Chapter 106 He was hungry
Shen Yi sat on the edge of the bed, his fingertips deftly peeling a pomelo. The glistening flesh was neatly arranged on a plate and handed to Su Qiu.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
Su Qiu leaned against the headboard, lazily forked a piece of pomelo and stuffed it into her mouth, squinting as she enjoyed being fed, not caring that there was some pomelo juice on the corner of her mouth.
"You're being cheeky, looking for trouble?"
Shen Yi was about to retort.
At this moment, the doctor came in carrying a tray of medicine and clean patient gowns:
"It's time to change the medication."
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Qiu raised her hand and unbuttoned her hospital gown, revealing the bandaged wound.
As soon as Shen Yi's gaze fell on her injury, his brows furrowed tightly, his eyes filled with heartache.
But when his gaze inadvertently swept over her sleek waist and abdomen, his ears turned bright red in an instant. He abruptly turned his head to look out the window, his ears burning.
He's still here, woman...
Shen Yi muttered to himself, but then he thought, they're boyfriend and girlfriend, so it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with just glancing at each other...
Just as she was struggling with this, she suddenly met Su Qiu's gaze.
Su Qiu raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly teasing: "Looks good? Do you like those abs?"
Shen Yi was taken aback, his ears turned even redder, and he muttered under his breath, "Shameless."
The doctor pretended not to hear, continued changing the dressing, and was about to leave.
Su Qiu said loudly, "The clothes you changed out of will be brought over later."
The doctor nodded and said, "Okay."
After everyone left, Su Qiu picked up a clean patient gown and began changing, seemingly oblivious to those around her.
Shen Yi sat there, unsure of what to do with his hands.
His eyes were fixed on the ground, not daring to even glance upwards out of the corner of his eye, his cheeks burning hot enough to fry an egg.
After Su Qiu changed her clothes, she couldn't help but chuckle softly at his appearance.
"Hey, Shen Yi, why is your face so red?"
Shen Yi suddenly stood up, his back to her: "I'll go get you a glass of water."
Before he could finish speaking, he practically fled in panic.
Su Qiu smiled and said, "Why are you running away? I'm not going to eat you."
……
Shen Yi has recently been treating the company almost like a "stopover" that he only visits occasionally.
Aside from attending important meetings or signing contracts, he spent all his time by Su Qiu's side.
Early that morning, he came in carrying breakfast and placed the insulated bag on the bedside table:
"I brought you breakfast. It's soy milk and steamed buns from the shop next to the hospital. They're still warm."
Su Qiu was leaning against the headboard, flipping through a book. Hearing this, she looked up and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's just a small matter; I need to go to the company for a morning meeting."
As Shen Yi was about to leave, he took two steps but then suddenly turned back, pulled his phone out of his pocket, and waved it.
"If you want to get out of bed and walk around later, or if you want to go somewhere, remember to send me a message."
This is... this is a routine reporting system between boyfriends and girlfriends; it needs to be done completely.
He spoke with a straight face, but his ears were secretly turning red.
Su Qiu raised an eyebrow and let out a soft "hmm" through her nose, as if in response.
Shen Yi turned and walked to the door, placing his hand on the doorknob.
As if she had suddenly made up her mind, she abruptly let go of his hand and strode back to the bedside.
Before Su Qiu could react, he bent down, cupped her face, and kissed her fiercely with a hint of urgency and recklessness.
The kiss was quick and heavy, with a touch of youthful clumsiness, yet it was exceptionally passionate.
"Farewell kiss".
Shen Yi uttered three words and practically fled in panic. When he turned around, his ears were so red they were almost bleeding, and he even staggered a little.
The door had just closed when Xiao Xitian, the little fairy godmother from the bedside table, suddenly floated out, mimicking Shen Yi's tone and repeating in a cheeky manner:
"Farewell kiss~"
Su Qiu couldn't help but chuckle softly, giving a light sneer to the air:
"Tsk, the strength is enough, but... it's a bit too short."
Xiao Xitian tilted his head, shaking it as if he understood but not quite: "Not enough? Should we call him back to make another one?"
"No need." Su Qiu picked up the book again, but couldn't help but smile slightly. "We'll talk about it when he gets back."
Su Qiu put down her book and slowly moved to the edge of the bed, her feet barely touching the ground.
I couldn't resist stretching my muscles and bones, raising my hand and stretching, my joints making a series of crisp sounds.
She looked down at her arm; the bandaged areas no longer hurt.
The scab on the wound began to fall off, revealing tender new flesh underneath.
In fact, she has recovered very quickly in the past few days, and her so-called "burns" and "bullet wounds" have already healed to almost complete.
If it heals for another week, the marks will probably be almost invisible.
The doctor said I need to rest for a week before I can get out of bed, so I'll pretend to be asleep for a week.
These past few days have been so tiring; she's had to wait for Shen Yi to serve her every need, from food to drink.
To be honest, that little thing really took it to heart.
The doctor we found was one of the best in the industry, and the medicine we used was extremely expensive.
I bring her delicious food every day, trying different things, afraid that she won't recover well.
"Tsk," Su Qiu touched her abdomen.
There were indeed some faint marks there, like bullet holes. Although they were flat, the color contrast was quite obvious.
She didn't care, but it seemed to be something deeply etched in Shen Yi's heart.
I have to ask myself twice a day, "Will it leave a scar?"
Her brows were furrowed, as if she were afraid that the scar would cause something.
Besides, she has more than one scar on her body.
"Host, are you still going to pretend?" Xiao Xitian's voice rang in her mind.
Su Qiu walked to the window, pulled back a corner of the curtain, and looked outside.
Sunlight shone on her face, and she squinted.
"Pretend, why not? Pretend for a day now, and you can get Shen Yi to serve you for a day. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
She turned around and moved her ankle with ease, showing no signs of being "still recovering from a serious injury".
"Doctors aren't easy to fool, are they?"
"They can't force me to go for a checkup, can they? It's not like I didn't pay for the medical bills."
"But the villain asked about your abdominal injury yesterday," Xiao Xitian reminded him, "and he even consulted a doctor."
Su Qiu raised an eyebrow, a cryptic smile playing on her lips:
"Just ask," Su Qiu said nonchalantly. "He's probably just hungry."
Xiao Xitian was silent for a few seconds, then managed to utter, "6."
Su Qiu pushed open the ward door, and the smell of disinfectant wafted out of the corridor.
White Wolf stood at the door, his black jacket making him appear even more imposing.
Upon seeing her emerge, he immediately nodded slightly, his tone respectful: "Boss."
Su Qiu glanced at him, her voice a little deeper than in the hospital room: "You've had a tough time these past few days."
"Boss, you flatter me." White Wolf straightened up, his face expressionless but conveying genuine sincerity.
"Protecting you is my duty, it's not hard work."
Su Qiu nodded, said nothing more, and walked towards the stairwell.
"I'm going for a walk, you don't need to come with me."
"Yes," the white wolf replied readily, watching her figure disappear around the corner of the stairs.
In the stairwell, Su Qiu walked down step by step. After going down, there were more people, and it became lively.
Upon entering the courtyard, the flowers in the flowerbeds were even more vibrant than they had been a few days prior.
