C24 The Tenderness of Every Detail
"Take a rest, I'll go to the supermarket downstairs to buy some daily necessities." As he spoke, he stood up and did not forget to say a few words before leaving, "If you need anything, just ring the bell. The nurse will be here soon."
Not long after Lee Jingyu left, Kang Wenyuan called back, "My phone ran out of battery just now. What's up?"
Was it because his phone had no battery or because he had no electricity?
Chu Qingyan calmly replied with a sneer, "It's fine. I'm just asking if your business trip was smooth sailing."
She didn't listen carefully to what Kang Wenyuan said on the other end of the phone. She only thought about who the woman with him was and wondered if he would divorce her for that woman.
Until she hung up the phone, Chu Qingyan didn't mention that she was hospitalized for acute appendicitis.
It's enough to have Lee Jingyu to accompany her, Kang Wenyuan … Let him be merry and not disturb him!
Lying on the bed, the anesthetic slowly faded away. The pain tormented Chu Qingyan, turning over and over and causing her extreme discomfort.
Ye Xiaoxiao and Wu Shasha called to tell Chu Qingyan how happy they were. They ate a lot of good food and bought beautiful clothes and bags. It was a pity that she didn't go.
Chu Qingyan sighed secretly. Luckily, she didn't go. If she was hospitalized with acute appendicitis in Hong Kong, she would have to pay for the medical fees and medical insurance. That would be too much of a tragedy!
They chattered non-stop while Chu Qingyan feebly chimed in from time to time.
Hearing that something was wrong, Ye Xiaoxiao asked, "Are you asleep?"
Chu Qingyan said she was lying in bed watching TV and didn't mention being hospitalized at all.
With that, Chu Qingyan turned around to look at Lee Jingyu, who was playing on his phone on the bed.
His nose was very high, like a tall and straight mountain peak. His lips were very thin, and the corners of his lips were slightly tilted upwards. He seemed to be smiling, but not smiling. It was very beautiful.
Sensing Chu Qingyan's gaze, he turned to look her in the eye and returned her gaze with a smile.
Chu Qingyan's heart skipped a beat as she retracted her gaze. However, Lee Jingyu did not retract his gaze and continued to stare at her.
Only when Chu Qingyan hung up did he say, "Are you thirsty?"
"Yeah, a little."
Her lips were dry and cracked, and there was a danger of smoke in her throat.
"I just went to ask the nurse. You still haven't taken out your breath, so you can only moisten your mouth. You can't eat or drink until tomorrow when you're out of breath."
Lee Jingyu took out the bone china teacup that he bought specially for her from the shopping bag. There was a cute picture of a Winnie Bear on it, so he washed it clean and filled half of the cup with water. Then he sat on the bed with a cotton swab and carefully dipped it in water to wipe her lips.
Chu Qingyan opened and closed her mouth like a fish lacking water. No matter how little water there was, it was always better than nothing.
After wiping her throat, Chu Qingyan suddenly exclaimed, "Aiya, you haven't applied for leave yet."
Lee Jingyu pressed her hand that was anxious to make a phone call and said with a smile, "I've already applied for leave for you, you can rest for half a month."
Chu Qingyan relaxed after hearing his words and couldn't say any more words of thanks. She could only secretly note down his good points in her heart and hope that she would have the opportunity to repay him in the future.
Lee Jingyu's assistant brought him his pajamas and the clothes he wore the next day. He also bought two sets of pajamas for Chu Qingyan. According to his instructions, they would be washed and dried before sending them over.
An hour after the operation began, Chu Qingyan was sweating profusely, Lee Jingyu sat on the bed and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
Chu Qingyan's hospital gown was soaked. He called for the nurse to help her change into her dry pajamas.
By the second half of the night, his bright eyes had dimmed a lot.
Unable to bear to see Lee Jingyu suffer for himself, Chu Qingyan urged him to go to bed many times.
He only agreed on the surface, but did not lie down on the bed.
There were too many people running air-conditioning in the hospital, which led to unstable voltage, the cooling effect of air-conditioning became worse and worse, and Lee Jingyu was unbearably hot.
After his bath, he did not even wear a shirt. His upper body was bare as he shook in front of Chu Qingyan.
It was normal for a man to be naked, but when she looked at him, she felt so uncomfortable that she didn't know where to look.
Half of the anesthetic was gone, and Chu Qingyan's lower abdomen was hurting more and more. When the doctor came to check up on her, he told her to turn over, to avoid the adhesion on her intestines, and to endure the pain.
Lee Jingyu couldn't help her even if he wanted to, he could only watch as she panicked.
Seeing his anxious look, Chu Qingyan was filled with mixed feelings. She suddenly cried with sorrow, "Lee Jingyu, why are you so good to me?"
Tears the size of beans rolled down his face.
