C16 You're My Woman Now

When Ryoko woke up, it was already six o'clock.

She did not know when she fell asleep and subconsciously looked at Shen Chengcheng. The face on the bed was facing the window and her clear eyes were closed. The waves on the monitor were normal and she heaved a sigh of relief.

The door opened and the nurse walked in.

"You're awake?" The nurse put down the things in her hands and Ryoko smiled embarrassingly. When the nurse came in at four o'clock, she saw this person lying on the bed like a pig and sleeping. Just as she was about to call out, Shen Chengcheng did not let her call out.

"How is it?" Ryoko asked the nurse.

"His body temperature is normal now. I'm afraid he will need a few more days of acupuncture for pharyngitis!" The nurse recorded the data and said.

It was seven o'clock. Jin Qi, who had gone out at some point, came back from outside. He was dressed in sportswear and his forehead was covered in sweat.

Ryoko did not quite understand this couple. A faint description was the only description that she felt was appropriate to describe them.

Shen Chengcheng probably did not sleep. She just closed her eyes. She only opened her eyes when the doctor came to check the bed.

It was almost the same as yesterday. Lily bought a light breakfast and Shen Chengcheng only drank porridge.

Jin Qi went out after breakfast. Shen Chengcheng spent most of her time sleeping and Lily was very careful to accompany him. It was also considered relaxing.

In the afternoon, Chen Yingfeng came.

Shen Chengcheng pulled out the needle and leaned against the bed. Lily was smart. She knew they had something to say, so she closed the door and went out.

"What do you think? I was scared to death yesterday. If it wasn't for Mr. Jin..." Chen Yingfeng did not finish his sentence, but Shen Chengcheng understood that if it wasn't for Jin Qi's sudden appearance, she would have met the King of Hell long ago.

That was right.

Shen Chengcheng smiled.

"Mr. Jin didn't ask who I was. If he asked, how should I tell him?" This was Chen Yingfeng's mental illness.

"He won't ask!" Shen Chengcheng couldn't help but cough a few times. "If he asks, then tell him the truth. Chen Xue was funded by me. This isn't a secret, is it?"

Chen Yingfeng paused slightly. That's right. How could he forget about this? Pooh, pooh, ungrateful!

Chen Xue was Chen Yingfeng's daughter. All the money that she had invested in school all these years was sponsored by Shen Chengcheng.

Once the illness in his heart was cured, Chen Yingfeng could not sit still anymore. "You rest, I'm going back!"

"Yes!" Shen Chengcheng nodded. She definitely would not get off the bed to send people off.

It had been two days, but Chu Jie still did not contact the landlord. He said that he came to Liangzhou, but the phone was turned off when he called.

He did not dare to show his face in front of Jin Qi for the whole day.

Jin Qi returned to the hospital at half past five. His clothes were slightly wrinkled. He took off his suit and went to take a shower first.

"Feeling better?" He wiped his hair and sat on the chair beside Shen Chengcheng's bed.

"Much better!" Shen Chengcheng knew that they were about to talk.

Jin Qi opened the drawer of the bedside table and took a piece of paper and threw it on Shen Chengcheng's blanket. "My phone number!"

Shen Chengcheng looked at it and nodded. "Okay!"

This was Jin Qi's private number.

"Tell me!" Jin Qi's eyes were cold, and his voice was calm. He said these three words with a profound meaning. What should he say?

Why did she come to Liangzhou?

Business trip?

A business trip without even a secretary?

Why was her body like this?

Yes, it was time to say it!

Shen Chengcheng got up with difficulty and sat on the hospital bed. She turned around and did not look at Jin Qi. Instead, she quietly looked out the window.

On one side of the ward of this small hospital was a row of brown windows. On top of them hung old curtains that were washed until they were white. Outside the window was the gloomy sky of Liangzhou. Layers of thick lead clouds were like a dark curtain. It covered this city, Longgang Town.

"Then Mister Jin, did you come here just to find me?" Shen Chengcheng's pale lips lightly parted as she lightly questioned.

"I should be the one asking you now. Shouldn't you answer my question first?" Jin Qi did not answer Shen Chengcheng directly. He imitated Shen Chengcheng and looked out the window. He also threw the question to her at the same time.

"No matter what, I still have to thank you for your concern." Shen Chengcheng took the opportunity to pick up the cup of water on the bed and gently took a sip. " If you hadn't arrived in time, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to say such things to you now."

"You're already my woman now. It's my duty to take care of you. So, there's no need to thank me for these words. " Jin Qi's expression slightly changed, "Could it be that you came all the way here because you want to get sick? Sleep in the hospital bed! "

Shen Chengcheng turned her head to look at Jin Qi, her handsome face expressionless. Her obsidian deep eyes stared straight into the distance, as if all of this was caused by Shen Chengcheng herself. And he, Jin Qi, was the man who came to help her at the most critical moment. He wanted to prevent her from falling into that endless abyss.

Thinking of this, Shen Chengcheng put down the cup of water, hugged her two slender arms, and buried her head down. The bangs in front of her drooped down like tassels, cleverly blocking her current expression.

That was an undetectable weak and tired expression. It was the appearance of a little girl belonging to Shen Chengcheng.

"Of course not. The beds here are not as comfortable as the ones at home." Shen Chengcheng looked up and forced a smile, "I think that my purpose of coming here should be the same as some people."

Jin Qi's deep eyes suddenly contracted. He bowed slightly and turned to Shen Chengcheng. He said, "Are those shops in the west of the city you...?"

Shen Chengcheng did not say anything at this time. The corner of her mouth lifted up slightly and gave Jin Qi an elusive smile.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened. It was Ryoko's medicine for changing the hanging needle.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Jin Qi and Shen Chengcheng's eyes that were staring at each other suddenly separated.

Ryoko, who was standing by the side, seemed to have noticed that the atmosphere was not right. She asked timidly, "If you have something to talk about, I will come back later?"

"No need." Jin Qi indicated to her, "You can change the dressing for her first. I have something to do and need to go out for a while."

After saying that, Jin Qi walked straight to the door and left the ward.

In the ward, only Ryoko, who was standing by the side, was left dumbstruck, as well as Shen Chengcheng, who was lying weakly on the bed.

At this time, there was a deafening thunder outside the window. In the cloudy sky, a few bolts of lightning were like giant dragons swimming in the sky, faintly visible in the lead clouds.

"Faint thunder, hazy sky, even if there is no rain, I will still stay here..." Shen Chengcheng looked out the window and muttered thoughtfully.

"Sorry Miss Shen, can I ask you a question?" Ryoko, who was changing the medicine, looked at Shen Chengcheng and asked.

"What?" Shen Chengcheng asked.

"Well, are you and Mr. Jin really husband and wife? I also know that this is not what I should ask. It is just that I am too curious." Ryoko asked with a puzzled expression.

"Of course. Don't you look like it?" Shen Chengcheng was amused by the nurse's question and she also smiled faintly.

"Yes, yes! Of course, it's just that I keep feeling a little..." Ryoko said in embarrassment.

"It's a little strange, isn't it?" Shen Chengcheng said. The smile on her face disappeared and was replaced by silence, just like herself, quiet and indisputable.

"This, many couples should be like this now. They hurriedly got married and actually realized that they were not as happy as they imagined after being together. Sigh. " Speaking up to this point, Ryoko gently sighed, as if she was talking about her own worries.
