Xia Qingshu held an apple in his left hand and three loquats in his right hand.

The other two people in the room looked at him eagerly, "Eat, why don't you eat?"

Although they seemed to be talking and laughing on the surface, Xia Qingshu seemed to see the subtext from their faces: Think carefully about what to eat first.

Xia Qingshu looked at the fruit in his hand, then looked up at He Chen and Chen Zhiyu.

He felt that if he ate the loquat first, He Chen might cry. If he eats the apple first, Chen Zhiyu's face will look ugly, and it is estimated that this will lead to a second cup-throwing incident.

The things in Chen Zhiyu's ward are very expensive, and Xia Qingshu is afraid of breaking Yuan blue and white porcelain or some cups and plates used by Emperor Kangxi.

Although it is not mine, I still feel it is a pity to see a national treasure-level work of art being smashed to pieces right under my nose.

Harmony brings wealth.

He put the apple and loquat in his mouth at the same time and took a bite.

Keep everything equal.

Sure enough, when the two saw him eat, they seemed to have fulfilled their wish and no longer looked at him coldly.

Eating loquat and apple together is sour and tastes like eating crystal grapes. Apples are big and loquats are small, so Xiaqingshu not only has to eat them at the same time, but also has to calculate the amount of each bite, and both fruits need to be eaten at the same time.

Very challenging.

He bit it in small nibbles, and his lips were covered with juice. His pink lips instantly became moist, like a plump cherry.

In the tense atmosphere between the two, he didn't dare to look around. His long crow-feather eyelashes drooped, trembling slightly from time to time.

Sitting there quietly, fragile and beautiful.

He Chen quickly pulled out a tissue, reached it directly under his chin, and wiped the juice off his chin.

After wiping, he did not throw the tissue away, but folded it in his hand several times, folded it into a small square and put it in his trouser pocket.

Seeing Xia Qingshu looking at him blankly, He Chen said confidently, "How can you be so stupid that you get yourself dirty even when eating fruit."

Xia Qingshu wanted to explain himself, but when he looked down, he saw that his collar was also stained by the juice. Although it felt strange, he knew that the other party meant well, so he stammered, "I'm not stupid."

Seeing that He Chen was about to reach out, Xia Qingshu stepped back a little and refused in a low voice, "I can do it myself."

Her delicate eyebrows were twisted, her mouth was pursed, and her eyes were wide open, making her look even more adorable.

He Chen couldn't help but reach out his hand again.

Chen Zhiyu stretched lazily with an unpleasant look on his face and shouted, "Qingshu, help me, I'm going to the bathroom."

Xia Qingshu left He Chen behind, jumped up from the sofa, ran to the bed and stretched out his hands.

He had never taken care of a patient, he had only watched how the nurses operated. Generally, patients have difficulty walking, so if they need to urinate, they can just use a chamber pot. If there is no chamber pot, a mineral water bottle can also be used.

If the patient needs to be treated seriously, the nurse will help the patient into a wheelchair and push him into the toilet.

Xia Qingshu found that Chen Zhiyu was a very picky person and would definitely not use a urinal. He would have to go to the toilet.

Chen Zhiyu put one hand on his shoulder and stood on one leg. Then Xia Qingshu remembered that he had forgotten to push the wheelchair over.

He planned to let Chen Zhiyu stand while he pushed the wheelchair, but he didn't expect He Chen to push the wheelchair over, push Chen Zhiyu to sit on the wheelchair with both hands, and then push him into the bathroom at lightning speed.

Xia Qingshu: “…”

Chen Zhiyu: “…”

After entering, he heard a "click".

The sound of the bathroom being locked.

What are these two people going to do? !

Xia Qingshu tiptoed to the bathroom door.

He didn't mean to eavesdrop, but he was afraid that the two of them might overreact and aggravate his leg injury.

As soon as he approached the door, he heard Chen Zhiyu's roar, and then the door opened, and He Chen came out with a dusty face and a dark face.

He Chen saw Xia Qingshu at the door and said slowly, "Why, do you want to go in?"

Xia Qingshu shook his head.

He Chen looked him over and thought he was telling the truth. His expression improved a little and he pointed at the sofa, "Sit over there."

Xia Qingshu was a little dissatisfied with his bossy attitude, "What do you want to say?"

He Chen took two steps forward, turned back and said hesitantly, "I'll pick you up at the InterContinental Hotel at 8 o'clock in the evening."

"......What do you mean?" Xia Qingshu raised his head and looked at him.

Young Master He Chen, who was too arrogant, of course could not explicitly express his intention to invite the other party to dinner, and said irritably, "Let's discuss the marriage between my family and yours."

Then, he paused, pretending to be indifferent, and said, "I don't want to look for you either, mainly because my parents have been talking about it recently."

The marriage involves two major families. Xia Yubin is not the biological son of the Xia family. It is normal for the He family to have doubts about the identity of the marriage partner.

But this matter is also very simple for Xia Qingshu. He will never interfere in the relationship between He Chen and Xia Yubin. He can just refuse directly.

Xia Qingshu glanced at him and nodded, "Okay."

Seeing him nod, He Chen pulled the corner of his mouth in a scoundrelly manner, "Then I'll leave."

"Aren't you going to wait for him to come out?" Xia Qingshu pointed to the bathroom. He Chen came to visit the patient, so he had to say goodbye to the patient before leaving.

"No." He Chen touched his cheek with his tongue and walked away shaking his neck.

After He Chen left, Chen Zhiyu came out of the bathroom in a wheelchair. He drove the wheelchair to the bedside and stood up by himself.

When he was wiping his hands with disinfectant, he heard two people talking at the door. Neither of them spoke very loudly, especially Xia Qingshu, whose voice was very soft, like the humming of a kitten. It was not very clear, but he could vaguely hear the words "I'll pick you up at the hotel in the evening."

He Chen refused to leave and went to the bathroom. After He Chen talked to Xia Qingshu for a few words alone, he disappeared.

Chen Zhiyu keenly realized that his young cousin had achieved his goal and ignored even basic etiquette.

With Xia Qingshu's help, he sat back on the bed and asked, "Is he gone?"

Xia Qingshu nodded.

"I seemed to hear you talking about a hotel just now?" Chen Zhiyu took out his laptop and asked casually.

"InterContinental Hotel." Xia Qingshu thought about it and it seemed to be this name.

Chen Zhiyu took a deep breath, "Why did he ask you to go to the hotel?"

He himself was not even aware of the dissatisfaction revealed in his tone.

After asking, he felt a little abrupt. Although the child liked him, this was someone else's private matter. Logically, he had no right to ask so many details.

He immediately changed his tone to that of an elder, saying, "It's not good for the two of you to go to a hotel alone at night."

His tone was a little strange, as if Xia Qingshu and He Chen had some unspeakable secret.

"What's wrong with that?" Xia Qingshu tilted his head, opened his watery eyes, and looked straight at him.

A pair of beautiful eyes without any extra emotions, just questions.

"......"

Chen Zhiyu seriously opened his mobile phone and pulled up the latest social news about guests being killed in hotels, guests fighting in hotels, and inadequate fire-fighting equipment in hotels. He glanced at it in front of Xia Qingshu and uttered a slight "tsk".

"See? It's not good."

"Isn't the InterContinental Hotel owned by your Chen Group?"

The InterContinental Hotel is the only seven-star hotel in the city. Although the costs are ridiculously high, the hotel is best known for its service, which makes customers feel at home.

There is very little negative news about this hotel in the outside world. The only drawback is that it is too expensive.

Is there something secret that cannot be told?

Xia Qing was possessed by the melon spirit of the tree. He put his legs together, sat upright, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

"...It's my property... There's nothing wrong with the InterContinental Hotel." Chen Zhiyu lowered his head and swiped his phone twice, then calmly found a social news report about a student who was killed after returning home late. He said confidently, "It's because the public security has been bad recently... Aren't you going home?"

"I need to go home." Xia Qingshu explained frankly, "He Chen told me something, it shouldn't be too late."

This matter concerned the marriage between the two families and also involved He Chen's privacy. Xia Qingshu felt it was not a good idea and did not elaborate.

Chen Zhiyu glanced sideways and looked at Xia Qingshu quietly, "Is that so?"

His tone was normal, but he raised the last syllable by two syllables, suggesting that the other party give more details.

However, Xia Qingshu didn't hear it, and nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "That's it."

"Meeting in the middle of the night... and in a place like a hotel..." Chen Zhiyu slowly probed, "You have a good relationship with him?"

Xia Qingshu shook his little head, his brows slightly knitted: "He Chen and I are not familiar with each other."

I heard that the original person was a fangirl and liked to pester He Chen. He even confessed his love to him, but he and He Chen were not familiar with each other.

But He Chen was not like Zhou Qian. He only talked to him every time and he could not get any good thing from him. He was always ridiculed by him unilaterally. He could not drive He Chen away like he drove Zhou Qian away.

There are some troubles.

This is a good opportunity to make things clear with He Chen. I hope that after everything is made clear, He Chen will stop bothering him.

As he spoke, his head tilted and his eyes slightly widened, like a beautiful cat.

Her facial features are bright, but her expression has nothing to do with romance. Instead, she is persistent like a child, and she tells him in a serious manner that she has nothing to do with He Chen.

Chen Zhiyu smiled with relief and said, "I understand."

~

While the two were talking, the nurse brought the medicine, explained the instructions for use, and left.

Chen Zhiyu raised his foot, handed the medicine to Xia Qingshu, and whispered, "Can you help me apply it?"

Xia Qingshu took the medicine and said, "I'll go get the cotton swab."

Xia Qingshu asked the nurse for a cotton swab, returned to the ward, and watched Chen Zhiyu take off his shirt and stand on one leg beside the bed.

Due to a calf injury, Chen Zhiyu was wearing shorts. Under the shorts were a pair of straight long legs, one of which was wrapped in gauze, demonstrating the courage of a man who is not afraid of injury.

Above the shorts is a slender waist, with clear but not exaggerated muscle lines on the waist and abdomen, and broad latissimus dorsi muscles, showing the stability and charm of a mature man.

He turned sideways and presented his two perfect chest muscles to Xia Qingshu.

Xia Qingshu:? ?

What is this situation? !

Why take off clothes if your leg is hit? !

Xia Qingshu stood there, as if what he was holding in his hand was not a cotton swab, but olive oil.

As long as he rubs it on Chen Zhiyu, Chen Zhiyu can stand on the stage and pose to show off his muscles.

Seeing him in a daze, Chen Zhiyu smiled softly and said, "Come here."

He could guess what Xia Qingshu was thinking. Nine out of ten. It's basically just meaningless thoughts like "my brother has a great body", "my brother is so handsome", "I like my brother so much" and so on.

The child just couldn't hide his emotions and just stared at him without blinking, without any scruples.

Lack of teaching.

Chen Zhiyu stood in the sun, holding the shirt he had just taken off in one hand and lifting the loose hair in front of his forehead with the other hand, revealing his handsome eyebrows.

As he moved, the muscles on his body became more obvious, which had a huge impact on Xia Qingshu.

Before traveling through the book, Xia Qingshu was used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry.

Bathing is a must in online movies. He has seen many male and female stars wearing cool clothes on the set. Chen Zhiyu's figure and appearance are not inferior to those of stars, and are even slightly better.

Faced with such a fierce visual impact, Xia Qingshu felt a little dry and licked his lips with his tongue.

He blinked, lowered his head, held the cotton swab, and slowly moved over.

"Why are you lowering your head? Be careful not to fall." Chen Zhiyu reached out and held his forehead, straightening his head.

Xia Qingshu came back to his senses, looked up, and saw a large area of ​​purple in front of him.

Chen Zhiyu was also hit on the back, and his spine was bruised, but the skin was not broken and the bones were not injured. Last night, only his legs were checked and the bruises on his body were not treated. Today he felt a little unwell and found that it was quite serious.

Xia Qingshu shook his head, wondering what he was thinking about just now. He didn't know what had blinded his eyes and he didn't even notice the bruises on the other person's back.

He immediately straightened his mind and his heart became as pure as the water of Lake Baikal.

Xia Qingshu opened the ointment, squeezed a little onto a cotton swab, and carefully applied it to his back.

As soon as the cotton swab touched his back, Chen Zhiyu said lazily, "How long will it take for you to wipe like this?"

"Oh oh." Xia Qingshu hurriedly threw away the cotton swab and dug out the medicine box. "I... let me take a look at the instructions."

Chen Zhiyu turned his head to look at him, "Didn't you nod repeatedly when the nurse said that just now?"

"I forgot." Xia Qingshu shrugged, not knowing why he suddenly forgot what the nurse said. "Ah, I remember now."

The nurse said that I should squeeze the medicine onto my hands first, dissolve it with body temperature, and then rub it onto the wound.

Xia Qingshu thought at the time that Chen Zhiyu's leg was still wrapped in plaster and there was no need to use ointment, so he didn't take it seriously. Little did he know that his back was also hit.

"Then...then lie down and I'll rub it for you."

As soon as Xia Qingshu picked up the ointment, Chen Zhiyu pinched his wrist, took the ointment from him, and squeezed a dollop of it into his hand.

Xia Qingshu didn't understand and looked over with wide eyes.

Chen Zhiyu smiled and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to control the force like you did last night when you squeezed the toothpaste, and it will be everywhere."

When I was washing up last night, he squeezed the toothpaste all over the place, it was quite disgusting.

"It was a mistake last night," Xia Qingshu immediately put on a serious face and dissolved the ointment in his hand, "It won't happen today."

Chen Zhiyu smiled mockingly, "I was forgetful just now."

The kid ate too much today and was in a daze the whole time.

Tsk.

Don't spoil him too much.

He lay prone on the hospital bed, and Xia Qingshu bent down, ready to gently press his medicated palm on his wound.

"Are you not in a good mood today? You are always distracted." Chen Zhiyu tilted his head so that he could see Xia Qingshu's profile.

He pursed his lips, his cheeks pouting, and the dimples around his mouth were very obvious. When he opened his mouth, the dimples disappeared.

Chen Zhiyu found it interesting and deliberately talked to him, "Do you want to call a nurse to come in and check you out?"

Hearing that he needed to be examined, Xia Qingshu was shocked and quickly shook his head, "No, no, no."

They say pregnancy makes women stupid for three years. Today I seem a little confused.

He subconsciously glanced at his stomach.

The belly was very flat. He had observed it yesterday. It was very flat and soft.

Her thin waist doesn't look like she's pregnant at all.

He was a little confused about the arrival of this child.

Although it was a book, this was also a real world. The examination results showed that the baby in his belly already had a fetal heartbeat and embryo.

But he and Chen Zhiyu didn't like each other and had no feelings for each other, and he didn't want the child.

This child was an accident.

He looked up at Chen Zhiyu. The other party was the child's father, and it seemed that... he had a little right to know about the child.

Xia Qingshu was considering whether to tell the other party about her pregnancy.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Zhiyu lay on the bed and saw that the other party was in a daze again.

It's all my fault. I'm too charming.

"......Nothing." Xia Qingshu came to his senses and found that he was applying medicine to Brother Zhiyu.

I was just thinking about something and became confused again.

He rubbed the thenar of his left hand to warm it up, then carefully placed it on Chen Zhiyu's back.

The little hand was incredibly soft, as if it had no bones, and even after being rubbed warm in advance, it was still ice-cold.

It feels smooth and soft when applied, just like rubbing against a piece of warm jade.

Chen Zhiyu was lying quietly, but the moment Xia Qingshu's little hand touched him, his whole body suddenly shook.

"Brother Zhiyu, what's wrong with you?" Xia Qingshu was frightened by his reaction and thought that he had hurt the other person because of his heavy hand.

He clearly didn't use any force.

"It's... okay." Chen Zhiyu buried his head in the pillow and responded muffledly.

"Brother Zhiyu, why don't I call a nurse? I'm afraid I might hurt you." Xia Qingshu stood up and was about to go out to call a nurse.

As soon as he reached the door, Chen Zhiyu called him, "Come back!"

Xia Qingshu was a little at a loss. He stood there and said in a stammering voice, "Brother Zhiyu, I don't really know how to do it."

"Don't you know how to learn?!" Chen Zhiyu was a little annoyed and his tone was a little impatient.

Xia Qingshu was frightened and didn't dare to apply medicine to him.

Brother Zhiyu must be in a lot of pain, that's why he got angry.

Chen Zhiyu realized that his tone was wrong just now. He was stunned for a moment and coaxed softly, "Qingshu, you didn't hurt me. I...you were a little weak just now. I was a little itchy. Don't call the nurse, just apply the medicine for me, a little harder."

Xia Qingshu murmured "hmm" and asked in disbelief, "Really?"

"Really!" Chen Zhiyu took a deep breath, "It doesn't hurt at all."

"Brother Zhiyu, I'll be heavier this time." Xia Qingshu sat back down.

He squeezed some ointment onto his hands and applied it on Chen Zhiyu's back again.

This time he used a little more strength and Chen Zhiyu's body stopped shaking.

Chen Zhiyu lay on the bed and felt the ointment applied to the bruises.

It didn't hurt at all. The hand that applied the medicine seemed to have no strength and was completely soft.

Are there such soft hands in the world? Still so young.

He can hold both of the other person's hands with one hand.

As Xia Qingshu approached, the hazy scent of lime and milk lingered at the tip of her nose. She could smell it by tilting her head slightly.

Somewhat nice smell.

Xia Qingshu applied the medicine very carefully, and as she was applying, she noticed goose bumps on Chen Zhiyu's back.

Xia Qingshu asked innocently, "Brother Zhiyu, are you cold?"

He looked up at the air conditioner and saw the temperature was 20 degrees Celsius, which he thought was just right. He was just worried that Zhiyu would feel cold with his bare back.

Chen Zhiyu also felt the changes in his body. He gritted his teeth and said in a dull voice, "...a little bit."

"Then should I turn up the air conditioner a little higher?"

"......good."

Xia Qingshu adjusted the air conditioner temperature to 28 degrees Celsius and continued to apply medicine to the other person.

Sure enough, after the temperature was raised, the goose bumps on Chen Zhiyu's back disappeared.

Xia Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to rub the bruise.

He rubbed the bruises on his back for a long time and found that there was no change. Then he realized that he really had lost strength.

He stood up, Kun straightened his arms, and used his strength.

After pushing it a few times, I felt a little tired and a little hot.

He took two breaths, his mouth slightly open, and the warm fragrance blew onto his bruised back.

The man's back trembled again.

Then he saw two lines of scarlet blood flowing out of Brother Zhiyu's nose.

Brother Zhiyu has a nosebleed.

~

Finally, the nurse was called over.

Chen Zhiyu leaned on the hospital bed and applied an ice towel to his nose.

His face was very gloomy, and he seemed unwilling to mention the nosebleed.

Xia Qingshu didn't understand what was going on, and kept asking the nurse, "Miss Nurse, do we need a brain CT scan? Could it be that a heavy object hit my head, causing intracranial hemorrhage? Otherwise, why would I have a nosebleed for no reason?"

After asking the nurse, he turned to Chen Zhiyu and asked, "Brother Zhiyu, do you feel any discomfort in your head?"

Chen Zhiyu waved his hand with a cold face, "It doesn't hurt."

The nurse was a woman in her thirties. She took Chen Zhiyu's blood pressure and said, "There's nothing wrong with your blood pressure. If you're worried, you can go for a comprehensive checkup."

Chen Zhiyu was fully aware of his condition and knew exactly what caused his nosebleed.

He glanced at Xia Qingshu calmly and said to the nurse calmly, "No need to check, I'm fine."

After the nurse left, Chen Zhiyu thought for a moment and explained, "It's probably because I got a sore throat. I've been drinking too much soup lately."

"Oh." Xia Qingshu thought about it and felt that it was very likely. Xia Lao Er made some soup and brought it over, and Mother Chen also made some soup and brought it over. Brother Zhiyu drank quite a bit.

He nodded and asked, "Brother Zhiyu, do you need to apply medicine on your back?"

Chen Zhiyu took a deep breath, was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly, "I won't wipe it anymore."

If you wipe it again, it won’t be as simple as a nosebleed.

What’s going on recently? Why has that steady mind, which was as solid as a rock in the sea, been declining again and again?

......

After the nurse left, there were only two people left in the ward again.

Xia Qingshu thought about the child again.

Brother Zhiyu is the child’s father, so we should ask for his opinion.

"Xi...ah, no, Brother Zhiyu." Xia Qingshu took a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table, then asked cautiously and tentatively, "Do you, do you want a child?"

Chen Zhiyu smiled faintly, as if he had completely understood the reason why the child had been so distracted the whole day.

My own beauty had some influence, but the most important thing was the fact that my mother came to induce labor today.

Although men can also have children, they are a minority after all, and the conditions are very strict.

His mother kept talking about "continuing the family line", which put a lot of pressure on the child's love for him.
