Chapter 16

The next morning, Chi Qi had enough sleep and went to the hospital in high spirits.

Having come here so many times, Chi Qi didn't need to look at the signs and took the elevator to Xie Mu's floor with ease. The wards here were all private rooms with attentive service and good privacy. Xie Mu lived in room 502 on the fifth floor.

When passing 501, I heard a loud quarrel inside. The door of the ward was ajar, so I couldn't see what was going on inside.

Huh? what happened?

Out of curiosity and the desire to join in the fun, Chi Qi slowed down his pace and moved forward at a snail's pace.

"Besides this face, what else can you compare with him?"

"But...but he's already dead. How can you compare yourself to a dead person?"

No way, that’s a huge amount of information, is it so exciting?

A female voice also exclaimed, "Wow, so exciting!"

? Who spoke my mind?

Chi Qi turned around and found that Shen Wanji had been standing behind him at some point, with an excited expression and an eager gaze towards the door.

Chi Qi: “!”

Do you walk without making any sound?

Afraid of startling the people in the ward, Shen Wanji quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice, "Don't scream."

"Mmmmm..." I didn't want to scream, let go, let go! You covered my nose too. Chi Qi's face flushed and he blinked desperately to signal Shen Wanji, hoping that she could let him go.

"What are you doing, kid?"

The hand covering his mouth tightened a little more, and Chi Qi felt dizzy and disoriented as he couldn't breathe fresh air.

Shen Wanji pricked up her ears, tiptoed towards the door of the ward, and listened attentively to the quarrel inside the room. She had a hunch that the two people inside must be deeply entangled.

Judging from what was just revealed, it is most likely substitute literature. She likes to read melodramatic literature.

"In my eyes, you are a licker and a bitch, which makes me extremely disgusted."

The excitement was instantly extinguished. Shen Wanji grabbed Chi Qi's shoulder with her other hand and shook it vigorously to express her dissatisfaction. "I hate scumbag literature the most. It always says hurtful things. People who don't have a mouth don't deserve a wife!"

Chi Qi: Don’t disturb me, I’m going to hold the rat in.

Not hearing a response from the person behind him, Shen Wanji turned his head and said in surprise: "Ah! Xiaochi, your face is so red, are you sick?"

Holding on to the last hope, Chi Qi pointed at her hand, then at himself. Shen Wanji reacted belatedly. She carefully withdrew one hand and hid it behind her back, "Hold a little~"

Chi Qi pulled the corners of his lips, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, "It's okay."

Bang, it was the sound of the body hitting the wall.

Did they fight?

Shen Wanji immediately turned around and peeked through the crack in the door, trying to peek at the scene inside the house.

The tall man had a ferocious look on his face, and he pinched the young man's neck viciously, like a devil descending upon him. "Do you really think I dare not touch you?"

The violent collision forced a muffled groan from his throat. The cool and handsome young man raised the corners of his lips in pain, with a proud but pale smile, "During the contract period, you belong to me."

The man cursed under his breath, "Mad."

He changed the subject and asked, "Where is the painting of the jacaranda?"

After hearing this, Shen Wanji's expression was meaningful, and he hissed, "Do you know what the flower language of Jacaranda is?"

Chi Qi shook his head, he didn't understand the language of flowers.

Shen Wanji didn't intend to find an answer. "The flower language of the Jacaranda is." She paused and her voice became deeper: "Waiting for love in despair. Whether you come or not, it blooms on the branches, waiting forever in despair."

"Such a sad flower language."

"It seems that because I have been illuminated by tenderness before, I am so persistent in wanting to grasp the only light." Shen Wanji murmured, and Chi Qi followed her gaze and looked inside the door.

The young man's eyes suddenly became lonely, and he lowered his head in silence.

"Are you ruined?" The tone suddenly rose, sounding scary in the empty ward. The man was enraged, breathing rapidly, and became more and more reckless in his attacks.

His shoulder blade was pinched painfully, and he could faintly hear a creaking sound. The young man said intermittently: "No... because that is me, my painting."

"You've been a plagiarist for so long, do you really think it's yours?"

In a trance, the young man felt like he was being torn apart by a large beast. He felt sharp pains in his limbs, and his heart was dragged out of his body, bloody and without the ability to beat.

After the man finished mocking, he resumed his superior attitude and said, "Name a price. Sell it to me. You can name any price."

He had money and was willing to spend it on a painting that was priceless to him.

Unexpectedly, the young man's attitude was very firm, "No, I won't sell my paintings, no matter how much money you offer me."

Their heavy breathing intertwined with each other as they faced each other, neither of them willing to give in.

Chi Qi raised his eyes slightly and saw the man grabbed the young man's wrist, turned his back to him, leaned over and pressed him down, not knowing what he was doing.

Before he could figure it out, the scene in front of him suddenly fell into darkness, everything around him was magnified, and there was a faint sound of swallowing water.

Shen Wanji covered his eyes and pulled him while muttering, "Not suitable for children, not suitable for children."

Chi Qi: “…”

Listen to me, thank you...

Back in Ward 502, Shen Wanji concluded indignantly, "Those who can't get what they want are always in turmoil, and those who are favored are fearless. A scumbag who has done this level doesn't even deserve a chance at the crematorium, just scatter his ashes."

"Men should not be spoiled. In my opinion, two slaps on the face will make them behave. They are still thinking about what is in the pot while eating from the bowl. If they were really capable, they should not have bowed their heads in the first place. They just said they were disgusted and then they hugged and bit me. It seems that this disgust is the separation of man and machine."

"What's that line? His heart is dead, but his mouth is alive. He will forcefully kiss people. It's scary."

The stiletto heels rubbed against the ground, and every sound stung Chi Qi's eardrums. He poured a cup of cold tea, handed it to Shen Wanji, and then condemned the scumbag with her, "Calm down, don't ruin your health for irrelevant popularity."

After Chi Qi's persuasion, Shen Wanji calmed down a lot and picked up her bag. "The smell of the crematorium nearby is too disgusting. I'm leaving first and won't accompany you."

Watching Shen Wanji leave, Chi Qi turned around to look at the man lying on the bed. After not seeing him for a few days, he still looked so much like what he liked. It was just a pity that he suffered so much at such a young age and became a vegetable.

He dragged the chair to the bedside, stood close to Xie Mu, cleared his throat, and said, "I checked online. It said that vegetative patients have no consciousness and cannot hear people talking, so I just said it casually. It's like talking to a cow anyway."

"I'm not being perfunctory. Auntie Chen allowed me to express myself freely. If she had made a request, even if it was just asking me to keep singing to you, I wouldn't have any objection. After all, I received a lot of money. The most important thing is that we don't even know each other. What can I say to you?"

Chi Qi continued to talk nonsense, "You have been lying here for a long time, don't lose heart, there is still a chance to wake up. My dream used to be to lie in bed forever, with clothes to wear and food to eat, so you... uh... are pretty amazing."

As he spoke, he amused himself, and there was a hint of laughter in his voice, "Forget it, I'll read the text to you, I can't go on any further."

"Ahem, Bashan and Chushui are desolate places, responsibility." As soon as the words fell, Chi Qi suddenly covered Xie Mu's ears, "Sorry, you pretended not to hear, I'll do it again."

He watched too many videos, but he didn't learn anything else except remembering the jokes word for word. Chi Qi felt a little embarrassed. He pretended to be busy, patted the clean and tidy bed sheets, suppressed the weirdness in his heart, and then spoke again.

When he spoke seriously, his voice was still very pleasant, and his timbre was clear and pure, like the gurgling of a spring in a mountain stream, which matched his appearance very well.

After reading the poems, I started reciting classical Chinese, one poem after another, and time passed slowly.

With a dry mouth, Chi Qi looked at the fruit plate on the table. The fruits in it were all very fresh. Even though Xie Mu couldn't finish them, they were still changed every day.

He didn't hesitate and picked the biggest and reddest one, wiped it with a tissue, and then picked up the fruit knife. There was nothing he could do about it because he was picky about food and couldn't eat it without peeling the skin.

Chi Qi concentrated his attention and slowly moved his wrist. He only needed one more circle to get a complete fruit peel, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the person on the bed moving his fingers.

My hand shook and the apple peel broke.

Without caring about regret, he took a bite of the sweet and crisp apple and moved closer to look at Xie Mu. The man was lying there obediently again, as if what happened just now was just an illusion.

Chi Qi asked suspiciously: "Are you awake?"

There was no response. Chi Qi sat back down. Although it was daytime, he felt a little cold on his back. He rubbed his arms and turned on his phone.

Soon, the high-pitched song floated in the ward.

"The boundless horizon is my love, the flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills, what kind of rhythm is the most swinging, what kind of song is the most cheerful ~"

After the song was over, Chi Qi's heart was filled with passion. Even if Xie Mu sat up and greeted him now, he could still greet him calmly... Bullshit.

If he really pretends to be dead, he will be the only one who will be scared to death.

Chi Qi pondered for a long time and found a new solution. Whenever he was in doubt, he would turn to Xiaodu for help. He carefully typed in the search bar: Can a vegetative person move?

Intelligent answer: A vegetative person generally does not move, but may have some involuntary activities.

Then moving fingers is a common situation, which should be normal. Chi Qi was not confident, but he had no way to verify it.

[I’m so conflicted. Never mind. Just eat some melon and relax.] 】

He picked a title that looked interesting.

【What? The "creditor" actually helped the beautiful female star who was blackened by the whole network to find her biological parents. The billionaire shed tears and said, "No matter how much money I owe you, I will give it to you."]

【Stimulate! The adopted son of the Jiang family forced his eldest brother to say the first thing when he looked in the mirror every morning: "Hi! Sister-in-law!"

[Wuhu, wonderful!] 】

Half an hour passed, and Chi Qi was still addicted to eating melons.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang. He glanced at the screen and saw that it was Chen Wanji calling.

Chi Qi clicked the answer button, and a voice came from the other end quickly, "Xiao Chi, I just watched a video, and an expert said that people who lie down for a long time will develop bedsores. Can you help me see if Xiao Mu has them?"

"..." Chi Qi held the phone, "The nurse will clean the body every day, and Mr. Xie seems to be well taken care of."

"Not necessarily. What if it's an irresponsible nurse? Besides, bedsores are hidden under clothes and we can't see them. It's easy for the nurse to be lazy."

Chi Qi still hesitated, "I think Mr. Xie would mind."

"No, no, no, Xiaochi, feel free to lift his clothes. We are all men, and it won't hurt to look at him a few times. If he's being pretentious, I'll take care of it for you!"

"Okay." Unable to refuse, Chi Qi bit his lip and gently lifted the quilt of the person on the bed.

“Look, look!”
