Chapter 27

After being idle at home for several days, just when Chi Qi was about to lose his ambition, he received a message from Shen Wanji.

[Chen Wanji]: My dear Xiaochi, do you have time recently?

[Chi Qi]: Yes (well behaved.jpg)

[Chen Wanji]: That’s great! I want you to stay with Xiao Mu for a while longer until Xiao Mu fully recovers, is that okay?

[Chen Wanji]: Transfer ￥500000

[Chi Qi]: No problem, I guarantee to complete the task!

After Chi Qi received the money, he looked at the balance with satisfaction, jumped up from the bed, opened the bedroom, and said hello to Chi's father and mother as he walked downstairs, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to the hospital. Remember to save me dinner tonight."

He ran so fast that he disappeared in a flash.

I arrived at the hospital without any obstruction. The journey was extremely smooth. Even the elevator happened to stop on this floor, so I didn't have to wait.

He didn't feel anything when he walked in and pressed the floor button.

Until he arrived in front of the ward, Chi Qi hesitated. A feeling of homesickness emerged in his mind. Nervousness surged in his heart. He stood in front of the ward and did not dare to push the door.

What kind of expression should I show when we meet later? 】

Chi Qi sighed and muttered to himself.

[Before Mr. Xie woke up, I didn't feel awkward staying in the same room with him, because I knew that Mr. Xie had no perception of the outside world.

It’s different now. Mr. Xie can talk, breathe and move his eyes. It’s scary! I don't dare to go in T_T】

Xie Mu in the ward: "..."

Isn’t this the case for all living people?

People know clearly that I am a patient, but those who don’t know clearly might think I am a scary zombie based on your description.

Oddly enough, Xie Mu could not only hear Chi Qi's inner thoughts, but sometimes those thoughts even came with expressions, which were very vivid and lifelike.

Chi Qi hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't muster up the courage, so he decided to send a message to Shen Wanji, asking her if she was in the ward. If she was, he would be able to relax a little.

Shen Wanji replied quickly and said he was there.

He then pressed the door handle and walked into the ward.

Xie Mu's hair was cut shorter and trimmed very neatly. His face was ruddy and he looked energetic, but he still had no expression. His long eyelashes were slightly swept down, looking cold and sparse.

Chi Qi used all his patience to retract his gaze. Seeing several earthenware jars on the table, he asked curiously, "What are those?"

Shen Wanji opened the lid of the earthenware jar with a clang and introduced them one by one, "I made a lot of soup for Xiao Mu, there's still a lot left, Xiao Chi, do you want to try it?"

The soup was rich and fragrant. Chi Qi secretly swallowed his saliva and said reservedly, "I'm so embarrassed."

After all, he is here to work, not to eat.

"You'll have more energy if you're full." Shen Wanji had already taken out clean bowls and chopsticks, and used a spoon to scoop him a full bowl of soup, and said enthusiastically: "Xiao Chi, why are you being so polite to me? Come and try my cooking."

"Great!" Chi Qi took the bowl and put it to his mouth before realizing something was wrong. His expression froze for a moment, "Why is the soup green?"

Shen Wanji's expression remained unchanged, "What's wrong with the green soup?"

Her tone was too normal, which made Chi Qi feel that he was being too surprised, so he quickly said, "It's okay."

Maybe a green soup would be more delicious?

Shen Wanji added: "Don't worry, if you don't believe me, ask Xiao Mu, he just finished drinking, nothing happened."

Chi Qi looked over and saw a hint of death on Xie Mu's face, but due to the threatening look from his mother, he reluctantly gave him a thumbs up.

Chi Qi: “…”

ah? I'm a little afraid to drink.

"Xiao Chi, drink it quickly. If you don't drink it now, the soup will get cold. I worked so hard to make it for a long time." Shen Wanji kept urging me in my ears.

Unable to find a reason to refuse, Chi Qi closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and held his breath. But after a moment, an indescribable taste spread between his lips and teeth.

It tastes terrible. It tastes really terrible. I want to vomit.

Shen Wanji urgently needed a feedback, "How is it?"

Chi Qi was silent for a while before speaking, "Let me think about how to describe it most appropriately..."

[The moment this bowl of soup entered my mouth, I knew my mouth was invaded. The last time I had this kind of ecstasy was when I smelled the dog's paws that hadn't been washed for ten days. 】

“…”

Chi Qi thought for a moment and raised his head, "I've thought about it. The soup tastes like a thunderstorm."

Shen Wanji was puzzled: "Ah? Thunderstorm?"

Isn’t Thunderstorm a literary work? How does it have anything to do with food?

Chi Qi explained slowly, "It's layered."

It tastes unpleasant when it enters your mouth, and another unpleasant taste when you swallow it.

All in all, it's hard to drink.

[If I have a stomachache because of drinking soup, should it be considered an occupational injury? 】

Shen Wanji: “…”

Was the soup she had worked so hard to make really such a failure?

Xie Mu, who had been watching the whole process silently, narrowed his eyes. How could he praise you for risking your life?

The abstract evaluation did not defeat the eagle-like woman. Shen Wanji quickly adjusted herself and came over with her phone in hand. "Xiao Chi, I'm buying something for Xiao Mu. Come over and help me choose."

[The person involved is right here, shouldn’t we ask for his opinion? Ask me? I'm not the worm in Mr. Xie's stomach. 】

Although confused, Chi Qi still turned his eyes to the phone.

Shen Wanji pointed at the screen, "This is the latest model of mobile phone. It is said that it takes great photos. What do you think?"

Chi Qi nodded, "I think it's good."

But why did you choose pink? Could it be that Mr. Xie has a girlish dream? 】

Shen Wanji placed the order happily, "I think it's good too."

In a corner where the two of them were concentrating on shopping and no one was paying attention, Xie Mu twitched his lips.

Shen Wanji continued to search in the shopping cart, "Look at this popular mattress, the recommendation makes me excited, authoritative certification, comfortable and warm, it can give me the experience of home."

Chi Qi's expression was blank, and the question that was about to come to his lips was turned around and swallowed back.

Why am I the subject? Shouldn’t it be him? 】

[Oh, I understand. Aunt Chen is buying things for Mr. Xie on the surface, but she is actually trying to find ways to reward herself. After all, she can let the child suffer but not herself. 】

Shen Wanji placed orders for a few more items that perfectly suited her taste. Her shopping desire was satisfied. She glanced out the window and said, "It's sunny outside. You and Xiao Mu should go out for a walk together."

Chi Qi pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me?"

"Yeah." Shen Wanji nodded with a smile, "It's you."

Chi Qi has always agreed that professional matters should be left to professionals. He originally wanted to suggest that Shen Wanji find a caregiver, but then he thought, since he had received so much money, he couldn't just do nothing and refuse all the tasks.

So Chi Qi said, "Okay, I'll try."

[Just give it a try. If anything happens to Mr. Xie, I won't be able to compensate you with my life.] 】

Shen Wanji then happily pushed out the wheelchair and introduced it to him, "This is a luxurious double electric wheelchair that I specially customized. Xiao Mu will sit in the front and you can sit in the back.

"The remote control is on the armrest. Don't worry. Xiao Mu is a good driver. He drives the wheelchair very steadily and won't cause you to fall." Shen Wanji seemed to be in a good mood. He spoke very quickly and said, "That's it. I'm leaving. Bye, Xiao Chi~"

He turned around, raised his leg and closed the door, the series of movements were smooth and flowing.

Without giving Chi Qi time to react, he and Xie Mu were the only ones left in the ward again.

The two looked at each other in silence, with a faint awkwardness in the air, which lasted for several minutes.

Xie Mu's legs had not yet recovered their strength and he could not walk upright, so the simple action of moving from the bed to the wheelchair was a very difficult task for him.

Suddenly losing control of the legs will inevitably lead to a sense of gap. Having to rely on others for help all the time will also make the patient feel frustrated. Over time, it will cause irreversible psychological damage.

Chi Qi sighed and secretly decided that he would protect Xie Mu's self-esteem. He took the initiative to say, "Mr. Xie, let me carry you to the wheelchair."

[Hehe, I am too considerate. \^O^/]

What? Carry me to the wheelchair, but...

Before Xie Mu had time to shake his head, Chi Qi had already taken action. He put one hand at the bend of his legs and the other hand around his back, hugging him tightly.

The two of them were pressed tightly together, their warm, exposed skin touching each other, and Xie Mu tensed his body uncomfortably.

But Chi Qi obviously overestimated his own strength. Even though he tried his best, he failed to lift Xie Mu up at all. Instead, he lost his balance and fell down, with his whole body falling on Xie Mu.

What’s worse is that Xie Mu groaned softly as he was pressed down by him.

Chi Qi was close and heard it clearly. His cheeks suddenly burned up and he was totally out of control. He apologized in panic: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Are you okay?"

After he finished speaking, he realized that he was still on top of someone, so he quickly got up and stood there at a loss, looking up at the sky and down at the ground but not at Xie Mu, as if this would help him forget the embarrassment that had just occurred.

Xie Mu paused for a moment and looked over. The boy was biting his lower lip nervously, his ears gradually turned red, and his eyes were flashing with helpless shame. He was so listless that he didn't dare to look him in the eye.

With his thin arms and legs, how could the illusion come from that he could move?

Even though he had lost a lot of weight, his physique was still that of an adult male. Xie Mu couldn't understand it and couldn't find the words to praise Chi Qi for a moment.

Although Chi Qi tried hard to escape, he could still feel Xie Mu staring at him, and his burning gaze lingered on his cheek for a long time.

[Why are you staring at me? It's so embarrassing, so embarrassing, so embarrassing. I mean well but end up with bad results. If you don't have the skills, you shouldn't take on such a job. Now, the clown is actually me T_T]

From the corner of his eye, Chi Qi saw Xie Mu ring the bedside bell twice.

Soon, a strong male nurse walked in.

His eyes widened.

[Double...double doors?] 】

The nurse asked directly: "Mr. Xie, do you want me to carry you to the wheelchair?"

Xie Mu nodded in agreement.

The nurse leaned over, carefully picked him up and put him on the wheelchair. The whole process was easy and one could even see his bulging pectoral muscles during the movements.

Chi Qi's eyes widened and his eyeballs were glued to the caregiver.

[Hold me, hug me, I want to be hugged too, Sihasha, I must date someone with a figure like this in the future! 】

Xie Mu: “…”

After Xie Mu sat firmly, he quickly rang the bell and asked the nurse to leave.

Chi Qi reluctantly withdrew his gaze and wiped the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

[I used to think Mr. Xie maintained a good figure, but now with the comparison, I suddenly realize that he is just so-so. 】

Xie Mu: “…”

I was in bed for six months. Did the caregiver also lie in bed for six months?

You are comparing the variables when they are all different. Is that fair to me?

Once the person is in a wheelchair, the next thing will be easy.

Chi Qi pushed the wheelchair to an open space on the first floor and sat in the back seat.

Xie Mu pressed the switch on the armrest, and the wheelchair sped forward at a very fast speed.

The sun was still shining at this moment, and the wind felt warm on his face. Chi Qi had ridden in many means of transportation, but this was his first time in a wheelchair, so the experience was quite amazing.

When he reached the fork in the road, Xie Mu stopped.

Chi Qi guessed that he was asking for his opinion, so he pointed to one side casually and said, "Let's go this way. There's a garden in front, and the scenery is pretty nice."

Xie Mu followed his instructions and was about to cross the garden when he heard a strange man's questioning from the front.

"Why don't you let me save An An? Give me a reason not to give blood."

Familiar taste, familiar recipe.

But in an instant, Chi Qi had already thought of several novel tags: "running with the ball", "dog-blood writing", "amnesia", and "car accident".

He quietly pricked up his ears and chanted in his heart.

[New gossip has emerged, how can we stand still? 】
