She felt a little resentful that she was being too sentimental, but that was Qiao Muting!

Especially when she thinks of his broken, sickly "beauty" appearance, her heart clenches.

What a terrible thing to do! Qian Lai!

What a terrible thing, Qiao Muting!

Those peach blossom eyes with under-eye bags are indeed extraordinary.

Even a seasoned and victorious general like himself could not possibly be captivated by his gentle gaze.

Qian Lai stood downstairs for a long, long time, holding an open bottle of soda.

She took one step forward, then two steps back. Hesitant, she didn't know how to face him after going upstairs.

Her repeated shifting movements downstairs were witnessed by Qiao Muting upstairs.

In his eyes, this might be the little girl's shyness, innocence, and cuteness.

Or perhaps, she's thinking of a suitable reason to reject him?

Qiao Muting felt even more uneasy than the other person.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she entered the building with her soda in hand.

Qiao Muting quickly returned to the hospital bed with the IV drip still in his hand. The sudden movement aggravated the pain in his back wound.

He didn't care, and lay back on his pillow, pretending nothing had happened.

Just then, the ward door was pushed open, and he looked up with a smile, only to find two elderly people walking in one after the other.

"Hello, we are in bed number one."

The elderly couple greeted him warmly.

The old man appeared to have injured his wrist, as it was in a cast.

His wife struggled to hold the IV drip bottle high, gently supporting him with her other hand as they slowly made their way towards the hospital bed.

The old gentleman seemed to have some difficulty walking, as he moved very slowly. But his wife had a smile on her face and showed no impatience, urging him as they walked, "Don't rush, take your time."

"Hello."

Looking at the two old people, Qiao Muting began to daydream.

If I get old, will she be the one by my side?

Would she be so patient and not mind that she walks slowly?

She definitely will!

Thinking of this, he unconsciously grinned.

"What are you laughing at?"

When did she come in? He didn't even notice.

"These are the uncle and aunt in our ward. Look at them, an elderly couple, how enviable!"

Qian Lai then noticed the two elderly people in the next bed and greeted them with a smile: "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."

The woman's expression changed. She poured water for the old man, handed it to him, and then poured the pills into his hand, saying softly, "We... are not husband and wife."

ah? !
