A brief note on this novel: It will be V-listed on September 15th, starting from chapter 16! Friends who ha...
Chapter 15 15. Taking a Bath Oh my god, I can see everything.
After inserting the IV, the nurse tucked in the quilt for Mi Yanyan.
"Girl, the ward is very crowded recently, and the nurse can only be arranged tomorrow morning at the earliest," she kindly reminded when she saw that the person on the bed was not prepared at all.
"If all else fails, order takeout first. There are supermarkets nearby where you can get all the basic necessities."
Mi Yanyan thanked him and opened the app. The small words on the screen rushed into her eyes, and she felt slightly dizzy. She endured the nausea and quickly bought the necessary supplies. Seeing that several buckets of drinking water were too heavy, she added another hundred yuan as a tip and noted that she asked the rider to help deliver it to the ward.
After a few rounds of infusion, the anesthetic gradually wore off and my whole leg began to swell and ache.
The food at the hospital was average, and after eating, I had to get out of bed to throw away the food, which made walking incredibly difficult. After finally getting back to bed, I was drenched in sweat, all clinging to my hospital gown.
When I opened my phone, there was no movement in the dialog box, and Shi Jingzhou's name seemed like a decoration.
He gave her the space she wanted.
The one-bedroom apartment, with its own bathroom, was filled with the smell of disinfectant, reminding her of the kittens and puppies locked in their care cages after surgery, staring helplessly at the door. The screen light dimmed, revealing her face, pale and exhausted. She buried herself in her pillow, feeling sick all over, her hair disheveled, and too embarrassed to face herself.
There was a knock on the door. Mi Yanyan stood up slightly and a man in a yellow hat poked his head in.
"The takeaway has arrived." said the person outside the door.
"Could you please help me get it in?"
Two large bags of things were placed on the ground. The delivery boy went out and came back. "Girl, can I help you get the water? Is there anything you want me to take down?"
Mi Yanyan's eyes suddenly became warm. She took the mineral water and placed it beside the bed, then watched her brother leave with the garbage bag.
The reason she agreed to this marriage was, firstly, that her grandfather recommended Shi Jingzhou with all his heart and high hopes, and secondly, that she really wanted to escape from her parents.
Zhang Qiaoshu had arranged no fewer than ten blind dates for her, all of them open and honest, with clear prices. It was only by sheer coincidence that this time, the man sitting opposite her made no demands, simply saying, "I don't care about you," that she agreed.
The marriage certificate photo was taken at a last-minute location, taking less than ten minutes. All the formalities and etiquette were omitted. Shi Jingzhou completely adhered to the highest level of indifference from beginning to end. So much so that after living together, any excessive contact between them made her feel uncomfortable and instinctively wanted to avoid it.
It was a fact that he didn't love her, and so did she.
Without love as a prerequisite, everything felt awkward under the guise of marriage. They say being hospitalized alone is a level ten loneliness. As the night grew dark, she first considered quitting. Then she thought of the medical report on her phone, and all those thoughts drifted into her dreams.
Coming out of the lab, Shi Jingzhou saw Secretary Zhou hesitated to speak, "If you have something to say, just tell me."
"Mr. Shi, Aunt Chen said my wife has gone back to her parents' home." After Ruisi acquired Hongen Bio, it expanded its platform biology R&D capabilities and scale, and the new base went into operation, to which Shi Jingzhou and Shi Zekai were both transferred. Despite the heavy workload, Secretary Zhou thought carefully before reporting the truth.
After just a few words of quarrel, the person ran away. Shi Jingzhou sighed and transferred money to Ye Jinhe.
The other party immediately accepted it and replied with a smile: "Brother, what are your instructions?"
Soon I received six words: [Ask your sister-in-law to go shopping.]
After Ye Jinhe retrieved the medical examination report from the machine, he called Mi Yanyan. Before he could say a few words, he heard someone shouting on the other end.
"Bed 21, Mi Yanyan, are you still dizzy today?"
Before she could finish listening, the call was suddenly hung up. She suddenly remembered the figure she saw when she passed by the emergency room yesterday, and she was so scared that she dropped her phone to the ground.

Shi Zekai saw Secretary Zhou appear alone at the R&D center and asked, "Where is Shi Jingzhou?"
When he first heard his subordinates report that Shi Jingzhou had booked a private jet back home, he didn't believe it. This was a critical juncture for Ruisi's transformation and upgrade, and the old man had repeatedly warned against taking things lightly. He was unaccustomed to someone who had always fought him to the death suddenly quit, and he felt inexplicably tricked.
"Mrs. Shi was injured. It happened suddenly. Please forgive me." Zhou Shu said truthfully.
Shi Zekai put his hands behind his back and asked politely, "Is my sister-in-law seriously injured?"
"It's not serious. Thank you for your concern on behalf of Mr. Shi."
Zhou Shu said to keep half and half, he smiled and didn't ask any further questions.
When the old man arranged for him to meet Mi Yanyan, he didn't think it was a good match. After a quick meeting, nothing came of it. Then, he received word from home that the marriage was settled, but the groom was changed to Shi Jingzhou.
He felt the same way when he heard the news, and was used to his cousin's bandit logic. Shi Jingzhou was eager to take on anyone who came into contact with the Shi family, even women.
He gave up the project and hurried back to South City. Shi Jingzhou's behavior was very abnormal. He shook his head. This daughter of the Mi family was more interesting than he thought.
Shi Jingzhou arrived at the hospital on the morning of the third day. When he pushed the door open, he saw a nurse helping the person on the bed to sit in a wheelchair. The person's body, wrapped in a hospital gown, was so thin that the wind could blow him away. There were scratches on his hands and face that were bleeding faintly, and the wound on his foot was even more shocking.
It hurts just looking at it.
Following the movement at the door, Mi Yanyan looked up. She wasn't surprised. Ye Jinhe had been with her all day, chatting her up, but she hadn't expected Shi Jingzhou to arrive in South City so soon. She'd assumed it would take at least two days. Guilty, she smoothed her hair and squeezed out a few words, "You're here."
"Where are you going?" Shi Jingzhou didn't look like a newcomer at all. He rushed into the ward with his imposing manner.
After not seeing each other for a few days, the feeling of strangeness came back again. The nurse hurriedly replied, "Recheck the CT scan." It was unclear what the relationship between the two was. They looked like a couple, but not like one. The girl never mentioned whether she was married or not.
If we really get married, this husband is really terrible. He only comes now.
"Hold me." Shi Jingzhou suddenly spoke.
Mi Yanyan looked up, bewildered, "Huh?"
A few noises in the hallway couldn't mask the two words he had just heard. The curtains were half-open, letting the morning light shine onto his face. He leaned closer, wrapped his arms around her waist, and lifted her up. The scent of amber that hit her face made her heart flutter. She slipped her arm around his neck, and he was held securely in Shi Jingzhou's arms as they walked out.
The nurse understood and smacked his lips, realizing that they were really a couple.
After the examination, the two returned to the ward. Shi Jingzhou dragged a stool and sat beside the bed, asking, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"No, it's just a routine check-up." She fell and had a concussion. She had headaches for the past two days. The doctor was worried about delayed bleeding, so she didn't dare to tell him these things. She shook her head and felt much better today.
Shi Jingzhou said nothing. He stood up and pulled back the blanket, startling her so much that she shrank back, her calf being pulled, revealing her hideous scar before him. He had already inquired about the accident and consulted the doctor before coming, but even seeing her face to face, he still frowned.
Feeling the strength in her legs gradually loosen, Mi Yanyan defended herself, "It's inevitable to fall when riding a motorcycle. It's a small probability event."
At this moment, she was a little afraid of Shi Jingzhou. She was staying in the ordinary ward of Mingyuan because she didn't want the two families to know. She had finally managed to calm Ye Jinhe down, and now she had to persuade him again with great earnestness.
I pray that he won’t tell me not to ride a motorcycle anymore, let alone inform the elders.
As Jingzhou closed the quilt, he stared at Mi Yanyan. She had a furtive look in her eyes, like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being called by her parents. She was so thin that her eyes looked big. She pouted and didn't dare look at him. The anger in her heart instantly subsided.
He pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Go slower next time."
Surprisingly, she didn't give up. Mi Yanyan smiled for once and replied flatteringly, "I will, I will." After that, she looked around and saw that the nurse's luggage was not by the bedside. She poked her head out the door and muttered, "Where is Sister Zheng?"
"Let her go."
"Why?" She stared at Shi Jingzhou with wide eyes, "I need to take a shower and wash my hair. If I take her away, I won't be able to do it myself."
The slender figure was still standing there, with two shirt buttons loosened and cuffs rolled up. He raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "I'll do it." After saying that, he walked up to her and carried her to the bathroom without saying anything.
Sitting on the small stool, she blushed and pushed Shi Jingzhou, "It's not good, I can't wash with my clothes on, we..."
The water was rushing, and he twisted the towel without moving it. He turned his head again and said, "What's wrong? How about I call your mom?"
"Forget it." Mi Yanyan gave up instantly.
"Take off your clothes."
"oh."
She struggled to unbutton her shirt, luckily revealing a small camisole underneath. Normally, when she went out, she didn't wear as much as she did now, but even now, in the ward bathroom, the change of location made things seem a bit strange.
The steaming towel was thrown into the basin, and Shi Jingzhou turned around holding it. She was wearing only a suspender on her snow-white skin. It was thin enough to be translucent, and it was neither too big nor too small and stuck on her waist. It had a bra pad and nothing else inside. She bought it on the fly from a food delivery platform, and the size was too small, making her attempts to cover herself up even more obvious.
"Turn around." He coughed lightly and picked up the towel.
A scorching, wet sensation brushed gently against her body, and Mi Yanyan felt as if she were suffocating. Heat mixed with moisture at her neck, and she couldn't tell if it was water vapor or her breath. It moved from her head down, stopping suddenly at her waist. She turned sideways to look in the mirror, where Shi Jingzhou was leaning over her tattoo.
"It's a kite," she explained, her muscles tense to prevent him from staring. Her rough fingertips traced each line, as if transferring her pattern to his palm. Before she could see the whole thing, she felt her pants being pushed down at the waist. She cautiously tried to press Shi Jingzhou's hand, but it was held back again. Only when the entire pattern appeared before her eyes did she stop.
"Are you a wrinkle?" He asked her in a lowered voice.
Mi Yanyan was stunned. "How is it possible? It was a girl's tattoo."
The overwhelming force finally subsided, and Shi Jingzhou went to change his towel as if no one was around, as if nothing had happened.
She didn't feel so comfortable when she turned over, and reached out to ask him for a towel, "I'll do it myself, you go out." Her rosy cheeks were slightly sweaty, and her wet hair fell on her collarbone. She bit her lip and looked at him pitifully.
Mi Yanyan tied up her hair and saw that his face was red from neck to ears. She said evasively, "Well, let's not wash our hair today. Let's finish it quickly. It's so hot in there." The faucet in the sink was like a fountain, splashing Shi Jingzhou's white shirt. He didn't avoid it. After washing the towel several times, he was even wetter than herself.
The clothes stick to the body, and the shape of the chest and abdominal muscles are highlighted, all of which hit the eyes.
What a great figure! She couldn't help but take a few more glances. Then she realized something was wrong, so she quickly stopped him and yelled, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"
Shi Jingzhou suddenly began to unbutton his clothes. With two fingers, he opened all the buttons. He pulled out the hem of his clothes, took them off and threw them into the basin, then started to unbuckle his belt.
Snap, pull it out, and wrap it around your hand.
"This is in the hospital, and I'm injured and it's inconvenient," Mi Yanyan covered her eyes and peeked through her fingers, "No, don't even think about it."
Shi Jingzhou grabbed the bath towel from his bag, wrapped Mi Yanyan in it, held her head down and turned to face the door.
"Sit still, I want to take a shower."
Mi Yanyan's eyes darkened, and she didn't dare to look back. "Let's talk about it, okay? Can you carry me out first?"
"You don't have to look at it."
The sound of water could be heard, and she caught a glimpse of the mirror out of the corner of her eye.
Oh my goodness, the all-seeing.
