Chapter 218 Drunkenness: Both Charming and Alluring
Xia Yuhuan rubbed against his chest: "I want to sleep with my husband in my arms. He smells so good, hehe."
Chi Yanzhou listened to her infatuated laughter and felt somewhat amused and exasperated.
He still reached out and hugged her, helping her choose a relatively comfortable sleeping position, gently patting her back to lull her to sleep.
In a daze, Chi Yanzhou thought to himself: How could he have found a wife?
It's obvious that he's just set up a little tyrant for himself.
What's even more terrifying is that he enjoyed it immensely.
The next day, when Xia Yuhuan woke up, her head was still buzzing with pain.
She sat on the bed, holding her head, feeling somewhat dazed.
It has a bit of a sense of déjà vu, like asking "Who am I?", "Where am I?", and "What happened?"
"Awake? Have some hangover soup to sober up."
Chi Yanzhou's voice came from the side.
Xia Yuhuan looked up and saw him sitting by the bed, handing her a bowl of hangover soup.
"Thank you," Xia Yuhuan replied, obediently holding the bowl and drinking the soup.
The slightly warm temperature is just right for drinking; it's drinkable without burning your throat.
The warmth spread as it entered her stomach, making her feel warm all over.
The confusion in my mind seemed to have dissipated considerably.
Xia Yuhuan let out a comfortable sigh.
"This wine is really no good; it will give you a headache if you drink it."
"So, what kind of people like to drink?"
Xia Yuhuan muttered, completely puzzled.
“People who can drink,” Chi Yanzhou said.
"You mean I don't drink alcohol?" Xia Yuhuan frowned, looking unhappy.
Chi Yanzhou: With a drinking capacity of only one cup, she expects him to praise her drinking ability?
Fortunately, Xia Yuhuan wasn't without self-awareness.
As soon as she finished speaking, she was met with a speechless look on Chi Yanzhou's face, followed by a reluctant hum.
"Okay, I admit I'm not a big drinker."
In her previous life, she couldn't drink at all; she was only slightly better than someone who could only drink one cup.
She had hoped that the original owner's body would be more capable.
Unexpectedly, the original owner was even worse than her previous life.
This guy gets drunk after just one drink!
If she ever suggests drinking again, she's a pig!
"It's okay. Not being able to drink isn't shameful. If you can't drink, you won't drink anymore."
Seeing her pouting and looking unhappy, Chi Yanzhou was both amused and exasperated, and gently coaxed her.
"Yes, I won't drink anymore, absolutely not." Xia Yuhuan said firmly.
Seeing her confident demeanor, Chi Yanzhou held back the words that were about to come out.
He originally intended to tell her that she was not allowed to drink alcohol anymore.
But she brought it up herself, and if he brought it up again, he would be being tactless.
"Are you feeling better? Will you be able to go to work today?" Chi Yanzhou asked her.
"Hmm, much better. I feel much better now that the pain has subsided." Xia Yuhuan put down her head, which was rubbing her temples.
"I'll go wash up now."
As Xia Yuhuan spoke, she got up to wash up.
After washing up, she quickly went downstairs to brew the medicine.
The medicine was decocted a little late today, which will definitely delay the time it takes to bring it back to Wang Aiping to drink.
When Zhang Xiaohua came over to get the medicine, she made her apologize to Wang Aiping before leaving to go to work.
When Xia Yuhuan arrived at the military hospital, she first went to check on the patients.
When they found the ward of the patient who had surgery yesterday, they discovered that Chi Jung-ho was there watching over him.
"Sister-in-law." Chi Zhenghao quickly stood up to greet Xia Yuhuan as she entered the room.
"Mm." Xia Yuhuan nodded gently.
Seeing that the patient had woken up, he asked him how he felt after waking up.
"The postoperative reaction is going well. You should rest well, and you'll be fully recovered soon," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Dr. Xia. I didn't expect you to be so young yet so skilled in medicine."
"When I got injured yesterday, I thought I was going to die." His eyes were full of lingering fear.
"You're perfectly fine, so don't overthink it. Get some rest and try to recover as soon as possible," Xia Yuhuan told him.
"Okay, I'll do whatever Dr. Xia says."
After Xia Yuhuan finished asking about the situation, she was about to leave when Chi Zhenghao chased after her.
"Sister-in-law, how is my brother recovering? Will he attend Uncle's birthday banquet in a few days?" Chi Zhenghao asked.
Xia Yuhuan: "He's recovered quite well, he probably won't go to the birthday party."
"Aren't you going?" Chi Zhenghao asked, surprised.
He immediately said, "It's better not to go. My great-uncle's family is all cunning. Going there would just be a matter of dealing with them, and there's really no point in it."
Chi Zhenghao added, "If you're not going, your wife probably won't go either, right?"
Xia Yuhuan nodded upon hearing this: "Yes."
She and Chi Zhenghao didn't have much to say to each other, so she just answered whatever Chi Zhenghao asked.
Having asked all the questions he wanted to ask, Chi Zhenghao felt too embarrassed to keep Xia Yuhuan waiting any longer.
He quickly replied, "I have nothing else to do, sister-in-law, you go ahead and do your work."
"Okay," Xia Yuhuan replied, turning to leave.
Chi Zhenghao watched her figure disappear from sight before turning back to the ward.
On the same day, Chi Yanzhou discovered during his recovery that he could walk without external assistance and could walk very well on his own.
For the first time, he let go of the support and took his first steps on his own.
It moved slowly, but steadily.
My foot hurts a little, but I can bear it.
At that moment, Chi Yanzhou knew that his restoration had made a leap forward.
If he continues to work hard, he should be able to fully recover in a few more days.
That evening, Xia Yuhuan returned home, and Chi Yanzhou barely managed to suppress the urge to tell her the good news.
He wanted to recover quietly and then surprise his wife.
Although in his wife's eyes, he was destined to get better.
However, his wife can't predict exactly when he'll be in good shape, so she can still create a little surprise.
Chi Yanzhou worked silently behind Xia Yuhuan's back, without keeping up with her recovery progress, keeping Xia Yuhuan completely in the dark.
Xia Yuhuan was still a little surprised: "Has your recovery progress not been updated these past few days? According to your recovery speed, you should be almost fully recovered by now, right?"
That day, after Xia Yuhuan finished massaging Chi Yanzhou, she asked him something strange.
Chi Yanzhou's heart skipped a beat, thinking he had been exposed.
He forced a smile, trying to suppress his guilt: "Is it because I recovered quickly before, so it's not as fast now?"
"While it's possible, it's unlikely," Xia Yuhuan said.
She frowned in thought, and Chi Yanzhou quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Okay, stop thinking about it."
"Anyway, recovery is just around the corner, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Xia Yuhuan nodded subconsciously upon hearing this.
She immediately realized: Something's not right. He's always been more anxious than she is about his legs recovering. Why isn't he in a hurry now?
Xia Yuhuan frowned and said, "Tell me honestly, are you lying to me?"
Chi Yanzhou looked completely innocent: "I'd lie to you? Why would I lie to you? There's no benefit in it for me."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan could only softly reply, "Alright then, let's wait a few more days and see."
Chi Yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had no intention of pursuing the matter further.
Just then, the phone rang, and Chi Yanzhou quickly pushed his wheelchair to answer it.
