Chapter 128 Rock Sugar Snow Pear
The ward fell into silence.
Qiao Xu lay on his side, quietly looking at the profile of the person in front of him.
There was a hint of frailty in her profile, and her skin seemed to be covered with a thin layer of paper, looking pale and weak, yet still unable to conceal her beauty.
As Qiao Xu watched, his thoughts drifted away unconsciously. The dazzling image of her on the stage when he first met her flashed through his mind. At that time, all the lights were focused on her, and she was full of liveliness and vitality, which was in sharp contrast to her sickly appearance at this moment.
Qiao Xu felt mixed emotions, heartbroken and unwilling.
He also knew what Chu Mingzhou had done. Tang Jingqiao cried and said that Chu Mingzhou did it for the sake of face.
But Qiao Xu didn't believe it.
Chu Mingzhou's eyes would light up when he looked at Lin Anan, and that was clearly his love for his lover, not just perfunctory.
Because of the divorce application, Chu Mingzhou even offended his immediate superior.
Is this just for fame?
Qiao Xu gently closed his eyes, trying to shut out all those messy thoughts. But as soon as he opened his eyes, Lin Anan's weak appearance rushed straight into his eyes, making him feel even more uncomfortable.
He knew that he had special feelings for Lin Anan, but it was too late...
At this time, the nurse entered the ward, broke the silence, and began to check on the patients one by one.
He walked to Qiao Xu's bed, pulled the curtain, and ordered, "Take off your pants. It's time for an injection."
Just a few words resolved all the sadness in Qiao Xu's heart!
Qiao Xu: “…”
Lin Anan was a light sleeper to begin with, and she found Qiao Xu's humming somewhat funny.
Are grown men afraid of injections?
It's not even as good as the hair of my man.
After the nurse finished the injection, she saw Lin Anan woke up and smiled: "Comrade Lin, do you still feel uncomfortable?"
Lin Anan shook her head slightly: "It's not as uncomfortable as before." Her voice was soft and weak.
"You'll have to wait two days to heal your cough. Doctor Liang just gave you some cough medicine. I'll bring it to you later. You need to eat a lighter diet these few days."
After saying that, the nurse turned to look at Qiao Xu again and frowned: "Comrade Qiao, your temperature is still a little high. You need to pay more attention to rest."
Qiao Xu responded casually and looked at Lin Anan again.
Chu Mingzhou just came back and was annoyed by the sight of him looking like a pervert. He took two steps forward and closed the curtain again.
Then he nodded to the nurse and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Captain Chu, you're too polite."
After the nurse left, Chu Mingzhou sat beside Lin Anan's bed, gently held her hand, his eyes full of concern.
Lin Anan looked at his frown and raised her hand.
Chu Mingzhou was stunned for a moment, then when he understood what she meant, he quickly moved his face closer.
Lin Anan's fingertips landed right on the center of his brows and she rubbed them gently. "I'm sorry for making you worry. It's all my fault for not being in good health."
"Don't talk nonsense. Your early recovery is more important than anything else."
Qiao Xu paused in pulling the curtain...
It’s painful just to listen to it, how can I watch it?
My heart felt like it was blocked by something and I felt extremely uncomfortable.
He turned his back silently without making any sound.
Aunt Chu came here with Lin Zihuai.
"An'an, how are you? Are you feeling better? Didn't you say you wanted to eat snow pear stewed with rock sugar? My aunt brought it to you. It's just right for you to eat now. Snow pear can relieve cough..."
Aunt Chu kept chattering and sent Chu Mingzhou to have lunch, while she sat down to feed Lin Anan.
The pear soup tasted slightly sweet and had just the right temperature. Lin Anan felt completely relaxed.
Aunt Chu looked at her from the side, her face full of love, "Drink slowly, don't choke. When you get better, I'll make you something else delicious."
"Okay, thank you, aunt."
At this time, two people came in at the door of the ward.
"Qiao Xu, look what delicious food I brought you..."
The people who came were Tang Jingqiao and Mu Youwei.
Lin Anan's face immediately darkened.
Aunt Chu followed her gaze and a hint of discomfort flashed across her eyes, but she finally nodded to Tang Jingqiao.
The previous familiarity was completely gone, and only the most superficial politeness was maintained.
Between Lin Anan and Tang Jingqiao, Aunt Chu naturally knew how to choose.
It’s just that Tang Jingqiao had done her a favor, and she couldn’t turn her back on her.
Tang Jingqiao had never expected to see Lin Anan here! She paused for a moment, a trace of disgust flashing across her face, but she didn't talk to Lin Anan this time, and walked directly towards Qiao Xu.
Mu Youwei nodded to Lin Anan, "Comrade Lin, what a coincidence!" He shook the lunch box in his hand and said, "Let's bring lunch to Qiao Xu."
"Um."
Lin Anan didn't want to ask about their affairs. After drinking the pear soup, she leaned back and continued to rest.
Tang Jingqiao walked to Qiao Xu's bedside and laid out the lunch boxes she had brought one by one. There were hot soup and stir-fried dishes, which looked quite rich.
As she was doing this, she kept muttering, "I told you I would arrange a private room for you, but you insisted on not using it. Now that's it, isn't it?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
"What nonsense am I talking about? Are you still very happy?"
Qiao Xu frowned irritably as if his secrets had been exposed. "If you can't speak, just shut up!"
Tang Jingqiao rolled her eyes, sat down on the edge of the bed, too lazy to talk, and glared at Lin Anan hatefully.
Chu Mingzhou's warning was still fresh in her mind, so Tang Jingqiao didn't dare to do anything.
She wanted to ignore Lin Anan and control her temper, but the attitudes of these men...one or two of them made her very angry.
The disgust towards Lin Anan was rising and could not be suppressed!
Mu Youwei noticed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he quickly started to smooth things over, chatting with Aunt Chu from time to time, talking about trivial family matters.
"Xiao Mu, you and our Zi Huai are about the same age, and you are both in the art troupe. You seem to be destined to be together."
Aunt Chu's unintentional words actually aroused Mu Youwei's interest.
"Yes, I am older than Comrade Lin, but he is very talented and I admire him very much."
Tang Jingqiao laughed out loud, "Youwei, you are too modest. Lin Zihuai is just a new recruit who happens to be able to play a musical instrument. My aunt has little contact with the art troupe, so don't lie to her."
Chu Mingzhou and Lin Zihuai came back from dinner and as soon as they entered the ward, they heard Tang Jingqiao's sarcastic sarcasm.
Lin Zihuai's eyes paused on Mu Youwei, and he felt angry and embarrassed.
Aunt Chu was slightly startled, then immediately reacted, narrowed her eyes slightly, and reached out to pull Lin Zihuai over, "Yes, I am indeed an old woman with little experience, but I know our Zihuai's strengths and weaknesses. He is not only good-looking, but also hardworking, sensible, and versatile. He is very capable, no worse than anyone else."
Lin Zihuai felt warm in his heart and looked at Aunt Chu gratefully, "Aunt is right!"
Chu Mingzhou took a step forward, bent down and touched Lin Anan's forehead, without even glancing at Tang Jingqiao, "Let's change the ward."
Tang Jingqiao was choked and speechless, her face turned red and white...
Mu Youwei looked around and quickly said with a smile, "Comrade Tang is a straightforward person and doesn't hold back when he speaks. Comrade Lin, please don't mind."
