Qin Mi placed the lunchbox on the table next to the hospital bed and took out several lunchboxes. "Xi, I made you some old hen soup, but I've skimmed off the oil, so the soup is light. You can drink it without worry."
"Thank you, Brother Qin." Wen Xi touched the lunchbox; it was too hot, so she decided to drink it later.
She had no idea how Qin Mi could take out something so hot so easily.
Qin Mi took out several lunch boxes, one containing rice, one containing chicken, one containing vegetables, and one containing only chicken soup. Now that Wenxi needs to supplement her nutrition, she needs a balanced diet of meat and vegetables.
Ignoring the incredulous looks from others, Qin Mi sat down by the hospital bed, picked up the lunchbox, and started to feed Wen Xi. Although the chicken soup was very hot, the food could be eaten first.
Wen Xi was a little embarrassed, her whole face turned red, "Brother Qin, I can do it myself."
Lin Yiwan pulled Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue out of the ward and said, "Xiaoxi needs nutritional supplements to recover. Let's go out and buy some for her!"
Shen Jiaojiao excitedly slapped her forehead, feeling extremely annoyed. "I was in such a hurry to pack my things to visit Xiaoxi at the hospital that I forgot to bring my money and tickets."
"It's okay, we'll go buy them first, and you can give me the money and tickets when we get back," Lin Yiwan said.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue nodded, and then the three of them left the hospital.
In the hospital ward, only Wenxi and Qin Mi remained. Seeing that Qin Mi insisted, Wenxi had no choice but to accept his feeding. She ate all the food Qin Mi fed her, and even finished the chicken soup.
"What do you want to eat tomorrow?" Qin Mi asked.
Wen Xi shook her head shyly, "Brother Qin, no need to trouble yourself, the food at the hospital will do."
She had been in a coma for several days and hadn't eaten a single grain of rice. When she first woke up, she was extremely hungry, so Qin Mi got her food from the hospital cafeteria. Although it wasn't very oily, it was just right for a patient.
"I don't find it troublesome," Qin Mi said earnestly, looking into Wen Xi's eyes.
Wen Xi felt a little embarrassed by Qin Mi's gaze, and avoided looking at him.
By this time, all the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores had long since closed. Lin Yiwan took Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue directly to the black market behind the hospital. It was late at night and they couldn't see clearly, so the three of them didn't disguise themselves at all.
The black market near the hospital has a wide variety of goods, which are also quite expensive, because the main purpose is to make money off the hospital patients. The three of them pooled their money to buy a can of malted milk powder, a two-pound piece of pork, and twenty eggs.
After buying the items, Lin Yiwan came out with two people, arranged for them to wait for her in a certain place, and then left.
When Lin Yiwan returned, she was carrying a bunch of fresh fruits and vegetables, which she had taken directly from her spatial storage, just in time to provide Wenxi with some nutrition.
"Lin Yiwan, how did you manage to buy so many things? Where did you buy them?" Shen Jiaojiao exclaimed in surprise.
"Shh," Lin Yiwan reminded them, "Keep your voice down, let's get back to the hospital quickly!"
"How much did these things cost? We'll pay you back in a bit," Shen Jiaojiao said. Now that she had money, she wasn't stingy.
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Lin Yiwan didn't want to split the cost of vegetables and fruits with them, but she was afraid they would feel uncomfortable, so she agreed to split the cost with them.
Upon arriving at the hospital ward, Lin Yiwan put down her things and said to Qin Mi, "Comrade Qin, the three of us will stay here with Xiaoxi tonight. You should go home and get some rest too! By the way, these are all things we bought for Xiaoxi. Please make arrangements accordingly."
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Qin Mi carried the vegetables and meat away, because these things needed to be cooked when she got back, while the other things only needed to be washed and eaten.
After Qin Mi left, only four young girls remained in the ward. They felt much more at ease, and the air seemed fresher.
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Wen Xi asked, puzzled.
Qin Mi isn't so scary!
“That’s for you,” Jiang Yue said. Qin Mi’s attitude towards them was truly different from his attitude towards Wen Xi; anyone with eyes could see that.
Wen Xi smiled awkwardly, "You've all worked hard, sit down and rest! This bed can't sleep so many people, why don't two of you go and stay at the guesthouse?"
"We came in such a hurry that we didn't even get a letter of introduction. Oh well, let's just sleep here. If Qin Mi can do it, we can do it too," Shen Jiaojiao said.
Wenxi smiled awkwardly. Seeing them sleeping by the bedside at night, Wenxi felt very sorry for them. She decided to make it up to them properly after she was discharged from the hospital and returned home.
Wenxi's wound was slowly healing, which made it particularly itchy, but she didn't tell anyone because she didn't want everyone to worry about her.
The hospital prescribed medicine for Wenxi's wounds, which she applied regularly. The thought of having two unsightly scars on her body made Wenxi feel very distressed.
The next morning, Qin Mi brought breakfast. Wen Xi had vegetable porridge with steamed buns. Qin Mi didn't even dare to give her meat buns because her wounds were healing and she couldn't eat many things.
Qin Mi handed the remaining breakfast to Shen Jiaojiao and the others, saying, "Thank you for taking care of Wenxi last night. I'll take care of her during the day today. You can all go back and rest!"
“Wenxi is our friend, so it’s only right that we take care of her. We even advised you to take care of her. But Comrade Qin, what’s your position or status in driving us away?” Lin Yiwan asked with amusement.
He's acting like he's Wenxi's guardian, but is he really?
"You'll find out later," Qin Mi said with a faint smile.
Shen Jiaojiao glanced at Jiang Yue and said, "Then let's go home first and come back tomorrow."
I feel like I'm in the way here, and it seems like other people don't really welcome me.
Jiang Yue lowered her head and sniffed her clothes, noticing that they did indeed have a smell. She nodded, "Okay, let's go home then!"
The three of them each took two steamed buns, told Wenxi, and left. They were really of no use here; in fact, they made the air in the ward feel stuffy, and they would also get bored because the ward needed a quiet environment.
Qin Mi brought hot water for Wen Xi to wash up. After washing up, Wen Xi took a white steamed bun and tore it apart little by little to eat. Occasionally, she would take a bite of vegetable porridge and then swallow the bun.
Eating only steamed buns really felt dry and choking.
As soon as Lin Yiwan and her two companions returned to the village, they were surrounded by villagers who all asked about Wenxi and whether they could visit her in the hospital.
Lin Yiwan said with a smile, "Thank you all for your concern. Wenxi is fine now. However, the hospital is a quiet place, so please wait until Wenxi is discharged and goes home before visiting her!"
