Chapter 38: Men, just coax them
Xu Qingwu fell asleep again.
Cen Xihuai maintained the posture of supporting her without moving.
There were several holes on her hand where she was getting an IV drip. It looked like the blood vessels were too thin and were punctured incorrectly. The back of her hand was slightly swollen. He raised his hand and turned the small roller to slow down the infusion speed.
Cen Xihuai had always had a nanny at home since he was a child, so he had almost no experience in taking care of others. After doing all these things naturally, he found that it seemed too easy for him.
However, taking care of his wife is a husband's duty, and other couples should get along in the same way.
His behavior is normal.
It's all what should be done.
His gaze naturally fell on Xu Qingwu's face. There was a small, light-colored, inconspicuous mole under her eyelid.
He remembered that Cen Yue also had a mole in the same position, but it was darker than hers. His sister-in-law said that the mole in this position is called a tear mole, and children with tear moles tend to cry. Cen Yue did like to cry, so did she too?
It seemed that she was more likely to cry only when she was fulfilling her duties as a couple, and she couldn't bear even a little bit more. She was more delicate than usual.
His thoughts had strayed too far, and Cen Xihuai forced himself to stop thinking about it so as not to offend his newlywed wife too much.
Xu Qingwu was awakened by the wailing of the child next to her, and when she opened her eyes she saw Cen Xihuai.
It turns out it wasn’t a dream.
Cen Xihuai withdrew his hand without leaving a trace and gently moved his almost stiff shoulders.
"Awake, feeling better?"
"Well, why are you here?"
"The meeting is over."
Cen Xihuai didn't mention what Chen Ze had scolded him about, and called Xie Ying directly. Soon someone arranged for Xu Qingwu to go to the VIP ward.
Xu Qingwu was worried about Shen Ze: "I want to go find my brother first, he has a stomachache."
Cen Xihuai held the IV drip for her, but after just a few steps, Xu Qingwu bent over in pain.
"Take it yourself."
Xu Qingwu took the IV drip handed to her by Cen Xihuai, and he leaned over and picked her up horizontally, striding towards the ward.
There were many people coming and going, and Xu Qingwu felt a little embarrassed: "Put me down, I can walk by myself."
Cen Xihuai ignored her and just held her hand tighter.
After putting Xu Qingwu on the bed, Cen Xihuai went out to handle the hospitalization procedures. Zhou Zhou came to the emergency room to look for her but couldn't find her. After making a phone call, he learned that Xu Qingwu had gone to the inpatient department upstairs.
When Zhou Zhou came over, Xu Qingwu was sitting on the toilet with diarrhea.
Seeing her coming out with a hunched body, he hurried over to help her. One hand was one step ahead of him to hold her firmly, then he carried her directly to the bed and put her down.
Cen Xihuai thanked him politely: "Thank you, Dr. Zhou, for taking care of my wife."
"You're welcome, we're all friends!" Zhou Zhou winked at Xu Qingwu lying on the bed. "Your husband will be with you. I'll be back at the department now. Call me if you need anything."
Xu Qingwu nodded: "Thank you."
Zhou Zhou secretly made a gesture to her to check his phone. Seeing Xu Qingwu understood the signal and picked up the phone, he said hello to Cen Xihuai and left the ward.
Xu Qingwu received a message from Zhou Zhou on her phone: Qingwu, when I went to the Department of Gastroenterology to get some information, I seemed to hear your brother scolding your husband.
Xu Qingwu was so shocked that he sat up straight: What are you scolding?
Zhou Zhou repeated Shen Ze's original words, and Xu Qingwu almost blacked out after reading them.
Seeing that she looked bad, Cen Xihuai asked, "Does it hurt a lot? Do you want to call a doctor?"
Xu Qingwu shook her head. The doctor had said before that pain was normal and it might last for three to five days.
"Did my brother say something about you?" Xu Qingwu tugged at the quilt with her fingers. "I'm sorry, it's my problem and has nothing to do with you. My brother is just too concerned..."
"fine."
Cen Xihuai's tone was indifferent, and his expression was no different from usual, but Xu Qingwu had an inexplicable feeling that he seemed a little angry.
"Are you angry?"
"No."
Cen Xihuai leaned over, and Xu Qingwu subconsciously held her breath. Cen Xihuai didn't look at her and pressed the call bell.
When Xu Qingwu saw the nurse come in to change the dressing, she realized that the IV bottle was empty.
Cen Xihuai was a man of few words, and Xu Qingwu couldn't figure out his emotions. The superior single room was really too quiet.
Xu Qingwu made small talk and asked him, "Do you want to watch TV?"
Cen Xihuai didn't answer and handed the remote control to her.
Xu Qingwu turned on the TV. There were more noises in the ward, but the atmosphere was still terribly cold.
Xu Qingwu absentmindedly changed channels, not knowing what to do.
Just then her cell phone vibrated. It was Chen Ze calling. She answered and called out, "Brother."
"I'm in the hospital, in the ward."
"Ward number? Let me ask..."
Xu Qingwu raised her eyes to look at Cen Xihuai. Seeing that Cen Xihuai didn't say anything, Xu Qingwu had no choice but to pull his sleeve and ask, "What's the ward number?"
Cen Xihuai then replied: "609."
Xu Qingwu told Shen Ze that not long after he hung up the phone, Shen Ze and Le Jia came over.
Cen Xihuai greeted them politely, but Chen Ze ignored him. Le Jia, sandwiched in the middle, smiled at Cen Xihuai a little embarrassedly.
"elder brother!"
Xu Qingwu's pleading voice unconsciously carried a hint of coquettishness, and Shen Ze then pretended to have just seen Cen Xihuai: "Oh, so Mr. Cen is here."
"I'm late, sorry."
"After all, Mr. Cen is very busy, so it's normal."
People have always been afraid of Cen Xihuai. When had anyone ever slandered him in front of him like this, and he was the culprit? Xu Qingwu really couldn't stand it.
"Brother, stop bullying my husband."
Just at this moment, the TV went out.
For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the ward.
Cen Xihuai's gaze seemed to have substance. After realizing what she had blurted out, Xu Qingwu's face instantly became hot, and the blush slowly spread from her cheeks to the tips of her ears.
Le Jia laughed at her: "Sister Qingwu is worried about her husband. Don't blame him now that everyone is here."
Chen Ze looked unhappy but didn't continue to attack. Xu Qingwu asked him, "Brother, how is your stomach? What did the doctor say?"
Shen Ze: "I can't die."
Le Jia patted Chen Ze and said to her, "Your brother is fine, just take some medicine."
Xu Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Shen Ze's expression softened and he asked her, "Does your stomach still hurt? Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?"
After hearing this, Xu Qingwu actually felt a little hungry. Just as she was about to speak, Cen Xihuai, who had been silent the entire time, spoke first: "The doctor said I have to fast today."
Xu Qingwu smiled bitterly: "I'm fine, brother, you and sister-in-law can go back and rest first."
Even though it was awkward facing Cen Xihuai, it was still better than facing four people...
"By the way, brother, don't tell my parents about my illness. I'm afraid they'll worry."
"If you're worried about your elders, take good care of yourself."
Xu Qingwu nodded repeatedly: "You guys go back quickly."
After Shen Ze took Le Jia away, the ward returned to the awkward situation between the two of them.
"My brother is too worried about me. Don't take what he says to heart."
"fine."
Well, Xu Qingwu didn’t know what to say.
Cen Xihuai suddenly asked her: "I want to go out for a while, can I do it alone?"
Xu Qingwu nodded without hesitation: "Okay."
Looking as if he wished he wasn't here, Cen Xihuai pursed his lips, pushed open the door of the ward and walked out.
Xu Qingwu completely relaxed.
She took out her phone and sent a message to the three of them for help: SOS! I didn’t tell Cen Xihuai that I was sick, and my brother saw me. He scolded him and seemed angry, but he didn’t say anything when I asked him. What should I do?
Cen Yue: Are you sick?
Xia Xiaoxiao: What disease?
Sisters still focus on the key points. Xu Qingwu replied: It’s just gastroenteritis. What’s more important now is Cen Xihuai. I’m almost frozen to death by the cold air.
Xia Xiaoxiao: As for men, just coax them.
Xu Qingwu: How to coax her?
Xia Xiaoxiao: @Cen Yue
Cen Yue: I have never coaxed anyone. Usually I am the one who is coaxed.
Xia Xiaoxiao: Otherwise, just act like a spoiled child. You are familiar with this. @岑玥
Cen Yue: This is not easy. If I keep calling him husband, brother and baby, how can I catch him as a black carp?
Xu Qingwu: ...Is it possible?
Cen Yue: It will work, why don’t you just try it?
