Chapter 217 I really didn't mean to
He was silent for a moment before saying, "You can call him that."
"Oh...this name doesn't sound like a boy's name."
"His face was rounder when he was little, so that's what we call him."
Qiao Xing nodded knowingly, but still felt it was a bit hasty. One was named Qin Ce, and the other Qin Yuan. They didn't sound like names given by the same parents.
Neither of them spoke on the way home. Once they got home, Qiao Xing immediately poured him a glass of water and gave him the medicine.
Qin Ce looked at the medicine in his palm, his expression somewhat indescribable.
But Qiao Xing stared intently at him from the side, as if she wouldn't stop until she saw him finish eating.
Qin Ce tried several times, but finally gave up. "I'm suddenly a little hungry."
"Then take your medicine first, and I'll go make you a bowl of noodles."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Qiao Xing was taken aback for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed, "Why are you being so polite?"
With that, she turned and went to the kitchen.
After she went inside, Qin Ce stood up, went to the bathroom, threw the medicine and water in his cup into the toilet, and flushed it down.
Qiao Xing cooked him a bowl of tomato and egg noodles, brought it to the table, and said, "Qin Ce, it's ready, come and eat, then go to bed early."
"good."
"I'm going to take a shower first."
Qiao Xing went back to get her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower by herself.
After all that fuss, it was almost four or five o'clock.
After finishing his meal, Qin Ce went to his study. Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment, then went over and knocked on the door. "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Qin Ce didn't look up, his gaze fixed intently on the computer screen. "I still have some things to do."
Qiao Xing asked again, "How long will it take?"
Qin Ce paused for a moment, then finally looked up at the door.
Qiao Xing stood at the door in her pajamas, a worried expression on her face.
He paused for two seconds, then looked down and used the mouse to shut down the computer. He got up and walked over: "I'm done. Time to sleep."
Qiao Xing nodded, "If you have a cold, you should rest properly. Work is not as important as your health."
Seeing how hard he was working, she felt bad for him. He was working so hard to earn money to support his family.
In contrast, her salary...
She sighed inwardly again.
Qin Ce felt uncomfortable being stared at. He looked at Qiao Xing, then at the bed, and hesitated, "Won't I infect you if I sleep on the bed?"
Qiao Xing pushed him to sit on the bed, "If it were contagious, it would have been contagious by now. You should go to sleep, it's almost five o'clock."
"I haven't taken a shower yet."
"Take a shower tomorrow morning. By the time you're done, it will be daylight. You should rest properly when you're sick, don't do anything unnecessary."
"..."
Left with no other choice, Qin Ce had to take off his coat, but he still couldn't sleep comfortably like that.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and suddenly stood up, saying, "I'll go take a shower before I go to sleep."
Qiao Xing could tell from his reaction that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight without taking a shower, so she stopped pressuring him.
"Oh well……"
Qin Ce turned around and went out to take a bath.
Qiao Xing had just finished showering, and the air conditioning in the room made her feel sleepy. However, thinking about Qin Ce's illness and need for care, she patted her cheeks to wake herself up.
He was gone for about half an hour. Qiao Xing was leaning against the headboard, feeling drowsy, when she heard the door open and immediately woke up.
"Are you done washing?"
Qin Ce nodded, tightened the belt of his robe a little, and then lay down on the bed.
"Okay, let's go to sleep."
Qiao Xing hummed in agreement and turned off the light.
She was thinking about taking care of Qin Ce, but less than a minute after lying in bed, she started dreaming.
In the darkness, hearing the even breathing sounds coming from beside him, Qin Ce gave a bitter smile.
Once she was completely asleep, he lifted the covers, got out of bed, and quietly left.
Qiao Xing woke up the next day at noon.
She vaguely remembered something, suddenly opened her eyes wide, found her phone and glanced at the time.
Qiao Xing turned to look around and, sure enough, it was empty.
She immediately got out of bed, ran to the living room and searched around, this time she went to the kitchen first.
Sure enough, Qin Ce was already cooking.
She patted her forehead, ran over and snatched the spatula from Qin Ce's hand, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, I overslept, let me do it, let me do it."
Qin Ce turned to look at her. "It'll be ready soon. Go on out."
"I...I really didn't mean to."
Qiao Xing really wanted to bang her head against a block of tofu, remembering how Qin Ce had been busy taking care of her when she had a fever.
Now that someone else is sick, she's sleeping like a log. That's just too much.
"Don't do that, I'm fine now, you should go wash up." Qin Ce took the spatula back from her hand.
Qiao Xing still felt a little guilty.
She silently walked out, washed her face in the bathroom, and reflected on herself for a long time.
She didn't come out of the bathroom until Qin Ce knocked on the door.
Seeing her guilty expression, Qin Ce raised his hand to stroke her face and whispered, "What's wrong?"
"I overslept and didn't take care of you."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ce was unsure whether to laugh or blame himself.
"Then let's eat first, and then you can take care of me."
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him. His hands were still so hot that Qiao Xing almost thought he had a fever.
Just as she was about to say something, a cell phone rang inside the room.
Qiao Xing hurriedly ran back to get her phone, then realized she hadn't asked for leave yet. Could it be Bai Yi calling?
She ran inside, picked up her phone, and saw that it wasn't Bai Yi, but there was no need for Bai Yi to put so much pressure on her.
The person making the call was Wang Qin.
Qiao Xing took a deep breath and slid down the answer button, "Hello."
Wang Qin's cautious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Xingxing, did I disturb you?"
"No, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Oh, it's like this, I found a job a few days ago, so that's why I told you about tutoring Xixi..."
Qiao Xing had almost forgotten about it. She glanced at the date on her phone and realized it was already Friday.
"I understand, you can bring it tomorrow."
Wang Qin said, "Is this afternoon okay? I work from this afternoon until nine o'clock at night. I brought her to the factory a couple of days ago, but the supervisor won't allow it today."
Lin Xi is different from normal children, and Wang Qin is worried about leaving her alone at home late at night.
"I'll bring her over after you get off work, so I won't make it inconvenient for you to go to work."
Qiao Xing was silent for a moment, then said, "Just bring it over directly. I'm not at work today."
"Really? That's great! Thank you, Xingxing."
Qiao Xing didn't say anything, but felt that the words "thank you" were ironic.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xing walked out of the room, where Qin Ce was serving rice in the dining room.
She went over and told Qin Ce about it, but Qin Ce didn't react much. "Do you need me to pick you up?"
Hearing his answer, Qiao Xing was touched. She shook her head and said, "No need. You should rest. She will bring it over herself."
Qiao Xing felt that he was a more competent son-in-law than she was as a daughter.
This makes her seem even more cold-blooded, ruthless, and repulsive.
