When Zhou Yanchen saw the drop of crystal tears on the back of his hand, his eyes became hot and a sour feeling instantly surged in his head.
Why is she crying?
"Xiao Li, are you okay? Are you feeling too uncomfortable?"
Shen Qingli didn't go home, but she seemed to be muttering something.
Zhou Yanchen didn't hear clearly, he subconsciously lowered his head and moved closer to her lips.
"Zhou Yanchen, you bastard."
"You're a big asshole."
The somewhat weak but angry accusation struck his soul word by word.
Zhou Yanchen sighed softly, Shen Qingli, how deeply did I hurt you before that you didn't forget to scold me even when you were dizzy with a high fever.
His eyes were full of regret and self-blame, as if he could see his reckless and confused self in the past who had pushed their relationship to the abyss with his own hands.
"Xiao Li, I'm sorry, I'm a bastard." There was a hint of sob in his voice.
His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the day when they got their marriage certificate. If he could go back to that moment, he would never leave her without explaining anything to her.
He thought of his two children in a foreign country. In fact, he was not having an easy time either.
It's not that I don't want to contact her, but I'm occupied by an inexplicable fear deep inside.
When he learned from others that Shen Qingli was going to divorce him, his world seemed to collapse in an instant.
The fear of being rejected and facing reality made him dare not call her, let alone appear in front of her.
The day he decided to come back, he actually wanted to get along well with her.
But when he came back, he received a divorce agreement from her, and then saw her with Jiang Yubai.
At that moment, he felt a mixture of jealousy, anger, and disappointment.
Later, he proposed divorce after being together. Shen Qingli would refuse, but she agreed.
At that moment, he was somewhat disappointed. It turned out that she was willing to sacrifice herself in order to divorce him.
After they were really together, when he found out it was still her virgin, the pain and sadness overwhelmed him like a tide.
He knew very well that the harm he had brought to her was much deeper than he had imagined.
Zhou Yanchen lowered his head and gave her a light kiss on the forehead. The kiss was very light, for fear of disturbing her.
He closed his eyes, a tear slid down the corner of his eye and fell on Shen Qingli's face.
Xiao Li, it seems like all your sufferings are brought to you by me.
I know I have brought you a lot of trouble, but I really don't want to lose you again.
Even if we continue to be together like this for the rest of our lives, I will still be happy.
Shen Qingli kept having a fever again and again. In the middle of the night, Zhou Yanchen had no choice but to call the family doctor at the old house to come over.
The doctor took Shen Qingli's pulse and put her on an IV drip. "Master, Doctor Shen, she's fine. She'll be fine after two days of rest."
After hearing the doctor's words, Zhou Yanchen finally let go of his anxiety, "Okay, thank you for your help."
The doctor waited until Shen Qingli finished the drip before leaving.
Zhou Yanchen watched Shen Qingli's complexion gradually return to normal, and only then did he let go completely.
The two children were relatively well behaved last night and did not wake up to bother him in the middle of the night, allowing him to devote all his energy to taking care of Shen Qingli.
Zhou Yanchen sat by the bed and looked at her like this, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.
The next day, Shen Qingli moved her eyelids, and after a few seconds, she slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was Zhou Yanchen's handsome face.
Why was he in her room?
Why does he keep holding her hand?
Shen Qingli pulled her hand away from his, and this movement woke Zhou Yanchen up.
Seeing Shen Qingli looking at him, he immediately asked, "You're awake, do you still feel uncomfortable?"
"Why are you in my room?" Shen Qingli only cared about this question, with a hint of vigilance in his voice.
"I noticed something was wrong with you last night, and wondered if you were sick. I knocked on the door, but you didn't answer. When I came in, I found that you had a fever." Zhou Yanchen explained patiently.
"Even after taking the antipyretic, you still had a fever coming back again and again. I asked the doctor at the old house to come over and give you an IV drip."
"How do you feel now?"
Shen Qingli pulled the quilt over her chest and said, "I'm fine, thank you."
She paused and asked, "Where are the children? Did they quarrel last night?"
Zhou Yanchen shook his head, a gentle smile on his face: "They were very well behaved last night and didn't quarrel."
"Okay." Shen Qingli took the mobile phone beside him and checked the time. It was almost eight o'clock.
"Zhou Yanchen, why did you turn off my alarm? I'm almost late." There was a hint of anxiety in her voice as she threw back the quilt and got out of bed.
At this moment, she realized that the pajamas she was wearing were not the same ones she wore last night.
"Zhou Yanchen, you...what's wrong with my pajamas?" Her face turned red instantly, and her eyes were full of surprise and shyness.
"I changed it." Zhou Yanchen answered frankly.
After hearing Zhou Yanchen's answer, Shen Qingli's face immediately turned redder, "How can you change my clothes?"
She felt embarrassed and distressed. Why didn't she wake up last night?
It's really strange.
"You were so delirious from the fever that I couldn't wake you up. You were sweating so much, could I let you wear those wet clothes?"
After Zhou Yanchen finished speaking, he suddenly approached her and asked with a hint of teasing, "Are you shy?"
"Get out." Shen Qingli looked at him angrily.
No one would believe what he said.
"Don't be so fierce, I promise I didn't see anything." Zhou Yanchen said with a smile, his eyes full of doting.
Shen Qingli looked at him angrily, "You go away, I'm going to change my clothes and go to work."
Zhou Yanchen frowned slightly, with a worried look on his face: "You are sick, you still want to go to work? Are you going to infect others?"
Shen Qingli rolled her eyes at him and said, "The department is very busy today, so there's not much time. I can't delay my work because I'm sick."
"Everyone is working so hard, I can't cause trouble for my colleagues."
"But your body..." Zhou Yanchen wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted by Shen Qingli.
"I'm fine. I took some medicine and had an IV drip. I'm feeling much better now."
"That child..."
"I'll take care of the child. I've made some porridge. You can have some before you go."
"If you feel uncomfortable, call me."
"Our family doesn't need you..."
Zhou Yanchen realized that Shen Qingli would definitely get angry if he said this, so he shut up.
Shen Qingli packed up as quickly as possible. When she was ready to leave, Zhou Yanchen handed her a thermos box and said, "I know you're in a hurry. Take it and eat it on the way."
"Chang You is waiting for you downstairs, don't be too anxious."
Shen Qingli looked at the insulated box he handed over and was stunned for a moment.
After a few seconds, she reached out and took it. "Thank you."
