Fun Facts in the Ward 1
These past few days, Song Zhao hasn't gone to work. He spends all his time at the hospital with Nan Qi, only going out to handle work and return phone calls when Nan Yue comes over.
For the first few days, her phone vibrated frequently, with caller ID galore. In front of Nanqi, she would simply say "I'm busy" and hang up each time. Only after Nanyue arrived did she go to the hospital corridor to return the calls one by one. In the following days, the calls gradually decreased.
Wu Hua and Nan Yue rented a guesthouse nearby. Every day when Nan Yue came, she would bring all kinds of nutritious soups and meals. Nan Qi could tell from the taste that it was Wu Hua's cooking. She had never denied her mother's love, not even on the day she was kicked out. But she also understood that her mother's love for her did not mean that she could forgive all her mistakes or accept everything about her.
"Hello, takeout." A deliveryman walked into the ward, carrying flowers and a basket of fruit.
Song Zhao glanced at the takeout order, which only listed the merchant's name and Nan Qi's name.
"Who sent it?" Nanqi asked curiously.
"I don't know, but there's a little card here wishing you a speedy recovery."
"I guess it's one of my colleagues. I'll ask them when I get to work."
"Could it be Yingying?" Song Zhao said sarcastically.
Nanqi quickly replied, "No, with you by my side, how could she be so tactless?"
"Hmph, that's hard to say."
Seeing that Song Zhao was getting jealous again, Nan Qi rolled her eyes and suddenly let out a muffled groan, "Hiss..."
"What's wrong?" Song Zhao rushed forward and asked with concern.
"My hand hurts."
"I'll go get the nurse."
"No need, this IV drip hurts, it hurts every day, and the nurses' visits don't help."
Song Zhao lowered his head and touched Nan Qi's hand, blowing on it gently.
"That feels so much better."
"Let's see if you dare to get sick again next time." Song Zhao looked up at her, his tone filled with undisguised heartache and a hint of helplessness.
"Hehe, I won't do it again," Nanqi said with a silly grin.
"Come up here, I want to lean on you," Nanqi pouted and said coquettishly.
"The bed is so small, aren't you afraid I might accidentally hurt your hand?"
"Hey~, stop talking so much and hurry up and come up." Nanqi said, a little annoyed and acting childish.
"Okay, I'm coming up, don't rush me."
Song Zhao took off her shoes and socks, put her legs together, and sat down next to Nan Qi. Nan Qi turned her head, squinted her eyes, and stared at her like a lovesick fool.
"You're so beautiful," Nanqi murmured, unable to resist leaning down to gently kiss Song Zhao's eyes, then moving down to kiss the tip of her nose, finally landing on her soft lips.
Song Zhao gave her a knowing smile and said, "Baby, the place where you're aroused isn't suitable."
Nanqi glanced guiltily at the doorway and said, blushing, "Nobody's here!"
"It's not safe."
"Never mind then," Nanqi muttered angrily.
Song Zhao shook her head, raised her hand to lift the corner of the blanket, and with a push of her arm, completely covered the two of them under the covers, saying seductively, "It's safe now..."
Before she could finish speaking, her lips descended, gently covering Nanqi's lips with her thin lips, the warm touch instantly spreading. Their tongues lightly touched, with a cautious, tentative exploration.
Nanqi then took the initiative to hook her tongue and probe it into her mouth, while her palm caressed her cheek, greedily sucking the sweetness between her lips and teeth.
"Ward check!"
Upon hearing those two words, both of them were startled and immediately opened their eyes. They put down the blankets and sat up straight. In her panic, Nanqi licked her lips as if savoring the memory.
With a soft creak of the doorknob, a group of people in white coats walked in. "Anyone feeling unwell today?"
"No," Nanqi said somewhat awkwardly.
Does your stomach still hurt?
"It doesn't hurt."
"Is there a problem with eating?"
"No."
Why are your lips so red?
"Huh?" Nanqi was stunned for a moment, her mind went blank for a second, and after she came to her senses, her cheeks flushed instantly, and she looked at Song Zhao helplessly.
Song Zhao quickly took a tissue to wipe her mouth and said with a calm smile, "The lipstick wasn't applied properly."
"Don't wear makeup when you're sick; there's a time and place when you want to look good."
"Yes, yes," Nanqi replied shyly.
"Get some rest, relax for a few days, and keep a happy mood."
"yes."
After asking the questions, the doctors left in a large group. Nanqi, recalling her embarrassing moment, couldn't help but chuckle. She turned to Song Zhao, her eyes crinkling, and said, "I feel like I've been scolded by my second uncle."
Song Zhao rested his chin on his hand and laughed, "Maybe we got caught sneaking around."
"You know what, it's actually quite exciting." Nanqi laughed even louder.
Song Zhao winked at her and said, "Want to continue?"
"No, that's too much trouble. Let's sneak out after I finish my IV drip! Let's... go to a hotel," Nanqi said with a mischievous grin, raising an eyebrow.
"No, what if you're not feeling well?"
Seeing that Song Zhao shook his head and refused her without even thinking, Nan Qi's smile froze. She pouted and said impatiently, "I'm all better now, I'm fine."
Song Zhao raised his hand and gently patted the top of her head, saying softly, "Be good, observe for two more days."
"Hmph... I'm not happy." Nanqi curled up in a ball, hugging her knees, and said in a somewhat depressed tone.
"Okay, after you finish this IV drip, I'll take you for a walk. There's a place here that's not too crowded."
"Alright then," Nanqi complained softly, "What era are we living in? It's still so difficult to get intimate."
Song Zhao chuckled softly, rubbed her shoulder, and seeing that she didn't react, he stole a kiss on the corner of her lips and said gently, "Sweetie."
Nanqi felt much better now and looked up, saying, "Give me my phone."
Song Zhao suddenly paused, his expression turning serious: "You're with me, and you still want to play on your phone?"
"No," Nanqi quickly explained, "I've been staying here for so many days, what if my workplace needs to contact me? And the bar, I haven't been there these past few days, and I haven't even said hello to the owner."
"The doctor told you to rest, but you're worrying about this and that all day long. How are you going to recover?" Song Zhao said with a hint of disdain, but his hand reached into his pocket and took out Nan Qi's phone, opened her WeChat messages, and replied to each one.
"Let me see."
As soon as Nanqi leaned closer, Song Zhao switched the phone from her left hand to her right, deliberately creating some distance. "Your colleagues are all asking if you're feeling better. I'll tell them, in your own voice, that you're not going to die, and that they shouldn't worry. I've also asked the bar owner for leave for you." With that, he put her phone back in his pocket.
"Once you're discharged from the hospital, quit your job at the bar. This can't be delayed any longer."
Nanqi sighed and said, "That bar is making quite a bit of money."
"Hmm?" Song Zhao's eyes immediately darkened, and his expression turned cold.
Seeing this, Nanqi quickly said, "I didn't say I wouldn't resign, I just feel it's a bit of a pity."
"Money or your life?! Can't you even figure that out?"
"I understand perfectly. I want my life, I want my life," Nanqi quickly compromised, afraid that Song Zhao would be unhappy.
She sighed, slumped onto the bed, and watched the liquid slowly drip down the bottle. Not knowing how long it would take, she blinked and tentatively asked, "How about... I can play with your phone for a while?"
"What? Are you so bored with me that you have to play on your phone?!" Song Zhao frowned, her anger seemingly rising.
Nanqi had a vague feeling that something was wrong; Song Zhao seemed unusually resistant to her touching her phone today. But she didn't want to upset Song Zhao, so she pulled her finger and coaxed, "Okay, okay, I won't play on my phone anymore."
Song Zhao's expression softened, and he said affectionately, "Good boy."
