"I'm not tired. How are you? Does the wound still hurt?" She looked at Lu Qing's face carefully, trying to find a hint of health on it, but all she saw was endless paleness.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Lu Qing smiled lightly and wanted to raise his hand to touch her face, but he frowned because of the wound.
Shen Qiqi quickly stopped his movements and carefully tucked the quilt in for him.
"You have a good rest, and leave the rest to me." She said in a firm tone, as if she was declaring something.
Lu Qing looked at her and said, "Hmm"
A warm atmosphere flowed between the two of them, as if it could melt all the ice and snow.
However, this tranquility was soon broken.
Old Mrs. Lu walked in at some point, and when she saw this scene, a complicated expression appeared on her face.
She first looked at her son distressedly, then turned her gaze to Shen Qiqi with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.
"Qiqi, you've been tired all day, it's time to take a break. Leave the housework to me."
Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows, sneered in her heart, but remained expressionless on her face.
"Mom, you're right. You're old now, and you should rest well. You don't have to worry about things at home. However, our project still needs help. Can you help me with some logistical work? For example, bring water to the workers, cook for them, etc."
Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Shen Qiqi to say that.
She thought Shen Qiqi would reject her, but unexpectedly she asked her to do some odd jobs, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't say no.
"Okay, let's do it." She agreed reluctantly.
Shen Qiqi looked at Mrs. Lu's puzzled expression, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she was secretly calculating in her heart.
Now is not the time to confront her head-on, let's calm her down first.
She turned her head and focused on taking care of Lu Qing, her eyes gentle and firm.
"You have a good rest, I won't let anything happen to you."
At this moment, the door of the ward was gently pushed open, and Aunt Sun came in carrying a basket, and said with a smile: "Oh, I heard that Lu Qing was injured, so I came to see him. These are grown at home, to nourish the child..." Before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Shen Qiqi's eyes.
Shen Qiqi frowned slightly, her eyes swept over the things in her basket, and suddenly said: "Auntie Sun, you..."
In the basket brought by Aunt Sun, there were several lively turtles and some strangely shaped ginsengs.
The corners of Shen Qiqi's mouth twitched. Are you sure you're here to visit a patient, not to open a zoo?
"Auntie Sun, you are too polite. Lu Qing needs to rest now. I am afraid he is too weak to take these tonics." Shen Qiqi politely rejected Auntie Sun's kindness, but couldn't help complaining in her heart: What's the point of sending a turtle when visiting a patient these days?
Are you sure you're not here to test my cooking skills?
When Aunt Sun heard this, she quickly said, "Oh, Qiqi, you don't know, this turtle was caught by me on purpose in the mountains. It's wild and very nutritious! And this ginseng was also obtained by me through someone. It's especially good for healing wounds!" As she spoke, she was about to put the turtle next to Lu Qing's bed.
Shen Qiqi was quick to stop Aunt Sun and said, "Aunt Sun, it's really not necessary. We appreciate your kindness. Lu Qing needs a light diet now. It's not too late to eat these things after he gets better."
Seeing that Shen Qiqi insisted, Aunt Sun didn't know what to say and had to give up.
"Okay then, Qiqi, if you need any help, just tell me. I don't have anything else but plenty of time."
Shen Qiqi held Aunt Sun's hand gratefully, "Thank you, Aunt Sun. I feel relieved with your words."
After seeing off Aunt Sun, Shen Qiqi returned to Lu Qing's bedside, only to find that he looked even paler than before, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and his breathing became rapid.
"Lu Qing, what's wrong with you?" Shen Qiqi's heart tightened, and she quickly reached out to touch his forehead, which was burning hot!
"I... I feel a little uncomfortable..." Lu Qing said weakly, his voice trembling.
Shen Qiqi didn't dare to delay and immediately called Doctor Liu.
Doctor Liu checked Lu Qing's injuries again with a serious expression.
"No, his injuries have worsened and he must be transferred to the town's hospital immediately!"
"What?!" Shen Qiqi felt her eyes go dark. What should she do?
The project cannot do without her, and Lu Qing needs someone to take care of him, so she is too busy to handle it all!
Doctor Liu looked at Shen Qiqi's anxious expression and sighed, "Qiqi, I know you are in trouble, but Lu Qing's life is the most important now!"
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, "I understand, Doctor Liu, I'll arrange it right away."
She turned and looked at Lu Qing with a firm look in her eyes, "Lu Qing, don't worry, I will cure you."
At this moment, Mrs. Lu's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Qiqi, come out!" Her tone was firm and unquestionable.
