Chapter 139: Madam, the one who came this time was Qi Hanmu. ...
The one who came this time was Qi Hanmu.
Xia Yiqing had been waiting for a long time. From the swaying shadow, he could guess who wanted that face, and his heart began to pound unconsciously.
Whenever visiting time comes, the ICU ceiling becomes bright and the constant temperature air conditioning becomes warm, just like a warm spring day.
Qi Hanmu's arrival made all this madness double, bringing out the secret joy in Xia Yiqing's heart, magnifying it again and again, as if it was going to cover the entire hospital.
Yesterday, Madam Qi told Xia Yiqing that Muying Medical had changed its name.
It was changed to its former name, Qingmu Medical.
Although judging from Qi Hanmu's judgment of her behavior not long ago, Qi Hanmu should have recovered his memory.
Xia Yiqing's palms were slightly sweaty, but when she saw the man walking in, her shoulders still tensed unconsciously.
It's like fighting a protracted war without any preparation.
The oxygen mask on her face was still on. Xia Yiqing opened her mouth, but then remembered that Qi Hanmu couldn't hear her clearly if she spoke like that, so she closed it.
She just put her left fingertips inside the quilt and slowly stroked the outer edge of the quilt.
"I brought you a few things this time." Qi Hanmu noticed the glimmer in Xia Yiqing's pupils, and the smile on his lips gradually widened.
"You gave me all of these things before. Now, I want to express my sincere gratitude to Qingqing."
Seeing Qi Hanmu take out the bag of Yu Fu Ji chocolate candies and the silk scarf, Xia Yiqing almost couldn't blink.
Her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
This is not a gift worth giving away at all, it's simply her dark history.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Qi Hanmu seemed to be able to sense his subtle emotions. He slowly stroked the back of Xia Yiqing's hand with his fingertips and pressed it twice, as if to give her confidence.
"You know, during your coma, every time I looked at them, I felt different."
Since these two things could be brought into the ICU, they must have been sterilized. However, Qi Hanmu looked regretful and said, "It's a pity that you can't eat this candy now. I can only help you solve it after I get out."
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva to moisten her throat, Xia Yiqing tried to cough.
Unexpectedly, this tiny movement was detected by the ventilator, which quickly adjusted the oxygen delivery frequency and started working wheezing.
Qi Hanmu's eyes curved at this little gesture. "If you want to talk, you can touch me first. I'm different from grandma. I can read lips."
The man's mental state was not very good. He might not have gotten enough sleep. His eyes were congested, with obvious red bloodshot, and there was stubble on his upper lip and chin.
But even so, Qi Hanmu's eyes were still sparkling, as if countless stars were twinkling in them. Upon closer inspection, it was hope.
But hope cannot be regarded as a life-saving medicine.
Xia Yiqing frowned and simply mouthed, "Sleep! How long can a person last without sleep? Go and rest."
It is not difficult to imagine that Mr. Qi San, who was sitting next to him, must have understood it.
But he moved his right leg to the side, lifted his left leg, crossed his legs, and leaned forward. The pair of dark eyes in his deep eye sockets could simply suck people in.
"No hurry." The two were close, and Xia Yiqing seemed to smell the cool woody fragrance in the disinfectant again, like a quiet pine forest that finally welcomed the sun after a long night.
"I want to see what you'll look like after you recover. Then you can watch me rest, okay?"
How can you ruin your body like this?
Xia Yiqing glared at him, her expression tinged with anger. "Does it have to be that one of us gets better before the other falls? Isn't it good for us to get better together?"
Unable to convince those eyes that were full of autumn water, Qi Hanmu laughed and raised his hands in surrender.
"Okay, listen to us Qingqing. I'm going to rest now. It's just a pity that grandma will have the chance to see you again."
Xia Yiqing blinked her eyes and did not forget to comfort him at this time.
"When I recover, you can watch as much as you want."
Unexpectedly, the pair of bony hands reached out to her cheeks and pinched them, "No, my Qingqing is not an object of appreciation."
Xia Yiqing glared, "How did it become yours?"
Gently lifting Xia Yiqing's palm, Qi Hanmu slowly turned his face and placed the part of his carotid artery in her palm.
"I said something wrong and I deserve to be punished. Then I will hand myself over to Master Qingqing."
His voice was light and smiling, but Xia Yiqing saw Qi Hanmu's left wrist clearly, and her pupils shrank.
As a result, the original lip-syncing turned into a forced voice, "What's wrong with your wrist?"
Looking down, he saw several winding centipede-like scars across the inner wrist of his left hand, like a bridge across the sea. Most of them had grown new white flesh, and even if there were scars, they were already deep and were almost healed.
"It's okay," Qi Hanmu raised his wrist and placed it in front of Xia Yiqing, letting her take a closer look.
“It’s just that I’ve touched it before.”
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Xia Yiqing stopped talking and was thinking in her mind how to deal with him after she recovered.
Soon it was Qi Hanying's turn to come and see her. He was very awkward and walked with small legs apart like a duck.
"I'm sorry for what I said before," Qi Hanying's two hands were restlessly waving around her lower abdomen, her eyes glancing around, but not always on Xia Yiqing.
"I know I went too far in accepting your gift and even spoke rudely to you. I'm sorry."
After saying this, the dandy boy who always played games bent down in the direction of Xia Yiqing and bowed deeply.
The arc formed by his legs and upper body was almost smaller than a right angle.
"fine."
Xia Yiqing said "It's okay" twice in a row, but Qi Hanying in front of her didn't respond. She then realized that her voice was swallowed by the ventilator again.
Feeling inexplicably funny, Xia Yiqing raised her hand and knocked on the buttons on the headboard next to her.
Looking up, Qi Hanying saw that Xia Yiqing's smile had not faded, and she felt even more ashamed.
"I was wrong. I really know I was wrong, Sister Qingqing. I originally wanted to come here to be your caregiver, but my brother didn't want to."
These words scared Xia Yiqing.
This is unnecessary.
If the younger brother were to take care of his sister-in-law himself, who knows how depressed the jealous and petty brother would be.
After sending Qi Hanying off with trepidation, Xia Yiqing got approval from the doctor and was able to be transferred to the general ward the next day.
Early the next morning, Qi Hanmu walked in first. His face wasn't that serious, but the smile on his lips was a little stiff.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Yiqing has removed her oxygen mask and is only wearing a nasal oxygen tube, so her voice is not affected.
The purple color on Qi Hanmu's lips had not faded. He had just had a major attack and his chest was now stuffy.
Before Xia Yiqing could ask again, Qi Hanmu suddenly rolled his eyes upwards, revealing a little bit of fragile white in his eyes.
He fell forward like a bamboo pole blown down by the wind.
Fortunately, Xia Yiqing recovered well. She jumped out of bed without hesitation, stepped on the ground barefoot, took two steps forward, and held Qi Hanmu's shoulders.
Qi Hanmu's body was almost as light as a fallen leaf in the autumn wind. Unfortunately, Xia Yiqing had just recovered from a serious illness and had little strength to support him. She had no choice but to fall to the ground with him.
The noise inside alarmed a group of people outside.
When everyone rushed over, they saw the two of them cuddling on the ground.
"Um, Qingqing, did I disturb you?" It was Old Madam Qi who spoke first awkwardly.
"No," Xia Yiqing spoke with difficulty, blocked by Qi Hanmu's broad body.
"Come and see, the Third Master suddenly fainted."
This unexpected change came suddenly, like a slap from God hidden in the dark, catching everyone off guard.
Fortunately, Madam Qi and Xia Yiqing and the others were quite calm.
As the two women that Qi Hanmu cared about the most, they did not blame each other, but comforted each other.
"Grandma, Third Master has made it through so many times, so this time, there will definitely be no problem."
Xia Yiqing had just finished the operation and was a little weak. Her voice was soft and she had to slow down before speaking.
But even so, she still insisted on standing at the door of the operating room, but someone added a leather cushion to the cold chair, so at least it was not so uncomfortable.
It wasn't known whether Old Lady Qi was truly relieved or was deliberately teasing her. She glanced at Xia Yiqing lightly with a smile in the corner of her eyes.
"Qingqing, you and Han Mu are already engaged and planning to get married, but you still call him Third Master. Isn't that a bit too intimate? Why don't you just follow me and call him Han Mu?"
The two were reminiscing about the past when Luo Miao came back again.
"Madam, Madam, your parents are waiting outside. Would you like to let them in? They look quite old."
Madam Qi tapped the armrest lightly with her fingertips and glanced at Xia Yiqing's face. "Let them in."
Xia Feng brought Xia Yiqing's mother in. His attitude was obviously not as arrogant as before. He rubbed his hands, smiled awkwardly, and greeted Madam Qi.
Because Xia Yiqing was there, Madam Qi did not act rudely and smiled and nodded at them.
"Qingqing," Xia Feng had fine lines at the corners of his eyes, and two lines of nasolabial folds extended from the tip of his nose downwards, making him look a little older.
"As soon as we heard you were injured, we rushed here immediately. Are you okay?"
After a few simple greetings, Xia Yiqing slowly shifted her gaze from Xia Feng's graying temples to his face.
"The Qi family should have restricted the dissemination of this news. May I ask, father, how did you get the news first and rush over here?"
Xia Yiqing's mother raised her head.
She usually loves to smile when she sees people, and she has deep wrinkles on both sides of her face, but this time her smile has a bit more pride, as if she has something to show off in front of her husband and daughter.
"Qingqing, Mom is close to Madam Chen who attended the banquet, so she told Mom everything."
Old Madam Qi's eyes showed no emotion, she just tapped twice with her fingertips hanging beside the armrest.
The wife of the Chen family is not careful with her words, so she doesn't have to attend Qi's various banquets in the future.
Looking at her mother's smug face, Xia Yiqing felt a little sad, but she also knew that her mother was just a straightforward person and couldn't change it all at once.
Seeing the old lady glancing towards the operating room from time to time, Xia Yiqing felt even more heartbroken. She didn't expect that she was recovered, but Qi Hanmu suddenly collapsed.
Heartbroken and unable to entertain her parents for the time being, Xia Yiqing could only nod and say, "I have received your kindness. Go back. It's not good to stay in the hospital for too long."
Xia Feng suddenly became shy, his old face turned a little red, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Madam, please tell me if she is the Third Master's wife."
Xia Yiqing's heart trembled. Qi Hanmu hadn't even mentioned engagement to her, let alone marriage.
