Chapter 34: The filth was originally blocking...
The filth that was originally blocked in the throat seemed to have found an opportunity and fought desperately against the shackles. In just a few seconds, the rotten smell had already filled the mouth.
He only had time to bend over the basin before filth fell from his mouth and nose.
It was very quiet, with only the occasional "err" sound coming from the throat. Qi Hanmu pinched the inside of his arm tightly until it turned purple.
The girl's soothing aura did not disappear because of this. Instead, she seemed not to care and gently slid along his back.
"So you're vomiting because of indigestion. It's okay, go ahead and vomit. It's normal."
The hand pressed against his back again and again, with just the right amount of force.
Like a feather, it gently strokes the heartstrings, and like a hot air balloon, it carries the whole heart and flies into the clear blue sky.
Qi Hanmu felt that there might be something wrong with his eyes. Why did mist gather as soon as Xia Yiqing came over?
"Does it hurt?"
The girl's voice sounded somewhat bewildered, but she continued to try to comfort him.
“Hmm…”
Almost everything that could be vomited out was vomited out, and a not very pleasant smell spread in the ward. Even without a close sniff, one could not help but frown.
"Dirty..., get out, don't look."
Qi Hanmu's voice was even lower and hoarse because he had just vomited, almost like the rustling sound of sandpaper grinding against each other.
His eyelids drooped, and a hint of red slowly appeared on his cold pale skin.
I don’t know if it was because I was too emotional or because I vomited too much just now.
"Are you feeling better?" Xia Yiqing seemed not to hear him, and poured warm water into the glass and handed it to the man.
"Rinse your mouth."
Qi Hanying's shadow had long disappeared from the curtains. He stared at the door again with wide eyes, not even looking at the work message on his phone.
His brother has such a strong sense of self-esteem that he cannot tolerate others seeing his powerless side.
The caregivers we hired before were either scared away by him or were restricted in every way and had to resign.
How come it works as soon as Xia Yiqing comes?
The warm water stopped in front of the man, only twenty centimeters away from his bloodless lips, and still emitted a light mist.
"Just rinse it. I checked the water temperature, it's just right, not hot."
The glass moved forward about ten centimeters, very close to the man's lips, and the girl's bright smile followed closely behind, with her almond-shaped eyes looking at him expectantly.
There was a lump in his throat and Qi Hanmu's Adam's apple rolled. The pair of eyes that always showed gentleness towards Xia Yiqing now lost their gentle appearance, revealing a cold and noble undertone.
Unattainable and very distant.
If a normal person were to give an evaluation, it would be like encountering a lion in the primeval jungle.
Or, like an ancient giant python, it slowly swims in front of you and slowly spits out its tongue.
"Before, when I was not feeling well, you avoided me. Now that you see how sick I am, you start to feel pity for me."
The man's hand pressing on his stomach was clearly showing blue veins, and the tip of his white nose was covered with water droplets, but there was a hint of mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were distant.
"I don't."
Xia Yiqing looked at him steadily. Her almond-shaped eyes were dark, with distinct black and white in them, like two purple grapes fished out of a clear spring.
Seeing that the man just bowed, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and his head tilted away, Xia Yiqing pursed her lips and slowly moved forward.
As if they were playing some kind of game where they couldn't touch each other, he retreated and she advanced, and when she moved closer, he retreated further.
"Really not, Third Master, why are you running?"
A hint of red appeared on the tip of Qi Hanmu's cold and pale ears, the veins on the back of his hands bulged, and his heart beat rapidly and irregularly, as if squeezing out the last bit of air from his mouth and nose.
"You, don't come near."
"Why? I'm not a monster. I'm not going to insist. We're still husband and wife in name only. It's just that the agreement expired and we didn't renew it."
"Don't you mean that I have no status now?"
The man spoke in a very soft voice, and his eyelids drooped as he spoke, casting a thin shadow on his eye bags, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes.
The hospital gown hanging on the man looked a little empty.
Perhaps the man had a major ordeal and used up all the flesh he had gained.
The man's head was lowered almost to his chest, and his neck was exposed to Xia Yiqing without reservation. It had a kind of broken beauty with a sickly look, just like a doll made of white jade.
"Who said you have no status?" Xia Yiqing thought about it and put her finger to her lips. She turned her head, coughed, and turned back as if nothing had happened.
"Since status can be changed from existence to non-existence, it can also be changed from non-existence to existence. Plus..."
The girl fell silent as she spoke.
She also imitated the man, lowered her snow-white neck, touched the corner of her clothes with her fingers, and rubbed it slowly, but her lips were tightly pursed, as if there was a grudge between the two.
The man seemed to be very interested. He took her soft and boneless hand in his big hand and kneaded it carefully. "What? Speak clearly."
"I'm done with you..."
The girl turned her head away, perhaps going to work. There was a faint scent of cold perfume on her body.
Who are you trying to fool? It's clearly just a little white rabbit.
Qi Hanmu felt better and no longer wanted to argue with Xia Yiqing.
He suddenly let go of Xia Yiqing's hand, closed his eyes, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his whole face suddenly turned pale and bloodless. He covered his upper abdomen with his right hand, and reached into the quilt with his left hand, grabbing the white sheets with his knuckles and squeezing so hard that veins popped.
The man's chuckle still echoed in his ears.
Xia Yiqing had a feeling that she was being looked down upon, and she pouted, and was about to "fight back", but she unexpectedly saw the man's arms trembling and his lips slowly turning blue.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable? Is it your stomach? I'll call a doctor."
As she spoke, her hand was about to reach for the call bell beside the bed.
A large palm came across, heading straight towards the direction where Xia Yiqing's hand was tucked, and accurately pinched her slender wrist.
But he seemed to have no strength left. He only squeezed it lightly, then trembled and let go on his own.
The man's thin body was sunken between the white sheets, his chest rising and falling slightly with his breathing.
Maybe it was an irregular heartbeat, the amplitude was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, it looked a bit scary.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
As if the girl had predicted, Qi Hanmu's eyes went dark and he almost couldn't breathe.
The colic in the stomach and abdomen becomes more obvious.
The injections he had received these days were already irritating to his stomach, and he hadn't eaten anything, so he was given a cold apple directly. His stomach wasn't ok with that, and it was churning violently at the moment, and he was determined to get an explanation.
Realizing that he might be embarrassed in front of Xia Yiqing again, Qi Hanmu's face became even darker.
"go out."
The man finally gathered his breath, tried to keep his breathing steady, and finished the sentence without pausing.
Unfortunately, although he concealed it well on his face, the stomach is an emotional organ. He can hide it from others but not from himself.
As soon as I finished speaking, the greasy feeling of nausea floated up to my throat again.
Just by breathing, Qi Hanmu could feel the physical discomfort.
Although there was no emotion in the man's words and his eyes were cold, Xia Yiqing inexplicably saw some fragility under his cold eyes.
So in this VIP ward, a real "read and reply" scene took place.
"Oh, your stomach is upset, right? It's okay. I have experience. Rubbing it may help. Why don't you try it?"
It was simply a forced sale. Before Qi Hanmu could even utter a "no", the girl's soft palm had already pressed against his stomach on its own initiative.
The girl's hand was warm, and the severe pain was relieved a lot as soon as she placed it on her upper abdomen.
"Let's go." This gentle place was too charming. The man's five fingers holding the bed sheet were tightly curled up, and his body was trembling. He leaned back hard, and the veins on his forehead were exposed.
"Go away!"
The electrocardiogram monitor next to him sounded an alarm, and his heart rate had already soared to an abnormal "140".
Qi Hanmu was thrown onto the shore like a dying fish, flapping his tail fin weakly.
His body was tense, and his heartbeats were like chaotic drumbeats.
The stomach suddenly lost its warmth because Xia Yiqing withdrew her hand, and it retaliated even more violently, almost destroying the world.
Under the stimulation of intense pain, the originally fragile heart could not bear the burden. After beating violently for a while, it showed signs of stopping.
Medical staff filed in, issuing instructions one after another.
"Supraventricular tachycardia, administer 6ml of adenosine intravenously."
"The patient has a history of asthma. Have albuterol ready."
Next to the bed, the nurse pulled up the curtain.
Xia Yiqing was politely stopped outside. The man's dilated and unfocused pupils flashed by, and she only had time to remember his purple, oxygen-deprived lips and his overly calm eyes.
Qi Hanying and Xia Yiqing were together, both of them standing guard at the door.
After a long while, Luo Miao came to the two of them and said, "Have you two had dinner? I bought some. If you don't mind, have some."
Xia Yiqing thanked him, glanced at the five-star hotel takeaway sign above, and paused with her chopsticks.
"Did the Third Master ask you to buy it?"
Luo Miao readily admitted, "Yeah." Then, as if remembering something, he added, "The Third Master was afraid you'd be hungry, so he sent me there specifically."
Qi Hanying just hummed this time, surprisingly not mocking him, but she didn't pick up the chopsticks either.
Luo Miao greeted him cheerfully, "Eat."
The young CEO turned around and said, "Isn't it for her? Then what am I supposed to eat?"
"Don't be angry, Mr. Qi. The Third Master also asked me to bring you a copy. The Third Master still cares about you very much."
As he spoke, seeing Qi Hanying's cheeks flushed as she went to get chopsticks, Luo Miao stood up and walked towards the ward with a smile on his face.
He went to check on Qi Hanmu's condition, leaving Xia Yiqing and Qi Hanying staring blankly.
"Don't look at me," Xia Yiqing picked up a piece of lean meat, chewed it carefully, swallowed it, and continued her own words.
"Eat vegetables. There are vegetables on my face? Can you get full just by looking at my face?"
Qi Hanying choked and said, "Why can you eat so casually? Big Brother cares about you so much,
"Can't you think about him? You've eaten, but what about him? Will he still be hungry?"
Xia Yiqing had no intention of fighting with such a young brother. She swallowed a mouthful of egg and smiled.
"He'll throw up if he eats a bite of apple now, so it's naturally difficult for him to eat anything else. Besides, how do you know I won't cook for him myself?"
"You, you haven't cooked yet?"
"Of course you have to eat enough to have the strength."
Xia Yiqing's appetite was not affected at all, and she calmly picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks.
Just as she put down her chopsticks, Luo Miao came out of the ward and said, "Madam, the Third Master is not in a good mood. His heart rate fluctuated when I came in. But the doctor has left, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Okay." Xia Yiqing wiped the corner of her mouth, packed up her lunch box, and picked up the bag of garbage again.
"Hey, you don't have to touch these ladies, I'll take care of it."
"Thank you for your hard work," she smiled generously and gently. "Third Master has been in the hospital these days. Thanks to Secretary Luo for coming back and forth to help. I really don't know how to thank you for this kindness."
"Oh, no, no, it's all part of my job."
As the two were talking, bursts of coughing could be heard in the quiet ward.
