Huo Qinian sat in front of the bed, looking at Su Yunbai with a serious expression.

The effect of the anesthetic had not yet worn off, and Su Yunbai was still asleep. She was wearing a hospital gown, and the buttons on the collar were not fully buttoned, so her two collarbones were exposed, white and beautiful, but also very cold.

Too thin.

How could she be so thin?

He had noticed when he held her before that her bones were so bony that they could hurt people. He could easily carry her from upstairs to downstairs in one breath, without even breathing.

She was actually not short, but now lying on the bed, the whole person was just a thin little ball. In addition, her face was pale, and she was still on an IV...

Huo Qinian couldn't bear to see this, and couldn't help but get up and pull the quilt for her.

Su Yunbai was still sleeping soundly.

Huo Qinian sat back down and looked at her for a long time. He suddenly felt a little panicked and picked up his phone to check the time.

It was half past seven, and the effect of the anesthetic should have worn off.

Huo Qinian looked up at Su Yunbai again.

She didn't seem to have any intention of waking up.

Huo Qinian remembered the doctor's instructions and called her softly, "Yunbai? Yunbai?"

After a long while, Su Yunbai frowned and seemed to be about to wake up.

Huo Qinian didn't even notice that he was relieved and continued to talk to her, "Don't sleep anymore, wake up."

Su Yunbai opened her eyes and couldn't focus for a long time.

She was like a person with severe myopia who didn't wear glasses. The world had no concrete images for her, only rough blocks of color. And these blocks of color kept changing in her field of vision, making her dizzy and almost want to vomit.

Huo Qinian's expression changed drastically and he immediately pressed the bell.

Soon, several doctors in white coats came in.

Su Yun's eyes were full of stars and cold sweat was dripping from her forehead.

She heard Huo Qinian's voice, which seemed to come from a very fast place, and suppressed her anger: "What's wrong with her? Is she allergic?"

"Have you checked if she has allergies?"

"Didn't you say it was a minor surgery? This looks like a minor surgery?"

"Give me an explanation!"

Why is he so overbearing?

Su Yunbai couldn't bear it any longer and called him, "Huo Qinian..."

Her voice was hoarse and soft, which scared her.

No matter how soft Su Yunbai's voice was, Huo Qinian still heard it.

He moved closer to look at her, "Yunbai, how are you? Are you uncomfortable?"

The doctor spoke at the right time: "We checked it out, and there's nothing wrong. Everyone has different constitutions, and Ms. Su's reaction to the anesthesia is just a little bit stronger."

Su Yunbai felt much better after the initial period.

The effect of the anesthetic gradually wore off, and soon, the pain from the wound began to come.

Su Yunbai was conscious and managed her emotions.

No matter how painful it was, she didn't say much.

Huo Qinian quickly realized that something was wrong.

Su Yunbai is particularly delicate in some aspects, especially in terms of pain tolerance. The anesthetic effect has worn off, why is she still acting like nothing happened?

Huo Qinian took a closer look and saw Su Yunbai with her eyes closed, teeth clenched, and sweat on her forehead.

But she still didn't say anything even after all this... Who is she trying to compete with?

This person feels uncomfortable if she doesn't torture herself for a day, right?

Huo Qinian wanted to scold this blockhead severely, but looking at her pitiful appearance, he felt a little reluctant.

In the end, he made himself full of anger.

Young Master Huo was used to going with the flow, and it was rare for him to have such a difficult time.

But the man was unaware of it and was challenging his bottom line every minute: "I'm fine here. You have such a big company... Go and do your own thing."

Huo Qinian was so angry that he almost laughed.

If he didn't know Su Yunbai's character well, he almost thought that this man was retreating to advance with him.

Huo Qinian sat down, his face was indistinguishable from joy or anger, and his voice even seemed very calm: "What will you do if I leave?"

Su Yunbai said: "There are nurses in the hospital."

As if to verify that what she said was true, someone knocked on the door just after she finished speaking.

Huo Qinian went to open the door.

A middle-aged woman with a rather sturdy figure stood outside the door, with a slightly restrained look: "Is this Miss Su? My surname is Wang, and I'm the nurse she hired..."

Huo Qinian snorted.

What a talent! He has been almost always in front of her since she was admitted to the hospital. When did she find the opportunity to hire a nurse?

In the ward, Su Yunbai said, "It's me, please come

in." Nurse Wang glanced at Huo Qinian carefully and avoided him.

I always feel that this young man looks like he wants to eat people, so it's better to stay away from him.

Huo Qinian didn't say a word, went back to the room to pack up his computer and briefcase, turned around and left.

The door of the ward closed again.

Su Yunbai didn't know what happened to her. It was obviously her who drove the people out, but when the people really left, her heart seemed to be empty all of a sudden.

Nurse Wang was looking at her carefully, with a little curiosity and a hint of gossip in his expression.

Su Yunbai quickly came to his senses and smiled at Nurse Wang, "I'm having an appendix surgery. Have you had related experience before?"

Nurse Wang looked very relaxed, "Yes. We also have rules in this industry. You told me before that it was an appendix surgery, so we will charge according to the appendix surgery fee.

"Don't worry, I'm used to doing it. Before you, I just sent a little girl with appendicitis out of the hospital.

"To be frank, I'm familiar with all the precautions after appendix surgery. In a case like yours, the most important thing is to deflate first. After the air is deflated, everything will be easy..."

Nurse Wang spoke very clearly and seemed very professional.

But it could also be that she is too professional, so that she is a little... careless.

At 2:30 in the morning, Su Yunbai listened to the wanton snoring of Nurse Wang and sighed helplessly.

The IV drip she had to receive today was divided into two batches, and the first batch had been completed. Nurse Wang conscientiously watched over the IV drip for her, and then accidentally fell asleep. Before falling asleep, she asked Su Yunbai if she wanted to go to the toilet.

Su Yunbai really didn't want to go to the toilet at that time, but she didn't expect that her physiological reaction would appear only half an hour later.

I always feel that waking up Nurse Wang at this time is a bit of a hassle.

Su Yunbai looked at the potted plant on the left - the conditions in the independent ward were very good, and the small room behind the potted plant was an independent bathroom, not far from her bed.

All in all, it was only about five or six meters away.

Su Yunbai thought about it, and without waking up the nurse Wang, she supported herself with her arms and quietly moved her legs...hiss, she pulled her abdominal muscles.

Su Yunbai's frown relaxed for a long time, and she began to test carefully again.

It took her more than a minute, and she finally sat on the bed with her legs on the ground.

Next, she stood up with the support.

Su Yunbai gestured on the bed for a long time, thinking about what posture she could use to avoid pulling the wound, and she was quite devoted to the thought.

Wait, it seems wrong?

Su Yunbai turned her head subconsciously.

The door of the ward was half open. Huo Qinian, who was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, held the door handle with one hand and put the other hand in his pocket. He just stood at the door, looking at her quietly, and she didn't know how long he looked at her.

Su Yunbai's breath was choked.

Huo Qinian loosened his hand holding the door handle, rubbed his brows, and after a long while, he sighed heavily.

He closed the door of the ward and walked towards Su Yunbai.

Su Yunbai almost forced herself not to step back.

She herself felt a little embarrassed, as if she had taken a project out of sheer stubbornness, but ended up messing it up in front of the project's sponsor, and it was a complete mess.

She was ready to listen to Huo Qinian's ridicule.

But tonight Huo Qinian seemed unexpectedly... soft?

He looked at Su Yunbai for a long time, and a soft breath came out of his nose, like a hum, or like just a soft sigh.

He said, "Are you asking for trouble? You hired a nurse just to watch her sleep?" She

was surprisingly... gentle.

Su Yunbai's ears felt numb.

Huo Qinian asked her, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"

Su Yunbai was even more embarrassed.

Huo Qinian looked at Su Yunbai who was sitting there stupidly, and couldn't help but sigh.

This guy... really got lost by her.

He held Su Yunbai's arm with both hands and reminded her, "Don't move."

After that, a force centered on Su Yunbai's arm lifted her up.

Su Yunbai was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was being lifted up by Huo Qinian, just like an adult lifting a child.

With nowhere to lean on and in such an awkward position...Su Yunbai almost subconsciously wanted to struggle.

Huo Qinian warned her: "I told you not to move. You just had surgery. Do you want the wound to burst?"

Su Yunbai really didn't dare to move.

Huo Qinian lifted Su Yunbai and easily carried her to the bathroom and placed her in front of the toilet.

Su Yunbai seemed to have not reacted yet. She stared at him with her eyes wide open and her expression seemed a little broken.

To be honest, this expression was not very Su Yunbai, but it was unexpectedly cute.

The evil factor in Huo Qinian's heart began to stir again.

He asked, "Can you...undress yourself? Or should I help you?"

Su Yunbai's breathing paused for a moment, and then her face flushed, even her neck was red.

She almost gritted her teeth and said, "No need!"

Huo Qinian whispered, "Why are you shy? It's not like I haven't undressed before..."

In the narrow bathroom, even the quietest words were amplified by the echo.

Su Yunbai was so embarrassed that she got angry, "Get out!"

How shameless is this guy?

Huo Qinian touched his nose and walked out by himself, saying, "Don't be so stubborn. I'm right outside the bathroom door, call me if you need anything."

With such a big commotion, Wang the nurse naturally woke up.

Huo Qinian waved his hand and drove everyone out. He stood at the door of the bathroom and chatted with Su Yunbai: "Originally, it is possible to insert a catheter, but it is said that the experience of inserting a catheter is not very good. I think there is no need to suffer that, right?"

Su Yunbai did not answer. She did not want to talk to him now.

Huo Qinian did not need her to answer. He unilaterally outputted: "Do you know how to insert a catheter? It is to..."

Su Yunbai was a little collapsed.

She really did not expect that one day she would have to go to the toilet, and while she had a hard time relieving herself, she was forced to listen to Huo Qinian's popular science about inserting a catheter...

Huo Qinian knew a lot, and he talked too much in detail, so that Su Yunbai could imagine the embarrassment just by thinking about it.

Compared with the catheter, it seemed that being blocked in the toilet to relieve herself was a very easy option.

In view of the fact that Mr. Huo himself had no scruples and could talk about anything embarrassing, the strange feeling of awkwardness in Su Yunbai's heart disappeared unconsciously.

In the bathroom, the sound of the toilet flushing rang out.

Huo Qinian immediately pushed the door open.

Su Yunbai almost

couldn't breathe. Doesn't this person treat himself as an outsider?

Huo Qinian looked at Su Yunbai, who was dressed neatly, and snorted, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It is indeed a bit tiring to have a wife who is particularly concerned about her reputation. At least he, Mr. Huo, has never been so shameless in his life. He actually inserted a catheter outside the toilet...

He didn't even believe it when he said it.

Huo Qinian lifted the man up and put him back on the bed.

After Su Yunbai left that environment, the awkward feeling came back.

To be honest, she didn't want to see Huo Qinian now.

Huo Qinian, however, knew the principle of striking while the iron was hot.

Su Yunbai was a tortoise, and he couldn't have a good chat with her on weekdays. Now was a rare opportunity.

He didn't want to compete, he... couldn't bear it.

He just admitted defeat.

Huo Qinian sat in front of the hospital bed and sighed: "Yunbai, let's talk."
