Chapter 63 Ignite the Fire, Go Back and Kiss You
Having a fever is physically and mentally exhausting, not to mention that Chi Yu is as clingy as a big dog.
Exhausted, Xinmian slept straight until 11 a.m., and when she woke up, she was alone in bed.
The faint sound of running water could be heard coming from the restroom.
The IV drip had long since finished, leaving a small bandage on the back of her hand.
Xin Mian was about to get out of bed when the ward door opened and Chen Xiulian came in from outside.
"Mianmian, you're awake."
Xinmian nodded and gave her a soft smile, "Grandma."
"Come, come, let Grandma take a look."
Chen Xiulian felt sorry for her and quickly took her hand, looking her over carefully from head to toe. Finally, she concluded, "You've lost a lot of weight."
Xin Mian looked slightly embarrassed. "Grandma, it's only been one night..."
"Look at your face, it's so thin it's smaller than my palm."
Chen Xiulian pulled her to sit down by the bed. "Grandma asked Xiaoyun, and she said that since your fever has just subsided, it's not suitable for you to eat anything too greasy, so I cooked you some milk and oatmeal porridge."
"This contains high-quality protein, which can replenish your energy. Drink more of it."
In addition to milk and oatmeal porridge, Chen Xiulian also brought fruit.
As she spoke, she opened the insulated box, and the aroma of milk instantly filled Xinmian's nose.
She smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Thank you, Grandma."
"Why be so polite with Grandma?"
Chen Xiulian ladled a bowl of soup for her, handed her the spoon, and casually asked, "Where's Ayu?"
Did he take good care of you last night?
When she started talking about last night, Xin Mian almost choked on her own saliva. "Cough cough cough."
She bent over and coughed violently, and Chen Xiulian gently patted and stroked her back.
Just then, the bathroom door opened.
The man was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, and the water droplets on his eyebrows and eyes were still wet. His dark eyes shone brightly against the backdrop of the moisture.
He stared straight at her.
When Xin Mian met his gaze, she couldn't help but recall the words he had said last night.
The man was incredibly shameless. She refused to answer, but he held her and gave her a long, wet, hot kiss until she whimpered softly before he finally let her go.
Hearing Chen Xiulian's words, Chi Yu leaned lazily against the wall, looking at Xin Mian with a leisurely air, "You are the person involved, so your answer is the most convincing."
"Xin Xiaomian, did I take good care of you last night?"
Xin Mian's face flushed red, but Chen Xiulian was also looking at her with a questioning expression. Even if she didn't want to pay attention to Chi Yu, she couldn't ignore Chen Xiulian.
She could only stammer, "...Grandma, Chi Yu...he took very good care of her last night..."
They all went to bed with all their might.
"That's good," Chen Xiulian said with a smile. When she saw Chi Yu coming over to scoop some porridge, she slapped his hand and her expression changed instantly. "This is for Mianmian."
Chi Yu sneered, "Now that you have her, you're abandoning me?"
“Mianmian is a patient, how can we be the same?” Chen Xiulian said matter-of-factly. “If you want to eat something, just order takeout yourself.”
Chi Yu sat down directly next to Xin Mian, very close to her, his arm brushing against hers. He lazily took an orange out of his bag without saying anything more.
The man must have taken a cold shower in the bathroom; his skin was slightly cool, but it couldn't hide the heat inside his body.
This is the vibrant energy of a vigorous young man, which cannot be suppressed by a cold shower.
Xin Mian was still wearing his coat, with the long sleeves rolled up to her forearms, and his strong arm pressed against hers as he leaned in.
She froze, then sprang up like a spring, "...Grandma, I...I'll go wash up first."
......
After washing up and finishing her porridge, Min Shuyun came over to take Xin Mian's temperature again, listened to her heart and lungs, and confirmed that she could be discharged from the hospital. She then smiled and patted Xin Mian's head.
"Okay, you can be discharged now."
"With the recent change of seasons, it is a high-incidence period for flu and fever, so we need to be more careful."
"If..." With Chen Xiulian present, Min Shuyun lowered her voice and put her arm around Xin Mian's shoulder, whispering in her ear, "If he goes too far, you should act cute and he definitely won't be able to resist."
“You can’t let a man do whatever he wants,” she said, her tone growing increasingly firm as if she couldn’t see Xin Mian’s flushed cheeks. “You have to take control of the situation.”
Do you know?
Xin Mian wanted to cry but couldn't, yet under her expectant gaze, she could only nod and answer, "...I...I understand..."
Her voice was soft and lacked confidence. Min Shuyun pinched her cheek with a sigh, "That brat Chi Yu used to look down on everyone. Sometimes I wonder what kind of girl could tame him."
In almost every sibling pair, the older sister often gets speechless with frustration from her younger brother.
Most people who know Min Shuyun think she is intellectual and gentle, but when it comes to Chi Yu, just thinking about how he was hated by everyone when they were kids, it's hard for Min Shuyun not to say a few sarcastic things to him.
"I never expected this..." She looked Xin Mian up and down, seemingly lost in thought. "He actually likes soft, gentle girls."
Xin Mian was utterly embarrassed, "Dr. Min..."
Min Shuyun chuckled to herself, "This is probably what they call 'one thing subdues another.'"
Seeing Xin Mian so embarrassed she wished she could disappear into the ground, Chi Yu grabbed Min Shuyun's hand, stretched out his long arm, and pulled her into his embrace. Looking at Min Shuyun meaningfully, he said, "You're right, one thing subdues another."
The last five characters were pronounced very heavily.
Xin Mian understood and looked up at him in confusion.
The man, still in that position, covered her eyes with his large hand, and his fingertips gently rubbed her soft cheek. "Let's go, you're being discharged."
Xin Mian quickly brushed his hand away, afraid that Chen Xiulian would see it when she came out of the bathroom.
Min Shuyun caught this action and instantly understood what was happening. She calmly raised an eyebrow and glanced at Chi Yu.
"You brat, so you haven't been officially hired yet?"
Chi Yu ignored her gaze, peeled an orange, and stuffed it into Xin Mian's hand.
Min Shuyun was on her shift today and was about to leave. She didn't plan to stay in the ward any longer. Just as she was saying goodbye to the two, Chen Xiulian came out of the bathroom and called out to her, "Xiaoyun, come to my house for dinner tonight."
Min Shuyun smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm so sorry, I already have an appointment."
"Next time? I'll definitely go next time."
Seeing that she already had an appointment, Chen Xiulian didn't press the matter further and nodded in agreement, "Then it's settled. When you're not busy, you'll definitely come to our house for dinner."
"good."
Min Shuyun brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, turned and left the ward.
Xin Mian took Chen Xiulian's arm. "Grandma, let's go."
Chen Xiulian patted her hand, "You and Ayu go to the parking lot first. Grandma is going to see an old friend. She'll be right back."
"Do you need us to go with you?"
“That won’t do,” Chen Xiulian refused outright. “You’ve just recovered from your illness, and your immunity is still low. You can’t go.”
As she spoke, she asked Chi Yu to take Xin Mian to complete the discharge procedures.
Chi Yu nodded knowingly, and half-pulled, half-pushed Xin Mian out of the ward.
The hospital is much busier during the day than at night, with people coming and going, and the elevator is stuck on the first floor and can't go up.
Xin Mian had been waiting for a while, so she tugged at Chi Yu's sleeve and said, "How about we take the stairs down?"
It's only on the 4th floor.
She had been lying in bed for so long and wanted to move around a bit.
"good."
The two walked side by side toward the stairs. Xin Mian was really curious, and after a few steps, she couldn't help but ask, "Wasn't Dr. Min on Wangshui Island before?"
Judging from her close relationship with Chi Yu and Chen Xiulian, they must see each other often. However, Xin Mian has been on Wangshui Island for almost half a year, but has never seen Min Shuyun.
“Yes,” Chi Yu nodded, “She was sent to Yuncheng for a year of exchange studies and only recently returned.”
I see...
Xinmian gave a soft "oh".
Min Shuyun's appearance reminded her that she seemed to have never heard Chi Yu mention his parents.
And she... never mentioned her parents to Chi Yu...
As I was thinking this, someone suddenly pinched the soft flesh of my cheek.
The two were already standing at the end of the corridor, where almost no one passed by, and Chi Yu did not restrain his actions towards her in the slightest.
He gently rubbed her dimple with his rough fingertips. "What are you thinking about so intently? You didn't even hear me talking to you."
Xin Mian was taken aback, and immediately asked, "What did you say to me?"
Chi Yu looked down at her, his gaze gradually becoming deep and unfathomable.
That look seemed to effortlessly reveal her deepest thoughts.
Xin Mian felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, so she lowered her eyelashes and avoided looking at him.
Chi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, then resumed his lazy and roguish demeanor. "I'm asking you, what do you want for dinner?"
Xin Mian pursed her lips and said softly, "Just eat something."
She didn't have much of an appetite.
After saying that, she tried to turn the doorknob on the stairs.
Seeing her like this, Chi Yu grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back into his arms.
“Xin Xiaomian, my family situation is not complicated.”
He suddenly became serious, "My mother passed away when I was young, and my father..."
He wanted to be honest with her about his situation; he had already mentioned his profession before, and now it was about his family.
But before he could finish speaking, a strange sound suddenly came from the stairwell just one door away.
A woman's slightly annoyed low shout rang out, "Lin Jiachi!"
You bit me hard!
That voice, that name...
Xin Mian's heart skipped a beat; she felt like she was witnessing her own friend's misfortune.
She had just heard that voice in the hospital room.
It was Min Shuyun's voice.
Xin Mian subconsciously looked up at Chi Yu, who appeared calm and composed, as if he was not surprised by the intricate relationship between Min Shuyun and Lin Jiachi.
The sounds in the stairwell were muffled, separated by a door.
Min Shuyun only had the chance to finish this one complete sentence; the rest of her voice was muffled and unclear.
But it only fuels the imagination.
Almost instantly, Xin Mian forgot what she had just been talking to Chi Yu about, and she also forgot where she was.
Her instinct to gossip prompted her to lean closer to the door, but before she could even get close, a large hand covered her head.
The man's expression was cold as he gripped her chin, forcing her to look up. "Did you like listening?"
"We'll kiss you when we get back, and you can hear it all you want."
Xin Mian's face turned bright red. She quickly slapped his hand away, took several steps back, and stared at him warily.
Chi Yu was even more annoyed.
"come over."
His tone was angry, but he didn't lower his voice. Xin Mian was afraid that the person behind the door would hear, so she immediately moved several steps and covered his mouth on tiptoe.
"Keep your voice down..."
Chi Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled coldly. He opened his lips, which had been covered, and took the soft flesh in her palm into his mouth, his tongue curling fiercely.
Startled, Xin Mian stepped back again, about to scold him for being shameless, when she heard Lin Jiachi's voice from behind the door, which was very low.
"How about we get back together?"
