Chapter 69 It's rare for Ranhuo to act coquettishly towards him.
The bathroom door was flung open, and Xin Mian slumped onto the floor tiles, gripping the edge of the sink tightly, trying to steady herself.
But her eyes were unfocused, and when she saw Chi Yu run in, she stared blankly at him.
After a long while, I finally saw him clearly.
“Chi Yu…”
Chi Yu's heart skipped a beat. He bent down, picked her up, and carried her back to the bed.
Where did you fall?
"Does it hurt? Where are you hurt?"
He was so nervous that he pretended to lift her clothes, but Xin Mian quickly stopped him, "I'm fine... I just had a little low blood sugar."
She had slept for so long, and the tonsillitis that came with the cold, along with the cramps from her period, all "triggered" the moment she stood up. She couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Chi Yu arrived just in time.
Chi Yu zipped up her coat and pulled up the hood. "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital."
But Xinmian didn't want to go.
She lazily hugged his waist and whispered coquettishly, "Don't go, okay? I don't want to go."
She was so tired that she didn't want to move at all.
I just want to stay at home and lie down.
She rarely acted coquettishly towards him, and Chi Yu felt somewhat helpless. He could only help her take off her coat again and tuck her into the blanket.
"I'll make you some brown sugar water, and I'll have my cousin come over and take a look at you later."
Xinmian nodded obediently, hugging the warm quilt, and watched him walk out of the room to the small living room to boil water.
After a while, Chi Yu returned, carrying a tray.
On top was a cup of brown sugar water and a small bowl of glutinous rice porridge with eggs and red dates, emitting a faint sweet aroma.
"Have some porridge first, then drink the brown sugar water."
She hasn't eaten anything since last night, except for that glass of water she drank in the middle of the night.
Ke Xinmian had no strength; she didn't even have the strength to sit up.
She covered her stomach with her hands under the covers and gently shook her head, "I don't want to eat, I don't have the strength..."
Chi Yu placed the things on the bedside table, leaned down and kissed her forehead, his voice incredibly gentle, "You don't need to exert any effort, I'll feed you, you just need to move your mouth and chew."
Xin Mian was amused by his three words "chew, chew, chew," and nodded weakly with a pale face.
Chi Yu sat up against the headboard, pulled her into his arms, and then pulled the blanket up to keep her warm.
The egg and glutinous rice porridge was freshly cooked by him; it was a little hot, but the temperature was just right for Xinmian, who was feeling quite unwell at the moment.
The porridge contained red dates and sugar, and the sweetness was adjusted to her liking.
She liked it very much, and she finished the whole small bowl with the spoon he fed her.
Once the bowl was empty and she had regained some strength, she remembered.
How did you know to make egg and glutinous rice porridge?
They even put red dates inside.
Chi Yu took out a wet wipe and wiped her mouth. "I called Grandma to ask."
Chen Xiulian went to the senior citizens' association to participate in an activity. When she received a call from Chi Yu, she wanted to come back, but he stopped her. So she recounted the whole story over the phone.
Chi Yu was naturally intelligent, so learning these things was not difficult for him. In addition, he knew Xin Mian's tastes, so even a simple bowl of egg and glutinous rice porridge could be made to her liking.
“Chi Yu…”
She was feeling unwell and became unusually clingy. After he finished speaking, she turned around and hugged his neck.
"Um."
He caught her steadily, enjoying her initiative to get close. "Are you still feeling unwell?"
"A little."
She looked much better than before, but her lower abdomen still ached slightly, and her throat was still uncomfortable.
After she finished drinking the brown sugar water, Chi Yu handed her the straw from the thermos to clear her throat and let her taste the sweet flavor.
Xinmian nestled in his arms, enjoying his "service" with a clear conscience.
What time did Little Dimple wake up this morning?
Around 7 o'clock.
The two spoke in hushed tones, "You took those two siblings to school?"
"Otherwise what?" He smiled, raising his hand to touch her cheek. "She even stole a few kisses from you."
He only stopped when he caught him red-handed.
Xinmian covered her lips and laughed in his arms, but the laughter made her lower abdomen hurt even more, so she frowned and snuggled deeper into his arms.
Seeking the warmth of his broad body.
Chi Yu kissed her lips, then slipped his large hand under the covers, his palm about to cover her lower abdomen, when the phone on the bedside table rang.
It was a call from Min Shuyun; she was downstairs.
Chi Yu went downstairs to pick her up, and Min Shuyun was carrying a first-aid kit on her shoulder.
Upon seeing Xin Mian lying on the bed, she chuckled and teased in a low voice, "It's like I got to play the doctor in this domineering CEO short drama for once."
Xinmian blushed deeply after being teased by her.
The sky outside is a bit overcast; it looks like it's going to rain again soon.
Now that you mention it, Min Shuyun does indeed resemble a doctor in a short drama who gets dragged out of bed by a domineering CEO in the middle of the night to go to work.
“She has a neck injury,” Chi Yu said, ignoring her teasing and focusing on explaining Xin Mian’s current condition. “Her throat is sore, and today is the first day of her period, so she has a stomachache and low blood sugar.”
With these symptoms piling up, Xinmian looked sickly and listless.
Min Shuyun took her temperature and did a simple check-up.
Did you have menstrual cramps before?
Xin Mian shook her head, "It was okay before, I would feel uncomfortable, but never this bad."
Are your menstrual cycles regular?
"It used to be stable, but this month it started more than a week earlier than usual."
Min Shuyun put away her stethoscope and noticed the injury on her neck. "How did you get that injury on your neck?"
Her brows furrowed tightly, and her gaze swept towards Chi Yu.
Just as Chi Yu was about to speak, Xin Mian grabbed Min Shuyun's hand and hurriedly explained, "It was Li Rui who did it."
However, after speaking, she realized that Min Shuyun might not know about Li Ruifa's affairs.
Although Min Shuyun had been away from Wangshui Island for a long time, she still knew roughly what kind of person Li Ruifa was. As soon as she heard Xin Mian say this, she immediately understood.
That bastard!
Xinmian said softly, "Don't worry, cousin, they've already applied the medicine."
"And he wasn't much better..."
I wonder how much longer I'll have to stay in the hospital.
Min Shuyun nodded. "These past few days, your emotional fluctuations have caused your period to come early and you've been experiencing menstrual cramps. Also, your throat injury, although not serious, still requires careful care."
"I'll prescribe some medication that can be taken during menstruation. You must eat a light diet recently, and avoid spicy and cold foods."
"good."
Xinmian nodded obediently.
After seeing Min Shuyun off, she took her medicine and went back to bed.
Chi Yu also got into bed, sat against the headboard, and pulled her into his arms.
Xin Mian turned over in bed and asked softly, "Aren't you going to the internet cafe?"
He placed a kiss on the top of her head. "We're not going today."
"Sleep a little longer?"
Xinmian nodded and then shook her head.
She had slept for too long and wasn't sleepy at all, but her body was very tired and she didn't want to move at all.
So I reached for my phone on the bedside table and lay in his arms to play on it.
Since arriving at Wangshui Island, she has added many WeChat official accounts related to Wangshui Island and tourism. Every time she opens WeChat, she receives a notification saying that there will be a fireworks show on New Year's Eve.
Seeing her watching intently, Chi Yu asked in a low voice, "Want to see the fireworks show?"
“I think so,” she said, her gaze falling on the lines in the WeChat public account post that listed the best viewing spots, “but it will definitely be very crowded then.”
Wangshui Island is usually quite popular with tourists on weekends, let alone on New Year's Eve.
It will definitely be packed with people.
"Then let's go to the top of the mountain to see."
"Um?"
Xin Mian looked up in surprise, "What do you mean?"
Do you still remember Qingfeng Mountain?
"Remember."
It was the mountain where he took her for a ride on his motorcycle.
"There's a hot spring resort on the mountaintop with a great view."
Xinmian was very interested. "Okay! Shall we invite Tiantian and the others to come along?"
Spending New Year's Eve with friends sounds so exciting!
Chi Yu's face immediately darkened.
He wanted to spend New Year's Eve alone with her.
But seeing the dimples that appeared when she smiled with great interest, I couldn't bear to shatter her expectations.
Lazy pinched her cheek. "Okay, then let's invite them along."
Xin Mian immediately messaged Qin Shengtian privately to confirm that Qin Shengtian was taking a break during the New Year's period before sending a message to everyone in the 5-person group chat.
After sending the message, she logged onto Xiaolvshu (a Chinese online bookstore) and found another business order coming in, so she started chatting with the other party seriously.
The room was quiet. The French windows weren't closed tightly, and a breeze was blowing in through the cracks, causing the curtains to flutter.
The sky outside was overcast, with low, gray clouds, as if it were about to rain at any moment.
It felt as if you could sense the chilly weather outside, even through the glass.
Chi Yu leaned against her from behind, placing his palm on her lower abdomen and gently stroking it.
The man's palm was broad and warm, and the remaining discomfort was quickly relieved.
Xinmian couldn't help but lean back, and the two of them became even closer.
He planted a few kisses on the back of her neck, watched her fingers tap rapidly on her phone screen, and chuckled softly.
Xin Mian felt a little ticklish from his breathing and propped herself up on her elbow. "What are you laughing at?"
“I wasn’t laughing at anything,” he tightened his long arm, pulling her back the tiny distance that had been pulled away. “Baby is very charming when she’s working.”
He could tell that she was very good at negotiating necessary conditions with the other party, and she was not stingy in fighting for her due compensation and reasonable treatment.
Xin Mian felt a little embarrassed by his praise and pressed the button on her phone.
That's perhaps the advantage of this job.
She can confidently and boldly express her demands and opinions even through a screen.
If it were face-to-face, she probably wouldn't be able to do it...
After finishing their work discussion, she rubbed her eyes. Just then, Chi Yu's phone rang.
She glanced over instinctively, and the note seemed to read "Officer Wang".
Chi Yu didn't leave; he just sat by the headboard and answered the phone.
They were so close, it would be difficult for Xinmian not to hear.
After Chi Yu hung up the phone, she looked up at him and asked, "Do you want to apply to remove Li Ruifa's guardianship?"
The room was silent. Chi Yu paused for a few seconds, then replied in a low voice, "Yes."
Xinmian didn't understand any of this, but just hearing about it made her feel that it was very difficult.
Chi Yu pressed his fingertip against her slightly furrowed brow, kissed her cheek, and said in a lazy voice, seemingly unconcerned, "You don't need to furrow your brow like that."
"But it sounds like it would be very difficult."
The termination of guardianship is a major issue that cannot be accomplished with just a few words.
“It is difficult,” Chi Yu said. “We still need to discuss this with Li Ke and prepare all the materials.”
Li Ruifa's past records of being detained for domestic violence, drunken disorderly conduct, gambling, and other reasons will all serve as evidence.
But these alone are far from enough.
What will happen to Xiaoliwo and Li Ke after his guardianship is revoked?
Finding suitable candidates to become their new guardians is something that needs careful consideration.
