Instead, they chatted with the nurses at the nurses' station, leaving the two of them to their own private world. Let them indulge in their lovey-dovey antics! Whoever wants to eat, let them eat; we don't need to interfere!
Gu Yiming noticed that Jiang Hua had an IV line in her hand and it was inconvenient for her to eat, so he offered to take care of her and help her with her meals.
Jiang Hua glanced at the various snacks Ji Kexin had bought on the bedside table. She wasn't feeling very hungry, so she told Gu Yiming, "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat yet."
Jiang Hua was immediately proven wrong after saying that. Perhaps it was because the delicious food Ji Kexin bought smelled so good that it made her hungry. Jiang Hua, who hadn't felt particularly hungry before, started rumbling loudly as soon as she said she wasn't hungry and didn't want to eat. The rumbling was so loud that it seemed like you could hear it even standing at the door of the ward. Gu Yiming, sitting beside her bed, heard it clearly.
"Pfft." Gu Yiming couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard Jiang Hua's stomach rumble. However, Gu Yiming still tried his best to hold back and didn't laugh out loud, but the upturned corners of his mouth and the crescent-shaped eyes betrayed him.
Jiang Hua had rarely seen Gu Yiming smile before, and she never expected him to be so handsome when he smiled. He was even more handsome than that girl from their school, and ten times more handsome than those pretty boys on TV who were mediocre at singing and dancing and had terrible acting skills.
Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating Gu Yiming's profile. He seemed bathed in a soft, golden light, looking so gentle and handsome. Jiang Hua, who had just been blushing with embarrassment at her rumbling stomach, was completely mesmerized by Gu Yiming's suppressed smile. This icy face—if he always smiled like that, how many people would he charm?
"Alright, eat something. You just got rid of your fever, so you should eat something light. How about some plain porridge? Your friend Ji Kexin is quite thoughtful. You're lucky to have a friend like that. You still have an IV drip in your hand, so it's not convenient for you to eat. Here, let me feed you." Gu Yiming smiled and picked up the porridge from the bedside table, opening the lid of the container. He took out a small spoon from the plastic bag, held the container in his hands, carefully scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it to his lips, and then presented the spoon to Jiang Hua's lips.
Jiang Hua was a little exasperated. She was so old, yet she still needed to be fed; it was a bit ridiculous. But she was genuinely hungry, having not eaten anything since yesterday morning, only drinking half a cup of glucose given to her by the nurse, which Gu Yiming had then spilled all over the floor.
"How about I eat by myself? I only have an acupuncture needle in one hand, the other hand is fine. Look, look." Jiang Hua hesitated for a moment, and instead of opening her mouth to eat the porridge, she stretched out her right hand, which was not in a needle prick, and waved it in front of Gu Yiming to show that her right hand was perfectly fine and she could eat independently.
But Gu Yiming didn't care about any of that and stubbornly held the small spoon to Jiang Hua's lips. "Stop talking nonsense and open your mouth. Be a good girl. Ah~" Gu Yiming coaxed Jiang Hua to open her mouth and eat the porridge, just like he was coaxing a child to eat.
Jiang Hua looked helpless. "Fine, fine, I surrender." It wasn't a privilege many people had to endure for Gu Yiming, this iceberg, to condescend and feed them. So, she reluctantly opened her mouth and ate the porridge from the spoon. Gu Yiming scooped up another spoonful, blew on it, and then offered it to Jiang Hua's lips.
After chatting with the nurses for a while, Ji Kexin asked them for the time and, realizing it was getting late, returned to the ward. As soon as she entered, she saw Gu Yiming still sitting by Jiang Hua's bedside, spoon-feeding her the congee and side dishes he had bought for her. It was truly a case of being force-fed unpalatable dog food. Ji Kexin rolled her eyes but still went in.
"Jiang Hua." Ji Kexin called out to Jiang Hua as she walked towards the bedside. Jiang Hua also raised her head and looked at Ji Kexin.
"Kexin, what's wrong?"
"It's almost noon, and I should go back to school. I took the afternoon off yesterday. Don't worry, get some rest, and I'll go to the instructor to help you extend your leave."
"Okay, then. Thank you so much, Kexin. I really owe you a lot this time. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened." Jiang Hua gave Ji Kexin a grateful smile. "Then be careful on your way back. Gu Yiming is taking care of you, so don't worry. Go back to school with peace of mind."
"Okay, good. Gu Yiming, you must take good care of Jiang Hua." Ji Kexin picked up her coat from the foot of Jiang Hua's bed, put it on, and instructed Gu Yiming, "Jiang Hua just woke up not long ago and is still very weak, so you have to be careful. Don't let Jiang Hua run around, the doctor said she needs to rest."
"No problem, don't worry. Thank you for taking care of Jiang Hua." Gu Yiming nodded politely to Ji Kexin, his face still as icy as ever, but his expression softened when he thanked Ji Kexin for taking care of Jiang Hua.
After Ji Kexin left, Gu Yiming fed Jiang Hua spoonful by spoonful of porridge. Then he helped Jiang Hua lie down and said he was going to buy some water and would be right back.
As soon as Gu Yiming left, Jiang Hua suddenly remembered what had happened a couple of days ago—the time someone posted on the forum accusing Jiang Hua of being ungrateful. When Gu Yiming returned, Jiang Hua mentioned it to him.
After listening, Gu Yiming sneered coldly, "Heh, this guy probably forgot his brain when he went out."
Jiang Hua looked at Gu Yiming's serious expression and burst out laughing. "Hahahaha, Gu Yiming, it's so funny when you suddenly become serious."
Gu Yiming was annoyed by Jiang Hua's laughter, but seeing how happy Jiang Hua was, he couldn't help but smile and his eyes curved into a charming arc.
Half an hour later, Jiang Hua's IV drip was finished. Jiang Hua asked the nurse if there was anything else she needed to be careful about. After giving her some instructions, the nurse told her that her fever had completely subsided and she was fine. Jiang Hua then insisted on being discharged from the hospital.
Gu Yiming initially disagreed with Jiang Hua's discharge from the hospital, wanting her to rest a little longer. However, he couldn't persuade her otherwise. Reluctantly, he completed the discharge procedures for Jiang Hua, took her to her dormitory, and bought her a large amount of appetizing and easily digestible fruit along the way.
