Chapter 48 Knocking on the Door Late at Night
Seeing that his expression relaxed a little, Meng Shuyue's eyes lit up, and she quickly sat down beside the bed and continued to persuade him patiently.
"Do you remember when you were in that tree, like a koala, and I just..."
Meng Shuyue touched her belly as she spoke, hinting to him that the baby in her belly was actually his.
Unexpectedly, the man in front of him just calmly picked up the enamel cup, drank some water, rinsed his mouth, and then spit into the trash can.
Seeing that he didn't react, Meng Shuyue continued to speak bluntly, "So, the baby in my belly is actually you..."
Shen Jinxiao glared at her, abruptly interrupting her mid-sentence.
Meng Shuyue was so frightened that she quickly protected her mouth with her little hands, fearing that he would keep his word and kiss her again to punish her.
But how could she know Shen Jinxiao's psychological activities? At this time, Shen Jinxiao was afraid to hear the words "the child is his nephew" from her mouth.
He lifted one side of the quilt, changed the subject with a sullen face, and said, "Your face looks black from the cold. How about getting into bed and warming yourself up?"
Meng Shuyue's face suddenly turned dark red, "This... This is not good! Wait until the uncle next door comes back."
"It's okay, you can leave when he comes back."
Shen Jinxiao spoke calmly, but the back of his ears turned red.
The lights in the ward went out.
Meng Shuyue nestled in the man's broad arms, the man's hot breath sprayed on her neck, making her feel itchy and hot.
Her whole body was stretched straight, not daring to move.
"You...you're not going to vomit on me?"
Meng Shuyue's mind was in a mess, so he had to bring up a random topic to break the silence.
The man behind him suddenly laughed, "Don't worry, no matter how uncomfortable I am, I won't vomit into the bottom of the pot!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Meng Shuyue raised her fist and hit the man behind her, but the man caught her fist under the quilt.
Her little fist was still strong just now, but in the blink of an eye it was wrapped by a big palm. The scorching heat from the dry palm almost melted her fist and burned all the way into her heart.
Shen Jinxiao leaned over to look at her, and the hand around her neck touched her dark face, which was covered with dust.
He stared at her with burning eyes, and his hoarse voice was particularly bewitching in the quiet night, "Would you like to move back to the Shen residence? We are husband and wife, and we should live together."
"Of course, if you don't want to live in the house, you can live with me in the military family compound."
Meng Shuyue felt the man holding her hand and placing it gently on her belly, and her eyes widened.
The scene of the collapse on that day when I cried out to heaven and earth but got no response, and watched helplessly as the flood surged under the tree branches appeared in my mind again.
What would happen if I lived with him?
There was a knock on the door just in time.
Meng Shuyue broke free from the man's restraints as if she had been pardoned, slipped out of the man's arms and got off the bed, "This... let's talk about this later."
After saying that, she ignored Shen Jinxiao's reaction and hurriedly ran out of the door.
The uncle in the next bed was left alone, shivering with cold, standing outside the door with a look of regret on his face, as if he had done something terribly wrong.
In the ward.
Shen Jinxiao touched the place beside him where the woman's body temperature was still there, his expression was indescribably lonely, and his heart sank when he saw the thermos bucket on the table that the woman had not taken away.
It seems that she still can't forget her fickle nephew.

All night.
Meng Shuyue tossed and turned in the attic of the newly opened Chinese medicine clinic.
When she thought about her damned husband asking her to live in the staff quarters, she became so scared that her legs went weak.
If she didn't know what kind of person he was, she would probably agree quickly.
But now she knew that he was not only strong but also energetic, so she dared not live with him.
Just before, when that guy told her that he was suffering from insomnia and vomiting, she was shocked when she felt his pulse and saw that it was growing wildly like weeds.
If she really went to the dormitory and lived with him, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
Moreover, he lost his memory and forgot that the child was his. Wouldn't she be unable to keep the baby in her belly?
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on her back.
Suddenly, the wooden door of the Chinese medicine clinic downstairs was banged.
Because Meng Shuyue had a big belly, she wore a loose nightgown at night. She quickly put on a coat and climbed down the stairs connecting the attic to the ground.
I almost fell down because of my anxiety.
She held her belly in fear and shouted as she walked, "Do you want to see a doctor? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"I'm vomiting so much, Shuyue, open the door quickly!"
Originally, Meng Shuyue was afraid that it was unsafe for a woman to open the door in the middle of the night.
But when she heard the man's voice at the door, Meng Shuyue was so frightened that her heart almost fainted.
Why doesn't this man stay in the hospital when he's sick, but comes to her in the middle of the night?
"Open the door quickly, Shuyue, hi..."
The man at the door seemed to have vomited again.
It's already this late.
Meng Shuyue could not care less. She looked through the crack in the door and saw the man leaning against the door and vomiting all over. She could only open the bolt, move the wooden board and open the door.
She went out and hurriedly helped the man in, poured him a glass of water from the thermos, then turned around and closed the door.
Shen Jinxiao held the warm enamel cup, and the chill he had just felt from walking all the way from the hospital in the middle of the night disappeared completely.
He had been tossing and turning in the hospital just now and couldn't sleep. He felt annoyed when he thought about the fact that he had just asked her to live with him in the dormitory of the family compound.
If Meng Shuyue went to live in the staff quarters, she would know that he was the uncle of the three bastards from the Song family. Then she would definitely hate the whole family and ignore him.
So, he hurried over overnight to retract what he had just said.
Shen Jinxiao held the steaming enamel cup in his hand and saw that she was wearing plastic slippers, with the small part of her calf exposed trembling quietly due to the cold. He inexplicably felt a sense of guilt.
"I'm sorry to bother you so late. Why don't you go lie down on the bed."
Meng Shuyue waved his hand, put on his coat tighter, and quickly got a flashlight from the table. He came close to him and said, "Stick out your tongue and let me see. I felt your pulse this morning and there was nothing wrong with you. Why are you vomiting so much?"
"Hurry up, open your mouth wide, ah..."
"ah……"
Shen Jinxiao opened his mouth wide, watching the woman's smooth, white face gradually grow bigger in his eyes. Her big eyes, with distinct black and white, with the tails tilted upward, stared at his throat without blinking. He felt that the heart in his chest that had grown legs and was jumping up and down wildly was about to jump out of his throat and die in her pair of seductive eyes.
"The tongue coating is nothing. When did you have these symptoms? When was it the most severe? When will it get better?"
Meng Shuyue turned off the flashlight and casually placed his hand on the wrist holding the enamel cup to take his pulse.
She leaned forward, closed her eyes and listened carefully to the pulse, and unconsciously the round collar of her nightgown dropped down.
Shen Jinxiao followed her gaze and also shifted his gaze downwards. When his eyes touched the woman's loose collar, his head exploded with a buzzing sound.
