Chapter 75 Chapter 75 "You might be a cuckold."...
It was three days later when Shen Xingchuan regained consciousness. He looked at the pure white ceiling in confusion, not knowing why he woke up in such a strange place.
His last memory was the night he got his marriage certificate with Yao Yingxia. He was so happy that his friends got him drunk, and his memory after that became blank.
Shen Xingchuan could only feel that his physical condition was very bad, because he had a splitting headache, his throat felt like it had been cut open, and his stomach was aching.
There seemed to be a hint of alcohol on his skin. Could it be that he had been soaked in a wine barrel?
Shen Xingchuan closed his eyes again. When the stabbing pain in his skull subsided a little, he was about to sit up when he felt a sharp pain in his chest again and immediately fell back onto the pillow.
It happened that Nie Yuan came to visit today. The nurse discovered that he had woken up first and quickly comforted him, saying, "Mr. Shen, please don't move. I'll call the doctor." After that, she pressed the call bell.
How can it be so serious?
He had only had a few drinks.
Shen Xingchuan stared blankly at the IV bag beside him and the needle connected to the back of his hand. He had always been in very good health since he was a child. He had rarely had a headache or fever, not even a cold. But this time, his condition was so serious that he had to be hospitalized.
Soon a team of doctors came to check on him and explained his condition in detail. Shen Xingchuan was stunned after hearing the whole thing. He pressed his solar plexus and still found it unbelievable. Logically, he would not be such a tactless person.
After a long silence, Shen Xingchuan looked at Nie Yuan and asked, "Where's Xia Xia?"
"Ms. Yao started school today and flew back to City S last night."
Seeing his boss's disappointed look, Nie Yuan added, "Ms. Yao has been taking care of you in the hospital for the past two days. She refused to go home at night and insisted on staying here."
Shen Xingchuan felt a warmth rising in his chest, and the intense pain there seemed to be relieved a lot. He didn't even react, and a smile that was a little too simple appeared on his face.
Xia Xia really cared about him, otherwise why would she care about him so much and take care of him day and night? Xia Xia was far from being as heartless as he imagined.
She is his wife.
Shen Xingchuan turned on his phone and found that Yao Yingxia had informed him that she was safe after arriving in City S: "I got off the plane."
An hour later, he sent another message: "Arrived at the dormitory."
The last message was at midnight: "If you wake up, remember to let me know you're safe. Listen carefully to the doctor and wait until you're fully recovered before being discharged. Your health is more important than work."
Shen Xingchuan watched and laughed, his mind full of "My wife is so nice", "My wife cares about me so much", "My wife seems to have fallen in love with me".
Getting the marriage certificate was a good decision, and everything seemed to be getting better.
Remembering that Yao Yingxia asked him to report that he was safe, Shen Xingchuan turned on the camera of his mobile phone. He originally wanted to send a selfie to prove that he was awake and let his wife see him, but the man on the screen was really disgusting.
Shen Xingchuan had never seen himself look so ugly. His lips probably had many blisters on them, which later dried up. Not drinking water for a long time caused his lips to crack, forming terrible cracks. In addition, he had sunken eye sockets, untidy beard, and his hair was deformed by pressure. He looked really terrible.
Seeing his boss's mood fluctuating, Nie Yuan said with caring concern: "Mr. Shen, are you thirsty? Would you like some water?"
But the boss answered the question irrelevantly and asked directly: "Am I ugly now?"
Nie Yuan felt the corner of his mouth twitching, and he tried his best to maintain a calm expression: "You are just sick." It seems that he is seriously ill.
When Shen Xingchuan thought about how ugly Xia Xia had seen him in the past two days, he felt very uneasy and his heart ached again. It seemed as if a voice said in his ear: She didn't love you in the first place, and now that you are old and ugly, she will love you even less.
Nie Yuan saw his boss collapse on the hospital bed and hurried over to check: "Mr. Shen, are you okay? Do you want to call a doctor?"
He covered his eyes with his arms and said, "Please find me a cosmetologist."
Nie Yuan: “…”
The boss seems to have damaged his brain due to excessive alcohol consumption, and it is unknown when he will be able to return to normal.
He took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Yao Yingxia: "Mr. Shen has woken up and everything is fine. I am very happy to see your message."
Not long after, Shen Xingchuan's phone rang with a message. He was in no mood to read it, but Nie Yuan finally reminded him, "Could it be from Miss Yao?"
He finally pulled his arm away from his eyes and opened WeChat with a gloomy expression. He hadn't held out much hope, but it turned out to be a message from Yao Yingxia: "Are you still awake? I'm worried about you."
Shen Xingchuan felt like he was alive again, and his fingers typed quickly: "Wife, I just woke up." Feeling that this message seemed a bit too corny, he finally deleted the name of his wife and changed it to Xia Xia.
Yao Yingxia quickly replied to his message: "Does your mouth still hurt? Remember to drink more water."
After she and Xiao An made him drink a bottle of white wine, a circle of blisters quickly appeared around his lips, perhaps due to anger or some other reason. Yao Yingxia felt her scalp tingling when she saw it.
What was even more terrifying was that not long after, Shen Xingchuan turned pale, covered his abdomen in pain, and then began to vomit blood.
Yao Yingxia thought Shen Xingchuan was really going to be killed by her, and she instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Although she had wished Shen Xingchuan dead countless times when she was forced into desperate situations, when the time came, Yao Yingxia realized that she had not hated him to that extent.
Compared to her bewildered look, Xiao An was obviously much calmer: "Don't be afraid, sister. It's probably gastric bleeding. As long as you seek medical treatment in time, it won't be a big problem."
Two people immediately sent him to the hospital. Shen Xingchuan's blood alcohol concentration was frighteningly high. Fortunately, it turned out to be just as Xiao An expected, a serious gastric bleeding. After surgery overnight, he was out of danger.
Shen Xingchuan sent a tearful emoji: "Xia Xia, my mouth hurts."
"Blow it and it won't hurt."
He didn't expect Yao Yingxia to coax him like a child. His heart felt sweet at first, but then turned extremely sour. He was completely turned upside down by her.
Before Shen Xingchuan could calm down, he saw she sent him a two-second voice message.
When he brought it to his ear, he heard "whoosh" and "whoosh" sounds.
Shen Xingchuan's heart almost melted.
Nie Yuan was really scared when he saw his boss's eyes filled with tears. He handed him a wet towel from the cabinet beside him and said, "Mr. Shen, your lips are bleeding."
He smiled so hard that it tore the wound again.
Perhaps because he had drawn enough strength from Yao Yingxia, Shen Xingchuan recovered his spirit almost instantly. He felt that his headache was gone, his stomach was no longer uncomfortable, and although his heart was still aching slightly, it didn't seem to be a big deal. He immediately asked Nie Yuan to bring over the work in the company that urgently needed his attention.
Nie Yuan tried to stop him: "You just had surgery, the doctor recommended that you rest more."
Shen Xingchuan shook his head: "I don't have time to rest. There are so many things to do in the company. If I don't deal with them quickly, how can I have time to accompany Xia Xia?"
Nie Yuan couldn't help but sigh that this was the ultimate love brain. He had no choice but to bring Shen Xingchuan's computer over.
That afternoon, several assistants took turns to be on call at the hospital and brought him the documents that needed approval. Shen Xingchuan even participated in two remote meetings and was busy until sunset. He only lay back in bed after being persuaded by the doctor.
Judging from the time, Yao Yingxia should have just finished class and was on her way to the cafeteria. I wonder if she will have to go to evening self-study later.
My thoughts somehow went back to the day they got their marriage certificate. Yao Yingxia was radiant, looking more beautiful than ever. Her voice trembled slightly as she said to the staff at the registration center, "It's voluntary."
My heart suddenly started to hurt for no apparent reason.
It was clearly a very happy day, why does my heart ache when I think about it?
Shen Xingchuan called a doctor and decided to do a detailed heart examination. He was still so young, but he was already afraid of death. Shen Xingchuan didn't want Yao Yingxia to become a widow, and he knew she would never remain a widow for him.
After dinner, Yao Yingxia went for a walk in the playground alone. After thinking it over, she decided to make a video call to Shen Xingchuan, even though she really didn't want to face him now.
The call was connected almost immediately, but the person on the other end didn't show their face. Yao Yingxia asked knowingly, her tone relaxed, "Why are you only showing me your chin?"
Shen Xingchuan's voice was dull and sounded a little weak: "I don't look good."
Yao Yingxia smiled and said, "It's okay. I won't dislike you."
She looked so gentle, and under the cover of the night and in the dim light of the street lamps, she had a dreamy beauty.
He didn't know why, but he wanted to cry, and even felt a little breathless. After calming down for a while, he finally adjusted the angle of the phone and this time only looked at her eyes: "Xia Xia——"
He hesitated to speak, frowning slightly.
Yao Yingxia's alarm bells instantly rang, and she casually asked, "What's wrong?"
Those eyes looked very confused, like a lamb: "The doctor just checked my heart and said I have a disease called 'broken heart syndrome'."
This sounded like a disease that only appeared in Mary Sue literature. Yao Yingxia had never heard of it, but she also knew that Shen Xingchuan would not joke about such a thing, so she simply opened the browser and searched it.
Such a disease actually exists. According to relevant information, broken heart syndrome is an abnormal myocardial contractile function caused by strong mental stimulation. Left ventricular angiography will show ballooning. Patients usually have symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, it may cause shock.
Yao Yingxia didn't expect him to be so provoked. She said stiffly, "I just did some research and it says this disease can heal on its own without any sequelae."
Shen Xingchuan nodded. "That's what the doctor told me too. It's not a serious illness." Then his eyes grew hollow. "I just can't understand. I was so happy the day we got our marriage certificate. Why am I so 'heartbroken'?"
She was glad that she was in a place with insufficient light, otherwise Shen Xingchuan would have noticed that her face turned pale in an instant.
Yao Yingxia clenched her palms, trying to remain calm, and said calmly, "Yes, you were very happy that day. Could it be that you were drunk and had a nightmare?"
"Probably." Shen Xingchuan could only lean towards this possibility. After all, that was the happiest day of his life.
I don’t know if it was because Yao Yingxia mentioned the word “nightmare”, but from that day on, Shen Xingchuan was haunted by nightmares every night.
He always dreamed that Yao Yingxia was being intimate with different men, including his friends, his subordinates at the company, the hateful Shen Qingyuan and other men who had been close to Yao Yingxia, and even a male doctor whom he had only met once.
The intimate scenes in the dream always took place on a sofa. Yao Yingxia had her back to him, shamelessly riding on his thighs. Her fair skin formed a sharp contrast with the black sofa, giving him a sense of absurdity that went beyond dreams.
In his dream, Shen Xingchuan felt furious, yet helpless. It was as if his hands and feet were bound by something, unable to interrupt the torture or utter a single sound, and he could only be a pathetic bystander.
Later, Shen Xingchuan was even tortured to the point that he dared not sleep. He was so afraid that as soon as he closed his eyes, he would uncontrollably see Yao Yingxia being intimate with other men.
Due to severe lack of sleep and the chest pain symptoms that did not ease, Shen Xingchuan was forced to extend his hospitalization and had to make an appointment with his psychologist to meet in the hospital.
After hearing his description, the other party frowned, his expression quite meaningful: "You mean, you dream every day that your wife is intimate with other men, and you can only watch from the side?"
Shen Xingchuan nodded with difficulty: "This has seriously affected my daily life and caused me a lot of trouble. It was never like this before, but since we got the marriage certificate-"
He really didn't know what was wrong with him, so he could only put all his hopes on his psychiatrist: "Doctor Hu, please save me."
This was the first time Mr. Shen was so polite. Dr. Hu was a little flattered. He looked away awkwardly and said his own conclusion: "Mr. Shen, you may have... um... some unique hobby."
Shen Xingchuan didn't react for a moment: "What did you say?"
Relying on the good cooperative relationship over the years, Dr. Hu simply said: "You may have a cuckold fetish."
The air in the ward seemed to be frozen. Shen Xingchuan's face changed from white to red, from red to black, and finally became extremely ugly.
His chest suddenly began to rise and fall violently uncontrollably. The next second, he pulled out the needle from the back of his hand, jumped off the bed, and picked up the quack doctor from the ground: "Bullshit!"
