Although the IV drip contains some nutrients, it is only used to maintain basic vital signs.
Xie Zhiyan is having difficulty eating, but if there is a way to get him to eat more, it would be much better than just sitting here and waiting to die.
Shu Ying felt grateful. The doctors in the military hospital were more professional, and the jobs there were basically secure.
Therefore, doctors and nurses tend to be more accommodating.
"Thank you, I'll go get some water now."
While there aren't many people visiting Xie Zhiyan yet, she needs to replace all the water in the thermos with spiritual spring water.
The nurse opened the window of the ward, and fresh air rushed in from outside, finally making the small room less stuffy.
Shu Ying held a thermos in her hand and glanced back at Xie Zhiyan lying on the hospital bed.
He remained motionless, as quiet as a doll, causing Shu Ying's heart to clench tightly.
There weren't many people in the water room. Shu Ying waited until the last person who needed water left before entering her space to fill it with spiritual spring water.
"This must be Chief Xie. I've heard he was very resourceful and brave on the front lines, but I didn't expect him to be so good-looking."
When Shu Ying arrived at the ward door with the water bottle, she heard two people talking. She paused slightly and glanced inside.
The two nurses who changed Xie Zhiyan's dressing were quite young.
"Being good-looking is useless; they're already married. Outstanding people often marry young. How many people in the military are ugly? Even if someone isn't good-looking, years of training should have instilled in them a strong sense of integrity."
Another nurse, holding the medicine, nodded thoughtfully: "What you said does make some sense."
She picked up a cotton swab from the side, dipped it in the drinking water, and gently wiped it on Xie Zhiyan's lips.
Shu Ying carefully pushed open the outer door and placed the kettle in front of the bedside table.
"I'll do it."
Her voice was very soft. The nurse glanced at her and, perhaps because she had never seen such a beautiful person before, was stunned for a moment.
Shu Ying's eyebrows were curved like willow leaves. She was dressed in very simple clothes, but her whole body exuded exquisiteness, as if she had stepped out of a painting.
The young nurse was momentarily stunned. Shu Ying assumed she was just worried and explained, "I'm a medical student. I studied at a medical university before. Surgery is my forte, and I also know some basic nursing knowledge. He's my husband, so naturally I won't try to be a hero. You can rest assured and leave him to me."
Shu Ying always spoke with an inexplicable power that inspired confidence. The young nurse nodded somewhat blankly. She was so beautiful. Chief Xie was truly blessed.
She inexplicably gave what she was holding to Shuying.
The two exchanged a glance and politely withdrew.
Shu Ying replaced the ordinary drinking water with the spiritual spring water from the thermos, dipped a new cotton swab in the water, and gently wiped Xie Zhiyan's lips.
"I thought you would have changed after not seeing you for so long, but you are basically the same as I remember you. Everyone says the front lines are tough, but I haven't received a single letter from you in all these years. Xie Zhiyan, people say a letter from home is worth a fortune, so why is your handwriting so precious?"
Shu Ying's voice was soft, like the sound of bells in the rain, with a Jiangnan accent, but not overly coquettish.
“I have written you so many letters, but you have not replied to a single one. The two children are hoping for their father to come back every day. I really have no way to explain this to them.”
In the quiet ward, only Shu Ying could be heard sighing softly as she pulled up a chair and sat down.
"When I told Yueyue I was going to bring my two children to see you, she was so happy. Although Yangyang was not satisfied, he has the same personality as you. He looks decisive and resolute, but he is actually the softest-hearted."
Shu Ying recounted the events that had happened over the years with great familiarity.
The children grew up very quickly, looking different almost every day, and Shu Ying made a point of taking many photos of them.
“I think you should wake up soon. We can’t let the children stay without a father. Yangyang may not say it, but he really wants to see you.”
Even for the sake of the children, please be strong and get through this illness.
Shu Ying looked up at the IV drip, which contained some fever-reducing medication. Xie Zhiyan's forehead was no longer so hot.
Looking at the prescription on the IV drip, she could instantly recognize the function and contraindications of each medication, thanks to muscle memory from her school days.
Without being immodest, her Western surgical skills were highly proficient.
As a result, she has loved traditional Chinese medicine since she was a child, and she used to learn a lot from the old Chinese medicine doctor in the neighborhood office.
But the old man had passed away a long time ago, and now she no longer has a good learning environment or anyone to teach her.
Fortunately, she acquired a lot of ancient books this time, including many related to traditional Chinese medicine. Shu Ying thought that if she had the talent, she should be able to learn something just by reading the books on her own.
She switched to a smaller cup, poured some water from the thermos, and carefully slipped one hand under Xie Zhiyan's neck, helping him sit up slightly.
Xie Zhiyan's mouth was very dry, even though it had just been wiped with water from a cotton swab.
But within seconds, another layer of skin peeled off his lips.
Shu Ying knew he was feeling very unwell, so she could only try to give him some water to drink.
Shu Ying poured the water into the cup in small sips, but Xie Zhiyan was completely oblivious. Every time Shu Ying poured in a small sip, he would spit out more than half of it.
After maintaining this position for a few minutes, Shu Ying's arms started to ache, and she began to feel anxious.
More and more people will come to visit Xie Zhiyan soon, and it's not a good idea for him to not eat or drink anything.
Thinking of Wang Zhande's tearful appearance, Shu Ying felt extremely frustrated. How could such a big man not be able to control his emotions?
As fate would have it, speak of the devil and he appears.
"Sister-in-law, how is the commander doing now? Has he woken up yet?"
Wang Zhande was still outside the ward when his voice came in first.
When he and Qi Zecheng opened the door and came in, Shu Ying was carefully putting down the pillow so that Xie Zhiyan could lie down and rest.
She turned her head and calmly met Wang Zhande's gaze: "The doctor said his condition has just stabilized, but we don't know when he will wake up. We can't have too many people disturbing him right now."
She looked at Wang Zhande, whose eyes were red like a wronged little wife, and added, "The doctor also said that visitors should try to control their emotions, otherwise they will be affected by what he senses."
Wang Zhande covered his mouth with both hands, nodded with some difficulty, and said in a choked voice, "I know, I know, thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
Shu Ying: ...
They were quite polite, though.
