Chapter 240 Let Me Sleep for Another Five Minutes
Mu Nanyan's eyes flashed with the expression on Lu Yiran's face when he said this in the morning, and her fingertips unconsciously stroked the armrest of the sofa.
"Well, let everyone have a good rest and resume work tomorrow. We won't make them run back and forth today."
Zhou Ruxuan was slightly surprised when she heard her calm tone:
"You're too calm, aren't you? Could it be... you already knew about this?"
Mu Nanyan said "hmm" softly without further explanation.
Zhou Ruxuan on the other end of the phone said "Oh" meaningfully, and she quickly changed the subject to discuss the work arrangements after resuming work.
After hanging up the phone, Mu Nanyan stared at the sunlight outside the window in a daze.
The phone screen went dark, reflecting her slightly furrowed brows. She reached out to smooth her brows, but she couldn't smooth out the mess in her heart.
Was Lu Yiran's help this time out of responsibility, or...
——————
When Tang Yutong got up in the morning, she saw the message Chu Ci sent her last night on her phone and couldn't help but frown.
What's wrong with this guy? Instead of getting some rest in the middle of the night, he's actually getting up to play games.
She had to meet a client in the morning and had not contacted Chu Ci. After she met the last client, she realized that this place was quite close to the hospital, so Tang Yutong thought about going over to see Chu Ci.
After what happened yesterday, Tang Yutong didn't dare to buy food for Chu Ci anymore, for fear that he wouldn't be able to eat it. So she simply went online to find some dishes suitable for concussion patients, and specially chose a high-end restaurant with a good reputation.
Tang Yutong didn't know what was wrong with her. She usually didn't want to go to the restaurant, but she bought food there just for Chu Ci without blinking an eye, and she even ordered several dishes in a row.
"I want a spinach and pork liver soup, yam and lotus root egg custard, steamed sea bass, mushroom and rapeseed, plus two servings of rice, all to go."
"Okay, please wait."
Tang Yutong waited for about half an hour before all the dishes were ready. When the waiter handed her the exquisite take-out box, she took it carefully, fearing that the soup would spill.
After paying the bill, Tang Yutong drove towards the hospital.
Tang Yutong stood in front of the VIP ward door and knocked.
“Dongdongdong——”
Tang Yutong waited outside for a long time, but there was no sound from inside. Then she knocked on the door again.
“Dongdongdong——”
Still no response...
"Could it be that he went for a checkup?"
She muttered, tentatively pushing the door open.
Tang Yutong put all the bought dishes directly on the coffee table, and then walked towards the ward inside to see if there was anyone. As soon as she walked in, she saw a ball covering the bed. Tang Yutong didn't expect that it was noon now and Chu Ci was still sleeping.
She walked over quietly, ready to scare Chu Ci. When she reached the bedside, she could see clearly how Ci was sleeping. He was hugging the pillow with his whole body, holding it in his arms with his hands and feet, with half of his face buried in the soft pillow.
Tang Yutong had just seen this sleeping position when watching videos a couple of days ago. From a psychological point of view, this is a typical manifestation of lack of security.
When Tang Yutong saw him like this, she suddenly felt a little reluctant to scare him, because she suddenly remembered the sadness that flashed across Chu Ci's eyes, which always smiled, when he talked about his mother.
How sad would that child be who lost his mother at a young age?
Tang Yutong could sense that although Chu Ci usually looked carefree and seemed to be able to chat with anyone, he was actually a very thoughtful person who cared deeply about other people's emotions...
Tang Yutong took a deep breath, suddenly reached out and pinched Chu Ci's nose, and said in a deliberately rough voice:
"Get up, Mr. Chu, the sun is shining on your butt!"
Chu Ci frowned, waved his hands in a daze to try to push her away, and muttered incoherently:
"Stop making trouble...let me sleep for five more minutes..."
"How long have you been sleeping? Hurry up and get up, or the food I bought will get cold soon."
Tang Yutong said this and pushed him, trying to wake him up.
However, Chu Ci remained unmoved. How could eating be more important than sleeping? He simply turned over, facing away from Tang Yutong, and continued to sleep without paying any attention to her.
Seeing this, Tang Yutong frowned subconsciously. Is it still impossible to wake him up?
"If you don't get up, I'll go eat by myself. If you're hungry in the afternoon, you can figure it out yourself."
Tang Yutong was about to leave when she spoke. Chu Ci heard her voice and said reluctantly:
"What did you buy me?"
"Steamed sea bass, pork liver soup, and yam and egg custard—anyway, they're all suitable for someone with a concussion like you."
Tang Yutong folded her arms and looked down at him.
"But if you don't get up soon, I'll eat it all by myself and you won't get a single bite."
Chu Ci finally struggled to sit up, his hair sticking up in a mess, and he squinted at her:
"Tang Yutong, you came to the hospital in the middle of the day just to tempt me?"
To be honest, Chu Ci was actually a little hungry. He had eaten all the fruit last night, and had digested it long ago...
Tang Yutong rolled her eyes. "What else? Am I here to be your caregiver?"
Chu Ci chuckled, slowly got out of bed, and stretched:
"Alright, since you're so sincere, I'll do you the honor of having dinner with you."
"Oh, then thank you very much."
Tang Yutong smiled falsely and turned to walk towards the living room.
"Hurry up, don't dawdle. Don't blame me if the food gets cold and tastes bad."
Chu Ci followed behind her, dragging his feet lazily, but he refused to let her go:
"Miss Tang personally delivered the meal, how could I dare to object? But..."
He glanced at the exquisite takeout box on the coffee table. He recognized the takeout boxes from this restaurant. He had been there several times before with several ex-girlfriends. The food was delicious, but the price...
"You were so upset every time you ate at such a high-end restaurant before, weren't you? Why are you suddenly so generous today?"
Tang Yutong felt a little guilty, but still maintained a calm appearance and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Mr. Chu is a big client of our company after all, so I must take good care of you."
Hearing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but teased:
"Now you know I'm your big client? You didn't have this attitude when you woke me up before."
Tang Yutong looked at him coldly and said threateningly:
"Do you want to eat?"
It must be said that Tang Yutong's serious look was really a bit intimidating. Chu Ci thought that Tang Yutong was angry, so he quickly shut up and stopped teasing her. He said seriously:
"eat."
Tang Yutong then restrained his expression, sat on the sofa and began to unpack the box.
She opened the lid of the box and placed the items one by one on the coffee table. Then she handed a box of rice and chopsticks to Chu Ci:
"Eat it quickly, it will get cold soon."
