Chapter 158 You still say I don't like you? It's clearly you who don't like me.
After a sleepless night, Sang Ning almost overslept the next day.
She quickly washed up and got ready, then hurriedly left for school.
Then she opened the door, and as soon as she stepped out of the house, she was startled by the person standing by the door.
The man, wearing a thin shirt, sat lazily against the wall, his right knee bent and his elbow against the wall, his head resting on the wall, his eyes closed.
Could it be that he... stayed out all night?
Sang Ning stared at Jing Muchi in astonishment, hesitating whether to ignore him, when she noticed an unusual flush on his tired face.
She was a little worried, so she finally squatted down and gently pushed his arm.
"Jing Muchi?"
The man struggled to lift his eyelids, and the moment he saw Sang Ning, his bloodshot eyes held a look of both surprise and grievance.
"You finally opened the door for me?"
Sang Ning heard that his voice was so hoarse that it sounded somewhat distorted.
"you……"
She had barely opened her mouth when the man suddenly pulled her into a hug, burying his face in her neck, his words slurred and incoherent, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I apologize, please don't send me away..."
Sang Ning felt that his skin pressed against hers and his breath on her neck were unusually hot.
She struggled to reach out a hand and touch his forehead.
The temperature was extremely hot.
"You have a fever?"
Sang Ning looked anxious and quickly helped the man into the house, laid him on the sofa, and covered him with a blanket.
"Wait a moment, I'll call Assistant Xu to come and take you to the hospital."
"I don't want to."
The man reacted strongly, sitting up abruptly and pulling her into his arms, holding her tightly. "I'm not going anywhere, don't even think about kicking me out again."
Sang Ning said helplessly, "You have a fever, you need to go to the hospital."
Jing Muchi looked up at her expectantly, his expression a mix of coquetry and pleading, "Then come with me. I want you to come with me, not anyone else."
Sang Ning tried to break free from his burning embrace, but failed after a couple of attempts.
"I still have to go to work."
Before she could say anything more, the man's eyes immediately reddened. "You say I don't like you? It's obvious you don't like me. I'm sick, and you don't even care about me. You don't care about me at all."
Hearing his accusations, Sang Ning's heart trembled, and she suddenly remembered the time she fell ill two years ago after her grandfather passed away.
That night she suddenly developed a high fever and was in a daze. He discovered she was sick when he returned from abroad late at night and called the family doctor.
Afterwards, he personally stayed by her bedside, taking care of her without taking off his clothes, until the next day when her fever subsided and she regained consciousness, at which point he finally lay down to rest, exhausted.
Sang Ning snapped out of her daze and looked at the man in front of her who was so feverish that he couldn't speak normally and looked extremely fragile. Her heart softened immediately.
"Okay, I'll go to the hospital with you."
A while ago, Jing Muchi gave her a car, but she refused it. So he hired a driver for her, but Sang Ning had never used it before. Today was the first time she called the driver.
The driver brought the car downstairs five minutes later.
On the way to the hospital, Sang Ning called the school to ask for half a day off and communicated with two teachers to reschedule his morning classes to the afternoon.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Jing Muchi's temperature continued to rise, and the doctor recommended that he be hospitalized.
When the doctor asked Sang Ning about the cause of his fever, Sang Ning awkwardly told the doctor that he had spent the night outside and had slept in the living room for several days in a row.
After hearing this, the doctor couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
That look in her eyes was as if she were accusing her of abusing her husband.
"It's the changing season now, and you young people really... even the best bodies can't withstand this kind of strain," the doctor said. "This is no joke; it could easily lead to infection and complications."
After hearing this, Sang Ning felt both worried and guilty.
She didn't know Jing Muchi would be so foolish as to stay outside all night.
Last night, she looked through the peephole and saw no one, so she assumed he had left.
"Doctor, what's his condition now...?"
"His condition has fluctuated a bit, but fortunately he is young and in good health. As long as his fever subsides, there shouldn't be any problems."
Sang Ning stayed with Jing Muchi in the ward all morning. He was on an IV drip and felt drowsy, but his other hand was still unconsciously holding Sang Ning's hand tightly.
It was as if he was afraid she would leave while he was asleep.
Sang Ning sat on the edge of the bed and saw that his handsome face still had a sickly redness, but his lips were pale. He was asleep, but his sword-like eyebrows were still slightly furrowed, as if he was somewhat uneasy.
Thinking back to how he had held her tightly the whole way here, like a clingy big dog, Sang Ning felt a mix of emotions.
By noon, Jing Muchi's fever had subsided, and he had woken up.
After a while, Xu Hui brought lunch to the two of them.
After lunch, Sang Ning said that Xu Hui should stay with her in the afternoon, as she had to go to work.
Upon hearing that she was leaving, the person on the bed instantly turned pale.
"Aren't you going to stay with me?"
“Your fever has subsided. The doctor said you need to have two more tests done this afternoon, and if everything is fine, you can be discharged,” Sang Ning said. “I still have two classes to teach this afternoon.”
Jing Muchi looked dejected and said, "Couldn't you have taken half a day off to come with me to the checkup?"
Sanning, "..."
She genuinely had no idea that he was so delicate when he was sick.
"Let Assistant Xu accompany you," Sang Ning said, her tone softening.
Jing Muchi couldn't keep her from going to work, so he could only compromise, "Then come to the hospital to keep me company when you're done with your work, okay?"
His attitude was different from before, when he did whatever he wanted in a domineering and capricious manner. Instead, he seemed to be cautiously seeking her opinion.
Meeting his eager gaze, Sang Ning pursed her lips and said softly, "Okay."
*
afternoon.
Sang Ning taught two classes in a row.
It was almost five o'clock when I arrived at the hospital from school.
Arriving at Jing Muchi's ward, she pushed open the door and went in. But when she looked up, she found that there was no one on the bed. Instead, a plump, elegant woman dressed in jewels was sitting on the sofa next to her.
When the other person looked over and saw that it was her, their displeased expression darkened. Sang Ning's body stiffened abruptly, and even the hand tightly gripping her bag trembled slightly.
But then she realized that she was no longer the subservient daughter-in-law of the Jing family, and she forced herself to calm down.
"Madam Jing."
She still greeted him politely.
Jing's mother suddenly stood up and walked over, looking her up and down with a mixture of wariness and disdain. "What are you doing here?"
Before Sang Ning could speak, she coldly reprimanded, "I warned you that you are not allowed to contact A Chi for any reason other than getting the divorce certificate. Do you dare to ignore my words?"
