Chapter 67
Both of them were trying to sort out their emotions, and by the time they had calmed down, they were both exhausted.
Xia Ruirui went to the door to get a lunch box and disinfectant, then handed the lunch box to Shen Yuqing, while she sat on the sofa and opened the disinfectant.
She asked someone to buy the food and disinfectant, and left the notes directly at the door without knocking.
Fortunately, Shen Yuqing stopped twisting his head and took the lunch box and ate it quietly, which also gave Xia Ruirui time to disinfect her knees.
Although she had prepared herself mentally, she still couldn't help but flinch when the wound came into contact with disinfectant.
But she didn't dare make a sound, she just bit her lip and held it back.
After the disinfection was completed, Xia Ruirui opened her lunch box and prepared to eat.
She glanced at the dishes, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, the combination was very balanced, but it was not to her liking. She couldn't help but poke the rice with disposable chopsticks.
She ate absentmindedly, but Shen Yuqing, who was holding the chopsticks beside her, paused.
That was a little trick that only Xia Ruirui would do. She was picky about food and would do this every time she saw a dish she didn't like.
But it could also be a coincidence, and Shen Yuqing is not very sure.
Because he was thinking about something, he had no idea what dish he was putting into his mouth.
Plus, because he couldn't see, he ate very slowly.
When he was halfway through his meal, Xia Ruirui had already finished. Half full, she leaned on the sofa, watching Shen Yuqing eat with a comfortable look on her face.
Watching handsome guys eat is indeed a pleasure.
Because she didn't have to worry about being caught, she kept staring at his face the whole time, without any taboos.
The next second, he looked over coldly, his eyes still lifeless, but with an oppressive aura.
He didn't stop looking at her until Xia Ruirui looked away embarrassedly.
After finishing their meal, the two began to do their own things. Shen Yuqing was in a daze, while Xia Ruirui was tracing embroidery patterns.
When she works, she subconsciously enters a flow state and rarely pays attention to Shen Yuqing.
When she came out of the toilet, she noticed that Shen Yuqing had never used the toilet once.
She glanced at him and found that he had only eaten the meal and did not drink a single sip of the warm water she had placed beside him.
Guessing that the other party didn't want to ask her for help to go to the toilet, Xia Ruirui felt a little funny.
She took a sunflower from a vase beside her and handed the flower end to him.
He ignored her, so she kept shaking the sunflower in her hand as if she was teasing a cat.
Shen Yuqing felt offended, frowned, and reached out to grab the sunflower.
He was about to ask her what she was going to do, but he felt someone pulling him forward at the other end.
He subconsciously wanted to let go, but then he heard the young man speak again: "If you don't hold on, I will grab your hand."
Shen Yuqing's eyebrows never relaxed, but he still held them tightly.
Because he was worried about breaking the flower stem, he held it loosely and just followed the guidance of the shotayin and walked forward.
The fear of not being able to see forced him to grope with his hands every step he took.
But there was nothing around, and he didn't want to touch her, so he held Sunflower's hand tighter.
The young man walked very slowly, as if deliberately considering his feelings, and even explained to him: "Move your right hand down a little, that's the bedside table, and there's a water cup on it."
Under her guidance, Shen Yuqing really touched something hard. He stroked it with his hand and found that it had the texture of wood.
If you move your hands to the right, you will see a cup of warm water.
In a world of complete darkness, there was no color in his world, only endless darkness.
Although he knew he was in a ward, he didn't know what color the hospital gown he was wearing was, nor did he know what color the sofa in the ward was.
But on this day, there was a touch of yellow in his world.
Shen Yuqing tightened his grip on the stem. Just now, when that young man stretched the flower in front of his eyes, he smelled the scent of sunflower.
In the endless darkness, the only ray of light was the sunflower in his hand.
The flower growing towards the sun is now held at the other end by a woman who might be Xia Ruirui.
I can’t really describe my mood, it’s just a bit complicated.
He hoped that the person opposite him would be Xia Ruirui, Shen Yuqing thought.
"Twenty steps to the right is a wall, and ten steps further is a small window."
Shotaone's voice was very close to him, as if she was always by his side.
Shen Yuqing held the sunflower in one hand and touched the wall with the other. He felt more at ease when he touched the real thing.
Shotane walked to the right, and he followed behind her, not too far away, and the distance between them was always the size of a sunflower.
"This is the toilet. The toilet is here, and the flush button is on your right."
She always remembered his taboo and did not touch him the whole time. She just gently pulled the sunflower to tell him the direction.
She was like a racing driver's pilot, explaining everything to him in detail.
After coming out of the bathroom, she followed the same route and brought him back to the bedside.
She told him the layout of the ward, including the color of the sofa and how to close the windows, but she didn't tell him where the door was.
When the two returned to their previous positions, Shen Yuqing sat on the edge of the bed and Xia Ruirui stood in front of him.
She let go of the sunflower in her hand, but Shen Yuqing did not let go and put it aside.
He didn't say a word the whole time, and Xia Ruirui thought he didn't hear anything, so she wanted to test him.
She picked up the sunflower beside his bed, put it back in the vase, and sat down not too far from him.
Shen Yuqing noticed that she took the sunflower away and felt a little depressed.
It's like a child hiding a toy and then having it taken back by an adult, feeling a little depressed.
However, the young boy still refused to give in, as if he would keep nagging unless he spoke.
"Let me test you. What's that thing about ten steps to your right?"
Shen Yuqing was still a little dissatisfied. She took the sunflower back, pursed her lips and kept silent.
However, Xia Ruirui mistakenly thought that he had forgotten and wanted to take him to do it again.
Feeling the other party's perseverance, Shen Yuqing felt helpless and opened his lips slightly: "Sofa."
Xia Ruirui wanted to get up and pick up the sunflower, but she paused. She turned back to look at him with surprise in her eyes and subconsciously praised him, "Good baby."
“…”
Shen Yuqing opened his lips slightly, but in the end said nothing.
After that, the two of them returned to a state of not disturbing each other.
Xia Ruirui played a movie, Shen Yuqing leaned on the bed, and she was half lying on the sofa.
The two of them watched the movie silently without saying a word. The only sound in the ward was the sound of the movie itself.
This movie was specially selected by Xia Ruirui. It has a Douban score of 8.9 and is said to be one of the must-see movies for couples.
She had originally collected it and planned to watch it with Shen Yuqing. Although there was an accident in the middle, the two of them watched it together after all.
Because of this accident, no one had a good New Year.
It was not until the sound of firecrackers rang out outside that Xia Ruirui realized that today was still the first month of the lunar year.
The sound of firecrackers continued one after another, and even this deserted ward was filled with a bit of New Year's festive atmosphere because of the lively sound of firecrackers outside.
The movie just reached the scene where the male protagonist confessed his love to the female protagonist. He almost choked up when he looked at her:
"No matter what you become, I will still love you and regard you as my only wife."
Watching the two protagonists hugging each other and kissing passionately, Xia Ruirui's heart became extremely determined.
Despite the extremely sentimental plot of the protagonist's reunion and firm confession of love, she didn't shed a single tear.
It’s not that she is so insensitive, but when she decided to approach Shen Yuqing again in Beiyi, she had already made up her mind.
She wanted to be with him forever, even though Shen Yuqing was now disabled, but how could she give up on him just because of such a small matter.
Although he was the one who proposed the breakup, Xia Ruirui, who always liked to solve problems by escaping, was unusually firm this time for some reason.
It seemed that she felt that she and Shen Yuqing had a very frustrating New Year, not even having the New Year's Eve dinner, so she urgently placed an order on the errand runner and ordered ten dishes in one go.
After the runner brought the meal, Xia Ruirui and Shen Yuqing began to eat the New Year's Eve dinner in silence.
He didn't ask her why she ordered so many dishes and remained silent.
Perhaps because the festive atmosphere outside was too strong, he actually took the initiative to talk to her:
"It's New Year's Day, why don't you go spend time with your family?"
Xia Ruirui looked at the message sent by her mother, which was a photo of their family of three having New Year's Eve dinner.
She smiled and sent her a Happy New Year emoticon, then turned off her phone and looked at someone who rarely spoke to her.
"My family is abroad." She made up a reason without asking Shen Yuqing.
Unexpectedly, he caught my mistake: "Why don't you ask my family?"
Xia Ruirui naturally knew that he had no other family members except his aunt.
But how could a caregiver who had only known her for one day know all this? Shen Yuqing asked this, obviously testing her.
When Shen Yuqing called her Xia Ruirui in the morning, she was already on guard and would not easily reveal her true identity: "I don't like to pry into other people's privacy."
Seeing that he didn't get the answer he wanted, Shen Yuqing felt a little disappointed.
Maybe it was because the sound of firecrackers outside was too loud, but for the first time, he asked her, "I want to go out."
He couldn't see how pitiful he looked now, but Xia Ruirui could see it, and she couldn't bear to reject him again.
Instead, he made a request to him: "I can push you out, but you have to agree to one thing I ask."
"What do you want?"
"You can't run away." When saying this, Xia Ruirui always had the illusion that she was acting out forced love.
“…” Shen Yuqing pondered for a moment and agreed to her.
He was wearing too thin clothes. Xia Ruirui found his hat, gloves and scarf from the things she brought from his apartment and handed them to him, indicating that he should put them on himself.
Shen Yuqing did not refuse and put it on obediently. He sat in a wheelchair and Xia Ruirui pushed him from behind.
The further away from the inpatient department, the colder it became, so she pushed him to the hospital's small garden.
The air still smells of gunpowder smoke from firecrackers. It's so cold that even your breath creates fog.
Shen Yuqing stopped the wheelchair and indicated that he wanted to get off and walk around.
Xia Ruirui also stopped. Knowing that he didn't like others touching him, she asked him to hold on to the other side of the wheelchair.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, not too late, but there were not many people in the small garden.
In the dark night, only the street lights on both sides of the road were on, and two people walked forward with different thoughts in their minds.
She walked slowly because she was worried that he couldn't keep up.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Shen Yuqing reaching out his hand towards her. She was a little surprised but did not stop him.
She stopped, and Shen Yuqing stopped too.
Two people stood in the garden, with fine snowflakes falling from the sky from time to time. It should have been a romantic scene in a movie, but only one person could see it.
As if in slow motion, Xia Ruirui watched Shen Yuqing touch her hair.
In the darkness, his hands looked exceptionally white.
She watched in silence as he quickly pulled his hand back after touching her ear-length hair.
Then his attitude turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye: "I want to go back."
She guessed what he wanted to verify and knew the reason for his change of attitude.
But because she was worried that he would drive her away after knowing it was her, she still chose to hide it from him.
Xia Ruirui's eyes were slightly red, and she pretended to know nothing and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yuqing's tone froze instantly, as if he had returned to the morning when they first met. He said indifferently, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
Her voice was a little hoarse: "It's okay."
The two returned to the ward, and Shen Yuqing slowly took off his hat and scarf.
He felt the texture of the hat with his hands, his voice sounding somewhat lonely: "Who gave you this hat and scarf?"
"A very beautiful woman gave it to me. She said it was yours." She had already thought of the wording early on.
Shen Yuqing was silent for a while: "...How does she look?"
Hearing this, Xia Ruirui's eyes turned red, but he couldn't see anything standing in front of her: "Not bad."
He nodded and said nothing for a long time, but when she thought he would not speak again, he spoke again: "I won't fire you, but I need to make a call now."
"good."
When Xia Ruirui agreed to him, she had already guessed who Shen Yuqing was going to call...
