Chapter 70
“Mr. Shen, your girlfriend is so nice to you and she is so beautiful.”
Although he didn't know why the other party mentioned Xia Ruirui here, Shen Yuqing was distracted and still sat in the wheelchair she pushed.
The young nurse pushed him forward and said as she walked, "You and your girlfriend have a really good relationship."
"Every time you walked ahead with a cane, feeling your way, she would follow behind you with an extremely gentle expression on her face."
Hearing this, Shen Yuqing also realized that she had recognized the wrong person and mistook that Zheng Taiyin for Xia Ruirui.
Although he didn't know what Shotane looked like, every time he went to the hospital garden, he could hear the elderly people nearby praising her for her good looks.
But no matter how pretty she is, she is not his Xia Ruirui.
The smile on his lips faded a little, and he explained lightly: "She is not my girlfriend, she is a nurse in the hospital, haven't you seen her?"
"Nurse? How is that possible?" The young nurse thought he was lying because he was afraid of his relationship being exposed. "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I won't tell anyone."
Hearing this, Shen Yuqing repeated again: “She is really not my girlfriend.”
The young nurse was a little skeptical when she heard this, and said half-doubtfully, "Didn't you come to take care of Miss Xia when she was hospitalized for hemorrhoids last time?"
"Aren't you guys boyfriend and girlfriend yet?"
She seemed to be just saying it casually, but Shen Yuqing reacted greatly when he heard it.
He held the wheelchair with his hands, his whole body stiff for a moment, but he just asked tentatively: "Do you think she looks better with long hair or short hair?"
The young nurse said without hesitation: "Miss Xia was indeed stunning with long hair, but she looks pretty good with short hair now."
Shen Yuqing didn't say anything, but a wave of shocking waves rose in his heart...

When Shen Yuqing returned to the ward, she had already arrived, and he could still smell the scent of navel oranges in the air.
His thoughts were in a mess, but he just said calmly: "You are here."
"Yeah." Xia Ruirui handed him the peeled fruit pulp. "I got drunk yesterday and got up a little late."
Shen Yuqing didn't say anything. He reached out and groped to take the orange from her hand, and touched her palm as if unintentionally.
Because he didn't like physical contact with others, even though the two of them had been together in the ward for several months, they still felt that physical contact was rare.
Even if he did, it was an accidental touch through her clothes. This was the first time he touched her hand.
Just with this one touch, he was sure that she was Xia Ruirui.
She has been afraid of cold since high school. In winter, her palms are like ice, so cold that they have no temperature.
That's why she carries a hot pack in her hand every day. She always forgets to bring napkins, but she never forgets to bring the hot pack.
A cold breeze blew through the ward, and Xia Ruirui shivered and said, "It's so cold."
Shen Yuqing looked at her and asked calmly, "I'm cold too. Do you have a hot pack?"
She was stunned for a moment, and after a rustling sound, a warm heat-seal bottle was placed on his cheek.
"Here, for you."
Shen Yuqing sat on the edge of the bed, feeling the warmth on his cheek, feeling both amused and helpless.
She often teased him like this when they were in school, and now that he was blind, she still did the same.
What made him sigh was that he had been kept in the dark about the other party's poor acting skills for so long.
Although he had doubts at the time, he instantly dismissed the idea when he touched her short hair.
Because he knew that Xia Ruirui loved her long hair very much, but he didn't expect that she would cut her hair short.
She had been with him for several months, and he wondered how Gu Zijin could do such a stupid thing as to give her 200,000 yuan in one go.
I guess it was just an excuse she made up.
Xia Ruirui on the other side noticed that something was wrong with him and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, looking a little proud, but he didn't expose her: "Nothing."
“…”
In the evening, the attending doctor came to review Shen Yuqing's condition and removed the gauze for him.
Although he still couldn't see, he subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands when he encountered strong light.
Xia Ruirui also very considerately helped him draw the curtains: "Is this better?"
"Um."
Shen Yuqing took his hand away, and the two of them returned to the silence they had at the beginning.
He was secretly enjoying the tranquility of being in the same space with her, while Xia Ruirui was thinking about the next strategy.
The attending physician just said that he can be discharged from the hospital. His condition is the same whether he stays in the hospital or goes home to rest.
All they need to do is come to the hospital after someone donates their cornea.
But matches with donors are rare, and there are so many people waiting to receive a donation.
Some people may wait their entire lives and still never find a suitable donor.
It would be better to stay at home and recuperate, but if Shen Yuqing was discharged from the hospital, how could he allow her to follow him to his house to take care of him?
But she was worried about letting Xia Ruirui leave him alone at home.
She had been thinking since last month, what to do after he removed the gauze?
She was still racking her brains for a solution when Shen Yuqing, who was standing opposite her, spoke up: "Please help me pay the annual hospitalization fee. The bank card password is 0218."
Xia Ruirui was pleasantly surprised to hear this, but also a little confused: "You're going to live here for a year, why don't you go home?"
She was secretly proud of herself, wondering if she had taken too good of a care of him, making him somewhat dependent on her.
The tone of Shen Yuqing on the opposite side was a little indifferent: “The food here is not bad.”
Hearing this, Xia Ruirui's eyebrows jumped and she looked at him suspiciously.
The food here tastes like shit, how can it be good?
But Shen Yuqing wanted to continue to be hospitalized, which was exactly what she wanted, so she endured not complaining, took the bank card from his hand, and went to the inpatient department without looking back.

Xia Ruirui had just returned from paying the bill when she heard a noise in the bathroom. She glanced over and found that there was no one on the bed.
Realizing that he was taking a shower, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She continued to sit on the sofa with her legs crossed, watching the fantasy drama she had just become addicted to two days ago.
It is adapted from a novel by online writer Siyue Maotu - "Being Targeted by the Qingleng Immortal Lord".
It tells the story of a slacker female protagonist, Luo Nanshu, who fails in her attempt to seduce the sect's senior brother and eventually transforms into a god.
The opening scene is - the heroine wants to force herself on the eldest senior brother.
She was watching with great anxiety when she heard the sound of something heavy falling in the bathroom, followed by a muffled groan.
She was startled and thought something had happened to Shen Yuqing inside, so she rushed over and banged on the bathroom door.
Hearing her knock on the door, his voice was still calm: "Don't come in, I'm fine."
He seemed to be trying to get up on his own, but not long after, the sound of him falling to the ground was heard again.
Xia Ruirui was completely anxious, and regardless of his obstruction, she violently opened the toilet door.
"What’s wrong with you……"
Before she finished speaking, she looked at someone lying on the ground, wrapped only in a bath towel. She instantly lost all her arrogance and stared at him blankly.
"Get out." There was no anger in Shen Yuqing's voice, but only a hint of helplessness.
His change of clothes also fell to the ground and were all wet.
Xia Ruirui went out to find a new set of clothes and knocked on the door as if nothing had happened.
"Come in."
"I got you a new set of clothes." she said embarrassedly.
She thought he was fully dressed, but when she came in she found he was still only wearing a bath towel around his waist, with beads of water all over his collarbone.
"Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
"How can I wear my clothes when they're all wet?"
“…”
Xia Ruirui didn't know if she had heard it wrong, she always felt that his voice had some inexplicable flirting.
She didn't know what was wrong with Shen Yuqing recently. He always teased her vaguely, like a male vixen in the deep mountains and old forests.
But she didn't like this feeling in her heart, which made her feel that Shen Yuqing had betrayed his feelings for her.
In his eyes, she was just a caregiver who took care of his daily life and was paid for the job, but he treated her differently now.
He had no idea that she was Xia Ruirui, but he unknowingly developed different feelings for her.
This made her particularly painful.
But no matter how painful she was, she would still be uncontrollably aroused by him and her heart would beat faster.
She handed him a clean change of clothes, then closed the door and sat back on the couch.
Chen Yuqing was still changing clothes in the bathroom. Xia Ruirui was half lying down watching TV series, but she felt a little itchy on the philtrum of her nose.
She touched it and felt blood coming out of her nose.
“…”
She looked at the red mark on her finger and felt a little disappointed.
She was still wondering whether the blood from her nose had dripped onto his clothes when she saw the bathroom door being opened from the inside.
Then a man wearing only a sweatshirt and trousers came out. The most eye-catching thing was the few drops of blood on his chest.
She stared at the bloody nose for a long time, feeling a little embarrassed, but she didn't know how to ask him to change it.
It was obvious that he had just changed out of this suit.
Xia Ruirui could only pretend not to see it and said something else: "You're done washing."
"yes."
She tried several times to pour water on him and ask him to change his clothes, but she failed every time.
It wasn't until the doctor came for his routine ward rounds in the evening and saw a few drops of dark red marks on his collar that he thought it was his blood.
He frowned and asked the family member beside him, "What's going on? Is the patient bleeding?"
Shen Yuqing also looked in her direction with his lifeless eyes.
Xia Ruirui pursed her lips and said stubbornly, "I guess the weather is too dry, so I have a nosebleed."
Shen Yuqing pondered for a moment after hearing this: "I didn't bleed from my nose."
The doctor was about to examine him when he heard this, but Xia Ruirui stopped him: "...I had a miscarriage."
The doctor blinked, still not reacting: "Why is your nosebleed on his collar?"
Xia Ruirui: “…”
There was a clear look of surprise on Shen Yuqing's face, as if he had realized something. He curled his lips and said nothing, but the expression on his face was somewhat intriguing.
"Just seeing her wearing a bath towel made my nose bleed."
The attending physician, who always had a tendency to make up stories, said: "......!!!"
After the doctor left, Xia Ruirui opened the small window in the ward to ease the embarrassment: "The weather is too dry. I need to ventilate occasionally, otherwise I will easily get a nosebleed."
She thought Shen Yuqing would remain silent as usual, but she didn't expect him to speak this time.
Still agreeing with her: "You are right."
Xia Ruirui remained silent, but in her heart she was roaring: 'It's not what you think! ! ! !'
