Gu Qingqiu was already worried about Yan Shengxiao's health, and she hadn't been sleeping well these past two days. This time, she kept feeling like someone was watching her, which was a bit strange and awkward. However, the gaze wasn't malicious; it just made Gu Qingqiu feel uncomfortable, so she woke up quickly.
Upon opening her eyes, Gu Qingqiu was caught off guard and met Yan Shengxiao's somewhat deep pupils; both of them were startled.
"You..." they both began at the same time, then paused, and then spoke again simultaneously, "You go first..."
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with love.
Yan Shengxiao then chuckled softly, while Gu Qingqiu looked away somewhat embarrassed.
"What? You used to dare to steal kisses and hugs from me, but now you don't even dare to look at me?" Yan Shengxiao said with amusement.
Gu Qingqiu blushed and retorted confidently, "How would you know? Are you kidding me?"
Yan Shengxiao thought for a moment, but still considered the young bride's feelings, "Ah... I think I vaguely felt it in my dream, and looking at it now, it seems to be real, not an illusion."
Gu Qingqiu put her hands on her hips and said, "What's wrong with me hugging my husband? What's wrong with me kissing my husband?"
Yan Shengxiao said indulgently, "Okay, okay, it's nothing. You can kiss and hug me however you want."
Gu Qingqiu said with satisfaction, "That's more like it."
Both of them felt a surge of tenderness in their hearts. Although this was their first conversation, they felt a sense of familiarity and sweetness between them, as if they were a couple who had been together for a long time.
"Gurgle..."
Suddenly hearing her stomach growl in protest, Gu Qingqiu felt a little embarrassed. "It seems like it's lunchtime. Are you hungry?"
Yan Shengxiao shook his head. "Go eat, I'll wait for you."
"Okay, you have to be good here, okay?" Gu Qingqiu ruffled Yan Shengxiao's hair.
Yan Shengxiao actually nodded in agreement, thinking to himself, "Is the little bride treating me like a child? How adorable."
Gu Qingqiu activated the system as soon as she stepped out of the ward.
Gu Qingqiu: [System, could you please check my current experience bar progress?]
Male Protagonist System: [Host, your current experience bar progress is 80.1%.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Okay, and could you also check my remaining time?]
Male Protagonist System: [You have 298 days, 15 hours, 16 minutes, and 7 seconds remaining.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Okay, I understand.]
There is still enough time. Although I don't know what the basis is for the current increase in the experience bar, the experience bar has not stagnated for a long time, although the rate of increase in the experience bar during daily interactions has become very slow.
Because Yan Shengxiao hadn't eaten for a long time and had been relying on intravenous nutrition to maintain his health, it was obviously inappropriate to continue using intravenous nutrition now that he had woken up. However, it was necessary to proceed gradually and not to immediately feed him large amounts of meat and fish to replenish his body. Therefore, Gu Qingqiu thoughtfully bought Yan Shengxiao some congee and soy milk.
Not wanting Yan Shengxiao to stay alone in the ward for too long, Gu Qingqiu packed up her own meal and took it back to the ward.
When he returned, Yan Shengxiao was on the phone, his expression cold and serious. But the moment he saw Gu Qingqiu, his expression softened, like ice melting in spring, full of life and energy.
Knowing that Yan Shengxiao must have a lot of thorny issues to discuss, Gu Qingqiu didn't disturb him too much. She quietly placed the items on the small table by the bed and then looked at Yan Shengxiao quietly.
Yan Shengxiao reached out and grasped Gu Qingqiu's hand, stroking it as he continued talking on the phone, his eyes fixed intently on Gu Qingqiu.
Seeing that Yan Shengxiao had been on the phone for almost five minutes without stopping, Gu Qingqiu pinched Yan Shengxiao's palm hard as a signal.
However, Yan Shengxiao thought this action was more like a kitten scratching someone. It thought it was fierce, but it didn't hurt anyone and even looked cute to others.
So Yan Shengxiao said knowingly to the person on the other end of the phone, "My wife is calling me to dinner. I have something to do later. Go and do what I asked you to do earlier."
After saying that, Yan Shengxiao hung up the phone before the other person could react.
Wife... he calls me wife...
Gu Qingqiu hummed twice, trying her best to hide her shyness, her tone carrying a hint of coquetry and a slight complaint: "Workaholic, the porridge is getting cold."
"Okay, okay, let's eat first." Yan Shengxiao adjusted the position of his pillow. "Will you feed me?"
"You're pushing your luck!" Despite complaining, Gu Qingqiu still dutifully scooped up a spoonful of porridge, even thoughtfully testing the temperature with her lips before feeding it to Yan Shengxiao.
Yan Shengxiao seemed to enjoy it, but he still didn't have much of an appetite, so Gu Qingqiu only fed him a few bites before stopping.
Then Gu Qingqiu began to eat her meal under Yan Shengxiao's "loving" gaze.
It was the first time she had been watched eating like this, and she felt quite embarrassed, so she became more reserved in her movements. However, Yan Shengxiao kept urging her to eat more, saying that she was too thin now.
After we finished eating, the doctor came to make his rounds again.
The doctor's expression this time clearly showed that Yan Shengxiao's recovery was better than expected. The doctor said that he could be discharged after another week or two of observation in the hospital.
Yan Shengxiao disliked the smell of hospital disinfectant, so he decided it would be best to stay for only a week and then go home.
Gu Qingqiu felt embarrassed to keep asking the school for leave, so she asked Xiao Fang to help look after Yan Shengxiao during class time and also to keep an eye on whether Yan Shengxiao was overworking.
Yes, Gu Qingqiu had previously made a three-point agreement with Yan Shengxiao: he could only work on his laptop for a maximum of two hours a day, and his phone calls could not exceed half an hour a day. He had just woken up and needed to rest. He couldn't start working at a high intensity right away, or his body wouldn't be able to handle it.
