Chapter 164 I'm going back
"Well, let me see you!" Tian Xin responded with a smile: "Didn't you tell me yesterday that you can move now?"
"Then you should have told me in advance, I... Oops..." He took a look at the messy room and himself, quickly pulled the quilt over and wrapped himself up.
Tian Xin smiled and looked at his face which turned red instantly, a little confused.
This guy actually has this side to him. Seeing her in this state, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"No...it's okay! Sit down first!"
"Oh!" Tian Xin saw that he was looking away, so she didn't ask any more questions. She picked up the book he was reading and asked, "Why did you want to read a book? And a reference book like this?"
It is not only a reference book, but also a sales reference book.
This type of book is boring and no one would read it unless they are in the sales industry. The books usually contain some sales strategies and practical cases. For those who work in the sales industry, referring to some theory and adding practice can really help them get started quickly.
"Oh, boring, just killing time!" Zhang Shuai said casually.
"It's good to learn something. It might be useful in the future. But, can you understand it?"
"It's okay. There's nothing to do right now anyway. I have to kill some time. It's too uncomfortable to lie here all day!" Zhang Shuai supported himself with his hands and sat up higher, adjusting to a comfortable position.
Tian Xin put down the book and looked at him carefully. Zhang Shuai seemed to have lost weight, his cheeks had become thinner and his chin looked pointed.
"How have you been lately? Have you eaten well? Have you slept well?"
"Okay, everything is OK!"
Zhang Shuai's eyes were wandering, dodging left and right, as if he didn't dare to look at her.
"Are you okay?" Tian Xin pulled him by the ear and turned him around: "Why do I feel like you've lost weight these days? Where's Auntie?"
Since she came in, she hasn't seen Zhang Shuai's mother. Zhang Shuai is the only one in the ward, and the nurse is not there either.
"Why are you here alone? Why isn't your aunt here?" she asked again.
Zhang Shuai covered his ears, which had turned red from being pulled by her, and smiled helplessly: "Boss, you can't do this again in the future. Girls should be more gentle. It's hard to find a partner if you are so rude!"
"No, I'm asking about your aunt? Don't change the subject!"
"Really? Even if Lin Zhou has a good temper, you can't always be like this! Change your temper in the future!"
Zhang Shuai no longer avoided her gaze. He turned around and looked into her eyes quietly, his eyes full of tenderness.
Tian Xin's heart suddenly tightened, and her voice softened: "What are you talking about?"
"When I'm not around you anymore, you have to learn to protect yourself! Don't be so stubborn..."
"Alright, alright, why are you saying all this? It's like explaining your last wishes!" Tian Xin interrupted him impatiently, suddenly feeling inexplicably anxious: "It's not like we won't see each other again. It takes half an hour to drive to Tongcheng, and 40 minutes to get there. It's only time to have a cup of tea!"
She clenched her fingers, feeling empty inside!
"I've been asking you for so long, where's your aunt? Why are you here alone?"
This question has been asked three times, but Zhang Shuai seems not to want to answer. But seeing Tian Xin keep asking, he sighed: "Go back!"
"You're going back?" Tian Xin was shocked. "When? So you're going to be here alone these days? No one's taking care of you?"
"No, she found someone to take care of me and went back by herself!"
Zhang Shuai pulled back the quilt again, exposing his legs and draping them over the pillow. He had been covered in sweat from the heat of the moment.
"What's wrong with you today?" Tian Xin skillfully took out a towel from the washbasin under the bed, waved it with warm water, and handed it to him: "Your forehead is full of sweat, wipe it!"
Zhang Shuai took it, wiped it, and said hesitantly: "Boss, I might be leaving in a few days!"
"Leave? Going... where? Back to Copper City!"
"Um!"
"Is it so urgent? You're not fully recovered yet?"
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Zhang Shuai's forehead again. Tian Xin took a towel and wanted to wipe it for him.
But when she reached out her hand, Zhang Shuai tilted his head to the side, avoiding her and said in a deep voice: "Go back and take care of it slowly!"
“…”
The air suddenly froze!
Tian Xin's hand froze in mid-air, her heart sinking bit by bit. Looking at Zhang Shuai's evasive eyes and his face full of disappointment, she slowly withdrew her hand, lowered her head and said, "That's good too. The conditions over there are better, and I'll recover faster!"
"after……"
"Go over there and live a good life!" Tian Xin raised her head again and smiled again: "Don't come back to see me if you don't make it! And--"
"Remember what I said. Don't fight with anyone anymore. Stay calm when things get tough. Don't learn bad habits. Don't learn the ways of rich young men who indulge in drinking, whoring, and gambling... Also, don't gamble. You swore to me..."
She kept reminding me over and over again, chattering non-stop!
Zhang Shuai looked at her quietly. When she finished, he suddenly started to tease her, "It's not like we won't see each other again. Why are you making arrangements for your funeral? It takes half an hour to drive back from Tongcheng. At my speed, it should only take 20 minutes!"
"No speeding either!"
Tian Xin raised her voice: "One car accident is enough! If you let me know..."
"Okay, I'll do as you say!" Zhang Shuai interrupted her softly, his eyes shifting from her face to her hands.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he reached out and held her hand tightly: "Boss, no matter where I am in the future, you will always be my boss! You saved my life and brought me up.
I will listen to whatever you say. No matter what happens in the future, I will cherish this life and never do anything that would displease you!
Zhang Shuai's eyes were firm, his voice resounding, and his palms were sweaty as he held Tian Xin's. Finally, he looked into Tian Xin's eyes, with a tenderness he had never seen before: "You must remember, you still have a brother!"
"As long as you don't mind, I can come back to see you anytime!" His tone suddenly changed and he smiled in a relaxed manner.
Tian Xin suddenly felt her eyes sore and her vision gradually became blurred. She lowered her head and tried hard not to let the tears flow out. She kept telling herself in her heart:
It's not a life-and-death separation, it's not like we'll never see each other again, so why are you being so pretentious?
After a few seconds, she rubbed her eyes and raised her head again. The dejection on her face had disappeared, and her eyes brightened instantly: "Okay, I get it!"
"What? I made some porridge this morning. Do you want some?"
She quickly took out the thermos and spoon from the bag she brought with her.
The porridge was cooked in the morning. Zhang Shuai liked to drink red bean and millet porridge, so she would bring some every time she came. To keep it warm, she put it in a thermos. Now the porridge was still warm, so she poured a bowl and handed it over.
Zhang Shuai glanced at the porridge, then looked at his hand that was receiving an IV drip: "I can't eat it, I can't even lift my hand!" he said helplessly.
"Tsk—" Tian Xin rolled her eyes and smiled, picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful, then handed it to Zhang Shuai's mouth: "Open your mouth!"
"It's hot! Why don't you blow on it?"
"Blow it yourself."
"Tsk, I tell you girls should be gentle, why can't you learn that?"
"Do you want to eat?"
"Eat, eat...I'll eat! I'm really scared of you!"
“…”
As they were eating, Li Baiwan came in with bags of things in his hands. Seeing Tian Xin feeding Zhang Shuai porridge, he laughed and teased: "Zhang Shuai even needs to be fed now?"
