Chapter 173 Want to eat?
Lu Qiu half-closed his eyes, his thick eyelashes blocking Xia Wange's probing sight. He held the fruit knife in his slender fingers, with the blade facing himself, and slowly peeled the apple bit by bit. The apple peel became longer and longer as he moved.
Lu Qiu's hands were very steady, and the skin he peeled was very thin. Just by looking at the crystal clear juice on the apple, you could tell that the apple must be delicious.
Xia Wange swallowed and realized that her throat was dry and sore, as if she hadn't drunk water for several days. She couldn't help coughing.
At the same time, Lu Qiu had just finished peeling the apple in his hand. He threw the peels into the trash can and then looked at Xia Wange.
Xia Wange looked at Apple, then at Lu Qiu, pursed her lips, and blinked. Her intention was very obvious.
"Want to eat?" Lu Qiu shook the apple in his hand.
Before Xia Wange nodded, Lu Qiu took a bite. Immediately, the aroma of apple lingered around, and Xia Wange took a deep breath.
Then she pursed her lower lip tightly: "......"
She was afraid that if she didn't bite it tightly, her saliva would remain. She didn't like apples that much to begin with, maybe it was because she had slept for too long...
Lu Qiu ignored her and continued to eat the apple in his mouth. After a while, he asked, "Want to eat?"
Xia Wange nodded.
Lu Qiu sneered, "You don't deserve it."
"You went out with a low-grade fever and in the cold wind. You worked non-stop for a few days at the end of the month, doing human things during the day and ghost things at night. You didn't care about your body at all. In the end, you were so tired that you fainted and were hospitalized." Lu Qiu took another bite of the apple, "For someone like you, eating apples is a waste."
Xia Wange said: "My sect's mission..."
As she spoke, she realized that her voice was completely hoarse.
Is it that serious?
Lu Qiu pulled the corner of his mouth, "I reminded you more than a week ago."
Xia Wange thought of the leisurely days when she drank Sprite, played games and ate for free, and she looked away guiltily.
"I know you're anxious, and you're working non-stop to keep yourself alive longer." Lu Qiu looked at her slightly dry lips, sighed softly, and stuffed a thermos cup into her arms. "But you're desperately trying to survive like this, and when you really have plenty of time to live, you find that your body has been wasted. Is this the kind of life you want?"
Xia Wange lowered her eyes to glance at the thermos in her hand, scratched the back of her head, and said nothing. She knew what Lu Qiu said, and she had indeed been working non-stop before, thinking that every bit of merit would be a bit of merit, and every bit of life would be a few more days. But Lu Qiu was right, she really had not arranged her life well.
"You could have been discharged as soon as you woke up, but I forced you to stay in the hospital for three days." Lu Qiu pointed to the accompanying bed next to him and said, "I will stay with you in the hospital for the next three days. You should take a good rest during the National Day holiday. I will come back later."
"Ah? National Day?" Xia Wange was stunned. She completed the task in the early morning of the 30th, and now it's the 1st?
"No, you accompany me?" Xia Wange suddenly remembered something, "Wait, hospitalization?"
"Why, you want Cao Niannian to work overtime to take care of you during the National Day holiday?" Lu Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Don't go further than me as a businessman."
"And." Lu Qiu glanced at Xia Wange, "Who else do you think can keep you in the hospital and prevent you from running around except me?"
Xia Wange took a big sip of warm water, then drew back and muttered, "You can't keep an eye on me either..."
Before she finished speaking, Xia Wange noticed that Lu Qiu started to take off the jade ring on his hand, and then he was about to take off the bracelet. She held him back with her backhand and said sincerely, "Don't worry, I will stay in the hospital for the next three days and I won't go anywhere."
"Heh." Lu Qiu glanced at Xia Wange deeply, "You'd better keep your word."
After saying that, Lu Qiu went out. At this time, Cao Niannian came in with a lunch box, "Xia Jie, eat quickly. This is what Mr. Lu asked me to get. It contains boiled apples and bananas. He said that it's best not to eat cold food when you wake up. It's not good for your stomach."
Xia Wange opened the box and took a look. She found that the fruits inside had been cut into small pieces that were easy to eat. Judging from the appearance of the apple, the process of only peeling a little bit might also be Lu Qiu's work...
As expected, Cao Niannian said, "Mr. Lu peeled the apples himself. You didn't wake up, which scared us to death. Mr. Lu has been staying here with us since last night. It's almost afternoon now, and you have been running a fever. You only felt better this morning."
Xia Wan Ge thought that Lu Qiu's eyes were indeed a little red just now, but she didn't expect that he was accompanying her...
"Sister Xia, please don't do this again. We didn't notice it at first, and I thought you had gone out, but I didn't expect you to be here all the time." Cao Niannian said with lingering fear, "It was not until Mr. Lu called me and asked if you were there and asked me to go check on you that I realized you had been in the room all the time."
"At that time, Mr. Lu asked us to call an ambulance. Sister Xia, I will put a piece of paper on your door next time. Please tick it when you go to sleep and tick it when you come out. Otherwise, I won't know if you are there or how long you have slept. I am afraid that you are catching up on your sleep and disturbing you. I am also worried that you will faint again like this time and we won't know..."
It was also their fault. Xia Wange usually acted too powerful, as if he could do anything. Sometimes they didn't realize that he was just an ordinary person who could get sick.
At this point, Cao Niannian sat next to Xia Wange again and lowered his voice slightly, "We saw that you were still asleep, so we asked Master Li to come see you. Mr. Lu was worried that if something metaphysical happened to you, we didn't know that we had missed the time."
"Early in the morning, Zhang Song ran over and pulled Master Li over. After he looked at you, he said that you were exhausted from working non-stop. He also said that you are busy all day, exorcising ghosts and fortune-telling, solving this and that, and you are young and healthy for not falling ill until now."
"But Master Li still burned a peace charm for you. The nurses at the hospital saw it and took me out for a lecture. They told me that feudal superstitions were not to be trusted. Since I was in the hospital, I should stop doing these unnecessary things."
"Also, you don't know. When the nurse gave you the injection, she didn't draw blood at first, but President Lu stared at the nurse's hand. I was watching from the side, and I was nervous for the nurse. Fortunately, the nurse was strong and adjusted the needle and the bleeding stopped. Fortunately, our President Lu doesn't judge people's personalities casually."
"So, Sister Xia, you must take good care of yourself this time and don't ruin your body again. We are really worried."
