The matter of Feng Jingxian can be considered concluded here.
The ward fell silent, yet with a slightly awkward atmosphere.
Shen Muzhi turned his head to the other side, turning the back of his head towards Xiang Zhilan.
Xiang Zhilan looked at Shen Muzhi's back and recalled the terrifying scene when Xiao Kui was almost hit.
Xiao Kui was so small, and that iron hammer was almost as big as her head. If it had hit her, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Fortunately, Shen Muzhi saved Xiao Kui.
However, it must have hurt a lot if that hammer had hit Shen Muzhi. If it were her, she would probably have suffered at least internal injuries.
"Thank you for today." Xiang Zhilan knew he didn't need to be grateful, but that didn't mean she didn't need to say thank you. After all, he had saved her and her two children.
Shen Muzhi kept his eyes closed, gave a nonchalant "hmm," and still didn't turn around.
"Are you still angry about that day? I was just saying it casually." Xiang Zhilan was quite helpless and had no choice but to lower his head and admit his mistake. After all, he was injured now and had the right to be arrogant.
Shen Muzhi opened his eyes, his gaze clear and bright.
“Even if I said something wrong that day, you shouldn’t have gone several days without coming to see the child, and Hengheng keeps asking about you.” Xiang Zhilan was still very dissatisfied with this.
Shen Muzhi felt it was very necessary to explain this point, so he turned to look at Xiang Zhilan and said, "I'm not refusing to see the child because I'm angry with you, I just have an upset stomach."
"So how is it now?" Xiang Zhilan was a little worried when she heard this. Shen Muzhi would not be so delicate as to need to recuperate for several days unless she was seriously unwell.
"It's almost done," Shen Muzhi said casually.
"What do you mean by 'almost healed'? If it's not healed, it's not healed; if it is, it's healed." Xiang Zhilan was a little angry; he still didn't care about his health.
Suddenly, she remembered how he had picked her up that morning; he had a stern face, didn't say a word, and looked rather unwell. At the time, she thought it was because he was angry with her that he was giving her the cold shoulder.
"If you're not feeling well, just say so. The child can go to the Shen family's house another day," Xiang Zhilan said irritably.
Shen Muzhi pursed his lips, looked up at Zhi Lan's slightly annoyed face, and thought that she was beautiful even when she was angry. He said bluntly, "Because I haven't seen you for several days, I want to see you."
Xiang Zhilan froze, as if something had struck his heart. He still didn't know how to embellish his words at all, yet he clearly missed her, but he had to act so awkwardly.
"Don't do that again. Stomach problems can be serious or minor." Xiang Zhilan bent down to cover him with the blanket.
Silence fell again in the ward, a silence that carried a slightly different, more relaxed atmosphere than before.
"I have another question for you." Xiang Zhilan looked at Shen Muzhi's face and asked somewhat awkwardly, "This morning, you were...?"
She stopped herself halfway through her sentence, feeling that asking that question was a bit too embarrassing.
"Hmm?" Shen Muzhi looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but then hesitated, and asked in confusion.
Xiang Zhilan pursed her lips and shook her head: "It's nothing."
Seeing that she was silent, Shen Muzhi stared at her face for a long time. He could never see through her; why were women so difficult to understand?
"You should get some rest." Xiang Zhilan felt even more uncomfortable being stared at for so long, so she pulled the blanket up a bit and tucked the corners of the blanket in for him.
Shen Muzhi turned his head back, and the room became quiet again. Just as Xiang Zhilan thought he had fallen asleep, she suddenly heard him say, "I didn't go to pick up Bai Yutong this morning."
