Chapter 101 Is it hard?
Shi Chengyu was very cautious and tense at the beginning, but later he slowly relaxed and dared to hold Shen Chutang in his arms.
Although Shen Chutang still has to rely on nutritional fluids to replenish his energy most of the time, he can also eat some easily digestible liquid food.
Chen Musheng steamed egg custard in the morning. Shen Chutang leaned in Shi Chengyu's arms and ate while reminding Shi Chengyu, "You should also eat well later."
Shi Chengyu put the spoon to her lips, "Okay, I will eat it well."
"Be good, have another bite." Then he kissed her on the cheek.
Shen Chutang ate slowly and spoke slowly, almost taking a break after saying a few words. "If you don't eat well, I won't kiss you."
Shi Chengyu chuckled twice, kissed her again, and said lovingly, "Okay."
Shen Chutang turned around and glared at him, his voice carrying a hint of anger, "I'm talking about serious matters."
The bowl of egg custard was eaten up, Shi Chengyu put down the bowl, held the back of her head and kissed her, this time not on the cheek or the corner of her lips.
Shi Chengyu held her soft lips and kissed her briefly, then said softly, "Listen to Tangtang and make sure you complete the task."
Shen Chutang's eyes were filled with surprise. He slowly covered his mouth and said in a muffled voice, "How could you kiss me!"
"Yeah." Shi Chengyu smiled and kissed her forehead. "I couldn't help it. Does Tangtang blame me?"
Shen Chutang shook his head in a daze, "This is the first time you kissed me."
She remembered it clearly and cared about it. Realizing this, Shi Chengyu's heart trembled, and the expression on his face almost couldn't be maintained. "I'm sorry." He apologized hoarsely, and then said, "I won't do it again in the future."
She will no longer be the only one taking the initiative, and she will no longer have any regrets.
Shen Chutang shook her head again, her cheeks flushed pink, and she leaned shyly on Shi Chengyu's shoulder, "No need to apologize, I'm just surprised."
Shi Chengyu knew it, patted her back, and put her back on the bed, "Okay, lie down obediently, don't sit for too long."
Shen Chutang lay down in the quilt obediently, looking at him sideways, "I'll watch you eat."
Shi Chengyu touched her face and said, "Okay, go to sleep if you are sleepy, don't force yourself."
Shen Chutang wanted to hold on, but his body wouldn't allow it and he fell asleep again after a while.
Shen Chutang slept until the afternoon. When he woke up, he didn't see anyone. He tried to sit up from the bed in panic, but he had no strength.
The nurse came over to comfort her, "Ms. Shen, don't move. You can't get up now."
Shen Chutang lay on the bed, panting, breathing rapidly, and asked, "Where are they?"
"Your family has gone to a meeting with the doctor and will be back soon."
"I'm going to massage your legs, please don't move."
Shen Chutang was stunned for a moment, "Oh."
"I want to sit up a little."
The nurse stopped what she was doing and raised the bed. "Don't be afraid. It won't hurt."
Shen Chutang looked at her hands pressing on her legs, but she had no feeling and her mind was blank. She tried to lift her legs, but there was no response, as if these two legs were not her own.
"Is that Mr. Shi your husband?" The nurse saw that she was a little nervous and tried to find a topic to distract her.
Shen Chutang came back to his senses and shook his head, "No, we haven't gotten married yet."
"Ah!" The nurse was so surprised that her hands paused for a moment, "Not your husband?!"
"What's wrong?" Shen Chutang asked.
The nurse smiled and shook her head. "No, I'm just surprised that he could take care of you so attentively for more than three years even though we are not husband and wife."
"You don't know, he has never left for the past three years, guarding you day and night, and his hair has turned white."
Shen Chutang's heart skipped a beat when he heard those words, and an unspeakable pain spread in his heart. More than three years, which the nurse took lightly, were more than a thousand days of unbearable suffering for Shi Chengyu.
The nurse vaguely guessed the noble status of the girl in front of her, and spoke with a tone full of respect. Finally, she said, "He really loves you."
"I have been working for more than ten years. Your legs are the best I have ever seen. You don't know that when Mr. Shi first started learning from me, he was afraid to touch them. Later, he gradually dared to get started, and in the end, he was even more skilled than me."
The nurse laughed as she finished speaking. Shen Chutang seemed to see through her voice Shi Chengyu standing by the bed and cautiously asking the nurse for advice. She was touched and sad. She said in a hoarse voice, "He's fine."
This is well known and beyond doubt. The entire medical team has witnessed it. They originally thought that the two were husband and wife, and that they were so affectionate, but they didn't expect that they were just in a romantic relationship.
"When will my leg get better?"
The nurse has heard this question many times. She felt sorry and sighed secretly, and replied politely, "As long as you recover well, you will recover soon."
With an ambiguous answer, Shen Chutang lowered his eyes and stared at his legs in a daze.
"Ms. Shen's various indicators are recovering, and she will be discharged soon." The doctor said in the conference room, "It's just that it's difficult for Miss Shen's legs to recover. In addition, it will be difficult for her to have children in the future, and it's almost impossible for her to get pregnant again."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Shi Chengyu, but he asked with a normal expression, "Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"
The doctor was stunned for a moment, "You should pay more attention to her mental state."
Shi Chengyu nodded solemnly, "Thank you, doctor."
When he returned to the ward, Shen Chutang was sitting on the bed, holding a stuffed toy and playing with it by pulling its arm.
"How long have you been sitting here? Are you tired?"
Shen Chutang looked up when she heard this and said, "The nurse just left. She's not tired." After she said that, she put down the stuffed toy and opened her arms towards Shi Chengyu.
Shi Chengyu came over and held her in his arms, "What's wrong?"
"Shi Chengyu, have you had a hard time in the past three years?" Shen Chutang's voice was already tearful. Shi Chengyu held her face in panic and said, "It's not hard, not at all."
Shen Chutang was crying. She could vaguely see a few white hairs on his head and choked up, "The nurse said you took good care of me."
“But you didn’t take care of yourself.”
Shi Chengyu wiped the tears from his face in a panic. Shi Chengyu never felt that he had suffered. The long wait of more than a thousand days was endless hope for him.
He didn't feel bitter, nor did he feel that he was suffering, but now seeing Shen Chutang crying because he didn't take good care of her, he just felt that he was wrong.
With a dull pain in his heart and bitterness spreading in his chest, he coaxed her softly, "It's not Tangtang, don't cry, dear."
Shen Chutang looked up and pulled his hair with his hands. Seeing a few gray hairs hidden in it, he said in an even more aggrieved tone, "You already have gray hair." Then he began to apologize, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
