Chapter 139 Peace of Mind
Shen Chutang slept for a long time and had many bizarre dreams. When he opened his eyes, he saw Shi Chengyu sleeping on the side of the bed, still wearing the same clothes he had worn yesterday.
Shen Chutang picked up a corner of the quilt and moved it to the side to cover him. Shi Chengyu suddenly raised his head, grabbed her hand and froze in shock, as if he was not awake yet.
Shen Chutang curled his lips, "I also want you to come up and sleep with me."
Seeing that he didn't move, Shen Chutang pulled his hand harder and said, "I want to hug you."
After saying that, he stepped back a little to make room for him.
Shi Chengyu no longer hesitated, he got up and climbed onto the bed, his clothes rubbing against the quilt making a rustling sound.
Shi Chengyu held her shoulders to prevent her from hugging him, "Liang, wait a moment."
Shen Chutang didn't care about that. She moved over and rubbed against his arms, "I'll warm you up."
The room was very quiet. It was daybreak outside. A few tiny rays of light shone through the curtains into the room, making it dim and hazy. Shi Chengyu listened to her light breathing and felt his body warm up a little. He hugged her tighter and gave her a light kiss on the top of her head.
"Shi Chengyu, did I scare you again?" Shen Chutang felt a little guilty, "Yesterday, I wanted to go back early to give you a surprise." But I didn't expect that the surprise turned into a scare.
Shen Chutang imitated him and kissed his chin, "I'm telling you, I'm very brave. I wasn't afraid even when I fell into the water. And I was lucky that someone came to rescue me very quickly."
Shen Chutang's voice was very soft and she spoke very slowly. Shi Chengyu hugged her and hummed softly, feeling both sour and bloated in his heart.
How could she not be scared? She could swim, so why was she waiting for someone to rescue her?
"Tangtang is great." Shi Chengyu praised her softly.
"I thought that the last time I accompanied you to the hospital was the last time, but I didn't expect it to happen again." Shen Chutang smiled awkwardly and said, "It doesn't seem right. After we get married and have babies, we still have to go to the hospital."
The topic changed a little too quickly. The room was too heated. Shen Chutang's cheeks flushed. "Thinking about it this way, the hospital doesn't seem so annoying after all."
Shi Chengyu's heart trembled, and his hand paused unconsciously for a moment, and then seemed to be blocked by something, "Tangtang, rest for a while."
Shen Chutang shook his head and refused, "No, I've been sleeping for a long time and had a lot of strange dreams."
"But when I woke up I didn't remember anything, and when I opened my eyes I saw you here."
Just one glance made her feel at ease.
"Yes, I said, I will always be with Tangtang." Shi Chengyu stroked her back and said softly, "Tangtang must be well, healthy and happy."
"Wait until this afternoon and have someone buy you some candied haws, okay?"
"Do you still remember?" Shen Chutang raised his head and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
She had just said it casually yesterday, just making an excuse, but he took it to heart.
"Then after I'm discharged from the hospital, can we stay at home together?"
Shen Chutang had an expectant expression on her face, almost like she was acting coquettishly.
But just being looked at like this, Shi Chengyu couldn't say no to her. What's more, it wasn't a difficult thing. Even if Shen Chutang said she wanted to open a Tanghulu shop at home, he would not refuse.
Shi Chengyu lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, "Of course, Tangtang can do whatever she wants."
Shen Chutang laughed happily in a low voice, a low, slow laugh that was pleasant and lively.
Shen Chutang rested his head on his arm and squinted his eyes, thinking about which fruits to use to make candied haws.
"By the way, how's the girl who rescued me?"
"She's fine. She woke up yesterday." Shi Chengyu touched her hair and said, "The person who saved you was Wen Zhi."
Shen Chutang was a little surprised, and vaguely remembered the hand that held her tightly yesterday. "This time it has nothing to do with her. I suddenly lost my legs and fell down."
"Yes, I know."
The surveillance had already been checked. Shi Chengyu was very glad for the choice he made last time. It's not like he hadn't thought about using a simpler and more brutal method to solve the problem, but as Shen Sichen said that day, because Tangtang was there.
He couldn't bear the consequences of Shen Chutang being hurt because of him again. It didn't matter what happened to him alone, but with Tangtang, the relationship between him and Tangtang would become closer and closer in the future, so he had to think more and consider more.
"It's quite a coincidence." Shen Chutang smiled optimistically, "Brother Chengyu, I really have to thank her this time."
“Yes.”
Shi Chengyu kissed her cheek and said, "Listen to Tangtang."
Shen Chutang's movements were restricted and she couldn't get out of bed to walk the whole morning. Although she said she didn't feel any pain, no one listened to her.
In the afternoon, the nurse outside said that a girl named Wen Zhi came and wanted to see Shen Chutang.
Shi Chengyu was watching a variety show with Shen Chutang. Shen Chutang was laughing so hard that her shoulders were shaking in his arms. "Ah? Then let her in."
Then he turned around to look at Shi Chengyu and said with a smile, "Brother Chengyu, please step aside for a moment."
It was not for any other reason, but because Shi Chengyu gave people too much oppression in front of outsiders. Wen Zhi came to her at this time, and he must have something to say to her.
Shi Chengyu handed her the peeled chestnut kernels and said, "Got it. I'll go to the next room. Call me if you need anything."
Shen Chutang took a chestnut kernel and put it in her mouth. It was still warm, sweet and soft. She nodded and handed another one to Shi Chengyu.
After Shi Chengyu went to the next room, the nurse brought Wen Zhi in.
It was the first time that Wen Zhi had seen such a ward, which was even like an apartment. She had to pass through two doors before she arrived at Shen Chutang's ward.
She came over a little awkwardly, "Ms. Shen, are you feeling better?"
"I'm much better now. How about you?" Shen Chutang smiled and waved at her, motioning her to sit over. "Thank you for saving me."
Wen Zhi suddenly choked up, "Ms. Shen, I..."
"I know, this has nothing to do with you." Shen Chutang smiled softly and looked at her tenderly, "Wen Zhi, I just want to thank you."
This time... Wen Zhi was stunned. It turned out that Shen Chutang knew everything.
"Ms. Shen, since you know everything, why are you still..."
Why was he still so nice to her, sending her notes and having people send her mooncakes and gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival? Wen Zhi thought she acted well, but it turned out that she had known it for a long time.
"Ms. Shen, I'm not a kind person." Wen Zhi lowered her head in shame.
"No." Shen Chutang gently refuted her, "A gentleman is judged by deeds, not by heart. You saved me twice and it's true. Your help to classmates is also true."
"When you rescued me yesterday, you didn't know it was me who fell into the water, right?"
"Wen Zhi, you are a very good person. You just did some extreme things before, but that is not enough for you to deny yourself."
