After hearing what Zheng Peilan said, although Song Shishi still had some thoughts in her mind, she didn't insist anymore.
Song Shishi gently scooped up a spoonful of food and tenderly handed it to Meng Xunzhou's mouth, but Zheng Peilan just stared at them, and both of them felt uncomfortable.
"I'd better eat it myself. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold soon."
Meng Xunzhou raised his hand, and the movement involved his wound. He frowned slightly, but still took the bowl from Song Shishi.
Song Shishi looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly and agreed.
But before picking up the bowl and chopsticks to prepare for dinner, she couldn't help but speak, with a somewhat euphemistic tone: "Mom, it's getting late, you should go home early. Didn't you say that the mother-in-law and the others are still waiting for you to go back for dinner?"
Zheng Peilan looked at the young couple in front of her. She understood everything, but she just nodded with a smile.
"Yes, I'm leaving now."
As she spoke, she picked up her handbag, stood up slowly, and walked towards the door step by step.
...
...
When she reached the door of the ward, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and she stopped running abruptly, turned around slowly and asked, "By the way, what do you want to eat tomorrow morning? I'll make it for you."
"Mom, you don't have to work so hard, we can just buy some food in the morning."
Faced with such a considerate mother-in-law, Meng Xunzhou couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
His injury this time has caused his family to worry and run around, and he feels really bad about it.
"Why spend that money? I'll just do it tomorrow. We have to eat anyway."
After Zheng Peilan finished speaking, she waved her hand, ignored them, and turned away.
The ward suddenly became quiet, with only Meng Xunzhou and Song Shishi left.
For a moment, it was so quiet that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.
The moment their eyes met, they couldn't help but burst out laughing at each other.
"Be careful, it would be bad if the wound split open." Song Shishi said with a smile, her eyes full of worry.
The love in Meng Xunzhou's eyes seemed to overflow, and he replied softly: "Yeah, okay."
…
After dinner, Song Shishi carefully put away the washed lunch box with gentle and neat movements.
She was just about to get some hot water for Meng Xunzhou to wash.
As a result, as soon as she turned around, Meng Xunzhou gently grabbed her wrist.
"What's wrong!" Song Shishi leaned slightly to the side and spoke softly.
Meng Xunzhou lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand. The kiss was hot and carried the complex emotions in Meng Xunzhou's heart at the moment.
"Wife, thank you for your hard work this time."
Song Shishi sat down on the bedside, her eyes gentle, and gently held his hand.
"What are you talking about? We are husband and wife, we should support and care for each other. Compared with the separation of life and death, these are nothing."
As long as they are all alive and well.
As long as they are together.
As long as they still love each other.
Then everything else becomes less important.
"After this injury heals, I'll be able to spend more time with you at home."
Meng Xunzhou had a smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with longing for their future life.
When Song Shishi heard this, her heart skipped a beat and a trace of worry flashed across her face.
"Is your injury so serious? Will it affect..."
Before she finished speaking, Meng Xunzhou realized that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "No, don't think too much, I mean that I have almost done all the things I should be busy with before, and I can spare more time to accompany you from now on."
He reached out and gently stroked her hair, his movements gentle and doting.
"Really? I was so scared. I thought your injury was so serious that it affected your work."
Song Shishi let out a long sigh, and the worry on her face slowly disappeared.
"Don't worry. I finally married you. How could I abandon you? When I was hit by the bullet, I deliberately avoided the fatal position."
Meng Xunzhou looked at her with firm and affectionate eyes.
"I will be with you for the rest of my life. I won't let myself die so easily."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shishi seemed to be startled and immediately covered his mouth with her hand, with a hint of nervousness and fear in her eyes.
"Don't say that word."
Song Shishi's eyes were moist. She pursed her lips and tried to adjust her mood before she stood up and said, "I'll get you some hot water to wash up. You're still injured. You'll get better faster if you rest early."
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife." Meng Xunzhou showed a doting look and dependent eyes.
Because of Meng Xunzhou's identity, the hospital leaders arranged a single room for him.
In addition to the bed where Meng Xunzhou was lying, there was another single bed in the ward, so Song Shishi didn't have to worry about having no place to rest at night.
When Song Shishi got some hot water and returned to the ward, she found that Meng Xunzhou had actually put two single beds together.
"Did you move it yourself? You're still injured, how could you..."
Song Shishi was shocked and anxious, her eyes full of heartache.
As she was about to turn around and call the nurse, Meng Xunzhou stopped her in time.
He smiled and waved at Song Shishi, his expression like a child who was begging for candy.
"I asked the nurse to help me. I can only sleep with you in my arms at night."
Song Shishi raised the corner of her mouth slightly and didn't bother with him.
She prepared water, wet the towel, and carefully wiped Meng Xunzhou's body, fearing to hurt him.
Meng Xunzhou was shot in the abdomen, so many movements could easily involve the wound.
Meng Xunzhou originally wanted to come by himself, but was forced to refuse by Song Shishi.
She really enjoyed the process of taking care of Meng Xunzhou. In her opinion, this was a way for her to repay her love for Meng Xunzhou.
The next morning, sunlight shone through the window into the ward.
Song Shishi was afraid that Zheng Peilan would see the beds pushed together when she came to bring them breakfast, so the first thing she did when she woke up was to move the beds back to their original positions.
"Wife, we are now a legal couple. Even if mom sees us, she won't say anything."
Upon hearing this, Song Shishi turned around and glared at Meng Xunzhou. Her eyes were filled with a hint of anger, yet also full of tenderness.
"You are still injured. This will have a very bad impact on you."
As the two were talking, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.
Song Shishi was startled and a trace of panic flashed across her face.
Could it be that what they just said was heard by others?
"Brother, you're finally awake! You don't know how worried we were yesterday when we knew something happened to you."
Meng Xiaoqi rushed in. When she saw Meng Xunzhou woke up, her eyes lit up and she walked quickly to the bedside.
Meng Xunzhou looked at his sister with a smile in his eyes: "I'm fine now. You are still so irritable, girl."
Meng Xiaoqi stuck out her tongue and looked at Song Shishi.
"Sister-in-law, my mother was afraid that you wouldn't have a good meal, so she got up early to make some meat-filled buns. Come and try them."
When she wanted to take one to eat in the morning, Fu Shuxian slapped her hand and said that it was specially for her brother and sister-in-law.
But the aroma of the meat buns was enough to make one drool, so she just carried them with her all the way, feeling extremely greedy.
