Chapter 77 You Feed Me
Shi Nianzhi's eyes seemed to be filled with tiny starlight. When he looked at Lu Jiunian with such anticipation, it was hard for him to refuse him.
The man lowered his eyes. "You feed me."
Shi Nianzhi picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of soup, and considerately blew on it before offering it to Lu Jiunian.
Lu Jiunian lowered his head and took a sip; the taste was indeed very delicious.
Shi Nian fed Lu Jiunian the bowl of mushroom soup spoonful by spoonful.
"Is it good?"
"Um."
"So, do you still want it?"
Shi Nianzhi blinked and looked at Lu Jiunian.
As Lu Jiunian leaned closer, Nianzhi said in a low, teasing voice, "Yes."
The word was somewhat ambiguous, and Shi Nianzhi's ears turned slightly red. He turned around and continued to get the mushroom soup.
He even asked, "Would you like to try some mushrooms?"
"casual."
"OK."
Shi Nianzhi fed Lu Jiunian a few more mouthfuls of soup and mushrooms.
Jiang Kai rinsed his mouth and came out of the bathroom. He saw Lu Jiunian drinking mushroom soup and hesitated for a while before saying anything.
In the end, nothing was said.
Lu Jiunian turned around and, when he saw Jiang Kai, his gaze was extremely cold: "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Kai sat down at the dining table. "Xiao Nianzhi asked me to come and have mushroom soup, so I came."
He rested his chin on his hand and rushed towards Shi Nianzhi, "Right? Little Nianzhi?"
Shi Nianzhi nodded: "Okay, I'll let him try it first and see if it's good."
"Is it tasty?"
Upon hearing Lu Jiunian's question, Jiang Kai lowered his head and coughed softly: "Well, actually..."
I'm a university professor, so I have a lot of knowledge. Let me give you a little科普 (popular science) explanation. Well, all mushrooms are edible, but some can only be eaten once in their lifetime.
Shi Nianzhi: "?"
Lu Jiunian's expression darkened slightly. "What do you mean?"
"Literally."
Jiang Kai tapped his hand on the table, looking like he was enjoying the show.
Whether it was due to Jiang Kai's words or not, Lu Jiunian seemed to feel a bit of a stomachache.
"Aunt Zhang!"
Lu Jiunian shouted in a deep voice.
Aunt Zhang came out of the kitchen and quickly came to the dining room, asking respectfully, "Third Master, what are your orders?"
Where did the mushrooms come from?
Aunt Zhang thought it was something serious, but upon hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's from the refrigerator. It must have been bought this morning; it's very fresh."
Shi Nianzhi: "..."
So that's what Aunt Zhang thought? It seems Aunt Zhang was unaware that he put mushrooms in the refrigerator.
Just as Shi Nianzhi was wondering whether he should just brush it off like this.
Lu Jiunian suddenly clutched his stomach and bent over slightly.
It turned out that it wasn't just a slight stomachache; his stomach was actually starting to hurt.
Jiang Kai was the first to be startled; he immediately stood up and helped Lu Jiunian up.
"No way? It's really poisonous? I'm just kidding. Xiao Nianzhi, you don't even know what a mushroom is before you pick it?"
Jiang Kai looked at Shi Nianzhi.
Lu Jiunian, his forehead covered in cold sweat, glared at Shi Nianzhi, gritting his teeth, "Where did this mushroom come from?!"
Shi Nianzhi was terrified and at a loss: "I picked them from the back garden. I remember that white mushrooms are not poisonous."
"you!"
Shi Nianzhi must have been sent by heaven to torment him.
Lu Jiunian pointed at Shi Nianzhi, whose eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Xiao Nianzhi, you've taken this joke too far."
Without saying a word, Jiang Kai picked up Lu Jiunian, hurriedly put him in the car, and rushed him to the hospital.
Shi Nianzhi hurriedly got into the car, her eyes red with anxiety: "He won't die, will he?"
"If he dies, tomorrow the whole city will be laughing at him. The dignified Third Master Lu of the capital city, poisoned by mushrooms."
"I didn't know. I thought white mushrooms weren't poisonous. I saw a lot of them growing, so I picked them."
"Don't pick it next time, your IQ... is still worrying."
Lujiang Bay is the best villa area in the capital, and of course it is equipped with the best private hospital.
Not far away, the medical staff hurriedly carried Lu Jiunian to have his stomach pumped.
Shi Nianzhi waited outside the emergency room, pacing back and forth, unable to sit still.
Jiang Kai comforted Nianzhi, saying, "The fact that you can still have your stomach pumped means it's not a big problem. You'll just suffer a little. Nianzhi, stop shaking. I'm dizzy. Come on, sit down."
Shi Nianzhi shook his head, his face filled with self-reproach and guilt.
Jiang Kai, however, was quite nonchalant, and simply looked down at his phone.
Lu Jiunian was pushed out.
Shi Nianzhi rushed over immediately: "Doctor, is he alright?"
"Food poisoning, but there are no major problems now. Observe overnight."
Shi Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
Lu Jiunian was transferred to a ward, and Shi Nianzhi stayed with him the whole time.
Jiang Kai yawned; he felt incredibly bored.
Lu Jiunian was alright, but Shi Nianzhi was still extremely worried, her eyes glued to him.
There's really nothing for him to do in this ward anymore.
Jiang Kai played another game, then stood up and said, "Xiao Nianzhi, I have something to do later, so I'll be going now."
"good."
"He'll be alright now that he's awake, don't worry."
"Um."
Jiang Kai reached out and patted Shi Nianzhi's head.
Just before leaving, Jiang Kai turned around again, as if he wanted to tell Shi Nianzhi something, and at the end, his Adam's apple bobbed.
She also felt that Shi Nianzhi might not go to the 9th floor, and if she said it now, it would seem like she was trying to hide something.
After thinking about it, Jiang Kai decided not to remain silent.
She added, "Xiao Nianzhi, just stay here and wait for your husband to wake up. Don't wander around, or you might get kidnapped. I'll have your husband's assistant come over in a bit. If you need anything, just wait for him to arrive and have him get it."
Shi Nianzhi turned to look at Jiang Kai, who nodded obediently and said softly, "Okay."
Jiang Kai smiled with satisfaction and left.
When he entered the elevator, his finger hesitated for a moment before finally pressing the number 9 for the floor.
Looking at the lit-up button, Jiang Kai gave a wry smile.
On the ninth floor of the private hospital, there was only one patient who had been lying on a soft hospital bed for more than two years without waking up.
Jiang Kai stood outside the glass viewing area, but ultimately did not muster the courage to go in.
His fingers tapped lightly on the glass:
“Zijian, sometimes even I am confused for a while. If you don’t wake up, perhaps Jiu Nian will really change his mind.”
"You're so young, with so many ideals and ambitions yet to be realized. Are you content to just sleep like this forever?"
"Wake up quickly. Shi Nianzhi is a very good kid. I don't want him to get entangled with Jiu Nian any deeper."
...
Shi Nianzhi was very worried at first, but extreme mental stress can easily lead to mental exhaustion.
Shi Nianzhi's stomach also started rumbling. He had been busy with the gardener all afternoon, had eaten early for lunch, and hadn't eaten dinner.
They're at the age where they're growing, how can they withstand such hunger?
He was exhausted and hungry, and rushed out in his pajamas. He was also a little cold in the stark white hospital.
Jiang Kai's assistant was late in arriving, and Shi Nianzhi looked at Lu Jiunian on the hospital bed.
Two little people were fighting in his head.
A little devil said, "He will wake up on his own when the time comes; the doctor said he's fine."
A guilty conscience said, "No, Shi Nianzhi, he's lying here in such a pitiful state because of you. How can you abandon him just because he's a little hungry!"
"If you leave for a while, nothing will happen. By the time you eat and come back up, he might not even be awake!"
"What if he wakes up when you leave? If he wakes up and doesn't see you, he'll strangle you!"
“Strangling someone is illegal, so why would he strangle you? You're cold and hungry right now, don't you want a bowl of hot noodles? With scallions and meat, a sip of soup would be the perfect meal.”
alright.
In Shi Nianzhi's mind, the devilish little man had hammered the little man of conscience to death. Shi Nianzhi wrapped her pajamas tighter and left.
He jogged to get his food because he was so hungry and didn't want to waste time.
When Shi Nianzhi returned after eating, he yawned and paused for a moment when pressing the elevator button.
I was in a hurry to go in and out, I think it was on which floor?
As Shi Nianzhi hesitated, the elevator slowly began to ascend.
Shi Nianzhi thought it was fine; he could just park anywhere and ask the front desk if Lu Jiunian was on a particular floor.
The elevator ascended floor by floor, finally stopping on the ninth floor.
Shi Nianzhi looked up and saw a female nurse in a nurse's uniform. Before he could say anything...
The other person suddenly stared at Shi Nianzhi as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes filled with an indescribable emotion.
"You... I was just passing by! You should be lying in bed! How come you've even changed your clothes in such a short time?!"
Shi Nianzhi walked outside, completely bewildered. "What?"
The female nurses retreated one after another.
It wasn't until a male doctor came over and stopped the female nurse who was about to run away.
"Are you confused? How could this be the one inside? They're different sizes, look closely!"
"Then he, he is..."
Have you forgotten?
The male doctor leaned close to the female nurse's ear and whispered a lot of things, and the female nurse gradually relaxed after being tense at first.
Then he asked the male doctor, "How did he get here?"
"You ask me, how would I know?"
"Are you here to see the patient in bed 01? Oh, you must be Young Master Gu, right?"
"No, I wanted to ask which floor Lu Jiunian is on; I forgot."
"Come with me, I'll help you check."
The male doctor led Shi Nianzhi toward the consultation desk. The female nurse glanced at Shi Nianzhi a couple more times. As they entered the elevator, she seemed still somewhat shaken.
The male doctor bent over, connected to the hospital system on the computer, and typed on the keyboard.
Shi Nianzhi's footsteps were drawn to this floor. This floor didn't look like a hospital at all; the style of decoration was completely different from the cold and gloomy hospital below.
The warm color scheme of the decor creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
Shi Nianzhi saw a floor-to-ceiling glass window and walked towards it.
In the very center of the ward, on a white hospital bed, someone lay quietly, their hand, exposed beneath the blanket, was fair and delicate, with long, slender fingers and an IV tube inserted into it.
From Shi Nianzhi's perspective, the oxygen mask partially obscured her face.
To get a better view, Shi Nianzhi took another step forward.
