Huo Jinning slept very soundly, and didn't wake up until nightfall, at dinner time.
"Ningning, you're awake! Are you hungry? Come and eat something." Fu Qinian had been watching Huo Jinning closely, and upon seeing her wake up, he immediately called out gently.
"I...I'm okay, not very hungry."
Fu Qinian carefully reached out and supported Huo Jinning's arm, as if afraid of hurting her: "Let me support you, it'll be safer that way."
In fact, Huo Jinning secretly thought to herself that, given her current condition, walking independently would not be a problem at all.
However, faced with Fu Qinian's thoughtful and considerate actions, she really couldn't bear to refuse his kindness.
Fu Qinian specially selected some light-tasting and nutritious dishes to bring back to the ward.
Although the dishes were simple, they emitted an enticing aroma that made one's mouth water.
Huo Jinning took a bite and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: "It tastes really good."
She had thought that food during her illness might be rather bland, but she never expected these home-cooked dishes to be so delicious.
After their meal, the two decided to take a walk in the hospital courtyard to aid digestion.
Strolling through the hospital park, Huo Jinning was in a good mood and couldn't help but look up to admire the azure sky above, which was as blue as a jewel.
"Ah Qi, look, the sky here is so blue! You can't see that in Beijing. And this sunset is so beautiful!" Huo Jinning excitedly looked up and exclaimed in admiration of the sky.
Fu Qinian simply responded with a soft "Mm," his gaze also fixed on the distant sky.
At this moment, they stood quietly in place, as if they had become one with the world around them.
To outsiders, they were like a beautiful painting.
While they admire the scenery, they are unaware that they themselves have become the most beautiful scenery in the eyes of others.
"There are mosquitoes, let's go back!" Fu Qinian said, frowning.
"Okay, sure."
When they returned to the ward, only the two of them were left alone, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
To ease the awkward atmosphere, Huo Jinning suggested, "How about we watch a TV series for a while?"
Huo Jinning stayed in the best single room in the hospital, which was equipped with a toilet, shower facilities, and a television, among other daily necessities.
In addition, Fu Qinian thoughtfully purchased some daily necessities such as towels, bath towels, washbasins, toothbrushes, and toothpaste.
"Okay, sure." Fu Qinian nodded in agreement, then turned on the TV and handed the remote to Huo Jinning.
Huo Jinning casually switched to a channel that was playing a TV series and began to watch it with great interest.
As she watched, she would occasionally offer her opinions, such as criticizing a plot point as illogical or commenting on a character's poor acting.
Fu Qinian had hardly ever been exposed to this kind of fictional TV series since he was a child.
He simply couldn't understand why these storylines, which felt like they had their IQ lowered, still had people who enjoyed watching them.
However, out of respect for Huo Jinning, he did not express his doubts.
At this moment, Fu Qinian was staring intently at Huo Jinning, who was leisurely eating fruit and chatting incessantly about the TV series.
He suddenly found the TV series quite interesting, but he didn't actually pay attention to what was being shown on the screen. Instead, he was completely absorbed in watching Huo Jinning with tender affection.
She would sometimes furrow her brow in deep thought, sometimes beam with joy, and sometimes have tears welling up in her eyes—all of which seemed so fresh and interesting to Fu Qinian.
"Ningning, it's about time to rest." Fu Qinian glanced at the clock and was surprised to find that it was already close to 10 p.m.
"Can I watch a little longer? Just until this episode ends?" Huo Jinning pleaded coquettishly.
"Okay, then I'll watch this episode, but I really need to rest afterwards."
Faced with such a lovely and charming Huo Jinning, how could Fu Qinian bear to refuse her?
"Okay, sure!" Huo Jinning immediately beamed with joy.
Despite still wanting to continue watching, Huo Jinning obediently turned off the TV after the episode ended, having already promised Fu Qinian.
"Go wash up first," Fu Qin said softly.
"Okay, sure."
Huo Jinning responded subconsciously, but her thoughts were still immersed in the plot she had just witnessed.
She had no idea that she would be sharing a room with Fu Qinian tonight, even though there were two hospital beds, they were still in the same room.
After Huo Jinning entered the bathroom, Fu Qinian gently locked the door and drew the curtains.
When he had nothing to do, he suddenly heard the sound of rushing water, and his body involuntarily became hot.
Huo Jinning, who was in the bathroom at the time, only realized after taking a shower that she had not brought any spare clothes.
Looking at the clothes she had already worn, she really didn't want to put them back on, and she was conflicted, not knowing what to do.
Fu Qinian waited for a long time, but he still didn't hear the sound of water from the bathroom, and Huo Jinning still didn't come out.
"Ningning, what's wrong?" Fu Qinian asked anxiously as he stood outside the bathroom door.
"It's nothing, I'm fine, it's just..." Huo Jinning hesitated, unsure how to express herself.
"What is it? Are you feeling unwell? Should we get a doctor to take a look? You can come out first," Fu Qinian asked anxiously.
"I...I didn't bring any change of clothes," Huo Jinning finally mustered up her courage to say.
Fu Qinian was momentarily speechless, his face flushed, his heart racing, and his body acting strangely.
"Um... I'm sorry, I forgot to prepare clothes for you. Why don't you wear mine for now?" Fu Qinian said after recovering a little.
"Okay, sure!" Huo Jinning replied shyly and somewhat reluctantly.
"Then please wait a moment."
Then he called Li Mo and asked him to bring his suitcase up, and picked out a T-shirt that he hadn't worn yet.
"Ningning, open the door a little bit, I'll hand you the clothes."
Huo Jinning carefully opened the door a crack, reached out and took the clothes Fu Qinian handed her, quickly put them on, and found that the size was just right, the length reaching her upper thighs, almost like pajamas.
"I'll go out for a bit. Let me know when you're done tidying up, and I'll come back in." Fu Qinian said, then quickly left the room as if he were fleeing.
But he didn't go too far. Instead, he sat down on a chair outside the room, trying to calm his agitated emotions.
At this moment, he felt as if he had completely lost control of his body.
Meanwhile, after changing her clothes, Huo Jinning quickly washed her underwear and outer clothes and hung them out to dry.
