She picked up the meat in a daze, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed numbly.
A man's heart is like a needle in the sea, she can't figure it out.
He clearly refused to return it no matter how hard I asked for it that day in the hospital, so why is he willing to do so now?
After being stunned for a long time, she reached out and put the necklace into her pocket woodenly, patting it twice as if to reassure herself.
"Is it because of me, or something else?"
Pei Zhiyu hit the nail on the head. She went on to explain, "If it's about me, there's no need. I never like to blame others for anything. But if it's about what happened to you before..."
"Can we not talk about this for now? Xiaoyu, I haven't thought about it yet, really." Zhong Yue felt very upset, with his head hung like a wilted cucumber, and he didn't even eat the braised pork.
Pei Zhiyu placed his soft palm on the top of her head and comforted her softly, "Well, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm going to the hospital to deliver soup first, and then I'll go buy some daily necessities. Do you want to come with me?"
Zhong Yue quietly wiped his face and nodded silently.
Because it is near the New Year, lights and decorations are everywhere, even the hospitals.
The moment she entered the elevator, Pei Zhiyu recalled that she had met a couple holding couplets with the word "Fu" in the elevator before the explosion that day. Later she heard that the elderly person in that family had passed away.
She couldn't help but sigh, worrying about Qin Mengzhi, not knowing when he would wake up.
Qin Hezhou has been staying at the hospital alone for many days. I'm really worried that he will collapse from exhaustion...
"bite!"
The elevator door opened, but Zhong Yue didn't come out with them.
She said, "I'd better wait for you downstairs."
Knowing that she was afraid of being embarrassed if she met Zhou Yanli, Pei Zhiyu did not force her and rushed to the VIP ward alone.
At that time, Qin Hezhou was leaning against the bed with his eyes closed.
He had just finished a three-hour video conference and was extremely tired. These days, he had been either taking care of Qin Mengzhi, attending meetings to handle official business, and chatting with Pei Zhiyu.
Pei Zhiyu could tell from the conversation that he was tired, so he urged him to rest many times.
But Qin Hezhou refused. He was always eager to seize every opportunity to communicate with her, fearing that she would slip away from his palm like sand.
In the end, I ended up like this. The bruises on my body are even heavier than the day we parted.
She felt very distressed.
Qin Hezhou was still in a dream, vaguely feeling something soft stroking the back of his head and neck repeatedly.
The next second, warm liquid dripped down.
He suddenly woke up, and when he looked up, he saw Pei Zhiyu with tears in his eyes.
The moment their eyes met, he didn't feel awkward or unnatural as he had expected. Instead, he felt a sense of security, like a traveler returning home.
Qin Hezhou straightened up, leaned back in his chair, and reached out to wipe her tears.
"Why are you crying?"
The slightly rough fingertips rubbed against the skin lightly. Pei Zhiyu's tear glands suddenly went out of control, perhaps because of the sting of his eyes or something else.
Qin Hezhou's answer was a face full of tears.
He opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He seemed helpless yet touched. He gently grasped her wrist, and his hot palm conveyed warmth while also soothing her heart.
In this posture, Pei Zhiyu walked forward in small steps.
Looking down at Qin Hezhou's face, it was like traveling back to the scene of waiting in front of the operating room door on the day of the explosion.
"You should take a break," she said.
There was a hint of tears in his voice when he spoke, which made people feel distressed. Qin Hezhou hugged him around the waist.
Now it's exactly the same as that day.
But after hugging her, he didn't take any further action, didn't say a word, just held her quietly.
Pei Zhiyu asked puzzledly: "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you tell me to rest?" Qin Hezhou buried his head in her belly, and his voice was not very clear.
After a moment, he added: "I'm charging."
Seeing his childish and trusting behavior, Pei Zhiyu narrowed her eyes and couldn't help laughing, letting him hold her like this.
The clock on the wall showed that almost ten minutes had passed since she arrived.
Zhong Yue was still waiting downstairs, and it would be bad if the fish soup got cold.
Pei Zhiyu pushed Qin Hezhou's shoulders and urged helplessly: "Can you get up first? The battery is not fully charged yet."
He was aggrieved and refused to let go. "It's been on standby for days. How can it be fully charged in just a few minutes?"
"I learned how to make soup from Aunt Yu. If you don't drink it..." She deliberately lengthened the tone to make Qin Hezhou's heart hang in the air.
He suddenly let go of my hand, looked up, and the words he said had a tone of interrogation.
"If I don't drink it, who are you going to give it to?"
"Doctor Zhou's lounge is also on this floor." Pei Zhiyu said with a smile.
It was like a cunning little fox, who grasped his weakness but did not catch him immediately, but instead used bait to play tricks on him first.
But Qin Hezhou was not fooled. He would never be jealous of Zhou Yanli.
That's his future brother-in-law!
While Qin Hezhou was drinking soup, Pei Zhiyu sent a message to Zhong Yue, telling her that it would take another seven or eight minutes for him to go down, and asked her to find a place to rest first.
There was no reply from the other end.
"Do you have anything else to do?" Qin Hezhou suddenly asked.
"I'm going to buy some new daily necessities, as well as four-piece sets, furniture and so on..." As she spoke, she suddenly paused, looking thoughtful.
"Why don't you say anything?"
"There are some things I want to wait for you to buy together."
“…” He didn’t say anything and continued to sip two mouthfuls of fish soup.
"It's almost New Year's Eve. I hope Aunt Meng can wake up soon so we can celebrate the New Year together." Pei Zhiyu said calmly, but his heart was actually filled with ups and downs.
It's not like she hasn't seen vegetative patients before, some of whom may not wake up even after lying in bed for over a decade. It wouldn't matter if she kept caring for them, but she was afraid Qin Hezhou wouldn't be able to withstand such a blow.
If gods really exist in the world, she would like to pray and bless Qin Mengzhi to wake up as soon as possible!
"When the time comes, go find Zhong Yue and celebrate the New Year together."
Qin Hezhou's words caught her off guard, and everyone was stunned...
What does it mean to go to Zhong Yue to celebrate the New Year?
"What do you mean? What about you? Do you plan to stay in the hospital alone, or do you want to ask Dr. Zhou to stay with you in the hospital?" Pei Zhiyu said in a cold voice. He sounded really angry and looked like he was about to bite his teeth off.
"Zhou Yanli still has to go home to be with his father." he said.
"So you're living on your own?"
"The hospital is too lonely. I have to stay with my aunt."
Pei Zhiyu closed the thermos with his backhand, causing some soup to splash. He said sternly, "Okay, then go over there yourself!"
