Chapter 72 It’s hard to take your eyes away
When you are sick, you become much more fragile.
Ji Zeqiu faced Lin Xu's fierce temper in the past, but now he has become much more well-behaved. He was lying on the bed, his eyes quietly glancing at Lin Xu next to him. She was confirming his pills with the nurse. The sunlight outside the window shone on her cheeks, and even the fine fuzz on her face was clearly visible, bathed in the sun.
There is a feeling that you can't take your eyes away from.
Feeling the gaze directed at him, Lin Xu turned around and met Ji Zeqiu's eyes.
He quickly turned his head away and pretended to look up at the drip hanging on it, calculating how much time he had left to finish losing.
Lin Xu's eyebrows arched, and after listening to the nurse's explanation, he stepped forward and touched his head.
"My hair is messed up." Ji Zeqiu muttered in a low voice, but rarely resisted. The blush quietly climbed to his ears hidden under the quilt.
“You still look handsome even if your hair is messed up.” Lin Xu smiled.
Ji Zeqiu hummed, with a visibly happy look on his face.
This appearance gave Lin Xu a glimpse of his cute and well-behaved self when he was four or five years old.
Perhaps it was because Ozawa Qiu often accompanied her to go shopping and buy clothes, which influenced her and developed a bit of fashion taste.
"My hair was messed up today. I am no longer handsome. My mother may not like me." Ozawa Qiu covered his face with his hands and lay sadly on the sofa, with his little butt raised very high.
Lin Xu picked him up from the sofa and kissed his fleshy cheek, "He is still handsome even with messy hair. They are all mothers' favorite babies."
Ozawa Qiu hugged her neck and giggled non-stop.
I didn't expect that I would still be so beautiful when I grow up.
During the few days he was hospitalized, his manager also came to visit him, and sometimes he and Lin Xu would alternately stay at the hospital.
Ji Zeqiu originally wanted to call his manager, but he was in severe pain that day and accidentally dialed the wrong number.
When he first saw Lin Xu, he was thinking about changing his manager.
Now that the agent is here, he is still distracted and looks towards the door of the ward from time to time.
"If you dislike me, I'll leave immediately." The manager looked heartbroken.
"I, I don't have any, I'm just seeing why the nurse didn't come over to change the intravenous drip." Ji Zeqiu retorted.
The agent rolled his eyes and pointed at the half bottle of IV drip left above his head, "I haven't even finished this bottle yet. I can change it for anything. I'm lying without even making a draft."
"..." Ji Zeqiu closed his mouth and stopped talking.
In the afternoon, the manager left because of something, so Lin Xu took his place and came to take care of Ji Zeqiu.
"Zeqiu has been looking forward to it all day, and now that you are here, he finally no longer has to stretch his neck to look at the door." The manager joked.
A moment of surprise flashed in Lin Xu's eyes.
"You, you, don't get me wrong, I, I, I'm not waiting for you. It's all Brother Zhao's nonsense." Ji Zeqiu's voice stuttered.
Ji Zeqiu didn't know if she believed it, but he felt relieved when he heard her answer.
Ji Zeqiu is recovering well and will be discharged from the hospital in two or three days.
"The doctor said that you should eat lightly during this period and eat three meals on time. You should tell the nanny later. Ah, forget it, let's find a nutritionist to make a recipe."
Lin Xu and Ji Zeqiu were talking about each other on the way back to the apartment, which made his ears feel calluses.
My ears were obviously irritated, but there was a strange warmth in my heart.
Ji Zeqiu responded perfunctorily while opening the door to the apartment and going in.
"Zeqiu!" Just after entering the door, a joyful voice sounded, and Wen Li hurried to the entrance to greet him.
"I heard that you were sick, and I wanted to go to the hospital to see you, but Miss Lin didn't tell me which ward you were in, so I couldn't go..." She looked a little aggrieved, and she seemed to be talking. He glanced at Lin Xu timidly and fearfully.
Lin Xu didn't even bother to share his peripheral vision with her, and passed her through the door like air.
"Yes." Ji Zeqiu responded briefly and said nothing else.
Wen Li's face froze, and she immediately smiled and said: "Fortunately, you have recovered and been discharged from the hospital. If you want to eat anything, I will cook it for you tonight."
"No need, you were seriously injured in the last car accident and your body hasn't recovered yet." Ji Zeqiu said.
Hearing his concern, Wen Li nodded happily.
As evening approached, Lin Xu got the recipe from the nutritionist and went into the kitchen to communicate with the nanny.
Ji Zeqiu held the remote control in his hand and kept changing channels on the TV, as if he was choosing a program. However, his attention did not fall on the TV at all, and he furtively looked towards the kitchen.
“Ah.”
Suddenly, a scream came from beside him, interrupting his thoughts.
Wen Li's calf accidentally hit the chair. Her cheeks turned white in pain, and she held her calf and gasped.
Ji Zeqiu stood up suddenly, as if he had developed a habit over the years and wanted to care about her.
However, after taking just one step, he came back to his senses and subconsciously looked towards the kitchen.
Lin Xu also noticed the situation outside, turned around and met Ji Zeqiu's eyes.
For some reason, Ji Zeqiu felt guilty. He knew that Lin Xu didn't like Wen Li, so he took back his steps and stopped stepping forward to help Wen Li.
“Hiss, it hurts.” Wen Li’s face was twisted in pain. She lifted up her trouser leg and found a bruise on her calf. “Zeqiu, do you have any medicine at home?”
Ji Zeqiu sat on the sofa with his back very straight, looking at the TV without squinting, pointing to the cabinet below, "The medicine kit is here."
Wen Li waited. After a moment, I found that he had no intention of helping me get it. I was stunned for a moment, so I had to tiptoe to get it myself.
The potion was sprayed on her calf, causing a numbing pain.
She raised her head and glanced at Ji Zeqiu, who was still sitting on the sofa, feeling inexplicably sour in her heart.
After a while, Lin Xu and the nanny came out of the kitchen carrying dinner.
There were five or six dishes, almost all of which were vegetarian. There was not even a trace of minced meat. Although the doctor said to eat a light diet, it was too light.
Ji Zeqiu rarely eats vegetables. When he saw a vegetarian diet, his face froze.
“Come on, eat more vegetables.” Lin Xu put a piece of green vegetables into his bowl.
Ji Zeqiu doesn't like eating vegetables. Wen Li knows that and immediately says, "Ji Zeqiu doesn't like eating these. Let me make him something else."
"You have to eat them even if you don't like them, so that you can be healthy. Hurry." Lin Xu tapped the rim of his bowl with chopsticks and warned, "No picky eaters."
Ji Zeqiu looked at Lin Xu and saw her firm expression, her brows suddenly furrowed.
He looked at the vegetables in the bowl with a serious and dignified expression on his face, as if he was making some important choice.
After a long while, he finally mentally prepared himself, raised his chopsticks, and ate the green vegetables.
Wen Li opened her mouth, her eyes filled with shock.
Why...
