The rain was falling heavily with no intention of stopping.
An Nuannuan stayed in the hospital to take care of Qi Qing, saying that she was left to take care of him, but Xiao Rui's presence lingered.
Qi Qing had just woken up. After An Nuannuan helped her wash up, she was about to order takeout to get some food for the two of them. Xiao Rui seemed to have calculated the time. Before An Nuannuan could place the order, there was a knock on the door.
An Nuannuan opened the door and saw a middle-aged woman with a kind smile standing outside the ward, "Who are you?"
"Miss An?" the woman smiled, "The young master asked me to deliver breakfast to you and Ms. Qi."
"Master?"
"Xiao Rui."
"..."
Only then did An Nuannuan remember that Xiao Rui had told her before that he had an uncle who was a Chinese medicine doctor. He was an art expert and could also prescribe medicated meals to help patients take care of themselves.
Of course, An Nuannuan couldn't refuse something that was good for her mother's health. She quickly took the incubator and said, "Thank you."
The maid smiled and left.
…
Return to the ward.
An Nuannuan opened the thermal box. Inside the thermal box was porridge cooked over low heat. It was different from the ones she bought. It was thick and soft and fragrant. As soon as she opened it, she could smell a faint medicinal fragrance inside. The portion was very large. It should be theirs.
Enough for two people.
Just thought so.
I received a message on my phone.
"Medicinal food is good for your health. You and Mom should eat it together."
"..."
An Nuannuan's mouth twitched and she ignored it automatically. She took out a bowl and poured half of the porridge out. First she raised the head of her bed, then she set up a small table and placed the porridge in front of Qi Qing.
“It smells so good.”
"It's medicinal porridge." An Nuannuan tried to taste it first, and her eyes lit up slightly, "There is no bitter taste at all. This porridge must have been cooked for a long time. The rice is soft, glutinous and fragrant, and it melts in your mouth. It tastes really good.
Mom, please try it."
She took a spoonful of it and brought it to Qi Qing's lips. Qi Qing took a taste and saw An Nuannuan looking at her expectantly. She chuckled, "Well, it tastes good."
"If it tastes good, drink more." An Nuannuan was originally worried that Qi Qing wouldn't be able to accept the taste of the medicinal porridge, but now that she didn't reject it, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Rui said there are many kinds of medicinal food, but you can only drink porridge now.
, so I have to make medicinal porridge. When your digestive function is better, you can make soup by then, and the effect of making soup will be better."
"This kid has a lot of heart."
"..."
An Nuannuan laughed dryly and didn't dare to talk.
Qi Qing did not let her go. After drinking a bowl of porridge, he talked to her about Xiao Rui, "Bao'er..."
"ah?"
"Xiao Rui, it's very good. You should take good care of it."
"..."
An Nuannuan wanted to tell her the truth, but...seeing the softness in her eyes, she still couldn't tell her. She nodded and avoided her eyes, "Mom, I know."
"You don't know." Qi Qing took her hand and said, "Mom, after living for such a long time, even though I haven't had much waking time, I couldn't see people accurately before. But what I can see... comes out.
Xiao Rui is a good boy. When I was sick, he... originally only needed to buy things and come over to take a look... but he didn't do that. He was... taking care of me in the hospital. These days... he takes care of everything and is not afraid of getting tired.
, not afraid of trouble. And he is so...busy! The most precious thing for a busy person like him...is time. But he is willing to spend his time on me...We are just strangers, and he treats me like this.
, your reason.”
An Nuannuan wiped off the fine sweat on her head and said hurriedly, "Mom, I know this, please stop talking. The doctor said that your body is still weak. It is best to stay in bed and rest, and speak as little as possible."
"If I didn't tell you, Ruirui's child... would be in such a miserable state." Qi Qing took a breath and insisted, "Bao'er, you... must remember that poor men... are willing to spend a lot of money on you.
Money, that means loving you. A man with a successful career... is willing to spend time with you, that is sincerity. Ruirui is not only willing to... spend time on you. He can also love the house and the bird... take such good care of me, like this
Men, it’s so rare.”
"..."
"You, please don't take his kindness to you...for granted. Since you were a child, your mother has taught you that other people's attitudes are...your temperature. Even in love, kindness to one of the parties is...
... You have to respond. Ruirui has been so good to us. You have to... repay him with the same kindness. You have to remember that relationships also need balance. Only one party pays. Sooner or later... this relationship will...
Unbalanced.”
"Mom, please stop talking, I already know the truth."
"You know, then you...will do as I say?"
"..."
Qi Qing sighed, with an expression like "I knew it was like this".
"mom……"
"Don't believe in love just because your father and I are not happy in our marriage... It's my mother's bad luck, and... my mother wasn't obedient when she was young. If I had listened to your grandparents, I wouldn't have...
...In short, you are a good boy, and you must be luckier than your mother."
An Nuannuan lowered her eyes, took a sip of porridge, and said vaguely, "An Daqing was very kind to you before."
"But... he has a bad character."
"..."
Qi Qing could now face her marriage to An Daqing calmly. She sighed, "Back then, he was so kind to me... more of it was deliberate. But I was in it and didn't notice it. Your grandfather
Grandma found out, and they tried to persuade me not to get along with him. At that time, I was... following a demon. The more your grandparents opposed it, the more I... wanted to prove that my choice was right. After marriage...
…For a long time, I thought that my choice was the right one. But it turns out that... I am still older than I am, and when it comes to looking after people, I still have to listen more to my elders.”
"mom……"
"Bao'er, my mother's biggest wish in this life is to see you in a wedding dress and marry a man who can take care of and protect you throughout your life. Mom thinks this man is Ruirui."
"..."
An Nuannuan twitched the corner of her mouth fiercely, put down the thermos box and said helplessly, "Mom, what kind of ecstasy did Xiao Rui fill you with? You are talking to him like this. Why do I think he is your son? I am like
I picked it up. Besides, there are so many men in the world and your daughter is so good, maybe I can meet someone who treats me better than him."
"..."
Qi Qing said nothing, only looked at her intently with eyes of unknown meaning.
An Nuannuan felt that she had been discriminated against.
She protested, "Why can't I find someone better than Xiao Rui? Mom, you are too underestimated."
"When you eat from the bowl, you can't return it. Look at the food in the pot." Qi Qing taught her seriously, "This... is not good!"
"..."
An Nuannuan wanted to cry but had no tears.
Mom's heart has been completely bought by Xiao Rui, what else can she say!
