Song Qiao turned on her phone, thinking that Gu Jingting probably had no interest in stories, so she simply found a piece of prose and sat by the bed and read it to him slowly.
Her voice was low and slow, and had a strange soothing effect on the ears.
The pain in his back seemed to have really subsided a lot. As he listened, Gu Jingting's tense thoughts gradually relaxed, his eyelids were half-dragged, and he began to feel drowsy.
He leaned on the bedside, staring at the woman's voice, and his consciousness gradually became addicted.
After Song Qiao finished reading a prose, Gu Jingting was already asleep, with his eyelashes casting a faint shadow on his eye sockets, looking somewhat well-behaved.
"Good night."
Song Qiao finished speaking softly and turned off the bedside lamp.
She carried the dishes to the kitchen, her phone buzzing in her pocket, and when she took it out, she saw it was a video call from Qiqi and Xiaotang.
Song Qiao simply leaned on the table and connected the video call.
"Mommy." Qiqi's face appeared first in Song Qiao's eyes. She glanced at Song Qiao's environment and asked, "Where is Uncle Gu, where is he?"
Song Qiao replied, "He is sleeping, why haven't you rested yet?"
Xiaotang came over and said, "We heard from Grandma An that Uncle Gu may be seriously injured, so we are worried about him and want to ask about the situation."
"There's nothing wrong with him. He just needs more rest for the time being. You should go to bed early." Song Qiao said.
Gu Jingting's wound was too serious, there was no need to let the two children know about it.
Qiqi and Xiaotang looked at each other for a moment, a little disgusted with Song Qiao, "Mommy, you are lying to the child!"
"Uncle Gu must be very serious, so you would go over to take care of him. Otherwise, you would have come back a long time ago. At most, you can buy something to express your gratitude to him."
Two people, each with one sentence, directly exposed Song Qiao's words.
She looked a little confused. She didn't expect them to think about her so thoroughly, so she could only say expressionlessly, "Go to bed early and don't watch TV secretly."
Qiqi and Xiaotang looked at each other and said in a long tone, "Oh, Mommy is so angry."
Xiaotang said, "Save her some face."
What two little bastards!
Song Qiao didn't want to listen to them anymore, so he hung up the phone directly, stood there and took a deep breath to calm down the mood that almost failed him just now, and then went back to the room to wash up and go to bed.
Gu Jingting woke up very early the next day.
Still because of the pain in the wound, he opened his eyes and subconsciously looked at the bedside first. He didn't see the figure he wanted, and his eyes became dark.
It wasn't until I saw the water glass on the bedside that I calmed down again.
It seems that everything last night was not a dream.
As if to verify his idea, as soon as the idea was settled, the door was pushed open from the outside. Song Qiao was wearing a light gray home clothes, with his hair tied back into a bun.
There are a few strands hanging down from the back of the head, adding a bit of laziness.
She was holding breakfast in her hand. She couldn't see clearly what it was, but it should be porridge or soup. Gu Jingting subconsciously held the edge of the bed to get up.
"Don't move!" Song Qiao exclaimed.
Gu Jingting thought of something and fell back onto the bed, groaning in pain.
The Yinren voice sounded like he was enduring great pain. Song Qiao hurriedly walked to him to check the injury, "You are still injured, why are you getting up?"
Gu Jingting's voice was low and hoarse, "I just woke up and didn't think about it."
"Hurry up and get down." Song Qiao said.
She probed Gu Jingting's wound to check the condition, and saw no obvious blood seeping out of the white gauze, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, the wound doesn't seem to be open." Song Qiao said, "Whatever you want to do later, just call me."
Gu Jingting said concisely and to the point, "Yeah."
His appearance was more in line with the image of someone who was injured and couldn't talk much. Seeing him lying on his stomach, Song Qiao felt even more guilty.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Shall we eat first?"
Gu Jingting looked at her and stretched out his hand to take the bowl, "I'll do it myself. Your injury is not fully healed yet. Go back to your room and rest first."
Song Qiao shook his head, "It's not convenient for you to move. I'm afraid your wound will open again if you turn around, so I'll do it."
"What you said is right." Gu Jingting did not argue with her anymore.
But he thought about it and decided to ask Xiang Chen to find a nanny later.
If Song Qiao's injury was completely healed, Gu Jingting would naturally be willing to let Song Qiao handle the whole process in person, but now, she herself is not healed yet.
Gu Jingting couldn't bear it.
Song Qiao was about to feed him. If he wanted anything, he put down the porridge bowl and went to the bathroom to take out a toothbrush and towel. "The conditions are limited, so just wash up."
"Yeah." Gu Jingting had no objection.
The two of them cooperated well, and Song Qiao successfully let Gu Jingting finish the porridge.
"I'm going to wash the dishes first." She said, "You can stay by yourself for a while. When you come back later, you have to take medicine. By the way, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
Gu Jingting only had a skin injury, so he just had to eat lightly to avoid inflaming the wound, so he still had some choices.
Gu Jingting didn't pay much attention to food. Hearing this, he said, "Just watch it."
"Yeah." Song Qiao could only nod.
She went downstairs to wash the dishes and had just put everything away when the doorbell rang. Song Qiao went over to take a look and found that it was Huo Jiangcheng and Li Mingxuan coming over, carrying fruit baskets in their hands.
Song Qiao opened the door, and Li Mingxuan smiled brightly at her, "Sister-in-law...Miss Song!"
Huo Jiangchen's expression was a little reserved, "Miss Song, good morning, we are here to see the third brother. Is it convenient for him now?"
They actually wanted to come over yesterday, but considering that Gu Jingting was seriously injured and must be in a coma, there was no point in coming over, so they chose to come in the morning.
"It's convenient, he's finished eating." Song Qiao stepped aside to make way.
After Li Mingxuan entered the door, he wanted to talk to Song Qiao, but Huo Jiangchen saw that Song Qiao was a little uncomfortable, so he dragged him upstairs forcibly.
Song Qiao originally wanted to follow, but thinking that the brothers must have something to say, he simply cut the fruit plate in the kitchen.
After spending a while in the kitchen, Song Qiao went upstairs with the fruit plate and found that the door was ajar, and faint voices could even be heard coming from inside.
Song Qiao didn't want to eavesdrop, but just when she was about to knock on the door, Li Mingxuan stopped her movement with one word.
"Third brother, I didn't expect that you would go so far to get Miss Song to forgive you." Li Mingxuan's voice was shocked, "Your injury will cost you at least half of your life, right?"
Gu Jingting didn't know what he was doing. After Li Mingxuan's words fell, he didn't say anything.
Huo Jiangcheng asked worriedly, "This wound looks very serious. Has the doctor said whether there will be any sequelae?"
Li Mingxuan said carelessly, "How is it possible? The third brother wants his sister-in-law to change his mind, but he has no intention of confessing himself. He will definitely plot it."
Song Qiao stood there, his head starting to buzz.
Could it be that what happened yesterday was another scam from beginning to end?
Are those people sent by Gu Jingting to direct and act on their own?
