She hadn't eaten a bite of food from yesterday to now, so she must be starving. Thinking of this, He Zikai blamed himself even more.
Cheng Nuo still looked out the window without any reaction.
"Huh?" He Zikai waited patiently for her, waited for her to turn her head, and fed her by herself.
"Don't eat." Cheng Nuo moved his lips and said two words.
"..." He Zikai frowned slightly. She knew her temper well. She was definitely angry and angry with herself. However, after not eating for so long, wasn't she hungry?
"Be good, eat as much as you can." He Zikai continued to respond gently. He was so humble because he was worried about her health and to make up for the harm he had done to her.
Cheng Nuo remained silent and did not answer.
He Zikai waited for a long time, his patience wearing away bit by bit.
In the end, He Zikai changed his face and called out coldly, "Nuo'er..."
Cheng Nuo felt He Zikai's voice change and his shoulders shook slightly.
"Turn around." He Zikai ordered, but in his heart he didn't want to treat her like this. Now that she was so weak, she wanted to love her so much and hold her in her hands, but her tenderness was meaningless in her eyes.
Cheng Nuo knew that He Zikai was angry, his tone changed, and she could clearly feel the cold air radiating from his body.
Cheng Nuo was worried that He Zikai would force him to do something, and he was still very afraid of him. In the end, he turned around and faced him.
He Zikai said nothing, but his heart suddenly hurt.
She doesn't want the tenderness given to her. Do you have to talk to her with such a cold face before she listens?
He Zikai fed her porridge with a spoon, but Cheng Nuo only opened his mouth when he handed the spoon over.
The two of them got along quietly like this, without anyone speaking.
Cheng Nuo felt that his stomach was a little full. When He Zikai handed over the spoon again, Cheng Nuo did not eat. He turned away and rejected him with his actions.
"Are you full?" He Zikai asked, his tone gentler.
"Yeah." Cheng Nuo replied, not as indifferent to him as before.
He Zikai did not force her, put the spoon and lunch box in his hand on the table, and looked at her again.
"Get some sleep." He Zikai said.
Cheng Nuo moved and lay down flat, and then his eyes were willing to look at He Zikai.
Looking into He Zikai's eyes, Cheng Nuo said, "Can you go out?"
I want to be alone for a while and don't want him to be around me.
"Well..." He Zikai readily agreed. This was her request, so I left it to her.
"..." Cheng Nuo was stunned for a few seconds, apparently shocked by He Zikai's immediate answer.
He Zikai knew what this woman was thinking, but he didn't say anything. He just covered her with a quilt, and then made sure that her infusion was normal before standing up and leaving.
Watching his back leave, until the door of the ward blocked his back, tears burst out of Cheng Nuo's eyes.
Closing his eyes, Cheng Nuo stopped the tears from flowing out.
Perhaps he had just eaten some food, and his body suddenly felt much better and warmer. Cheng Nuo closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while.
…
At dinner, Aunt Lan brought another meal. Cheng Nuo had already slept and woke up, feeling better.
Aunt Lan served Cheng Nuo dinner, and just after dinner, He Zikai came.
"Sir..." Aunt Lan packed up her lunch box and chopsticks and greeted He Zikai.
"Yeah." He Zikai responded to Aunt Lan and walked to the bedside to sit down.
Stretching out his hand and stroking her small face, He Zikai asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling better?"
Cheng Nuo looked into his eyes for a long time before nodding.
He Zikai was less worried now.
Aunt Lan left the ward after saying goodbye to He Zikai and Cheng Nuo.
"You don't have to go to work these days, I'll ask for leave for you." He Zikai said, already holding Cheng Nuo's hand that had just finished infusion, and gently rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb.
"Oh." Cheng Nuo responded.
The way I am now, even if I want to go to work, I can't go to work. It's hard to go to the toilet in the afternoon, get out of bed and walk two steps. Later, I still hold on to the wall and walk to the toilet step by step.
"Watch some TV? Or do you want to rest?" He Zikai asked.
The senior VIP ward is like a small apartment. It has everything, including watching TV, surfing the Internet, taking a shower and cooking, especially the big bed in the ward, which is as comfortable as at home.
"Watching TV." Cheng Nuo said. He slept for a long time in the afternoon and still didn't feel sleepy after eating.
"Yeah." He Zikai said, took the remote control and turned on the TV. Knowing that she liked to watch some idol dramas or Korean dramas, he picked a channel that played idol dramas and watched them with her.
At first, He Zikai sat by the bed and accompanied Cheng Nuo. Later, he was worried that she would feel tired just sitting and watching TV, so he simply sat on the bed, held her in his arms, and watched with her.
Cheng Nuo snuggled into his arms without struggling. He already knew in his heart that struggling was useless. There was nothing this man wanted to do that he couldn't do.
Gradually, Cheng Nuo felt sleepy, closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
He Zikai felt her head drooping. When he lowered his head and saw her sleeping soundly, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Turning off the TV, dimming the lights in the ward, and using as gentle movements as possible, He Zikai laid her flat on the bed, and lay on the bed himself, holding her in his arms.
Cheng Nuo, who was sleeping lightly, felt the big hands on his body and realized that he was lying on the bed at the moment. The scene from last night suddenly appeared in his mind.
Cheng Nuo suddenly opened his eyes and wanted to resist.
If what happened last night happened again, I would rather jump out of the hospital window than die under He Zikai.
He Zikai seemed to sense that she was about to resist, and before she could resist, he grabbed her arms with both hands.
"I won't move." He Zikai said immediately, but firmly assured her.
"..." Cheng Nuo was startled, and his original intention to resist stopped.
"Be good, let's sleep with you like this, okay?" He Zikai said, releasing her arms with both hands and holding her tightly in his arms.
I would rather squeeze into a bed with her in the hospital ward than go back to Lishui Bay, because the place where she is is my home in my heart. Only when I hold her, I feel that I have everything I want.
Cheng Nuo listened to He Zikai's words, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
When I first woke up at noon, I was childish with him, but when I saw him at night, I had no energy at all. Just now, except for worrying that he would be like last night... In fact, in my heart, I still wanted him to be by my side.
In such a big ward, sleeping alone makes me feel particularly insecure. However, when he is around, I feel inexplicably relaxed and calm down.
He Zikai gently patted her back with one hand to help her fall asleep.
After a while, the sound of even breathing reached He Zikai's ears. He Zikai stopped his hand, lowered his head and looked at her sleeping form. He wanted to go up and kiss her, but he was worried that he would wake her up, so he endured it.
