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?"
"Is that Miss An?"
The woman smiled and said, "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 very artistic and could also prescribe medicated meals to help patients regulate their bodies.
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.
...back 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 the 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 scooped up 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 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 and wait for you.
Once the digestive function is better, you can make soup by then, and the effect of making soup will be even better."
"This kid has a lot of heart."
"..." An Nuannuan laughed dryly and did not dare to speak.
Qi Qing did not let her go. After drinking a bowl of porridge, he talked to her about Xiao Rui, "Bao'er..." "Huh?"
"Xiao Rui, very good.
You, take good care of it."
"..." An Nuannuan wanted to tell her the truth, but...seeing the softness in her eyes, she still couldn't say it. She nodded and avoided her eyes, "Mom, I know."
"you do not know."
Qi Qing took her hand and said, "Mom, after living for such a long time, although the time I spent awake... wasn't much, I couldn't see people accurately before.
But, what I saw... came out.
Xiao Rui is a good boy.
I was sick, and he... originally only needed to buy something and come over to take a look...
But he didn't do that. He was in the hospital...taking care of me.
These days...nothing is too big or too small, and I am not afraid of being tired or bothered.
And he is so...busy! The most precious thing for a busy person like him...is time.
But he was willing to spend his time on me... We were just strangers, and it was all because of you that he treated me like this."
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 say anything, that kid Ruirui would be in such a miserable state."
Qi Qing took a breath and insisted, "Bao'er, you...have to remember.
A poor man... is willing to spend a lot of money on you, that's because he loves 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...
It’s so rare to find such a man who can still love Wujiwu... and take such good care of me."
"..." "You.
Don't take his kindness to you...for granted.
Since you were a child, your mother has taught you that the attitude of others is...your temperature.
Even if you are in love, kindness to one of the parties must be reciprocated...
Ruirui is so kind to us.
You also have to...repay him with the same kindness.
You have to remember that relationships also need balance. If only one party pays, sooner or later... this relationship will be 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 unhappy in our marriage..."
My mother has bad luck, and... my mother was not obedient when she was young.
If you had listened to your grandparents, it wouldn't have happened... 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 was now able to face her marriage to An Daqing calmly. She sighed, "Back then, his kindness to me... was more deliberate.
It's just that I was in it and didn't notice it.
Your grandparents found out and they advised me not to let me get along with him.
At that time, I was like a man possessed. 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 right.
But the facts have proved...you are still smarter with age, and you still need to listen more to your elders when it comes to looking after people."
"Mom..." "Bao'er, mom'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 feels that 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 pour into you, and you are talking to him like this.
Why do I feel that he is your son? I seem to have picked him 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 what's in the pot."
Qi Qing taught her seriously, "This...is not good!"
"..." An Nuannuan was about to cry but had no tears.
Mom's heart has been completely bought by Xiao Rui, what else can she say!
