Chapter 3 - III
Xie Qi was so worried that he couldn’t sleep well at night. When he got up the next day, his eyebags were black and blue and his golden eyes were a little dim.
He put eye drops on his eyes before going out. He felt his eyes were more comfortable, then he took his keys and mobile phone to go out.
Xie Qi didn’t go to the hospital immediately. Instead, he went to vegetable market and bought some vegetables to cook at home.
Jiang Sining was already awake and could eat foods.
This time he didn’t make porridge but cooked rice with chili scrambled eggs and vegetables.
He sent it to the hospital for Jiang Sining to eat. After done, Jiang Sining brought up the old things again and wanted to see Huo Linong.
This time Xie Qi didn’t refuse and went to rent a wheelchair. He picked up Jiang Sining and put her in the wheelchair before taking her to the ICU ward. Jiang Sining’s legs were still torn, and moving around was so painful that she burst into tears. Xie Qi patiently comforted her, wiped her tears with paper, and pushed her in a wheelchair all the way to the ICU.
The ICU ward is not far from the orthopedic surgery department, they are both departments on the same floor.
But Xie Qi remembered that there were two departments on each floor, and the lady’s son should also be in the ICU.
He didn’t saw her this time.
Xie Qi thought casually and looked up to see Jiang Sining crying by the window. He couldn’t help but have a headache.
Jiang Sining actually didn’t suffer much after her divorce. She was willing to work, and her job happened to be satisfactory. She wasn’t busy, and her salary was high, which made her happy.
But many years of living as a rich wife also changed her concept, that was, the most expensive must be the best, so she bought the most expensive for everything, which was not a luxury item, so she didn’t save much money.
To a certain extent, Jiang Sining was also the kind of person who was too casual and willful, she didn’t think much about the future.
He was the one who should cry, seeing there were still more than two hundred thousand less money for surgery.
Jiang Sining was unwilling to leave and insisted on staying outside with Hou Linong in the ICU ward. Xie Qi had nothing to say. Anyway, the operation was in the afternoon, so if she wanted to stay, let her stay.
Xie Qi thought that he could still attend one or two classes when he returned to school, but she also knew Jiang Sining needed someone to accompany her, so he endured Jiang Sining’s ocean of tears to accompany her outside the ward.
Xie Qi asked: “Do you really like Teacher Hou so much?”
Jiang Sining choked up and said, “I like someone young. You should find someone younger than you in the future. This is the best.”
Xie Qi: “I like someone older than me =.=.”
Jiang Sining was immature enough. So, Xie Qi’s criteria for choosing a lover was a gentle and intellectual big sister. In short, someone who didn’t cry when something happened like her mother. Just be the opposite of his mother, then it would be perfect.
When Jiang Sining had cried enough, Xie Qi wanted to send her back but she didn’t want to. Xie Qi couldn’t do anything about her, he thought he would buy a piece of bread for her lunch.
She was not happy about him going back to school.
Xie Qi asked her: “What do you want?”
Then Jiang Sining said: “I want to eat the food you cooked.”
Xie Qi: “=.=”
Hey, fine.
.
Xie Qi let her stay there and went back to make lunch.
Actually, Xie Qi didn’t know much about cooking but Jiang Sining didn’t know how to cook so he had to teach himself to survive. It was him who cooked the foods at home.
After Jiang Sining remarried, Teacher Hou knew how to cook. So, he was the one who took over the kitchen. Not to mention, Teacher Hou’s cooking was really delicious.
Xie Qi actually really liked Teacher Hou, but if it were someone else, he might not be so desperate for him and worked so hard to raise money for him to have surgery.
Xie Qi made lunch and put it in a thermal bucket. It was almost done, so he took a lunchbox to put it in. After doing this, he hurried to the hospital.
These days, he was constantly running around. Even if Xie Qi was young, he really couldn’t bear it anymore. But there was no way, no one in the family could take the responsibility except him, so he could only grit his teeth and carry it on.
.
After rushing to the hospital, Xie Qi went to the ICU to find Jiang Sining. When passing by a ward, a person dressed as a nurse came out. His eyes suddenly lit up when he saw him.
He grabbed his arm and said, “Good boy, do me a favor. I’ll give you two hundred yuan.”
Hearing the offer, Xie Qi’s eyes lit up. He looked him up and down and asked, “What’s the matter with you?”
The man said, “Come on, come in.”
Xie Qi was not prepared and followed him into the ward. As soon as he entered, he found that this ward was different from the ICU ward outside. It was luxurious and clean, like a VIP ward seen only in TV series.
The male nurse said, “I have already filled up the water. Please help me wipe the patient on the bed and massage him.”
Xie Qi saw the patient the male nurse was talking about. He didn’t get closer, but he could see that he was a very tall man. The beds seemed to be specially customized and were more spacious than ordinary hospital beds.
Xie Qi was a little puzzled, with no expression on his face, but his tone was a little questioning: “Aren’t you a nurse? I’m helping you, what are you going to do?”
The male caregiver suddenly said with a straight face: “Don’t ask, I’ll give you money, two hundred a day, just help me wipe him, I’ll teach you the massage later, it’ll be quick, it won’t take you long time.”
There was a little worry in his tone.
Oh, Xie Qi understood. This nurse had probably got another job, and in such a hurry waiting for one person to help him with the other one.
Xie Qi put down the lunch first and walked to the patient. Only then did he notice that the patient had a very handsome face.
However, because he had been sleeping in bed for a long time and was feed with dripping nutrient solution, his cheeks were slightly sunken, but even in this way, one can detect from his sleeping face his demeanor during his lifetime, which should be quite cold.
‘After all, if you keep an expression on your face for a long time, the muscles on your face will also remember it.’
Two hundred a day was still money, and Xie Qi didn’t mind it.
He took a towel, squeezed out the water, and began to wipe the man’s body.
The nurse was directing from the side: “You also need to wipe your groin, and wipe it clean.”
Xie Qi: “…”
‘Okay, you are the boss and I will listen to you.’
Xie Qi thought the man’s T-shirt was an eyesore, so he took it off directly. However, because the man’s hand was still stuck with a needle, the wide black T-shirt was rolled up on his hand with the needle.
The nurse said “Hey, be careful, don’t get the needle. I can’t explain the bleeding.”
‘Then it is easier for you to hire other people?’
Xie Qi didn’t say anything, and his movements were indeed gentle. He wiped the man’s body carefully, and even took off his pants. He casually glanced at the soft but still impressive piece of hardware and said “uh”.
He asked the nurse, “Do I need to wipe this too?”
The nurse was already holding his phone and watching videos. After listening to his words, he took a look and said, “No, his family won’t check there.”
Xie Qi: “…”
No one was checking? Then he better gave him a wipe, it was so pitiful.
Xie Qi washed the towel again, picked it up with two fingers, and wiped it carefully. When he was doing this, he didn’t notice the man’s slender fingers clenched into fists at his side.
