Husband, Spend Some Gold Coins

Chapter 7 - I



What Xie Qi said was so bizarre and no one believed it, they were all a little worried about his mental state.

Li Siwen chatted with him privately and said, [There are some things I really want to say, but I’m afraid you’ll think I’m cold-blooded. If you think there’s really no other way, forget it. Your mother has only been married to Teacher Hou for two years. You can’t ruin your good life for him.]

Xie Qi said, [I understand the truth, but the food cooked by Teacher Hou is really delicious.]

Li Siwen: [? Is this the reason for you?]

Xie Qi: [No, there is something else. Anyway, you don’t have to worry, I have money.]

Li Siwen: [Where did you get your money? Isn’t your biological father didn’t want to pay?]

Xie Qi said, [There is always a way.]

That was it. As if she hadn’t said anything, Li Siwen stopped asking. She couldn’t help much, so they just chatted. It was annoying enough, so she didn’t want to add a problem.

Li Siwen: [Then are you coming to school today?]

Xie Qi said: [Come, but it will be later. I will try my best to start school normally tomorrow.]

The battery of the mobile phone was exhausted, and Xie Qi remembered that he had forgotten to charge his mobile phone when he came back.

He first plugged his phone into the charger to charge, then took clean clothes and went to take a shower.

.

It was only at this time that he had time to take a good bath.

The steaming heat stained his skin until it was white and pink, when he came out of the shower, the ends of his hair were wet. He didn’t care and looked in the mirror, he saw his eyes were slightly red.

If Yao Wenzhu took a good look at him, he could see that his eyes are different from those of ordinary people. He had trembling pupils, which was congenital. He was intervened when he was a child and it alleviated it a lot, but after his parents divorced, he naturally no longer had this treatment, so it slipped in a bad direction again.

Inside his pupils, there was an uncontrollable and unexplained thin, rapid pendulum-like movement of the eyeballs, which could affect vision. Staring at one thing for a long time could cause dizziness and lead to hearing loss.

Although it was a strange disease, to some extent it was a rare visual feast – especially Xie Qi was so beautiful, such eyes were like a butterfly with trembling wing tips, when the sun set, it would sparkle with tiny waves, which was particularly beautiful.

It was a pity Xie Qi’s expression always cold. Although he loved to smile, in fact, most of the time when facing strangers, his face was expressionless. Because he didn’t want people to pay attention to his eyes, so he relied on a cold expression to a certain extent to prevent others from approaching him.

At that time, Yao Wenzhu was so captivated by the look of Xie Qi’s eyes filled with “tears” that she didn’t even notice the issue with his eyeballs. If she had noticed, the smooth deception might not have been as easy to pull off.

However, it wouldn’t matter much. After all, Xie Qi was not a girl; he couldn’t give birth to a baby and pass on this eye problem to the child.

Xie Qi’s eye tremor was not severe, more on the mild to moderate side. After prolonged focus, he felt tired and sore, accompanied by a mild dizziness. However, compared to the soreness, the dizziness was relatively mild.

Feeling his eyes ache again, Xie Qi applied some eye drops and closed his eyes before heading into the kitchen.

.

For lunch, he prepared lotus root stir-fried with scrambled eggs and chili. Since he was really hungry, he decided to eat at home before bringing food to Jiang Sining.

However, the weather was a little rainy, Xie Qi thought of his old broken big black umbrella he had used for five years, feeling a bit sentimental.

Reluctantly, he bought a floral umbrella – the only one left in the small supermarket.

Holding an umbrella in one hand and riding a bicycle with the other, Xie Qi rushed to the hospital.

Upon arrival, his trouser legs, waist, and abdomen were all wet. Holding the umbrella seemed to be in vain.

Xie Qi first delivered food to Jiang Sining and then, before she could engage him in conversation, rushed to the lobby to pay the bill and quickly arrange for Teacher Hou’s surgery.

Without hesitation, Xie Qi paid off the 200,000 yuan he had just received.

He sincerely thanked Yao Wenzhu for providing timely help. The money arrived just in time, allowing him to cover the medical expenses. Otherwise, it would have been very uncomfortable if Teacher Hou passed away.

The man cooked delicious food, although they didn’t communicate much, he was a good person; otherwise, Jiang Sining wouldn’t have agreed to marry him.

Xie Qi hurried to Qin Yizhi’s ward, and his mission was to talk to Qin Yizhi.

Now that he had the money, he had to fulfill his responsibilities; otherwise, he would be another scammer.

But he arrived late.

Upon closer inspection, Qin Yizhi had already been groomed. Yesterday afternoon, green stubble was still visible on his chin, but now it had disappeared, leaving a clean chin. His hair seemed to have been trimmed, revealing a smooth forehead.

Looking at it, Qin Yizhi’s forehead was particularly beautiful. The line from the forehead to the bridge of the nose was very elegant, as if it were outlined by a national treasure-level calligrapher.

He indeed had a very handsome face. Even though he had lost weight, his facial features still exuded a unique charm. Having been in a vegetative state for half a year, his cold temperament was still hard to conceal, pouring out from his stern face.

Xie Qi was momentarily distracted as he looked at him. This person’s temperament was similar to that of the dean of his school, radiating a certain absolute majesty. If he woke up and talked to his mother, he might find out about the lies Xie Qi had told.

At that time, would he seek revenge against him?

.

Xie Qi picked up his phone and checked Wu Zhuang’s chat box. Surprisingly, he hadn’t yet reply yet.

Did he forget? Xie Qi felt a bit uneasy, but he was too lazy to dwell on it now. At least, Qin Yizhi waking up was currently out of the question.

Gathering his emotions, Xie Qi cleared his throat and awkwardly said, “You’re quite handsome…”

As soon as he uttered those words, he cringed a bit. It felt like an awkward attempt at small talk!

Xie Qi decided to take the man’s hand, placing it in his palm. Tentatively, he held the other’s fingers with his own and waited for a response, but there was none.

He let go of the hand, bent down, opened Qin Yizhi’s eyelids with both hands, and observed him closely. “You have quite big eyes.”

Xie Qi sighed, “…”

He was speechless. Did he really want to keep having this awkward conversation?

Earning money was truly a challenging endeavor.

Xie Qi then found a book and began reading it aloud to Qin Yizhi.

“The late Emperor died before his enterprise took root. Today, Yizhou is in distress…”

His voice was as clear and sweet as jade beads falling on a jade plate. He read the text with a deliberately soothing tone, making it a treat for the ears.

After reciting “The Treasure Book,” he continued with “Shu Dao Nan.” In short, he recited for an hour, making himself felt comfortable.

“Alright, today’s chat is over. I’m leaving,” Xie Qi declared, standing up and addressing the man on the bed.

But then, as he thought of something, he paused, glanced at the hanging glucose bottle, and felt a slight twinge of pity.

He asked Qin Yizhi, “Do you need to use the bathroom?”

Of course, Qin Yizhi couldn’t respond. Xie Qi lifted the quilt, raised the hem of his shirt, and touched the bladder area. It didn’t feel swollen, but he could barely sense it.

Qin Yizhi didn’t seem to need to use the bathroom, so Xie Qi whispered, “It seems fine. Then forget it. There should be caregivers taking care of you.”

After adjusting the clothes and covering the man with the quilt, Xie Qi felt earning money had been too easy – casually reciting text for an hour, couldn’t it be anymore simpler? It was almost opportunistic.

Thinking of this, Xie Qi sat back down. “I’ll be going to class tomorrow. I’m a high school senior and quite busy with studies. If you don’t mind, I’ll come by in the evening.”

Xie Qi thought of something, measured Qin Yizhi’s height with his palm – he had measured his palm before, and it was 19cm from the wrist to the fingers. The fingers were long and slender, making it easy to estimate Qin Yizhi’s height.

Exclaiming, he said, “You’re actually 193?”

This was the tallest person Xie Qi had ever encountered.

“Alright, I’m leaving now,” Xie Qi said, retrieving eye drops from his pocket and applying them to alleviate eye pain.

Exiting Qin Yizhi’s ward, he donned his baseball cap and returned to Jiang Sining’s room.
