Chapter 58: Two Straight and Beautiful Legs
The room had only one bed, which she had slept in during the day, and she knew there was a crisp dicinal fragrance on the bedding, characteristic of Zhao Xiyan.
Standing in front of the bed and wondering what to do next, she suddenly heard the sound of a wheelchair from outside.
She walked to the door in a fluster, just about to open it, when suddenly she thought better of it, feeling like a young wife eagerly awaiting her husband’s return.
So, she quickly turned around and went to the other side to organize the closet.
Although she hadn’t stayed in this room for the last few nights, her things had been stored with Zhao Xiyan’s.
Sure enough, the door creaked open, and Zhao Xiyan wheeled himself into the room.
By then, Qi Yue had figured out a way to get through the night without awkwardness.
Rushing to speak before Zhao Xiyan could, she blurted out, “I’ll go get you a glass of water.”
Running flustered to the living room, Qi Yue realized she was nervous, and then she felt a bit disheartened.
She didn’t even know what she was worried about.
What could Zhao Xiyan possibly do to her?
Was he even capable of movent?
Little did she know that at that mont in the room, Zhao Xiyan had effortlessly hoisted himself onto the bed using his arms.
He leaned against the headboard, glanced at the spot next to him, and a mysteriously charming smile appeared on his handso face.
After dawdling in the living room for quite so ti, Qi Yue heard Shen Yu coming this way again. She quickly dropped a fast-acting sleeping pill into a glass and brought it to the room.
She had always said she would find ti to check Zhao Xiyan’s legs, and tonight presented a good opportunity.
As expected, after drinking the water, Zhao Xiyan fell into a deep sleep imdiately.
Qi Yue quickly took him to the space.
In the clinic’s dical room, there was the most advanced CT scanner at that ti, and with a quick scan of Zhao Xiyan’s legs, she could find out what the issue was.
The scan startled Qi Yue considerably.
According to the scan results, the injuries to Zhao Xiyan’s legs were very peculiar.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with the bones in his legs, but all the sinew in his legs had necrotized.
It was preliminarily determined that his sinew and blood vessels were damaged right after the initial fall from the horse.
But the doctor had treated it as a common fall injury, and there might also be a possibility that it was done deliberately.
As ti passed, the blood vessels deteriorated even more, and during this period, he had used a large amount of painkillers, completely numbing his nerves, rendering his legs immobile.
Qi Yue decided to record the diagnostic results first, and planned to confirm them with Zhao Xiyan the next morning before considering a specific treatnt plan.
After putting Zhao Xiyan back into bed, Qi Yue looked at the spot inside the bed and felt sowhat bashful.
Despite being a strong woman, unfazed by slaughtering cattle or felling n, in the presence of Zhao Xiyan, she was like an innocent young girl.
Recalling how Zhao Xiyan had smiled at her when she brought the water earlier and told her to sleep on the inside that night.
It seed that he was not at all averse to sharing the bed with her.
Qi Yue glanced again at that excessively beautiful face and climbed into the bed.
When she had decided to build the house, she had already half-intended not to leave.
Of course, that half was her own thinking, while the other half depended on Zhao Xiyan.
She still held to the sa principle, she wanted a relationship of equals, not a one-sided infatuation.
The next day, before dawn, Zhao Xiyan had already awakened.
This was a habit ford from his early years of training; no matter when he slept, he would always wake up before dawn.
He habitually stretched his arms to lift his body, planning to sit up, but then he noticed his clothes seed a bit disheveled.
When he slept, he always had the right side of his shirt covering the left, but now…
What had happened last night? He couldn’t feel anything.
This feeling was too similar to the ti Qi Yue had dicated him…
Thinking of Qi Yue, he quickly looked beside him and imdiately understood.
This little girl, how worried was she that he was going to do sothing to her, even going as far as to drug him.
A helpless and wry smile crossed his face as he gently squeezed his legs with both hands.
Given the current situation, even if he wanted to do sothing, he had to weigh himself and consider whether he was worthy of Qi Yue.
He was unwilling and would not treat her lightly.
At that mont, Qi Yue beside him turned over, and he hurriedly withdrew his gaze from her back. Just as he was about to greet her, he saw a bright white, jade-like arm swing over, landing squarely on his legs.
His heart skipped a beat, and he hurried to check on Qi Yue, only to find that she was still sound asleep.
Her sleeping posture was beautiful.
Just like when she had her back to him, she slept on her side, curling up slightly.
This posture highlighted the already strong advantages of her figure, making it appear even more mountainous and well-defined.
And her face, now completely thinned down, looked just like a little baby’s as she slept, her mouth puckering slightly as if she was aggrieved in her dream.
For a mont, Zhao Xiyan felt a heat so intense that it seared through his limbs and bones, almost making him shiver.
He hurriedly closed his eyes and stopped looking at her, but the arm resting on his leg continued to send waves of warmth to him, causing his heart to fluctuate wildly, unable to calm down.
Zhao Xiyan felt a bit of regret.
If he had known this situation would arise, he wouldn’t have stayed in bed for fear of waking her.
Perhaps, he could have seen Qi Yue’s embarrassed and blushing face when she awoke.
“Mmm…”
Qi Yue finally turned over again in her sleep, and her arm retracted as well.
Only then did Zhao Xiyan breathe a huge sigh of relief.
But reflecting on that mont, he couldn’t help but touch his chest and wear a nostalgic smile on his lips.
However, before he could finish smiling, he saw Qi Yue rubbing her eyes and briskly sitting up.
“Are you awake too? Do you need help?”
Realizing she was asking if he needed help getting into his wheelchair, Zhao Xiyan raised an eyebrow and, with a slight effort, got out of bed.
Not hearing Qi Yue speak, Zhao Xiyan hurriedly looked over, only to see her still half-squinting, seemingly not fully awake, yet her hands were busy tidying her clothes and hair.
Suddenly, his heart felt very uncomfortable.
If only he could be more capable, he wouldn’t have to make her work so hard, hardly getting a good sleep.
“Yueyue.”
“Hmm?”
“It’s still early, go back to sleep for a while.”
Little did he know, Qi Yue had always been srized by his voice.
This sentence, filled with concern and self-reproach, instantly woke up the still sowhat groggy Qi Yue.
“Ah.”
She panicked and gathered the blanket around her, only to realize that everything was not as she had imagined.
“I’m, I’m awake now,” she said as she threw off the blanket and got out of bed.
Her eyes fell on Zhao Xiyan’s long legs, and she imdiately rembered the results of the examination last night, promptly stopping in her tracks.
“Oh, right, last night, I saw you were sleeping deeply, so I did a leg exam for you.”
“You examined my legs?”
Zhao Xiyan instantly tightened his legs, and his eyes showed a hint of panic.
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Qi Yue worried that he might have misunderstood and couldn’t help but explain.
“Don’t worry, I examined you through your clothes, I didn’t see anything.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiyan visibly relaxed, which imdiately made Qi Yue feel rather choked up.
Was he worried that she had seen him undressed?
Well, although she hadn’t lifted his clothes yesterday, she did indeed see his beautiful, straight legs through the CT machine.
Such long, straight calves, he must be very tall when standing…
She thought randomly, completely unaware that Zhao Xiyan’s dark eyes had deepened even more.
