Gu Yanjing looked at her without speaking.
Qiao Yuxian tried to sit up in protest: "I don’t want to stay here."
Gu Yanjing directly pressed her back down: "Stay here."
"I’m fine now. I’m all better," Qiao Yuxian said. "I can run two laps around the hospital now."
Gu Yanjing pretended not to hear.
"I’m really all better," Qiao Yuxian said.
Mr. Gu still pretended not to hear.
Seeing he didn’t react, Qiao Yuxian gave up and lay back down on the bed.
After a while, she kicked her legs twice in frustration.
Gu Yanjing held her hand and said, "Be good."
Qiao Yuxian dared not act up, so she glared at him fiercely.
Gu Yanjing let her kick for a while, then kissed her eyes: "We’ll go ho tomorrow."
Qiao Yuxian continued to glare at him, paused, and said, "Kiss again."
Gu Yanjing kissed her again.
Qiao Yuxian was satisfied and said, "Then you can go ho. I can stay here by myself."
"I’m staying here," Gu Yanjing said.
"You won’t rest well here," Qiao Yuxian said. "I’m really fine."
"Not going back," Gu Yanjing said.
Qiao Yuxian had no way to deal with him and eventually stopped talking, letting him be.
That night, Gu Yanjing hardly slept and kept watching Qiao Yuxian.
Just because the doctor ntioned the possibility of a recurrence, he was worried about Qiao Yuxian feeling unwell.
Qiao Yuxian’s dizziness did scare him.
Fortunately, there were no recurring issues after she fell asleep.
The next morning, Qiao Yuxian wanted to go ho as soon as she woke up.
But the doctor asked her to have two more bottles of IV, so she had to obediently stay for the infusion.
Gu Yanjing didn’t go to work and stayed with her in the hospital.
Qiao Yuxian felt better since the night before.
During the morning infusion, she leaned against the bedhead, eating an apple, crossing her legs, and watching dramas.
Gu Yanjing was sitting beside her, handling work.
After finishing one bottle, the nurse adjusted the dication, and Shang Chen ca over with his IV bottle.
Qiao Yuxian opened her mouth, the movent to bite the apple paused. She looked at Shang Chen, who had a needle in his hand and was holding an IV bottle with a grim expression.
Shang Chen glanced at her, entered the ward, and said, "Mr. Gu."
Gu Yanjing looked up at him: "Feeling better?"
"Better," Shang Chen replied.
Qiao Yuxian looked at them and asked, "What’s wrong with Shang Chen?"
"Gastroenteritis," Gu Yanjing said. "He ate too much ice cream last night."
With a grim face, Shang Chen didn’t speak.
Qiao Yuxian was stunned for a mont, then laughed, teasing Shang Chen, "Shang Chen, your health isn’t that great, huh?"
Shang Chen gave her a glance and ignored her.
Qiao Yuxian laughed out loud.
Shang Chen’s face darkened even more.
Gu Yanjing let Shang Chen sit down.
Shang Chen found a place to hang the IV bottle and sat down, saying, "Mr. Gu, Zhao Shing went to Jingyu Garden. She’s been waiting there for over an hour."
Qiao Yuxian watched them.
Gu Yanjing said, "Let her wait."
Qiao Yuxian said nothing, leaned back on the bed, took a bite of her apple, and continued watching the drama.
Shang Chen and Gu Yanjing discussed so other matters.
After finishing, the ward beca quiet.
Qiao Yuxian watched the drama for a while, then looked at Shang Chen.
Shang Chen looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian glanced at him, then gestured with her fingers, wearing a look of disdain: Yours is slower.
Shang Chen glanced at his IV line, then at Qiao Yuxian’s, his eyes saying: Yours is slower.
Qiao Yuxian silently laughed: No way! Yours is slower.
Shang Chen, expressionless: Yours is slower.
Qiao Yuxian: Yours is slower.
Shang Chen: Yours is slower.
They were on the verge of a remote argunt.
"Ahem," Gu Yanjing, looking at his computer, coughed without lifting his head.
Qiao Yuxian imdiately focused back on her tablet, continuing to watch the drama.
Shang Chen also lowered his gaze, pretending nothing had happened.
Gu Yanjing continued with his work and didn’t look at them.
He just sighed helplessly in his heart.
Qiao Yuxian loved teasing Shang Chen too much.
Shang Chen fell for it every ti.
He never learned from his mistakes.
It was like a schoolyard quarrel.
He felt like an elentary school teacher, always breaking up fights.
...
Zhao Shing waited at Jingyu Garden for most of the day without seeing Gu Yanjing or Qiao Yuxian.
Only when leaving did she bump into Su Qi coming to Jingyu Garden.
She asked Su Qi when Qiao Yuxian and the others would be back.
Su Qi smiled warmly and said, "My wife’s in the hospital with a mushroom allergy, and Mr. Gu is accompanying her."
Zhao Shing paused, feeling she was foolish for not thinking to go to the hospital.
Su Qi continued, "Mrs. Sheng didn’t know? Our wife had an allergic reaction yesterday after dining with you."
Zhao Shing looked at Su Qi and said, "I-I didn’t know."
"Oh, I see," Su Qi said. "I thought you knew our wife is allergic to certain fungi."
