Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 366
Chapter 366: Envious
Qingli was suffering from an acute gastric perforation caused by drinking excessive alcohol and he needed to be hospitalized.
Shen Xi had just paid for the treatment and when she returned to him, the doctor instructed her on what she needed to pay attention to as well as informing her that the patient needed further observation before the operation.
“Lil Ye, you should go home first. I’ll watch over him.” Shen Xi felt that she must have owed Fu Qingli in her past life.
Out of all the times and places where he could have fainted, he walked in front of her and passed out. He was deliberately looking for trouble with her.
“I’ll stay with you.” Song Wenye looked at her with concern. “Can you handle it alone?”
“Even if I can’t, I have to. The hospital has a strict rule that each patient can only have one chaperone. The nurse will come over later to kick visitors out,” Shen Xi said.
“Then I’ll go buy you some dinner. I’ll go back after we eat.” Song Wenye wanted to accompany her, but the hospital had its rules.
When Song Wenye went out, she could not help but look at the man on the bed again. This man looked so handsome. It turned out that he was the oldest Fu brother, Fu Qingli.
The Fu family’s genes were simply exquisite. Three sons each had different personalities and strengths, each one more handsome than the other.
The eldest Fu brother had the aura of an emperor. Even when he was lying there quietly, no one would dare approach him.
She looked at him and only felt pure admiration for his beauty. She was in awe and the last thing she would have is any disrespectful thought because that would be blasphemous.
“Lil Ye…” Shen Xi wanted to decline and tell her to go straight home, but Song Wenye ran away before she could say more.
Song Wenye moved so quickly like a rabbit and did not spare Shen Xi a chance to refuse.
This was a triple-bed ward. Besides the patients, there were also caretakers and family members, so the ward was a little noisy.
Shen Xi pulled the curtain that divided the patients and moved a chair to sit by the hospital bed. She then looked at the sickly pale man on the bed.
Even when he was unconscious, he still had such a noble, oppressive, and cold aura.
He was really strong and worthy of holding power in the Fu family. Acute gastric perforation caused excruciating pain for regular people to be writhing in pain, yet he could still walk like a normal person in front of her.
‘If you’re so strong and capable, don’t faint from the pain then… Aren’t you afraid that I’ll mock you for blacking out in front of me? Proud son of a b*tch!’
After a while, Shen Xi saw Song Wenye coming in with several plastic bags. “Didn’t I tell you to go home?”
Song Wenye chuckled and put the food on the table. She then borrowed a chair from the next bed and said with a smile, “We were supposed to have dinner together first.”
They were so busy taking Fu Qingli to the hospital that they forgot about dinner. After running around for about three to four hours, it was already 10:30 pm.
Shen Xi looked at her and said, “Then you can leave after dinner.”
“Okay,” Song Wenye nodded obediently and brought out all the food.
She bought a variety of food, including fried noodles, skewers, spicy soup, milk tea, and other snacks and drinks, but the taste was just mediocre, good enough to fill their stomachs. The two of them had been starving, so mediocre food still tasted delicious when they ate together.
Song Wenye cleaned up the table when they were done eating.
Shen Xi was called away by the nurse.
Song Wenye put the trash bag next to her and waited for Shen Xi to return. She leaned on the table and stared at the man on the bed. Her eyes could not conceal her awe.
Xixi was too lucky. All three of the Fu brothers were very close to her, and Toffeecito’s dad was also such a stunner.
‘Sigh… I’m so jealous and envious of Xixi.’
Shen Xi came in with the medicine and looked at Song Wenye. “Don’t fool around anywhere else and go straight home. We still have class tomorrow.”
“Okay, okay… Why are you so naggy?” Although Song Wenye sounded annoyed, she felt warm inside. She bent down to pick up the trash and pointed to the man on the bed, “When do you think he’ll wake up?”
“I don’t know. The nurse only said that he needs to take this medicine when he wakes up.” Shen Xi’s tone was calm as she put the medicine on the table.
“I’ll leave first then.” Song Wenye took the trash with her and walked two steps before turning back. “You should get some shuteye too. Since they didn’t say he needed surgery, I guess it’s not that serious.”
Shen Xi nodded. “Give me a call when you get home.”
“Okay.” Song Wenye smiled at her, revealing her pearly whites. She then pointed to the bag on the table. “There are a few bottles of water with some cookies and bread. Eat them when you’re hungry.”
Shen Xi watched Song Wenye leave. The family next door asked her to turn off the lights, so she did and sat next to the bed to watch over the man.
She felt that she was the kindest angel. Fu Qingli hated her so much, yet she was keeping watch on him for the night.
This guy did not even have a phone on him, so he must have left it in the car. Since they rushed to the hospital, they forgot to take his phone and could not contact his people to come to pay for his hospital bills and care for him.
Shen Xi wanted to call Fu Qingye and Fu Qingxuan to ask them for a contact, but she was afraid that they would be worried. ‘Forget it, I can look after him for one night, just take it as community service…’
She had a long day, so she felt sleepy. After a while of staring at him, she laid on the bed and fell asleep.
When Fu Qingli opened his eyes, he saw the plain incandescent lamp on the ceiling and smelled disinfectant mixed with a variety of strange smells, which made him frown with disgust.
The quilt over his body had an indescribable smell too, so he wanted to lift it. However, the moment he turned his head, he suddenly stopped moving.
‘Shen Xi? It is… It is her…’
The last moment before he blacked out, he saw her.
The little girl next to him used her arms as a pillow and her small face was facing him. Through the dim light, he could see her.
This was the first time he looked at her up close and so carefully.
When the girl was asleep, she did not look so aggressive and resembled his mother.
Her eyelashes were long and thick, like little brushes that fluttered slightly with her long, steady breathing. It left a faint shadow below her eyes.
Her nose was very pretty, with a high nose bridge and nice curve that made him want to touch it.
Her lips were beautiful too. It was a healthy red and was neither too thin nor thick. It was just the right fullness. Perhaps her nose was a little stuffy because her lips opened and closed slightly from time to time as if she would start to snore at any moment.
The iciness in Fu Qingli disappeared little by little and the tenderness in his eyes started to emerge. The thick layer of ice that covered his heart started to melt slowly as he looked at her with fascination.
This was the first time he saw this girl so cute and lovely. This was what she looked like in her sleep.
