“…There’s nothing to say.”

"Are you straight?" Chi Xu paused, "What I mean is, my sister is getting married, please don't delay her."

Wang Qi rolled his eyes at him. "Nuts."

Then read the contract carefully.

The details of the cooperation were not much different from the original agreement, but the profit was increased by 0.08%.

She rubbed her eyes, her face full of disbelief, "The stingy guy has finally come to his senses."

"compensate."

"…What kind of compensation?"

Chi Xu pursed his lips, and the tips of his ears turned red. "Compensation for being injured."

This confused Wang Qi, "My injury has nothing to do with you."

"...I don't want to type it again."

He pretended to take it, but Wang Qi dodged it sideways.

"Ah...hh..."

"what happened?"

Wang Qi's face turned pale. "It touched the wound."

"I'll go call the doctor." Chi Xu stood up and walked towards the door.

I had just taken a few steps when I was called back.

"Come back and peel the lychees for me."

"Oh..." Chi Xu turned around and sat back on the stool, "Eat a few."

Wang Qi was looking through the contract and replied casually, "I'll peel as many as I can and eat them."

"Don't look at it. I won't tamper with the contract."

"You are a profiteer. I have to be wary of you."

"..."

He picked up a lychee, and with his slender fingers he peeled off the skin, revealing the tender white flesh inside.

"Turn your head around."

Wang Qi turned his head away, but his eyes were still fixed on the contract.

The lychee meat was put into her mouth, and her soft lips accidentally touched the man's fingertips, and the blue veins on her arm suddenly jumped.

"I really owe you."

Wang Qi didn't answer, his cheeks were bulging with food, like a little hamster.

After a while, she leaned over and said, "Hehe..."

Chi Xu reached out his hand and caught it with his palm.

Then, he froze.

How...how did I end up being a babysitter?

"Peel another one."

Chi Xu nodded immediately, "Yeah."

……

Forget it, just treat it as coaxing a child.

The ward was quiet all afternoon, with only the sound of turning pages.

As dusk approached, the sky was filled with auspicious clouds, and the colorful clouds in the sky shone into the ward, making it look like a dream.

A blush covered the girl's pale face, and she looked particularly healthy.

Wang Qi is beautiful and delicate like a flower in a greenhouse.

"I'll be discharged from the hospital in two days. Come pick me up."

Chi Xu was stunned. "Your wound hasn't healed yet, why are you leaving the hospital?"

"There's a doctor at home." Wang Qi sighed, "Aunt Jiang and your mother often come to stay with me for hours."

I've never been so familiar with the elders before, so I always feel a little awkward.

"This place is so small, you can see the end at a glance. If I stay any longer, I'll get depressed."

"How about going to my house?" Chi Xu said, "Xiaoxiao has been at home recently. It's better for you two to be together than for you to be alone at home."

"Okay! It's settled then!"

Chi Xu was stunned for a moment, "You are so straightforward."

A sly look flashed in Wang Qi's eyes, "Then I want to sleep with Xiaoxiao. She will take care of me."

"Hmph," Chi Xu snorted, "With the way she rolls around in her sleep, it's a good thing she didn't crush you to death."

He thought about what had just happened, and he really looked like a pig when he was lying on the ground throwing a tantrum.

"I'm going to complain to Xiaoxiao that you're saying bad things about her behind her back."

"..."

Forget it, I won’t bother with the little girl.

It was getting dark, and Jiang Wan and Lu Wei brought some soup.

Just as Chi Xu was about to leave, Wang Qi grabbed the corner of his clothes.

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw her pleading eyes.

"Wow, this soup is delicious today." Lu Wei approached enthusiastically. "Your uncle Chi caught wild crucian carp by the river. You loved it when you came to our house before."

She actually didn't like soup very much, but she knew what the elders liked to hear.

Her mother likes her strong character. She will fight for whatever she wants, and even if she doesn’t get it in the end, she will not let others get what they want.

Dad likes her to be well-behaved, not competitive, and to be a delicate and weak young lady.

She didn't know whether she could fulfill their wish, but she was very satisfied with her life now.

I have a career and I have friends.

"Thank you, Aunt Lu." Wang Qi smiled obediently, and then secretly pinched Chi Xu's arm in a corner where no one could see.

Chi Xu's hands trembled. "Mom, I won't make soup next time. The doctor said drinking too much soup is not good for wound recovery."

"Is that so..." The joy in Lu Wei's eyes disappeared visibly.

Wang Qi: "It's okay, I like the soup Auntie makes."

Chi Xu: “???”

"That's good, that's good." Lu Wei became happy again. "Auntie's cooking is not any better than your uncle's cooking. This soup is pretty good."

Wang Qi smiled and said, "Auntie's cooking is also very delicious. I have gained weight in the past few days."

Lu Wei smiled even more happily, pushed Chi Xu away, opened the thermos lunch box, and looked relieved.

"You are such a good girl, much more obedient than Xiaoxiao. She has been leaving early and coming back late these past two days, and I don't know what she's been doing. She won't tell me when I ask her, she's so secretive."

Jiang Wan finally spoke, "She's busy, right? Xiaoxiao hasn't had a good rest these past two days, and I hope she gets some sleep. The last time I saw her, she looked haggard, with dark circles under her eyes that were practically falling to the ground."

Lu Wei: "When it comes to Xiaoxiao, it feels like you care about her more than my own mother."

Jiang Wan thought: If it weren’t for the fact that my son needs a wife, it’s hard to say who his biological mother is.

"As long as she doesn't make a decision, I feel empty inside."

With three sons, there must be one who can make a name for himself.

If the only son of the Wang family gets there first and snatches her daughter-in-law away, she will be ruthless and destroy her!

No matter what, put the pressure on Xiaoli. If you don't marry her, he will be in trouble!

"She's only 23, it's the time for her to have fun," Lu Wei consoled her. "Give her some time."

A few of them chatted idly until seven in the evening, when everyone dispersed.

Only Wang Qi was left lying on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the incandescent light above his head.

She didn't know if it was because of the glare of the light or something else, but gradually, her eyes became hot and two lines of tears flowed out.

After the hustle and bustle died down, she stayed where she was, staring out the window in a daze.

Two sparrows flew in from somewhere and stood by the bed, chirping.

Birds are not affectionate and cannot speak.

After a while, it flew away.

You can't keep people, nor can you keep birds.

Wang Qi sighed, stood up, opened the window, looked at the dim lights outside, and felt unusually calm in his heart.

After a long time, she closed the window, lay on the bed, covered her face with the quilt, and sobbed silently.

The moonlight outside the window is bright, clear and fog-free, with mottled stars.

It was late at night, and the person on the other bed tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and pounded the bed loudly.
