On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

Less than a minute after Chi Yuxing left, Chi Mu arrived on time as Chen Qian expected.

Perhaps because he had just seen Chi Yuxing's appearance, Chen Qian felt inexplicably relieved when he saw Chi Mu's face, which was very similar to his, but without the scar.

"Chi Yuxing, come here." Chi Mu said without any warning, his tone very affirmative.

He noticed the surprise in Chen Qian's eyes and explained, "I ran into him in the stairwell. He should have gone to see Chi Yuyuan, but he took the stairs instead of the elevator, so I guessed it."

"And..." He pointed to the low table next to the chair Chi Yuxing had just sat on. On it was a deformed milk carton. He casually tossed the carton into the trash can. "You haven't been drinking much milk lately, and that position isn't convenient for you."

"That's right." Chen Qian nodded. Chi Mu was really sensitive, and he commented silently.

The recent days have been a bit too leisurely, and Chen Qian was basking in the early morning sun, feeling lazy. His hand holding the book was much looser, and the pages were slightly tilted upwards.

He yawned, and his eyes became slightly moist due to fatigue, blurring the bright spot in his eyes and making him look hazy.

He couldn't continue reading the book. The more he read, the sleepier he felt. Chen Qian had a sense of crisis that he would fall into the pages of the book in the next second.

Chen Qian put the bookmark between the papers and closed the book.

He rubbed the soft flesh of his cheeks with his cool hands, trying to wake himself up with this action, but it had little effect.

He raised his hands and lifted himself up into the air, stretching his lumbar spine, which had become stiff from long periods of inactivity. He tilted his head to look at Chi Mu, who had been very quiet. He, too, was holding a book in his hands, reading it intermittently.

As he watched, Chen Qian suddenly found it a little funny.

He suddenly thought that in a while, when Zhong Yi came, this room would no longer look like a hospital ward.

At that time, anyone who came in would probably think this was a reading room, because everyone was holding a book and studying hard.

"What's wrong?" Chi Mu also raised his head and looked at Chen Qian who was staring at him in a daze with some confusion.

"No," Chen Qian shook his head, "I just think it's quite comfortable and relaxing this way."

Chen Qian put the book back on the shelf. He suddenly realized something. "By the way, Miss Shi and Yu Bai, don't they come to the hospital to visit us regularly?"

"Shi Gongxi has come a few times, but as for Yubai..." Chi Mu paused before continuing, "Yubai seems to have started taking early childhood education classes at home since I went back last time. But tomorrow is the weekend, so Yubai should be here."

"Really? Then I'll have to look forward to it. I haven't seen him for just a few days, but I still miss him a little." Chen Qian held his chin with his hand, his eyes a little dazed.

They continued chatting for a while, talking about this and that.

A few minutes later, Chi Mu was still talking aimlessly. After he finished speaking, he waited for a long time, but Chen Qian didn't reply.

He looked up blankly, only to find that Chen Qian had already fallen asleep leaning against the head of the bed.

Chi Mu chuckled helplessly, stood up, laid the shaky Chen Qian down on the bed, and tucked the quilt tightly for him.

After doing all this, he stayed on the chair beside the bed, quietly guarding Chen Qian's dreams.

……

Chen Qian didn't remember when he fell asleep. The only memory in his mind was when he was chatting with Chi Mu and he took the initiative to bring up Shi Xixi and Chi Yubai. The rest was a bit blank.

His mind was not yet fully clear, and he struggled hard in the quilt, causing the iron bed to creak.

"Are you awake? You haven't had lunch yet. Are you hungry?" A concerned voice sounded beside the bed.

Another cheerful voice followed: "Qian'er, you were a thief last night. No matter how I called you, you wouldn't wake up."

He opened his heavy eyelids and saw Yu Wangxi's big face. He was so scared that his whole body trembled and he couldn't help but gasp.

"Oh my god! Why are you so close to me?!"

Yu Wangxi frowned, quickly got out of bed, and retorted, "Hey, my goodness—I come all the way here to bring you lunch every day, and you don't even praise me for the hot meals. Now you're taking a nap and I'm concerned about you, but you're disgusted by me!"

His eyes rolled upwards exaggeratedly, like a soybean emoji. "The world is declining, the world is cruel, and the world isolates me."

"Come on, who can resist a kiss on the cheek as soon as they wake up?" Chen Qian was not to be outdone. He replied while sitting up.
