Qin Zhaoyang leaned on the pillow and stared at Chu Xinning, who was sitting on the bedside serving soup for him, his eyes just reluctant to move away.
After waiting for so many years, he finally waited for her "I do". Even if he died on the operating table, he would have no regrets in his life.
Testing the temperature of the soup, Chu Xinning carefully brought the spoon to his mouth, and Qin Zhaoyang opened his lips and slowly swallowed the soup.
His throat was sore, and every time he swallowed it was a torture. In fact, he didn't feel hungry at all, but he still ate very hard, even though he couldn't taste anything, he felt satisfied in his heart.
After finishing half the bowl of soup, Chu Xinning put down the empty bowl in her hand and carefully wiped the corners of his lips. Finally, she did not forget to find water and gauze to clean his teeth.
Qin Zhaoyang has always loved cleanliness, and she knows this better than anyone else.
The man who had always been domineering was surprisingly obedient. He opened his mouth when she asked him to, and he raised his tongue when she asked him to... He behaved like a sensible child.
It wasn't until Chu Xinning "ordered" him to sleep for a while that the "obedient child" disobeyed the order for the first time.
"Let me wake up for a little while, just a little while, okay?"
The man's tone was pleading. Although he was very tired and just wanted to close his eyes and rest, he still couldn't bear it.
After clearing up the clutter on the table, Chu Xinning sat sideways on the hardwood bench at the head of the bed. She held his palm with one hand and raised the other hand to gently stroke his temple.
The young man who was high-spirited back then has a lot of gray hair now. He and she... are both old.
"Ten minutes, then you can rest." Chu Xinning's voice was gentle, "Don't worry, I will always be here to accompany you."
Qin Zhaoyang immediately shook his head, "No... no need... there are doctors... nurses, please go back early..."
Chu Xinning raised his palm and put her face against the back of his hand.
"I do not go."
His fingers gently brushed her cheek, and Qin Zhaoyang suddenly frowned again.
"Xinning... I'm not dreaming, am I?"
She felt sad, turned her face slightly, and nibbled on the back of his hand.
"Does it hurt?"
Qin Zhaoyang smiled.
"pain!"
Chu Xinning also smiled along with him.
The man took a breath, "You...how did you know that I went...to find Amano?"
"Zifan said something happened to you, so I couldn't bear to come over to take a look. Then... when I saw you leaving, I ran after you and called you, but you didn't hear."
"No wonder... when I just left the hospital, I vaguely heard your voice calling me... I thought I heard wrong... cough... "
He talked a little too much, and he coughed uncontrollably. Chu Xinning was busy helping him gently caress his chest.
"Ten minutes are up, it's time for you to go to sleep."
"So fast?!"
Chu Xinning stood up with her arms raised, raised her right hand to support his face, bent down and kissed him gently on the lips.
"Go to sleep!"
The man smiled contentedly and stared at her for a few more seconds before slowly closing his eyes.
After two seconds, he opened his eyes again.
"I'll say the last...last sentence."
Chu Xinning still maintained the same posture as before, looking down at his face, waiting for what he wanted to say.
Qin Zhaoyang moved his lips and slowly took a deep breath of oxygen.
"Xin Ning, I love you so much!"
Chu Xinning nodded lightly.
"I know!"
Qin Zhaoyang raised his lips slightly, put his hands back to where they were, and relaxed and closed his eyes.
