After the three left, only Su Ruoyi, Chi Zhenqing and Su Xiaoli were left in the ward.
Soon, the nurse came and gave Su Xiaoli an IV.
After Su Xiaoli had some snacks, she asked her mother to tell her a story again. Su Ruoyi had no choice but to sit beside her and accompany her, telling her the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
Su Ruoyi had been avoiding Chi Zhenqing's gaze, but Chi Zhenqing's gaze was too hot and she felt uncomfortable everywhere.
Fortunately, Su Xiaoli had just recovered from a serious illness and fell asleep easily.
Su Ruoyi got down from the hospital bed and covered Su Xiaoli with a blanket.
"Xiao Li has fallen asleep. If you have nothing to do, go back early." Su Ruoyi ordered him to leave.
It just sounds better.
When it reached Chi Zhenqing's ears, it meant the same thing.
"No hurry." He spat out these two words.
I finally found a chance to meet you, but I don’t know when I’ll be able to see you and talk to you next time.
After the last game of truth or dare, the relationship between the two became distant again.
After returning home that day, he became moody and blamed himself for confronting Su Ruoyi head-on in such an occasion.
Some things are better left unsaid.
Su Xiaoli is a lovely child, he likes her very much. The child has been born and has grown up to be a real person.
Why bother to delve into who the father is? Even if you do, you can't avoid the fact that Su Xiaoli is Su Ruoyi's biological daughter.
Su Ruoyi tried to persuade him, "Aren't you going back to City C? It will take a long time to get there from here. If you don't leave now, you will be late for tomorrow's work."
She knew that Chi Zhenqing was still very busy at work, no less busy than her two brothers.
Chi Zhenqing met Su Ruoyi's eyes.
When she spoke, her fingers couldn't help but pinch the bed sheets, and it seemed that she was a little nervous.
After so many years, I still can't change this little habit.
She looks very much like a little child.
In fact, in Chi Zhenqing's memory, Su Ruoyi is just a child, a willful little princess!
A little princess who was spoiled by the Su family.
But the girl in front of me was wearing simple casual clothes, and her long hair was not carefully styled into various styles, but simply tied up, very plain.
She no longer had any expensive jewelry on her.
He heard from his cousin's wife that after having a child, she stopped wearing jewelry for fear of scratching the baby.
Su Ruoyi is the same, right
She used to love all kinds of accessories and was willing to go abroad to attend an auction for a limited edition necklace.
But after she became a mother, she changed so much that he could hardly recognize her.
In the past, when he wanted to leave and Su Ruoyi didn't let him go, she would just hug his thighs and say directly: Chi Zhenqing, don't go, I don't allow you to go, I will be angry if you leave.
It's so frank and straightforward.
Now, the words sound nicer, but the meaning has changed.
She was so considerate and gentle, how could she chase him away
Something happened to the child and only her two brothers were there
Where is the child’s father
All kinds of questions gathered in his mind and turned into one idea, that is, he didn't want to leave yet!
Chi Zhenqing simply said, "I'm not in a hurry to go back today. I came to the capital for something."
He would not tell her that he had arranged for someone to protect Su Ruoyi, and that he came only after he received the news and settled the company!
What made him angry was that his people had been guarding Su Ruoyi for so long but had never waited for the child's father. Moreover, his people only kept an eye on Su Ruoyi and did not protect Su Xiaoli, which led to the accident.
He came to deploy the troops personally.
"What's the matter with you coming to Beijing?" It was probably something about the business. Su Ruoyi didn't understand. "Go and do your business. Xiao Li is asleep too."
The person you came to see is asleep. You can leave now.
Chi Zhenqing picked up the apple and fruit knife on the bedside table and started peeling the apple. He didn't look like he was going to leave at all.
Su Ruoyi, "… "
These meanings.
If he didn't leave, she didn't know how to get rid of him.
Chi Zhenqing peeled apples very quickly, just like he did in the past.
"Xiao Li has fallen asleep, and she has already eaten an apple today, so she can't eat anymore." Su Ruoyi was not refusing, she was speaking from the heart.
It would be a kind of fate for Xiao Li to eat the apple peeled by him himself.
"Who said I peeled the apple for the little girl?" Chi Zhenqing handed the peeled apple to Su Ruoyi. "It's for you. Take it quickly."
Su Ruoyi took it.
She had forgotten when was the last time she ate an apple peeled by Chi Zhenqing.
"Eat quickly, or it will oxidize in a while." Chi Zhenqing said as he went to wash the fruit knife and his hands.
Su Ruoyi was worried about Su Xiaoli. She hadn't eaten properly for two days and happened to be a little hungry.
Just facing the window, eating an apple.
Seeing that she was chewing very enthusiastically, Chi Zhenqing did not go over to disturb her.
Su Ruoyi has changed so much that she is always on guard against him.
Su Ruoyi used to have a bit of baby fat, but now she is too thin.
He is completely different from before.
After Su Ruoyi finished eating the apple, she realized Chi Zhenqing was looking at her. She smiled embarrassedly and ran to wash her hands.
When she came back, her emotions were under control.
"Thanks… "
Chi Zhenqing laughed directly, "I was wondering how you have changed so much and are still so polite. Before, when you wanted to eat an apple, didn't you just grab it from my hand?"
"Ah... Is there? I don't remember..." Su Ruoyi felt a little guilty when she spoke.
Actually, she doesn’t like apples at all!
It’s just that Chi Zhenqing likes to eat apples and often peels them for himself. In order to spend more time with him, Su Ruoyi always has to snatch them away.
Later she found out that Chi Zhenqing had always treated her as a younger sister, so he let her act as she pleased!
It's really not love between us!
"You stole so much food from me and yet you forgot about it." Chi Zhenqing didn't look angry at all.
Su Ruoyi directly took the two apples on the bedside and handed them to Chi Zhenqing, "Apology."
Chi Zhenqing, "… "
He took it.
"That's enough. Xiaoli likes apples very much. She won't give them to anyone who isn't close to her." Su Ruoyi's heart skipped a beat when she said this. She was really stupid. Why did she bring this up!
Chi Zhenqing put the apple back on the bedside table. "Next time I see her, I will definitely buy more. How about I plant some apple trees where you live?"
Su Ruoyi was in a trance for a moment.
She remembered that her wish in the past was to be with Chi Zhenqing and have an apple tree in their yard.
But now...
Even if there are more apple trees, without Chi Zhenqing, it will only add to the sadness!
"Forget it. Just buy whatever you want to eat. Nowadays, even food will be delivered to your home, which is very convenient. Besides, I have no time to take care of the fruit trees since I am taking care of Xiao Li."
