Re-engraving the Spring - Chapter 39

Lu Ming didn’t want him to worry, so he responded and bit down the bun in Chi Qiu’s hand in two bites: “I’m full, don’t worry about me, eat it yourself.”

This bun was not too small. After Chi Qiu fed it to Lu Ming, he was in the mood to eat. He was actually starving. He touched the bedside table with his left hand, grabbed a bun and started to dig in. After eating one, he hesitated for a while, then reached out and grabbed another one.

Chi Qiu was a little embarrassed: “Yanchen bought too many, I’ll eat another one.” After saying that, he turned slightly sideways and took a bite.

He looked up and said with surprise, “It’s pumpkin stuffed, do you want to try it?”

“No.”

Lu Ming, afraid that he would choke, opened the soy milk on the bedside table and handed it over, gently touching the back of Chi Qiu’s hand: “Drink some soy milk, don’t choke.”

Chi Qiu’s cheeks were bulging, and he didn’t think much: “I can’t hold it, drink it later.” His right hand was inconvenient, so he took a bite of the steamed bun using his left hand.

Lu Ming held up the soy milk: “I’ll hold it for you, there’s no hurry, you take your time to eat.”

The soy milk was fresh and sweet to quench his thirst. Chi Qiu took two sips and said vaguely, “It’s delicious.”

When he finished the bun in his hand, the soy milk that Lu Ming was holding also reached the bottom. After eating and drinking, Chi Qiu was much more energetic; he touched the wall and went to the bathroom in the ward to rinse his mouth and brush his teeth, as well as wash his face.

Lu Ming didn’t wake up last night and Chi Qiu didn’t have any thoughts. Even the disposable toiletries that Ji Yanchen helped them buy in the small supermarket downstairs wasn’t moved by Chi Qiu.

Lu Ming was leaning on the hospital bed, the wound on his back was painful. Fortunately, the broken skin was not on that part of his back, otherwise he could only lie on his stomach now. Lu Ming picked up the mobile phone on the side and saw several messages from Xu Ling.

He thought that Xu Ling should have seen the news of the theater accident this morning.

Lu Ming turned on his phone, and as he expected, Xu Ling planned to come to City C. Lu Ming called and the other party’s phone was turned off, so he might have boarded the plane by now.

He had to send Xu Ling a message saying he was safe first, hoping he could see it when he got off the plane.

“Lu Ming, let me wipe it for you.”

Chi Qiu’s voice appeared crisp, he pretended to have mapped out the route and walked straight towards Lu Ming. In his hand was a plastic wash basin filled with one-third of warm water and a soaked towel.

Lu Ming said: “I hurt my back, not my legs, I can go to the bathroom to wash myself.” When he saw Chi Qiu stopped in place, he supported his arms and tried to get up, “You stand still, I’ll come over.”

“No!” Chi Qiu was so anxious that he almost couldn’t hold the wash basin steadily. He made a sound to stop Lu Ming’s actions, walked over with great care and put the basin of warm water on the chair next to Lu Ming’s bed, “The doctor said you still need to recuperate in these two days.”

Regardless of Lu Ming’s attitude, Chi Qiu said to him: “I can still do this little thing.”

He strained to squeeze the towel with one hand, after squeezing out most of the water inside, he touched to find Lu Ming’s hand, and went up to Lu Ming’s arm, shoulder, neck, and finally cheek. Chi Qiu carefully and gently helped him wipe, insisting on the responsibility of taking care of Lu Ming.

Seeing that Chi Qiu’s injured arm was still wrapped in gauze, Lu Ming’s face was serious as he took the towel from Chi Qiu’s hand: “I’ll wipe it myself, it’s not convenient for you with one hand.”

After being rejected, Chi Qiu was not annoyed, he naturally had things to do. He took his guide stick and hurriedly went to the bathroom again.

This time, he took another basin with a toothbrush holder filled with water and a toothbrush with toothpaste squeezed on it.

After seeing it, Lu Ming had an indescribable feeling: “…”

In order to live up to Chi Qiu’s kindness, Lu Ming completed a full set of washing in bed, and finally leaned back to rest on the hospital bed.

Chi Qiu obediently sat on the chair beside his bed, until Lu Ming rushed him to catch up on his sleep, then he reluctantly went to the next bed and lay down.

He said he was not sleepy, but as soon as he got into bed, his eyelids fought disobediently, and soon he was deep in sleep. Perhaps he was too tired in these two days, and for the first time in front of Lu Ming, he let out a slight snoring sound.

It was not unpleasant; it was a small and faint snoring sound, just as careful as Chi Qiu, afraid of disturbing others.

Lu Ming had nothing to do, so he looked at Chi Qiu, looking at his long eyelashes and delicate appearance.

In fact, Lu Ming knew in his heart that Chi Qiu was very good-looking, so when he saw Chi Qiu’s information, he accepted in his heart that this person wanted to spend a lifetime with him.

No one hated a gentle, obedient and beautiful partner.

Chi Qiu, who was in deep sleep, let out a long breath, and Lu Ming hurriedly looked away.

After a while, Lu Ming looked at him again, again and again, for two hours.

It was not until Chi Qiu woke up from the sleep that Lu Ming calmly withdrew his gaze.

Every few minutes after Chi Qiu woke up, he got a little confused. He probably forgot that his right hand was injured, and carelessly tried to rub his eyes with his right hand, but when he lifted it up, the wound woke him up with a burning pain.

He let out a short huff and his eyes were moist.

Lu Ming immediately looked towards him and saw an aggrieved Chi Qiu, who was drooping his head and lightly clutching his right arm in remorse. It was a bit miserable, but it was really interesting.

Why didn’t Lu Ming know that Chi Qiu’s expression could be so rich?

But soon, Lu Ming was no longer able to secretly appreciate Chi Qiu’s little expression. He hadn’t been to the bathroom since last night.

The sudden urge to pee made it difficult for Lu Ming to speak. He repeatedly tried to get up by himself, but found that he had to be helped before he could land on his feet.

Lu Ming regretted not hiring a nurse in time.

The attentive Chi Qiu noticed Lu Ming’s strange behavior and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“…”

“Are you uncomfortable? I’ll call the doctor.” Chi Qiu wanted to ring the bell on the bedside.

Lu Ming stopped his hand and opened his mouth twice before saying, “I want to go to the toilet.”

Chi Qiu paused and asked a strange question: “…Big or small?”

Lu Ming also paused, and answered truthfully, “Small.”

They were silent for about half a minute. Under Lu Ming’s puzzled eyes, Chi Qiu silently squatted down and pulled out a plastic bag from under the bed.

Chi Qiu looked inside hesitantly, and then, with a red face, he took out a dark blue urinal.

Lu Ming inexplicably looked at the urinal in Chi Qiu’s hand and felt the corner of his mouth twitching slightly. He didn’t need to use his brain to know who did this good thing.

Sure enough, Chi Qiu revealed the ‘culprit’ and said: “Yanchen is worried that you won’t be able to get out of bed, so he bought this for you. Can you use it?” He was afraid that Lu Ming would be embarrassed, “I can’t see, you don’t need to feel embarrassed. I’ll lock the door when you use it later.”

Lu Ming: “…”

Seeing that Lu Ming did not say anything, Chi Qiu lowered his voice: “It was specially bought by Yanchen. The doctor also said that it would be very convenient to go to the toilet with this.”

Specially?

Lu Ming didn’t believe that Ji Yanchen was so kind. He just said that he was not seriously injured, but a urinal suddenly appeared. Lu Ming concluded that Ji Yanchen just wanted to see him become a joke. Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with the urinal in Chi Qiu’s hand and didn’t want to use it at all

Lu Ming took a deep breath and asked Chi Qiu to put the urinal back in a stiff tone.

Chi Qiu squeezed the handle of the urinal and stood in place with difficulty.

Lu Ming had no choice but to say, “You help me up, I’ll go to the bathroom.”

“You can’t stand up steadily.” Chi Qiu anxiously explained, “I know your leg is fine, but the doctor said that you need to recuperate, try not to get up. It will be bad if you accidentally fall.”

Chi Qiu felt that the floor of the bathroom was slippery, and if Lu Ming went in, he would inevitably be worried.

He tried several times to persuade Lu Ming to use the urinal in his hand, and repeatedly assured that he would lock the door and would turn his back. Even if he was a blind man, he would never turn around and make Lu Ming feel embarrassed.

Chi Qiu was a person who was easily worried. The more he said, the more anxious he became. He was full of fear that Lu Ming would fall.

And Lu Ming didn’t care: “You hold me, I won’t fall.”

“Me?” Chi Qiu could not believe his ears.

But Lu Ming had reached out and grabbed the urine pot from his hand and threw it to the side of the bed. He smoothly held Chi Qiu’s hand: “I believe in you.”
