Chapter 39

I don't like it, you can have it all.

Gu Shuang looked embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Xu Sui at all. She lowered her head, picked up the can of yellow peaches, and quickly ran inside.

They quickly arrived in front of Qin Yunzhou.

Looking at the weak and pale man on the hospital bed, her expression was indifferent, her eyes were full of detachment, and her gaze was almost devoid of emotion.

Gu Shuang's body stiffened for a moment, and it took her a long time to gradually recover.

She placed the can of yellow peaches she was holding on the cabinet beside her, and subconsciously looked down, clutching the hem of her clothes. "Brother, are you... are you alright? Are you feeling okay?"

Qin Yunzhou said calmly, "It's nothing. We've seen the person. Let's go back."

Almost ten days have passed since he was discharged from the hospital after the accident.

The most dangerous day was the day I was taken to the operating room of the military hospital.

The operating room door that day.

The only people who stayed there were Xu Sui and a few others, including Ma Dazhuang, whom he had saved.

His beloved cousin has yet to appear.

Now that so many days have passed and he is out of danger, if Gu Shuang doesn't want to have anything to do with him, then she shouldn't come to see him.

Gu Shuang bit her lip, her eyes reddening. "Brother, are you... blaming me?"

"I don't blame you, but now I'm surnamed Qin, and you're surnamed Gu. I'm no longer your brother, so you don't need to come see me." Qin Yunzhou didn't want to have anything to do with anyone from the Gu family.

"Take your things out of here. I'm tired and want to rest."

Let bygones be bygones; people must learn to let go and look forward.

Moreover, those days in the Gu family were just a mistake, and now that the mistake has been corrected, everything should get back on track.

He never hated the Gu family for being heartless, showing no regard for the years of relationship they had shared.

But he couldn't be completely without distance, after all, they were the father and mother he had called for over twenty years.

Therefore, it's good that we each go our own way.

As for his cousin, she had already made her choice, and he didn't blame her. But as he said before, he couldn't treat her like a younger sister anymore; it was better to treat her like a stranger.

"Brother, I don't care, you're the only brother I recognize." Gu Shuang's eyes reddened even more, and tears streamed down her face as she stepped forward to grab Qin Yunzhou's hand.

The next second, however, it was easily dodged.

Qin Yunzhou frowned slightly. "Comrade Gu Shuang, please leave."

"Don't come here again."

He was no longer Gu Yunzhou, the only son of the Gu family, the former military region leader; he was just an ordinary person from a humble background.

Having too much contact with him won't do her any good.

……

outside the ward.

Xu Sui didn't go in; she left the space to the two of them.

A moment later, the door to the ward creaked open.

Gu Shuang ran out crying, covering her face, and disappeared in a flash.

She looks quite sad.

Xu Sui shook her head. Why is she crying again? She can cry so much. She doesn't even know how many times she has cried today.

She turned and went into the ward, closed the door, and immediately saw the two bottles of canned yellow peaches that Gu Shuang had brought.

This thing isn't cheap; it would cost Gu Shuang at least half a month's salary.

However, it's hard to buy in this remote area; most likely, it's bought from elsewhere.

Qin Yunzhou remained the same as before, showing no change in emotion.

He didn't say anything, and Xu Sui didn't ask. Instead, she changed the subject and started talking about something else.

"I asked Dr. Feng last night, and he said that although your recovery ability is good, just to be on the safe side, you will need to stay in the hospital for another ten days to two weeks before you can be discharged."

"Once you're discharged from the hospital, we'll buy train tickets to go back to our hometown."

Someone with mobility issues like him definitely needs a sleeper ticket, and sleeper tickets are hard to get; you have to pull strings.

However, the military should make arrangements.

Qin Yunzhou nodded, his gaze falling on the faint dark circles under Xu Sui's eyes.

Her skin is naturally fair, so even the slightest mark is very noticeable; it's obvious she hasn't had enough rest and is quite tired.

Thinking of this, Qin Yunzhou couldn't help but feel a little apologetic.

"You can go back to sleep at night from now on. I can manage on my own now, and it's not comfortable for you to always sleep in that little bed."

He was staying in a single room. To make it easier to take care of him, Xu Sui had been sleeping on a small bed in the corner for the past few days. Although it wasn't cold in the summer, the bed wasn't very big.

Xu Sui likes to toss and turn in her sleep at night. Several times he noticed the movement and saw the woman almost rolling off the small bed. Every time he saw her, it was very dangerous.

He originally didn't want Xu Sui to take care of him.

First, taking care of patients is hard work.

Secondly, he is a man, and he feels somewhat uncomfortable asking Xu Sui for help with private matters such as going to the toilet, changing clothes, or wiping his body.

Therefore, he would always subconsciously restrain himself in front of her, trying his best to avoid embarrassment.

Fortunately, I've been lying in the hospital bed for so many days.

He was finally able to get down on his feet with the help of crutches and do some basic things, so she didn't have to work so hard anymore.

Xu Sui thought for a moment, then looked directly into the man's beautiful eyes.

"Can you manage on your own? If not, I'll stay and take care of you. I don't have much to do right now anyway."

Taking care of Qin Yunzhou wasn't actually too difficult.

Now that he's awake, she doesn't need to wipe his body; she just needs to hand him a damp towel. He can handle everything else on his own.

The only difficult part was helping him to the toilet.

This is rather awkward.

The main problem was that Qin Yunzhou was embarrassed.

Every time he said he needed to go to the toilet, he would stammer for a long time, his face turning red and his ears burning, too embarrassed to look at her.

Especially in the first few days.

She personally helped him take off his pants, and in that process, it was inevitable that some things that shouldn't be touched would come into contact with him.

What I couldn't see clearly that night, I've seen clearly almost everything these past few days.

Xu Sui was actually a little embarrassed, but there was someone who blushed even more easily than her.

Over time, she actually quite enjoyed seeing Qin Yunzhou, who was usually aloof and refined, blush; it always gave her a strange sense of contrast.

"...I can do it." Upon hearing this, and thinking about the inevitable contact between the two, Qin Yunzhou felt that Xu Sui's gaze on him was somewhat burning, and he coughed lightly twice, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"You've just left the performing arts troupe, so you probably need to move out of the dormitory."

"You can go now. I can manage on my own. There are doctors and nurses at the hospital, nothing will happen."

Xu Sui thought about it and realized that staying in the hospital and sleeping on that small bed all the time was indeed not very comfortable.

"Okay, I'll go back to rest at night and come see you during the day from now on."

The family compound is not far from the military hospital.

It won't take long to go back and forth, so consider it a good workout.

"Here's some more, take it all home and eat it." Qin Yunzhou picked up the roasted chestnuts, boiled eggs, peach shortbread, and a few fruits from the table next to the hospital bed and handed them to Xu Sui.

These things were all sent to him by his military leaders, comrades-in-arms, and people from his hometown who had come to visit him recently. They were all food, and none of them were cheap.

Xu Sui hesitated for a moment, her stomach almost growling.

But she resisted the urge to reach out and take it, even though she was really craving it, and there was nothing to eat in this day and age.

During her time in the hospital, she mostly ate food provided by Qin Yunzhou, but it wasn't appropriate for her to take all of it, especially since it was all brought by others.

"You don't like to eat any of these?"

"Hmm, if you don't like it, you can have it all." Qin Yunzhou noticed her little movements, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he handed the items to her again.
