Spare Me, Cold Uncle - C56
At the provincial capital’s first hospital.
VIP ward.
“Mom …” “Mom …”
“Qingmo, you’re finally awake. Auntie is fine, the surgery was a success.” A big hand gently held her small hand, and a clear and melodious voice lingered near her ears. Shui Qingmo seemed to have had a long dream as she strenuously listened to the man’s voice, and only after a long while did she remember. “It’s Yujing?” But the man before she fell asleep was clearly Mei Mutian.
She remembered that he seemed to have come, and even brought a sufficient blood source. As a result, her mother was saved, and at that moment, she was so excited that she lost consciousness.
“It’s me, it’s me, I’m Yujing.” Xiu Yujing held Shui Qingmo’s hands tightly. Just now, when she was in a coma, she had either shouted ‘Mu Tian’ or ‘Mother’. Fortunately, the first person she opened her mouth to ask was Yujing and not Mei Mutian.
“Yes, yes.” Shui Qingmo slowly opened her eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered like the wings of a dragonfly, causing Xiu Yujing to be unable to shift her gaze away.
“Then let’s have some soup first.” Xiu Yujing finally let go of Shui Qingmo’s hand reluctantly and turned around to go grab the stew. He had been keeping it warm since the beginning and it wasn’t cold.
Shui Qingmo looked around, her gaze swept past the busy Xiu Yujing, and landed on Shui Qiugui’s body at the end of the bed. The sound of the apparatus creaked, and she had heard it before in the Intensive Care Unit of the River City Hospital, but this time’s operation was much more complicated than the time when the cyst was removed, “Yujing, why isn’t my mother in the Intensive Care Unit?”
“This ward is very close to nurse station. Furthermore, I’ve already told you that the nurses will come here every 15 minutes to check on you. So, don’t worry.”
“Oh, oh.” Shui Qingmo heaved a sigh of relief. This isolated ward was definitely much better than the intensive care unit, at least quiet and clean. With her hand on the bed, Shui Qingmo still sat up, then got off the bed and walked towards her mother’s bed.
“Qingmo, Auntie is still unconscious and won’t wake up soon. The doctor said that the operation was a success, don’t worry, eat first before you have the strength to accompany Auntie.” Xiu Yujing had no choice but to put down the thermal insulating box in his hand, and rushed forward to support Shui Qingmo, preventing her from falling.
Shui Qingmo stood quietly in front of Shui Qiugui’s sickbed. After the operation, Shui Qiugui’s face was pale white, he looked extremely weak, but her lips looked normal, “Is Sister Qiu still taking care of my mother?” She thought of the Sister Qiu who was taking care of her. It must be the Sister Qiu, since her mother looked pretty healthy right now, and it looked even better compared to the time she got the cyst.
“Mm, it’s me.” The door to the ward quietly opened as Sister Qiu walked in.
Shui Qingmo subconsciously looked behind her, but there was no one else.
The door closed and Sister Qiu walked over, “Miss Shui, why are you awake? You’ve already woken up when I was just going to nurse station. You need to rest in peace, eat something good first before you have the strength to take care of your mother. Now, just leave everything to me. Sister Qiu helped her walk towards the sickbed, and on the other side, Xiu Yujing had already set up a temporary table on the sickbed, and set up the food.
Shui Qingmo slowly ate. Only now did she realize that the sky had already darkened, and she had actually slept for the entire afternoon.
The food was all that kind of nourishing stew, with one look, one could tell that it was meant to replenish the blood, “Yujing, thank you.” Ever since she was young, she had always been anemic. After drawing blood, he became even more anemic, so after taking blood twice, he always had the symptom of being unconscious.
Xiu Yujing trembled slightly, then said in a low voice: “Qingmo, you said that you will be my follower, do you still want to be courteous to me?”
After eating a few mouthfuls, Shui Qingmo felt her entire body becoming more comfortable. As expected, being young is worth it, “I casually said something about being a follower, hehe, you really take it seriously.”
“I’m serious, Shui Qingmo. Don’t tell me you want to go back on your word, I don’t agree.” Xiu Yujing rejected her with a serious face.
“It can’t be. With such a super handsome and adorable follower, many girls are jealous of me. Hehe, no matter what I say, I won’t let you go.”
“Hur hur.” Xiu Yujing laughed, “You, are you going to shake your master’s rules?”
“Agreed.” She raised her hand in approval, looking extremely serious, causing Sister Qiu to burst out laughing, “The two of you are really compatible, the word ‘perfect’ doesn’t seem to be an exaggeration. Miss Shui, I heard Yujing say that your grades in school are really good.”
“Not bad.” Shui Qingmo knew that her mother was fine now, and everything she ate was fragrant. Furthermore, she had not eaten anything at noon, so she was really hungry for this meeting. She ate two servings of stewed vegetables, and only after eating did she suddenly remember, “Sister Qiu, did you and Yujing eat it?” When she saw that it was already past 8, she didn’t ask, but she suddenly felt that it was necessary to ask. After all, they were both doing it for her mother, but she, the patient’s family, didn’t even have her mother follow them out of the operation room. She even sent someone to take care of her.
“I will eat it, but Young Master Xiu …”
“I’ll eat too.” Xiu Yujing interrupted the Sister Qiu extremely quickly, “Qingmo, are you full yet? “If you’re not full, I’ll go and get another serving for you.”
“I’m full. If I eat anymore, I’ll become a pig.” Eating something was enough for him to regain his strength. Shui Qingmo immediately felt as if she had been revived, “I’ll accompany my mother in a while. The two of you go out and get some fresh air.
“I’ve just gone out to take a breath of fresh air. Haha, Young Master Xiu hasn’t gone out yet, and you’ve just finished dinner. Why don’t you accompany Miss Shui for a walk and digest everything.”
“Alright.”
“No.” Shui Qingmo rejected it, she only wanted to accompany her mother for a bit, she knew in advance that her mother would not be able to wake up before the surgery ended, so, she still had to return to River City tomorrow. After all, she was a senior in high school now, so she might not be able to go to school at night, but it was not like she wanted to leave her mother’s side before she went back.
“Yujing, you are so nice.” He wouldn’t let her say thank you, so he didn’t say it. He just wanted to remember some of his feelings.
It was late in the night, and Xiu Yujing, who had not slept much the previous night, had already slept for a whole day. He had to make sure that he slept soundly when he drove tomorrow, and she, who had slept for a long time, let Sister Qiu sleep as well, she went to the window alone and looked out quietly. She thought about the chaos that had occurred during the past two days, and always felt that there was something wrong with her mother’s blood source.
