My Wife is My Life!
chapter-299

The doctor arrived after he drank a glass of water to check up on him. He checked his physical condition and concluded that his fever had subsided and there were no serious complications.

She sighed with relief.

“What time is it? How long have I been sleeping?”

“Seven o’clock, ten hours of sleep.”

“You didn’t tell Grandpa about me, did you?”

“No,” Ji Qingqing whispered, “Grandpa called and asked if we were going home tonight, but I told him we liked it at the hotel and planned to stay for two more days. He agreed.”

Lu Lixing nodded. “That’s good.”

Ji Qingqing knew that Lu Lixing didn’t want to worry his grandpa and it wasn’t a serious illness to start with. They could keep it a secret in the meantime.

“The company matters…”

“You’re still talking about the company?” Ji Qingqing frowned, her face a picture of worry and displeasure. “The doctor mentioned that if you were admitted a bit later, you would have burned into a fool! If you work so hard every day, you won’t even know how you died. Don’t you want your life anymore?”

She continued solemnly, “I don’t care about the company’s affairs. You’re not allowed to touch your computer or cell phone during your hospitalization. You leave those messy things to others.”

Facing Ji Qingqing’s “nagging” behavior, Lu Lixing smiled. “You talk like Grandpa right now. I agree, but you must at least let me explain to the company.”

Ji Qingqing handed him the phone, letting him talk but also told him not to exceed ten minutes.

Lu Lixing briefly talked about the company’s affairs. Then, he handed the phone to Ji Qingqing before she reminded him that his ten minutes were over.

That was more like it.

She nodded in satisfaction.

“Get me another glass of water.”

Ji Qingqng got up and got him more water, then she served it to him.

Lu Lixing was usually very self-disciplined and independent but when he was hospitalized, he was a bit troublesome.

But for Lu Lixing’s sake and the fact that he almost burned to become a fool, she endured it.

The other hand was injured and the other was receiving the infusion. It was very inconvenient to do anything and it was even more inconvenient to go anywhere. Taking meals and drinking tea or water were trivial matters. His head ached and he had a fever. His body felt sore, too. Every time he got sick, there was no comfortable place on his body.

Ji Qingqing rolled up his sleeves and hammered him left and right. When the medicine in the bottle was finished, she let go of him. He was free and wanted to get out of bed.

“I slept for ten hours. I want to stretch my legs for a bit.”

Ji Qingqing was helpless, so she let him get down.

But as soon as this ancestor stood up, he said he was dizzy. He couldn’t stand on his own, his legs weak. Ji Qingqing hurriedly assisted him.

Lu Lixing was a head taller than her. One hand was wrapped around his waist and her other hand supported his hand. She thought she was supporting an almost half-paralyzed person that needed rehabilitation.

They were on the VIP floor, so there were less people moving around and it was tranquil. They wandered around the corridor. Ji Qingqing helped Lu Lixing move around. There was a huge terrace at the end of the corridor.

Lu Lixing leaned most of his body toward Ji Qingqing. He tilted his head toward her head and smelled something sweet and fresh.

Even though he wasn’t exerting much strength, Lu Lixing frowned and said that his back hurt.

Ji Qingqing kneaded his waist softly with the hand that was holding onto his waist. “Does it feel better now?”

Her hand was soft and the massaging force was perfect. It was very comfortable.

“Better.”

Ji Qingqing continued to rub his waist.

There was a bit of movement from the other end of the corridor and after a while, two sets of footsteps followed. They checked it out and saw that Chen Shuyi and Lin Zhen had arrived.

Ji Qingqing and Lu Lixing came to the hospital earlier. After his condition became stable, they went back to the hotel, and now, they were back here in the hospital again.

Ji Qingqing was embarrassed because going back and forth was rather troublesome.

“This is…” Lin Zhen and Chen Shuyi looked at each other, full of doubts. “The wound caused an infection, then it led to fever, resulting in paralysis of the lower half of the body?”

They said in unison, “It’s quite serious.”

“…” Ji Qinqing explained, “The doctor said that his fever went down, so it’s not a big deal. He also said that if his fever disappears, we can go home.”

“Then you are… it’s so cold at night. Why are you strolling around here? You should get some rest.”

“He slept for more than ten hours. I’m helping him walk around to get some exercise.”

“Do you need help? I’ll do it.” Chen Shuyi volunteered to take over Lu Lixing, pushing Ji Qingqing to the side.

Chen Shuyi was also a man, so he rudely reached out to Lu Lixing’s hand. He “supported” Lu Lixing in a manly manner.

“Be careful, he hasn’t recovered yet. Don’t touch his hand,” Ji Qingqinq nagged, worrying so much that Chen Shuyi would take Lu Lixing’s situation lightly. Chen Shuyi’s other hand moved around Lu Lixing’s back, placing it on his right waist.

Ji Qingqing instructed, “His waist hurts, please massage it a bit.”

Chen Shuyi gazed at Lu Lixing with indescribable eyes. He squeezed his waist. “Is this enough strength?”

The two were very close.

Lu Lixing looked at him blankly. “Yes.”

Lin Zhen smiled and told Ji Qingqing, “Qingqing, you’ve been taking care of Lu Lixing for a while now. Why don’t you go to your room and rest? I want to talk to you about something, too.”

“Okay.”

The two went back to the room, smiling.

The moment the ward door closed, the half-paralyzed patient recovered in an instant. Coldly, he pushed Chen Shuyi who helped him recover with obvious displeasure written all over his face: Don’t touch this Laozi.
