Chapter 22 - I
Xie Qi tossed and turned all night and couldn’t sleep well.
Now he felt fortunate that Qin Yizhi would have to recuperate for at least a month, and there would be no way to make advances towards him during this period.
On the way to school, Xie Qi met Fan Qingyue and Li Siwen. Their homes were close to each other, so they both came together. When they saw Xie Qi, they quickly shouted, “Xie Qi!”
Li Siwen jumped out of Fan Qingyue’s scooter and ran to Xie Qi, asking, “How was it? Did you really read it?”
When Xie Qi heard this, his eyes went numb, “I saw it.”
Li Siwen asked, “What do you think? Do you have any impressions after reading it?”
Xie Qi looked around, lowered his voice, and said, “I think this material should be listed as an extreme sports event in the Olympics. I believe it could definitely win the championship.”
Li Siwen: “Well, I think it’s okay…”
Xie Qi said: “Yes. Fortunately, it’s just too scary.”
Li Siwen: “Poor baby… Why don’t you let Fan Qingyue take over? He has a big butt.”
Fan Qingyue pushed the scooter over: “?? I can hear you! I’d like to do this for you, but I like beautiful sisters, so I can’t enjoy this blessing.”
Li Siwen: “Then what you said is useless, go away.”
Xie Qi: “…”
Li Siwen patted Xie Qi on the back and said, “The matter has come to this, there is no other way, just bear with it.”
Xie Qi said stubbornly: “…It doesn’t matter, I am young and can endure.”
Although Qin Yizhi’s affairs weighed heavily on him, his mood was somewhat stabilized. Perhaps it was because all problems could be solved.
So, he was much more focused in class than before, at least he wasn’t as worried.
But the teacher assigned a lot of homework today. If he went to the hospital and came back too late, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to finish them.
But he went anyway; he had no choice but to earn money.
.
Xie Qi did not go to Qin Yizhi’s ward first, but went to see Jiang Sining and Teacher Hou.
Teacher Hou couldn’t speak at the moment, and Jiang Sining couldn’t get out of bed. She had to change her medicine two or three times a day. The two nurses were sitting and chatting next to them. When Xie Qi arrived, they both stopped talking and said to Xie Qi, “Your dad just went to the toilet.”
Xie Qi nodded, not too worried about this. If the nurse didn’t do anything, Jiang Sining would definitely be the first to cause trouble, and he wouldn’t be unaware of what was going on.
Xie Qi asked about Jiang Sining’s wound as usual. She frowned and said, “It still hurts a lot, and it won’t be cured that easily.”
Of course, Xie Qi knew that. After thinking for a moment, he said, “When the wound heals, we still need to massage it to remove the scar. The wound must not leave any scars on your knees; otherwise, it will not look good in a skirt in the summer.”
Jiang Sining said, “How can I think of something so far away.”
Xie Qi looked at her sad face and changed the subject, “Why did your colleague come to see you again? There are so many fruits. I couldn’t even finish them; why would she bring too much? Tell her not to buy fruits anymore.”
He hadn’t even eaten a few fruits from yesterday’s fruit baskets, and now a new one arrived for no reason.
Jiang Sining said: “I can’t control people giving me fruits.” She hesitated for a moment, then said, “Actually, I don’t even know her. She said she was my colleague, chatted with me for a long time, and added me on WeChat. When she came up, she gave me a big red envelope and told me to eat some tonics to help heal my injury.”
Xie Qi: “…”
Hearing this description, he had a premonition in his heart and said, “Can you give me her WeChat account?”
Jiang Sining showed him her phone, “Here it is.”
Xie Qi took a look and saw the familiar cat avatar: Yao Wenzhu.
Xie Qi: “…”
He felt a little uncomfortable. After all, she came to Jiang Sining before Qin Yizhi woke up.
Why was she so anxious?
But Xie Qi suppressed this discomfort. He thought Yao Wenzhu was just a little too curious.
Xie Qi said slowly: “This is, as I told you, my mother-in-law.”
When Jiang Sining heard this, she was stunned and felt very uncomfortable, “What does she mean? She came to me and refused to talk about your affairs. What does she want by talking nonsense with me?”
Xie Qi didn’t know what she was thinking, so he could only say vaguely: “Maybe she wants to come to meet her in-laws.”
Jiang Sining’s chest rose and fell violently, feeling extremely uncomfortable, “Oh, it’s too much. She still has the nerve to come to see me. Isn’t this kidnapping a teenager?”
Xie Qi said: “Okay, let’s stop talking about it. It’s already settled; just accept it. Anyway, both of you are fine. I won’t be at a loss if I get involved.”
Jiang Sining said: “The big deal is that we owe her a favor, and we can pay it back. Do you have to get married? Her son is two years younger than your teacher Hou. How can she have the nerve to try to hook you up with her son? It’s so shameless.”
“…” Xie Qi covered her mouth, lowered his voice, and said, “Okay, Mom, let’s stop talking. If she hears you say such things, she will feel very uncomfortable. In fact, she is a very nice person and treats me very well.”
Jiang Sining pulled his hand away and said, “What did you mean? She was nicer to you? Why did you defend an outsider? Are you still my son?”
Xie Qi replied, “Well, that’s a fact. I just wanted to tell you the truth. It’s not bad to get married. My mother-in-law is easy to get along with.”
Jiang Sining was inexplicably irritated. “No matter how easy she is to get along with, you are still 18 years old.”
Xie Qi became a little defensive again. He suppressed his emotions and said, “Okay, calm down. This is already an established fact. Stop making trouble. I have something to do. I’ll leave first. You rest well.” With that, he walked away quickly, his steps much faster.
.
After leaving the ward, he thought to himself, what else could he do? Who told him that he was the only one who could deal with trouble now, and this result was the best. What else could he do?
“Oh, I feel so tired.”
His eyes hurt, so Xie Qi put in eye drops again before going to Qin Yizhi’s ward. By coincidence, there was no one in the ward this time.
Xie Qi guessed that he was going for rehabilitation training. He didn’t know where he went, so he sat on Qin Yizhi’s bed and waited for him.
After waiting for a while without seeing Qin Yizhi, he became a little impatient and sent a message to Yao Wenzhu, asking, “Mom, I arrived at Yizhi’s ward and didn’t see him. Do you know where he is now?”
Yao Wenzhu replied after a while, “Oh, we are on the lawn behind the hospital. You can see it from the window of Yizhi’s ward. Come here, baby.”
Xie Qi stared at the word baby sent by Yao Wenzhu, feeling that she now naturally called these things, as if it represented another kind of recognition or closeness to him.
Xie Qi put away his cell phone, stood up, opened the window, and looked down. He did see Qin Yizhi and Yao Wenzhu, but they were not the only ones down there. There was also a tall woman and a man in a suit.
Without thinking much, Xie Qi turned around and left the ward, heading straight downstairs.
