The rich and powerful: The story of the counterattack of the house girl

Chapter 21 Hospital Warmth

Lai Xiaocai nodded silently, glanced sideways at the wall clock in the ward, and found that it was twelve o'clock at noon, she was surprised and wanted to ask, "Today...is the week..."

"Today is already Monday, do you know that it took only one night for your operation?" He still said angrily.

star. .Monday?Isn't that already a working day?
"The doctor said you will have to stay in the hospital for at least a week." Ling Xi replied for her.

What?One week? !Lai Xiaocai panicked again for a while, thinking that she would not dare to take sick leave on weekdays, because if she took too much sick leave, her salary would be deducted.

"Is your mind filled with mud?" Seeing Lai Xiaocai's appearance, he explained impatiently: "You are working for me this month, and you can rest as long as I let you! There is no need to ask for leave."

Lai Xiaocai's heartstrings suddenly relaxed. By the way, she almost forgot that she was stationed on a business trip this month. .

Thinking of this, Lai Xiaocai bowed her head again and became silent again, but her eyes suddenly felt hot and her throat felt a little dry. Lai Xiaocai hurriedly turned her gaze out of the window, biting her lower lip and daring not to speak any more.

I really walked through the gate of hell. If Ling Xi hadn't rescued me in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Thinking about it, she felt scared for a while. Ling Xi must be angry with herself at this moment. Seeing that this idiot of himself actually tossed himself into such a mess.

"You and I are here to take good care of your wounds, and you don't have to worry about anything else." His eyes were still full of anger, but when he saw the haggard look of old Xiaocai, he couldn't bear to speak harshly, so he softened his voice slightly: "You What do you want to eat? I’ll ask someone to buy it for you.”

Lai Xiaocai shook her head, not daring to look at him guiltily.

Before she could answer, Ling Xi hurriedly said: "Then I'll just order it casually." Then he took out his mobile phone and told his assistant to order some takeaway from a nearby hotel: "Remember, avoid greasy and spicy things, by the way Get some soup, now."

To be honest, Lai Xiaocai is not used to it, and his head is still a little dazed, as if he is dreaming, listening to his voice on the phone is like listening to the plot of a TV series.Later, the doctor came in for a follow-up examination, and Ling Xi took him out to talk for a while. Then, as if he had to take care of a lot of things, he kept calling one after another. He was busy in and out all afternoon, until the nurse came to change her. Even after dripping, I still didn't see his shadow again.

"Your boyfriend is so handsome." The nurse said to Lai Xiaocai with a smile. I was slightly taken aback, and just about to explain, but the nurse said again: "It's just a little grumpy, and it made noise in our hospital last night. You grew up there, but fortunately you are fine, otherwise our dean will be in trouble."

Lai Xiaocai went silent for a moment, feeling a shock in her heart, and then, as if thinking of something, she asked, "He... last night... has been guarding me?"

The nurse nodded: "Yes, he is really considerate to you. He stayed outside the operating room all night yesterday. You two have a good relationship, right?"

Lai Xiaocai lowered her head and didn't speak, but a warm feeling flashed in her heart, which moved her irresistibly. Perhaps for the rest of her life after the catastrophe, the feelings brewing in her heart gradually became a little complicated and unspeakable.

Not long after, Ling Xi walked into the ward carrying a bunch of fruits, her expression still a little sullen, she just picked out the biggest pear in the basket with a straight face, and then began to peel it with a fruit knife. However, due to his lack of technique, he didn't cut it very well, which made him anxiously throw the knife on the plate. He simply called the assistant and asked his assistant to buy a juicer, and then he started to give me the menu given by the manual. Prepare the juice (but even if you squeeze the juice, you still have to peel it, and the assistant does it for you in the end).

Unknowingly, in the evening, Lai Xiaocai watched the sunset outside the window, and the visiting relatives downstairs started to leave the hospital one after another. She suddenly felt a little flustered, so when Ling Xi came back from outside again, she Without even thinking about it, he suddenly grabbed his hand: "Don't go..."

"What's wrong?" Ling Xi looked at her in a little astonishment.

Lai Xiaocai's throat was so dry that it hurt a little, and she could only squeeze out a few words: "I'm...afraid of the dark..."

In fact, she knows that this request is a bit too much. He must have been guarding her all night last night and he must not have slept much, and he has been busy all day helping with his hospitalization. She should let him go back to rest if it is reasonable. , but she was really a little scared, afraid that she would stay alone in this dark hospital, and she would not be able to help but think wildly during the long night.

He also seemed to be slightly stunned, and after thinking for a long time, his brows relaxed slightly: "I didn't say I was leaving, I will call my assistant to come to the room and build another bed later."

Lai Xiaocai breathed a sigh of relief immediately, as if she had taken a reassurance, she actually wiped away all the uneasiness in her heart.

Fortunately, the single room he reserved was spacious enough. Not only was there a small dining table next to the bed, there was also a small balcony outside, and there was also a separate clean bathroom inside, so Lai Xiaocai didn't feel any inconvenience, but he did. If you want to complain that the conditions in the ward here are too bad, and that the good rooms are all picked up, you can only choose this one to make a living, and let her bear it for a while.

Just like that, Lai Xiaocai was once again in the same room with this man who had only known him for less than ten days. For some reason, she was obviously a stranger, but it gave her an inexplicable sense of intimacy like a relative, making people unconsciously want to To get close, to rely on.

I remember that the only time I was hospitalized when I was a child was when my mother spent the night with her, because she was so afraid of this dark hospital, and always felt that all kinds of scary things would come out at night, and she couldn't help feeling sorry for the people who were far away in her hometown. My parents missed me very much, but at this time Lai Xiaocai didn't dare to call my mother, because I was afraid that my parents would hear my strange emotions, and then ask what happened, and I was afraid that I could not help but speak out in front of them. cry.

At this moment, I realized that there are so many scary things in the life after leaving the campus. When I was in the school, there were teachers and classmates to take care of me, but now she is alone in this huge city. .

Suddenly, Lai Xiaocai remembered someone again. .The one she likes the most. .When she was a student, she would text him every night when she couldn't sleep, or call him secretly under the quilt. As long as she heard his gentle voice, she would feel at ease. .

It's a pity that I can no longer call him now. .
