70 Extra Update (Thanks to Brother Orange Big Melon for the divine certification!) (1 / 2)
That night, the hospital was silent, save for the few patients who couldn’t sleep due to their pain. Almost everyone else had already drifted into dreamland.
Fang Zhou, having slept a lot in the afternoon, woke up after only four or five hours of sleep at night.
He opened his eyes, feeling a bit of pain in both hands—one was scratched, and the other seemed numb as if something fluffy was pressing on it.
Fang Zhou tried to lift his right hand, but there seemed to be something fuzzy weighing it down.
By the moonlight shining through the window, he saw what was pressing on his hand.
A head, which by its shape, seemed to be Chu Xinran’s.
Fang Zhou found it strange; hadn’t she gone back with Han Xi in the afternoon?
At that time, Chu Xinran was feeding him, while Han Xi was peeling fruit on the side. Fang Zhou didn’t dare delay, eating as quickly as possible.
Even to keep Han Xi from frowning, he ate the apple she had peeled.
Fang Zhou felt like a master of balance, not spilling a single drop of water.
Perhaps because his injuries looked so severe, they didn’t stay long, leaving around six in the evening.
But now, Chu Xinran was here again, dozing off while watching over him.
Fang Zhou’s heart felt a mix of emotions.
When they broke up, he was so decisive with Chu Xinran, even saying such harsh words. Yet, she didn’t hold it against him; instead, she did something foolish for him.
Now, injured, she was silently watching over him, careful not to disturb his sleep.
From the villa to the hospital was about a kilometer. She, a girl, had walked the night road alone, who knows how scared she was.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhou’s gaze softened a bit.
This silly girl, always so endearing.
He carefully moved his right hand, trying to pull it out from under Chu Xinran’s head, but also afraid to wake her, he could only do it little by little.
His right hand was numb, probably from poor circulation. If he didn’t free it soon, the doctors and nurses might think he was battling illness in the morning.
Finally freeing his hand, Fang Zhou let out a sigh of relief. He lifted the blanket and went to the bathroom.
It was a bit dark, but no matter, the moonlight outside illuminated the room enough to see clearly.
After relieving his bladder, Fang Zhou shook his hand to get the blood flowing again and opened the door to step outside.
Just two steps out, someone bumped into his arms, a sweet orange-like fragrance hitting his nose, captivating his soul.
“You scared me to death; I thought you were kidnapped by some villain.”
The girl’s petulant tone revealed her worry and dependence.
Fang Zhou looked down to find Chu Xinran staring up at him with big, innocent, and pure eyes.
“Xinran, why are you awake?”
He had been so careful, yet he still woke her up.
“Sorry, I shouldn’t have disturbed your sleep.”
“I’m a light sleeper; the slightest noise wakes me up.”
Chu Xinran curved her lips into a sweet smile, as sticky and sweet as honey.
“Why did you come here? Did you come by yourself after 10 PM?”
Fang Zhou was more concerned about this. He had gone to bed at 10 PM, and there should have been people around on the island. Any later, and it might have been more dangerous.
“Yeah, I couldn’t sleep, so I came over.”
Feeling Fang Zhou’s concern, Chu Xinran explained further.
“It’s okay, there were lights all the way, and surveillance cameras too. See, I’m perfectly fine!”
Hearing this, Fang Zhou grew even more frightened. Nowadays, there were too many cases where surveillance was destroyed, and nothing could be found out about the crime.
He furrowed his brows, trying to remove Chu Xinran’s hand, and said sternly, “Don’t do such foolish things again; it’s too dangerous.”
Chu Xinran saw his stern face, looking like he was about to get angry, and obediently nodded in agreement.
“Okay, I won’t do it again, I’m sorry.”
Even though she had done nothing wrong, she still apologized, her voice soft and slightly hoarse from just waking up.
Fang Zhou’s heart softened instantly, and he could no longer utter any harsh words.
At this hour, it wasn’t possible to ask her to go back, he just wanted to tell her to avoid going out in the middle of the night in the future.
“Let’s forget it this time, but try not to go out at night in the future, no matter where you are.”
Fang Zhou couldn’t bear to say more, so he let her loosen her grip.
After all, the two were ex-lovers; it wasn’t right to continue hugging and holding each other.
“Alright, let go of me. Go sleep on the bed, and I’ll wake you up before the nurse comes for her rounds.”
Nurses usually come around six to draw blood and take blood pressure, and then it’s time for breakfast at seven.
By the time the nurse arrives, it should be almost dawn. In the summer, the day breaks early, and many people go out to sea. By then, it would be safe for Chu Xinran to return to the villa.
From noble mtl dot come
“No, I’ll sleep on the bed, but what about you?”
Her hands clung tightly around Fang Zhou’s waist, her whole body nestled in his arms, like a child afraid of having her toy snatched away.
A trace of possessiveness flickered in Chu Xinran’s eyes.
Fangzhou, the patient himself, insisted on giving up his bed for her. How could such a tender person not stir hearts?
Such a gentle Fangzhou, he could only belong to me.
With his uninjured hand, Fangzhou pushed at Chu Xinran, but failed.
He pointed to the sofa and said, “I’ve slept enough, just sitting there to rest with my eyes closed will do.”
Chu Xinran glanced at the sofa, then shook her head vigorously.
“No way, you’re the patient, you need to sleep on the bed.”
“How about this, you sleep with me!”
Chu Xinran’s eyes lit up instantly, the drowsy haze vanished, as if she had discovered a new continent, staring straight at Fangzhou.
Fangzhou felt a tingle on his scalp from her gaze, waving his hands in refusal.
“No, no, no, you sleep, I really have had enough sleep, I’m just bored now.”
The girl pouted her red lips, suddenly a bit displeased.
“What, are you afraid I’ll eat you up?”
Fangzhou, his secret guessed, flustered and tried to cover it up.
“Ah, no, no, it’s just that I’ve been lying down for too long, I want to stand up and stretch.”
A man and a woman lying on a bed together, just chatting under the covers?
Fangzhou himself might agree, but his body wouldn’t, he didn’t want to suffer all night.
“If you’re not sleeping, then I won’t sleep either, hmph.”
Chu Xinran turned her head and hummed softly, with a hint of coquetry.
His mind raced, thinking of a solution.
“How about this, let’s go watch the sunrise?”
Judging by the moon’s position, it should be almost dawn, just a little longer and they could wait for the sunrise.
Chu Xinran had never watched the seaside sunrise with Fangzhou before, her eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Great, let’s go now!”
Fangzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: he had finally appeased this little ancestor.
