Chapter 769: Chapter 617: No Major Problem
Xia Youqing ultimately did not spend the night in the hospital.
Because Shi Wangyue resolutely refused to go home.
With Shi Wangyue not going home, she had no choice but to go home.
So, after the lunch Xiao Zeng ordered arrived at noon, and she had lunch with Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang at the hospital bed, she called her assistant and driver to take her back home.
Watching Xia Youqing wrap herself in a down jacket, don sunglasses, mask, and hat, exuding an aura of noble coolness, and follow Xiao Zeng out of the ward in her high heels.
Ning Youguang felt deeply moved and said to Shi Wangyue, "When I was young and got sick, I really wanted my mom. Hearing other kids say that their moms would coax them to eat and sleep when they were sick made me envious. I couldn’t help but wish I was sick around my mom, but strangely, whenever I was with her, I wouldn’t get sick."
Of course, these were experiences from a previous life.
Shi Wangyue didn’t know this, but it didn’t stop his heart from aching slightly.
"From today on, I’ll coax you to eat and sleep."
...
During the days after being hospitalized.
Shi Wangyue diligently fulfilled his promise, taking care of Ning Youguang so well that she felt like a child who didn’t know anything, needing to be coaxed.
Regardless of day or night.
Whenever she coughed once, Shi Wangyue would immediately get up to pat her back.
The fruits were always peeled and cut, placed within reach on the bed.
The thermos cup was always full of hot water.
Every meal was carefully prepared following the doctor’s advice.
Anything she needed, he thoughtfully took care of for her.
On the fourth day of her hospitalization, her throat hurt, and she couldn’t eat. She mentioned to Shi Wangyue, "I really want to have white peach oolong jelly—
"
Shi Wangyue said nothing, just took out his phone and ordered.
Half an hour later, he went out and returned with a bag of things.
"What did you buy?" Ning Youguang stared at the bag in his hand, thinking it must be something to eat that she had wanted.
He opened the bag, revealing five boxes of desserts: white peach oolong jelly, mixed fruit white peach oolong jelly, amber peach gum coconut milk, coconut kiwi parfait, and coconut mango taro sea moss jelly.
Every box was something Ning Youguang loved to eat.
"Why did you buy so much?" Ning Youguang was stunned.
"You like it, so I bought more for you to enjoy slowly." Shi Wangyue opened the white peach oolong jelly she had just mentioned wanting to eat, picked up a spoon, and fed her.
"But they’re all cold, how can I eat them slowly..." Ning Youguang said indistinctly as she swallowed the dessert Shi Wangyue fed her.
"That’s why you should eat them slowly."
"When did you grasp the essence of redundant literature?" Ning Youguang was shocked.
Shi Wangyue helplessly lifted the corners of his mouth, "By ’slowly,’ I mean you can eat a little of each, but not too much at once. Limit yourself to three bites per box, and wait half an hour before having more."
"...How do you expect me to eat like that?" Teacher Ning felt her intelligence falling short.
...
Before this, Ning Youguang occasionally felt fortunate that she completed her self-improvement early and didn’t have to be troubled by petty emotions.
For those who found redemption and dependence on each other, she admired them, but she wouldn’t envy them.
When analyzing her clients’ conditions, she was meticulous and thorough, understanding that they wanted a hug when tired, comfort when breaking down, care when ill, and the desire to be loved, protected, and cherished.
But she once deeply questioned herself: could she really understand this feeling?
Could she truly grasp the need to be fulfilled?
Regrettably, she couldn’t.
She clearly knew there wasn’t someone in this world who would love her like someone who truly understands loving their own life.
She also knew, despite perfecting her inner character, she still had many personality flaws and minor issues.
She always believed in doing her best, guarding her heart, staying clean and unswayed by external circumstances.
Thus, she wouldn’t be disturbed by any emotions.
With no desire comes strength.
To have expectations invites fear.
If she held no expectations from anyone, she would have no fear.
After the car accident, she realized she had taken many things for granted.
Without being well-cared-for, it’s natural not to truly understand the feeling of being wholeheartedly taken care of and loved, both physically and emotionally.
But after being well-cared-for and cherished, she discovered her previous assumptions contained significant errors; it wasn’t all trouble and indifference.
Being well cared for when sick or injured feels really nice.
So, despite being hospitalized with both injuries and illness.
Seeing Shi Wangyue nearby made her feel truly blessed.
Of course, mental feelings can’t be equated with physical feelings.
On the whole, being sick is still physically uncomfortable.
When no one visited the hospital room, the thing Ning Youguang did most every day was sleep.
Due to her concussion, she couldn’t do anything that strained her brain or eyes, so the phone and books she could have used to pass the time were physically kept away from her.
Moreover, with her tonsillitis and rhinitis in between, there wasn’t much else she could do.
Besides sleeping, during her limited waking hours, she’d lay in bed staring blankly at the blue sky outside her window.
Later, her activities included sunbathing.
Fortunately, her room was a deluxe private room at her own expense, so being confined with Shi Wangyue didn’t feel stifling.
Beijing’s sky, it seemed, treated Ning Youguang like its beloved daughter.
On the day of her accident, and the days leading up to it, it had been raining continuously.
The rain was fierce, the cold wind relentless, as if it intended to unleash all the rain stored up this winter in one go.
After Ning Youguang was hospitalized, it was practically sunny every day.
Maybe because it had been rainy before, the ensuing sunny days had sky blue so washed it seemed, it was beautiful.
The air quality was good too.
So, when Ning Youguang wasn’t sleeping, she liked lying on her hospital bed, staring at the blue sky outside in a daze.
Getting tired of watching, she would drift back to sleep.
Uncertain whether it was because of too much work before or really having hit her head too hard in the crash, Ning Youguang slept exceptionally much during her hospital stay.
To the point she could sleep eighteen hours a day.
Sometimes, Shi Wangyue would see her awake and alert one moment, but the next, as he turned away briefly, she would have already drifted into a deep sleep with her eyes closed.
This situation, to be honest, couldn’t help but cause concern.
So Shi Wangyue had the hospital’s top-tier neurology specialist come to examine Ning Youguang.
After checking her, he said, "The problem isn’t severe." 1314
