After Shen Keqin explained everything to Ye Jingqiu, she felt a sense of relief as if a major burden had been lifted.
As she walked to the 32nd floor with the lunchbox, her steps gradually slowed.
How should she speak to Jian Mubai after seeing him?
Lin Zhuyin should still be here, right?
Hmph, it didn't matter. She was only here to deliver food.
The door was closed tightly. She took a deep breath and knocked.
After a long while, Jian Mubai's cold voice came from within, "Come in."
When she pushed the door open and walked in, she found that Jian Mubai was alone in the ward. Lin Zhuyin was not there, which made her slightly relieved.
Immediately, she met Jian Mubai's gloomy and not-so-handsome face. His dark eyes stared at her intently. When he saw the white gauze on her neck, his gaze softened.
Finally, his eyes fell on the lunchbox in her hand.
Seeing him staring at the lunchbox, Shen Keqin coughed lightly. "You saved me. Aunt Liu prepared some nutritious meals for you. Thank you."
Jian Mubai looked at Shen Keqin in disbelief and uttered three words dazedly, "For me?"
Shen Keqin, not noticing Jian Mubai's abnormality, walked in and said coldly, "Not for you, then who else? A pig?"
Just as she was about to place the lunchbox on the table, she suddenly noticed a lunchbox on the table. It contained shredded chicken porridge and a few small dishes, but clearly, he hadn't touched a bite.
"Oh, it seems someone has already brought you food. Could it be that nurse Xie?"
Without giving Jian Mubai a chance to speak, she said coldly, "Then you probably don't need Aunt Liu's nutritious meal. I'll take it back to her."
As Shen Keqin moved to leave, Jian Mubai, in a moment of urgency, grabbed her arm.
"Hiss..."
He hadn't expected to pull on his wound, and the pain made him frown deeply, letting out a groan of agony.
Just hearing that sound, Shen Keqin's heart clenched with anger. She scolded him angrily, "Don't you know you're injured? Why are you moving around instead of sitting still?"
"Don't... don't go..."
Despite the pain, Jian Mubai didn't let go of Shen Keqin.
Seeing Jian Mubai's face as pale as paper and cold sweat beading on his forehead, Shen Keqin immediately surrendered. "Alright, alright, I won't go. You sit still."
Jian Mubai was indeed obedient.
With a depressed mood, Shen Keqin set aside the shredded chicken porridge and took out the nutritious meal prepared by Aunt Liu from the lunchbox she brought.
There was easily digestible bird's nest porridge, pork rib soup, and Jian Mubai's favorite cookies.
Compared to the shredded chicken porridge, the shredded chicken porridge instantly lost its appeal.
"Here, eat it yourself!"
Shen Keqin handed the spoon to Jian Mubai, who used his unbandaged hand to scoop the porridge.
His arm, though not broken, was severely injured, making it difficult to lift, let alone feed himself.
The porridge he had just scooped hadn't reached his mouth before his hand softened, and the porridge spilled onto the floor.
Jian Mubai stared blankly at the porridge on the floor, then looked up at Shen Keqin pitifully. "I'm sorry..."
As soon as he said "I'm sorry," Shen Keqin's heart, no matter how hard, softened.
Except when he was injured, when had she ever seen this man look so vulnerable and pathetic?
She didn't speak. She took the spoon from Jian Mubai's hand with one hand and lifted the bowl with the other.
She scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew on it by her mouth, and then brought it to Jian Mubai's lips.
Seeing Jian Mubai staring at her, the little princess's cheeks flushed. She deliberately spoke fiercely, "Open your mouth! Eat!"
Jian Mubai curved his lips and opened his mouth.
Shen Keqin fed the porridge into Jian Mubai's mouth. Seeing him wince in pain, she immediately became anxious. "What's wrong?"
Jian Mubai shook his head, his lips tightly closed, not speaking!
"Speak!"
"It's hot..."
"Hot?"
Shen Keqin seemed confused. She scooped another spoonful and blew on it for a long time. Fearing it was still too hot, she even touched the porridge with her lips. "It's not hot anymore."
Jian Mubai's eyes fixed on Shen Keqin as he obediently drank the porridge.
Seeing Shen Keqin test the temperature of the porridge with her lips after each blow, he was in high spirits.
When had the Shen family's little princess ever taken care of someone so meticulously?
No one spoke in the room, but the atmosphere wasn't awkward at all; instead, it felt somewhat warm.
After finishing the bowl of porridge, Shen Keqin also gave Jian Mubai some pork rib soup.
Jian Mubai savored this moment. He even thought it would be wonderful if time could stop at this second.
Suddenly, Jian Mubai saw Shen Keqin's profile. A scene he had just witnessed flashed through his mind. His beautiful eyes instantly turned cold.
He reached out and gently stroked her cheek. Shen Keqin paused and looked up at him, "What are you doing!"
"There's something on your face!"
As he spoke, he wiped her face with his thumb. The force was a bit strong, as if trying to wipe something off her face.
Shen Keqin's skin was delicate and tender. Feeling the pain, she put down the bowl and wiped her face herself. "What is it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw blood seeping from Jian Mubai's waist and immediately became nervous.
"You... didn't I tell you not to move around?"
She immediately pressed the emergency call button, and soon, doctors and nurses rushed in.
After they unwrapped the bandages around Jian Mubai's waist, Shen Keqin saw his injuries.
His body was covered in bruises. The wound on his waist, which had finally scabbed over, had started bleeding again due to his recent movements.
Shen Keqin stared blankly at his body. For some reason, tears began to fall.
Seeing this, Jian Mubai quickly wiped her tears. "Don't cry, it doesn't hurt..."
Shen Keqin angrily scolded him, "I told you not to move around, not to move around! Can't you understand human language? Or do you want to stay in the hospital forever?"
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Shen Keqin's chest felt both pained and uncomfortable. "Shut up! If you don't want to cry, then talk!"
What was the point of his apologies to her? It wasn't her who was in pain.
Before the doctor left after treating the wound, he repeatedly emphasized the importance of caring for the wound and getting plenty of rest.
Shen Keqin wrote down all the precautions and threw the notebook to Jian Mubai, telling him to read it every hour.
When Lin Zhuyin arrived with lunch, she happened to see the doctor coming out of Jian Mubai's ward. Thinking something had happened to Jian Mubai, she rushed in anxiously.
"Mubai..."
Seeing Shen Keqin in Jian Mubai's ward, she was surprised at first. "Qinqin..."
Shen Keqin felt a bit awkward when she saw Lin Zhuyin. She responded with a sound and looked at the lunchbox in Lin Zhuyin's hand without speaking.
Lin Zhuyin then noticed that Shen Keqin was there to deliver food. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mubai. The shop was too busy today, and I'm late. You must be hungry."
Jian Mubai said indifferently, "I've already eaten."
"Oh, really? Did Qinqin bring it?"
As soon as Lin Zhuyin arrived, Shen Keqin no longer wanted to stay. She packed up the lunchbox and said faintly to them, "I'm leaving."
Jian Mubai really wanted Shen Keqin to stay but didn't know how to ask.
Seeing this, Lin Zhuyin followed Shen Keqin out. "Qinqin..."
