Chapter 13
The next day, Shen Chun woke up in the hospital bed. Fu Shi, who didn’t realize that she had opened her eyes, was still talking to the doctor beside her.
“Doctor, how’s her health? Is she any different from ordinary people?”
The doctor found Fu Shi’s question strange, but he still answered, “We’ve already examined her. There’s nothing wrong with the patient’s body, but she’s a little weak. We’ve already injected some nutritional fluid for her. When you guys get home, you have to help her recuperate.”
Fu Shi asked, “When will she wake up?”
“It should be soon.” As soon as the doctor finished speaking, he saw that Shen Chun had opened her eyes.
After Shen Chun slept the entire night, she felt much better, but her limbs were still weak.
This body was too weak. It became like this after using only a little bit of spiritual power.
“What a coincidence.” The doctor flipped open the medical record book. “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Shen Chun shook her head and replied, “I’m fine.”
The doctor was tactful. After making a simple record, he left so Fu Shi and Shen Chun could have some time alone.
Shen Chun propped herself up on her arm. The last thing she remembered last night before she fainted was the smell of Fu Shi’s perfume.
“Thank you for taking me to the hospital.”
“It’s a small matter.” Fu Shi pulled a chair over and sat down opposite Shen Chun. He had too many questions, but he didn’t know what to say for a moment.
“Don’t worry, about last night, I…”
“Where’s my brother?” Shen Chun asked at the same time.
The two of them were stunned. Fu Shi answered, “Your brother was frightened and started having a fever last night. He’s in the ward next to yours now. I hired a nurse to take care of him. His condition is much better now.”
After a pause, he told Shen Chun the rest. “After you fainted, the masters of Changqing Temple came over and saved the other children from the basement. They were all boys who had gone missing some time ago.”
“It’s good that you found them.” Shen Chun recalled Lan Shan’s brutal behavior last night and couldn’t help but pinch her temples in exasperation. “Pretend you don’t know anything about what happened last night. I owe you guys a favor.”
“I won’t tell anyone about what happened last night. I’ve also told the masters from Changqing Temple to keep it a secret. You can rest assured about this.”
Shen Chun heaved a sigh of relief. “Lan Shan must have frightened you guys last night. I’ll definitely teach him a lesson when we get back.”
She took out three beads and placed them in Fu Shi’s hand. “This is compensation. Put these beads at the head of your bed. I guarantee that you won’t have nightmares again.”
Fu Shi didn’t refuse. After he reached out to take the bead, he heard Shen Chun’s stomach growl.
The empty ward was extremely quiet, so the sound was very obvious.
Shen Chun smiled sheepishly. “I might have gone too long without eating.”
Fu Shi’s gaze swept across Shen Chun. She had a slender waist and weighed very little when he hugged her last night.
“The doctor said that you’re malnourished, so you can’t skip meals in the future.” With that, he asked the nurse to bring Shen Chun breakfast.
Because Shen Chun only lacked nutrition, there was nothing she couldn’t eat. The nurse brought over a bowl of egg porridge and a few breadsticks.
The nurse was young. When she saw that there were only the two of them in the room, she thought that they were boyfriend and girlfriend.
She looked at Shen Chun’s right hand, which was still receiving the IV, and handed the porridge to Fu Shi. “Sir, it might not be convenient for your girlfriend to drink porridge, so I can only trouble you.”
Fu Shi was stunned and felt that the bowl of porridge in his hand was like a hot potato. “We aren’t…”
The nurse immediately made a shushing gesture. “Don’t worry, I understand. I’ll go out now. Don’t be shy.”
She winked at Shen Chun and said, “You can call me if you have any instructions. I won’t disturb you guys anymore.”
The nurse immediately turned around and left, leaving Fu Shi behind.
“She might have misunderstood.”
Fu Shi explained awkwardly, but Shen Chun smiled.
“President Fu.” She smiled innocently as she said, “I really can’t eat porridge myself now, so I can only trouble you. But if you’re unwilling to, you can call that nurse in again.”
“No.”
Fu Shi pursed his lips and took a spoon nervously. Then, he scooped up some porridge and brought it to Shen Chun’s mouth.
His face was expressionless, and his movements were very stiff, making him look a little clumsy yet innocent.
Shen Chun suddenly felt playful. She approached Fu Shi and said softly, “President Fu, aren’t you going to blow it for me?”
