Chapter 73: Getting better

Chapter Seventy Three
Zhuang Yan woke up from hunger the next day.
He rubbed his hungry belly and found that there was no one around him.
Xie Ning woke up earlier than him and came out of Zhuang Yan's arms lightly. Maybe Zhuang Yan was really tired, and he was not awakened by such big movements.
Xie Ning couldn't help but lower his head to trace Zhuang Yan's sleep.
Zhuang Yan's eyes were closed and he looked very quiet, and he was somewhat harmless without the arrogance of the past.
Xie Ning reached out and touched Zhuang Yan's face.
Zhuang Yan knew nothing, and was still asleep.
Xie Ning became bold, rubbing his fingertips across his face, rubbing his fine eyebrows, raising his nose, and staying on his lips for a while.
Zhuang Yan seemed to be aware of it in his dream and pursed his lips.
Xie Ning was taken aback and took his hand back abruptly. When Zhuang Yan was still asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I remembered the touch just now, and blushed unwillingly.
These Zhuang Yan unfortunately didn't know.
He woke up and grabbed his hair, got out of bed and went to wash in the bathroom.
The towels and toothbrushes are new. No one has used the one that belongs to him. The one that belongs to him is Xie Ning's. They are all the same style, but the color is different.
Xie Ning's is light, Zhuang Yan's is dark.
Two towels are placed side by side on the clip, and two toothbrushes are also inserted in the same cup.
Zhuang Yan looked at it for a while, and involuntarily curled up his lips.
According to his living habits, he didn't like to mix his own things with other people's, but if that person was Xie Ning, he felt that there was nothing unacceptable.
He is happy to put the two people's living utensils together, or share something.
This is a very intimate attitude, and he doesn't mind.
When he went downstairs, Xie Ning was busy in the kitchen. He was wearing a beige house coat with a bear pattern apron. He looked casual and at home.
Zhuang Yan walked over, hugged him from behind, and put his head on his shoulder.
"I'm making lunch for you." Xie Ning is used to his hands and feet from time to time, and he is not surprised like he was at first, "Don't come to me."
If he could ignore his red ear tips, perhaps this sentence would be more convincing.
Zhuang Yan laughed: "Lunch?"
"Yes." Xie Ning took the spatula and fry the vegetables again. "You don't want to check what time it is now."
Zhuang Yan glanced casually, with surprise on his face: "It's so late."
"How long have you not slept well?" The sleeves of Xie Ning's clothes were rolled up and folded a few times, revealing white wrists, and the faint tattoos on them could be seen when shaking hands.
Xie Ning used to cover his wrists tightly, but now he no longer has any worries. It seems that he has walked out of the past, and nothing is shameful.
Zhuang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Since you left, you haven't slept well."
Xie Ning: "No wonder I slept so long today, this is a one-time replacement."
Zhuang Yan lowered his head and kissed the back of his neck, then let go of Xie Ning before he became angry, and asked, "Do you need my help?"
Xie Ning thought for a while and directed Zhuang Yan to wash and cut the dishes next to him.
Zhuang Yanbian washed and chatted with him: "You don't look like you have lived here, do you have so many ingredients at home?"
Xie Ning said, "No, I went out to buy it in the morning."
Zhuang Yan paused and turned to look at him: "Why don't you order takeaway?"
Xie Ning poured the fried dishes onto the plate and said, "You can't order takeaway every day."
"Do you mean that you will stay here for a long time in the future?" Zhuang Yan put the washed vegetables in a clean basin, and he took up a clean towel and dried the water stains on his hands.
Xie Ning pursed her lips.
He seemed to be a little nervous, slowly approaching Zhuang Yan, and asked in a low voice, "Will you stay here with me?"
After a few seconds, he couldn't wait for Zhuang Yan's response.
Xie Ning lowered his head and said, "If you still prefer to live in the lakeside villa, I..."
He could not say the second half because his lips were blocked by another soft thing.
Zhuang Yan pulled him over uncontrollably and kissed him for a long time before saying in a low voice, "Sorry."
"I'm just... overwhelmed with joy."
Xie Ning raised his eyes to look at him, and was crashing into Zhuang Yan's deep eyes, where light was shining like countless little stars.
He said: "As long as I live with you, I am willing."
After eating, they went to the hospital again.
When the time came, Uncle Zhong was turning over and patting the back of Old Man Xie to prevent pressure sores from lying down for a long time due to poor blood circulation.
"You are here." Uncle Zhong asked a little happily when he saw them, "Have you had lunch?"
Xie Ning nodded and said, "I have eaten it."
Uncle Zhong asked again: "Is it delicious? Didn't you spit it out after eating?"
As a person with previous convictions, Xie Ning was a little vacant when asked by Uncle Zhong, especially in front of Zhuang Yan.
Fortunately, Zhuang Yan answered him: "It's delicious, I didn't spit it out."
He clasped Xie Ning's wrist and smiled at Uncle Zhong: "I'm watching it."
Uncle Zhong looked at him, then at Xie Ning, and smiled comfortedly in Xie Ning's red face.
In the evening, Xia Wan came again with Song Qingqing.
Seeing Zhuang Shilong, who was with Xie Ning, her expression changed a few times, but Xie Ning's attitude towards her was extremely cold recently. She opened her mouth and finally said nothing.
Her complexion was always not good, Song Qingqing helped her to sit in the lounge next to her for a while.
Xia Wan grasped Song Qingqing's hand with a trance.
There was an unconcealable sadness in her voice: "Isn't it going to be getting better? How come this is happening again."
Song Qingqing looked at her like this and suddenly didn't know how to comfort her.
She sometimes felt that Xia Wan didn't notice the scene she was doing with Xie Ning and Zhuang Yan, but she didn't ask anything, she was still immersed in the illusion.
She was as good as ever to Song Qingqing, and it was this kind of genuine affection that made Song Qingqing unable to bear to completely abandon her.
"Auntie Xia." Song Qingqing said, "If you want, you can treat me as your daughter from now on."
...
Everything seems to be going in a good direction.
A few days after Zhuang Yan returned, Father Xie woke up.
The sun was good that afternoon, Xie Ning opened the curtains of the ward to let the sun shine in.
Father Xie likes to bask in the sun very much. In his words, bathing in the sun will make people feel warm and comfortable.
Shainin closed the curtains and returned to the armchair next to the hospital bed.
This position originally belonged to Uncle Zhong, but this afternoon Uncle Zhong was rushed back by Xie Ning to rest.
Xie Ning now completely forgot his own bad habits, and because Uncle Zhong had been sleeping in the hospital for several days and had not taken a good rest, he just persuaded people to go back.
Sitting in the armchair, Xie Ning picked up the book on the bedside, opened it, and slowly read to the old man Xie.
"...My rose, an ordinary passerby thinks she is the same as you. But she alone is more important than all of you, because she is watered by me. Because she is placed in the flower cover by me Yes. Because she was protected by a screen. Because I eliminated the caterpillars on her body. Because I have listened to her complaints and self-praise, and sometimes I listened to her silence. Because..."
"...Because she is my rose."
When the hoarse and slow voice sounded, Xie Ning's hands trembled for an instant, and the book fell on his lap.
He suddenly raised his head and saw that Old Man Xie on the hospital bed opened his eyes for unknown reasons and was watching him.
Xie Ning was stunned for several seconds, then looked at Father Xie steadily, unable to speak for a long time.
"Your grandma loves to listen to me reading "The Little Prince" to her during her lifetime." Because he just woke up, Father Xie speaks a lot slower than before, with a little dryness, "Now listening to you to read it to me, it is I miss it a bit."
Xie Ning reached out and took Father Xie's hand, which was warm.
His eyes reddened inexplicably.
Father Xie said, "Why is it like crying? Are you worried that I'm going to see your grandma?"
Xie Ning responded in a low voice, then shook his head after a while: "No."
"I miss your grandma very much." Father Xie said, "I really want to see her, but I can't bear you either."
Xie Ning's eyelashes quivered slightly.
Father Xie looked at him: "My two grandsons, I haven't seen them getting married yet, so why are you willing to leave like this."
