Chapter 15
Chapter 15
Chu Qianxun sent the healer away, bought a little food at the door of the hotel, and the bean dregs cooked into a yellow-brown porridge. It had a few green leaves, even if Chu Qianxun could not afford it right now.
Chu Qianxun returned to the room, helped Ye Peitian up, fed him porridge bit by bit,
This kind of porridge was tasteless and it was particularly difficult to swallow. The rough particles scraped his throat.
But Ye Peitian had no complaints. He ate and was not as awkward as before. As long as the spoon was delivered to his mouth, the light-colored thin lips would cooperate and open.
Chu Qianxun fed him the vegetable porridge. Then she took out a small paper bag from her pocket and put it on the bedside table. The paper bag had a few sugar candies.
She ate one and picked up another which she stuffed into Ye Peitians mouth.
Her fingertips touched the cold and soft lips, and when retracted, they still carried a little humidity.
Chu Qianxuns heart jumped inexplicably, and she took a peek at Ye Peitian. Fortunately, the man didnt notice it.
He was still sitting still and silent. His thin lips slightly pursed, and squeezed that sweetness in.
Chu Qianxun picked up the jar and went out to wash the dishes.
Ye Peitian was lying on the bed, looking at the mottled marks on the ceiling, and pursed his lips again and again.
It was sweet. He didnt know that there was such sweetness in the world, which made him almost panicked and overwhelmed.
The window creaked and the little boys head appeared again.
He looked around for a long time and saw a small packet of rock candy on the table.
Ah, isnt that candy? He said and tried to catch a candy with the iron clip in his hand, Hurry, give Lao Tzu.
(m. Me)
The little bedside table rocked gently, as if dragged by four feet on the ground by something. It moved on its own, where it couldnt be reached by the boy.
Oh, stingy! The boy snorted and retracted the clip in frustration, So you are a saint. No wonder someone wants you even if your hands are crippled.
Share it, I want only one! He swallowed, Lao Tzu hasnt eaten this in a few years. The last time I tried to eat such a candy, I was chased by the man on East Street across three streets.
The man lying on the bed didnt respond. His forehead was covered with his hair.
The table moved further away, indicating what he meant.
The boy was disappointed, but he still refused to leave. His eyes stuck to the unreachable pieces of candy. He stuck his tongue out and licked his lips.
This is what she left for you to eat? That woman is good to you. This thing is very expensive, and ordinary people cant afford it. She doesnt look like she is rich. I just saw her sitting outside and gnawing on some black cakes.
She bought the vegetable porridge and gave it to you, but she ate the black cake outside. Gee, you, a handsome man, are awesome.
At night, Chu Qianxun bought the vegetable porridge again. She couldnt feed half a bowl. Ye Peitian shook his head and said he wouldnt eat it.
Chu Qianxun didnt doubt anything. She helped him to lie down, and touched his hot head, Whats wrong? Is it very uncomfortable.
After a long time, she saw the pale lips move lightly, making a low voice,Thank you.
This was the first sentence she heard from Ye Peitian.
The sound was different from what she imagined. It was both low and dull, as if the words were said after repeated consideration.
Chu Qianxun was happy.
She spent so much effort and got only two words. If Gao Yan knew it, she would call her stupid, and a loser.
But when she watched Ye Peitians serious injury improve at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, she couldnt help being happy in her heart.
She told herself that she was spending money for her own happiness. She completely forgot how carefully she spent her days usually.
She happily finished the rest of the porridge, and as the sky gradually darkened, she took out the night light and turned on the switch.
