Xuan Chu giggled inwardly. No wonder with a computer, it seemed to have been planned.
However, for work, Xuan Chu had always been taken it seriously. Therefore, he had no choice but to give up taking shots at Kerry Ye.
It’s still early, so both of them turned on the computer, with one sitting on the bed, one sitting on the sofa. The hospital room had turned into an office.
Venus Mu thought this was good.
She was really worried that the two would bump into each other and have a fight, but she didn’t expect them to be so harmonious. Since there was nothing more for her to do, Venus lay on the bed next to Xuan Chu, making sure that Kerry couldn’t see her phone screen, and then began to browse her phone.
She was supposed to go through some gossip news, but she subconsciously opened her child’s pictures and then gazed at them.
Kerry and Xuan Chu were both workaholics, keeping discussing about the paper and exchanging their opinions. It was quite harmonious.
“Yan, could you please help me a glass of water?” Xuan Chu was a little thirsty, with his eyes fixed on the screen and said casually.
But Venus’s mind was all on the photos, and she didn’t hear what he said at all.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Venus was still sitting there, he said again, “Yan, please give me a glass of water.”
This time, even Kerry looked up, but Venus still didn’t hear it at all. Kerry was a little curious, what was she looking at?
“Yan,” Xuan Chu tilted his head to look at her, with his voice a little louder, “Yan.”
Venus suddenly came back to senses. Seeing both of them staring at her, she asked with a dazed face, “What?”
“What are you looking at? Can I have a look at it?” Xuan Chu smiled and reached out for her phone.
Venus hurriedly put it back to her pocket and made up something nonsense, “A legendary story of a master fashion designer. You won’t be interested. Why are you calling me?”
“Give me a glass of water. Thanks.”
Venus got up and went to do that, and she also gave one to Kerry.
“Thank you.” Kerry said softly to her with his eyes up as she placed the water in front of him.
In this moment, Venus recalled the face in the photo, which really looked too much like him. When he grew up, it was roughly the same outline as Kerry. Maybe even more handsome than him.
Kerry looked straight at her, keenly aware that she seemed to be looking at another person through him, as she hid a hint of joy and pride in her eyes.
Kerry trembled. He had never seen Yan Chu in this way, and who was she missing? The one she looked at on her phone?
“Ahem!” Xuan Chu’s well-timed cough interrupted someone’s musings, and Venus found herself in a wrong state, so she smiled awkwardly at Kerry, and then hurried back to where she was just now. She then chose a story to read, in case Xuan Chu might ask again.
At ten o’clock, the doctor’ s last round.
Once the doctor came into the room, he was shocked. He didn’t know Xuan Chu, but he knew Kerry. He was surprised to see him here, so Yan Chu was definitely not an ordinary person.
Tomorrow he couldn’t allow those nurses to behave so casually, which was the doctor’s first thought, and then his attitude was more respectful.
After two days of treatment, Xuan Chu’s rash disappeared and the fever went down, but he couldn’t feel any strength in his body.
After working for two or three hours, Xuan Chu felt backache and cervical pain. When he was sitting on the bed to move his muscles, he looked at Kerry, who was also a little tired and an idea came to his mind.
“Yan, squeeze my shoulders. My shoulders are sore after working for so long.” Xuan Chu said plainly, but Venus was a little annoyed, “Brother, why treat me as a maid? I don’t know how to do it. I’m sorry.” Venus directly refused.
Xuan Chu saw Kerry’ s hand that was rubbing his eyebrow stop from his corner of his eyes, continuing, “Just do it. I don’t have strength in my hands.”
Venus stared at him. What did he want?
He also tilted his head and smiled at her, “Hurry up.”
“Why are you so stupid?” Xuan Chu teased her, then said, “He’ s obviously jealous, can’t you see it?”
Venus was stunned for a few seconds. Looking at the door and then at Xuan Chu. Oh, so men could be jealous too?
“But…now that you’re my brother, how can he…?” Venus was still not satisfied with his explanation.
Xuan Chu sighed, then he got out of bed and prepared to go to the toilet. “Come, put the shoes on me and I’ll tell you.”
Probably because she helped him yesterday, Venus actually didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. She quickly bent down to help him while Xuan Chu sighed inwardly, “This silly girl, when will she get that treasure map?”
If he wanted to get back to Hong Kong as soon as possible, he should help her.
Putting on his shoes, Xuan Chu continued what he had just said, “It’s because he now thinks you and I are brother and sister, he has no excuse to stop it and he can only smoke outside. If you and I weren’t brother and sister, I guess he would come up to beat me.” Xuan Chu leaned over and whispered, “That shows that he values you.”
The hot breath frightened Venus, so she subconsciously dodged to the side.
Xuan Chu laughed. He didn’t want to do anything to his sister’s face.
Seeing he was heading towards the toilet, Venus didn’t want to keep staying in the room, so she went out for Kerry. At the end of the hall, with the dim light, a man was smoking and the smoke completely surrounded him, making him look lonely.
It’s already after ten o’clock and there were few people, plus this was a senior ward, fewer patients, so it’s even quieter.
Kerry found that she was coming to him, so he tossed the cigarette in the ashtray and opened the window for air. When she approached, the smoke had almost dissipated.
“I guess you’ll have to sleep on the couch tonight. I’m sorry.” Venus didn’t ask him why he was angry. If she asked, both of them would be embarrassed.
