Chapter 26 Rehabilitation Exercise

On the night of the registration anniversary, Mrs. Shen suddenly went to the couple's small villa. Shen Mingxu had been sitting in the wheelchair for too long and had just gone to bed for a while. When he heard that his mother was coming, he asked the nurse to carry him to the wheelchair. He didn't want his mother to see him lying on the bed in a sick state.

"My baby, you are here too. I have a little thing to discuss with you. It's not a big deal. Don't be nervous." Holding Yunxi's hand who went to the door to greet her, Mrs. Shen and her daughter-in-law entered the elevator together and went straight to her son's bedroom.

"Mom, you..." There must be something wrong with coming so late. Shen Mingxu pushed the wheelchair to the small hall to greet his mother. He didn't ask when the words came to his lips.

"I told your father to let you go back to the company to continue to help him. He agreed, so I came here. Xiaoxu, you should go back to work. Don't just stay at home to recuperate. It's not good for you to not contact people and do things at such a young age." The lady sat on the sofa generously and directly stated her purpose. It turned out that she came after discussing with Shen Zhongheng.

Shen Mingxu understood his mother's feelings for him. All her expectations had become very few after his health deteriorated little by little. Now, his mother only hoped that he would be safe and healthy. If he could be happy and have a certain amount of capital, that would be the best.

"Okay, Mom, I'll go back to work, but I can't walk now, and it's not convenient for me to see things." Shen Mingxu said this deliberately with a low tone of melancholy, which aroused his mother's worry.

"There are so many secretaries, assistants, and nurses. It's not like you are asked to do any difficult work. You stay at home all day, always depressed, so your health is slow to recover." In fact, what his wife said was right. Hospitalization and long-term bed rest made Shen Mingxu's body weaker and thinner, but in fact, the doctors and hospitals had done everything they could. The Shen family had the best resources, so how could they not treat Shen Mingxu? What he needed now was motivation and vitality, which was better than living alone and feeling sorry for himself.

"Let Yunxi accompany me." He couldn't leave her. When he couldn't see, the person Shen Mingxu trusted most was not even his mother. When he said this, he looked at Yunxi, fearing that she would be angry.

"Okay, it's great that my daughter-in-law is willing to go to work in the company. My baby, are you willing to work with Xiaoxu?" She turned around and took Yunxi's hand, and the mother-in-law asked her in a low voice.

"Okay." Yunxi agreed obediently without hesitation.

"Thank you for your hard work, my baby. Thank you." The lady hugged Yunxi and stroked her face, obviously very happy.

The next day, Zhou Heng came to pick up Shen Mingxu for work. In addition to helping him get his clothes, Yunxi was more busy on her own. After all, Shen Mingxu's work clothes were specially matched and arranged by someone, and she was the one who really needed to take the trouble to put on makeup, do her hair, and match her clothes.

"Wife, wife, come..." Sitting in a wheelchair, Shen Mingxu reached out and touched Yunxi's arm. He loved to hear the jingling of the bracelet.

"What's wrong? Let me see." After losing one eye, the biggest change in Shen Mingxu was that he liked to touch. He would touch things that he couldn't see clearly or he was too lazy to see. Like when he treated Yunxi, he especially liked to touch her face, nose, lips, long hair, and touch each finger. Yunxi indulged him to touch her, and she was not annoyed or refused.

When she saw him touching other things, such as glasses, mobile phones, razors, pens, and taking things out of bags, including exploring the functions on the wheelchair, she would quietly observe whether he needed help. After all, Shen Mingxu's vision now is really much worse than before.

"I'm fine now. You are so busy that you are sweating. We are not in a hurry. Any time is fine." He couldn't do anything. The nurse helped him dress and put him in the wheelchair. He could hear Yunxi walking back and forth. He knew that it took a lot of time for a girl to dress up. He couldn't help her and could only wait silently.

"Sweating... Should I take a shower before going out?" Going back to Shen's Group again, Yunxi didn't want to go too late. She felt that it was best for her to stay low-key without a position.

"Of course not. My wife also smells good when she sweats." Looking up at her stunning and smart appearance, Shen Mingxu smiled dandy, with the style of a playboy.

Yunxi stopped playing with him and pushed the wheelchair to take him out of the house. She didn't really feel relieved until the nurse carried Shen Mingxu to the car and sat him down. She had been looking forward to this day of walking into Shen's again for a long time.

Traveling in a wheelchair, Shen Mingxu had been in a wheelchair for a long time after being injured seven years ago. Before limping out of the house with a cane, he also did a long time of psychological preparation. This time with his lover by his side, he was calm. Worried about making mistakes when using the bathroom, he asked his wife to bring him an extra pair of suit pants, and finally he left the house naturally in a wheelchair.

Back at the company, Shen Mingxu asked his secretary to refuse all visits and greetings. On the first day of work, he just learned about the current progress. Contact with some people who were originally close to him, his left leg would twitch after sitting for a long time, so he hurriedly left the company after most of the day.

But just after Shen Mingxu went to work for a day, the news that the young master not only couldn't walk and had to sit in a wheelchair, but also couldn't see spread like

wildfire... With Yunxi by his side every day, although Shen Mingxu's eyesight was declining rapidly, he didn't actually read the documents and materials very often. It was basically Yunxi who read them and explained them to him. He tilted his head to look at things and had to get very close to see them clearly. He had his wife to help him with everything, and it was a habit for him to touch things with his hands when he couldn't see clearly.

From accompanying Shen Mingxu to work a few months ago to this time when he moved into Shen's company, Yunxi seemed to know nothing and didn't care about anything. In fact, she had basically mastered all the operations and sources of money of all the companies of the Shen family, big and small.

The Shen family used curatorial exhibitions, auction collections, and second-hand luxury collections to launder money, and the largest cash flow came from this. They worked hard to run a trading company, the meaning of which was to strengthen themselves, become industry leaders, find loopholes, and cover up smuggling.

So Yunxi is very busy. She has to worry about everything from Shen Mingxu, who needs someone to take care of him, to the great cause of the country and the persistence in her heart. Although she has always tried hard to eat and take some time to exercise, she still inevitably loses some weight. It is difficult for her physique to gain weight.

Every day, Yunxi helps Shen Mingxu clean his eyes and apply medicine. He takes care of everything from his hairstyle to his clothes. When he is working, he has to spend a lot of time helping him with the preliminary work. Shen Mingxu knows that his wife is very hard.

What Mrs. Shen sees is that Yunxi takes care of everything, treats her youngest son like a child, accompanies him to the bathroom, eats with him, serves dishes, and does all the work with him without being impatient. She doesn't care much about her skin and hairstyle, and doesn't care about some enjoyment and maintenance things. She only has her lover in her heart. She is a very clean and simple girl. As a mother-in-law, she also thinks that Yunxi is too hard.

"Xiaoxu, tell mom that I don't want so many clothes." Midsummer has not yet arrived, and the mother-in-law buys things as if it is free. Dozens of new and beautiful skirts are delivered to the villa. Yunxi feels that she does not need so many clothes at all, and whispers to Shen Mingxu to stop her mother-in-law.

"I will teach you. Wear each one once, and then sell it second-hand. It is not a waste, right?" This is the way the dandy deal with excess items. Yunxi was so amused when she heard Shen Mingxu say this, and there was no way to stop the mother and son.

After resuming work for a period of time, Yunxi helped Shen Mingxu invite a professional rehabilitation therapist, hoping to help him restore the function of his right leg.

"The doctor said not to let me do rehabilitation treatment. What are you asking me to exercise? I can't walk with my legs." Sitting in a wheelchair every day, except when he was held, he could feel his right foot softly touching the ground. In order to protect his left leg, the doctor did not let him do rehabilitation. Shen Mingxu gradually lost his pursuit of walking.

"I didn't force you to walk with your left leg, but your right leg should be functional again. If you don't exercise like this, your body will be damaged." Yunxi believed that Shen Mingxu could walk with crutches, but the doctor was concerned about his blindness and his left leg being too fragile. For safety reasons, the doctor also thought that the young master would not lack someone to take care of him, so he told him this. He was only 30 years old, and it was too irresponsible for his future quality of life.

"Just move around, and you will get better through exercise, okay?" She was the one who really cared about him.

With the heat of early summer, Shen Mingxu began to try rehabilitation exercises.

Every morning, an experienced nurse massaged his stiff left leg. After working for most of the day, Yunxi set up a simple rehabilitation room for him in the office, so that he could do some simple rehabilitation activities without interrupting his work.

With the encouragement of his wife, Shen Mingxu found it easier to accept the help of the rehabilitation therapist. He also hoped that through exercise and learning some skills to use crutches, he could take care of himself and not have to rely on the nurse for everything.

In the first few days, Yunxi listened to Shen Mingxu and didn't go to the rehabilitation room to see him. He said that he needed several people to help him stand, which was ugly. He would let her see him after a few days when he could walk by himself.

Although she didn't see her husband walking, Yunxi could see that Shen Mingxu was getting thinner due to fatigue. Every day after he took off his clothes after exercise, he was sweating all over. At night, he complained about leg pain more frequently. Now, she was the first one to say that he should stop and feel sorry for him.

"Xiaoxu, you have been practicing too hard recently. Why don't you take a few days off? I'll talk to the rehabilitation teacher tomorrow morning."

"No, I'm practicing well. I can't stop." After taking a shower, Shen Mingxu applied body lotion to himself while sitting on the bed. He had just made a little progress in rehabilitation, and he would definitely not agree with Yunxi's proposal.

"You have lost so much weight and you don't have the strength. Why don't you rest for a few days before practicing?" She still wanted to persuade him to take a few days off.

"No strength? Haha, bring me the crutches, so you can see." He couldn't stand saying that he had no strength. Shen Mingxu stretched out his hand to Yunxi randomly and asked her for crutches.

Crutches are used for rehabilitation. They are very heavy, but the crutches are widened and thickened, and the friction on the floor is very good. Shen Mingxu moved his legs by himself. His right leg was already under the bed. He picked up his left leg and moved it under the bed. Seeing Yunxi holding his crutches and sitting on the bed, he looked up at her with a smile on his face.

Usually sitting in a wheelchair, the pedal on the left side of the wheelchair is two inches higher than the right side to support the weak left leg. Originally, Shen Mingxu's left leg had gone through hardships and had to rely on a brace to help straighten and support the knee joint to walk. Later, after a fall and fracture, his left leg was declared by the doctor to be unable to walk again.

The doctor's words were based on decades of medical experience. Sure enough, during the long recovery period after being discharged from the hospital, the symptoms of Shen Mingxu's sick leg after the injury appeared one by one. He began to feel more frequent pain, and his tendons, bones and joints atrophied due to muscle loss, and the contracture became more and more severe. He also had frequent convulsions and was in a state of paralysis.

Now he is sitting on the bed. Both his left and right legs look fine. He puts his right foot on the bed and supports himself, then stands up with crutches. Even with the weight of his whole body on his right leg, the abnormality of his left leg can still be clearly seen.

Only the toes of his slender left foot touch the floor. Since Shen Mingxu's left thigh is obviously thin, his whole leg is slightly contracted and curled, swinging uncontrollably.

He stretches out his arms to support his crutches. His left leg is thin and weak, but his right leg stands straight. He starts to move his steps with the support of the crutches.

If he wears shoes and foot braces, his left foot will look much better. But now Shen Mingxu's left foot is thin and soft, and he has no strength to support his body. He relies entirely on crutches and his right leg to move forward. His unstraightened left leg rubs the floor with his toes again and again. He walks from the bed to the sofa step by step, and then walks back to Yunxi step by step.

The loose pants corrected the shape of his thin and crooked legs, but it was obvious that his left leg was sick and couldn't walk. Yunxi felt sorry for her lover and wanted to hug him and do everything for him.

"That's great, Xiaoxu, you can walk now." Yunxi hugged Shen Mingxu's waist, carefully helped him sit on the bed, put the crutches aside, turned back and kissed his cheek. She was really happy for him.

"Now you believe it, so the rehabilitation class can't stop."

"Okay, okay, I just want you to rest for a few days. Look, you've lost a lot of weight." He had to hold the bed with his hands to sit steadily. Yunxi naturally carried his legs to the bed. Touching his skinny left leg, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

"Well, I didn't even realize it had changed so much." Pulling over the left leg, Shen Mingxu touched the instep that had been bent. His left foot became weaker and thinner. He hadn't worn a foot brace for several months. Now it was too late to wear it to correct the ankle.

"It will be fine." Even a strong person like Yunxi can be deceiving at times. She held the useless leg curled up and unable to move, but she loved it like a treasure and even wrote a blank check to comfort Shen Mingxu.

In the moonlight pouring down like the Milky Way, the snow-white gauze curtains reflected the silhouette of Yunxi warming Shen Mingxu's legs and body. Her slender shadow was superimposed on his, more like a kitten kissing him closely and getting close to him, protecting his fragility and excitement, and locking in the intoxicating and beautiful dreams of the summer night.
