Chapter 353 Overthinking
By the time He Shu walked out the door, Uncle Niu and his driver had already walked a long way away, almost running.
My aunt called Xiao Ding to send him off. When she turned around, she saw He Shu covering his mouth and coughing, so she quickly took him back to the house.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I know this Niu Juncai. If that's the case, just keep him."
"Aunt, is this okay?" He Shu always felt that this was no different from taking other people's money for no reason.
My aunt smiled and said, "He will feel relieved if you accept it. For a big boss like this, it is better to pay back the money as a favor than to owe it."
Is that so? He Shu thought about it and thought that maybe what his aunt said was right.
In this case, He Shu stopped worrying about it. He didn't check how much money was in the card and put it away for the time being.
My aunt poured some water for He Shu. He Shu drank two sips and his throat felt less itchy, but his head still felt a little heavy.
"Why are you coughing suddenly? Are you catching a cold?" Aunt touched He Shu's forehead, which felt a little damp and cool.
"It's okay, auntie. I'll go back to sleep."
He Shu went upstairs and slept until Zhao Qishui and Xia Miao came back together.
Zhu Yu took his temperature two or three times and found he had a low fever and was sweating.
Zhao Qishui felt really regretful and blamed himself when he saw this: "I should have known not to ask him to accompany me to see Zhao Yan . How about we go to the hospital again?"
"It's okay. Xiaoshu just got out of the hospital and hasn't recovered yet. He has a weak constitution and is prone to catching colds."
"I'll cook something light for him tonight, and he'll be fine after taking the medicine."
Although Zhu Yu felt sorry for He Shu, he couldn't blame Zhao Qishui. Fortunately, He Shu didn't have a high fever, and getting more sleep would help him maintain his spirit.
After the two of them went out, they left Xia Miao in He Shu's room.
Xia Miao sat down beside the bed, looked at He Shu sleeping, and reached out to touch his face.
He Shu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes. Seeing that it was Xia Miao, he reached out and held her hand and gently pulled it.
Xia Miao then lay down next to He Shu.
"Does it hurt?"
He Shu closed his eyes again and shook his head gently: "I'm just sleepy."
"Then you sleep a little longer, I 'll stay with you."
He Shu turned sideways and raised his arm, and Xia Miao naturally got into his arms. The two of them just lay there quietly hugging each other...
I lay there until it was dark, the old man came back from outside, and dinner was almost ready.
Zhu Yu went upstairs, gently pushed open the door, and saw two people sleeping sweetly in each other's arms.
She didn't go in either, but quietly retreated with an unconcealable smile on her face.
As soon as Zhu Yu closed the door and left, Xia Miao woke up.
Because she had to spend some free time with He Shu recently, she had been very busy with school work and had much less time to sleep and rest.
I originally wanted to lie down with He Shu, but ended up falling asleep too.
He Shu's embrace was so warm that Xia Miao was sweating in her sleep. When she woke up, she touched He Shu's head, which felt like it had been fished out of the water.
I touched my neck again and it was also wet. Why was I sweating so much?
Xia Miao stood up, turned on the light, sat next to He Shu and called him softly: "He Shu, wake up ?"
He Shu closed his eyes, stretched out his arms, hugged Xia Miao's waist, and then moved his head over.
Looking at He Shu who was resting his head on her legs and refusing to open his eyes, Xia Miao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She had never seen He Shu like this before. Was he acting like a spoiled brat? As soon as this thought came to her mind, Xia Miao found it incredible.
"What time is it?"
He Shu's voice was muffled and a little hoarse than usual after waking up, but Xia Miao actually thought it sounded very nice.
She touched the back of He Shu's head and said, "It's almost six o'clock. I have to go back."
"Don't go back, just sleep here?"
"Ah?" Xia Miao looked at He Shu's bed: "This... this is not good, right?"
She didn't feel shy about taking such good care of He Shu in the hospital, but now that he is better, Xia Miao feels embarrassed.
What's more, this is my grandfather's house, and my aunt and others are here.
"What's wrong with it? Didn't you sleep here before? Just tell your aunt later and you can still sleep with her." He Shu looked up with his eyes narrowed.
So that's what you mean? You don't want to sleep with her? Xia Miao knew she was overthinking and didn't dare to look He Shu in the eye.
"Get up quickly."
"Yeah." He Shu sat up and rubbed his head. After sleeping for a while, he seemed to feel more comfortable.
"You're sweating a lot. Change your clothes. Don't take a shower yet. Wait until after dinner."
Xia Miao opened He Shu's closet and looked for clothes for him.
He Shu looked at it and felt that if he married Xia Miao in the future, perhaps married life would be like this?
"What are you looking at?" After finding clothes, Xia Miao saw He Shu sitting there stupidly. Suddenly, she thought He Shu was so cute.
She didn't know what was wrong with her today. She felt blushing and her heart beating fast just by looking at He Shu.
"I took off my shirt. It's all wet. If I don't change it, I'll catch a cold."
He Shu obediently took off his shirt and picked up a clean one to put on. Xia Miao reached out and touched the scar on his chest left after the surgery: "It doesn't hurt anymore, does it?"
"It doesn't hurt, it's just a little itchy when you touch me." He Shu smiled and dodged for a moment.
Xia Miao blushed and threw her pants on the bed: "Put them on yourself, I'll go downstairs first."
When He Shu saw her running away, he touched the scar, then obediently changed his clothes, put the dirty ones in the bathroom, and went downstairs.
Dinner has been set downstairs. My uncle just came in and my grandfather has also returned.
Xia Miao helped set the table, and her godfather came over to ask He Shu how he felt and whether he was feeling better.
He Shu nodded repeatedly. He felt his throat was itchy and wanted to cough in the afternoon, but he felt much better after a good sleep.
At the dinner table, my aunt talked about Niu Juncai. My uncle didn't say anything. My godfather didn't know who he was, but my old man knew.
"He is a remarkable entrepreneur and has served as a National People's Congress representative. He Shu, you have done a good thing. If he wants to thank you, just accept it. It is not a violation of discipline."
Seeing his grandfather say this, He Shu felt completely relieved.
After dinner, before Xia Miao could say anything, her aunt told her to stay with her that night.
My uncle and godfather looked at each other, and then at He Shu at the same time, because only one person could live with He Shu.
He Shu suddenly felt the pressure, and in the end, he still chose Zhao Qishui.
The uncle couldn't bear to look at Zhao Qishui, so he went to the guest room with the quilt in his arms.
Zhao Qishui was happy in his heart but didn't dare show it on his face. However, the occasional upward curling of the corners of his mouth betrayed him.
It’s not that early to go to bed, and He Shu has slept almost the entire day, so he can’t fall asleep now.
I was just watching my grandfather and godfather playing chess in the living room.
Her aunt was teaching Xia Miao how to knit a scarf with wool. Xia Miao wanted to knit one for He Shu after she learned it.
He Shu stared at the chessboard and raised his head when he heard the news on TV.
I just happened to see a notice on TV about the appointment and removal of officials within the Metropolitan G Committee...
