Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 503: Chapter 498: The Scared Qin Xue

“Xue’er, what’s wrong with you?” Chu Molin called out to Qin Xue.

However, Qin Xue didn’t respond to him, only sobbing softly.

Chu Molin tried to pull Qin Xue into his arms, but as soon as his hand touched her, the shock made him sit upright.

When Chu Molin turned on the light, he saw Qin Xue had a fever, her face bright red, and tears kept falling from her eyes. The gibberish she was muttering was a dagger through Chu Molin’s heart.

Because what Qin Xue was saying was, “Baby, mommy never meant to leave you all. Don’t leave mommy. Mommy won’t be so careless ever again.”

The only reason Qin Xue was frightened to the point of almost falling was due to his sudden calling out and touching her. Had he not done that, she wouldn’t have been scared.

Chu Molin got up to find the medication Qin Xue kept. She had told him what each one was for.

...
Once Chu Molin found the medication, he poured a glass of warm water for Qin Xue to take, it with but regardless of how he tried to feed it to her, the medication would spill out without entering her mouth.

In the end, Chu Molin tilted his head to take the medicine in his mouth, then sealed Qin Xue’s mouth with his and passed the medicine over to her slowly.

After administering the medicine, Chu Molin found a towel to wipe Qin Xue’s sweat and put on her forehead.

Looking at Qin Xue’s knitted brows and the occasional gibberish from her mouth, Chu Molin put her hand on his belly so she could feel the baby’s movement herself.

After an indefinite duration, Qin Xue’s fever finally subsided, and her frowned eyebrows eased up.

Only then did Chu Molin tidy up the medicine and towels, hugged Qin Xue and closed his eyes to rest.

When Qin Xue woke up, her head ached. The harsh sunlight streamed into the room, hitting her face. It was so bright that she had to close her eyes once before opening them again.

Seeing the familiar empty half of the bed, it was clear that Chu Molin had gone for training.

She rubbed her grumbling stomach, and remembered that she hadn’t had dinner before sleep last night. No wonder she was so hungry now.

Qin Xue put on her shoes and left the room to wash up, then she started to prepare breakfast.

Looking at the untouched rice and dishes in the kitchen, it appeared that after she fell asleep yesterday, Chu Molin didn’t eat dinner either. She wondered how he found the energy to train this morning.

Qin Xue decided to make scrambled eggs with fried rice, using the uneaten rice from last night.

Yesterday’s uncooked vegetables were just about right. Cooking them today wouldn’t waste any food.

Rubbing her aching head, Qin Xue started to cook. Later, she had to go to the city with her younger siblings. The tight schedule made her feel rushed.

She quickly made breakfast and ate. She left Molin’s portion warmed in the pot and left him a note. Then, she took her bag and went out the door.

Chu Molin had no idea Qin Xue would be going out today. He assumed her to still be asleep.

However, when he returned home, all was quiet. Upon entering the room, he saw no one there.

Only when he came out and saw the note on the dining table did he realize that she went to meet her siblings. Despite being sick, she never rests and always insists on going to the city. She just never saves him any worries.

On second thought, if she could run to the city, she must’ve been getting better. Otherwise, where would she get the energy to go?

Sighing, Chu Molin went into the kitchen, took out the food, and quietly began to eat alone.

After arriving at the guesthouse and meeting her siblings, Qin Xue helped carry Qin Qiu’s luggage and then checked out of one room.

Why did she check out of one room and not two?

Because Qin Xue planned to bring her sister home tonight, while her brother could continue staying in the guesthouse for another night.

Besides sending Qin Qiu to work today, they also needed to rent a store-front. Once they found a house, her brother would move in. If not, her brother would continue staying at the guesthouse until she found a house.
