She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 936: Chapter 984: I’ll Do It Myself

“I’m not eating, you eat it yourself.” Utterly ashamed, Sheng Ning decided to hide in the bathroom for a while and take a shower.

The spring climate was warm, so a daily shower was necessary. Fortunately, the hospital room was a private one, and remarkably, it even had a bathroom. In the 1980s, this was considered the height of luxury.

Only very important leaders would receive such treatment.

Sheng Ning finished her shower, changed into clean pajamas, and only afterward did she come out after washing her clothes as well. Outside, Xu Qigang had already drunk the chicken soup and tidied up the clay pot a bit.

“You still can’t get out of bed, right?”

“Hmm!” He had a gloomy expression, and it was clear that being unable to get out of bed and his limited mobility put him in a foul mood.

“Serves you right! Who told you to sneak out of the hospital when you had nothing to do? And it’s one thing to leave the hospital, but you even dared to carry Fatty Zhu.” Sheng Ning got annoyed at the thought of it. Why be so fat for no reason? If he had been a bit thinner, the wound wouldn’t have torn open again.

“I can tough it out.” This kind of pain was nothing to him. Xu Qigang lifted the blanket to get out of bed, and Sheng Ning, frightened, tossed her clean clothes to the floor and rushed over quickly.

“You can’t get out of bed.” Sheng Ning held his arm, “What if the wound gets hurt again?”

Xu Qigang looked a bit embarrassed and said awkwardly, “It’s okay, the doctor exaggerated about the three tears. It’s not like I’m Chen Yingjie, who got slashed all over with countless knives.”

Sheng Ning kept a stern face, “So?”

Xu Qigang quietly pulled open his clothes, revealing his right side, which was wrapped in white gauze. His chest muscles were firm and robust, with distinct lines showing the hidden power that could make one’s heart tremble.

“Think about it, how could there be any real tearing effect?”

“Were we all deceived by the doctor? Why would he lie to us?” She had been worried for so long; if she had known, she wouldn’t have gone to rescue the attending doctor today and let him get a good punishment.

“It was Zhou Hong’s idea, executed by Guo Siming.” Guo Siming was Dean Guo’s son and a student of the attending doctor, which allowed the attending doctor to make an exception.

This was something even the Dean didn’t know.

“So there’s nothing wrong?” Sheng Ning bent down, lying on his chest, and looked carefully.

Xu Qigang felt embarrassed under her gaze, “Actually, it’s not nothing.”

Of course, they couldn’t completely lie; first, he couldn’t pass it off, and Zhou Hong was also afraid of settling accounts later. Moreover, if it was a complete lie, the attending doctor wouldn’t have agreed.

Although it didn’t cause a tear, the internal injuries certainly worsened, especially in the lungs. He probably really shouldn’t smoke anymore.

“Hmph! You guys have so many tricks.” Sheng Ning let go in anger, nearly causing Xu Qigang to fall, which frightened her into quickly supporting him again.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t you say it was nothing?”

“Hmm… actually, there are internal injuries.”

“I knew it wouldn’t be that simple, Fatty Zhu is so fat, he really needs to lose weight.”

…

“Xu Qigang.” Sheng Ning shouted loudly.

“What is it? Feeling unwell? I told you to eat well, otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to handle it, but you didn’t believe me.”

“…” Is this taking advantage of the situation? Too outrageous.

Sheng Ning tried to sit up, but with no strength in her body, she ended up falling halfway back down.

“You better just stay down and get some rest.”

“No way. I’m here to take care of you; there’s no reason for you to be up and me still in bed.” She glanced at the clock on the wall. Oh my! It’s already noon.

“I asked Su Huai’an to take my parents out, oh no, oh no…” she hurriedly got up, her foot went soft on the ground, but Xu Qigang quickly caught her in time.
