Chapter 10 Is He Here?

I was talking to Pei Shi Yu when there was a knock on the door. I immediately strode over and opened it.

It was my mother, holding large and small bags in her hands. I asked, "Delivering breakfast?"

"Yes, is it convenient for me to come in?"

I immediately stepped aside and said, "Come in, I was just about to call you."

After my mother came in, she gave Pei Shi Yu a very kind smile and said, "Did Lin Che take good care of you last night?"

"Very good."

"I made you some chicken soup. Drink it while it's hot."

"I'm hungry, thank you, Auntie," Pei Shi Yu said quite affectionately.

"You're welcome. I've been busy lately, otherwise, I should be taking care of you."

"It's the same with Lin Che taking care of me."

"Take good care of your body. Tell me what you want to eat. I can't help with anything else, but I can definitely satisfy your appetite with food."

"I won't be polite. I especially wanted to eat your cooking when I woke up this morning, but Lin Che hesitated to call you."

"I'll give you my cell phone number later. Call me directly if you want to eat anything."

Pei Shi Yu smiled. I felt that the relationship between the two of them had suddenly become much closer. People really need a chance to increase their affection for each other. Before this, they had basically no communication, and all that was left were first impressions, although they were still mainly polite to each other.

I stepped forward and asked Pei Shi Yu, "Want to wash up first?"

"Of course, help me to the bathroom."

I uncovered the quilt and said with some worry, "Are you sure you can manage?"

"I got up by myself this morning, but my calf is a little sore."

"Why didn't you call me?"

"I didn't want to wake you, you were sleeping soundly."

My mother looked at us, reminding us to be careful while saying to me, "I asked you to take care of Shi Yu in the hospital, but you slept so soundly that you didn't even know when she got up."

I didn't answer directly, I just asked, "Mom, did you bring toiletries?"

She went over and picked up a bag, saying, "Everything's in here."

Pei Shi Yu's complexion was obviously better today than last night. After entering, she washed her hands and touched her messy long hair, saying, "My hair feels a little greasy from sleeping."

I reached out and touched it, "It's not greasy. We'll wash it if it's dirty. I'll take care of you."

After saying that, I added, "I think it's nice to be sick. Not only is there someone to care for and take care of you, but the whole family is waiting on you."

"I think so too, I feel particularly relaxed."

When we came out, my mother had already put the chicken soup in a bowl. I picked up one of the bowls, and the aroma of the thick soup wafted over. Then I saw my mother look at the watch on her wrist, looking very anxious...

"Do you have something important to do this morning?" I asked her.

"I didn't go to the restaurant yesterday. Xiao Wu called me last night and told me to go earlier today. There should be something going on."

"Then you go. I'm here, so you can do your work with peace of mind."

"Shi Yu, I'll go back first. Call me if you want to eat anything."

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. You don't have to come over if you're busy."

"If I have time at noon, I'll deliver the food again. If I don't have time, I'll let Lin Che pick it up. There are so many things to do these days, so I can't take care of you."

"It's okay, you should go back first."

Looking at their sudden closeness, I was very happy. If Pei Shi Yu's injury could bring them together, I felt it would be worth it.

After my mother left, Pei Shi Yu didn't lie back down on the bed. She slowly loosened her muscles and bones before picking up the chicken soup and tasting it. I moved a chair over for her to sit down and said with concern, "Drink more if it's good."

"Okay, go to the company later and bring my laptop over. Even though I'm staying here, I can't ignore everything. And bring a few sets of change of clothes."

"Okay, think about everything else you want me to bring, and I'll bring it all at once."

"I can't think of anything else right now, just these."

At this time of day, there was movement in the hallway outside. Being in a confined space, Pei Shi Yu and I really had a sense of relying on each other. At this moment, she looked like an ordinary woman. No matter how successful she was in the workplace, she still needed someone to take care of and care for her when she was sick.

........

In the afternoon, just after we had lunch, Lin Hai called. Maybe it was because of Pei Shi Yu's words last night. This time, I answered the phone with a very good attitude and said, "Have you arrived?"

"I've already arrived at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University."

"Then I'll come down immediately."

"You don't need to come down. I've already come up. I'm in the corridor of the inpatient department. Just open the door."

I was stunned for a moment, and then lowered my voice and said, "What are you doing up here? Didn't I tell you last night not to come?"

"I'm here to see Shi Yu."

I thought that since he was already here, there was no need to drive him away. At this time, Pei Shi Yu asked, "Is your dad here?"

"Yes, he came up here without permission. He's outside, saying he's here to see you."

"Did you tell him I was hospitalized?"

"Yes."

"Then hurry up and let him in," Pei Shi Yu said without any hint of displeasure.

Opening the door to the ward, I poked my head out and saw Lin Hai's figure. He was standing at the other end of the corridor, carrying a lot of things in his hands. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he immediately looked over, and immediately walked towards this side after seeing me...

I didn't wait for Lin Hai. I turned around and said to Pei Shi Yu, "He's quite polite, he bought a lot of things to see you."

"He's always been very enthusiastic towards me."

Just as Pei Shi Yu finished speaking, Lin Hai appeared at the door. He didn't come in directly, but cautiously looked at the movement inside before walking inside. He said with a humble and warm tone, "Shi Yu, why are you hospitalized? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

I saw Pei Shi Yu smile awkwardly, and then replied somewhat perfunctorily, "It's nothing, maybe I've just been too tired lately."

At this time, Pei Shi Yu was standing. He immediately said with great concern, "Sit down and rest well. I heard A Che say last night that you were hospitalized. I originally wanted to rush over early in the morning, but then I thought it wouldn't be appropriate, so I'm late."

Listening to Lin Hai's tone, I felt that his greatest characteristic was that he spoke very exaggeratedly. Perhaps it was because he had always wanted to curry favor with the Pei family. Anyway, the words he spoke were not only warm, but also had a natural and intimate feeling. Compared to my mother, he seemed more enthusiastic and familiar. Of course, familiarity was certain, but I was a little uncomfortable.

So I quickly interrupted his courtesy and said very directly, "Put the things down, let's go out and talk."

Lin Hai completely ignored my urging, and looked at Pei Shi Yu and asked, "Is your dad doing well recently?"

"Very good," Pei Shi Yu answered very briefly.

"That's for the best. Unlike me, since Lin Yang left, our family has never been peaceful. Lin Yang's mother was also hospitalized for a long time some time ago..."

"If you have anything to say, let's go out and talk," I urged again.

Hearing this, I immediately walked up to him, because I was very resistant, especially for people who are hospitalized, not comparing good things, but preferring to compare bad things. Only then did Lin Hai look at me in a bit of astonishment.
