Chapter 442: Warm in Sickness

Originally, everyone had their own opinions about Yu Manxi’s matter. No matter what she did, it wouldn’t be good, and it would be impossible for her to prove her innocence.

The person behind this was so sinister that it made people’s hair stand on end.

Fu Sinian’s words in public directly exposed the crux of the matter. There were many people who followed the trend online, but there were also many who were rational.

It was one thing to watch a show and eat popcorn. But on careful thought, they might become accomplices.

If the person who had kidnapped Yu Manxi was despicable, how innocent could those who were tearing open her wound and making it bleed be?

As a result, when people on the internet talked about Yu Manxi later on, the netizens would spontaneously boycott them. Soon, this news disappeared into nothingness.

Other than the police’s routine questioning that night, not even the doctors and nurses disturbed her.

The two elders of the Fu family came over at around 8 p.m. and bought some fruits and daily necessities for the two of them. Old Madam Fu was old and soft-hearted. When she saw Yu Manxi’s appearance, her eyes instantly reddened.

They had also heard from Fu Chen that the He family had invited her back for dinner tonight. But since the incident, no one came. They didn’t dare to flare up in front of Yu Manxi, but when they returned, they were so angry that they slapped their thighs.

“A bunch of heartless bastards. They didn’t dare to come because they were afraid of being affected. Even if they didn’t come, they could have at least called. Who would want such parents?!

“What kind of people are in the He family? Do they have no conscience?

“Isn’t she their biological daughter? No wonder their family has declined. They’re rotten from the roots!”

At this moment, it was already late in the hospital. Fu Chen hadn’t left the hospital since the incident. He was currently leaning against his seat and reading a book.

Fu Sinian looked down at his watch. “Third Uncle…”

“Hmm?”

“It’s late.”

In other words:

You can scram now.

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at him. “Can you take care of her alone?”

Fu Sinian was not considered a considerate person, and he had never taken care of anyone before. So he would definitely be a little flustered at first.

“Yes.”

“Okay, I’ll come tomorrow morning and bring you breakfast.”

“Third Master, it’s too much trouble for you.” Yu Manxi felt apologetic that her matter had delayed him for so long, and he was even going to deliver food.

“It’s fine. I wake up early in the morning, so I’ll just take it that I’m coming here for a walk. Rest early,” Fu Chen said and then motioned for Shi Fang to follow him out.

This kid Fu Sinian doesn’t seem to need me anymore.

Chasing me away?

Getting rid of me once I’ve stopped being useful so quickly?

***

After Fu Chen left, only the two of them were left in the ward. The hospital was already silent at this hour. Yu Manxi had finished going through four IV bags, and the back of her hand was a little swollen. Her entire arm was sore and numb from maintaining the same posture for so long.

“Sinian, I want to go to the bathroom…”

Her back was still in pain. When she moved even a little, it felt as if her skin split open, and her breathing would quicken from the pain.

“Okay.” Fu Sinian walked over, squatted by the bed, and helped her lift the blanket. His arm passed under the crook of her legs. “Hold me. I’ll carry you over.”

The back of her shoulders was uninjured, just enough to carry her horizontally.

“My legs are fine. I’m not crippled.”

Before Yu Manxi could finish speaking, Fu Sinian had already picked her up. She cried out in surprise and could only reach out to hug his neck. She looked up at him. “Fu Sinian…”

“Hmm?”

“I’ve realized how much I love you. I love you even more than before…”

Fu Sinian looked down at her expressionlessly and only said two words, “Very good.”

Hearing this, Yu Manxi laughed.

Only her head and back were injured, so she could move both her arms and legs. She could naturally settle the rest herself.

The doctor had also said that the back of her head was only swollen and bleeding, and there were no other problems. If the cut had needed stitches, the surrounding hair would have needed to be shaved. After hearing this, Yu Manxi felt a burst of fear.

Shaving off a patch in the middle of her hair?

Shaving it off would have been like gouging out her flesh. If this had really happened, her heart would have ached to death.

Fu Sinian was guarding at the door of the bathroom. The hospital’s soundproofing wasn’t good, so she felt very embarrassed.

“Fu Sinian, go out for a while.” How can I relieve myself if you’re standing at the door?

Fu Sinian could tell that she was embarrassed, so he walked out. When he returned a few minutes later, Yu Manxi was already sitting on the bed.

“I’ll apply medicine for you.” When Fu Sinian came in, he locked the door of the ward and pulled the curtains around the bed, forming a relatively enclosed and narrow space with the bed as the center.

Other than prescribing medicine and placing her on IV drips, there were also some things that needed external application.

“Okay.” Yu Manxi tried to pull her clothes up from behind. But when she raised her arms, she pulled the wound on her back, making her gasp in pain.

“Just undo it.” The hospital had heating, so it wasn’t cold inside.

Yu Manxi was a little conflicted, but Fu Sinian walked straight to her and started to button her.

Due to the many bruises on her back, she wasn’t wearing any undergarments and was only wearing a hospital gown. His fingers moved from top to bottom. His warm fingertips slid gently across her skin. As though they were carrying an electric current, they made her body tremble slightly…

“Don’t seduce me,” Fu Sinian said bluntly.

Yu Manxi instantly blushed. This person is so shameless. He’s clearly taking advantage of me, yet he still said that I’m seducing him?

With her back facing him, Yu Manxi gritted her teeth…

It was the first time since the incident that Fu Sinian was facing her back directly. There were a lot of bruises and no cuts. But all of them were red and swollen, forming a huge contrast with her fair skin.

His pupils constricted as he picked up the ointment at the side. “Bear with it for a while. It might hurt a little.”

Yu Manxi nodded.

Fu Sinian dipped a little ointment on his fingertips and gently rubbed it on her back. Even though he tried his best to control the strength of his hands, he could still feel her body twitching from time to time. It was obvious that she was spasming from the pain.

The entire process of applying the medicine lasted for five minutes. She seemed to feel no pain and didn’t make a sound.

If not for the twitching and occasional spasms in his body, Fu Sinian would have felt that he wasn’t applying medicine to her.

“Alright, wait for the medicine to dry before putting on the gown.”

“Okay.” Yu Manxi groaned. Because she had tried her best to endure the pain, her voice was extremely hoarse.

Fu Sinian got up slightly and bent over. Carefully avoiding the wound on the back of her neck, he planted a scorching kiss on the back of her neck…

“If it hurts, why didn’t you say so?”

“If I had said it hurts, would you give me candy to eat?” Yu Manxi said nonchalantly.

She was used to taking responsibility for everything by herself. It was only useful to cry out if someone cared for you.

“Okay, I’ll give it to you.” Fu Sinian kissed the back of her neck.

Yu Manxi bit her lip, her eyes slightly red.

After the ointment on her back was absorbed, Fu Sinian carefully helped her put on her hospital gown. When she was resting, she could only sleep sideways. Fu Sinian stayed guarding by her bed…

***

At around one o’clock at night, Fu Sinian woke up. Yu Manxi had been overly frightened today, so the medicine she took might have helped her sleep a little. She was still asleep and hadn’t woken up.

Around two-thirty in the morning, he picked Dai Yunqing up and brought her to the ward. The mother and son had already discussed the matter on the way. This incident was an unexpected calamity, but after this incident, they finally saw the He family clearly.

When Yu Manxi woke up the next day, Dai Yunqing and Fu Chen were both in the ward. Dai Yunqing had even helped her wash the undergarments she had changed out of yesterday, making her feel even more embarrassed.

“Little Yu, I’ll make soup for you at home later. Look at how thin you are. You should take this opportunity to nourish yourself.” Dai Yunqing didn’t have a daughter, and the Fu family had raised a group of boys, so he was naturally very considerate to Yu Manxi.

“Thank you, Auntie. It’s just that I’m troubling you too much.”

“Why are you being so polite with me?”

During Yu Manxi’s hospitalization, many of her colleagues from the broadcasting station and acquaintances came to visit. All of them were blocked outside by Fu Sinian. The He family also came once.

Fu Sinian didn’t give them any face at all. He directly said that Yu Manxi was sleeping and couldn’t see any guests, and then he chased them away.

When the He family went to the hospital for the second time, Yu Manxi had already been discharged and returned home…

Yu Manxi had stayed in the hospital for seven days. She only had external injuries. The hospital was stuffy, and there were too many people visiting, so she couldn’t stay any longer.

Fu Sinian didn’t know how to cook, and Yu Manxi couldn’t possibly let Dai Yunqing run from the old residence to the Software Garden for her meals three times a day. So after a few discussions, Yu Manxi moved to the old residence to recuperate.

Ordinary people couldn’t enter the gated compound, so it was convenient to take care of her.

Yu Manxi had been to the old residence a few times, but moving in was another experience.

It was a happy event for her to be discharged from the hospital. Old Madam Fu called Fu Chen, Song Fengwan, and the Qiao father and son and prepared a good meal at home in celebration.

Yu Manxi had injured her head. Recently, she had been tying her hair up casually with a rubber band, and she hadn’t washed it for more than a week. Thinking that there were guests coming tonight, she asked Fu Sinian to wash her hair for her.

“The wound on your head hasn’t healed completely, so it shouldn’t touch water.” Fu Sinian was very stubborn in certain situations.

“You’re not washing the top. Help me wash the bottom a little.” Yu Manxi’s head no longer hurt much. Usually, when she went out, she would wear a loose hat to cover her head. But her hair was greasy, and she felt uncomfortable looking at it.

“Can’t touch water.” A certain someone’s attitude was firm.

“It’s just washing the bottom a little. Help me.” Yu Manxi had always been beautiful and bewitching. At this moment, when she was tugging his clothes, she looked coquettish and cute. Fu Sinian couldn’t take it anymore and could only help her…

During this period of time, he had also learned how to serve others. Yu Manxi lowered her head and dipped the ends of her hair into the water. Fu Sinian then carefully washed her hair…

His fingers gently passed through her hair, but he was worried about hurting her wound, so he was extra careful when rubbing the foam.

After he finally washed her hair with much difficulty, Yu Manxi took the hairdryer, plugged it in, and started drying her hair in front of the mirror.

She bent her back slightly. Because people in the capital were already using heating, and she was in her room, so she was wearing very little. At this angle, the curve of her chest was faintly visible…

Fu Sinian was standing at the side watching, and his throat tightened.

The two of them had been inseparable these days, but he knew that she had hurt her body, so he never dared to cross the line. She shifted her body slightly, and her two fair legs under her nightdress swayed in front of his eyes…

“Actually, I’m almost recovered. I’ll talk to Auntie tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, shall we move back?” Yu Manxi felt uneasy having her elders take care of her.

Fu Sinian let out a muffled groan. I actually had a shameless reaction just by looking at her legs?

He looked away and pinched the space between his eyebrows. Perhaps I’ve really been too tired recently.

“Sinian?” Yu Manxi turned off the hairdryer and tilted her head to look at him. Why isn’t he saying anything?

“Yes?”

Their eyes met, and his eyes were a little red. It wasn’t like they hadn’t done it before. When Yu Manxi saw him like this, coupled with his hoarse voice and forbearance, she looked down…

Her face burned red.

Why did this person suddenly…

“Little Fish…”

“W-what?”

“Why don’t you help me out?” he said actually directly, his face red.

When some emotions arose, he really wanted…

Besides, she was right in front of him. Wasn’t this torturing him?

“Huh?” Fu Sinian leaned over, and his hot breath landed on her face. Yu Manxi felt that she was burning and about to suffocate. “Okay.”

The man’s voice was suppressed and hoarse, entangling and seductive. Yu Manxi gritted her teeth. “But my body hasn’t fully recovered yet…”

“There’s another way…”

Yu Manxi’s face flushed red bashfully again.

When the two of them went downstairs, Song Fengwan had already arrived and was playing chess with Old Master Fu. Old Master Fu played Go, but Song Fengwan didn’t know how to play it at all. Old Master Fu was even explaining it to her.

“Big Sister Yu.”

“Wanwan.”

“How are you doing?”

“I feel much better.” Otherwise, how could she have been discharged?

“Your face is so red.”

The corners of Yu Manxi’s mouth twitched. “Perhaps the heating in the house is too high.”

Who knew that her hands were so sore that they were trembling at this moment. This person is simply a devil. How can he treat a patient like this?!

Too shameful!
