C86 (1/2)
Xia Li stayed by Sun Chun's side for a short while, before tiredly lying on the bed and falling asleep. The room was once again quiet, and only heard the pitter patter sound of rain hitting the floor outside the door.
After an unknown period of time, Sun Chun slowly woke up. With a glance, he saw the sleeping Xia Li beside his bed. The corner of his lips revealed a trace of a smile, and he lightly caressed the ruddy face of the woman beside him.
caressed Xia Li's face again and again, making the unconscious person to realize that she was not holding onto anything. She frowned, grabbed her restless hands, and fell asleep once again.
Sun Chun stopped playing with her and lovingly caressed Xia Li's black hair, struggling to support himself up so that he could sit up straight, but his hands slipped and his body fell on the bed, waking Xia Li up.
”What's wrong?” Xia Li opened his eyes and looked at Sun Chun.
”I want to get out of bed and walk around.” Sun Chun said warmly.
”You have just retired from the cold and cannot blow the cold wind. You are not allowed to go anywhere today. Lie down on your bed and rest well.” Xia Li said in a serious tone.
At the same time, there was a series of knocks on the door. Xia Li stood up to open the door, and walked in with a bowl of soup.
”Shopkeeper, this is the medicine I concocted to dispel the cold wind for Young Master Sun, I'll leave it here for now. If you need anything, feel free to tell me.” Day Bao said as he placed the soup on the table.
”Thank you, Day Bao.” Sun Chun coughed and replied hoarsely.
Day Bao smiled as he rubbed the back of his head, and then retreated.
After Sun Chun finished drinking the medicine, he gave the medicine to Xia Li.
Lin Que put the bowl on the table. He still wanted to stay with Sun Chun a little longer to make up for the time they had missed each other recently.
Xia Li pushed the door open and walked out. She saw that Lee's was supporting Xia Manjiang who was covered in mud and water, walking into the house. She was shocked and walked over to Lee's.
”Your father went all the way back from the outside of the town and fell down several times. His body is still burning right now, and we can't just watch him die. Otherwise, my conscience will not be able to rest.” The Lee's said, his eyes turning red.
Xia Li was startled, but when she said that, she rejected him immediately, and that made her feel uncompassionate. With Day Rui who was following behind Lee's, Day Bao gave her a look, and then the two servants ran in front of Lee's, and took Xia Manjiang over and helped him into the Lee's's room.
Following this, the Lee's helped Xia Manjiang to change his clothes, take a hot bath, and eat Feng Feng Han's medicine. The Lee's stayed by Xia Manjiang's side, taking care of him for the entire night, until the second day when he fainted on the side.
Xia Li felt nothing in his heart towards Xia Manjiang, who had abandoned his wife and child to go hide his debt. Instead, he stood indifferently at the side and did not approach, and just like that, two or three days passed by quietly. Xia Manjiang had completely recovered but still did not take a single step out of bed.
When Xia Li was dragged by the Lee's to see Xia Manjiang, Xia Manjiang who had been lying down in bed all this time felt guilty. He sat up from the bed, put on his clothes and got off the bed.
”Are you better?” Xia Li asked Xia Manjiang coldly.
”My good daughter, it's all thanks to your mother's care and care. I feel much better.” Xia Manjiang said, taking the initiative to approach the Lee's, to hold her hand, and said with a smile.
Lee's was a little embarrassed and wanted to retract his hand, but was pulled directly into Xia Manjiang's embrace.
”You all, this is?” Xia Li was stunned.
”Your mother accepts me again. Father swears that from now on, he will live a peaceful life with your mother and help you take care of hospital.” Xia Manjiang said.
Xia Li found it hard to accept this fact as she left Lee's's room while stroking the strands of hair by her ear. She needed to take a deep breath and tidy up her messy thoughts.
It had only been a single day, and the fact that the Lee's had turned against her camp and accepted Xia Manjiang was far beyond her expectations.
Xia Li was sitting in the courtyard in a daze, while the Lee's followed closely behind, and sat down next to her.
Mother knows you don't understand, but you have to give yourself and your father a chance. Perhaps this time, he is sincerely repenting and wants to come back and live a good life with our family.
Lee's's words caused Xia Li's heart to sink a little. She had never thought about all these, so she could only stay silent for a moment.
”Can we keep him for a while?” Lee's leaned on Xia Li and lowered his posture.
”Yes.” Xia Li replied as he lowered his head and did not speak any further.
Separated by a door, Xia Manjiang, who was hidden in a room, could clearly see the expression of Xia Li, who was in the courtyard.
Xia Li returned to Sun Chun's room gloomily. He was holding a book and flipping through it when he saw Xia Li come in. He poured a cup of tea and passed it to her.
”What are you depressed about?” Sun Chun looked at Xia Li's expression and asked.
”My mother is prepared to accept Xia Manjiang. In the future, even the sky will feel like it's crumbling.” Xia Li's expression became gloomy, and his mood dropped to the extreme.
