Chapter 114 - Recovering (1/2)

Song Sheng kissed her passionately when their entire family walked in. Qian Meigui pulled away from him, flushed and embarrassed. But Song Sheng enclosed his forearm around her waist, gently tugging her against him, grinning smugly.

Song Jinyi raised a brow, ”So when did this exactly start?” she asked curiously, stepping closer.

Qian Meigui and Song Sheng glanced at each other, not knowing how to answer, but then they began to laugh. Song Sheng was rubbing her back soothingly when Qian Meigui shook her head. ”Who knows?” she responded. Qian Meigui and Song Sheng kept going back and forth about their feelings for years. They couldn't date as they were afraid of the risks, fearful of what their family would think, worried about what the other would have thought if they confessed.

But now, they were together.

Yang Rei stepped forward, her mouth gaped, nearly falling to her knees when she saw Song Sheng awake and well. Qian Meigui stepped aside. For the past haunting six weeks, Yang Rei maintained a steady composure, mainly to soothe the worries of her other children. But to her, Song Sheng was her eldest son, and in her eyes, he was still her baby boy.

Yang Rei embraced Song Sheng lightly and gently, crying over his shoulder. Song Sheng smiled as he attempted to stroke her back, but he was too sore, so he clumsily patted his mother's back whispering something in her ear that none of the others could hear.

Afterwards, Song Jinyi and Song Jun properly greeted and spoke to him privately as Qian Meigui leaned against the doorframe. Song Ren then stood in front of her, ”So the reason why you weren't seeing any other men was that you and Sheng were f.u.c.k.i.n.g?” Qian Meigui blushed red, covering half her face. ”What kind of question is that?” She responded. Song Ren chuckled, ”Yup. You two have so much in common,” she remarked. Qian Meigui was puzzled, but Song Ren shook her head, laughing.

Afterwards, Song Ren took Qian Meigui by the hand to meet with Song Sheng.

”Brother, you are going to be discharged in a few days,” Song Ren said to him.

”Did you marry that Su boy?” he asked her.

Song Ren was surprised. She shook her head. ”No. Why?”

”I'm sorry,” he admitted.

Song Ren smiled. ”Please, Sheng. I was waiting for you to wake dimwit. It didn't matter how long it took.” Song Sheng smiled before he stretched out to ruffle Song Ren's hair. She then smacked his hand away, removing her hair tie to comb out the strands of her long black hair with her fingers. ”Listen, my hair means everything to me.” Song Sheng laughed at her. He then looked at Qian Meigui, smiling before taking her hand. It was Song Ren's cue to leave. Song Ren stepped away as re-tied her hair, walking away gracefully.

”Will you stay with me tonight?” he asked Qian Meigui with a deep magnetic tone. She nodded. ”Hmm.”

Everyone stayed in the hospital room with Song Sheng until the night had fallen. Qian Meigui was finally left alone with him to have a conversation. A nurse had left him a tray of food when Qian Meigui began to cut the chicken into pieces so that he could eat comfortably without straining his body.

After he finished eating, he asked, ”Can you take me for a night stroll?” Qian Meigui went to ask the nurse if he could go for a walk, and the nurse permitted them, so long as he took a walker.

Qian Meigui then helped raise him, and to steadily take hold of the walker, but she flushed as she realized that his entire backside was exposed. ”Can you tie my hospital gown?” Song Sheng asked her. Qian Meigui nodded, steadily grasping the strings of his gown.
