Chapter 41 – Second confession! (1/2)

Morning.

9 am.

Drip, drip, drip…… The needle of the drip was injected into Dong Xuebing’s wrist. It was excruciating. Qu Yunxuan had nothing much to do in the ward, and she took his keys. She left for his home to help him bring his towels, underwear, socks, etc. She also needs to help him bring a set of clean clothes. The newly bought suit and shoes were all damaged in the fire.

After Qu Yunxuan left, the nurse who was inserting the drip laughed: “Your aunt is so pretty.”

The old man also said: “That girl is so nice to you.”

Dong Xuebing felt proud. It was as if they were praising him.

Qu Yunxuan returned before 11 am with a small suitcase. She had brought clothes, toothbrush, shampoo, plates, etc. along with her and packed everything into the small cabinet beside Dong Xuebing’s bed. She was sweating and panting. But she did not stop. She lifted Dong Xuebing’s blanket and change his socks for him. After that, she took a plastic basin and soap to the washroom to help wash his dirty socks.

Dong Xuebing was touched. ‘Aunt Xuan, rest for a while.”

Qu Yunxuan turned and smiled. She still had foams on her hands. “I am not tired. You stop moving about. You are still on a drip.”

“Ok.”

Aunt Xuan was squatting down washing the clothes, and her back was facing Dong Xuebing. Her clothes were pulled up slightly, exposing her lower back. Dong Xuebing’s eyes were glued to her back. Maybe he was imagining something naughty and suddenly had the urge to pee. He looked at the bottle of drip hang above him. There were at least half a bottle more. It will last at least half an hour more. He tried to control the urge, but could not stand it anymore. He endured the pain in his shoulders and legs and slowly got off the bed to wear his slippers.

Qu Yunxuan who had finished washing his socks was shocked. “What are you trying to do?”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “I need to go to the toilet.” He reached out to grab the drip.

“Stop moving. You are not allowed to move.” Qu Yunxuan hurriedly washed her hands. “The drip is attached to your moveable hand. You cannot carry the drip with that hand.”

It was hard for Dong Xuebing to visit the toilet yesterday. Today, it was harder with the drip. Dong Xuebing also knew that he was not allowed to move. But it was embarrassing for him to ask Aunt Xuan to help him. “It’s fine. I will be out in a minute to help you.” Dong Xuebing ignored her and pressed the drip’s valve, stopping the drip. He carried the bottle and limped towards the toilet.

Qu Yunxuan walked towards him angrily. “Why can’t you listen to me? You want me to hit you?” She took the bottle from him and helped him to the toilet. “Don’t try to be a hero. Come, I will help you.”

Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly: “It’s okay. I can do it myself.”

Qu Yunxuan waved her hand: “You want me to hit you? Hurry up and go!”

“Ok……” Dong Xuebing knew he could not win against her and limped into the toilet.

Usually, the toilets in the hospital will have hooks for hanging the drip bottle. But Dong Xuebing and Qu Yunxuan looked around and did not see the hooks. It was embarrassing, and both of them paused for a second before Qu Yunxuan closes the door behind her and lifted the toilet seat. She raised the bottle of drip above her head and turned towards the wall. “Hurry. I will not look at you.”

Dong Xuebing almost died from the embarrassment. “Errr…… I…… You……”

“What are you shy of?” Qu Yunxuan turned and stared at him. “Hurry!”

Dong Xuebing almost cried when he saw Qu Yunxuan turning and looking at him. He slowly untied his hospital pants but did not lower it.

“I will count to 3, and I will really hit you.” Qu Yunxuan said with her back facing him. “1…… 2…… 3…….”

Dong Xuebing gritted his teeth, lower his pants and start to pee.
