Husband, Spend Some Gold Coins

Chapter 16 - II



He had to kiss him, so Xie Qi kissed Qin Yizhi opportunistically on the corner of his mouth. His voice was slightly hoarse because of his dry throat, “Honey, please wake up quickly. If you lie down again, your skin will be wrinkled by my kisses. You don’t want to become my plaything, right?”

Xie Qi said to himself happily – “If my vegetative husband doesn’t wake up soon, he will only become your mother’s plaything when she chooses a wife for you.”

What was he talking about!!

Xie Qi made himself amused. He stepped away and said, “Today’s task is considered completed. Good night, husband. I will go to bed early.” When he called his husband, he didn’t feel intimate or coquettish. Instead, he was magnanimous and calm, as if he was talking to the teacher. It was so ordinary that he almost felt nothing at all, and it was hard to imagine how the man he called would feel.

He stood up and let go of Qin Yizhi’s hand that he had been holding. It was strange that Qin Yizhi didn’t react at all for such a long time.

Xie Qi thought distractedly, if Yao Wenzhu knew that Qin Yizhi had no reaction despite his hard work for so long, she would probably be disappointed with him and gradually lost hope in him. Then 200,000 yuan a month would still be lost. Could there be other way?

It was estimated that it would be wasted, and Yao Wenzhu might take back all the kindness she had shown to him.

But Qin Yizhi’s reaction was so big before, could he still make a deal?

This money was actually not easy to make.

.

Xie Qi thought this, returned to the room, sat on the bed, and unexpectedly found that the bed was also very soft. He opened the quilt and saw that it had been replaced by a soft and white mattress.

Xie Qi: “…”

He thought that as a patient, Qin Yizhi slept on a narrow hospital bed. Such a big bed would be cheaper for him who was not even the sick one.

Thinking about it, Qin Yizhi could only sleep on a hospital bed. After all, it would be more convenient for nurses and caregivers to take care of him.

Because the bed was soft, as soon as Xie Qi touched it, sleepiness swept over him and he fell asleep.

What he didn’t know was that on the hospital bed across the wall, the man on top of the hospital bed, moved his hands and grabbed the sheets. The muscles of his arms exposed outside the sleeves bulged slightly. The sheets were scratched by his fingers and the knuckles of his fingers were slightly dented. It turned white, obviously from exerting force, and because there was still a needle inserted in the back of his right hand, dark red blood surged into the infusion tube under his forceful movements.

Qin Yizhi’s thin eyelids that had been tightly closed trembled slightly, lifted up a little, then dropped weakly, repeated several times, and finally fell heavily. His hands gradually became weaker, and his breathing became steady.

Still a lifeless vegetative state.

.

Xie Qi slept soundly, but the bed was too soft, making his body slightly uncomfortable as he was used to sleeping on a hard bed.

After he woke up and washed up, he looked at the time and saw that it was only half-past six. He already had a biological clock and found it difficult not to wake up. Feeling a bit restless in bed, he decided to get up.

However, instead of wearing the clothes and shoes Yao Wenzhu prepared for him, he opted for his old clothes initially.

His mother, Jiang Sining, had a sharp eye. Working in a luxury goods appraisal agency, she could easily discern the authenticity of luxury items at a glance. It was a unique talent that earned her a high salary and ample leisure time—working only two or three days a week with a monthly salary ranging from 12,000 to 30,000 yuan. The annual bonus could reach 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. Not a bad work situation.

However, a few years ago, due to the expensive tuition fees at the private school he attended and additional costs for various educational needs, including Olympiad class tuition and material supplements, money was tight. This changed a bit when he entered high school. While public school tuition was more affordable, Jiang Sining still supported him with tuition and living expenses. During this time, Teacher Hou also contributed, making life more manageable.

Nonetheless, Jiang Sining had not been able to save much money over the years.

Considering these factors, Xie Qi decided not to wear the expensive clothes and shoes to meet Jiang Sining to avoid giving away their worth.

Xie Qi changed his clothes and was about to go out when a man pushed the door open and almost bumped into him.

The other party was startled, took a few steps back, stretched out his hand, and gestured to indicate that Xie Qi should go out first.

Xie Qi did not leave and asked him, “Are you a caregiver?”

The other person nodded and pointed to his mouth. Xie Qi understood, “You can’t speak?”

The man nodded and smiled, raising his tool bag to indicate that he was there to attend to Qin Yizhi.

Xie Qi didn’t leave but stared at him and said, “Come in, and I’ll see what you do.”

The man glanced at him doubtfully but entered the door without hesitation. He walked to the bed, opened the tool bag, and checked from inside, taking out a few tools. Xie Qi walked over to take a look; they were razors, aftershave lotion, swallowable toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc.

Xie Qi thought, paying attention to the details.

Even vegetative people needed proper care, like brushing their teeth.

Thinking this way, he remembered that he could smell the faint scent of mint on Qin Yizhi yesterday, and it smelled quite good.
