Chapter 19 - II
There was no conflict in Xie Qi’s heart, between pitying Qin Yizhi and wishing him to spend more time in bed.
Qin Yizhi could not speak, Xie Qi had no intention of speaking, and the ward fell into terrible silence.
He didn’t know how long it took, but Yao Wenzhu finally hurried over. She must have been running. Her long hair, which was always meticulously held together with hairpins, was slightly messy, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
She rushed to Qin Yizhi’s bedside, her eyes red with excitement, and her voice trembled: “Yizhi, you finally woke up! It’s been eight months! Eight months! You’ve been lying there for eight months!”
She wanted to reach out to touch Qin Yizhi’s face, but Qin Yizhi tilted his head slightly, clearly avoiding her touch.
Yao Wenzhu’s expression froze slightly, her eyes filled with sadness, but she quickly turned to Xie Qi. She stood up and rushed to Xie Qi’s side. She changed from her usual gentleness and anxiously reached out to hold Xie Qi in her arms and faced Qin Yizhi. She said, “I know you like him; I want you two to get married.” Then she said to Xie Qi, “Qiqi, quick, call your husband!”
If she still wanted him to call someone husband when the people were awake, then she might as well kill him.
Yao Wenzhu shook his shoulders anxiously and urged: “Baby, please call your husband quickly. Don’t be silent at this time!”
Xie Qi: “…”
He was so embarrassed that his soul was shaken. He usually could talk normally, but now he had to call him husband in front of the husband himself.
Yao Wenzhu kept urging him, Xie Qi could only bite the bullet and move his lips slightly, shouting, “…husband.”
The mood back then while calling husband was very peaceful, almost as plain as calling a teacher, and had no special meaning. But now after shouting the word, Xie Qi felt as if there were ants crawling all over his body – precisely because of his change in mood, he felt quite embarrassed when he shouted.
“Yes, that’s it.” Yao Wenzhu happily took his hand, then reached out to take Qin Yizhi’s hand and put their hands together. “Yizhi, are you happy? Wait until you are better. Just get married! I will tell grandpa that he should not give you another woman from the Yan family. Mom does not want you to get married to others, so just be with the person you like!”
Xie Qi: “…”
It seemed that this lie must be exposed today.
A heavy blush appeared on his beautiful cheeks, spreading all the way to the roots of his ears. His eyes were sore and painful, so much so that his eye sockets were slightly red.
.
Yao Wenzhu seemed to notice something, reached out, and took off his baseball cap, revealing Xie Qi’s soft and delicate face, and said with a smile: “What kind of hat are you wearing inside the room? Take it off quickly and let your husband see your face.”
She said to Qin Yizhi somewhat flatteringly: “Look, your wife is so beautiful! As soon as mom sees it, I want to catch him and let him be my daughter-in-law. Mom will not force you anymore. If you don’t like any woman, Qiqi is fine, I won’t object.”
It was clear that Qin Yizhi was still ignoring her. He didn’t move his hands and closed his eyes again. It seemed that he had made up his mind to ignore Yao Wenzhu. Seeing this, Yao Wenzhu’s chest rose and fell violently, and she pressed her chest with her hand. Because she tried her best to control her emotions, her whole body trembled.
She turned to Xie Qi and said, “Qiqi, can you help mother talk to Yizhi? He truly likes you; he will definitely listen to you.”
Xie Qi: “…”
He remained silent, and Yao Wenzhu’s eyes became more pleading, “Baby, can you do me a favor? Please coax him quickly.”
Xie Qi paused and lowered his voice and said, “He just woke up. If there is anything, maybe we should wait a few days?”
Yao Wenzhu’s voice immediately became sharp, “No!” But she quickly realized her gaffe. She tried hard to control her emotions and lowered her voice, “Qiqi baby, help mom, he likes you very much. As long as you take action, he will definitely be happy. He woke up because of you, do you understand? Baby, please help mom, come on, please help me!”
Xie Qi: “…”
He didn’t dare to say anything to Qin Yizhi, but Yao Wenzhu calling him “baby” made Xie Qi, who had never been called baby before, felt a little dizzy. His ears turned redder, and he had no choice but to say in a low voice: “Okay.”
Yao Wenzhu had been saying these words to him beside the bed, and Qin Yizhi must have heard them clearly. Was it possible to conspire in person like this?
Xie Qi approached Qin Yizhi and wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say. What could he say? He didn’t know Qin Yizhi at all. How could he make him happy? As for Qin Yizhi waking up, no matter how he thought about it, it couldn’t be because of him.
It was because the man was about to wake up, and he happened to bump into him. Back then he had some concerns about Yao Wenzhu, but now he really felt that she was a bit naive.
