Qin Jiale gave all the eggs to his brother-in-law and then said, “My sister asked me to cook them, saying that she might need them tonight. But after having the noodles, she didn’t eat a single egg.”
“Did your sister eat something before she came?” Chu Molin turned to look at his sleeping wife.
“Yeah, you don’t know what my sister did…” Qin Jiale told Chu Molin all about how Qin Xue arranged her food and hospitalization.
“Your sister is very strong.” Chu Molin put the eggs on the table and pulled his wife’s hand to his face, feeling it.
“Mmm, I didn’t know my sister could be so strong.” Qin Jiale felt like she had never really known her sister.
Her sister now was so different from her sister before, but she really liked her sister now.
“It’s because I couldn’t be there for her, so she had to learn to be strong.” Chu Molin looked at Qin Xue, his eyes full of love and care for her.
“Brother-in-law, go eat something and drink some water first. I’ll watch my sister. Otherwise, when she finds out you’re not eating, she’ll be mad.” Qin Jiale saw that her brother-in-law hadn’t eaten the eggs on the table, so she tried to persuade him in Qin Xue’s name.
Chu Molin didn’t say anything and didn’t move away. He just silently let go of Qin Xue’s hand and picked up the eggs on the table to eat.
“Brother-in-law, here’s some water for you.” Qin Jiale saw that he didn’t want to leave, so she went and got him a cup of water herself.
“Thank you.” Chu Molin took the water, but didn’t drink it. He just thanked his sister-in-law.
“You go rest on the bed over there. I’ll watch your sister.” Chu Molin looked at the accompanying bed next to him and told Qin Jiale. If it weren’t for the fact that it was late and unsafe for her as a girl, he would have sent her home to rest.
Accompanying his wife was enough for him; there was no need for both of them to stay.
“Alright.” Qin Jiale didn’t refuse. It was probably what her sister would want, having her husband by her side.
Qin Jiale was tense enough today. Now that she relaxed, she felt sleepy. Her eyes closed and she quickly fell into a dream.
Chu Molin’s eyes were only filled with his wife.
Chu Molin watched Qin Xue sleep sweetly. After making sure her temperature was normal, he simply held her hand and slept by her side.
When Qin Xue woke up, she felt her hand being pressed. As she tried to pull it out, she thought of something and turned to look. Sure enough, it was Chu Molin holding her hand.
Qin Xue looked at the exhaustion on his face and stroked his eyebrows with her heart aching. How long had it been since he’d rested?
This foolish man must have come to the hospital as soon as he saw her note when he returned.
Fortunately, she had foresight. She didn’t know when she might give birth, and would be held up in the hospital for a long time. She left a note, fearing he would worry when he came back.
Qin Xue was now glad she had done so. If he came back and couldn’t find her, who knows how anxious he would be?
“Mmm, Xue’er.” Chu Molin caught the hand that was messing with his face and opened his eyes.
“Did I wake you up?” Qin Xue smiled sheepishly.
“No, I didn’t sleep well.” Chu Molin took Qin Xue’s hand, kissed it, and said.
“Did you rush over to the hospital as soon as you got home?” Qin Xue looked at his camouflage outfit, which was still covered in mud.
“Yeah, I didn’t see you when I got home. I was worried, so I looked at your note and came over.” Chu Molin’s heart almost jumped out when he saw the note.
“Were you scared? Does this hurt?” Qin Xue looked at the scratches on his hand that had broken the skin.
“It doesn’t hurt.” Chu Molin smiled.
“Nonsense, how can it not hurt when the skin is broken?” Qin Xue looked at this silly man with tears in her eyes.
“Silly girl, what’s this pain compared to yours?” Chu Molin stroked her head. This silly woman.
