Chapter 41: Second confession
Morning.
9 am.
Drip, drip, drip... The needle of the drip was injected intoDong Xuebing's wrist. It was excruciating. Qu Yunxuan had nothing much to do inthe ward, and she took his keys. She left for his home to help him bring histowels, underwear, socks, etc. She also needs to help him bring a set of cleanclothes. The newly bought suit and shoes were all damaged in the fire.
After Qu Yunxuan left, the nurse who was inserting the driplaughed: "Your aunt is so pretty." Trace back the roots of this material to n0v$lbin
The old man also said: "That girl is so nice to you."
Dong Xuebing felt proud. It was as if they were praisinghim.
Qu Yunxuan returned before 11 am with a small suitcase. Shehad brought clothes, toothbrush, shampoo, plates, etc. along with her and packed everything into the small cabinet beside Dong Xuebing's bed. She wassweating and panting. But she did not stop. She lifted Dong Xuebing's blanketand change his socks for him. After that, she took a plastic basin and soap tothe 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 herhands. "I am not tired. You stop moving about. You are still on a drip."
"Ok."
Aunt Xuan was squatting down washing the clothes, and herback was facing Dong Xuebing. Her clothes were pulled up slightly, exposing herlower back. Dong Xuebing's eyes were glued to her back. Maybe he was imaginingsomething naughty and suddenly had the urge to pee. He looked at the bottle ofdrip hang above him. There were at least half a bottle more. It will last atleast half an hour more. He tried to control the urge, but could not stand itanymore. He endured the pain in his shoulders and legs and slowly got off thebed 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." Hereached out to grab the drip.
"Stop moving. You are not allowed to move." Qu Yunxuanhurriedly washed her hands. "The drip is attached to your moveable hand. Youcannot 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 notallowed 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 herand pressed the drip's valve, stopping the drip. He carried the bottle andlimped towards the toilet.
Qu Yunxuan was stunned and her hand, holding the banana,froze in mid-air.
With the previous experience, Dong Xuebing was moreconfident this time. "I have never met anyone as virtuous as you. I had fallenin love with you the first time we met. Aunt Xuan, I know I am not good enoughfor you. But I really hope you will give me a chance."
Qu Yunxuan blushed and placed the banana on the table. "It is too sudden. I... I am not prepared at all."
Dong Xuebing was overjoyed. Aunt Xuan did not say that hewas not her type this time. Hahaha. Seems like becoming clean and tidy works.This was one more step to success. "I know it is sudden. But I really like you.Can you be my girlfriend?"
Qu Yunxuan kept quiet.
"Can?"
After a while, she sighed. "I'm sorry Xiao Bing. I have nointentions of dating now."
Although Dong Xuebing knew that he will be rejected, but hecan't help feeling disappointed. "Why? Am I not good looking enough? Is it mycharacter or something else?"
Qu Yunxuan shook her head and looked out of the windows. "Thereis nothing wrong with you. It's my problem. You are a good person." She pausedfor a second. "Do you remember what I said to you on the day you fetch me fromwork? I still have dreams of setting up my own company. I had been working hardfor years for this dream. I do not want to be distracted by being in arelationship.
Dong Xuebing asked: "Setting up your company? You shouldneed at least 1 million RMB as capital? Is your salary at the newspaper agencyenough?"
Qu Yunxuan kept quiet.
Dong Xuebing continued: "You will not date if you did notaccomplish your dream?"
Qu Yunxuan nodded. "That's what I decided. Sorry."
"Then after you have your own company will you be mygirlfriend?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Qu Yunxuan's face turns red and got up. "I will ask thedoctor about your condition."
Damn!
Was this a success?
