Chapter 683: A Piece of Candy
"Um……"
Mu Xiaoyu gave a weak "hmm," and upon seeing this, Li Chenxu got up and said something to the doctor. After that, the doctors who had been standing by the bed left. Li Chenxu then went to get her some water.
Lin Zhuxing probably hasn't returned from buying breakfast yet, so Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu have to do everything themselves now.
It was at this moment that Mu Xiaoyu noticed that Li Chenxu still had an IV drip in his hand. When she got water for him, she was holding a portable IV pole.
No matter how you look at it, it's extremely inconvenient to move around.
Thinking that Li Chenxu's severe cold was partly her fault, Mu Xiaoyu still felt a little guilty. Seeing Li Chenxu like this, her guilt resurfaced.
When Li Chenxu handed her the water, she quickly said, "Go to bed and rest. I just have a minor cold, it's nothing."
"It's okay, I'm much better now."
When the two spoke, their voices were both equally husky. Mu Xiaoyu subconsciously looked into Li Chenxu's eyes, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Alright, I'm fine here. You should go to bed and rest. If you wake up again, it won't just be you who suffers."
"But……"
"You won't even listen to me now?"
Mu Xiaoyu glared at him, and Li Chenxu immediately swallowed back the words he was about to say. At this moment, Li Chenxu had no choice but to listen to what Mu Xiaoyu said.
A little while later, Assistant Lin returned with breakfast.
He didn't know what Mu Xiaoyu liked to eat the most, so he bought a lot of breakfast, including a variety of kinds.
Normally, Mu Xiaoyu would definitely have an appetite. But now that she has a cold, she doesn't have much of an appetite.
I even felt nauseous when I smelled one or two of the breakfast dishes.
"Miss Mu, what would you like to eat? Or should I make you a little of everything?"
"Give me a bowl of porridge and I'll wake up; take the rest further away."
Mu Xiaoyu covered her nose, suppressing her churning stomach. She suspected that if she stayed in this ward any longer, she might really throw up.
Her face looked terrible, and Lin Zhu, not knowing why, thought he had done something wrong again and angered Mu Xiaoyu. Just as he was feeling frustrated, he saw Li Chenxu come back and put a yellow candy into Mu Xiaoyu's mouth.
"If you feel nauseous, eat a piece of candy; it will make you feel better."
Li Chenxu fed Mu Xiaoyu a lemon-flavored candy. The sour taste immediately suppressed Mu Xiaoyu's nausea, and she felt much better in an instant.
"Take away all that greasy stuff, and then open the window to let in some fresh air."
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu's expression had softened slightly, Li Chenxu turned to Lin Zhu and spoke.
Only then did Lin Zhu realize that Mu Xiaoyu's pale face wasn't because of him, but for another reason. He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately followed Li Chenxu's instructions, leaving behind the light breakfast, throwing away the rest, and opening the window.
After doing all this, he cautiously looked at Mu Xiaoyu and asked, "Miss Mu, are you feeling better now?"
"Much better, thank you."
Upon hearing this, Assistant Lin immediately let out a long sigh of relief. Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu had nothing else to say, he left.
How did you know I was about to throw up?
After Lin Zhuren left, Mu Xiaoyu awkwardly sniffed Li Chenxu. She felt she had concealed it very well, but how did Li Chenxu still find out?
Moreover, recalling the way Li Chenxu fed her candy back then, she felt an indescribable mix of emotions.
She couldn't help but steal a glance at Li Chenxu, only to find that he was looking at her too.
Their eyes met in that instant.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's furtive glances at him, he couldn't help but laugh.
"You've been in this situation before, haven't you forgotten? That's why I usually carry a few candies with me, just in case."
These words, which Mu Xiaoyu used to find incredibly sweet, now seem to bring her only bitterness, no matter how sweet they are.
She didn't speak, remaining silent as if deep in thought.
Seeing that she showed no signs of happiness, Li Chenxu also fell silent.
"Li Chenxu, let's talk after dinner."
"Okay, then you eat first."
As Li Chenxu spoke, he also ate with Mu Xiaoyu at the small table next to him.
Because Mu Xiaoyu had just felt nauseous, all that was left was some bland food. However, she preferred stronger flavors, so she couldn't eat anything too bland.
Seeing that she was eating with some difficulty, Li Chenxu went outside. A few minutes later, he was seen holding a bag of the most ordinary pickled vegetables that could be found in the market.
Mu Xiaoyu had been poor before, and when she didn't have any living expenses, she usually ate white rice with pickled vegetables.
It looks ordinary, but it's actually very delicious.
When Mu Xiaoyu saw Li Chenxu coming over with a bag of pickled vegetables, her eyes lit up.
"It tastes better when eaten with this pickled mustard greens."
"Well, thank you."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't show it, still feigning composure. After all, the conversation was going to be very serious, and she needed to project an air of authority. If she gave in just because of a bag of pickled vegetables, she would be incredibly unprincipled.
She, Mu Xiaoyu, is not that kind of person at all!
Thanks to the pickled mustard greens, Mu Xiaoyu ate with great relish and quickly finished her bowl of porridge.
She didn't eat too much, but it was just enough.
Li Chenxu had finished eating by now. He put away the lunch boxes that the two of them had eaten from, and after he had finished everything, he sat down next to Mu Xiaoyu.
"What...what do you want to say to me after I take my medicine in a little while?"
Finally, it arrived. Mu Xiaoyu involuntarily straightened her back, her gaze unwavering as she stared directly into Li Chenxu's eyes.
"Li Chenxu, you should have received the message I sent you yesterday, right? Did you investigate Xu Sulin's pregnancy? Is it true or false?"
"is fake."
Li Chenxu answered without hesitation that after receiving Mu Xiaoyu's text message yesterday, he immediately had someone investigate.
Xu Sulin did go to the hospital, and the examination report she received at the time did indeed show that she was three months pregnant. However, this examination report was forged.
Li Chenxu had suspected that the affair between Xu Sulin and Xu Sulin was fake, but he had the photos checked countless times and found no signs of forgery. This had even made him a little hesitant.
However, Xu Sulin's fabrication of her pregnancy completely shattered any remaining doubts she had.
If the two of them had actually had a relationship, Xu Sulin wouldn't have needed to go to this extent.
