Chapter 45 – Dad’s love, take it.

Before the dinner was delivered, Song Yunran was hoping for the best.

No matter what, Qin Ke is at least a grown man with a sound mind. He shouldn’t be able to do the thing of having someone feed him, most likely he was just joking with him.

However, it turns out that Qin Ke was not joking.

The bodyguards outside the ward today were hired by the Song family, each one of them unsmiling, and brought in the dinner as if they didn’t see the prince’s eyes for help. They put down the lunch box and went to stand guard outside, not even knowing to take the initiative to ask if they needed to let the nurses in to help.

Song Yunran, with a stiff face, unpacked the boxes one by one, and the tantalizing aroma of food instantly came to him.

He was also hungry at the moment, staring at the exquisite dishes he swallowed his throat. He also looked at Qin Ke lying on the bed: “I don’t really have to feed you, right? I haven’t even eaten myself yet.”

Qin Ke was considerate: “You eat first, I’m not in a hurry.”

“……”

Song Yunran stiffened for a few seconds, regretting that he shouldn’t have asked Qin Ke to come when he was hospitalized last time. If he hadn’t tried to torment Qin Ke at that time, he wouldn’t have ended up like this today.

It’s just a matter of feeding.

Song Yunran persuaded himself, Qin Ke’s wish is so simple and innocent. He as your life saver just wants to eat a meal, is this request very excessive?

Not at all.

Song Yunran did a good job of psychological construction. After raising the hospital bed, he picked up chopsticks and picked up a piece of snowflake beef covered with sauce and used the bowl to catch it to feed it to Qin Ke’s mouth, he had never done this kind of work before, and the first chopsticks poked Qin Ke’s lower lip. The other party gave him a salty look before he was able to silently find the right place.

“Is it good?” Song Yunran asked bashfully.

Qin Ke was disabled and remained civilized even after being fed. He swallowed it and then replied, “Not bad.”

I’m sure it’s good, this is my favorite restaurant.

Song Yunran while absentmindedly feeding Qin Ke, his eyes fell on the steaming dishes. He felt like a small slave who was sold to the Qin family in the old society, and had to look greedily at his master eating and drinking spicy food, but also had to serve him in a disciplined manner.

He couldn’t help but angrily scold Chu Xiao Chen a few more times in his heart, and then he heard his stomach growl indisputably.

“Ah.”

Song Yunran’s hands moved with a start and he pursed his lips in embarrassment.

Qin Ke finally showed mercy: “You’d better eat first.”

He stretched out his left hand and took a tissue to wipe the soup stained on his lips, “If you keep feeding, I’m afraid you’ll poke me to death with chopsticks.”

Song Yunran: “……?”

It’s hard to accept that for the first time in his life, he received a one-star review from a customer on the spot.

The damn desire to win and conquer at this moment filled Song Yunran’s chest.

In an instant, the back that had been faintly aching seemed to heal immediately, prompting him to stand up agilely and glare at the other party from a condescending angle: “It’s not up to you.”

Qin Ke: “……you sit down.”

“I’m not.”

Song Yunran quickly chucked a few dishes, then pinned the bowl piled into a small mountain in front of Qin Ke, “Come on, dad’s love, take it.”

Qin Ke smiled and turned his face sideways, “Xiao Song, you calm down a little.”

“Don’t learn the tone of Assistant Tang out there!”

Song Yunran is now excited, as if from the small matter of feeding, he experienced endless fun. He simply imitated the tone of the nanny coaxing him to eat when he was a child, “Good boy, eat a few more bites, otherwise you will not grow taller.”

Qin Ke looked at him helplessly and was about to say something when suddenly his eyebrows knitted.

He gave a very light “hiss”, his eyes swept over his right shoulder, which was wrapped with a fixed band, and it seemed that even his breathing was heavy.

Song Yunran froze, and hurriedly put down the dishes, without even thinking about it, he directly peeled open the collar of Qin Ke’s hospital gown.

Qin Ke, who had only wanted to use his acting skills to escape being fed, was stiff.

Song Yunran came too close at once, and his hair, which was messy from lying on the hospital bed before, rose up a few strands and gently rubbed against his chin, bringing a few subtle itches.

He wanted to make a sound to remind the other side to stay away, but his heart seemed to crave these few seconds of proximity, and would not let his lips make a sound.

Song Yunran was startled.

Qin Ke seemed to be in good spirits, and he didn’t have a broken bone as badly as in his previous life, so he always thought that Qin Ke’s injury was only a little more serious than the one on his back.

But when he lifted the blue and white striped hospital gown, what caught his eyes was the red and swollen bruise that spread from the shoulder to the collarbone. The piece of skin that was directly hit by the bat was covered up with gauze, but one could vaguely see the mark of the medicine and blood that had dried up at the edge of the gauze.

“F*ck.”

Song Yunran rarely let out an swear word, “Chu Xiao Chen is a crazy dog, right? He hit you so hard.”

The warm breath blew onto Qin Ke’s collarbone, making him forget about what to reply for a while.

He lowered his eyelashes, because of the angle, he could only see the high bridge of Song Yunran’s nose and the small half of his side face. The color of his eyes gradually colored with a layer of abnormality.

Qin Ke’s voice lowered: “You ……”

The three words “stay back” could not be finished, the door of the ward was knocked on three times. Then the nurse dressed in white pushed the door in: “Qin Ke, let’s take the body temperature.”

The next second, the three people in the room all coincidentally froze for a moment.

Qin Ke is clearly aware that the two of them are now in an excessively ambiguous position, and Song Yunran is aware as an afterthought that Qin Ke’s unclothed appearance is very strange. The nurse who is concerned about the patient is not happy that the patient who has just been admitted to the hospital actually dared to scurry out the door.

“You’re the patient in the next room, right?”

The nurse, a forty-year-old woman, took a few steps to the bed and looked at Song Yunran, who had hurriedly taken his hands off, and criticized, “The doctor told you to stay in bed and recuperate, so what are you doing here?”

Song Yunran touched his nose: “To eat.”

The nurse swept the table with a wide array of dishes and asked curiously, “Just eat, but how did you get on top of him?”

“……”

Song Yunran’s mood is complicated. He looked down at the nurse who was not even as high as his own shoulder and whispered, “Sister, I didn’t lie on him. It was him who said the wound hurt and I was helping to look at it.”

He unconsciously tensed up: “You quickly check, don’t let the shoulder break.”

Qin Ke cleared his throat: “……not broken, and now it does not hurt.”

The nurse looked at them both suspiciously, but still took advantage of the time to take the temperature and called the doctor on duty to check to make sure there was no problem. Only then did she turn to Song Yunran and say, “You hurry back to your room after eating, I’ll check the room in fifteen minutes, don’t get caught running around again. It’s really late, but still scurrying out to chat, don’t you want to get out of the hospital early?”

Song Yunran suspected that the nurse had a child at home who was about his age, otherwise her tone and demeanor would not have inexplicably revealed an atmosphere of ‘Can you kids grow up?’

He resentfully agreed, and after the nurse left, he hurriedly sat down to eat seriously.

At the same time, he didn’t forget to remind Qin Ke: “Dad can’t take care of you, let’s have the caregiver come over.”

“No need.”

Qin Ke finished his answer, and in front of Song Yunran, he slowly and carefully took out a plastic spoon from the bag and ate with his left hand. Not to mention his left hand is quite steady, not spilling any soup, much better than Song Yunran’s level of feeding.

This scene, made Song Yunran speechless.

He was silent for a long time, and finally only came up with a harmless complaint: “Are you deliberately teasing me?”

Qin Ke smiled and reminded, “There are still five minutes left, the nurse will come.”

Then paused for a few seconds, and slowly picked up, “Listen to your brother, eat quickly.”

Song Yunran: “……”

The next day, Song Yunran woke up, the more he thought about it, the more aggravated he was.

As a famous Xiao Song, he was not only teased by Qin Ke, but also criticized by the hospital nurses.

This is a very outrageous thing.

Song Yunran decided to solve the problem at the root, and called the bodyguard: “Go ask the hospital if there is a double room, I want to stay with Qin Ke.”

The bodyguard didn’t ask much and went out nimbly to inquire.

Ten minutes later, Song Yunran was happy to get a double ward, and under Qin Ke’s lingering eyes, he happily laid down on the new bed.

He had nothing better to do and opened his phone to check WeChat.

The news of his hospitalization has spread among his friends, and a group of friends led by He Ziyou have offered to visit him in the hospital. Song Yunran was scared by his parents’ tears yesterday, and did not want a group of people around his bedside to make him look like he was suffering from a terminal illness, so he simply turned them down one by one.

“The next time the nurse finds me, there’s no way to say I’m scurrying around the door.”

Qin Ke smiled, “Well, it’s great.”

“That’s not true.”

After Song Yunran was done fooling around, he asked again, “By the way, how did the company announce about your hospitalization? This matter can not be hidden, right?”

Qin Ke replied, “Shen Yiyi was rescued from the car trunk by the police in the downtown area, there were so many people around. It was easy to cause panic if we didn’t make it clear, so the police could only issue a case report to calm public opinion.”

Song Yunran nodded, thinking that this was indeed so.

Even if the briefing will not mention their full names, just based on the surnames of the four people involved in the case, plus other gossip, the masses will be able to smoothly make up the full picture of the facts.

There is no telling what the internet will be like.

Thinking about this, Song Yunran could not help but feel: “Shen Yiyi is so miserable ah. It’s not easy to divorce a scumbag, but still be locked into the trunk and almost die of suffocation. The last time I was hospitalized, you also saw her, right? How quiet looking, she talks softly, so gentle as a person, Chu Xiaochen can actually get her.”

Qin scrupulously recalled the picture from several months ago, only vaguely remembered Shen Yiyi was not tall, was a very petite body type, but did not expect Song Yunran would use several beautiful words to praise her.

He was silent for a while, but finally asked, “You know her well?”

It was probably because of the subtle implication in this sentence that aroused Song Yunran’s caution.

He suddenly remembered the words that Chu Xiao Chen scolded in the parking lot corridor yesterday and couldn’t help but ask in a depressed manner, “Why, you didn’t believe Chu Xiao Chen and think that there was really something between me and Shen Yiyi, did you?”

“?”

Qin Ke had almost forgotten about Chu Xiao Chen’s bullshit. He was stunned by the words before he said, “I didn’t think so.”

Song Yunran was angry when he remembered this, propped himself up on the mattress and sat up. Facing Qin Ke, he said seriously, “Listen to Dad’s analysis of the wave. This person Chu Xiao Chen has a problem, it is obvious that he cheated in marriage, after being netted out of the family he could not swallow this grievance. He wants to throw dirty water on the innocent victims like me and Shen Yi Yi, as the saying goes, ‘Even if you are dying, you have to find a cushion’.

“I know, he just wants to find an excuse for his crime.”

Qin Ke rubbed his eyebrows, raised his eyes to the puffed up little Song, “You take it easy, I just asked a casual question.”

“Not even a casual question!”

Song Yunran thought that Qin Ke had been deceived by a treacherous person yesterday, so he decided to intensify the disinformation, “Shen Yiyi and I didn’t know each other at all before, and we only met once afterwards, where would we have those messy relationships!”

The words have not yet fallen, but Qin Ke’s complexion suddenly changed, his dark eyes with an intriguing gaze, fell on Song Yunran’s face.

Song Yunran was puzzled: “Why are you looking at me like that?”

The room fell into a brief silence, for a moment, only the leaves outside the window were blowing in the wind.

Like a few rhizomes floating in the air, they climbed down the wall and finally touched the solid ground.

Song Yunran was flustered by the eerie silence and couldn’t help but ask, “Did I say something wrong?”

“…… what do you think?”

“??”

Song Yunran frowned in confusion, going through the memories to analyze the details in that big conversation he just had.

Then at a certain critical second, he suddenly stiffened his body, his lips kept a wide open O-shape, and the whole person was dumb there and didn’t move.

Qin Ke’s tone was still calm: “If I remember correctly, you said that the reason why you came forward to expose Chu Xiao Chen was because you and Shen Yiyi had negotiated in advance?”

“……”

“Then here comes the question.”

Qin Ke laughed in a low voice, but his voice carried an intensity that could not be evaded, “Xiao Song, since you and Shen Yiyi did not know each other before, how did you know the inside story of Chu Xiaochen’s cheating?”
