Uh... She's cooking for me? Why does this sentence sound so ambiguous? Bai Ran thought to herself.
Chen Chen looked up and saw Bai Ran. There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes as he said, "There was a man looking for you. You heard him just now, right? Find him later."
"Okay," Bai Ran replied silently, not daring to think too much about it.
"Aren't you going to take a look at the pot?" Chen Chen's voice was heard again.
"Ah, right." Bai Ran jogged back to the kitchen. "Fortunately, you reminded me. It almost overflowed."
Bai Ran scooped a small bowl and walked to Chen Chen. Suddenly, she did not know what to say. How was he going to eat by himself in his weak state? Or was she going to feed him? But wouldn't that be too ambiguous?
Bai Ran was holding a spoon and staring into space. However, Chen Chen opened his eyes and ordered, "Feed me."
"That's not good. If Sister Wan finds out, what will she think? Besides, we've already signed a divorce agreement. We shouldn't be doing such an intimate thing." Bai Ran was a little hesitant.
"Who said so? I didn't sign it," Chen Chen said angrily.
"Yes, why didn't you sign it? I'm still waiting to go through the procedures with you!" Bai Ran said as she placed the spoon back into the porridge.
"Do you think you can get this done just because I signed it?" Chen Chen smirked.
"What do you mean?" Bai Ran was puzzled.
"Think about it yourself." Chen Chen did not answer.
"Huh?" Bai Ran tilted her head in thought, not understanding what this meant.
"So you're just going to watch me starve to death now?" Chen Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Ran.
"I..." Although Bai Ran was still hesitating, she still sat down obediently.
"Be careful. I just filled it up, it's a little hot." Bai Ran scooped a small mouthful and placed it by her mouth to blow at it gently.
Chen Chen looked at Bai Ran and suddenly felt that this kind of life seemed pretty good.
Bai Ran brought the spoon to Chen Chen's mouth and fed him slowly. Chen Chen enjoyed it happily. No one noticed that the smile in his eyes never disappeared.
After eating, Bai Ran found a wet towel and put it on him. She also found a blanket and covered him with it, waiting to observe the situation. If his fever still did not go down after a few hours, she had to go to the hospital with him.
As time passed, the two of them remained silent. Bai Ran felt that it was good even if she had to look at him like this for the rest of her life.
Unfortunately, a ringtone broke the silence.
Bai Ran glanced at it. It was Chen Chen's phone. The caller on it was Hu Wan.
Bai Ran smiled bitterly. Reality was still reality.
The warmth from before was just an illusion.
Chen Chen had also been woken up by the call. He woke up in a daze. When he saw that it was Hu Wan on the phone Bai Ran handed him, he immediately sat up. He did not look weak at all and did not even care that the wet towel on his head had dropped.
Bai Ran picked up the wet towel silently, feeling even more upset. As long as Hu Wan appeared, he really could not care less about anything else.
Hu Wan's voice came from the other end of the line. She whined and pestered Chen Chen to look for her. She kept saying that she was not feeling well here, that she could not sleep well, and so on. She was no longer as gentle and generous as she was when she was with Bai Ran that day.
The current her was more like a pretentious little girl.
But she's a patient. She has a reason to be like this, Bai Ran thought silently.
After Chen Chen hung up, Bai Ran said sensibly, "Go quickly. Don't make Sister Wan wait too long."
"What about you?" Chen Chen was in a difficult position.
"Me?" Bai Ran was a little surprised. He was actually considering her.
"I'll leave after I get my things," Bai Ran replied. "Go to the hospital and take a look at yourself."
As Bai Ran spoke, she wanted to touch Chen Chen's forehead. Unexpectedly, Chen Chen did not stop her this time and let her touch him.
Fortunately, his fever had almost subsided. Bai Ran heaved a sigh of relief.
Chen Chen packed up and went to the hospital. After comforting Hu Wan, he went to look for Ye Lin.
When Ye Lin saw him, he teased, "Why didn't you stay in the hospital? Did your Sister Hu Wan chase you out?"
"She fell asleep, so I came back," Chen Chen explained coldly.
"Then sleep with her." Ye Lin was getting more and more enthusiastic.
"She's in the hospital, brother!" Chen Chen rolled his eyes at Ye Lin.
"Isn't that good? Let's have a hospital bed party," Ye Lin continued to tease.
"Go to hell. Don't say such ridiculous things. Is this how you joke around with a patient?" Chen Chen turned around, his gaze already turning cold.
"I'm not joking. Besides on a hospital bed, it's not like you haven't done it somewhere else. Why are you being so serious?"
"Not anywhere else," Chen Chen said calmly.
"What do you mean? You mean you've never..." Ye Lin seemed to have heard something incredible.
