Chapter 57:Jiang Qi's hospitalization
Jiang Qi woke up due to the urgent calling of urinating. He looked out of the window and saw the day already turned black. Looks like the day had become night time.
Jiang Qi moved slowly as Ke Yan was sleeping next to his bed. He set aside the quilt and sat on the bed gently. Because his right hand was fixed with the needle, Jiang Qi took the hanging bottle with his left hand and planning to hold it to the toilet.
“ Pang….” When he was trying to take the bottle, he accidentally hit something and the sound resounded on the quiet room.
Jiang Qi was trying so hard to keep it quite so that he would not wake Ke Yan up.
“ Where are you going?”
He heard Ke Yan’s voice asking from his back. Looks like he was awakened by his ruckus. “ I’m going to the toilet.”
Ke Yan took over Jiang Qi's bottle and said, " Why don't you call me."
" I saw you sleeping and I don’t want to wake you up. Go back to sleep."
“ Originally I’m just taking a nap, because I still need to supervise your hanging bottle. So, if you have something just call me up, okay.”
" En." When Jiang Qi heard Ke Yan was helping him watching the hanging bottle, he felt guilty. Ke Yan will have to go to the class tomorrow. So, staying with him must be very tiring.
Jiang Qi’s face was down and he felt somehow depressed but when he wanted to look up at Ke Yan, he was fixed at that place by him.
“ Silly, don’t think too much. Quickly go the bathroom and went back to sleep, okay.”
“ En…...”
Jiang Qi’s mouth couldn’t help but to curve upwards. Don’t ask him why, but sometimes Ke Yan really makes him feel inexplicable that it turned him silly.
The light was turned on and the door was shut. The toilet in the hospital is very small and with two big men together, the space was even smaller and it limits people’s movement.
Ke Yan use one hand to hold the bottle while his other hand was helping him to untie his pants.
Jiang Qi was a little bit shy. So, when Ke Yan was untying his outer pants, he was a bit nervous but did not stop him.
Without Jiang Qi’s resistance, Ke Yan naturally help him to pulled down his pants as well as his underwear. When little Jiang Qi was finally free, Ke Yan was going for it but he was turned away by Jiang Qi. “ It’s alright, I’ll take it from here."
Ke Yan raised his eyebrows and ignored Jiang Qi’s refusal. He hold little Jiang Qi and hasten him, “ Hurry up!”
Pitiful little Jiang Qi was being held by Ke Yan refused to cooperate and urinate. And his body trembled a little but not because he was afraid, it just automatically did.
When Ke Yan saw Jiang Qi acting like that, he pinched the pitiful little Jiang Qi mercilessly. Jiang Qi was shocked by Ke Yan’s action and immediately harden his little shy heart. Anyway, it’s not like Ke Yan had never seen it. There’s nothing to be shy about it, right!
When Jiang Qi was lying back on the bed, there was still some red color painted on his face. Ke Yan helped him with the quilt. Jiang Qi looked at Ke Yan’s makeshift bed with a thin quilt, and immediately felt distressed. “ Ke Yan, let's sleep together, okay."
" Good." Ke Yan also laid down on the bed with Jiang Qi and pulled him into his embrace. Two men lying on a small bed actually felt rather crowded, but Jiang Qi feels together with Ke Yan was full of warmth.
Inside Ke Yan’s embrace, Jiang Qi was unable to falls asleep. He had been sleeping for too long before and now it seems his eyes was too stubborn to close.
Ke Yan caress Jiang Qi’s head and then he kissed his forehead. When Ke Yan wanted to kiss Jiang Qi’s lips, it was blocked by his hand. “ I have a cold.”
" It’s alright." Ke Yan pulled Jiang Qi’s hand aside and kissed his lips.
Jiang Qi was kissed by Ke Yan until his whole body soften but he still remember he was having a cold. So he quickly pushed Ke Yan away, afraid his illness will be contagious to him.
Was pushed away by Jiang Qi, Ke Yan helplessly hugged him to sleep.

" I don't want to eat."
" Come on be good and just take a little bite, okay."
" No, I don’t want. It tasted awful."
The day was still early but Jiang Qi was awakened by his noisy neighbour and her boyfriend. He looked at them and saw the woman was giving her boyfriend a temper.
Then the man failed to reason with her and went out once again to buy other delicious food.
Then the woman realized Jiang Qi already woke up and greeted him. " Hi, you have awakened! I still haven't asked you, your name."
" My name is Jiang Qi."
" Oh, my name is Bao Ruo Ruo."
" Oh, yeah! Do you see the guy who has always been with me?"
" That handsome guy ah. He seems to go out to buy you a breakfast."
" En."
Jiang Qi concentrated his gaze on the door but Ke Yan still had not returned.
Not long after, Ke Yan came back. He did not bring back porridge, instead in his hand were corns. Jiang Qi’s eyes brightened because he likes to eat corn. Originally he had no appetite but after he saw the corn, he suddenly feels really hungry and he really wanted to eat the corn to satisfy his hunger.
Ke Yan wrapped the corn below with plastic so that it was easier for Jiang Qi to hold it. Jiang Qi took the corn from Ke Yan and started to eat after he took a whiff of the mouthwatering flavor.
The sweet and fragrant corn was truly delicious, and Jiang Qi was satisfied after he ate one and a half pieces of the corns.
After he ate his fill, he gave the leftover half of the corn to Ke Yan, and let him finish it off for him.
Your relationship is very good ah.
Jiang Qi turned his head and looked at Bao Ruo Ruo. Before he can reply, Bao Ruo Ruo continue to speak " Am I wrong? He ate your leftover and if I don’t know you’re a man, I would have think that both of you as a couple. It’s a shame that both of you are men though.”
Jiang Qi just smile as he listened to her. They are clearly a couple, even though they are both male.
_________
" Xiao Ruo, I’m back." Bao Ruo Ruo’s boyfriend bought a big bag of delicious food into the ward. Bao Ruo Ruo looked inside the bag and finally satisfied with the purchase. Then she asked her boyfriend to put everything on the table.
Jiang Qi observed them and sighed. Today’s women are superior, they demanded to be treated just like a young missy. Fortunately he did not prefer a woman, or he had to serve them instead. Anyway, he still loves being taken care by Ke Yan the most.
“ Ke Yan, I want to go to the toilet.” Jiang Qi grasped on Ke Yan’s clothes.
" En." Ke Yan picked up Jiang Qi's bottle.
On the way to the toilet, Jiang Qi felt a set of eyes watching them from behind his back. He knew that person was Bao Ruo Ruo. Jiang Qi didn’t like her but he also didn’t hate her. In short, because they are not familiar with each other, so there’s no basis whether he should like or hate her.
After they went out of the toilet, Ke Yan let Jiang Qi watch the TV. Then, he was leaving and Jiang Qi had to ask, “ Where are you going?”
" I had something to be taken care of."
" Well, be careful on the road."
" En." Ke Yan left after he finished speaking.
Jiang Qi was a little lost after Ke Yan had gone, but Bao Ruo Ruo broken that emotion with her constant chatter. Jiang Qi took a pillow and put it behind him, to make himself feel more comfortable on the bed.
“ My cousin will come to visit in a while. Will Ke Yan comes back soon?”
" It should be. Why are you looking for him?"
" It’s nothing, I just wants to introduce my cousin to him."
Jiang Qi’s alarm bell rang, and he look at Bao Ruo Ruo with caution. “He has a girlfriend.”
" I’m not saying that I would introduce my cousin to him as a girlfriend."
As he was refuted by Bao Ruo Ruo, Jiang Qi felt he was overly cautious and had became utterly suspicious towards everything.
“ But maybe after he saw my cousin, he would feel that his girlfriend is not that good. Well, as long as Ke Yan has not married, there’s always a chance left for anybody, right.”
“ Sure enough! It’s not that he was overly cautious, it was this woman who had this meaning from the start. It can’t be. He must destroy this woman’s idea from her mind.
" You still don't know? Oh, yeah, I haven't told you yet..."
" What is it?" Bao Ruo Ruo was interested in Jiang Qi’s mysterious words.
" What is it? Of course about the fact that Ke Yan doesn't like women."
" Ah?" Bao Ruo Ruo apparently never think that Jiang Qi would say Ke Yan did not like women. " Then, what about before when you said that he has a girlfriend?"
" It’s true I told you like that." Jiang Qi nodded. " But at that time I was not familiar with you, right?"
" Is it?" Bao Ruo Ruo looked at Jiang Qi with doubt.
Jiang Qi with a solemn expression nodded seriously.
Originally Bao Ruo Ruo was still doubtful, but looking at Jiang Qi’s face she finally believe on what he said.
Suddenly the ward fell into silence. Even Bao Ruo Ruo’s boyfriend sitting by her side pretended as though he had heard nothing.
“ Hmm, then that girl, um, I mean his boyfriend… do you know who is he?”
“ Of course. He had been together with him everyday,”
“ Every day?” Bao Ruo Ruo was sure that from yesterday until today, she only saw Jiang Qi and Ke Yan together. There’s no other person. Suddenly a thought flashed through her mind, but it was too quick that she failed to catch up with it.
But very quickly Jiang Qi solved the doubts that plagued her mind.
“ In fact, his boyfriend is me!”
Bao Ruo Ruo looked at Jiang Qi with incredible expression and Jiang Qi looking at her being surprised, wondering what she had inside her mind.
The atmosphere turned awkward but Jiang Qi didn’t care. He occasionally turned his gaze towards the door while watching the TV, waiting for Ke Yan to come back.
When Ke Yan came back, he bring back a lot of food. All the food he bought were Jiang Qi’s favourite and everything can be eaten even in his condition. Jiang Qi was so happy with so many delicious food and immediately began to eat.
When Ke Yan was watching Jiang Qi to eat, he felt like someone was looking at him. Turning his head aside, he saw that Bao Ruo Ruo woman was looking at him. After he caught her peeking, she immediately avoided his gaze and turned her back against them.
Ke Yan looked at her strangely, but soon he quickly ignored it.
On her sick bed, Bao Ruo Ruo’s whole opinion on Jiang Qi had become from bad to worse. She feels Jiang Qi was utterly shameless. Obviously both of them are male...
What can two men create? Bao Ruo Ruo frankly don’t know. She just think that Jiang Qi shouldn’t be flaunting their relationship on her face so openly like right now. They are obviously two big men ah.
Hence, during the rest of his stay in the hospital, Jiang Qi no longer had any conversation with Bao Ruo Ruo.
After three days of being hospitalized, Jiang Qi was finally discharged from the hospital. He happily took Ke Yan’s hand and left.
At the same time, Jiang Qi and Ke Yan, who have been together for several years, are coming out of the hospital as well.
" I have not hanged the bottles for many years." At the hospital entrance, Jiang Qi and Ke Yan held hands walking away.
“ You still had guts to speak!”
“ Ke Yan, I want to eat seafood.”
“ No!”
“ Why?”
“ Because you’re sick.”
“……”
Perhaps it was one of the reason Jiang Qi don’t want to tell Ke Yan when he is sick. Because he is different from other people. Normally people who is sick won’t have any appetite left to eat. Whereas him on the other hand, will want to eat a lot of delicious food instead.
