Chapter 934: Here to Accompany a Patient or Here for a Vacation?

A night without dreams.

Sleeping until the sun was high, Cai Xiaotang finally opened her eyes in a daze.

The first thing that met her eyes was a snow-white ceiling.

Immediately following that, she felt the still-warm sensation in her palm.

She was stunned for a moment, and the memories of falling asleep last night instantly flooded back.

Damn!

They didn't really sleep holding hands the whole night, did they!

Even though they had done even more embarrassing things, for some reason, her heartbeat woke up in an instant and then began to pound uncontrollably.

Cai Xiaotang subconsciously moved her fingers, wanting to pull her hand out.

But just as she moved—"Thinking of slipping away as soon as you wake up? I'm too pitiful..."

A certain someone's teasing voice sounded above her head.

Cai Xiaotang paused upon hearing this, hesitated for two seconds, and then let go of his hand, only to see that Li Xiao had already woken up at some point and was leaning against the bedside, looking at her with a smile.

"Cough..."

Cai Xiaotang gave a light cough and hurriedly took the initiative to find a topic: "You...

how long have you been awake?"

"Not long."

Li Xiao spat out the two words lightly.

Cai Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear him add: "Just under two hours..."

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

Teasing her again, right!

Forget it, too lazy to pay him any mind!

Without another word, she hurriedly flipped out of bed to wash up.

Then, as soon as she came out, she saw that Lao San had arrived in the room again at some point.

As soon as he saw her, he immediately handed over something in his hand.

"Madam, this is what Xiuluo prepared for you."

For some reason, the expression on Lao San's face was a bit "weird," as if he were holding back laughter.

"Hm? What is this..."

Cai Xiaotang muttered in a low voice and took it casually.

Then, after just one glance, her expression instantly became very colorful.

Who could have imagined that she would receive a "menu" in the morning

!

It was a real menu!

A genuine one filled with all kinds of delicious food, just like the kind you get from a restaurant!

What kind of trick is this guy Li Xiao playing again!

"This..."

Cai Xiaotang looked at the thing in her hand, her mind suddenly going blank for a moment.

Just then—"Cough..."

Li Xiao suddenly coughed, as if to remind her of something.

Lao San also hurriedly spoke up.

"Madam, it's like this: Xiuluo said that you are working very hard accompanying him here, so during this time, he must prepare more things you like to eat. You don't have to eat as blandly as he does. This menu is a compilation Xiuluo made based on several shops you like. You can just order from this menu every day, and we will deliver it on time."

"Compilation?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly flipped to the back.

Only then did she discover that the dishes on this menu were indeed "complex."

Besides normal dishes, it actually included French cuisine and Japanese-Korean food, as well as several fast-food places and snacks she usually liked!

It could be said that her tastes were understood very thoroughly.

But...

Thinking that this was, after all, a certain person's "thoughtfulness," Cai Xiaotang shook the menu in her hand at him, unable to help but ask with amusement: "Are you sure I'm here to accompany a patient? Why do I feel like I'm here on vacation...

..."

"Is there anything wrong with that? This is your exclusive menu."

Li Xiao asked back with composure, seemingly not feeling there was any problem at all.

Then, he put on a look of lament, his face full of regret.

"Anyway, I can't eat anything during this time. Doesn't this give you a ready-made opportunity to take revenge on me? You can eat whatever you want, while I can only watch..."

He deliberately put on an extremely aggrieved tone, as if watching his diet for these few days was a huge torture for him.

"Pfft..."

Cai Xiaotang was finally unable to hold back and was amused by him. She glanced at the "menu" in her hand a few more times and finally did not decline his good intentions again.

Li Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief.

With injuries on his body, this was the only way he could try to make his wife happy.

Once his injuries healed, he would slowly figure out other surprises.

In the afternoon—Cai Xiaotang had originally thought the morning's menu was enough.

But she didn't expect Li Xiao to have someone fetch her laptop and tablet from home, under the pretext of being afraid she would be too bored just playing on her phone.

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

Fine.

Now, even if Li Xiao were to renovate this entire hospital room, she wouldn't be surprised!

Another week passed.

Li Xiao's injuries were also gradually improving.

His recovery ability was astonishing; the wound on his shoulder had basically healed, and he could have the stitches removed after waiting a little longer.

Although the wound on his waist had not yet healed, it had perfectly passed the danger period; there was neither fever nor infection, and everything was developing in a positive direction.

Except for...

Cai Xiaotang, whose mood grew more anxious with each passing day.

In the morning, the Doctor came for rounds as usual.

After checking Li Xiao's wounds, the Doctor nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.

"Mr. Li's wounds are recovering well. In a few days, once the stitches on the shoulder wound are removed, you can go home to recuperate and wait for the waist wound to recover."

"Thank you."

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly expressed her thanks, but the smile on her face appeared somewhat forced.

Li Xiao's wounds had recovered...

Then, should she also...

As Cai Xiaotang was thinking, she suddenly heard a "click" sound at the door.

Only then did she notice that she had suddenly started daydreaming again, and the Doctor had already left.

"What are you thinking about? Haven't you slept enough?"

Li Xiao keenly noticed her state and hurriedly asked.

"No..."

Cai Xiaotang shook her head, suddenly meeting Li Xiao's gaze, and felt a bit guilty; her heart also suddenly felt a fine, dense pain.

How should she tell him...

Should she bring up the divorce directly?

It seemed... she couldn't bring herself to say it.

But during this time, Li Xiao had been trying almost every way to please her.

She was not a block of wood; naturally, she could feel it.

Yet the more she felt his kindness, the more she feared losing it.

In the last few days, the number of times she had nightmares had indeed decreased significantly.

But they had not stopped entirely.

Every time in her dreams, she would return to that dim basement.

And the person lying on the ground would turn into Li Xiao.

She would rather die than see such a scene.

Therefore...

It would be better to separate.

Being friends in the future wouldn't be bad either.

Aren't there many people in this world who break up peacefully?

Perhaps they could too...

"Why are you daydreaming again?"

Li Xiao's voice suddenly sounded in her ear, giving Cai Xiaotang a real fright.

She instantly snapped back to reality, only to discover that Li Xiao had leaned in close to her face at some point.

The distance between the two was extremely close; it seemed as if even their breaths were intertwined.

Cai Xiaotang's pupils shrank, her gaze uncontrollably sweeping downward to land on those two well-shaped thin lips, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Li Xiao hadn't done anything "excessive" during this time.

Was he afraid of making her angry?

If she were to say... that she wanted one last time right now...

Cai Xiaotang thought this, but hesitated to act, her palms unable to stop clenching tighter and tighter.

Immediately after, she saw the corners of Li Xiao's mouth, which were always slightly upturned, curl up bit by bit.

His deliberately lowered voice then sounded—"Cai Xiaotang, are you... wanting to kiss me?"
