Best Delinquent Wife's Order: Rise Again, Hubby

Chapter 984: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-She’s Kissing Him (69)

Xu Chengfeng was silent because of Zuo Yue’s persistent question. Zuo Yue’s hand grabbed his sleeve tightly.”Uncle…”

“There is no danger.” He finally answered, but it sounded more like a compromise to her.

Only then did Zuo Yue relax. Seeing that he did not look like he was lying to her, she continued to eat her porridge obediently.

After she was full, the nurse came in and removed the cutlery on the dining table. Zuo Yue leaned on the bed and saw that Xu Chengfeng had been staying here for the past few days to take care of her.

He looked so good even when he was so slovenly. Moreover, he had no time to tidy himself up because he was here to take care of her.

Zuo Yue saw that he was reading documents and did not disturb him.

However, even though the two of them were sitting quietly in the same ward, she still felt exceptionally at ease. It was as if her entire heart was at ease.

The sky gradually darkened. The nurse came in to give Zuo Yue an injection and medicine. After being fed dinner by Xu Chengfeng, Zuo Yue did not feel sleepy. She just leaned on the bed and stole glances at him from time to time.

Whether Xu Chengfeng was reading documents, looking at the computer, or talking on the phone, his serious side profile made her want to take a photo with her phone.

However, her phone was not by her side, and she remembered what he had said when she took his photo last time, so she had no choice but to do it.

As she read, Zuo Yue closed her eyes, but she did not sleep very well.

She seemed to have heard something in her half-asleep state. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that Xu Chengfeng, who was originally on the sofa, had disappeared.

She subconsciously turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound. There was water coming from the bathroom in another cubicle of the ward. After about ten minutes, the sound of water stopped.

When Xu Chengfeng walked out of the bathroom, Zuo Yue suddenly felt a little disappointed.

He had only come out after putting on his clothes. He did not get any advantage at all.

However, Xu Chengfeng had obviously taken care of himself in the shower. The green stubble around his chin had disappeared, and he had returned to the clean and comfortable Xu Chengfeng, but he lacked a bit of humanity.

“Aren’t you asleep?” Xu Chengfeng walked out and saw Zuo Yue leaning on the bed with her eyes open. He asked casually.

“I didn’t sleep well to begin with. I thought you had left, so I suddenly woke up.”As Zuo Yue spoke, she looked at his slightly wet hair and smiled.””That… Uncle, I’m a little embarrassed that you’re taking care of me. After I recover, I’ll treat you to a movie, okay?”

“What movie? Didn’t I say that I’ll be leaving for a while after you’re discharged?”

“But you can’t leave on the first day I’m discharged, right? Watching a movie only took a few hours.”Zuo Yue said excitedly,””I’ve never watched a movie with anyone before. I don’t know how the cinemas in Boston are like.”

Xu Chengfeng’s eyes showed a hint of refusal. Zuo Yue quickly said before he could refuse,””Then, it’s a deal. On the first day after I’m discharged, you’ll accompany me to the movies. I’ll use my phone to book tickets in a few days.”

Xu Chengfeng’s cold gaze landed on her face.””Zuo Yue, I have no time.”

However, Zuo Yue did not look at his eyes. Since he was already so willful, she lowered her eyes as if she did not hear him and continued,””Uncle, do you like romance movies or science fiction movies? Or maybe a cartoon from disney. I can watch whatever you like with you.”

However, Xu Chengfeng was expressionless as he slowly buttoned up his sleeves. He said calmly,” You don’t have to buy tickets, you don’t have to go.”

Zuo Yue suddenly looked up at him.

Xu Chengfeng did not look at her, but the coldness and distance hidden in his lowered eyes could be seen.”Zuo Yue, there should be a limit to your willfulness. Don’t force me to really abandon you. Once I leave you, I guarantee that you will never see me again in this lifetime.”

Zuo Yue’s eyes trembled, and her hands slowly gripped the blanket tightly. After a long time, she said,””It’s just a movie…Can’t I?”

“No.”

*****

Late at night, Zuo Yue was gasping for breath in the midst of her nightmares. It was as if something had gradually come to her in the chaos. There was blood. Whose blood was it?

It was as if her throat was being strangled, and she could not breathe. Her hands were tightly clutching the blanket, and cold sweat kept falling. The sound of her panting was still obvious in the dark ward.

Xu Chengfeng returned to the hospital after an impromptu meeting at the technology company. He pushed the door open and entered the ward.

Before he turned on the lights, he heard Zuo Yue’s voice in the dark. He casually turned on the lights and saw Zuo Yue lying on the ground with the blanket. She was curled up into a ball and was trembling with sweat.

Xu Chengfeng walked over quickly and bent down to pick her up. Zuo Yue’s hand climbed up his neck and her sweaty body snuggled into his embrace. She hugged his neck tightly and refused to let go.

“Zuo Yue.” If he had not confirmed that she was having a nightmare, Xu Chengfeng would have thrown her back onto the hospital bed.

However, just as he was about to carry her up, Zuo Yue trembled in his arms and sobbed,””Don’t die…Don’t die…Uncle…Don’t die…”

Xu Chengfeng’s entire body trembled. He lowered his head and looked at Zuo Yue, who was burying her face in his neck. Tears were still flowing down her face in her sleep. Her tears wet his neck and stained the collar of his shirt. Xu Chengfeng, however, held the little girl who was crying in her sleep stiffly. For some reason, something in his heart seemed to tremble.

“Uncle…Don’t… You don’t want…” In her dream, Zuo Yue saw Xu Chengfeng walking towards her covered in blood. Then, he fell in front of her. She rushed forward to grab onto nothing. She was so scared that she cried out,””Uncle…Don’t die…

Don’t die…”

The ground was too cold, so Xu Chengfeng finally stood up with her in his arms. Zuo Yue was finally awakened from her nightmare the moment she was picked up. She opened her red eyes and looked at the man who was hugging her with a dark expression. She looked at his well-defined side profile and his handsome jaw that was almost supporting him.

“Uncle…” When Zuo Yue called out to him, her voice sounded as if she was still in a dream and was not fully awake.

“Yes.” ” You had a nightmare,” Xu Chengfeng replied calmly.” But what kind of habit is it to fall off the bed when you’re asleep?”

As Xu Chengfeng spoke, he was about to put her back on the bed when Zuo Yue suddenly raised her head and kissed him on the chin. Xu Chengfeng froze, but Zuo Yue’s face was red as she instinctively hugged his neck tightly, afraid that he would throw her out.
