"I'll tell Mr. Tang that you’re awake. He's been worried about you all day. Before he left, he instructed
me to call him after you wake up." Then Venus Mu took her phone and walked out of the hospital room
to make a call.
When Venus went out, Xuan Chu struggled to get up from the bed. He wanted to put on his shoes, but
his feet were swollen and his movement was a little inflexible, so he hadn't been able to put on his
slippers.
Then he sighed and continued to put on his shoes. That was when Venus came in. She saw him get up
from the bed and hurried over, "Do you need my help?"
Chu looked up at her with a teasing look, "I need to go to the bathroom."
Venus touched her nose and she felt a little embarrassed. Then she squatted down to put the newly
bought slippers on his feet.
Xuan was startled by the way she skillfully helped him put on the shoes. No one except his mother had
ever worn shoes for him.
"Let me help you over." Venus didn't look at his face. She was just holding his arm as she pushed the
rack where the bottles were hanging.
Then they moved slowly to the bathroom. Yan looked at Venus so closely and found that she didn't look
like his sister at all, except for this face that resembled her sister.
If the real Yan was here, she definitely wouldn't stay in the hospital.
Reaching the door of the bathroom, Venus put the bracket in, and then she said, "I'll be at the door.
When you're done, just call my name."
Before Xun thanked her, she hurriedly ran out.
After waiting at the door for a while, she shouted, "Are you done?"
After hearing the sound of water flushing the toilet coming out of the bathroom, she then heard Xuan's
voice, "I'm done."
That's when Venus went in and helped him walk out.
As Xun sat on the bed, Venus bent down to take off her shoes and put them neatly under the bed and
asked him, "Do you have anything you want to eat now?"
"I don't want to eat anything. Could you get me a glass of water, please? I'm thirsty."
When Venus turned to get the water for him, he struggled to lift his legs onto the bed. He was tired and
sweaty from just moving around so much.
Venus brought the water over and handed it to him. "Shixuan Tang said he would come over after work
and asked if you had any instructions." she said.
Xuan took the water and took a few sips. "You tell him to go to the hotel and get my phone and laptop.
The phone might have fallen under the bed."
Venus looked down to edit the text message carefully, tilted her head up and asked, "What else?"
"No more, that's all." Then he frowned at her for a moment before saying, "I'm still not used to you
wearing that fake face. Can you take it off in front of me?"
Venus immediately refused, "No, I can take it off it at night, with no one watching me."
"I'm just making a suggestion. Why are you so nervous?" Xuan said.
"I also don’t want to wear it. My skin doesn't breathe and it hurts. It takes me a long time to wear it
every day. So please put up with it even if you don’t like it." Venus said.
Xuan laughed, "I'm just making a casual remark. And you're angry?"
Venus also felt a little unreasonable herself. She would also find it unbearable if a strange man wore
the face mask of her brother's before her. She thought of Xuan as the only person she could complain
about, so she was a little out of sorts.
"I'm sorry. I didn't control my temper." Venus forced a smile and apologized.
Xuan wasn't angry. He said, "Actually, you could have been a little more arrogant."
Venus laughed, "Please don't tease me."
"I'm serious," Xuan said. "My sister is a very spunky girl. She'll say anything she sees that doesn't go
her way and never restrains her temper or thinks of others."
Describing Yan as spunky was a compliment, it was only right to describe her as domineering. But she
was Xuan's sister, so Xuan didn't use domineering to describe her.
"Her family's power allows her to do that without being hated." Venus said. Yan was rich and pretty, so
there were many people who would flatter her. Even if she was arrogant and domineering, people
wouldn't stay away from her. If she was penniless and ugly, people would only dislike her.
Xuan didn't expect her to say this, and didn't know what to reply.
Venus suddenly saw that there was only a little bit of the intravenous drip left in the bottle and quickly
pressed the call button on the bedside table.
A minute later, the nurse came in with a bottle of intravenous drip and asked, "Is your name Xuan
Chu?"
"Yes."
After the nurse got an affirmative reply, she changed the intravenous drip for him. She peeked at the
man in the hospital bed as she adjusted the drip speed, and inwardly admired him for being handsome.
And all of her peeking at Xuan was seen by Venus.
It was only when the nurse was out that Venus smiled and said, "She is the fifth one."
"What?" Xuan was confused.
"Since you entered this ward, this is the fifth nurse to visit you on the pretext of work."
Xuan shook his head and laughed, "That can only mean that they see too few handsome men."
He was already used to this. In his opinion, a man's look was not so important. It didn't matter if they
were handsome or ugly, as long as they were capable.
"Brother, think about the fact that most of the people staying in the hospital are emaciated patients.
Even if a handsome man enters the hospital, he's not in the mood to pay attention to his image. Now
when these nurses see a handsome guy like you who is still so energetic in the hospital, of course they
will pay attention to you." Venus said and then sat on the stool, "If you stay here for half a month, I
guess all the nurses in the hospital will have to come and see you."
"I don't want to live here for half a month. I'm not a giant panda in a zoo, living here specifically for them
to visit me." Xuan laughed.
As soon as the laughter died down, the door of the ward was pushed open by two knocks. Kerry and
her assistant were standing in the doorway. The assistant was carrying a fruit basket in his hand.
"Kerry, why do you come here?" Venus got up from her chair and immediately thought back to whether
she had said anything revealing her own identity.
Kerry walked in with a smile on his face, "I heard that Mr. Chu was sick, so I come over to visit him."
Then he looked over at Xuan, "How is you feeling?"
Xuan put on a polite smile, "Much better. It’s not a big deal. I'll be out of the hospital in two days."
"Why did you suddenly faint? I was really shocked when I heard the news." Kerry was telling the truth.
He thought there was something wrong with last night's food and drinks and immediately sent Henry to
check it out, only to find out that he had a food allergy and that the food he was allergic to happened to
be the porridge Venus had bought.
"Yan doesn't know what her brother is allergic to?" Kerry thought. He was curious.
Xuan knew that Kerry must have finished his investigation before coming to the hospital, so he wasn't
going to hide it.
"I drank too much wine yesterday, so I felt sick when I got halfway there. Then I asked Yan to buy me a
few bowls of porridge. She spent so much time abroad that she forgot I was allergic to shrimp. I also
didn't notice that the porridge she bought had shrimp in it, so I just ate it." Then Xuan glared at Venus
deliberately as he said that.
Venus was grateful to see him speak up for her. Then she went on to make up the story, "Brother, I
know I was wrong, so please forgive me. Mom and Dad have scolded me over the phone. I promise I'll
never make that mistake again."
"I know you're happy to see me in the hospital, right?" Xuan teased.
"Brother, are you joking? you know, I like you the best." After Venus said that, not only was she a little
embarrassed, but also Xuan was a little overwhelmed.
Kerry had a lot of questions he wanted to ask them, but after hearing them talk, he wasn't going to ask
them anymore.
"How many days will Mr. Chu stay in the hospital? Do you need any help? I'm more familiar with Sky
City, I can help you."
Xuan smiled politely, "I'll be discharged the day after tomorrow. With Yan here to take care of me, Mr.
Ye doesn't have to bother."
Kerry was a little unhappy when he heard this. He didn't want her staying with a grown man at night.
He took a glance at Venus, who looked guilty, and said, "It's not convenient for her to care for you in
some ways. I think it’s better to let a man take care of you here. What do you think of me leaving my
assistant here to look after you?"
"Thank you, Mr. Ye, but don't bother. Shixuan Tang just called me and he’ll come here tonight." Xuan
looked at Venus and said teasingly, “I won’t let her stay up late with me."
Kerry was relieved.
After a few more minutes of talking, Kerry got up and said goodbye to Xuan, and then left the room.
Venus shut the door and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"When you just said you liked me best, I felt weird," Xuan teased.
Venus shuddered as well, "I thought so too. But thanks for helping me."
