The few days I spent lying idle in the hospital were actually pretty good. I ate the lunch boxes Shu Nian made every day, and after my wounds were re-stitched, they were fine. I ate and drank as usual, and flirted with the nurses all day long.
As long as I put my mind to it, I was still quite likable. The nurses laughed and scolded me for being "too much" and "a stinky man" while giving me special treatment. I became the most popular patient and lived a comfortable life. I was so happy that I didn't want to leave the hospital.
I happily treated my hospital stay as a vacation, the only difference was that others went to the beach on the other side of the world to sunbathe, while I sunbathe on the hospital bed. The four white walls sometimes give people a sense of security that comes from escape.
When Xie Yan pushed open the door of the ward with a sullen face, I was curled up in bed reading the romance magazines that the nurses had smuggled to me, and I was laughing so hard. When I looked up and saw that debt-collecting face, I was so scared that I almost hiccuped.
My brother-in-law placed a thermos cup on the bedside table with such force that even the solid wood was shaking. "How long are you going to keep lying?"
