Quite awkward

Chapter 163 2 Brother, You Are Finally Here

A group of doctors and nurses pushed open the ward door and performed a routine check on the patient who was in a car accident yesterday.

Hearing the noise, Qi Yu opened her eyes at this time, and jumped up from the folding bed. When she saw that the person coming was a doctor, she quickly turned her eyes and looked towards the bed.

Mu Yanqing leaned on the raised pillow, his soft gaze moved over, a gentle smile hung on his lips, and he nodded gently to her.

He seemed to be telling her with his eyes that he was fine.

Qi Yu got out of bed, put on his shoes, and trotted to the bedside.

Seeing that Mu Yanqing had difficulty speaking, the doctor reminded Qi Yu to give the patient some water.

Qi Yu acted quickly, poured warm water into the cup, held Mu Yanqing's shoulders, put the rim of the cup to his lips, and gently fed the water into his mouth.

After drinking half a glass of water, she asked softly, "Brother, do you want more?"

Mu Yanqing pursed his lips and shook his head.

Qi Yu turned around and took a piece of paper to wipe the water from the corner of his mouth. Every movement was extremely delicate and gentle.

At this moment, Mu Chenan, who had finished smoking, went upstairs again. When the nurse saw the newcomers, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. She was shocked that there were three men and women with extremely superior looks in this small ward at the same time.

When Qi Yu saw Mu Chenan rushing here overnight, she was overwhelmed with emotion, tears welling up in her eyes. She then choked up and shouted, "Second brother, you're finally here."

Mu Chenan smiled faintly and gave her a soothing look.

At this moment, there were many people in the ward, but he only had eyes for Qi Yu.

She had long, curly reddish-brown hair, her originally beautiful eyes were slightly swollen, and her face looked pale and haggard.

She must have had a very hard night.

But she was reluctant to let go of her brother's shoulder.

Mu Chenan walked over to take her place, put his arm around his brother's shoulders from behind, and lowered his voice to ask him, "Brother, are you feeling okay?"

Mu Yanqing was calm and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine."

Next, the doctor continued to examine Mu Yanqing and explained the patient's current physical condition to the family.

"The patient's mood should remain stable. If he has headaches, dizziness, nausea, or vomiting, he must inform the doctor immediately. He should try not to use his hands. Family members should try to help him with eating, drinking, and going to the toilet.

Mu Chenan wrote down the doctor's instructions one by one, and asked the doctor in detail about his elder brother's current physical condition.

“How long will it take him to recover?”

"Given his current condition, he must be hospitalized for more than half a month and can only recover slowly." The doctor answered cautiously and appropriately from a professional perspective.

Realizing that it would take a long time, Mu Yanqing frowned slightly, but there was nothing he could do.

Doctors and nurses evacuated the ward one after another.

Mu Chenan put his hands away and stood by the bed. Mu Yanqing then leaned against the bedside, looked at the two of them, and said softly, "Ayu still has to film. Chenan, find someone to take her back to Yuening Ancient Town."

"Okay, I understand. You don't have to worry about these things." Mu Chenan replied calmly, his voice much lower.

Qi Yu took a step forward, worry and anxiety on his face.

"Brother, why don't I take a day off."

Mu Yanqing decisively refused: "Ayu, I'm fine. Your leave will delay the progress of the entire crew. Remember to consider the overall situation."

Qi Yu's decision to ask for leave just now was an impulsive one. She simply wanted to stay and take care of him.

"I understand, big brother." She lowered her head. In order not to make him worry, the best way was to be obedient.

Mu Chenan leaned over slightly, pulled the quilt on the bed to cover Mu Yanqing's chest, and then slowly told him his plans.

"Brother, you will definitely need to take a leave of absence from your university job in Yunnan and Guizhou. I want you to stay in Qingcheng for a day or two to see how you recover, and then return to Linjiang for further treatment. The medical level there is much higher."

Mu Yanqing had the same idea, but he didn't dislike the poor medical level in Qingcheng. It was just a concussion and a fracture, which could be treated anywhere.

What he cared about was that Qi Yu wanted to stay here and continue filming. He didn't want to stay here and become a concern for her, so it would be better for him to just leave.

"Okay, let's arrange it like this..."

Qi Yu had no say in this matter and stood silently beside the bed. Suddenly, she felt that her brother's voice was unusually hoarse, so she walked around Mu Chenan's broad back, picked up the kettle on the locker and poured another cup of warm water.

She used her petite body to push aside Mu Chenan who was standing at the head of the bed, held her elder brother's shoulder with one hand, and held the water cup with the other hand to try to give him some more water.

The next second, Mu Chenan easily snatched the cup from her hand, and a few drops of water spilled onto the quilt.

“Let me feed it.”

Seeing Qi Yu's natural movements, his heart ached and he didn't want to see the two of them doing anything intimate.

Whether he was being self-indulgent or being unreasonable, he was determined to break the balance of their relationship.

Then Qi Yu consciously stepped aside.

Mu Yanqing's eyes were calm. He lowered his chin and took two sips of water to moisten his throat.

After putting down the cup, Mu Chenan turned to ask Qi Yu: "What happened to the car accident? What happened to the group of people riding motorcycles?"

Qi Yu shook his head blankly. "I don't know. It should be the driver that Big Brother hired who is handling the traffic accident. The injured motorcycle rider went to another hospital nearby."

Mu Chenan nodded and didn't ask any further questions. He planned to find out about the traffic accident himself later.

He went out and bought two breakfasts, one for Mu Yanqing and one for Qi Yu.

A small table was placed on the bed, and Mu Chenan patiently scooped up the porridge and brought it to his brother's mouth spoon by spoon.

Mu Yanqing had a poor appetite and could not eat after drinking only one-third of the porridge.

Mu Chenan stopped insisting and packed up his things. He then said softly, "Brother, take a rest. I'll take Qi Yu downstairs and ask the driver to take her back to the ancient town."

Mu Yanqing nodded with a pale and weak face.

After Qi Yugang finished eating, he took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, then ran to the bedside and said a few words to Mu Yanqing, asking him to take care of himself and rest well.

"Brother, if I finish work early today, I'd like to come see you. It's okay for me to stay in the ward at night."

Mu Yanqing's eyes were looking at her with a deep and dark look. Even though he had a concussion, he was still rational.

"Ayu, you don't have to come over. We can just talk on the phone tonight. You can focus on filming on the set and don't worry about me."

There was a flush of heat in Qi Yu's eyes. She pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, big brother, I'll listen to you."

Mu Chenan, who was standing aside, watched the reluctant interaction between the two. His expression was indifferent and cold. He moved his feet impatiently and walked out of the ward early.

Qi Yu caught a glimpse of Mu Chenan leaving first from the corner of his eye. He was stunned and said goodbye to his brother. He hurriedly picked up his bag and chased after him.

When she walked out of the ward, she found that Mu Chenan had not walked far. He just stood by the window at the end of the corridor with his back turned, one hand in his pocket, looking out the window.

It rained a little early this morning, and the flowers, plants and trees outside were moistened by the rain and dew. This is actually just a common scene that can be seen everywhere in spring.

“Second brother.”

When it was quiet, Mu Chenan suddenly heard the call.

He paused and slowly turned his head. A breeze from the window followed his gaze and fell on her beautiful but haggard face.

"Well, come here for a moment."

Qi Yu walked towards him slowly with an inexplicable feeling. Within a few seconds, she stopped in front of him and looked at him with her head slightly tilted up.

He put his arm around her waist and pushed her forward with a little force, then she faced the window and leaned against the windowsill.

Mu Chenan stood behind her, covering her with his body.

People passing by could not notice that there was a woman hiding behind the man.

"Shall we chat for a few minutes?" His voice was gentle, but with a hint of coldness and strength.

Qi Yu didn't know what he wanted to talk about. She didn't have the energy to argue with him, so she just subconsciously made an inaudible "hmm" as a response.

"What do you think of me now?" Mu Chenan was too lazy to beat around the bush with his feelings, so his question was quite direct.

Qi Yu was stunned for a few seconds, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he turned around and looked at him speechlessly.

My eldest brother is still lying on the hospital bed at this moment, and what he cares about most is this matter.

Her expression was not very good, but she didn't hesitate and gave him the answer in a cold voice.

"I don't have any thoughts. I treat you as my second brother, as my eldest brother's younger brother, that's it."

Mu Chenan's expression didn't change much. He raised his hand and touched Qi Yu's hair. His fingers rubbed against her hair, making a rustling sound. His palm touched the back of her head and he suddenly pressed it down.

The next moment, Qi Yu's head was forced to tilt back, and his soft thin lips touched her cheek. Just a light touch, and then he let her go without any other unusual movements.

Her reaction time was prolonged, and she did not understand the specific intention of his action.

"Qi Yu, I love you." Muchan's affection was mixed with a hint of humility.

He spoke clearly, and every word he said entered Qi Yu's ears without missing a single one.

Hearing this, she rolled her eyes around helplessly, with an expression of undisguised astonishment.

She wanted to say I don't love you, but her brain suppressed her rebellious psychology, her throat was blocked, and she couldn't even respond normally.

Mu Chenan actually didn't want to achieve any purpose. Seeing her expression changing again and again but remaining silent, he sighed in his heart and spoke softly.

"I just want to tell you that I not only like you, but I love you. You don't have to feel burdened. Also, I care about you just as much as you do. It's just that after today we may not be able to meet at any time, so I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you this."

Qi Yu was a little afraid to face him. She lowered her head and stared blankly at the shoes of the two people under her feet.

In this position, Mu Chenan pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

"If I had been in the car yesterday, I would have tried my best to protect you."

About half a minute later, he heard Qi Yu's low and soft voice.

"Brother, I know."

She no longer doubted his feelings for her.

Noticing her slightly moved tone, Mu Chenan suddenly relaxed his brows and smiled gently.

"After we finish talking, I'll take you to the car."

Qi Yu nodded obediently.

"it is good."

-

Mu Chenan returned to the ward and accidentally bumped his shoulder into the IV stand while walking. He looked up and found that his elder brother would need an IV later.

He casually pulled a chair and sat beside the bed. He touched his brother's right hand, which was in a cast, and asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"

Mu Yanqing made a helpless expression.

"Of course it hurts. It hurts so much that I can't do anything."

After hearing this, Mu Chenan sighed quietly.

It wasn't that the pain was so severe that he couldn't do anything. He could clearly crawl out of bed, walk a few meters away, and sneak up to Qi Yu to kiss her.

He knew very well that he couldn't mobilize his elder brother's emotions at the moment, so he endured the many doubts in his heart for the time being, and waited until he recovered before bringing up the scene he accidentally witnessed this morning.

The nurse came in and gave Mu Yanqing an IV.

Mu Chenan got up and walked away, sitting on the bed where Qi Yu had slept last night, keeping in touch with Chen Yang and handling the group's work affairs remotely.

Before leaving the ward, the nurse reminded Mu Chenan: "After the IV is finished, please remember to ring the bell."

Mu Chenan put down the phone next to his ear, nodded in agreement, and asked the nurse to turn on the TV and turn down the volume.

My brother can't move his hands, so he can neither look at his mobile phone nor read books. If he could watch TV, he might not feel bored anymore.

When he wants to sleep, he can just close his eyes and fall asleep peacefully, because he has his family to take care of him.

-

Muchenan stayed in the hospital ward the whole day. In addition to taking care of his elder brother and talking to him, he then worked on his laptop.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Yu called and said that she had finished work and wanted to come to the hospital. She asked Mu Chenan to arrange a driver to pick her up.

Mu Chenan did not give a clear answer, but put the phone on speakerphone and held the phone in front of his brother.

"Brother, I want to come over to see you, okay?" Qi Yu begged.

"Ayu, I'm fine. You don't have to come over. Have a good rest tonight and we'll contact each other tomorrow." Although Mu Yanqing's voice was weak, his tone was unquestionable.

Mu Chenan took back his phone and tapped the screen, as if to end the call. He walked out of the ward, walked to the window where he had stood in the morning, and put the phone to his ear again.

"Qi Yu."

Just now, Qi Yu heard clear footsteps coming from the phone. As if they had a tacit understanding, she did not hang up the phone on her own initiative, but waited quietly.

"Brother, I'm here."

"Well, you really want to come over?"

"But my brother won't allow it." Qi Yu hesitated.

“What time does work start tomorrow?”

“I start putting on makeup at 9am.”

"It's still in time. I'll ask the driver to pick you up. When Big Brother falls asleep tonight, you can come over to see him and stay at the hotel tonight. How about this arrangement?"

Mu Chenan suddenly became very easy to talk to, his tone was calm and composed, and he arranged everything in an orderly manner.

Qi Yu was puzzled: "Why do we have to wait until Big Brother falls asleep? I still want to talk to him."

"Didn't you say that Big Brother doesn't allow it? Then don't let him know."

"Okay." Qi Yu was convinced by him.
