A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

Chapter 251 Solitude

After Mr. and Mrs. Qin left, the ward became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Qin Yiche remained silent, which made Lin Ling quite awkward. She even considered checking the tickets later and deciding to go back tomorrow. After all... Qin Yiche didn't seem to have any major problems.

"Ahem~" She cleared her throat, breaking the silence.

"This, this ward is quite, quite nice~" Lin Ling said awkwardly, trying to start a conversation.

Qin Yiche tried to sit up, supporting himself on his arms, but the stitches on his back were pulling painfully. He grimaced and gave up, then called Lin Ling for help.

Lin Ling hurriedly approached the hospital bed, helped Qin Yiche sit up, and even rocked the bed up a bit, placing pillows behind him to support it, taking great care of him.

Qin Yiche leaned against the bed, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

He wasn't really giving Lin Ling a hard time; he was just too shocked by her sudden appearance in front of him.

"Ahem~" Qin Yiche clenched his fist and put it to his mouth, coughing twice to cover up his discomfort.

"that......"

"you......"

Unexpectedly, Lin Ling spoke at the same time as he did.

The two looked at each other simultaneously, both momentarily stunned. Lin Ling turned her head away first, averting her gaze.

"You go first," she said.

Qin Yiche looked at her and asked, "Why did you come here? Aren't you at work?"

"I just heard from Aunt Qin that your surgery was quite serious, so I came to check on you. I happen to be free of work these days..." Lin Ling replied.

"Um... are you alright?" Lin Ling asked again.

He seemed to have difficulty even sitting up just now.

Qin Yiche smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a few stitches in my back."

Lin Ling craned her neck to look at Qin Yiche's back, but he was wearing a hospital gown, so she couldn't see anything. As she looked, she kept muttering, "How many stitches did he get? How did it happen? He'll need to recover for a while; it's definitely not a good time for him to fly..."

Qin Yiche, seeing the person constantly tiptoeing to look at his back, joked with a smile, "Want me to take it off for you?"

"Huh?" Lin Ling didn't immediately understand what he meant.

"I said..." Qin Yiche was quite kind and prepared to repeat himself.

Lin Ling hurriedly interrupted him, "No, no need, no need." Her face flushed red.

She sat down properly on the small sofa again.

"You're planning to stay in Hong Kong for a few days. I can't be a good host like this, so I'll take you out to have some fun. Or I can find you a tour guide," Qin Yiche said seriously, no longer teasing her.

Lin Ling waved her hand, "No need, no need to trouble yourself, I'll stay for two days and then leave..."

"Very busy?" Qin Yiche raised an eyebrow and asked her.

Lin Ling was taken aback. "Huh? It's...it's alright, not too busy..."

"Then why are you in such a hurry to go back? You're already here." Qin Yiche said naturally, "Didn't I say I don't have any work scheduled? So stay a few more days. I should be able to take you out after my stitches are removed in a couple of days."

"Really... there's no need to trouble yourself..." Lin Ling politely declined.

She can go out and have fun by herself. She can't bear the responsibility of having Qin Yiche drag her out with her body still injured from surgery!

"You should rest well. I can go out by myself," Lin Ling said seriously, completely dispelling Qin Yiche's idea of ​​taking her out to fulfill his duty as a host.

Besides, since we're staying, we have plenty of time, so there's no rush to play.

After exchanging a few words, there was another period of silence.

There was a slightly awkward silence.

It's better than when I first came in.

Seeing the apples on the table, Lin Ling offered, "Let me peel an apple for you to eat, so you can get some nutrition."

Then, without waiting for Qin Yiche's reply, she playfully picked up the apple.

She kept her head down, focused, her eyes entirely on her hands, peeling the apple peel into long, thin strips that never broke.

Qin Yiche stared at Lin Ling, somewhat stunned.

This seemed to be the first time he had observed her so seriously.

Even though they lived under the same roof before, he didn't seem to pay much attention to Lin Ling.

Actually, his first impression of Lin Ling was that she was Shen Nian's classmate.

She has a very easygoing and cheerful personality and loves to laugh.

After we started living together, I discovered that she was indeed very careless and naive. She looked shrewd on the outside, but was actually incredibly stupid.

After Lin Ling finished peeling the apple, a long strip of peel fell to the ground without breaking. She felt a great sense of accomplishment. She put the peeled apple back on the plate, picked up the string of apple peel from the ground, and looked up excitedly, ready to show it off to Qin Yiche.

Before Qin Yiche could withdraw his gaze, their eyes met unexpectedly.

Then they both paused for a moment.

Qin Yiche was the first to come to his senses and deliberately said, "Is it peeled yet? I was just thinking of eating an apple."

Lin Ling also came to her senses, "It's done."

She used her other hand to hold the apple as she walked to the bedside and handed it to Qin Yiche, saying, "Here, you can have it."

Qin Yiche took the apple and took a bite.

It's really sweet~

He had just finished eating an apple when the nurse came over to change the dressing on his back wound.

Lin Ling finally saw the hideous scar.

While applying the medication, the nurse instructed, "Family members should be careful not to touch the wound when wiping the body. Try to cover as much area as possible. If it gets wet, it can easily become infected and inflamed. This wound is quite deep, so please be extra careful."

Lin Ling stood there, stunned. The nurse looked at her and said, "Also, try to lie down as much as possible and don't sit for too long. You lost a lot of blood before, so eat more nutritious food to replenish your blood."

"Yes, I understand, thank you, nurse." Lin Ling belatedly realized that the other person was talking to her and hurriedly thanked her.

"Okay, that's enough." The nurse left the ward after changing the dressing.

Lin Ling watched her walk to the door, then turned around and saw Qin Yiche putting on his clothes by himself.

She quickly stopped him, "Wait!"

Qin Yiche paused. "What's wrong?"

"Don't move around. The nurse just said to try not to touch the wound. Let me help you put it on!" Lin Ling said, naturally adjusting Qin Yiche's hospital gown and pulling up the sleeves so that Qin Yiche could easily put his gloves on. She then helped him button it up, making sure he didn't have to do it himself.

When Lin Ling was buttoning her clothes, she was very close to Qin Yiche, her head was right under his chin, and her nostrils were filled with the familiar scent of his shampoo.

It has a light jasmine scent, which smells quite nice.

Qin Yiche stared blankly at the person in front of him, who was seriously buttoning his clothes.

He felt his heart pounding uncontrollably for the first time...
