After Chen Xiaohui left, Li Man fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up again, she saw Huo Jian Sheng.
It was a spacious single ward with curtains drawn halfway on both sides, allowing the evening sun to shine through the window glass. The soft light enveloped Huo Jian Sheng, making him appear exceptionally gentle. Li Man's heart skipped a beat.
In front of Huo Jian Sheng was a small square table with a laptop placed on it. He tightly pursed his lips, and his slender and distinct fingertips swiftly tapped on the keyboard, showing great focus without noticing that she had woken up.
Li Man didn't want to disturb him, so she silently watched him until the sun began to set and the light gradually dimmed, plunging the entire room into darkness.
The cold light from the laptop screen illuminated his resolute facial features, adding a touch of tenderness.
Finally finishing his work, Huo Jian Sheng stretched lazily and instinctively glanced at the person on the hospital bed.
Under the dim light, a pair of bright eyes sparkled.
"You're awake?"
The corners of Huo Jian Sheng's lips unconsciously curled up as he got up and switched on the wall switch. Instantly, bright lights filled the room.
"When did you wake up? Why didn't you call me?"
The man's voice was deep and gentle, causing Li Man to blush involuntarily.
Fortunately, her face was bruised and swollen, so it wasn't noticeable.
She cleared her throat awkwardly and said, "I just woke up. I saw you were busy, so I didn't want to disturb you. When did you arrive?"
"I came in the afternoon." Huo Jian Sheng smiled gently and asked, "Are you hungry? Let me feed you."
"No, I can do it myself." Li Man quickly replied.
"Can you manage by yourself?" Huo Jian Sheng looked at the person lying on the bed, unable to move, with a puzzled expression.
"I can." Li Man hurriedly said.
Huo Jian Sheng chuckled, "You can't even move, how can you feed yourself?"
"Although I can't move, my hands can." Li Man hastily raised her hands, but the pain in her arms made her wince.
Huo Jian Sheng laughed, "Don't push yourself. Just lie down and let me feed you."
Saying that, he took the thermos lunch box from the bedside table, opened it, and scooped a small bowl of porridge.
After ladling the porridge, he walked to the end of the bed and adjusted its height.
"Is this height okay?"
"It's fine, thank you." Li Man quickly replied.
Huo Jian Sheng pulled over a chair, sat by the bed, picked up the porridge, blew on a spoonful, and then brought it to Li Man's lips. "Here, open your mouth."
Li Man's face instantly turned red, and she shyly opened her mouth and ate the porridge that Huo Jian Sheng fed her.
"Is it delicious?" Huo Jian Sheng asked expectantly.
"Mmm, it's delicious." Li Man nodded quickly. "It's really good. If you like it, I can buy it for you tomorrow."
"No need!" Li Man quickly interjected. "It's really not necessary to go through all this trouble. You're so busy, there's no need for you to come over every day. I've hired a caregiver."
Huo Jian Sheng smiled. "I let go of your caregiver."
Li Man's eyes widened in surprise. Let go? He actually let go of her caregiver?
Li Man forced a smile. "Why did you let go of my caregiver?"
"With me taking care of you, there's no need for a caregiver. Why waste money on that?" Huo Jian Sheng said confidently.
