Chapter 511: Chapter 511: His Thoughtfulness, Heartwarming
Fu Shinian returned to the master bedroom and Su Mu was still not awake. He quietly walked over and stood by the bed, hesitated between waking her up for dinner and letting her continue sleeping, then chose the latter. There was always time for dinner, but she might not sleep well at night.
Thinking this way, Fu Shinian decided not to disturb her. However, he didn’t expect that just as he stepped away, Su Mu suddenly opened her eyes, still a bit hazy. Coupled with the dim light in the room, the groggy her was startled by his figure and almost fully woke up, until Fu Shinian spoke:
"It’s me."
Su Mu slowly relaxed: "I was a bit slow to react."
Fu Shinian took a step forward and gently covered her eyes with his hand. Just as Su Mu was puzzled, she heard a ’click’, and the next second, she saw some light through the gaps between Fu Shinian’s fingers. Only then did she realize he was worried that she had been in the dark for too long and might not adapt to the light suddenly.
Her heart warmed.
Su Mu slowly pulled his hand from her eyes and smiled: "I’ve adjusted now."
Fu Shinian responded softly and sat down by the bed, looking at Su Mu, then at her heavily bandaged arm: "How does it feel? Still hurt?"
"Not bad, I had a good sleep." Su Mu glanced at the time: "Is Qiqi back?"
"He’s also fallen asleep downstairs."
The two fell silent, not speaking further, yet it didn’t feel awkward. It seemed that their relationship was naturally this way, comfortable with or without conversation. Fu Shinian had come in without closing the door, and now he clearly heard Qiqi’s laughter from downstairs. A smile gradually formed on his lips, and he spoke:
"Dinner is almost ready. Should we go down together, or shall I bring it up?"
"Let’s go down so Grandma and the others won’t worry."
Fu Shinian nodded, got up, and helped Su Mu arise. Su Mu felt that Fu Shinian was making a fuss over nothing, but Fu Shinian didn’t seem to think so, and was extremely cautious: "I haven’t told Qiqi about your injury yet. He might get scared seeing you like this."
"It can’t be helped, fortunately, it’s nothing serious."
As they went downstairs, Qiqi and Su Shiyue were playing hide and seek. Hearing footsteps, Qiqi stopped playing and ran to the stairway, only to freeze upon seeing Su Mu’s injured hand, then finally managed to say:
"Mom, what happened to you?"
She only called her Mom when she was nervous. Su Mu knew this and smiled slightly, walking down and crouching in front of her: "It’s nothing, just tripped and fell. It’ll be fine in a few days."
Qiqi didn’t seem entirely convinced, remaining silent, just staring at Su Mu’s arm, tentatively reaching out but not daring to touch, her eyes reddening as she asked:
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn’t hurt. Mommy is a grown-up."
"But grown-ups are human too. I hurt when I got my shots, and you have so many wounds."
Su Mu was warmed by Qiqi’s caring words. She always knew Qiqi was her sweet little comforter, always like a healing balm soothing all her pains.
Su Mu’s injury was on her left hand, so it didn’t affect her general movements too much, and she could eat by herself. However, Qiqi was very concerned and looked after her the whole time, constantly serving her food. Even Fu Shinian didn’t get a chance to show his care and had to intervene:
"Qiqi, you need to eat too."
Qiqi glanced at him: "After Mommy is full, I’ll naturally eat."
Fu Shinian smiled and said no more.
It’s impossible for Su Mu’s wounds not to hurt. Although she endured, she looked quite pale, and although Qiqi constantly took care of her meal, Su Mu didn’t eat much. Fu Shinian didn’t force her and, seeing she was tired, directly escorted her back to the room. Qiqi wanted to follow, but Fu Shinian stopped her:
"You eat first."
Qiqi was dissatisfied but didn’t insist.
Fu Shinian originally wanted Su Mu to lie down on the bed, but she refused, walking directly to the sofa and sitting there quietly, like a statue, not playing with her手机 or looking at the books beside her. Instead, her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Fu Shinian occasionally. After a few glances, she spoke:
"You haven’t finished eating, right? Go on, the food will get cold."
Fu Shinian quietly watched Su Mu for a while, then lightly chuckled:
"Need to use the restroom?"
Su Mu: "..." Was it that obvious?
Seeing Su Mu’s slightly stunned silence, Fu Shinian’s smile deepened, and he walked over to stand in front of her: "Didn’t you hear what Qiao Yu said? You got stitches in your arm, you can’t make any big movements for a while."
Su Mu lowered her gaze and avoided looking at him: "Using the restroom isn’t a big movement..."
"That’s still not okay. What if the wound splits open, you’d want to go back to the hospital for stitches again?"
Remembering the excruciating pain, Su Mu shook her head. Fu Shinian was pleased with her response, slightly smiling: "Get up, I’ll accompany you."
Su Mu: "...I can manage on my own."
"Want me to carry you?"
Su Mu: "..."
It wasn’t the first time; years ago at the old house, Su Mu had sprained her ankle and couldn’t move, and Fu Shinian had taken care of her the same way. But his attitude then and now was completely different. Back then, he was cold to her, unlike now, warm enough to make her want to draw close.
Despite this, Su Mu couldn’t let go of her pride or remove the barriers in her heart. Fu Shinian wasn’t in a hurry, quietly waiting a few seconds before losing his patience, directly bending down to pick her up. Su Mu let out a cry, about to struggle, when Fu Shinian spoke:
"Don’t move, if you’re shy, I’ll leave once I’m outside."
He did as he said, not teasing her in any lecherous way this time. After he had helped her out of her sleep pants without looking elsewhere, he walked out, leaving Su Mu surprised for a moment. He hadn’t seen her expression but reminded her before leaving:
"Call me when you’re done."
Su Mu: "..."
After dinner, Qiqi went upstairs. At that moment, Su Mu had just come out from the restroom, her face still flushed, but notably, Fu Shinian didn’t tease her about it. Instead, it was Qiqi who came up and exclaimed:
"Mom, why is your face so red, is it too hot?"
Su Mu hadn’t yet figured out how to answer, when Fu Shinian spoke from the side, saying: "Qiqi, Auntie Lin has prepared your room, you can sleep in the guest room or with your aunt later."
