Chapter 531 Ling Che is her sun
Before I opened my eyes, I could smell a refreshing and pleasant scent all around me.
The faint mint scent is very familiar and reassuring, and it also brings the restless heart back to its original place during sleep.
Qiao Ruyi opened her eyes with great effort. Her eyes, which had not seen the light for two days and two nights, were a little uncomfortable with the bright light.
Even though the curtains were drawn in the room, the light coming through was still a little dazzling to her.
She looked at the light coming through the gap in the curtains and blinked.
It turned out that it was already daybreak.
The sun had already risen.
"Qiao Ruyi."
A gentle and low voice sounded in her ears.
Qiao Ruyi turned her head and saw a magnified handsome face.
On that face, a pair of amber pupils stared at her motionlessly.
From his deep eyes, Qiao Ruyi saw her own face clearly.
The light coming through the window hit him, creating a halo of light.
Qiao Ruyi stared at Ling Che in a daze. It turned out that he was the warmest and brightest sun in her world.
"woke up?"
When he spoke, Ling Che's voice was low and hoarse, as if it had been polished by sand.
Qiao Ruyi's thin body was sunken in the soft bed. Her whole body was still hot, and her fair face was faintly flushed due to the fever.
She stared at Ling Che, noticing the dark circles under his eyes and the faint stubble on his chin.
She just took a nap, but her face looked a little haggard.
"How long have I slept?"
As soon as Qiao Ruyi opened her mouth, she realized that her throat was very hoarse.
Aunt Zhang brought in some pear juice and was so happy to see Qiao Ruyi wake up that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Young Madam, you're finally awake." Aunt Zhang was surprised but also worried. "You've been in a coma for two days and two nights. The young master has been watching over you for these two days and two nights, staying up all night."
Seeing Qiao Ruyi's slightly furrowed brows and the distress in her eyes, Ling Che raised his hand to feel the temperature of her forehead, "I'm glad you're awake."
"Have I slept for so long?"
Qiao Ruyi only felt that she had had a very long dream. In the dream, she was so depressed that she couldn't breathe and couldn't find a way out.
I didn’t expect it to be two days and two nights.
She raised her hand to touch Ling Che's face, but found that her whole body was so sore that she had no strength at all, as if her bones had been drained out, and she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand.
Ling Che seemed to see through her intention and held her hand in his palm. "You really can sleep a lot. You can sleep for two days and two nights at a time."
The doctor performed several tests and all of them said that she was drowsy due to the persistent high fever and there was no other problem, leaving him with no solution.
"So, you didn't rest either?" Qiao Ruyi stared at the dark circles under his eyes, feeling very sad. He had never been so tired before.
"You still have the mind to worry about me?" She slept alone for two days and two nights, without eating or drinking anything, and she lost a lot of weight.
Ling Che took the pear juice Aunt Zhang brought over and said, "Drink some water first."
He took care of her meticulously and considerately. Qiao Ruyi was not only worried about him, but also felt distressed when she saw him like this.
Sitting up at the head of the bed, Ling Che fed the pear juice into her mouth spoonful by spoonful.
After drinking a few sips of pear juice, her throat did feel a little better, but she had no appetite, so she turned her head away slightly and said, "I can't drink anymore."
"Drink some more." Ling Che said, his eyes gentle as if coaxing a child, "Be obedient."
Qiao Ruyi could only take another sip with the spoon he handed her. The pear juice was sweet and not greasy, but at this moment it felt too sweet in her mouth.
Under Ling Che's coaxing, she drank three or four spoonfuls in a row. When she really couldn't drink any more, Ling Che asked Aunt Zhang to bring it downstairs.
“Ling Che…”
Qiao Ruyi's words were melted in the other person's embrace before she could finish them.
Ling Che held her body tightly in his arms, feeling her warmth.
"Qiao Ruyi, don't fall into a deep sleep at any time anymore."
As she lay there quietly, Ling Che would more than once test her body temperature and breathing late at night. Somehow, he was afraid that she would fall asleep and never wake up again.
Now that she had woken up, even though her temperature was still high, he felt much more at ease.
As long as she is alive, that's enough.
Qiao Ruyi's hands had no strength, and she lifted them with difficulty and placed them on his thin waist.
"sorry that I had you worried."
She whispered an apology, tilting her head to kiss his neck.
Ling Che shuddered at the sensation of a hot kiss on her neck, and hugged her tightly again.
"are you hungry?"
Qiao Ruyi shook her head.
"Ten minutes later, take the fever-reducing medicine."
Qiao Ruyi nodded obediently.
Ling Che slowly let go of her and leaned against her back with a pillow.
There were still traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.
Ling Che raised his hand and gently wiped it away, "You slept for such a long time, did you dream?"
His eyes and voice were so gentle that they seemed to be overflowing with tears.
Qiao Ruyi held his hand and said, "Have a very long dream."
Ling Che asked, "What did you dream about? You were crying."
The people in the dream are no longer there, and the things that happened in the dream happened many years ago. She had tried to forget them a long time ago and didn't know why they appeared in this dream.
She shook her head. "It doesn't matter anymore."
Even if she didn't say it, Ling Che could roughly guess it.
Although she has been the eldest daughter of the Qiao family in recent years, he still knows a thing or two about the life she has led.
That's why he dragged her to get the marriage certificate as soon as she returned to China. As Mrs. Ling, she could do whatever she wanted in the Qiao Mansion, do whatever she wanted, and vent her anger however she wanted. Anyway, she had his support behind her, and no one dared to say anything.
Ling Che stared at her blushing cheeks and her misty eyes, "Do you have something to say to me?"
He could not hide any of her expressions.
Qiao Ruyi looked at his gentle eyes and felt a lump in her throat for a moment.
"Qiao He..."
She choked up after saying just three words.
Ling Che tucked her quilt and said, "I have arranged all the funeral affairs, you don't have to worry about it."
"Also," Ling Che met her misty eyes and stroked her hair, "Qiao He didn't hurt my father. There's no need for any of this grudge between you and me anymore."
"Ling Che." Qiao Ruyi's tears fell as she asked him, "Did I do something wrong?"
"Why do you say that?" Ling Che asked.
"I was determined to kill him, so I deliberately angered him and delayed his rescue." As Qiao Ruyi said this, her fingertips pinched her palm tightly.
Therefore, after seeing Qiao He's handwritten letter, she stood in the heavy rain, hoping that the rain would make her clearly aware of what she was doing.
It was she who pushed Qiao He to death.
It was she who personally cut off her father's only hope.
"Qiao Ruyi, this is not your fault."
Ling Che pried open her hand that was tightly gripping his palm and held it in his palm.
"Do you know why his health is getting worse day by day and why he had another heart attack?"
