Chapter 50 I smelled a fragrance.
Chapter 50 I smelled a fragrance.
Seeing Qi Min's weak yet resolute and trusting demeanor, the female soldiers suddenly felt an immense weight of responsibility on their shoulders.
When the two of them first arrived, they hadn't paid much attention to the incident of the male insect being killed.
There are at least 80 to 100 male insect incidents like this every month.
Some male insects are notoriously difficult to please, including Meng Jun, whom Qi Min mentioned.
However, most of the people Meng Jun had conflicts with before were male insects of lower or equal rank than him.
But this time, Meng Jun not only harmed Qi Min, who was of a higher level than him, but also joined forces with other male insects to harm him. This was the first time such an incident had occurred.
That's why they were so surprised when they learned about this from Qi Min.
"Rest assured! We will certainly not let you down. Your Excellency Qi Min, please rest well and take good care of your health. Commander Ling, we will take our leave now."
The two female soldiers stood tall and solemn, solemnly assuring Qi Min, then saluted Ling Yi again before taking their leave.
"Your Excellency Qi Min, I'll take my leave now. Please rest well. If you feel unwell, please have your mistress notify me, and I will come as soon as possible."
Seeing Qi Min's exhausted and weak appearance, and with both female soldiers gone, Liu Jin felt it inappropriate to stay any longer, so he also indicated his intention to leave.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Dr. Liu."
Qi Min weakly nodded in agreement. Ling Yi didn't say anything, but his expression still showed some displeasure towards the female soldier.
After Liu Jin left, the room was once again empty except for the two of them.
"My lord, please let go of my hand. I'll go get some water to wash your face."
Seeing that Qi Min's face was covered in cold sweat, Ling Yi got up to go to the bathroom to get some water to wipe Qi Min's face.
But Qi Min kept his eyes closed and gripped his hand tightly, refusing to let go.
Ling Yi's worried expression turned into one of confusion. Qi Min looked so weak, how could he still have so much strength?
"I'm hungry. What did you buy me to eat? I can smell the delicious food."
Qi Min opened his eyes, reached out and removed the oxygen mask from his face, and spoke gently to Ling Yi.
Although Qi Min's face was still pale, the weakness and helplessness he had shown earlier were gone.
"My lord... are you alright?"
Ling Yi looked at Qi Min's smile with some surprise, her eyes full of doubt.
He couldn't understand how Qi Min, who had just been half-dead, could now... suddenly appear energetic.
"I'm fine as long as you're here. Quickly bring me the food you bought, I'm really hungry..."
Qi Min's lips curled up slightly, his voice was soft, and his face carried a gentle smile. His tone when speaking to Ling Yi had a hint of... coquettishness.
Looking at Qi Min's face, which was slightly pale due to weakness, yet bearing such a gentle and harmless smile, Ling Yi felt as if a feather had brushed against his heart.
Ling Yi's fingers twitched slightly, and he suddenly had a strong urge to touch Qi Min's head. He pursed his lips awkwardly, restraining his hand from reaching out.
"Alright... then let me go, I'll go get it..."
Ling Yi turned her head away, not daring to look at Qi Min's smile anymore. She stared at the pattern on the hospital blanket and answered in a slightly unsteady voice.
Seeing his reaction, Qi Min raised an eyebrow in surprise, thinking to himself:
'So Ling Yi likes this kind of thing.'
Seeing Ling Yi's discomfort, Qi Min released his sweaty hand and told him to get breakfast. He wasn't lying; he was genuinely hungry.
After Ling Yi prepared the nursing table, he reached out to help Qi Min sit up, using the same embracing posture as in the morning, only the objects of their affection were reversed.
Qi Min smiled and put his arm around Ling Yi's neck. Before Ling Yi could pull his hands away, Qi Min gave Ling Yi a quick poke on the side of his face.
Ling Yi quickly released Qi Min and stood up, moving his lips as if he wanted to say something.
But seeing the gentle smile on Qi Min's face, he ultimately said nothing, turned around, took the breakfast, and placed it in front of Qi Min.
Have you eaten breakfast?
While eating, Qi Min asked Ling Yi, who was sitting in a chair, seemingly deep in thought.
"Huh? Oh, not yet."
Ling Yi was still pondering that her feelings for Qi Min seemed a little off when she heard Qi Min's question and responded.
"Oh, not yet? Then you're sitting so far away because you don't want to eat with me, so you're planning to wait until I finish eating before you go eat?"
Qi Min tilted his head slightly, a smile still on his lips, but a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
"No... I didn't mean that."
Seeing Qi Min like this, Ling Yi quickly explained, then got up and moved the chair to the bedside.
Seeing how self-aware he was, Qi Min suppressed his dejection and revealed a satisfied smile.
After having breakfast with Ling Yi, Qi Min suggested washing up, but Ling Yi disagreed.
"The doctor said you need to rest well. The wound has just been re-bandaged, so you shouldn't move around."
Ling Yi spoke very seriously, as if she was determined to strictly follow the doctor's orders.
"But I really feel uncomfortable all over. How about this, I'll try not to move, and you can help me wash..."
Qi Min first softened his voice, then changed the subject and revealed his true purpose.
"How is that possible!"
Ling Yi immediately refused. He hadn't figured out his feelings for Qi Min yet, so he rejected Qi Min's excessive request without even thinking.
"Why not? You are my queen, what's wrong with that? I don't mind letting you see it."
Qi Min looked completely innocent, feigning confusion, and generously declared that he didn't mind being looked at by Ling Yi at all.
"But…………"
Ling Yi originally wanted to say, "But I mind," but then she suddenly realized that Qi Min was right; she was his empress.
Taking care of his master was his duty, and he seemed to have no reason to refuse. Ling Yi lowered his eyes, a hint of struggle flashing in them.
"If you really don't want to, then I'll go by myself... It's okay, I can do it myself... Cough cough."
Seeing Ling Yi's hesitant expression, Qi Min immediately put on a pitiful face and said that he could do it. He propped himself up on his arms to get out of bed and coughed twice uncomfortably.
"My lord, that's not what I meant. Let me help you wash..."
Although Ling Yi still had some hesitation, he couldn't really let Qi Min wash up alone.
Even though Qi Min's wound had been treated, it was still quite serious because the area of the wound was too large, and he needed to rest and recover slowly.
Qi Min let Ling Yi help him out of bed. Noticing the conflicted and hesitant expression on his face, Qi Min sighed inwardly.
'Looks like I can't rush things...'
After helping Qi Min into the bathroom, they arranged for him to sit temporarily in a patient-only chair.
