Chapter 1062: 1062
They looked into each other’s eyes and both were utterly embarrassed…
“Ahem…” He Jiayu was the first to react . “I’ll get the doctor for you . ”
Su Xiaomo made wailed, then buried herself under her blanket .
The doctor soon arrived, and smiled kindly at her . “Young lady, I hear you have flatulence . ”
Su Xiaomo nibbled on her blanket and wouldn’t say a word .
“Most people would need at least a day before that happens . That was very fast of you . It’s a good thing . Having flatulence means that your intestines are working properly and you’ll be able to eat normally . Start with light food like rice porridge . It’ll be good for your recovery…” The doctor gave her quite a few instructions, which He Jiayu listened to attentively . He looked like he was going to write it all down in a notebook .
Ashamed and resentful, Su Xiaomo hid even deeper under her blanket .
He Jiayu tugged at her blanket after the doctor was gone . “You can come out now . ”
Su Xiaomo’s muffled bellow came from underneath . “Go away!”
She had farted in front of him! Oh, no! That was too humiliating…
“That was a normal physiological reaction and you really shouldn’t think it a big deal . ” He Jiayu tried to console her . Vexed, Su Xiaomo stuck her head out and shouted, “I’m a fairy! Fairies don’t fart!”
He Jiayu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry . “Fine, you don’t . It was me, happy?”
Su Xiaomo jumped at the opportunity . “Yes! It was you!”
“You’re absolutely right . ” He Jiayu caressed her hair . “Now, are you ready for something to eat?”
Su Xiaomo hesitated, but eventually nodded .
He Jiayu helped Su Xiaomo sit up, blew on the porridge until it cooled down a little, then carefully fed it to Su Xiaomo with a spoon .
Su Xiaomo had never been treated this way before and she was almost moved to tears .
He Jiayu rose to his feet after the porridge was finished, but Su Xiaomo grabbed the lower hem of his clothes .
“Where are you going?”
“Are you scared?” asked He Jiayu .
“Of course not!” Su Xiaomo said in exasperation . “I’m just asking!”
He Jiayu smiled gently . “I see . Well, I’m not going anywhere . ”
That’s more like it, Su Xiaomo said in her head . Something warm then landed on her forehead, which turned out to be He Jiayu’s long fingers . He brushed the loose hair off her face and tucked it behind her ears .
She felt a tickling sensation in her chest, as if something was ready to surface .
“Go to sleep . You can use some rest,” said He Jiayu quietly .
Su Xiaomo pursed her lips . “I can’t sleep . Tell me a story . ”
He Jiayu sat there dazed for a minute before saying apologetically, “I don’t know how to tell stories…” Seeing the disappointed look on Su Xiaomo’s face, he felt sorry and said, “Let me sing you a song, ok?”
“Alright . ”
He Jiayu cleared his throat and sang her a love song . There was something therapeutic about his voice, which sounded penetrating on a silent night like this .
However, Su Xiaomo was bored and said in despair, “I want something more fun!”
He Jiayu asked in resignation, “What do you have in mind?”
“‘Toxic’! ‘Wrecking Ball’! What else… I remember this song that goes something like ‘Le ro lo le lo le, Le ro lo le lo le…’” Su Xiaomo recalled, pulling random songs from memory .
He Jiayu was obviously conflicted . After much hesitation, he sighed . “Can we maybe have something a little calmer?”
“Sing ‘We Will Rock You,’ then!”
“…”
A moment later, He Jiayu saw that it was her final verdict, and he had no choice but to sing, “Buddy, you’re a boy, make a big noise…”
