Chapter 41: Second confession!

Morning.

9 am.

Drip, drip, drip... The needle of the drip was injected into Shin jian's wrist. It was excruciating. Xu Fanqia had nothing much to do in the ward, and she took his keys. She left for his home to help him bring his towels, underwear, socks, etc. She also needs to help him bring a set of clean clothes. The newly bought suit and shoes were all damaged in the fire.

After Xu Fanqia left, the nurse who was inserting the drip laughed: "Your aunt is so pretty."

The old man also said: "That girl is so nice to you."

Shin jian felt proud. It was as if they were praising him.

Xu Fanqia returned before 11 am with a small suitcase. She had brought clothes, toothbrush, shampoo, plates, etc. along with her and packed everything into the small cabinet beside Shin jian's bed. She was sweating and panting. But she did not stop. She lifted Shin jian's blanket and change his socks for him. After that, she took a plastic basin and soap to the washroom to help wash his dirty socks.

Shin jian was touched. 'Aunt Fanqia, rest for a while."

Xu Fanqia turned and smiled. She still had foams on her hands. "I am not tired. You stop moving about. You are still on a drip."

"Ok."

Aunt Fanqia was squatting down washing the clothes, and her back was facing Shin jian. Her clothes were pulled up slightly, exposing her lower back. Shin jian's eyes were glued to her back. Maybe he was imagining something naughty and suddenly had the urge to pee. He looked at the bottle of drip hang above him. There were at least half a bottle more. It will last at least half an hour more. He tried to control the urge, but could not stand it anymore. He endured the pain in his shoulders and legs and slowly got off the bed to wear his slippers.

Xu Fanqia who had finished washing his socks was shocked. "What are you trying to do?"

Shin jian smiled. "I need to go to the toilet." He reached out to grab the drip.

"Stop moving. You are not allowed to move." Xu Fanqia hurriedly washed her hands. "The drip is attached to your moveable hand. You cannot carry the drip with that hand."

It was hard for Shin jian to visit the toilet yesterday. Today, it was harder with the drip. Shin jian also knew that he was not allowed to move. But it was embarrassing for him to ask Aunt Fanqia to help him. "It's fine. I will be out in a minute to help you." Shin jian ignored her and pressed the drip's valve, stopping the drip. He carried the bottle and limped towards the toilet.

Xu Fanqia walked towards him angrily. "Why can't you listen to me? You want me to hit you?" She took the bottle from him and helped him to the toilet. "Don't try to be a hero. Come, I will help you."

Shin jian replied embarrassedly: "It's okay. I can do it myself."

Xu Fanqia waved her hand: "You want me to hit you? Hurry up and go!"

"Ok..." Shin jian knew he could not win against her and limped into the toilet.

Usually, the toilets in the hospital will have hooks for hanging the drip bottle. But Shin jian and Xu Fanqia looked around and did not see the hooks. It was embarrassing, and both of them paused for a second before Xu Fanqia closes the door behind her and lifted the toilet seat. She raised the bottle of drip above her head and turned towards the wall. "Hurry. I will not look at you."

Shin jian almost died from the embarrassment. "Errr... I... You..."

"What are you shy of?" Xu Fanqia turned and stared at him. "Hurry!"

Shin jian almost cried when he saw Xu Fanqia turning and looking at him. He slowly untied his hospital pants but did not lower it.

"I will count to 3, and I will really hit you." Xu Fanqia said with her back facing him. "1... 2... 3...."

Shin jian gritted his teeth, lower his pants and start to pee.

The was the first time Shin jian felt that the splashing sounds of peeing were so embarrassing.

After the splashing sounds stopped, Xu Fanqia helped him flushed and helped him back to his bed. "Aunt had bought some bananas and apples on the way here. Which would you like to eat?"

Shin jian who just laid down replied. "It's fine."

"How can you not eat fruits? You need the vitamins." Xu Fanqia helped him peeled a banana and turned it to him. "Listen to me and open your mouth. Ah...." Shin jian thought to himself. This was also not the first time he embarrassed himself in front of Aunt Fanqia. He ignored the looks of the old man and his son and took a bite of the banana. Xu Fanqia laughed. "Good boy. Take one more bite. Ah..." Aunt Fanqia had one leg kneeling on the bed as she moved closer to Shin jian to feed the banana.

Xu Fanqia's knee which was covered in her skinned colored stockings moved under the warm blanket.

Shin jian could feel something warm and smoothed touch his hand. It was Xu Fanqia's leg!

Shin jian's mind started to wonder and said out the words again. "Aunt Fanqia, I really like you. Can you be my girlfriend?"

Xu Fanqia was stunned and her hand, holding the banana, froze in mid-air.

With the previous experience, Shin jian was more confident this time. "I have never met anyone as virtuous as you. I had fallen in love with you the first time we met. Aunt Fanqia, I know I am not good enough for you. But I really hope you will give me a chance."

Xu Fanqia blushed and placed the banana on the table. "It is too sudden. I... I am not prepared at all."

Shin jian was overjoyed. Aunt Fanqia did not say that he was not her type this time. Hahaha. Seems like becoming clean and tidy works. This was one more step to success. "I know it is sudden. But I really like you. Can you be my girlfriend?"

Xu Fanqia kept quiet.

"Can?"

After a while, she sighed. "I'm sorry Xiao jian. I have no intentions of dating now."

Although Shin jian knew that he will be rejected, but he can't help feeling disappointed. "Why? Am I not good looking enough? Is it my character or something else?"

Xu Fanqia shook her head and looked out of the windows. "There is nothing wrong with you. It's my problem. You are a good person." She paused for a second. "Do you remember what I said to you on the day you fetch me from work? I still have dreams of setting up my own company. I had been working hard for years for this dream. I do not want to be distracted by being in a relationship.

Shin jian asked: "Setting up your company? You should need at least 1 million RMB as capital? Is your salary at the newspaper agency enough?"

Xu Fanqia kept quiet.

Shin jian continued: "You will not date if you did not accomplish your dream?"

Xu Fanqia nodded. "That's what I decided. Sorry."

"Then after you have your own company will you be my girlfriend?" Shin jian asked.

Xu Fanqia's face turns red and got up. "I will ask the doctor about your condition."

Damn!

Was this a success?
