Chapter 2082: Brother Chi Is Truly Crippled

Ye Wanting’s hand trembled, “Can you sit up?”

“I can, my legs are fine.”

His butt was also fine, but there was an injury at his tailbone, growing new flesh, itching terribly, so he usually didn’t like to sit.

Ye Wanting put down the cake, walked to the bedside, but didn’t know how to support him, “Should I go out and call someone?”

“No need, just lend me a hand.”

He extended a hand, Ye Wanting held his arm, carefully exerting strength, but found that Yaen Chi didn’t put any weight on her; he got down on his own.

His waist couldn’t stand straight, and his upper body leaned towards Ye Wanting.

She instinctively caught him from the front, but he was taller, so she had to tilt her head up, her chin pressing on his shoulder to make sure he was comfortable and didn’t fall; her hands froze on either side of his body, not daring to move, afraid of touching the wound on his back.

“Brother Chi?”

Yaen Chi wasn’t intentionally taking advantage of her; he was genuinely sprained, but this silly girl used her own body to catch him. How much strength did her small frame have? He was relying on his waist to support himself. He could have gotten up, but being held like this was quite comfortable.

His hands didn’t move around, only braced her back, slowly straightening up.

Ye Wanting carefully adjusted her position, initially planning to support just one of his arms, but then decided to help him more, half-dragging, half-holding him to sit on the chair.

It seems…

Brother Chi is truly crippled now.

Ye Wanting’s eyes were red; she turned away to take a deep breath, then picked up the remaining half of the mousse. She didn’t get a chair, just sat by the bed, spoon-feeding him. After finishing, she scooped the tart’s filling for him to eat, poked a hole at the bottom of a cream puff, and fed him the cream.

Yaen Chi was fed to the point of feeling nauseated, and he had the illusion that he was about to die, and before dying, she wanted to stuff him with all the delicious things.

When Ye Wanting dug another spoonful of cream, he raised his hand to block it, “That’s enough, I can’t eat anymore.”

“There’s still a lot left.”

“I really can’t eat anymore, keep it and take it back to eat yourself.”

“Okay.”

Ye Wanting didn’t force him; she collected the trash from the bedside table, threw away the spoon he used, and then told him there’s still a spoon in the bag. If he wanted to eat, he should tell her.

Yaen Chi glanced at her.

Who actually wants to eat such sweet things, wasn’t it just an excuse to humor her?

“Read a book to me.”

Yaen Chi took a copy of “Dream of the Red Chamber” from the drawer, leaving Ye Wanting stunned, “Do you read this?”

She assumed Yaen Chi would either read “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” or “Water Margin,” how come he chose this one.

Yaen Chi was annoyed too. The book was given by Li Jian, meant to relieve boredom. Yaen Chi flipped through it and found many typos, especially in the copy of “Journey to the West.” After asking, he found out Li Jian bought it from a street stall for ten yuan, and he felt even ten yuan was not worth it, so he haggled it down to eight Yuan.

Who would believe that you could get all four classic novels for eight yuan?

Clearly bootleg.

Yaen Chi couldn’t be bothered to read it and locked them all in the drawer.

Just now, he grabbed the top one at random, but kept a steady face, “Just read anything, the book’s a bootleg, just to kill time.”

Ye Wanting immediately put it down, “Wait for me a moment.”

Yaen Chi knew what she intended to do, reached out to grab her hand, “Don’t go buying one, I won’t read them either, just find something to read to me.”

Ye Wanting thought of the two medical books in her bag.
