As he looked at the gradually diminishing visage of Menelko, a wave of pity surged up in Qin Hai"s heart. Although she was already the mother of two children and over thirty years old, she was still as charming as she was in the past. With her current condition, it would not be a problem for her to find another outstanding man to accompany her. As long as she was willing, the men who pursued her would be able to line up into a long line. However, to her, it was because the blow from Takashimoto Shizuka had dealt her was too great. It was likely that for a very long time, she would no longer believe in love, or even in a man. For her, perhaps loneliness was the only end.
What a blushing life. Thinking of this, Qin Hai couldn"t help but sigh.
After giving a ma.s.sage, Qin Hai took out a few acupuncture needles and gave her some moxibustion. The effect was very obvious. The temperature of Menai Zi quickly dropped, which also made Mei Ya and Mei Rou feel relieved.
After he was done, Qin Hai looked at Mei Ya and Mei Rou who had exhausted themselves. He hugged them and kissed them before saying with pity, "You guys can go rest. I"ll watch here."
Mei Ya and Mei Rou were truly exhausted and frightened. Now that Menai Zi"s condition had stabilized and Qin Hai had returned, it was as if they had put down a heavy burden. Their bodies and minds all relaxed and a sense of sleepiness immediately a.s.saulted them.
However, they couldn"t bear to leave Qin Hai"s embrace. Like two obedient kittens, they curled up in Qin Hai"s embrace, enjoying Qin Hai"s comfort. It was as if as long as Qin Hai was by their side, they didn"t have to worry or be afraid of anything.
After a while, when Qin Hai took a closer look, Mei Ya and Mei Rou had both fallen asleep. He didn"t know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only put them on the bed to have a good rest.
As he covered the two girls with the blanket, the beauty who was still unconscious suddenly struggled violently, her hands also scratching in the air. Qin Hai rushed over to grab her hands and shouted, "Miss Menaizi, Miss Menaizi!"
Maybe it was because she had finally grabbed onto something, or maybe it was because of Qin Hai"s shout, but she quickly put her hands back down, but she was still in a deep slumber. It was obvious that she was having a nightmare.
Qin Hai channeled zhen yuan into Menaizi"s body once again. Gradually, Menaizi"s tightly knitted eyebrows relaxed, and her breathing became even and long.
However, just as Qin Hai was about to pull his hand out, Menaizi suddenly tightened her grip on his hand and muttered, "Don"t go, Mister Lin, don"t go!"
Qin Hai was stunned, then he couldn"t help laughing. He didn"t expect that Menai Zi would still keep thinking about him and even dream about him.
He quickly recalled the night when he was heavily injured and unconscious a few days ago. Menaizi must have taken care of him wholeheartedly for the entire night. The pity in his heart was immediately taken care of, and his gaze towards Menaizi also became much gentler.
Time pa.s.sed quietly. Unknowingly, the sky gradually darkened, and Qin Hai had always been by her side, accompanying her. Furthermore, his hand had always been tightly clenched by her.
Suddenly, Qin Hai, who was cultivating wholeheartedly, felt something and opened his eyes. He saw Mencius" eyelashes twitch a few times before she slowly opened her eyes.
"Are you feeling any better, Miss Minnie?" Qin Hai asked with a smile.
Maybe it was because she had just woken up, but her mind was still not clear. When she saw Qin Hai, she joyfully shouted, "Mister Lin, you"re back!"
In fact, just as Qin Hai had guessed, Menaizi had just had a dream. She dreamt that she had fallen into the ice-cold water and was almost drowned. It was Qin Hai who had suddenly appeared and saved her from the water. In her dreams, Lin Tian"s hands were so powerful, so warm, making the desperate Mencius feel so safe. She kept tightly holding onto Lin Tian"s hand, not daring to let go for a moment, as she was afraid that if she let go of his hand, she would once again fall into the ice-cold water, sinking back into endless fear and despair.
But, as her consciousness gradually cleared, Menai Zi suddenly froze. She discovered that the person sitting beside the sickbed wasn"t the Lin Tian she had just dreamed of, but her daughter"s boyfriend, Qin Hai. Furthermore, what she was tightly holding wasn"t Lin Tian"s hand, but Qin Hai"s hand.
Her face suddenly turned red and she quickly let go of Qin Hai"s big hand. Thinking that she had held her daughter"s boyfriend"s hand and even said some shameless words in her sleep, she felt ashamed and wanted to hide in her blanket.
"Qin... Mr. Qin, thank you for taking care of me! " She did not dare to focus her gaze on Qin Hai at all. Instead, she embarra.s.sedly looked to the side. At this moment, she also saw Mei Ya and Mei Rou lying beside her. She felt even more ashamed, as if she, her mother, had just stolen something from them.
After a moment of astonishment, Qin Hai felt relieved and said with a smile, "There"s no need to be so polite. Miss Menaizi, where else do you feel uncomfortable with?"
She shook her head quickly and said with a flushed face, "I"m fine now. Mr. Qin, you should go and rest. You have troubled yourself!"
At this moment, Mei Ya and Mei Rou woke up when they heard their voice. Seeing that Menai Zi was already awake, they were all extremely happy and started chattering non-stop around her.
Qin Hai knew Menai Zi was thin-skinned, so he felt too embarra.s.sed to face him right now. Thus, he smiled and left the room.
As she saw Qin Hai leave the room, she secretly let out a sigh of relief. However, she then forced a smile and said, "What is this?"
