Chapter 1178: They Were Both Old
She said lightly, and then put the handkerchief in the basin.
Lin Li wisely took the initiative to go back to the side.
At this time, Xia Jingshu pulled Lin Li’s sleeve and gave her a wink, signaling her to go out first. And she also let Aunt Yang push her out of the ward.
“I’ll go and see Xixi.” Xia Jingshu said to her son in the bed.
As a mother, she knew what her son was thinking, and she also hoped that her son could remarry with He Xiyan as soon as possible. In this way, her granddaughter could have a complete home, and she also had the hope to have her grandson one day.
She didn’t care who her son married. She agreed as long as her son liked, but she knew that He Xiyan was the only one in his heart. However, she just wanted her son to get married earlier.
After Xia Jingshu went out, there were only two of them who used to be a couple left in the ward.
He Xiyan wrung a piece of handkerchief dry, and then turned around and walked to the bed.
Under the white lamplight, her figure was dragged long. She squatted in front of the bed, a pair of clear water like eyes blinking constantly. It seemed that she had hesitated for some time before she bent down slowly and then gently put the handkerchief on his face that was no longer young.
When his face came into contact with the handkerchief, Ye Hao blinked his eyes several times. Under the lamplight, his amber eyes were as bright and deep as topaz.
After a while, there seemed to be some steam rising in his eyes, and her figure in his eyes blurred.
“Thank you, Yanyan.” Ye Hao’s voice was heavy, but simmering with some kind of joy.
He Xiyan, however, just slightly pursed her thin lips. Instead of answering, she only gently wiped his face.
“Old!” She whispered in her heart rather than speak out.
For a long time, she hadn’t observed his face so closely, and only today did she find that he had grown so many fine wrinkles around his eyes.
The traces of years pa.s.sing by were actually obvious on his face if seen closely.
As a matter of fact, even she herself, who had done skin care over the years with the most high-end skin care products and occasionally paid visits to beauty salons, also had fine lines around her eye corners.
They were both old.
He Xiyan changed another piece of handkerchief.
When she reached the bedside again, she lifted the quilt with her hand.
Then she gently put her hand on his chest, untied a b.u.t.ton, and then another one. When she got the third one, she suddenly opened her eyes wide because her hand had been held tightly by the man.
“Ye Hao…” He Xiyan was stunned, looking at his smiling face.
Ye Hao pursed his mouth corner nicely. The rising radian was just appropriate to make him smile look elegant and sweet with that smile.
“Yanyan, I…”
“Don’t talk.” Ye Hao was interrupted by He Xiyan when he was about to say something. At this moment, her heart beat faster. She didn’t even know that there was already a faint blush on her face.
“I’ll help wipe your body so that you can sleep better.” He Xiyan said in a deep voice.
In fact, she didn’t know why she did this. After all, the nursing workers could do it.
But at this time she was willing to take care of him.
Maybe it was because he suffered such a serious injury because of her. Han Xue’s target was her. If she was the one, she would be shot in the head judging by the direction the bullet came at that time. In that way, there was no doubt that she would die right away. Ye Hao was 28cm taller than her, so the bullet simply hit his back.
Soon, He Xiyan took off his coat, the blue sick clothes which looked loose on him.
