Power and Wealth Chapter 41

Power and WealthChapter 41 – Second confession!

Morning.

9 am.

Drip, drip, drip…… The needle of the drip was injected intoDong Xuebing’s wrist. It was excruciating. Qu Yunxuan had nothing much to do inthe ward, and she took his keys. She left for his home to help him bring histowels, underwear, socks, etc. She also needs to help him bring a set of cleanclothes. The newly bought suit and shoes were all damaged in the fire.

After Qu Yunxuan left, the nurse who was inserting the driplaughed: “Your aunt is so pretty.”

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

Dong Xuebing felt proud. It was as if they were praisinghim.

Qu Yunxuan returned before 11 am with a small suitcase. Shehad brought clothes, toothbrush, shampoo, plates, etc. along with her andpacked everything into the small cabinet beside Dong Xuebing’s bed. She wassweating and panting. But she did not stop. She lifted Dong Xuebing’s blanketand change his socks for him. After that, she took a plastic basin and soap tothe washroom to help wash his dirty socks.

Dong Xuebing was touched. ‘Aunt Xuan, rest for a while.”

Qu Yunxuan turned and smiled. She still had foams on herhands. “I am not tired. You stop moving about. You are still on a drip.”

“Ok.”

Aunt Xuan was squatting down washing the clothes, and herback was facing Dong Xuebing. Her clothes were pulled up slightly, exposing herlower back. Dong Xuebing’s eyes were glued to her back. Maybe he was imaginingsomething naughty and suddenly had the urge to pee. He looked at the bottle ofdrip hang above him. There were at least half a bottle more. It will last atleast half an hour more. He tried to control the urge, but could not stand itanymore. He endured the pain in his shoulders and legs and slowly got off thebed to wear his slippers.

Qu Yunxuan who had finished washing his socks was shocked.“What are you trying to do?”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “I need to go to the toilet.” Hereached out to grab the drip.

“Stop moving. You are not allowed to move.” Qu Yunxuanhurriedly washed her hands. “The drip is attached to your moveable hand. Youcannot carry the drip with that hand.”

It was hard for Dong Xuebing to visit the toilet yesterday.Today, it was harder with the drip. Dong Xuebing also knew that he was notallowed to move. But it was embarrassing for him to ask Aunt Xuan to help him.“It’s fine. I will be out in a minute to help you.” Dong Xuebing ignored herand pressed the drip’s valve, stopping the drip. He carried the bottle andlimped towards the toilet.

Qu Yunxuan walked towards him angrily. “Why can’t you listento me? You want me to hit you?” She took the bottle from him and helped him tothe toilet. “Don’t try to be a hero. Come, I will help you.”

Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly: “It’s okay. I can do itmyself.”

Qu Yunxuan waved her hand: “You want me to hit you? Hurry upand go!”

“Ok……” Dong Xuebing knew he could not win against her andlimped into the toilet.

Usually, the toilets in the hospital will have hooks forhanging the drip bottle. But Dong Xuebing and Qu Yunxuan looked around and didnot see the hooks. It was embarrassing, and both of them paused for a secondbefore Qu Yunxuan closes the door behind her and lifted the toilet seat. Sheraised the bottle of drip above her head and turned towards the wall. “Hurry. Iwill not look at you.”

Dong Xuebing almost died from the embarrassment. “Errr…… I……You……”

“What are you shy of?” Qu Yunxuan turned and stared at him.“Hurry!”

Dong Xuebing almost cried when he saw Qu Yunxuan turning andlooking at him. He slowly untied his hospital pants but did not lower it.

“I will count to 3, and I will really hit you.” Qu Yunxuansaid with her back facing him. “1…… 2…… 3…….”

Dong Xuebing gritted his teeth, lower his pants and start topee.

The was the first time Dong Xuebing felt that the splashingsounds of peeing were so embarrassing.

After the splashing sounds stopped, Qu Yunxuan helped himflushed and helped him back to his bed. “Aunt had bought some bananas andapples on the way here. Which would you like to eat?”

Dong Xuebing who just laid down replied. “It’s fine.”

“How can you not eat fruits? You need the vitamins.” QuYunxuan helped him peeled a banana and turned it to him. “Listen to me and openyour mouth. Ah…….” Dong Xuebing thought to himself. This was also not the firsttime he embarrassed himself in front of Aunt Xuan. He ignored the looks of theold man and his son and took a bite of the banana. Qu Yunxuan laughed. “Goodboy. Take one more bite. Ah……” Aunt Xuan had one leg kneeling on the bed as shemoved closer to Dong Xuebing to feed the banana.

Qu Yunxuan’s knee which was covered in her skinned coloredstockings moved under the warm blanket.

Dong Xuebing could feel something warm and smoothed touchhis hand. It was Qu Yunxuan’s leg!

Dong Xuebing’s mind started to wonder and said out the wordsagain. “Aunt Xuan, I really like you. Can you be my girlfriend?”

Qu Yunxuan was stunned and her hand, holding the banana,froze in mid-air.

With the previous experience, Dong Xuebing was moreconfident this time. “I have never met anyone as virtuous as you. I had fallenin love with you the first time we met. Aunt Xuan, I know I am not good enoughfor you. But I really hope you will give me a chance.”

Qu Yunxuan blushed and placed the banana on the table. “Itis too sudden. I…… I am not prepared at all.”

Dong Xuebing was overjoyed. Aunt Xuan did not say that hewas 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?”

Qu Yunxuan kept quiet.

“Can?”

After a while, she sighed. “I’m sorry Xiao Bing. I have nointentions of dating now.”

Although Dong Xuebing knew that he will be rejected, but hecan’t help feeling disappointed. “Why? Am I not good looking enough? Is it mycharacter or something else?”

Qu Yunxuan shook her head and looked out of the windows. “Thereis nothing wrong with you. It’s my problem. You are a good person.” She pausedfor a second. “Do you remember what I said to you on the day you fetch me fromwork? I still have dreams of setting up my own company. I had been working hardfor years for this dream. I do not want to be distracted by being in arelationship.

Dong Xuebing asked: “Setting up your company? You shouldneed at least 1 million RMB as capital? Is your salary at the newspaper agencyenough?”

Qu Yunxuan kept quiet.

Dong Xuebing continued: “You will not date if you did notaccomplish your dream?”

Qu Yunxuan nodded. “That’s what I decided. Sorry.”

“Then after you have your own company will you be mygirlfriend?” Dong Xuebing asked.

Qu Yunxuan’s face turns red and got up. “I will ask thedoctor about your condition.”

Damn!
