The afternoon dragged on slowly; Tang Xi picked up a book and sat by the bed to read.
Fu Tingzhou wanted to get out of bed, but Tang Xi stopped him.
"What are you trying to do? The doctor said you should rest as much as possible these days."
Fu Tingzhou lifted his chin, pointing in the direction of the restroom.
Tang Xi paused, then her face reddened slightly. She stood up, "Then I... I'll go find a nurse, or maybe a male assistant..."
Fu Tingzhou held onto her hand without letting go.
Tang Xi looked down, seeing his firm grip on her hand. Her voice was a bit tense, "Then..."
Fu Tingzhou flipped the blanket off and got out of bed; his legs were fine, but his sternum was fractured, which made movements like turning over slow. The main issue was the head injury. Head trauma could be minor or severe; Tang Xi watched him endure the pain of dizziness, raising her hand to support his arm.
A faint smile curved the corners of Fu Tingzhou's lips.
In the restroom.
