After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?-Chapter 183: Pretending to Be Weak

Shen Qingqing didn’t know when Madam Jiang would come to switch shifts.

The morning was busy, so the atmosphere wasn’t as awkward.

In the afternoon, there was no need for rehabilitation. With just her and Jiang Zhixun in the ward, it felt uncomfortable.

Sitting on the stool, she didn’t speak or do anything else. The air was extremely quiet.

Jiang Zhixun wanted to talk to Shen Qingqing but couldn’t find a topic.

He had to find something to do.

"Ahem..."

He cleared his throat awkwardly, "Qingqing, I want to go to the bathroom."

Jiang Zhixun couldn’t see, and needed someone to support him while he walked.

Fortunately, the ward had a private bathroom, which greatly facilitated his daily needs.

As the caregiver, Shen Qingqing had anticipated this situation.

She bent down, placed his slippers properly.

Instructed him to put them on himself.

Then extended her arm forward, "Hold on."

Jiang Zhixun groped to hold her arm, looking weak and helpless, "You won’t let go of me, right?"

Shen Qingqing had a soft spot and couldn’t resist, even though she knew he was pretending, she still hummed in agreement, not letting his words fall flat.

After two steps, Jiang Zhixun raised his arm and directly looped it around Shen Qingqing’s neck.

When she made a sound of displeasure, he quickly said, "I think this is more stable."

The man was tall and upright, and his muscles weren’t just for show. Though he looked lean, he wasn’t light at all.

Shen Qingqing was almost breathless under the pressure.

Pushing against Jiang Zhixun’s waist, she wanted him to move away a bit, "Do you know how heavy you are?"

To Jiang Zhixun, her tiny pushes were just like a tickle.

His waist was a bit sensitive, and her push made him feel like a current surged through.

A tingling sensation spread throughout his body.

His chest felt a bit flustered too.

All his senses concentrated on that spot.

Afraid Shen Qingqing would notice his unusual state, Jiang Zhixun hugged her shoulder, trapping her, "Is this better?"

Shen Qingqing felt he was doing it on purpose.

Not indulging him, she suddenly squatted down and broke free.

In that posture, she quickly moved a few steps away.

Jiang Zhixun was stunned.

He did intend to tease Qingqing, and had expected she might push him away.

But didn’t expect her to react this way.

He grasped at the air, touching nothing.

Shen Qingqing squatted on the ground, looked up at him, and saw the confusion on the man’s face clearly.

Suddenly felt a bit excessive.

After all, his eyes were still blind...

Seeing Jiang Zhixun take a step forward, Shen Qingqing’s heart instantly rose to her throat.

No time to think, she quickly stood up to support him.

But was caught by the man in an embrace, he didn’t control his strength well, causing Shen Qingqing to stumble back two steps.

Considering Jiang Zhixun’s current situation, Shen Qingqing rarely got angry.

She asked him, "Are you okay? Can you stand steady?"

In a view she couldn’t see, Jiang Zhixun slightly curled his lips.

Qingqing was really trusting.

When blind, one’s balance might be affected.

But he was a pilot, trained in professional balance exercises, roller wheels, spiral staircases... were his routine training.

Even if he couldn’t see, his balance wouldn’t be utterly lost.

Jiang Zhixun admitted he was shameless, not caring about face to win back the girl he liked.

Pretending not to stand steadily, he hugged Shen Qingqing again.

Nuzzled her hair, "Sorry."

Shen Qingqing endured the awkward feeling, holding onto Jiang Zhixun’s arm, withdrawing from his embrace while preventing him from falling.

As her soft body moved away, Jiang Zhixun’s expression showed a moment of disappointment.

But he dared not repeat the act.

Being too deliberate would surely reveal the trick!

Letting Shen Qingqing support his arm, she led him to the bathroom.

With a few short steps, Shen Qingqing had the urge to sweat.

Finally guiding him to the destination, she was ready to leave.

But feeling slightly worried, "You probably won’t fall, right?"

Jiang Zhixun didn’t answer, but asked, "Are you leaving?"

"What else?"

Shen Qingqing silently backed off half a step, "Men and women differ, Mr. Jiang, please mind yourself."

Mind yourself.

Jiang Zhixun pondered these words repeatedly in his mind.

His sweetheart didn’t want him anymore, what was he supposed to mind about?

He said woefully, "When you had your accident, lying on the hospital bed, I helped you wipe your body every day, even during your period, I helped you change the sanitary paper, washed your underwear, and also..."

These details were long forgotten by Shen Qingqing.

Hearing Jiang Zhixun recount them, they inexplicably carried a sense of shame.

Her face reddened.

The temperature gradually rose.

"That’s all in the past, can you stop bringing it up?"

Jiang Zhixun nodded, "I just want to say, you can just treat me as a patient, no need to see me as a man. Special situations deserve special treatment." freeweɓnovel~cѳm

He then added, "You said the same thing when I was taking care of you."

It’s confirmed.

He was intentionally teasing her.

Shen Qingqing didn’t want to deal with him anymore, "Either hold it in, or wet your pants!"

Jiang Zhixun: "..."

Just as he was about to say more, footsteps sounded, she had already left the bathroom.

Ultimately worried about leaving Jiang Zhixun alone inside, Shen Qingqing didn’t close the door.

Feeling her face, it was still hot.

Muttering a curse, "Scoundrel!"

Jiang Zhixun: "..."

He hadn’t even done his most desired act yet, how was he a scoundrel?

Due to this awkward moment, Shen Qingqing didn’t want to help care for Jiang Zhixun anymore.

Even if the elders stepped in, she didn’t want to take the task again.

So when Madam Jiang came to the hospital to deliver food, Shen Qingqing proactively suggested, "Starting tomorrow, after class, I’ll head back to the compound. I’ll handle buying groceries and cooking, and you just focus on staying with Brother Zhixun."

Madam Jiang looked hesitantly, "Did Zhixun upset you?"

As she spoke, she patted her son’s arm, "I told you to listen to Qingqing, why did you fall back into your old habits?"

Jiang Zhixun felt he behaved quite well.

Whatever she asked him to do, he did.

Later, when she didn’t want to talk to him and asked him to sleep, he really lay in bed the entire afternoon.

Was there any man more obedient than him?

He spoke with a muffled voice, "Work is important, no need to run back and forth."

Having her accompany him is fulfilling enough.

There’s no need to be busied by him; that’d be really tiring.

Jiang Zhixun’s expression was calm, not as if he was speaking ironically.

He had a proper attitude, and Shen Qingqing was willing to speak reasonably.

"Aunty is just one person, running back and forth between the hospital and home would surely be stretched thin. With grandpa alone at home, I wouldn’t be at ease. Anyway, the doctor said you’re just temporarily blind. Once you recover, I won’t come anymore."

Madam Jiang said, "Qingqing, then it would trouble you."

Shen Qingqing shook her head, "It’s not a trouble."

The Jiang Family raised her for many years, and during the time she went abroad, she even spent a significant amount of Jiang Zhixun’s money.

Both emotionally and rationally, she should lend a hand during times like this.

After dinner, there was still plenty of time.

With Madam Jiang around, Shen Qingqing didn’t want to stay longer.

"Aunty, I’ll head back to school first."

Madam Jiang glanced at her, then at her son sitting on the sickbed.

She sighed silently.

In the end, didn’t insist on keeping Shen Qingqing, personally escorting her downstairs, only then returning to the ward.

"So, is there any progress with Qingqing?"

Jiang Zhixun: "Nope."

Madam Jiang couldn’t hold herself back, blurting out two words, "Useless!"

Jiang Zhixun: "..."
