Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 861 - 860: Working Out at Home

After a long silence, the three people in the ward unanimously chose to selectively forget about Mrs. Zhen’s phone call.

Zhen Yan went out to throw away some food waste, and when he came back, he joked with his sister, "Hey, little sister, it seems like we’ve taken over this hospital! I just saw on the corridor, lots of wards have their lights off."

Han Mingyue nodded in agreement, "Those wards still have people during the day! But once they finish their IV drips, anyone who can go home will head back home."

Zhen Yan nodded knowingly, "Xiao Yu’s medication started this morning and isn’t done yet! I wonder if it’ll last all night? Shall we ask the nurse later?!"

"Yeah! Let’s ask! If it lasts all night, I’ll watch the first half. You get some early sleep, and wake up early to take over in the morning."

"Alright!" Zhen Yan wasn’t picky at all since he exercises every morning, waking up at 5 a.m. is already his habit.

So, getting up at three or four tomorrow morning is no problem, though he’ll have to set an alarm...

Han Mingyue estimated that it’s been a long time since the last time they helped Zhen Yu turn over, so he instinctively checked his watch.

Turned out it’s already been nearly an hour!

So he said, "Zhen Yan!"

Zhen Yan was setting an alarm on his phone and looked up upon hearing this, "Huh? What’s up?"

"Hmm...I should help Xiao Yu turn over."

Zhen Yan reacted with an open mouth, then said, "...Ah! I’ll take a walk outside and ask about the IV drip."

"Can’t I not turn?" Zhen Yu protested weakly, facing away from the other two.

"Nope!"

Han Mingyue and Zhen Yan almost answered simultaneously with these two words! Hearing them, Zhen Yu reluctantly accepted her fate.

——

After Zhen Yu suffered through another turn, Zhen Yan came back not long after.

As soon as he entered the room, he announced, "The nurse said it might go until five or six in the morning! I’m going to sleep first."

Han Mingyue nodded, then asked Zhen Yu, "Do you want to sleep early too?"

Zhen Yu wasn’t actually sleepy but hesitantly asked, "If I fall asleep, does it mean I don’t have to be turned over?"

Han Mingyue promptly rolled his eyes at her, "Nice try."

Zhen Yu: "...Then I won’t sleep!"

"Fine with me, then you..."

Zhen Yu tentatively chimed in, "Watch you write?"

Han Mingyue’s expression immediately turned uneasy as he shook his head, "You, you can watch me play Minesweeper instead!

"Sounds good!" As long as there’s something to do, Zhen Yu isn’t picky.

So after the three of them washed up, Han Mingyue pulled up a chair by Zhen Yu’s bedside, turned on only a bedside lamp, and played Minesweeper for her.

After getting tired of Minesweeper, he switched to Solitaire, Spider Solitaire...

Of course, after Zhen Yan started snoring, Han Mingyue turned Zhen Yu over twice at the same intervals.

Until the night deepened, Zhen Yu finally felt a bit sleepy but still wasn’t at the point of falling asleep immediately.

So she had Han Mingyue set his computer aside and pulled him close to chat for a bit.

"What do you want to chat about?" Han Mingyue leaned down slightly at the bedside, almost head-to-head with Zhen Yu, speaking in a low voice.

Zhen Yu thought for a moment and replied softly, "Uh, I once felt your abs. Do you usually work out?"

"...Occasionally," Han Mingyue said.

——

Zhen Yu said seriously, "Once I recover from this illness, I want to start exercising again!"

Han Mingyue agreed, "You absolutely should! I’ll accompany you then."

Zhen Yu looked at him, her brows and eyes suddenly curving, extending her unbandaged right index finger to beckon him closer.

Han Mingyue didn’t move: "?"

Zhen Yu’s voice was somewhat elusive, her gaze equally so, "If you’re willing to accompany me... then let’s exercise at home instead!"

"??" Han Mingyue was puzzled, "How do you exercise at home?"

Zhen Yu didn’t answer, just quietly stared at him.

Two seconds later, Han Mingyue suddenly turned his head away, face flushed!

He never knew Xiao Yu could be so bold deep down...

Seeing his reaction, Zhen Yu hesitated for a moment.

But ultimately, she still asked, "How about it?"

"Not happening!"

As Han Mingyue spoke, he turned back to glare at her, carefully choosing his words, "You should do more outdoor exercises."

Somehow, Zhen Yu’s wires suddenly got crossed as she teased, "Outdoor? No way, I never knew you could be like this, Han Mingyue..."

"Cough! Cough cough!"

Han Mingyue choked on his own saliva.

How do the same two words change so much when she says them!

"Cut it out." Once he recovered, Han Mingyue quickly advised Zhen Yu to behave.

Yet Zhen Yu semi-seriously responded, "I’m not kidding! In this cold weather, I prefer indoor activities."

Han Mingyue felt utterly exhausted.

It constantly seemed like she said ’indoor activities’ with all sorts of implications.

But looking at her serious demeanor, he wondered if he was overthinking it this time?

"You should rest early and focus on recovering!"

"When I’m better, will you join me for home workouts?"

"..."

Finally, at his wits’ end, Han Mingyue leaned in and silenced her with a kiss.

——

After a brief kiss, Han Mingyue drew back a bit.

He carefully tucked the blanket snug around Zhen Yu’s shoulders and lightly tapped her on the head, "Get some sleep! Don’t let your mind wander."

Zhen Yu hadn’t quite recovered from the kiss, and merely responded with a surprised "Oh."

Han Mingyue chuckled lightly, straightening up as he reached out to turn off Zhen Yu’s bedside lamp, then headed towards the foot of the bed.

Just at that moment! Zhen Yu murmured in the dark, "I heard double exercises can regulate women’s hormones, not sure if it’s true..."

Han Mingyue nearly tripped over his own feet! So close to tumbling himself...

What was happening to her these days? How could she say anything that comes to mind!?

Luckily, Zhen Yan was sleeping like a dead log; otherwise, well! The only reason she dared say anything was because he was asleep!

She was teasing him on purpose from the start!!!

That cheeky girl! She’d truly been spoiled by him...

But what could Han Mingyue do about her?

He had to keep pampering his little wife, even if it meant humbling himself!

Pretending he hadn’t heard anything, Han Mingyue quietly took a deep breath and climbed into the middle hospital bed.

Sitting at the bedside, he turned on the bedside lamp, placed the computer on his lap.

He checked Zhen Yu’s IV situation again, roughly estimating when this bottle would finish before he began to gear up for some writing...
