Chapter 354. How Can Love Be Explained? (1)
When Xi Mushan brought the bonsai to Xi Jiyang’s room, Xi Jiyang was about to sit down on the sofa with the help of a maid.
He was put on IV drips almost every day for the past few days and seemed out of energy and quite weak. He did not even have the strength to get up by himself.
Xi Mushan had already gotten on the phone with Doctor Li earlier to understand the situation. Xi Jiyang was in a bad way, or maybe it was also because of his bad mood that the effect of his recovery was minimal.
Xi Jiyang did not like hospitals and would not go to the hospital unless it was his last resort. Xi Mushan knew why this was the case. He heard that his mother had passed away during a difficult birth at the hospital, so Xi Jiyang resented the hospital a lot.
“Are you feeling better today?” Xi Mushan put the bonsai onto Xi Jiyang’s bedside cabinet so that he would be able to see it whenever he looked up.
Xi Jiyang sat down on the sofa. He inhaled strenuously, then said a little weakly as he waved for the maid to retreat, “Feeling much better. If you’re busy, you don’t have to come back. I know you don’t like how the atmosphere at home is like either.”
The maid knowingly bowed and then retreated, closing the door.
Xi Mushan walked up to Xi Jiyang and sat down on the sofa across him. He poured Xi Jiyang a cup of water.
Seeing the lonely expression on Xi Jiyang’s aged face, Xi Mushan felt bad too. He said with a frown, “Work is alright. You should let the maids bring you out to walk around more. The scenery in the backyard is quite good and will be helpful for your recovery. Breathe in some fresh air and maintain a brighter mood.”
