Chapter 68 Feeling Hurt After Being Pushed

Murong Xue pondered for a while. She was now Shangguan Mo's girlfriend. Since his sister was in hospital, she should also go to visit her. "Mo, I'll cook some porridge and bring it to the hospital later. I'm available today. I'll go to visit Xueli. The food outside is not as good as that we cooked."

Shangguan Mo smiled on the other end of the line, feeling warm in his heart. "Thank you, honey!"

"Okay, see you later!" Murong Xue hung up.

Murong Xue took out fruit, vegetables, and a chicken from Space. Now Murong Xue's Space was full. The output was growing too fast. Murong Xue planned to go back after two days. She got plenty of things to deal with in the company. She also intended to produce things in Space. In addition, her family made many phone calls to her. She had been away from A province for a long time. It was nearly a month.

She cooked two breakfasts ― one for Bai Xueli and the other for Shangguan Mo. He had been in the hospital since last night, so she thought that he probably didn't eat breakfast this morning. Also, he sounded a bit tired on the phone, which made her feel distressed. She added spiritual water to the porridge, which could relieve fatigue a little. But she only added a little bit, which was not easy to detect.

An hour later, Murong Xue arrived outside the ward of Bai Xueli. She knocked on the door and heard Shangguan Mo's unique voice coming from inside, "Come in!"

Murong Xue smiled and walked in, "Does Xueli feel any better?" Murong Xue asked about Bai Xueli when she entered the door, but she didn't expect to see Bai Xueli holding Shangguan Mo's hand tightly, which made the smile freeze on her lips undetectably.

No one else saw it, but Bai Xueli noticed it. She felt pleased. "Miss Murong came. How could I trouble you?" Her tone sounded polite and alienated.

Murong Xue didn't care. After all, the two of them were not familiar with each other. She merely raised the thermos in her hands, saying, "Ha-ha, I brought you breakfast. I bet you guys haven't eaten breakfast yet."

Shangguan Mo smiled happily, pulled out his hand which was held by Bai Xueli, stepped forward to take the thermos from Murong Xue, and hugged her. "Thank you, honey."

"It's fine. You should have called me here last night. You are exhausted. Have some breakfast and go back to have a rest."

Looking at the two talking to each other, Bai Xueli seemed calm on the surface, but her fingernails under the quilt were deeply pierced into her hand. Only by holding herself tightly could she prevent herself from losing control.

She couldn't bear to look at them anymore. Bai Xueli reluctantly resisted her displeasure and said faintly, "Miss Murong, I'm really sorry that you have to take all the trouble. Ms. Fang has already gone to buy breakfast for us. Don't bother to cook breakfast next time..." Bai Xueli thought that it was best that she wouldn't come anymore, for she disliked Murong Xue so much.

After hearing this, Murong Xue released Shangguan Mo and took out the two thermos bottles in the bag. She gave one of them to Shangguan Mo. And she was about to take the other one to pour food for Bai Xueli. "Mo, you can have breakfast first. This one is for you. I'll take the other one to Xueli."

Shangguan Mo nodded and sat down in front of the table to eat. He was really hungry.

Murong Xue adjusted Bai Xueli's bed to an appropriate position and then moved the dining table rack equipped with the bed to the front of Bai Xueli. She then carefully poured a bowl of meat porridge and brought it to Bai Xueli.

All of a sudden, she didn't know what happened. Bai Xueli took the bowl, and her hand slipped. The hot porridge turned over, pouring on the hands of Bai Xueli and Murong Xue.

Bai Xueli let out a loud cry, "Aargh! It's so hot!"

Shangguan Mo raced to them and pushed Murong Xue away, "What's the matter, Xueli?"

When he pushed, he didn't control his strength. In addition, Murong Xue was suddenly scalded and didn't realize what was going on. She was pushed to the ground and her head hit the cabinet, feeling a sharp pain.

Bai Xueli kept crying that she was in pain, so Shangguan Mo didn't notice that he had pushed Murong Xue. He could only see Bai Xueli's red and swollen hands. As Bai Xueli's eyes were filled with tears, Shangguan Mo felt a burst of anger. He turned around and said, "What's the matter with you? You…" But he was dumbfounded after seeing Murong Xue.

When he finally came to his senses and wanted to come forward to help Murong Xue up, Zhang Linli who just walked in and saw the whole process quickly held Murong Xue up. He saw that her head was injured and her hands were red and swollen. For the first time in his heart, he was angry at his good friend. "Xue, let's go. You hit a little hard. I'll bandage it for you in the next room first."

Although Murong Xue knew that Shangguan Mo didn't do it on purpose, the pain in her head was no better than the pain in her heart at this time. He pushed her. This subconscious behavior made her sad even more. She didn't want to stay here. She was afraid that she could not help crying and becoming melodramatic. She nodded, walking out with Zhang Linli who was holding her hand.

The moment Shangguan Mo wanted to chase her, Bai Xueli suddenly grabbed his clothes, "Mo, my hand hurts. Aargh!"

He saw that it was really serious, and his good friend had already gone to help Murong Xue bandage. However, he was the only one who could accompany Bai Xueli here, so he could only restrain his anxiety and called a doctor to help Bai Xueli bandage.

After the doctor finished the bandage, Shangguan Mo asked about what just happened, "Xueli, what happened just now? How could the porridge be turned over?"

The rims of Bai Xueli's eyes were red with crying. She muttered under her breath, "Mo, I don't know. I just wanted to reach for it, and then the porridge suddenly turned over."

Shangguan Mo frowned. As far as he knew, Murong Xue was not a careless person. Maybe her hand slipped accidentally. Recalling that she remained silent when she had just fallen to the ground, Shangguan Mo felt a pain in his heart and blamed himself. He really wanted to punch himself now.

Looking at Shangguan Mo's depressed look, Bai Xueli was slightly displeased and then changed to a cautious look. "Brother, don’t you think Miss Murong dislike me? The last time she helped me with acupuncture, she also had a cold face. Will she think that I am annoying?" Bai Xueli said and then began to cry as if she had felt aggrieved.

Shangguan Mo's face turned cold. "Don't talk nonsense. Xue is not such a person. If you get along with her for a long time, you will know how good she is. It's just that sometimes her expression is a little cold..." Shangguan Mo remembered that when he first saw Murong Xue, she looked distant and prevented everyone from approaching.

Seeing that Bai Xueli's wound had been bandaged, Shangguan Mo wanted to get up to check on Murong Xue.

Bai Xueli seemed to feel something, so she gently pulled the sleeve of Shangguan Mo. "Brother, my hand hurts so much. Ms. Fang hasn't come back yet, but I'm a little hungry. Can you feed me?"

Shangguan Mo looked at her hands wrapped up tightly. She really couldn't feed herself anything. He had to retreat and took a bowl of porridge again. He merely wanted to let Bai Xueli finish eating quickly so that he could go to see Murong Xue.

In the ward next door,

Murong Xue quietly let Zhang Linli bandage her wound. It was obvious that she was seriously injured, but she did not give a loud cry.

Zhang Linli carefully examined her injured head, which had swollen. And there was a bit of blood oozing out. He couldn't believe Shangguan Mo pushed her with such great strength. At that moment, he just entered the door and saw Murong Xue pouring porridge. It was Bai Xueli who inexplicably turned over her hand and caused the porridge to spill on the hands of both of them. He knew that Bai Xueli was not a good person.

Looking at the quiet look of Murong Xue, he suddenly had a faint sympathy in his heart. She must feel terrible to be pushed by someone she loved like this...

He couldn't help saying something to divert her thoughts. He didn't know why. Maybe it was the doctor's kindness. He didn't like to look at the lifeless appearance of Murong Xue. "Xue, is it still painful?" His tone was gentle, which undetectably sounded sorry for her.

Murong Xue just recovered from her sadness and smiled faintly, but the smile looked extremely wry. "It doesn't hurt, and thank you." She felt more pain in her heart. She even doubted if Shangguan Mo really liked her. If he liked her, how could he let her get injured? She knew she shouldn't be so petty, but she couldn't forget the moment when he asked Bai Xueli nervously and pushed herself away subconsciously.

"Don't laugh if you don't want to. He didn't mean it. He didn't notice it. Don't take it personally." Even Zhang Linli thought the explanation was a little feeble.

She thought, "Yeah. He didn't notice. Even after I came in for so long, he didn't come to see me." For the first time, she felt that the nervous look that Shangguan Mo had when he told her that he loved her was her fantasy. "I'm fine. I know he didn't mean it." But because of his subconscious actions, she felt more depressed. It seemed that she couldn't compare with his sister at all.

"By the way, I heard that you are a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine! When did you start to learn?" The dreary air made Zhang Linli feel a little uncomfortable, so he changed the topic instantly.

Speaking of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Murong Xue finally cheered up a little. "I have only studied for two years, and there are still many things I don't know. Mo told you that, didn't he?"

"What? You said that you only studied for two years! Are you the one who cured Bai Xueli?" He thought that she must have learned Traditional Chinese Medicine since she was a child. That was why she made such an accomplishment today. But she actually said that she had only studied for two years.

Of course, she was lying. She actually studied for hundreds of years, but could she say it out loud? Absolutely not! "You don't have to be so surprised. I just happen to know that this kind of acupuncture can stimulate brain cells and body function vitality. I'm not as good as you think." Murong Xue smiled modestly.
