Capítulo 1288: Chapter 1288: Baby Chi’s Call
But she was a person with strong self-control, even though she was extremely uncomfortable, she still managed to eat half a bowl of porridge. She picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and suppressed the sour taste in her throat.
Suddenly.
A beautiful hand with distinct joints reached out in front of her, with two pills resting in the palm.
A man’s gentle voice came from above her head, “I checked the instructions, and this type of sober medication isn’t made from all-natural ingredients. Another brand is slightly better. But changing it now would be too troublesome, so just take two of these for now. Later, drink some yogurt, which also has sobering properties.”
He prepared hot porridge, medication, and yogurt. Chi Enen pressed her lips, not knowing what to say, “Thank you.”
In Xi Zelie’s eyes, a flash of bitterness passed, and he smirked, “No need to thank me, just take them to avoid feeling so uncomfortable.”
What he wanted wasn’t her gratitude.
Moreover, when she thanked him, it always seemed to create a sense of distance, as if she was deliberately drawing a line between them.
“Okay.”
Chi Enen took the medication from his palm and swallowed it with her head tilted back.
It might have been because she drank too quickly, the water choked her throat, immediately causing her to cough until her eyes turned red.
Xi Zelie gently patted her back a few times and asked with concern, “Feeling better?”
Chi Enen was indeed extremely uncomfortable, holding back the teary water, she nodded, “Yes, much better.”
Seeing her expression, Xi Zelie felt she didn’t look better at all. He personally inserted the straw into the yogurt and handed it to her, “Drink some of this, it will help.”
“…”
Chi Enen felt really embarrassed, but the yogurt was right in front of her, if she didn’t take it, it would only make things more awkward between them.
She hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it.
“Thank you.”
This was already the second time she said thank you today, and Xi Zelie’s lips pressed into a straight line. He used all of his self-control to refrain from asking her why she was being so formal.
Fortunately, at that moment, the person he had sent to buy clothes returned.
Xi Zelie said to the little lady at the corner, “You just sit and rest for a while, I’ll take you back after I change.”
“Okay.”
Saying this, he went out.
In the large private room, only Chi Enen was left.
Chi Enen rubbed the bridge of her nose, her stomach still had a churning feeling, it was unbearably uncomfortable.
However, compared to earlier, it was much better. At least now the discomfort was just discomfort, and she didn’t feel an overwhelming urge to vomit like before.
She had just picked up the yogurt, ready to drink some more to shake off the dizziness.
The mobile phone began to ring.
Bae Chi had forcibly set an exclusive ringtone for her mobile phone, whenever his phone call came through, it was always that song “Baby”, so she didn’t even need to check the incoming calls display to know who it was.
As the ringtone sounded, Chi Enen suddenly remembered she had forgotten to have a communal meal with Bae Chi tonight.
Oh no…
These two words had just floated through her mind.
She answered the phone, and sure enough, Bae Chi’s displeased voice immediately came through, “Woman, what time is it now, are you still not off work?”
Bae Chi was already over 7 years old now, his voice had lost the babyish tone, but hadn’t yet fully developed into a teenager’s drake voice, still maintaining the children’s innocent timbre.
But aside from the voice being childlike, his tone and content were that of an overbearing little adult.
“Where are you? Uncle Huo Yi and I will come pick you up!”
“No, no need, I’m coming back right now.”
