At night, Ou Li suddenly felt a stomachache. She had just had her period, so the pain was definitely not caused by her period.

Her stomach was churning, and she quickly got up and ran to the bathroom to vomit.

After vomiting was not enough, she felt like she was going to have diarrhea, so she quickly sat on the toilet. After finally getting rid of the diarrhea, she felt like vomiting again.

After repeated vomiting and diarrhea several times, her hands and feet became weak. She knew she had gastroenteritis and had to go to the hospital.

She gritted her teeth and persisted, opened the door and walked out, knocking on Ma Tao's door.

Ma Tao had just fallen asleep when he heard a knock on the door. Teng jumped out of bed, opened the door, and looked at Chu Li outside the door, "Is something wrong?"

"I... have a stomachache..."

Ou Li's vision went dark and she fainted.

"Chi Li? Chi Li?"

Ma Tao hugged Chu Li and walked out without caring about the pajamas she was wearing.

After getting in the car, he started the car and drove towards the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, Ma Tao rushed to the emergency room with Ou Li in his arms, "Doctor, she suddenly fainted."

"Put her on the crib quickly."

The doctor waited for Ma Tao to put Qu Li down, examined her, and wrote out a test sheet. "Initially, I suspect that she has eaten something bad and has gastroenteritis. I will prescribe an intravenous drip for her first."

“We had snail noodles and spicy crayfish at night.”

Ma Tao told the doctor, who nodded, "It's probably because the crayfish has not been properly processed. Some people's gastrointestinal function is weak, which can easily lead to gastroenteritis. After the IV drip is completed, the patient will be observed for one night. If there is no problem, he will be discharged."

"Thank you doctor."

Ma Tao and the nurse pushed Ou Li to the ward.

He didn't expect that his kind invitation to Chu Li to eat together would cause her to get gastroenteritis.

Seeing her pale face, he felt uncomfortable.

An hour later, after one bottle of intravenous drip was finished, Ou Li slowly woke up.

"Are you awake? Do you still feel sick in your stomach?"

Ma Tao held Chu Li's hand and looked at her with concern.

"Much better."

Chu Li pursed her lips, feeling a little thirsty.

"Want a drink of water?"

Ma Tao reached out and poured half a cup of warm water, helped Chu Li up, and fed her to drink.

"Thanks."

Chu Li closed her eyes and put on an intravenous drip, which made her feel better, but she still felt weak.

"I'm sorry, it was me who hurt you. The doctor said that it was suspected that the crayfish was not handled properly and you ate it and caused gastroenteritis."

Ma Tao raised his hand and stroked Chu Li's face, "Don't worry, I will take care of you in the hospital."

"Need not."

Ou Li turned her face to the other side to avoid Ma Tao's hand.

"Go and do your work, don't delay your work for me."

"You are already sick. How could I leave you in this unfamiliar hospital and let you receive treatment alone?"

Ma Tao frowned displeased, "I will call Mr. Gu and ask you to take two days of sick leave first, and then continue working after you are discharged from the hospital. We will stay here for two more days."

"All right."

Ou Li didn't refuse anymore. Ma Tao was willing to give up his job for her, which made her feel strange.

In my memory, there was a heavy rain and she just came out of the supermarket and called Ma Tao to ask Ma Tao to pick her up. But he refused because he was busy with work.

He also said that she was being hypocritical and could just hail a taxi and go home, so she had to call him.

Because it rained heavily and there were too many people blocking the taxi, she waited for a long time before getting into the taxi that day. When she got home, she realized that she was soaked all over.

She started to have a fever at night, but Ma Tao, who was sleeping next to her, didn't notice it at all.

She pushed him awake and asked him to help get the antipyretic medicine. But he said he was very sleepy and asked her to get it by herself. She gritted her teeth and got up, went to the living room to get the antipyretic medicine, drank it, and went to the guest room to sleep.

All night long, Ma Tao didn't notice that she hadn't returned to her room. It wasn't until he woke up the next day and saw her coming out of the guest room that he asked her in surprise if she had said anything during the night.

She smiled bitterly, shook her head and denied it. She said that she just thought he snored too noisily, so she slept with the client. But he didn't ask any more questions.

"Would you like some porridge? I'll buy it for you."

Ma Tao looked at Ou Li, "The doctor said you should eat lightly these days and drink some porridge to regulate your stomach."

"I'm not hungry."

Chu Li shook her head and closed her eyes, "I want to take a nap. You can go and do whatever you want."

"Okay, I'll be outside the ward so I won't disturb your rest."

Ma Tao opened the ward door and walked out, sitting on the bench and calling Gu Junzhe.

The bell rang several times before Gu Junzhe's voice came, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry for calling you in the middle of the night."

Ma Tao apologized first and then said, "Ou Li suddenly suffered from gastroenteritis and we are in the hospital now. I would like to ask you for two days of sick leave to let her have a good rest. We will postpone our return to Tingcheng for two days.

"

"How is she doing now?"

Gu Junzhe asked about Qu Li's condition with concern, "Don't worry about work, you should take care of her first."

"Thank you, Mr. Gu."

Ma Tao chatted with Gu Junzhe for a few words, hung up the phone, and sat on the bench in a daze.

In fact, ever since Chu Li said it was the first time he peeled crayfish for her, he had been reflecting on what he had done in the past.

Only then did he realize that it was Chi Li who had been taking care of him. He enjoyed it more and only treated her with perfunctory and accommodating things, and was even sometimes impatient with her attitude.

This marriage gave Chu Li not a sense of happiness, but a sense of exhaustion. That was why she filed for divorce after being disappointed again and again.

It was his fault, he took it too seriously.

This time the two of them came to the city, it was an opportunity to get to know each other again. He would make Chu Li change her view of him.

…

Early the next morning, Ou Li woke up and smelled the aroma of porridge. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ma Tao gently stirring the millet porridge with a spoon.

"Are you awake? Go wash up and have some porridge."

Ma Tao helped Ou Li get up, raised the IV bottle, and went to the bathroom with her.

"I talked to the doctor. The doctor said that your test results are not very good, and you have to stay in the hospital for a day of intravenous drip."

"oh."

Ou Li responded and started brushing her teeth and washing her face.

"I have asked Mr. Gu for leave. You can rest in peace and recuperate these two days."

Ma Tao raised the IV bottle, waited for Ou Li to finish washing, then helped her back to the hospital bed, and propped the small table on the hospital bed.

"Here, you can have porridge with some side dishes."

"Um."

Ou Li drank the porridge silently with a few side dishes. She only ate half a bowl of porridge and couldn't finish it.

Ma Tao finished the remaining side dishes and porridge and packed the lunch box.

"The sun is pretty good. Do you want to go downstairs to bask in the sun?"

"good."

Chu Li nodded. She had been lying there for so long and her back ached.

Ma Tao held the intravenous bottle high with one hand and held Ou Li's waist with the other hand as he walked out of the ward and towards the elevator.

Chu Li did not push Ma Tao away. She told herself that it was because she was sick and wanted someone to rely on.
