The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 335

"Sickness is such a thing, how long does it take you to get it, you have to spend an equal amount of time to cure it. It takes about a week to recover from a small cold, like poppies, but long-term depression leads to collapse. How could it be easy to get back to normal?" Yan Yu looked at Chu Xing, sneered behind the glasses, and said coolly while smiling, "I said, Young Master Chu, how many immoral things have you done to put How can a living person be forced into this?"

Chu Xing sat by Poppy's bed and stroked Poppy's hair.This action often happened between them, but this time Poppy shrank back to the depth of the bed, and Chu Xing's hand fell into the air.

His hands stopped, Poppy's two black eyes were watching him warily, her chin was buried in her arms, and her arms rested on her knees, her refusal was self-evident.Chu Xing moved his lips, retracted his hand, looked at her, and said in a low voice, "Poppy."

Yan Yu's lips curled up on one side, and the half-smile had a stronger meaning: "I used to think that Master Shang in City A was a scumbag. But now I think, compared with you, Young Master Chu, he is simply a scumbag." A saint with a halo on the back of his head. When others like someone, at least they all know how to give them a title. Where is it like you, Poppy can bear it until now and has not committed suicide, she is considered strong-willed."

Chu Xing looked at Poppy silently, and called her more slowly: "Poppy."

Poppy shrank herself even tighter, her eyes were not only vigilant, but there was also a little fear, her fingers were clutching her clothes, and the color of her nails had already started to turn white.Chu Xing watched for a while, but stopped making a sound.Yan Yu looked on coldly, but she didn't want to finish, and stabbed again: "Even if you call these two words a thousand times, she won't talk to you."

Chu Xing never turned his head away from the beginning to the end.Without raising his head, he said, "Lu Ming, invite Dr. Yan out."

Lu Ming, who was always standing in the corner without saying a word, sighed in his heart, stepped forward and made a gesture: "Doctor Yan, this way please."

Yan Yu glanced at him, sneered, raised her hand to straighten her sleeves, and then went out.

Lu Ming "invited" Yan Yu to the first floor, just as someone wanted to go upstairs with a small pastry, Yan Yu took two pieces from the tray, Lu Ming's eyebrows jumped, but he held back and said in a low voice: " Doctor Yan."

Holding the pastry in her hand, Yan Yu spared no time to glance at him: "What? You want to eat too? If you want to eat, get it yourself."

"...No, I won't eat it. I just want to ask..." Lu Ming Meifeng jumped again, hesitated for a moment, and asked solemnly, "Is Poppy really sick?"

Yan Yu stopped moving, raised an eyebrow, turned her head, and gave him a serious look.

Lu Ming knew that the person in front of him always had his eyes above his head, and he seldom looked at people with straight eyes.Both Chu Xing and Shang Yi dared to show their faces, but now that he was so willing to give him Lu Ming face, Lu Ming, who had always been very intuitive, suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing across his back.

Yan Yu crossed her arms, squinted, and smiled ambiguously: "What do you mean by that? I help Poppy lie to you? Do you think I'm full?"

"..."

Yan Yu adjusted her glasses and sneered: "I don't have the good intentions to interfere with your household affairs. Since you doubt me, it's fine, I just don't bother to treat you, so I leave. What's wrong with Poppy, don't come to me again .”

Yan Yu stepped down the stairs without looking back, and Lu Ming, who was sweating, grabbed him: "Dr. Yan, Yan, Dr. Yan! I was wrong! I was wrong! I shouldn't have asked! Don't! Don't!"

Yan Yu pulled the sleeve out of Lu Ming's hand, flicked the unnecessary dust on it, and then said coldly: "Poppy is like a drum. It feels airtight when you knock it back and forth. Accumulated to her critical point. Now that her critical point is reached, the drum is broken, and it is easy for you to think about recovering."

Yan Yu prescribed poppy medicine, and according to the doctor's instructions, he had to take it three times a day.But Poppy didn't cooperate at all.

When Chu Xing appeared in her sight with water and pills in hand, all her eyes were replaced by vigilance.When he got closer, she began to shrink back into the depths of the bed, vigilance mixed with fear.When he sat on the edge of the bed, Poppy shrank back further, and the fear in his eyes was beyond Chu Xing's expectation.

Chu Xing didn't move for a long time, and then whispered: "Poppy."

Poppy dragged the quilt to shrink herself tighter and smaller.

Chu Xing can't pull her by force, and can't push her further into a corner.After a while of silence, he raised one hand in a gesture of surrender, and his voice became lower and lower: "If I don't go there, just put the water here, and you can take the medicine yourself, okay?"

Poppy didn't seem to listen to him at all, and remained huddled there motionless.A quilt was tightly gathered around her body, but it seemed that she was still stiff and vigilant like a frightened oriole.

Chu Xing put down his water glass and stood up, looking at her while slowly backing away.When she retreated five meters away, Poppy seemed to have finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she still didn't dare to be careless. She huddled there wrapped in a quilt, staring at him with two eyes, and there was no hiding the emotion in her eyes. Hope he can stay out of the bedroom all the time.Chu Xing took a deep look at her, finally opened the door, and exited completely.

Chu Xing closed the door from the outside, stayed at the door for a while, and pushed the door panel open a thin crack.Looking inside, you can see Poppy hesitated for a while on the plate of pastries on the table, stretched out her hand, and when she was about to touch it, she suddenly glanced at the door, and even a small crack was covered by her. Seeing it, Chu Xing saw her hand shrinking back with a whoosh.

Chu Xing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and closed the door without saying a word.Just when the housekeeper came up, he said to him, "Master, Miss Jiang Mian is here."

Jiang Mian didn't know where he heard about Poppy so quickly, and Dang even rushed over.As soon as Chu Xing went downstairs, he saw Jiang Mian, dressed exquisitely, standing in the living room with a handbag in his hand. When he saw the figure turning down the stairs, he brushed his hair and whispered, "Master Chu, I'm here to visit Poppy. of."

Chu Xing glanced at her, the corners of his lips curled coldly, walked over and sat on the sofa, raised his hand to take the documents on one side, and ignored her.Jiang Mian's face suddenly lost, and she tried her best to maintain a calm face, but neither advanced nor retreated until she was almost unbearable, the housekeeper bowed to the side, and said slowly: "Miss Jiang, please come here with me." bring it on."

Jiang Mian glanced at him, bit her lip, and followed her upstairs.

Poppy's reaction when she saw Jiang Mian was much better than when she saw Chu Xing.Jiang Mian called her "A Pu" softly, and after calling her a few times in a row, Poppy's eyelids moved, her dark eyes gathered, a little dazed and ignorant, but she took a careful and quiet look at her.

This is the treatment that Chu Xing can't get at all.No matter whether Poppy's mind is good or bad, no matter how gentle his attitude is, her first reaction when she sees him is to avoid him.Chu Xing also tried to pull her once, but after she broke away violently, he stopped doing similar actions.

At first Chu Xing thought it was because she simply didn't want people to get close to her, but when he went upstairs after a while and saw Poppy's attitude towards Jiang Mian, he was completely speechless.

Jiang Mian sat by the bed, holding a piece of pastry in her hand, and while whispering something, broke the pastry into small pieces and fed them into Poppy's mouth one by one.Poppy leaned against the head of the bed and did not say a word, her eyes were downcast and she was surprisingly well-behaved. There were two small shadows buried by deep eyelashes on her delicate cheeks. Finally, he raised his eyelids again and looked at Jiang Mian wordlessly.

The butler stood aside, took the empty plate, leaned over slightly, and whispered something in Jiang Mian's ear. Jiang Mian glanced at Poppy, thought for a while, and took the pills on the bedside He and Qing Shui talked patiently and softly with Poppy for a while.

Chu Xing, who was hidden in the shadows, couldn't hear what she said.But from the angle behind the door, you can see the change in Poppy's eyes, from misty to resisting, and then gradually relieved. Chu Xing watched her eyebrows still furrowed, but she opened her mouth obediently, Down the pills and water that Jiang Mian fed.

Obviously, the patience and time he spent by her bed just now was more than twice what Jiang Mian spent now.

Chu Xing remembered that many years ago, when he occasionally had a fever and cold, Poppy was not particularly repulsive to taking medicine and injections.It's just that occasionally, when he is in front of him, he will toss with him, throw away the pills, and say some willful things like don't take it if it's too bitter.At that time, she had been in the Chu family for a year or two, and she had been brought up to be perfect and beautiful. No matter what she did, she looked good. Even if she was angry, she still had a little tenderness and beauty.Chu Xing said a few words to her, seeing that she refused to listen, he also smiled and compromised, asked someone to bring white sugar, wrapped the pills in a thick layer of white sugar, held her in his arms, and fed her himself .

After being indulged in this way twice, when Poppy made this kind of thing again, it happened to be visited by outsiders.Chu Xing didn't have time to deal with her. Seeing that she was not forgiving, he frowned and gave her a few words.As a result, Poppy ran out of Chu's house and wandered around for a whole day, and after returning, she gave him a cold face for two days.A few months later, when Poppy stood in front of Chu Xing for the fourth time, frowning and refusing to take the medicine, Chu Xing felt that this should not go on, his face darkened, and he said lightly: "I won't say the second over and over again. Take your medicine obediently."

Poppy finally saw his face that time.Chu Xing sat on the sofa with his hands crossed, watching her face slowly put away the arrogant look that had always been pampered, lowered his eyes and stood quietly for a while, then suffocated a handful of medicine on the spot in silence.

Chu Xing always thought that these were just trivial things, and he didn't pay much attention to them at that time, and he didn't even care about many things after that.It wasn't until a long time later that Poppy went to the southwest border to perform a mission, and she didn't return for a few days, and she was nowhere to be seen in Chu's house. When Chu Xing woke up one morning, he suddenly realized that Poppy had been missing for a long time. Follow the rules, and even have a degree of alienation, and did not do some arrogant things with him face to face.

He once cast indulgence like a net, and after it was firmly caught, he slowly let go of the net. Poppy was like a fish he had caught before. The fish was trapped in the net, but the net was no longer there. in his hands.

Chu Xing waited to see Jiang Mian coax Poppy to take all the pills before going downstairs.But after a while, Jiang Mian also came out, seeing him leaning on the sofa and flipping through documents, he hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "Master Chu, A Pu has already taken the medicine and fell asleep."

Chu Xing used a pen to mark out the dissatisfaction on the document, while casually saying: "Her name is Poppy."

Jiang Mian paused, and then said: "Just now I heard from the housekeeper that she refused to eat or drink after she came to Chu's house. If Young Master Chu is willing, I would like to take her back to Jiang's house."

Chu Xing still didn't raise his head: "This is her home."

Jiang Mian seemed to have expected his answer, smiled slightly, and continued: "Master Chu didn't want to let him go because he felt sorry for Poppy, and it was her blessing. But, Poppy refused to eat and drink well, and she was ill, so if this continues It's always bad. If Young Master Chu doesn't mind, I can come here once a day, and I'll go back after seeing her finish taking the medicine, what do you think?"

Chu Xing said lightly: "No need."

Jiang Mian paused, and Chu Xing casually threw the documents in his hand on the table.Jiang Mian looked down and felt stiff all over.

The title of that document had the word "Jiang's" very clearly written on it, and the content was exactly a land bidding matter that Jiang Xin was busy with recently.Chu Xing put his hands on his knees casually, watched Jiang Mian's face turn red and white, let her dry for a while, and then pressed another document onto the bidding letter as if nothing had happened, and said, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Jiang Mian opened her mouth, tried her best to calm down for a while, and then said: "...No. Master Chu, I'll take my leave first." After saying that, she quickly exited the living room as if there was a ghost behind her.

Chu Xing waited until the car was out of sight before returning to the second floor alone.Poppy slept quietly with her eyes closed, but she seemed to sense his breath. When he sat quietly on the edge of the bed, her eyebrows moved slightly.After a while, he curled up his legs again, put his hands around his head, and pulled himself tighter by the corner of the quilt.Chu Xing sat for a while, saw that she was still not stable, and finally stood up, but heard Poppy sobbing softly, her brows were frowned, her eyelids were closed tightly, and she said softly, "I really didn't kill you." Ah Liang."

Chu Xing's footsteps stopped.Looking back at her, he didn't speak for a while.

On the third day, when Chu Xing came in with a small cloth-covered cage in his hand, Poppy still couldn't help showing a resisted expression.Over the past two days, among the people she has met, the fear she has shown is the worst when facing him.No matter how gentle Chu Xing's attitude and tone are, Poppy has always held a deep-rooted prejudice against him, as if his gentleness is a thin mask that can be torn off at any time, and he can always hurt her carelessly.

Seeing him approaching the head of the bed and sitting down, Poppy flinched a bit.Chu Xing looked into her eyes and called her name slowly: "Poppy."

Poppy looked away without saying a word.Chu Xing's tone was gentler than before: "Poppy, look at me."

He said the sentence three times, calling her name again and again.Poppy still refused to turn her head.He finally gave up, and lifted the flannel from the cage in his hand, revealing a palm-sized white kitten inside.

Out of the corner of Poppy's eyes, she noticed the change here, and finally turned her face slightly.After seeing the kitten, his eyes were fixed immediately.

The kitten's lanugo hair is long and fluffy, a small ball, with four snow-white paws and gray ears, it looks very exquisite and cute.It didn't look too scared in the cage, and it didn't scream, it just looked out of the cage quietly.

Chu Xing looked at Poppy's expression and asked softly, "Do you like it?"

Poppy naturally wouldn't answer him, but she stared intently, and the look in her eyes was self-evident.Chu Xing said again: "Hold it out by yourself, okay?"

He moved the cage closer, but didn't let go.Poppy looked up at him, with a look of apprehension evident in her eyes.Chu Xing met her eyes and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't do anything. You can take it out yourself, okay?"

He repeated similar words four or five times, his face and tone remained calm.Poppy hesitated for a while between him and the kitten, and in the end, the cat in the cage that started playing with its tail was more attractive to her.She moved her fingers, quickly opened the cage, and hugged the kitten tightly into her arms.

After she finished this task, she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had finished a major event.After that, no matter what Chu Xing said to her again, Poppy ignored him and hid deep in the big bed with the kitten in her arms.

Since she fell ill, she has done this action countless times in just three days.Every time Chu Xing saw it, his eyes would deepen slightly.He put his hands on his folded knees, watching her hold the kitten and hid in the innermost place without hesitation, he couldn't help moving his fingers, but he still didn't stretch out.

He didn't go to pull her, but he didn't leave either.I just sat on the edge of the bed and watched Poppy and the kitten making fun of each other.The natural habit of that kitten's breed is to cling to people, even if it is a stranger, it is still willing to step on Poppy's arms.Poppy looked down at the kitten holding one of her fingers with its two front paws, and then kept rolling. After a while, the corner of its mouth finally smiled for the first time in days.

Chu Xing opened his mouth slightly, but still did not make a sound in the end.

Chu Xing sat on the edge of the bed from early morning to evening.Poppy and the kitten in the middle have already taken a nap for several times, but every time they wake up, they are always the first to see him.When Poppy accidentally met his gaze, she could still see him looking at her gently and smiling at her.

However, every time Poppy silently turned her eyes away.

Chu Xing knew that she must wish him to leave the bedroom with all her heart and eyes.After she got sick, her mind was much easier to guess than before.I hope that the look in his leaving eyes is clearly written on her face at this moment, and Chu Xing sees it, but pretends not to understand.

The two sat opposite each other from morning to sunset, until the last ray of sunlight disappeared, and Poppy finally couldn't help moving.

She hadn't eaten all day, and she was already too hungry, but she still stubbornly refused to speak.In the past few days, her thinking has been sluggish, and her mouth has been closed tightly like a clam. Except in her dreams, she has not spoken a word on weekdays.Poppy took another look at the bedside where there was always a plate of pastries in the past, but today there was nothing there, she frowned, tilted her head and thought for a while under Chu Xing's firmly locked eyes, and finally remained expressionless Lie down on the ground and make a posture to continue sleeping.

Chu Xing moved slightly at this moment, and Poppy's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, looking at him vigilantly.Chu Xing leaned over, Poppy's pupils constricted slightly, and subconsciously hid deeper in the bed, but it was not as fast as his hand, and the top of her hair was gently stroked by Chu Xing the next moment.

His movements were light and fast, but he retracted them in one go.Poppy clenched her teeth, and when she heard him call her name in a low voice, she asked her with a smile on her face, "Are you hungry?"

Poppy naturally didn't answer, and leaned in again, obviously hoping to shield him half a meter away.Chu Xing didn't force it, just smiled again, and said in a low voice: "Huh? Are you hungry?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Poppy's stomach growl, which could be clearly heard even through the quilt.

Although Poppy was ignorant, she also knew that this was an embarrassment, her face slowly turned red, and finally spread to her neck.She turned sideways, turned her back to him, Chu Xing refused to let it go, leaned over, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said in her ear: "Could it be that if I don't ask you, you will stay hungry and not talk?"

Poppy didn't seem to listen at all, only noticed his approaching, moved quite uncomfortably, and continued to lean in.Chu Xing's smile was half-reduced, and he said softly: "Poppy, just say a word to me, just a word. Okay?"

Poppy closed her eyes, her eyelashes were long, and she remained motionless.Chu Xing looked at her deeply, and after a while, the smile resurfaced, and his tone was more gentle than before: "Hey, I'm going to bring fish porridge for you now, okay?"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left the bedroom.When he reached the door, he stopped again and looked back.

Poppy was turning half of her body to look at him. She was a little relaxed at first, but when she saw him stop, her face immediately showed vigilance, and her nerves suddenly tensed up.

Chu Xing's eyes deepened slightly again, he was silent for a while, made a comforting gesture for her, then went out, and closed the door from the outside.But after a while he came back again, this time with a bowl of fragrant fish porridge in his hand.

The color and aroma of that bowl of fish porridge was complete and beautiful. Poppy was so hungry that she was panicked, and since Chu Xing came in, she had been staring at the fish porridge that night.Chu Xing sat down on the edge of the bed, and Poppy's eyes followed the bowl of fish porridge to the edge of the bed.Chu Xing glanced at her, smiled slightly, scooped up a small spoon and put it close to Poppy's mouth.

Poppy finally came to her senses, subconsciously shrank back.

Chu Xing's eyes remained unchanged, and he only coaxed her softly: "It's not hot. Take a bite, okay?"

Poppy glanced at him, hesitated for a while, but still refused to go forward.Chu Xing whispered: "Look, it's just eating, I don't do anything. Be good, just take a bite, okay?"

He repeated it many times, all in a low and gentle tone.He kept his gestures unchanged, but his eyes showed that he really couldn't do anything.Poppy looked at him again, the entanglement in her eyes became more and more intense, until the fish porridge in the spoon became warm and cold, she finally tentatively leaned over a little.

Chu Xing waited patiently until she leaned over bit by bit, slightly retracted her gaze from staring at him, then lowered her head, and swallowed the spoonful of fish porridge by herself.

He took another small spoon and fed it to her mouth.Repeated this many times, even though the process was slow and Poppy was still vigilant, in the end the porridge bowl bottomed out.Chu Xing put down the porridge bowl, took out the handkerchief in his arms, and wanted to wipe the corners of Poppy's mouth.This time she tilted her head, and his hand fell, touching only the air.

Chu Xing glanced at her, and took the handkerchief back without saying a word.Poppy looked at him with some anxiety, but he caught him and smiled at her.

Seeing that he was not punished, Poppy silently looked away.Sensing that Chu Xing was making another move, before she could turn her head around, Chu Xing had already gently touched her cheek with his thumb.

His movements were instant, and before Poppy's brows frowned, Chu Xing called her name again in a low voice: "Poppy, when you get better, we..."

Halfway through his words, he stopped when he saw that Poppy was not interested in listening at all.Poppy turned over and lay down on her own, even her back revealed that she didn't want to deal with him anymore today, Chu Xing glanced at her, said nothing, and finally left.

A few days later, Yan Yu came for a follow-up visit, and what he saw at the door of the bedroom was Poppy holding a kitten in her hands, and Chu Xing was feeding Poppy and eating cakes.

Chu Xing's movements were slow and patient, and it took more than ten minutes for only three small pieces of pastry.After feeding the food, he stood up and saw Poppy rubbing a sock off, and leaned over to put the sock on for her.But Poppy refused to cooperate, as soon as he touched her feet, Poppy shrank back subconsciously.Chu Xing kept his brows still, and while observing the reaction on Poppy's face, he coaxed her in a low voice. After 2 minutes, Poppy finally loosened a bit, and he gently grabbed her feet and put the socks on her again. go up.

Yan Yu saw these things in his eyes, with a half-smile on his face, and remained silent.It wasn't until Chu Xing stood up again that he broke the atmosphere in the room, and said in a business-like manner: "I need to clear the scene for a review. Master Chu, please avoid it for now."

Twenty minutes later, Yan Yu came down from the stairs, saw Chu Xing on the sofa, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with a smirk: "It's only been a week, and Poppy can actually cooperate with you." Degree. Young master Chu, you must be playing some tricks again, right?"

Chu Xing didn't answer, just asked: "How is the situation?"

Yan Yu glanced at him, sneered, sat down on the sofa beside him politely, and said: "What else can I do, it's just the same. It's not a one-day job to smash it up and rebuild it, Young Master Chu must remember There is no rush. Besides..."

He deliberately paused, slowly peeled a grape in the fruit bowl, and then continued mockingly: "Besides, now that Poppy is unconscious and weak-willed, you can coax her like this. If she wakes up, Do you think she will still be so obedient? By then, no matter how many cats you give her, she will not look at you again. So, she might as well just be so lethargic, but it will be good for everyone. You say Yes or no?"

Chu Xing could hear the thorn in his words, but he didn't comment, he just took a few teacups and drank tea.After a while, Yan Yu adjusted her glasses, and said bluntly: "No matter what method you use, I only suggest you not to use any tricks or coercion. Even if these methods work now, when she wakes up, then It becomes endless trouble.”

After hearing this, Chu Xing smiled inexplicably, raised his eyelids to look at him, and said plainly: "I heard that someone wants to interfere in other people's marriage affairs. Why didn't you think about this issue when you sent someone to investigate secretly?"

Yan Yu's face remained unchanged: "I have a sense of proportion in my own affairs, don't compare mine with yours."

Chu Xing lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and when he raised his eyelids again, his face was light: "There is no difference. If you don't intervene, your ex-girlfriend will never get divorced, and you will never have the possibility of getting back in power. If I don't Do something, when Poppy wakes up, our relationship will not get any better, she will still leave. If I do something, the worst plan is that she will still leave me, other than that, there will only be more Well, it can't get any worse."

"As for the means, anything that changes the status quo is a means. And anything that can achieve the goal is a good means. If I don't use these means now, I won't even have the chance to use them in the future. There will be endless troubles."
