“There were so many security guards outside, almost preventing me from entering.” Xia Bing recalled the dense crowd of people outside, who claimed to be security guards but seemed more like thugs or members of a criminal organization…
Xia Hou Zun smiled, “Later, there might be many news reporters, so these security guards are here to block them.”
Xia Bing understood immediately; he was a celebrity in S City, so naturally, reporters would follow and report on any incidents.
“Being a celebrity is not good, you lose all privacy.” Moreover, one absolutely cannot make mistakes; if they do, others will seize on the smallest error and destroy them.
Xia Hou Zun smiled, knowing that since she had entered here, those omnipresent reporters surely knew about her.
Xia Bing brought the porridge, “Luckily it was kept in a thermos, it should be fine.”
Xia Hou Zun wanted Xia Bing to feed him.
Xia Bing felt a bit awkward, “I’ve never fed anyone before, not even Mo Yan. I’ll find a nurse.”
Xia Hou was about to be defeated by this unromantic woman.
“If you let a nurse do it, tomorrow’s newspapers will definitely write that Xia Hou Zun is now disabled…” Xia Hou Zun could imagine the reporters’ sensationalist style.
Xia Bing helplessly fed him, but Xia Hou Zun was picky, complaining it was too hot, then something else… After much effort, she finally completed this ‘arduous’ task.
“Tomorrow, I will definitely hire a nurse, regardless of whether they spread rumors about Xia Hou Zun being disabled!” Xia Bing said resentfully.
Xia Hou just wanted Xia Bing to care more about him; seeing her say this, he dared not let anyone else feed him tomorrow.
Mixed Emotions
Xia Hou Zun tried to move but discovered his legs were immobile.
“Xia Bing, call my attending physician,” Xia Hou’s expression was serious, and Xia Bing nodded.
Xia Hou asked Xia Bing to leave, but she refused.
Xia Hou directly asked the doctor, “Why can’t I move my legs?”
“Mr. Xia Hou, don’t worry. Your legs will recover with physical therapy,” the doctor said a few words, and Xia Hou Zun, having gotten his answer, dismissed him.
Xia Hou Zun’s heart sank; from the doctor’s words, recovery seemed very difficult.
