Mu Rongcheng continued to look at Mu Zi. His gaze made Mu Zi feel a little strange as if there was a sense of urgency...

"Brother?" Mu Zi called again.

Mu Rongcheng's expression eased a little and he said, "The doctor asked you to eat some fruits after waking up to help you recover. I bought you a fruit salad from the hospital canteen."

He propped up the small table on the sickbed and placed a box of fruit salad on it as if telling her to eat it in front of him.

Mu Zi looked at the fruit salad and frowned.

What kind of a quack doctor said that? Although she was not in the medical field, at least she had basic common sense!

A person who drowned would have swallowed a lot of water and felt uncomfortable. Even if they wanted to eat, it would have to be something easy to digest. Just who would eat fruits?

"...Do I have to?" Mu Zi peered at him.

Mu Rongcheng did not speak and only glanced at the fruit salad. The meaning in his eyes was clear.

Mu Zi could only pick up the small fork and stab it into the fruits with bitter resentment...

After a few bites, she could not stomach anymore.

"I don't want to eat this. Aren't there any beef noodles, dumpling noodles, or wonton and so on…" Mu Zi pushed away the fruit box in disgust. 

Mu Rongcheng was relieved to see that she deliberately avoided the dragon fruit in the salad.

He was afraid that the one who came back was not her.

"You just drowned and you can still think about eating beef noodles?" Mu Roncgheng smiled and raised a hand to tap her gently on the head. "I'm afraid you'll get nauseous. Try holding back for a few hours before eating anything."

Mu Zi immediately stared at him with wide eyes! She was super speechless!

'God, is this man schizophrenic? Who was it exactly who just forced me to eat fruit salad?!'

Her angry eyes were full of vitality, which made her look very clever and lovely.

Mu Rongcheng's breath stuttered.

He had almost lost something just to regain it. His heart surged, and being unable to resist it any longer, he cupped Mu Zi's face and kissed her—

Mu Zi. "!!!"

'Ho…

'...ly...

'F*ck!'

It happened too suddenly!!!

She was completely unprepared!

Mu Rongcheng stroked her head as if petting a small animal.

Mu Zi. "..."

Her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She successfully turned into a red sea crab!

She was completely humiliated!

Mu Zi clenched her fist, and without caring that the IV needle was still in her arm, she mercilessly punched Mu Rongcheng's face! —

...Bam!

Mu Rongcheng's large palm easily wrapped her small fist. He held it to his chest and pressed down on it.

"Zizi." Mu Rongcheng's eyes were smiling. His low voice seemed to be coaxing her gently. "...Be good."

Mu Zi glared at him angrily. "Mu Rongcheng—"'Don't go overboard!'

Before she could finish her words, the door to the ward suddenly opened!

"Zizi!" Bai Wei rushed in tearfully!

Bai Wei threw herself in front of the bed and held Mu Zi tightly. "Zizi, Zizi! Are you alright? How are you feeling now? Are you uncomfortable anywhere? —"

Mu Zi buried the furious anger deep in her chest. She clenched her fist and loosened it, loosened, and clenched it! 

She wanted to say, 'I'm just peachy, but I was molested. By. Your. Son!'

"Zizi is fine. Not much water got into her lungs. She's only in temporary shock because she suffered a fright." Mu Rongcheng explained to Bai Wei.

His expression was composed as if nothing had happened earlier.

However, it was that unfettered expression that was so infuriating!

Mu Zi was going to explode from anger!

Mu Rongcheng looked at her face that was blushing from either shame or anger, and smiled. He said, "Mom, you take care of Zizi. I have to do something."

Fire seemed to burn in Mu Zi's eyes. 'If you don't want to get beaten then scram! Hooligan!'

Mu Rongcheng smiled and turned to leave.

Outside the ward, Wang Zhan stood outside the door and leaned over slightly. "Master, I've brought him over."
