Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Almost inaudible sobbing...

Taking a few deep breaths of the air in the ward that was filled with the smell of disinfectant, Xing Kui tried desperately to disinfect his brain, pursing his lips tightly to prevent himself from speaking out any bold ideas.

The security guard pushed her wheelchair to the bedside. She stood up with the help of the armrest, sat down on the edge of the bed, and slowly moved her legs onto the couch.

Li Chengchuan wanted to help several times, but he was afraid that he would not be able to help but put Xing Kui in his arms, so he left the hospital for a while and almost lost her again! When he heard the news, his heart was spinning and his heartbeat was still abnormal.

Kicking Jiang Yuming: You go.

Jiang Yuming: You want me to help your fiancée?

Li Chengchuan: I don’t trust others with rough hands and feet.

Jiang Yuming, a good brother who made Li Chengchuan feel at ease, raised his eyebrows lazily, as if he was reluctantly passing through him and approaching the bed because of his brother's entrustment.

There is no doubt that Xing Kui's hand and brain exercises today have exceeded the limit, and her legs are weak, so she can control them easily. Jiang Yuming was beside her legs, grabbed one of her legs by the knee, lifted it slightly, raised his eyelids, and stared at her with narrow eyes.

Is this movement a bit awkward? Xing Kui's calf muscles subconsciously tensed.

Ahhh, your calf muscles are so weak, who told you to tense them? Ahhh, you touched Dr. Jiang's hand, let it go!

Jiang Yuming felt it and lowered his eyes to look. The pants of the hospital gown were thin, and the tense muscles pressed against his hand, which was very obvious and became more and more obvious the more he looked.

Okay, little sunflower, you’re just daydreaming, right?

On the way back to the hospital, Jiang Yuming had already understood the whole story. It was not easy for Xing Kui to stabilize him with her cloudy mind. She worked hard. It was a good thing to relax, divert her attention, and let go of what happened during the day.

Besides, Jiang Yuming, who considered himself a bad guy, had a dirty mind. He lifted Xing Kui's knee and found this action very interesting.

He could move forward or backward. If he wanted to move forward, he could move forward, but if he wanted to retreat, with Xing Kui's body, he could just pull her to sit on his waist.

"hurry up!"

Oh, I almost forgot Li Chengchuan was watching next to me.

Jiang Yuming put Xing Kui's legs on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

"Thank you." Xing Kui lifted the quilt and looked at Jiang Yuming. "I heard from the security guard that you specifically asked him to protect me."

Li Chengchuan frowned. How come he didn’t know about this?

An inquiring look was cast at Jiang Yuming. Jiang Yuming was calm and composed. Maybe he was instructed by him when he asked him to ask the surveillance camera.

No matter what, it is impossible for the good brother who only loves supermodels to be interested in Xing Kui.

Xing Kui wanted to eat something sweet, to use the sugar to drive away the bad memories of her life hanging by a thread. She leaned her back against the headboard. The cold sweat that had soaked her clothes had now dried.

The security guard put the things she bought from the supermarket next to her. She took out a cup of jelly from the bag and tried to cut the plastic film on the surface of the jelly bowl with a serrated spoon.

I managed to survive today and didn't make my mother sad again. I did a great job and deserve a reward.

Her hands were weak, so it was a bit difficult for her to open the jelly package by herself.

"Me?" Three overlapping questions were asked.

Xing Kui raised her eyes and looked at Li Chengchuan, Jiang Yuming and the security captain.

Jiang Yuming glanced at the security captain, and Li Chengchuan glanced at Jiang Yuming. The security captain trembled and said, "You two are coming?"

We? In a monogamous society, there is no such thing as "we".

Jiang Yuming gave in first. Li Chengchuan, who successfully got the jelly, was afraid of getting it dirty, so he took it to the bathroom to wash it first.

"..." This was the first time in my life that I saw someone wash the jelly before opening it! Xing Kui tilted her head in confusion. Fortunately, she didn't buy a shake jelly, because how could she wash the paper packaging?

She took out three cups of jelly from the shopping bag, put one cup on the bedside table, and gave it to Li Chengchuan, telling him to wash it himself.

The other two cups were handed to Jiang Yuming and the security captain.

The security captain was flattered and took the peach-flavored jelly, thanking him repeatedly.

Jiang Yuming casually rubbed the assorted jelly in his hand, glanced at the bedside table, and saw that it also tasted like peach.

"Switch with me, I don't like assorted."

Security Captain: "Ah, but... that's great. I don't even like peaches. Here you go."

His daughter likes peaches! He wants to bring some home for his daughter!

Jiang Yuming took it with squinted eyes. The smile in his eyes reminded the security captain of a sentence his daughter who loved the two-dimensional world often said: People with squinting eyes are monsters!

I can't afford to offend you, so I'll just run away.

"You can't eat this." Jiang Yuming, standing by the bed, flicked through the shopping bag. It was full of snacks Xing Kui had bought at the supermarket: instant milk tea, shredded squid, chocolate... He took them out one by one and said with a smile, "Confiscate them."

"What?" Xing Kui was anxious. She grabbed his wrist with one hand and raised a finger with the other. "I'll just eat a little."

"No." For the sake of her health, Jiang Yuming took out all the food that was not suitable for her to eat.

The last thing—Xing Kui held his wrists with both hands, and said pitifully: "Can't I have Konjac? They say it's a healthy snack online. If you don't believe me, just search it!"

"No." Jiang Yuming pulled his hand away mercilessly. "It's too spicy. You can't eat it."

How could this happen! You stole my Konjac Soup, this is an irreconcilable feud! Watching the last of the Konjac Soup go into Jiang Yuming's pocket, Xing Kui's shoulders slumped in dejection.

"When you recover, I will pay you back tenfold."

When the voice fell into her ears, Xing Kui raised her shoulders and her eyes lit up like lights. Mom, you are a good person!

He was so well behaved that he didn't make a fuss even when most of his snacks were taken away. He said he would return them but was coaxed into silence before he actually did.

Jiang Yuming put one hand in his pocket and unconsciously leaned his wrist against his ribs. Xing Kui's grip on his wrist was as cold as winter marble. He knew without hesitation that this unwell person would not tell his mother about the dangers he had experienced today.

Li Chengchuan came out after washing the jelly and wiped the water off the jelly with a piece of paper towel. Xing Kui stared at Li Chengchuan as he handled the plastic film used for packaging.

The ringing cell phone caught her attention. It was Xing's mother calling her via video.

When people encounter bad things, they will habitually confide in their dependent mothers. Xing Kui did not dare to see her mother. She was afraid that she would not be able to suppress her desire to confide and make her mother worry, so she switched to voice call mode before answering the call.

"Why can't I see you? Didn't I make a video call?" The dialect used by Xing's mother sounded very familiar.

"I switched to voice." Xing Kui said with a smile, using a joking tone to cover up her true emotions. "Why the video? Wouldn't I be sad to see the wound on my head?"

"Virtue, let mom see what's wrong? Are you okay recently?"

"Yeah, everything is fine."

"Well, that's good. It's nothing serious. You've been treating scars like boils since you were little."

Xing Kui's smile froze slightly. This was the dialect from her hometown, used as an insult, referring to someone who treated a minor illness as a major one and thought highly of himself.

"Your aunt said she commented on your WeChat Moments, but you didn't reply. Is that true? Hurry up and reply. What could you be busy doing in the hospital? Don't be rude."

After hanging up the phone, Xing Kui took the jelly that Li Chengchuan had just opened and said with a smile: "I'm going out to eat."

What's wrong?

She turned the volume down on the call, and since Xing's mother spoke in dialect throughout, the other people in the room didn't hear anything.

The stairwell door closed. Xing Kui grabbed the handrail and slowly moved from the wheelchair to the steps. His legs were in excruciating pain. In the cold light, he turned on his phone, opened his Moments, and replied to his aunt.

After replying, she held the bowl-shaped jelly and continued to open it along the opening that Li Chengchuan had opened.

My hands hurt so much that I can't take it apart.

The spoon that comes with the jelly is a cheap, almost transparent plastic folding spoon that bends if you apply too much force.

The phone rang at an inopportune time, invading her world. Xing Kui picked up the phone, and the voice that came out of her throat was a soft cry: "Hello."

In Zhou Jing's home, in the study, in front of the desk, a soft yellow light illuminates the table.

The coat was hanging on the rack nearby. Zhou Jing was only wearing a dark grey shirt. He pinched his eyebrows, and his beautiful eyebrows were slightly wrinkled above his gold-rimmed glasses.

In order to let him take over a traffic accident case, Li Chengchuan actually started with his sister. Zhou Li is paranoid and has been in the entertainment industry. She wants to get the endorsement of the jewelry brand controlled by the Li family, and she gets hysterical with him.

After leaving Wansheng, his mobile phone, WeChat, and even the office landline were almost bombarded by Zhou Li. If Zhou Li continued to make trouble like this, his future work arrangements would be completely messed up.

Zhou Li's call popped up on the phone screen again. Zhou Jingjing felt pained. As soon as the call stopped, he quickly dialed a string of numbers.

He heard from Li Chengchuan that his fiancée had been in a car accident. This strange fiancée was really capable. Not only did she make Li Chengchuan willing to enter the marriage grave, but she was also willing to do so much for her.

No one can stop Li Chengchuan from doing what he wants to do. Zhou Jing decides to solve the problem starting with his mysterious fiancée.

He also wanted to see what kind of monsters and demons they were.

Zhou Jing asked Li Chengchuan for Xing Kui's cell phone number and dialed it on the pretext of needing to know the details of the case.

The call was quickly connected: "Hello."

Zhou Jing was startled, and the hand pinching his brows stopped: "Are you crying?"

The voice coming through the phone was hoarse, like cotton being combed through a comb. One could tell the speaker was in a cramped space. Because of his question, he seemed to be stunned for a moment and asked back, "Can't I cry?"

No, that's not what he meant... She seemed very angry. Zhou Jing felt where she dropped her phone, and the sound sounded like some kind of leather chair seat.

She forgot to hang up the phone. Zhou Jing stretched out his finger, moved it to the red hang-up button, and suddenly stopped with his knuckles curled up: as long as he was on the phone, Zhou Li's deadly series of calls would not come through.

Zhou Jing moved his finger, put his phone aside, opened the pen cover, and started working - he hoped Li Chengchuan's fiancée wouldn't cry too loudly - she wasn't crying at all.

After hearing no sound for a long time, Zhou Jing put down his pen and took back his phone suspiciously, wondering if his phone was broken. It clearly showed that he was still on a call, but there was no movement from the other end.

He held down the side button and gradually increased the volume until the volume bar reached the top. Finally, some very small, almost inaudible sobs came from the phone.

It's not that she didn't move, it was just very slight. Zhou Jing erased his initial impression of Li Chengchuan's fiancée as a monster, and only imagined a vague image of a woman hiding in a corner, licking her wounds alone.

She was still crying, why? Was it because of the car accident or Li Chengchuan?

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Jing heard a sound different from sobbing.

In the stairwell, Xing Kui tore open the jelly package and ate it in big mouthfuls, wiping the tears from her eyes as she ate.

After eating something sweet, forget the hurtful words your mother said.

She didn't have any broken bones, and her mother didn't mind her daughter having brain damage and disfigurement, or becoming stupid and ugly, so she jokingly said that she didn't have a serious illness.

Her mother had no ill will towards her. She just didn't go to school for many years, and her living environment taught her to say only those things. Her mother loved her very much in essence. If she turned against her mother because of just one sentence, then she was such a piece of shit.

Xing Kui will no longer post on WeChat Moments to record her life. Maybe she should find a platform where her relatives can see her, and let her relatives see her after she dies.

By then, they couldn't ask her to reply, could they? If she did, they might have nightmares.

Xing Kui swallowed the last mouthful of jelly, and she completed her self-care. She climbed up by grabbing the handrail of the stairs, sat back in the wheelchair, and took out her cell phone. Hey, why was she still on the call?

"You pervert, listen to me crying!" Xing Kui cursed angrily and hung up the suspected scam call.
