Huo Qingming wiped the water droplets from his hands, stood up straight, and stared at Ye Qingyan before turning his gaze to Ji Yuzhi.

"The situation outside is unclear, and we only have simple food from the hospital."

Because of the large amplitude of the earthquake, almost the entire city of B was affected. Except for some main roads, transportation was virtually paralyzed. Buildings collapsed severely, and more than half of the population was left homeless, living in makeshift tents.

Forget about food delivery, all commercial trade outside has come to a standstill; it's a miracle we've survived.

Most people outside are currently surviving on the first batch of relief supplies. And the first batch of supplies delivered is often the simplest and most filling food, such as instant noodles or compressed biscuits.

Now, only hospitals can provide fresh vegetables and rice.

First, it's to ensure the health and well-being of medical staff. Second, the most seriously ill patients in the city are all in the hospitals. Those outside can afford to be a little uncomfortable. Things will get better once the second and third batches of relief supplies arrive.

It has been two nights since the earthquake.

Medical personnel from various cities have been arriving one after another to provide support, and the rescue mission is still ongoing.

Jin Ze came for Tian Tian, ​​but he hasn't even glanced at her yet.

Everyone understands these simple truths.

"I'm fine with anything, I'll eat whatever's available."

None of the people present were pretentious; at this juncture, having something to eat was enough.

Only Ji Yuzhi made a request: "Hot porridge."

"Can."

Huo Qingming knew who the bowl of porridge was for, so naturally he wouldn't refuse.

"Do you want to come with me?" Huo Qingming asked.

"No, I'm afraid if I leave, I won't be able to see Tian Tian's face when she wakes up." Ye Qingyan is someone who values ​​friends more than romance when it comes to important matters.

Huo Qingming didn't make things difficult for her and nodded before leaving.

Ye Qingyan jumped off the bed, pulled up a chair next to Zhen Tian's bed, and sat down directly opposite Ji Yuzhi.

After a night, Zhen Tian's face regained its color.

She had used a lot of blood bags during surgery due to severe bleeding.

Yang Tao was in pain all over and didn't move.

However, everyone is hoping that the person in bed will wake up.

As expected, Zhen Tian's eyelids began to twitch shortly afterward, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

She could still see this time.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

He moved his head, and the first thing he saw was Ji Yuzhi.

"Zhizhi." She grinned, her smile a little silly.

"Good morning, Sweetie." Ji Yuzhi smiled as well.

"Sweetie... Waaah..." Ye Qingyan saw that she was awake and her complexion had recovered a lot. Overwhelmed with emotion, she pouted and was about to cry.

"Qingyan! Are you alright? Are you hurt?" She was lying down and couldn't move, so she could only scan Ye Qingyan with her eyes.

"I'm fine, nothing's wrong at all. It's me who's dragged you down."

Just as Ye Qingyan was speaking her mind, Yang Tao also lingered over and bowed to Tian Tian, ​​saying, "Thank you for saving me."

"What are you doing?" Zhen Tian frowned.

"I know that if that pillar had hit me, I might have been crushed to death. Or I might have wanted to die because of the pain." Yang Tao was also carrying a lot of pressure in her heart: "I don't know how to repay you. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you well in the future."

"Aren't we good friends?" Zhen Tian smiled brightly. "Good friends don't need to talk about repaying each other. Even if it weren't for you, I probably would have gone back to save you. Right?"

The three little girls were crying and laughing. Ji Yuzhi watched for a while before taking out his phone and making a call back.

First, he needed to let everyone know he was safe. He also needed to contact the relevant departments. He didn't know what punishment the miners who left without permission would receive, but he was prepared to accept whatever punishment they might face.

Only when the injury was mentioned did Zhen Tian remember: "Only, only, only, only!"

The person was no longer in her field of vision.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing her call, Ji Yuzhi strode over, phone in hand.

"Your hand is injured, go get it dressed quickly."

Although she was dazed last night, she still has some memory of it.

"fine……"

"Don't say it's nothing, go change it now, or I'll change it for you." Zhen Tian tried to scare him by waving her hand, but there was still an IV drip in her arm.

"Okay, I'll go right away. Be good, I'll be right back."

Ji Yuzhi could not resist, so he had to go and return quickly.

On the way back, I ran into Huo Qingming.

"I'll take it." Ji Yuzhi took the food from Huo Qingming's hand.

The two carried their belongings and walked silently into the ward.

"You..." Huo Qingming spoke first.

Ji Yuzhi looked at him.

"You must really like Zhen Tian." Huo Qingming didn't know why he brought up this topic, but as he talked, he understood.

Ji Yu remained unmoved.

“I saw you get off the plane and the entire rescue,” Huo Qingming said calmly. “If you didn’t love her to the extreme, it would be hard to disregard life and death.”

"So?" Ji Yuzhi was even colder than him.

“I also like Ye Qingyan very much.” Huo Qingming looked directly at Ji Yuzhi without any fear. “I know Zhen Tian has doubts about me. So I hope you can tell her that my feelings for Qingyan are no less than yours.”

Why should I help you?

"Because Qingyan is her friend, and you love her, you will naturally help her friend, just like I do."

Ji Yuzhi curled the corners of his lips but didn't say anything.

After a few simple exchanges, he had a pretty good grasp of the man in front of him who was about the same age as him.

Ji Yuzhi didn't say anything, so Huo Qingming could only guess what he was thinking.

However, it's unlikely to be a negative answer.

Based on what he had seen of him in the past few days and what he knew about him.

Although he hadn't fully figured out Ji Yuzhi yet, the only thing he understood was that he wouldn't allow any risk to be around Zhen Tian, ​​even if it was his friend's boyfriend.

The fact that they didn't refuse means they accepted it.

Huo Qingming has always been accustomed to wearing a mask.

But there's always someone better.

He felt relieved.

After returning to the ward and distributing the food, Ji Yuzhi carried a bowl of steaming millet porridge back to the bedside.

"Eat something."

He raised Zhen Tian's hospital bed before he could see a pair of teary eyes staring at him.

"What's wrong?" He frowned.

"Only one..."

Zhen Tian was heartbroken. After talking with Qingyan Taozi, she learned how Ji Yuzhi got the wound on his hand.

She felt both heartbroken and sad.

"Are you stupid?" Zhen Tian held his hands, which had just been bandaged.

Ji Yuzhi wasn't stupid, so he immediately understood what she was talking about. He glanced at the two guilty-looking people across the hospital bed.

"Why are you looking at them! Are you trying to keep this from me forever?" Zhen Tian glared at him.

"Okay, okay. Let's eat first." Ji Yuzhi touched her face with the back of his hand: "Don't be so puffy like a little pufferfish."

"You're the one who's like a pufferfish." Zhen Tian pouted and glared at him. "Are there any injuries you haven't mentioned? If I find out you're lying, you're dead meat."
