Chapter 238 Never to be mentioned again

Han Xi was still waiting anxiously outside the operating room. She saw the nurses bring in blood bags several times, which showed how serious the situation inside was.

As time ticked by, she clenched her hands, feeling somewhat lost.

Shen Jiheng stood beside her, frowning as he said, "I really didn't expect him to do all this for you."

When Shen Jiheng heard the news, he was shocked. He never expected that Bo Siye would risk his life to save Han Xi.

This incident also left him with lingering fear; what if Bo Siye hadn't rushed out...

Shen Jiheng shook his head; such thoughts shouldn't even be on his mind.

Han Xi took a deep breath and said, "I was thinking about the poison the whole way and didn't realize I was in a dangerous area. When he ran towards me, I vaguely heard him shout three words. Now I remember, he said 'Get out of the way!'"

Shen Jiheng rubbed her shoulders, and Han Xi choked up, holding her forehead, "It happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to react. By the time he pounced on me, those people had already turned around and fallen down."

If she had reacted in time and dodged, Bo Siyue wouldn't have had to rush at her.

Unfortunately, nothing that has happened can be undone.

"He was probably only focused on protecting you at the time and didn't consider the consequences. This was his intention."

Putting everything else aside, Bo Siye has been incredibly attentive to Han Xi. He was even willing to risk his life to protect her, something that Shen Jiheng has never done before.

The current situation makes it even more difficult to investigate the poisoning incident. Even if Bo Siye was the one who orchestrated it, Shen Jiheng will be in a difficult position just because he saved Han Xi this time.

The Shen family has been trying to catch up on the progress all day, and now it seems things will be completely delayed.

“Ji Heng, I believe that Si Ye has nothing to do with the poisoning.”

Han Xi did not believe that someone who was willing to sacrifice himself to save others would poison innocent people.

Shen Jiheng understood her feelings at the moment and agreed, "You're right, there are still many doubts about this matter."

Unfortunately, Shen Jiheng never trusted Bo Siye; he only said those things to appease Han Xi's feelings.

When the operating room doors finally opened in the evening, after several hours of emergency treatment by the doctors, Bo Siyue's life was finally snatched back from the jaws of death.

Han Xi took a deep breath and leaned against the wall, thanking God he had survived.

Shen Jiheng reassured him, "Now you can rest assured."

Han Xi nodded: "I knew it. God wouldn't let someone as good as him die."

Shen Jiheng frowned slightly, hoping that Han Xi wouldn't be too hurt when Bo Siye's true colors were revealed.

“I’ve found him the best medical staff, so you can go back home with peace of mind.”

Han Xi shook her head and said, "He needs to be closely monitored these next two days, so I've decided to stay and take care of him."

Shen Jiheng was naturally unwilling and tried to persuade her to go home.

“If you don’t go back, Yumo will definitely come looking for you tonight. It’s the first day of school for the two children. Don’t you want to go back and ask about the situation?”

"Isn't it because you're here? You can come and keep them company."

Unexpectedly, she was quite determined. Shen Jiheng then said, "You are just friends. It would be inconvenient for you to stay. Besides, you don't know how to take care of people, so you're useless here."

Han Xi knew his intention and said earnestly, "Ji Heng almost lost his life for me. I hope he can see me when he opens his eyes. I want to thank him."

Shen Jiheng nodded with a wry smile; indeed, nothing could be hidden from her.

"I understand. I'll head back now. Contact me if anything comes up."

"I'm entrusting the child to you."

Shen Jiheng realized that Bo Siye was still an obstacle in their relationship. He thought that after his relationship with Han Xi improved during this period, this person would no longer have a chance.

However, seeing that he was willing to give up his life for Han Xi, his strength could not be ignored.

He could also sense that Han Xi's feelings for him had gone beyond friendship, which was what worried Shen Jiheng the most.

The next afternoon, Bo Siye woke up and waved excitedly when he slowly raised his eyes and saw Han Xi.

Upon seeing this, Han Xi immediately grasped his hand: "Si Ye, don't get agitated. I'm fine now. You were seriously injured while saving me. The doctor said you'll need further treatment, so please don't move or aggravate your wounds."

Although there were medical staff to take care of her, Han Xi was still worried about staying behind, fearing that Bo Siye would be even more agitated if he woke up and couldn't see her.

Bo Siye let out a long sigh and said softly, "It's good that you're alright, it was too dangerous."

Han Xi put his hand back under the covers and said gratefully, "Si Ye, I really want to thank you. If you hadn't rushed up to save me, I'm afraid I would be dead."

Bo Siye smiled faintly, his lifeless eyes filled with her image.

"I'm so glad I was able to save you. I was just afraid I wasn't fast enough and wouldn't be able to save you in time."

Han Xi was filled with mixed feelings. All her previous doubts seemed to have vanished at this moment. How could she possibly question Bo Siye about what he had done?

Seeing Han Xi frown, Bo Siye smiled and said, "It feels like I've walked through the gates of hell. From now on, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore. That's a kind of gain, don't you think?"

Han Xi was amused by his words, and it was fortunate that he had such an open-minded attitude.

"Siye, thank you so much. You've done so much for me, even risking your life for me this time. I will remember this forever."

"We are best friends. I want to protect you, both in the past and now. Please forgive me for the selfish things I did."

Han Xi shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't blame you. The reason why he and I didn't end up together back then wasn't just because of these reasons."

A smile appeared on Bo Siye's pale face, which tugged at Han Xi's heartstrings.

"I just hope you're doing well."

Han Xi smiled and said, "Right now, you just need to recover from your injuries and don't think about anything else."

Bo Siyue blinked in response and asked curiously, "What brings you to the construction site? I noticed you were distracted, and I called you several times but you didn't hear me."

It wasn't the right time to talk about such troublesome things, so Han Xi changed the subject.

"I just wanted to chat with you. You just woke up and need to recover your energy, so don't talk yet. I'll ask the doctor if I can get you something to eat."

Bo Siye could naturally tell that Han Xi was avoiding the topic, and that it was best never to bring it up again.

"Now that you mention it, I really am hungry. Well then, I'll trouble you."

Han Xi smiled and left, while Bo Siye's expression turned serious.

He knew, of course, that rescuing Han Xi would result in injury, but the severity of the injury was beyond his expectations. If he had known it would be like this, would he still have gone...?

Bo Siye's head must have really been smashed, otherwise how could he have come up with such terrible thoughts?

Han Xi took a deep breath in the corridor. She decided not to ask Bo Siye about the poisoning anymore and to wait until he recovered before discussing it further.

After asking the doctor, Han Xi learned that Bo Siye could eat some light food, so she went to the cafeteria to buy porridge. However, when she returned to the ward, she saw Yan Si inside and immediately went up to scold her.

"Miss Yan, what are you doing in the ward? Are you trying to provoke a wounded soldier who has just woken up?"
