Chapter 184 She is sad
On the way back, Lu Youyou's mind was full of the broken equipment.
Her eyes are so accurate and her imagination is so good that after watching it, she can roughly restore what Gu Qingye experienced before he was injured.
No wonder he was so badly injured.
If he hadn't encountered the killer whale group, would Gu Qingye have been able to hold on until the rescue team found him?
Maybe he won’t even last long enough for Little Huihui to go out to sea to find him!
Lu Youyou returned under the moonlight. Li Mingde asked nothing but explained today's situation in detail.
"Comrade Gu woke up once at noon and drank some porridge. Today's IV drip has been completed. I just went in to check and Comrade Gu has fallen asleep."
"Thanks."
"Comrade Lu, do you want to eat? There is a stove in the cafeteria. We have rice, noodles and other dishes."
"I've eaten, thank you. I'll keep watch today, you guys go to bed early."
Li Mingde just saluted without responding. They worked in three shifts to guard 24 hours a day. No matter whether Lu Youyou needed it or not, there would be someone on duty outside the ward.
There was no light in the room, only the moonlight illuminated half of the bed. Half of Gu Qingye's face was shrouded in the moonlight, making him look even paler.
Lu Youyou's mind was in a mess and she didn't pay attention to her feet. She accidentally kicked the stool. Suddenly, there was a sharp sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet space.
"Comrade Lu, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I kicked my foot accidentally."
Li Mingde quietly retreated outside the door. Lu Youyou's heartbeat had not yet subsided. When she turned around, she was met with a pair of dim eyes.
Lu Youyou's breathing stopped and she stood there in a daze, as if she had been cast under a spell.
Her mind was blank, as if she had no emotions, or like a stove that had been unattended for a long time, with boiling water overflowing all over the floor.
Lu Youyou just watched, and tears fell the next second.
“Don’t… cry…”
These two short words seemed to have exhausted all of Gu Qingye's strength. He wanted to smile at Lu Youyou, but now even breathing caused unbearable pain.
The two people were neither far nor close. Gu Qingye raised his finger slightly. Lu Youyou saw it, but did not take a step forward.
Having experienced many joys and sorrows in the past few days, she thought she could face it calmly. But now, when she saw Gu Qingye open his eyes with her own eyes, she realized that there was a volcano hidden in her heart.
She couldn't laugh, and she didn't want to cry, but she couldn't stop her tears.
"Yu..."
After saying just one word, Gu Qingye could no longer speak and could only watch the person beside the bed.
The person who filled his heart when he was injured, unconscious, and unsure whether he could survive.
Lu Youyou lowered her head, her vision blurred, she couldn't even judge her current mood.
Happiness, fear, heartache, and unexpressible blame, the complex emotions wrapped her tightly like a net.
Finally, she was pulled forward little by little by Gu Qingye's gaze, until the warm and cold fingertips intertwined.
The strength in his hands was almost negligible, and one could only feel his strength from the slight trembling of his fingertips.
Gu Qingye watched greedily.
While floating on the sea, there were countless moments when he thought he would let her down.
Fortunately, he is still alive.
He had a lot to say. He wanted to apologize, to comfort her, to wipe away her tears, but now he could only watch and even speaking was a luxury.
Lu Youyou finally calmed down, raised her head, and their eyes met.
"You... go to sleep first and have a good rest. We can talk later if you have anything to say."
Gu Qingye didn't move, nor did he close his eyes. He just looked at her steadily.
Lu Youyou's heart beat irregularly, and the complicated emotions that she had just suppressed surged up again.
"The doctor said you need to rest. I'm going to sleep too. I'll see you tomorrow."
Before she had time to think clearly, her body had already made the decision.
Lu Youyou stood outside the door with his back to the ward, his right hand on the handle, less than ten centimeters away from closing the lock.
Li Mingde did not leave the corridor, as if he didn't understand why Lu Youyou suddenly came out again.
"Comrade Lu, do you need any help?"
Lu Youyou didn't know why she was so confused and couldn't figure it out, and now was not the time to sort it out.
"He's awake. Please take care of him tonight."
Li Mingde didn't ask any more questions and just nodded in agreement.
Lu Youyou let go of her hand and looked back, as if she could see inside through the wooden door.
She stood still and watched for a few seconds, then turned and disappeared into the corridor.
Li Mingde pushed the door open and saw Gu Qingye awake. He was stunned for a moment and immediately walked to the bed: "Comrade Gu, you are awake. Please wait a moment. I will call the doctor right away."
Soon, several doctors in white coats filed in and conducted another routine examination. Gu Qingye could do nothing. His heart had long been taken to some unknown place by Lu Youyou, and he could only lie on the hospital bed and let others do whatever they wanted.
She is sad.
He felt it.
This fact made Gu Qingye's heart hurt more than his body.
He spoke again, even though the physical pain he was in was comparable to that of a slow slicing of flesh and blood.
"Where... is she..."
Li Mingde was standing by the window and had already seen Lu Youyou sitting on the bench downstairs.
"Comrade Lu is in the yard. Comrade Zhuifeng and Comrade Xiao Huihui are beside her."
"She...lives..."
Gu Qingye had to stop talking halfway, frowning and holding his breath to endure the excruciating pain.
Li Mingde was assigned to take care of the patient, so he was naturally good at observing people's words and expressions. He immediately replied, "Comrade Lu lives next door to you. The organization has arranged someone to take care of him. Don't worry."
Gu Qingye’s brows gradually relaxed.
Fortunately, she is still here and has not left.
In just half an hour, all his strength was exhausted, and he fell asleep again after learning that Lu Youyou was safe and sound.
After another detailed examination, the doctor left only after confirming that the patient was just asleep.
Qi Simiao was somewhat surprised that Lu Youyou was not there, so he could only instruct Li Mingde: "If the patient is still asleep, don't worry about it. Once he wakes up, call a doctor immediately."
"Yes, I remember that."
In the yard
Lu Youyou sat there blankly, staring at the moon in a daze.
Suddenly she laughed at herself.
What is she sad about?
After spending so much effort to save a person's life, he left it to someone else?
Didn't he manage to do what he promised?
She had been worried and frightened for so long, only to find that her efforts were almost in vain. She couldn't say anything or complain. Is it wrong to sacrifice herself for others?
She didn't think she did anything wrong, but when things happened to her, she seemed unable to be as great as a saint.
She understood Gu Qingye's choice, but it was difficult for her to accept it for a while.
Reason and emotion were pulling at each other, and there was a looming moral judgment, and Lu Youyou's heart was a tangled mess.
Zhuifeng tilted his head and looked around, and he couldn't understand why the atmosphere suddenly became wrong.
It looked at Xiao Huihui, and the cheap big brother seemed not to care about anything and was just being a competent stuffed toy.
Xiao Huihui glanced at it lightly and said, "It's just that the laborer disappointed us. Little brother, you should think about who you are going to live with if your parents get divorced!"
