Chapter 21 Qiao Qiao is distressed
Ye Qiaoqiao noticed the wound on his arm at the first moment. She saw that his military uniform was covered with a mixture of dirt, frost, and blood, and there were several bloodstains on his resolute face.
Before Ye Qiaoqiao could run over, Fu Juechuan hurriedly escorted a soldier on a stretcher and quickly walked in through the side door of the hospital. Following him were other injured soldiers who were carried in by nurses.
Ye Qiaoqiao walked over but was stopped and not allowed to get closer.
Ye Qiaoqiao had no choice but to quickly re-enter the hospital through the main gate to find out the location of these soldiers.
After entering the hospital, Ye Qiaoqiao took out her military family ID and finally found out the news.
In the ward, Fu Juechuan was lying on the bed, his face wrapped in thick gauze and receiving an IV. His lips were pale and chapped, and his skin was a shade paler, but if you look closely at his hands, they were red and swollen from frostbite.
"Brother Fu!"
Ye Qiaoqiao took two or three steps forward and subconsciously reached out to touch his hand, only to find that it was still cold.
"Qiao Qiao? Why are you here?" Fu Juechuan had his eyes closed to rest, but when he heard the voice, he suddenly opened his eyes. He thought he was hallucinating, otherwise how could he see Qiao Qiao looking at him with concern.
"My uncle came to the hospital to check his stomach. I happened to see the military vehicle downstairs and saw you enter the hospital, so I came here." Ye Qiaoqiao quickly told her story, and then couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Fu, how did you get hurt? Is the injury serious? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"My injury is not serious, just my arm was smashed. The regiment commander asked me to bring the wounded to the hospital for emergency treatment. After the infusion is finished, I will go back to continue supporting."
Fu Juechuan subconsciously said everything he could, just like Ye Qiaoqiao told him everything, he also didn't want Qiaoqiao to worry about him.
"But your hands are frostbitten, and the wound on your arm is not big, so why does it need to be bandaged so severely?" Ye Qiaoqiao knew that being a soldier was hard. She used to be in awe of her father's soldiers, but this time when she saw Fu Juechuan's red and swollen hands, she felt a little distressed.
Ye Qiaoqiao couldn't help herself and reached out to gently grasp his exposed big hand.
Fu Juechuan's fingers, which had been feeling nothing at first, suddenly felt hot. He subconsciously curled up his fingertips and only heard himself say, "It's not a fracture, just a scratch. I'm getting an IV to avoid not being able to use my strength for a while."
"Just get used to frostbite. Every year when there is a rain or snow disaster, there are these tasks. Don't worry, it's not a big deal."
He just felt that the voice was far away from his ears, and he couldn't even hear what he was saying. He could only see Ye Qiaoqiao's delicate little face.
"Brother Fu, before you left, you told me to take good care of myself. But you don't even care about your own life? Don't you want to live with me in the future?" Ye Qiaoqiao bit her lip subconsciously when she said this.
"No." Fu Juechuan said hurriedly and resolutely, looking at her deeply, "I am not taking any risks, and I want to live a good life with you."
He was unconsciously a little nervous, not knowing whether he was afraid that Ye Qiaoqiao would misunderstand him, or be disappointed in him, or just dislike his job.
Ye Qiaoqiao didn't notice his expression and turned around to get some hot water with the kettle.
The nurse at the hospital smiled and said, "Some soldiers went to fight."
Ye Qiaoqiao sat back down after hearing that.
"Brother Fu, I believe you can take care of yourself, but I can't help but worry about you when you go on a mission." Ye Qiaoqiao took out the frostbite cream from the drawer and tapped his arm with her finger, "I'll apply the frostbite cream on you."
Fu Juechuan couldn't bear to refuse. His Adam's apple rolled and his eyes fell on her deeply.
"Thank you, Jojo."
"I'm sorry to have made you worry."
His voice was a little low and hoarse, obviously suffering from the discomfort caused by being frozen.
Ye Qiaoqiao's delicate fingers were rubbing quickly on his palm. She was very strong, fearing that the medicine would not wear off. But when she wiped, she found that Fu Juechuan's fingers were rough. His big hands, which originally had distinct finger bones, were deformed due to the cold, especially the joints.
She felt even more worried, so she wiped it more carefully, lowered her head, and wiped every gap between her fingers carefully.
Fu Juechuan's fingers trembled a little, and he felt so hot that they were numb.
"Brother Fu, I know that the conditions for you to carry out your mission are difficult, but if I were to ask someone to order special frostbite ointment, could you take it with you?" Ye Qiaoqiao asked with a frown.
Fu Juechuan's voice was hoarse. He lowered his eyes and looked at her sitting on the bed, staring at his palms intently, as if she could never get tired of looking at them.
"The troops have distributed supplies."
"I know the army will give it out, but the army is also short of supplies. You can tell at a glance that it's useless. Forget it, I'll just donate supplies to the army."
Fu Juechuan subconsciously refused, not wanting her to waste money.
"I used to donate supplies to the army, so don't worry, Brother Fu, that I don't have money." Ye Qiaoqiao explained.
Unexpectedly, her words made Fu Juechuan's pounding heartbeat feel like a bucket of cold water was poured on it, making it feel a little sour.
"Brother Fu, what supplies does your team need on this mission?" Ye Qiaoqiao asked.
"You can donate some cotton-padded clothes, coal, and boil some hot water when it's cold to save supplies, which is also very effective." Of course, you can also provide hot water to soak steamed buns for the soldiers who are rescuing the collapsed roads caused by rain and snow.
"Okay, can I go to the disaster area with you this afternoon?" Ye Qiaoqiao asked immediately.
Fu Juechuan was surprised, "You...are going to the disaster area with me?"
"Yes, I am worried about you going on the mission alone. If you are going to a war zone, it will definitely be inconvenient for me. But if it is a disaster area, I happen to be delivering a batch of supplies over, and the battalion commander in charge will definitely be willing to let me go in to help." Ye Qiaoqiao looked up at him with a smile.
Fu Juechuan's heart, which had turned cold, started beating again, and he felt as if all his emotions were controlled by her.
Every smile, every word and every action attracted his attention.
Fu Juechuan only indulged himself for a while, then immediately calmed down, "No, it's too dangerous over there."
"I don't care. Brother Fu, even if you don't let me go, I can still find out the news and donate supplies." Ye Qiaoqiao couldn't help but act like a spoiled child as if she was talking to her father.
Fu Juechuan had never experienced such treatment before. His chest felt hot and he took a deep breath to control himself. "Qiao Qiao, I'm doing this for your own good."
He persuaded softly.
Seeing his weak refusal, Ye Qiaoqiao was unwilling to give up. She not only walked around the bed to his other uninjured arm, but also grabbed his other big hand, put it in front of her, and said with a smile, "Brother Fu, let's make it this way."
