Chapter 231: Eye of the Typhoon
Xu Rongyu frowned. He had sent Xu Yihuan away so that he could discuss this matter with Tan Zhixu in private.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yihuan overheard it.
"Huanhuan, why are you back?"
Xu Rong asked.
Xu Yihuan never expected that her initial guess was mostly correct. However, she hadn't thought things through enough. If she thought the car accident had nothing to do with Tan Zhixu, then the whole thing wasn't his doing.
"Come back to get the book."
Xu Yihuan pursed her lips, trying to maintain a calm expression, and walked to the small desk next to her, taking down the red book.
Neither of them answered Xu Yihuan's question.
Xu Yihuan took it as tacit agreement.
Her hands, hanging at her sides, trembled slightly.
Without saying anything more, and without looking at Tan Zhixu, he turned and left.
Tan Zhixu subconsciously reached out and grabbed Xu Yihuan's wrist.
"Let me explain."
"I didn't expect Tan Zhicheng to be so extreme. I admit I shouldn't have dragged you into this, but I really couldn't wait any longer. I could only secretly watch you and Jiang Jinnan together every day, and I was really jealous of him, which is why I took such a drastic step."
"It was my fault, Huanhuan."
Xu Yihuan stopped in her tracks, feeling nothing after hearing those words.
When the emotions in your heart are torn to the extreme, all that remains is calm.
Like a raging typhoon, its eye was calm.
She felt like she was going crazy.
My mood fluctuated wildly over the course of just one month.
The tears in Xu Yihuan's eyes slowly receded.
His eyes met Tan Zhixu's gaze directly.
Tan Zhixu's lips curled slightly, his eyes filled with a blatant attempt to please.
Xu Yihuan reached out and pried Tan Zhixu's hands off her arm one by one.
"Goodbye, that's enough."
After Xu Yihuan finished speaking, she strode away.
Tan Zhixu tried to chase after him, but Xu Rongyu grabbed him.
As Xu Yihuan's figure was about to disappear from his sight, Tan Zhixu was so anxious that sweat was about to pour from his forehead.
She dared not struggle too much, for fear of hurting Xu Rongyu.
"Please let me go."
Xu Rongyu grabbed Tan Zhixu and pinned him to a stool.
"Why don't you sit down and rest for a while?"
"Huanhuan needs to have her own time now."
“I didn’t say she can’t have her own time, but I need to be able to see her!”
After speaking in a deep voice, Tan Zhixu stood up and tried to walk outside.
This is harder to control than a pig during the Lunar New Year.
After struggling for a while, thinking about the progress of Xu Yihuan's departure, Xu Rongyu let go.
As soon as he let go, Tan Zhixu darted away.
Xu Rongyu watched Tan Zhixu's retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
He could tell that the two children were truly in love, but given Huanhuan's personality, it was hard to say what would happen based on what they had been through.
Xu Yihuan sat in the car, leaning against the seat, and reached out to press her temples.
My mind was filled with what I had just heard.
It was Tan Zhixu who caused them to end up like this in order to capture Tan Zhicheng in one fell swoop.
Seeing Jiang Jinnan's miserable condition in the hospital, Xu Yihuan felt an indescribable mix of emotions.
In fact, in Xu Yihuan's heart...
She would be happy to participate if it would be more helpful to Tan Zhixu.
Even if she were the one lying in the hospital bed now, she would not have any complaints.
But unfortunately, this matter involves Jiang Jinnan.
Jiang Jinnan is completely innocent.
Just like the cause and effect spoken of by Buddha.
This entanglement, which originally involved only her and Tan Zhixu, has now been dragged into by a third person through Tan Zhixu.
Xu Yihuan felt terrible.
An indescribable feeling of unease.
"Brother Li, let's go to Puji Temple."
Driver Xiao Li hesitated because his superior was Xu Rongyu, and his mission was to get Xu Yihuan safely to school.
“I’ll talk to my dad, and nothing will happen to you.”
"Either you take me there, or you drop me off now and I'll take a taxi myself."
Driver Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Xu Yihuan's assurance.
"Yes, miss, I'll take you to Puji Temple."
Puji Temple was as crowded as ever.
The people who come may not be the same group as before, but what they want is nothing more than the same few things.
Xu Yihuan had no interest in climbing the mountain, so she took the cable car up the mountain instead.
The mountaintop was filled with the smell of burning candles and incense. The scenery was similar to when I last came, except that it had snowed.
The plum blossoms at Puji Temple are in full bloom right now, and they are planted in every courtyard.
Xu Yihuan went straight to the Ksitigarbha Hall.
The shop was filled with the sound of chanting, and a Buddha statue sat in the center, with a kind face and a gentle gaze, looking down on all living beings, holding a staff in its left hand and a jewel in its right.
It's as if with a wave of his hand, the person's illness would vanish without a trace.
Xu Yihuan bowed three times devoutly.
My only thought is that Jiangjin South will be safe.
As for the hidden motives behind this, it's enough for Xu Yihuan to know alone.
After offering incense, Xu Yihuan went to the Dharma item sales area and saw the exclusive bracelet from the Ksitigarbha Hall, so she bought one.
It was already afternoon when we left.
Xu Yihuan went to class as usual in the afternoon.
As soon as I reached the classroom door, I saw Tan Zhixu.
Tan Zhixu leaned against the wall, still looking lazy and listless, but his gloomy aura made people hesitate to approach.
As people came and went, many boys and girls looked at Tan Zhixu, finding it quite rare to see him in this state on campus.
Xu Yihuan walked straight past, but just as she was about to enter the glass door, Tan Zhixu grabbed her wrist.
"Huanhuan, I've already found an expert from the US. He can come for a consultation this afternoon. Jiang Jinnan will be fine."
As expected of Tan Zhixu, he figured out the cause of the symptoms with just a few thoughts.
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should praise him for being smart.
Xu Yihuan lowered her eyes and coldly withdrew her wrist.
"Let's talk about it later."
Tan Zhixu watched helplessly as Xu Yihuan walked through the door, but he couldn't follow her in, otherwise Xu Yihuan would be even angrier.
Tan Zhixu pursed his lips, turned and left.
Xu Yihuan sat by the window, the teacher's voice was right next to her, but she lost all interest in listening to the lesson.
He would glance at the back door every now and then.
Seeing that the figure was gone, Xu Yihuan finally snapped out of her reverie and tried her best to listen to the lesson.
After class, Xu Yihuan didn't go back to her dormitory; she went straight to the hospital.
Jiang Jinnan is still unconscious, and Jiang Huaiyuan has to work, so he can only ask a caregiver to take care of him.
Xu Yihuan already felt sympathy, and now her pity intensified.
The hospital is not far from the school.
Xu Yihuan arrived after a half-hour drive.
As she expected, there was no one in the ward except for the caregiver.
Xu Yihuan entered the ward, wanting to chat with him but not knowing what to say, so she could only talk about the progress of the construction site.
Xu Yihuan thought it was too dry.
Then I thought of the bracelet I bought at Puji Temple today.
Xu Yihuan took out the bracelet and casually slipped it onto Jiang Jinnan's wrist.
"This is for you. Get well soon."
Xu Yihuan didn't expect this to have any effect.
Just as Xu Yihuan returned from the restroom and was about to leave, Jiang Jinnan's eyelids twitched.
Xu Yihuan noticed that her whole body trembled as well.
He quickly reached out and pressed the call button to summon the doctor.
The doctor arrived quickly, but to Xu Yihuan's surprise, it was a foreign doctor.
Xu Yihuan then recalled what Tan Zhixu had said that afternoon.
The doctor quickly completed the examination and said that Jiang Jinnan showed signs of waking up, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would wake up in the next two days.
Xu Yihuan breathed a sigh of relief.
A smile appeared on his lips, the first one he'd had since leaving the house that day.
I was just about to ask something else.
The person on the bed stirred again.
This time I'm fully awake.
