Chapter 68 Someone Saved Me
Wen Shuang was still comforting Xuan Zhe on the way to the hospital, but after a series of examinations, the fatigue and pain that came to him belatedly overwhelmed him. It seemed to be the third examination... or the fourth time, Wen Shuang couldn't remember clearly. He was in a daze, with half-open eyes, looking at the blurred ceiling. Fortunately, Xuan Zhe was always there. The man occasionally leaned close to his ear and said something, and his hot breath hit his ears. Wen Shuang felt a little itchy, but it was difficult for him to even move.
He suffered a minor fracture of the right rib and was given anesthesia.
There was no dislocation, so the doctor chose the most conservative method and fixed his waist with plaster. Wen Shuang had a slight fever that night, but slept soundly.
Xuan Zhe remained calm throughout the entire process. He listened carefully to the doctor's words, keeping every word in mind. At the same time, he arranged Tang Weisheng's surgery, and then asked someone to investigate Lu Li. He did not seem to be at all panicked by Wen Shuang's accident. But when everything calmed down and he finally had time to stay by Wen Shuang's side, the fear that only he knew came over him like a tide.
Xuan Zhe pushed away the hair that was blocking Wen Shuang's eyes and stared at her quietly. He knew clearly that this man was a fragile person, but he still let him face Lu Li alone.
Oh, right... Lu Li, there was no light in the ward, but the darkness in Xuanzhe's eyes became the brightest existence. They were tightly condensed together, urging the man to sort out the whole story bit by bit.
Xuanzhe can be sure of one thing, Wen Shuang is not her original body. According to his observations during this period, she should not be from this world because there is not even the slightest connection between them.
The signs really started when the young man stopped him from traveling during a rainstorm. Wen Shuang seemed to know something in advance and refused to retreat. The anxiety and worry in his eyes could not be faked. Then there was his concern and subtle hostility towards Lu Li. Wen Shuang seemed to know very well that he would always be the one who suffered when he was with Lu Li. Of course, this was also the reality. In other words, the young man had some predictive ability.
So what was on Lu Li's body? Xuan Zhe couldn't help but think of the disgusting smell that Lu Li exuded when he found them at the foot of the mountain.
Tan Li also said during the day that he didn't know how Lu Li managed to pull two people down at once.
But what if he hadn't done it?
Xuanzhe does not believe in gods and Buddhas and does not respect ghosts and gods, but at this moment he is thinking about a lot of irrelevant things. But is it really irrelevant? Xuanzhe thinks otherwise. He is more sober than ever.
Lu Li's inspection report finally came out, and Cao Nanyu sent it directly to Xuanzhe's mobile phone. He did not have the courage to face the storm.
Xuanzhe took a quick look and found that his leg was indeed broken.
He closed his phone and ignored it, quietly accompanying Wen Shuang.
…
"You...you actually..." Lu Li stayed in the ward alone because his leg was broken not long ago. During the examination, those people didn't know whether they did it on purpose or forgot to give him any anesthetic, and the pain was excruciating. Lu Li roughly guessed that it was Xuanzhe's intention, otherwise most people would not dare to put their hands there. He lay in the empty ward with a hoarse and broken voice, as if he was talking to the air.
"There's no way. If your leg bones weren't broken, you'd be dead today." The electronic voice rang out in Lu Li's mind, bland and indifferent. After all, it couldn't feel the host's pain. "You think Xuanzhe is easy to talk to? He immediately checked to see if you were injured. It's obvious that he's suspicious of you."
Lu Li knew the system was right, but once a person is tortured by pain and their will is weak, they are likely to lose their temper and blame others. "If I had known this would happen, I would have targeted Xuan Zhe first!"
"Impossible." The system was not polite at all. "I told you, Xuanzhe is the ceiling of this world, and he won't be easily affected by your charm value. You can only take advantage of him when he is at his most vulnerable. Unfortunately, my prediction was wrong. If he had gone on the elevated road on the day of the rainstorm, he would have been in an accident. If you showed up then, everything would have fallen into place."
Lu Li's eyes were red and he was very unwilling. "Can you predict it again?"
"You've used up all the energy you gained from Zheng Yuanfei, Zhong Ming, and the others through your Charisma. I'm currently unable to activate the prediction function." The system spoke slowly, but for no reason it tormented Lu Li's nerves, as if mocking his failure. "Also, Zhong Ming seems to have slipped out of your control. During the day, I noticed that his favorability towards you has completely dropped to zero."
"Shut up!" The veins on Lu Li's forehead throbbed wildly. After a moment, he chuckled a little crazily, "It's like starting over after resetting to zero. It's the same."
The system is rarely uncertain: "Is it okay?"
"You are not a human being, what do you know?" Lu Li said bluntly.
The system was not angry about his outburst, or rather, it had no emotional perception, but at this moment it felt a kind of "regret". It had chosen Lu Li among millions of people because of the strong unwillingness and almost crazy obsession that was imprinted on his soul.
Extreme souls are more likely to accomplish things.
Before his death, Lu Li had no close friends, and his parents were unwilling to visit him even when they were still alive. He was a complete failure in life. He got a system to live a new life, standing in the sun with a brand new identity, and obsessively wanted the love of everyone in the world. To use the professional terms in the novel, he wanted to become a "heartthrob".
So Lu Li made a deal with the system. The system helped him to conquer all the important people around him step by step. When his charm value was full, the system would get enough energy to leave here. As for where to go, no one knew.
It started smoothly. Although Zheng Yuanfei was arrogant, he cared about Lu Li very much and gave him a lot of energy in return, not to mention the group of lickers represented by Zhong Ming. But the system gradually found something wrong - Lu Li's behavior and emotions were too fake, he was a complete egoist. Although the system did not understand human emotions, it knew that this would not work. What made it even more worried was that Xuan Zhe, who was at the ceiling level, had fallen in love with Wen Shuang.
However, there was something on Wen Shuang's body that repelled the system's energy. The system tried to invade it several times, even suspecting that this person was bound to other systems, but found nothing.
The system doesn’t know that there is such a thing as “koi physique”.
The system went into hibernation, and I started to worry about my future again. I didn't know when I would be able to leave this world with Lu Li.
Xuanzhe spent the night on another bed in the ward. The next morning, he opened his eyes almost as soon as Wen Shuang heard a light groan.
Wen Shuang was not fully awake yet, so Xuan Zhe hurried to wash up. When he came out of the bathroom wrapped in fresh water vapor, he saw that Wen Shuang's eyes were red and she was struggling to sit up.
"Don't move!" Xuanzhe frowned fiercely, stepped forward and embraced the man. Seeing the crystal glitter on his eyelashes, he immediately changed his tone and said softly, "It hurts a lot."
"Yeah." Wen Shuang was not someone who could tolerate pain well. In her previous life, she would need her grandfather to comfort her for a long time whenever she got bumped or bruised. Later, when her grandfather was gone, she slowly learned to restrain herself. But in this life, with Xuanzhe around, that fragile nature was aroused from within her bones again.
Wen Shuang's waist was fixed, so he could only sit up to get up. He leaned in Xuan Zhe's arms and let the doctor who came later to examine him. He didn't want to pay attention to anyone and tried his best to resist the pain. After drinking some porridge and taking a few painkillers, his tense nerves finally relaxed.
He was still lucky. Tang Weisheng next door had just made a small incision below his chest. Tang Wansu definitely couldn't be notified. If she came, there would be no telling what kind of trouble she would cause. Xuan Zhe was too busy to take care of her, so the task of taking care of her naturally fell on Tan Li.
If it were any other time, Tan Li would definitely be happy, but these past two days, let alone being happy, she was almost numb from the heartache.
Tang Weisheng woke up once last night. As soon as Tan Li entered the room, he saw him trying to reach for the empty water cup on the table. He was teetering on the edge of the bed. He immediately lost two of his three souls and hurried to hold him up. Tang Weisheng was not thinking clearly and thought he was alone. When he saw Tan Li, he was stunned for a long time and muttered, "You're here..."
Before Tan Li could react, he heard Tang Weisheng muttering again: "It's good that you're here. I thought I couldn't drink water again."
Tang Wansu focused all her efforts on Xuanzhong and the hostess, and paid little attention to Tang Weisheng. In the past, when she was sick or in pain, he had to bear it all by himself, and even had difficulty drinking a glass of water when he was thirsty.
Tan Li held the man's hand and stood by the bed for a long time. He felt a sharp pain in his chest. Then Tang Weisheng struggled and whispered, "Can I have some water?"
"Yes." Tan Li replied.
In fact, it is not possible. Drinking water is not allowed for three days after the operation. Tan Li just used a cotton swab dipped in warm water to make Tang Weisheng feel less uncomfortable.
Yang Lian postponed all of Wen Shuang's schedules. He came once during the trip, but because President Xuan took care of her in every possible way, he felt like a light bulb. So he told Wen Shuang to have a good rest and left.
Wen Shuang had been wearing the plaster around her waist for almost a week. Thanks to Xuan Zhe's careful care, her wings had grown strong. As soon as the plaster was removed that morning, the little quail couldn't wait to fly to President Xuan's head and run wild.
"Don't use so much force." Xuanzhe pulled the man forward and gently pressed the injured area: "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, just a little sore." Wen Shuang answered truthfully, "I'm fine now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Nanyu knocked on the door and came in, holding a large box in his hand. Xuanzhe looked over and asked, "What is that?"
"A gift for your brother."
Xuanzhe frowned subconsciously: "What gift are you preparing for him?"
"They saved me." Wen Shuang waited until Cao Nanyu left before she could help but expose Xuan Zhe. "Why are you pretending not to care? At noon, you were still standing at the door asking the doctor how Tang Weisheng was recovering, and you told him to use the best medicine. I'd say you two are brothers, both so stubborn."
Xuanzhe: “…”
Wen Shuang is not a tough guy. When he speaks sweetly, it's like honey, and he can get along happily with anyone.
Of course, Tang Weisheng is not among these people.
Tang Weisheng was originally sitting at the head of the bed eating a bowl of bland porridge and a small plate of pickled radish. When he heard the noise, he thought it was Tan Li. He was about to complain about the blandness of his lunch, but unexpectedly he ran into Wen Shuang's smiling face.
I suddenly lost my appetite.
Tang Weisheng used to be a staunch materialist, but once he met Wen Shuang, he became extremely unlucky.
"Are you feeling better?" Wen Shuang put her hands behind her back, and a box was faintly visible.
"I'd be fine if you didn't come." Tang Weisheng injured his lungs, so his voice was a little lisp and he lacked confidence, but his expression was as indifferent as ever.
Wen Shuang was not angry. Instead, she placed the box behind her on the small table in front of Tang Weisheng with a bang and opened the lid. Inside were six SpongeBob SquarePants with different expressions. Each one was as big as an adult's palm, with bright colors and fine workmanship that was visibly fine to the naked eye.
"It cost me two months' salary to find a big boss to do it." Wen Shuang said it with some pain, but with hidden anticipation.
Tang Weisheng's eyes were fixed on Wen Shuang. Seeing that there was still half of the porridge left in his bowl, he immediately closed the lid. This was like blocking some kind of signal transmission. Tang Weisheng suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Wen Shuang with a vigilant face: "Why, you can't bear to part with it?"
"I've already bought it, but I don't like it." Wen Shuang raised her chin: "Finish your porridge, and these are all yours."
Tang Weisheng narrowed his eyes: "Is this true?" According to Tang Weisheng's financial resources, he could afford it. On the contrary, if he wanted, he could build a special house for all the figures and peripherals. However, Tang Wansu's scolding and denial about this since he was a child made him develop an instinctive escape mentality. But it was different if others gave him gifts. That was accepting gifts, not "self-degradation."
Wen Shuang: “Yeah.”
When Tan Li and Xuan Zhe pushed the door open, they heard Wen Shuang's urgent words of comfort: "No, no, no, it's all yours, drink slowly, why are you holding the bowl and pouring it directly?"
Tang Weisheng finished the porridge in a few mouthfuls, then asked Tan Li to put the box under the bed. At the end, he put on a fake smile and looked at Xuan Zhe and Wen Shuang, with a clear expression of "Why don't you leave yet?", a typical ruthless attitude.
"How did you tell your mother?" Xuanzhe asked.
Tang Weisheng coughed lightly, and the wind brought the fragrance of flowers from the yard, carrying with it a sense of late autumn desolation. "Just say you're on a business trip."
Tan Li patted his back gently, then walked to the window and closed it.
Xuanzhe nodded and looked at Tan Li: "What did the doctor say?"
Tang Weisheng glared at him, but Tan Li wouldn't let him off easy on this matter. "It's not seriously damaged, but autumn is coming soon. If you don't take good care of yourself, the coughing symptoms may get worse."
Xuanzhe said succinctly: "Just stare at it."
Tan Li: "No problem."
Xuanzhe nodded, and the two men reached a consensus in an instant.
After Xuanzhe and Wenshuang left, Tang Weisheng questioned Tan Li dissatisfiedly: "Why did you say this to Xuanzhe? I don't need sympathy."
"Don't worry." Tan Li made him some loquat paste to moisten his throat and said patiently, "Your brother is just worried about you. I don't believe you can't see it."
Tang Weisheng snorted lightly, but his eyes softened a little.
"I loved eating candy when I was a kid." Tang Weisheng suddenly said, "But I don't like it anymore."
"You're both right." Tan Li continued, "Also, you can eat candy at any time, regardless of age."
Tang Weisheng wanted to say something, but something hard was stuffed into his mouth. The sweet taste of his saliva dissipated all at once. He was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt a little at a loss.
It's a candy.
When did Tan Li prepare it?
Tang Weisheng moved his tongue and puffed up one cheek, but he didn't spit it out.
After Wen Shuang passed all the tests, Xuanzhe took him out of the hospital.
