Chapter 115 Heartbeat



His eyes seemed to have magic power. Zhu Jin looked into his eyes and lost her sense of the surroundings. She could not hear the noise around her. It was as if there were only the two of them in the world. At that moment, there was only Chonglou in Zhu Jin's world. All her attention was on Chonglou, his every subtle expression, his every word...

"Zhu Jin, these past two days I have been thinking about dissecting the man who influenced you in your dream, then knocking you out and feeding you a bowl of Meng Po soup to lead you out of your dream..."

Meng Po soup...that was what she wanted to drink the most.

"Zhu Jin, I have been looking forward to being in your dream before going to bed these past two days, but I can't dream of you no matter what. In my dream, there is no man by your side, and I don't know where to start... Zhu Jin, maybe, in your previous life, I was the one who protected you without you knowing..."

"Who cares about your past life, Zhu Jin? I don't care about your past life. What I want is your present life..."

"So, Zhu Jin, forget about that dream. That dream is definitely not real. Everything is false. Only I, only the me of this life, is real and exists. You can really touch it..."

Chonglou grabbed Zhu Jin's hand and placed it on his pounding heart. The "thump...thump..." sounds came one after another, without stopping.

Zhu Jin's heart was warm and beating rapidly, and his nose was filled with Chonglou's scent, a masculine scent that made people blush and their hearts beat faster. Although Chonglou was not close to him, Zhu Jin felt as if he was surrounded by him.

His aura occupied Zhu Jin's whole world...

Zhu Jin heard his own strong heart, which was slightly different from the heartbeat he saw in medical books and superb medical skills. It slowly accelerated, feeling familiar yet strange.

This kind of heartbeat, which once only belonged to Shang Lu, began beating again a hundred years later because of the Chonglou in front of him...

Obviously, he was still a big boy before...

Chonglou, whom she had always treated as a big boy, awakened her heartbeat with just a few words and actions at this place and time.

For the first time, Zhu Jin saw the naughty and reliable boy as a member of the opposite sex. She tried to abandon her inherent thinking and pulled herself back to the time when she and her sisters were blushing and discussing the future married life, what age she expected her future husband to be, and looked at Chonglou with a new perspective.

Chonglou held Zhu Jin's cool and slender hand, placed it on his chest as if obsessed, and gently stroked it, while his low voice slowly bewitched Zhu Jin.

"Zhu Jin, follow me. I will help you forget everything in your dream. I will help you make your life wonderful, your world colorful, and give you the confidence to be my wife..."

Each whisper is like the sweet words between lovers.

Every word of the promise seems like an eternal promise.

Sound by sound, word by word, bit by bit, everything that happened in Chonglou at that moment was miraculously and clearly imprinted in Zhu Jin's mind. The memory was so clear that he couldn't explain it later.

Later, regarding that day, Zhu Jin only remembered Chonglou's heartbeat, her own heartbeat, the way Chonglou spoke, and his eyes that only had her shadow, but she could no longer remember what he said specifically.

Her heartbeat came too suddenly. Zhu Jin was caught off guard and was actually shocked when she reacted. She could never have imagined that her heartbeat would be like that.

That day, whether it was the lively dinner or going home to rest, Zhu Jin was a little out of shape. It was not until he woke up the next day, looked at the dazzling sunlight, and felt the scorching warmth of the sunlight that Zhu Jin reacted, no, accepted the fact that his heart was beating for Chonglou.

Zhu Jin stood in the hospital corridor, watching the tall, young, smiling Chonglou approach and stop in front of her.

"I'm here. Did you sleep well last night?" Chonglou, as usual, surrounded her with passion like a ball of fire, ignoring her indifference. He put his arm around Zhu Jin's shoulders without hesitation and looked down at her, winking at her in a familiar way. "Did you dream about me? I heard your heartbeat yesterday..."

As a doctor, the top doctor on the Blue Water Planet, Chonglou knows the human body very well and is familiar with all its reactions and heartbeats.

Chonglou's winking expression turned into excitement. With that kind of unbridled and endearing pride, he hugged Zhu Jin tightly and announced proudly and carefully, "Zhu Jin, this is the first time... the first time since you lost your memory... the first time I heard your heartbeat that was out of its normal frequency, because of me!"

"Yes, yes, it's because of you." Zhu Jin couldn't help laughing, and then she realized that she was used to Chonglou's hugs and touches at any time and anywhere.

Chonglou was satisfied when he saw Zhu Jin's smile. He put his arm around Zhu Jin and continued to walk. He held his head high and showed off his power, declaring that only he could have such an intimate relationship with Zhu Jin. While showing off his power, he did not forget to assure Zhu Jin, "You will definitely find more charm in me in the future. I guarantee that my charm will make you sink into it and you can't extricate yourself!"

Chonglou was waiting for Zhu Jin to laugh again, but instead he got Zhu Jin's serious nod. "If one day I can't help myself and you still feel the same way, we'll be together, Chonglou." Zhu Jin answered carefully and seriously. It was more like a promise, a promise that once spoken, he would do his best to keep and fulfill.

Because of this promise, he will change drastically in her world and in her heart. From then on, he, Chonglou, will be the most different and important person in Zhu Jin's life that she can consider entrusting her life to.

Chonglou saw the meaning of those few simple words from Zhu Jin's prudence.

The arrogance on Chonglou's face disappeared completely. He stopped and looked at Zhu Jin seriously. He nodded cautiously, "Okay, Zhu Jin, we will wait for the day you mentioned."

No one knew the turbulent waves in Chonglou's heart at that quiet and cautious moment. He had seen many scenes of confessions and acceptances, and he had experienced it himself, but he had never seen or heard such caution. However, this caution made him even more excited.

This was Zhu Jin, the Zhu Jin that had trapped him hopelessly, the one and only Zhu Jin in the world.

Looking at Zhu Jin, who was serious and cautious, responsible for her own life and even more responsible for his life, Chonglou suddenly felt that no matter whether that day came or not, his relationship was worth it.

Chonglou gently pulled Zhu Jin's hand up and carefully made a high-five gesture, "Zhu Jin, let's high-five to swear an oath!"

He wanted to succeed today as he had failed to make the high-five vow last time because of his mischief.

"Zhu Jin, I look forward to that day. If that day doesn't come, we should send each other off without regrets and walk out of each other's world from now on."

Be a free and selfish lover, don't be friends, don't be nostalgic, protect yourself and you, let the heartbeat and love of the past remain unchanged. Even if there is no future, there will be no regrets or resentment.

Chonglou is a paranoid person. He only wants to be the one and only in Zhu Jin's life, no matter if it is the only one to accompany him for a lifetime or just for a few months or years.

Zhu Jin is someone he will never forget, and he must also become someone Zhu Jin will never forget.

This is his Chonglou.

Chonglou raised his hand, smiled, and waited for Zhu Jin.

"Okay." Zhu Jin slowly stretched out his hand, "Zhonglou, I look forward to that day. If that day doesn't come, we should send each other away without regrets and walk out of each other's world from now on."

Zhu Jin looked at Chonglou and cheered for her courage and determination to move forward. So what if she was impulsive, crazy, and not like herself?

This is Chonglou, the man she chooses without hesitation or worry after a heartbeat and who wants to give her a chance. He never lets her down.

At this moment, Zhu Jin suddenly hoped that the innocent self who was not afraid of disappearing to love a hundred years ago could come back and grab the happiness that was within reach.

"Pa...pa...pa" the sound of high fives came one after another, Zhu Jin and Chonglou looked at each other and high fived as an oath.

If we love each other, we will be together. If we don’t love each other, we will send each other off without any regrets and walk out of each other’s world.

Leave no regrets and no resentment.

Zhu Jin's first patient of the day was a patient with an ulterior motive. She had made an appointment a few days ago in order to slap Zhu Jin. The dull woman sat firmly, and before Zhu Jin could ask anything, she stretched out her hand to hit Zhu Jin without hesitation, but the raised hand did not fall on Zhu Jin in the end.

The moment Zhu Jin raised her hand, her chair bounced back suddenly. Basil, who was sitting next to her and starting to formally learn from Zhu Jin, quickly grabbed her hand.

"Who sent you?" Basil's eyes were filled with anger and coldness, and he restrained the dull woman without mercy.

“…I don’t know, someone gave me money.” The dull woman answered, and then she didn’t say another word. She only said these seven words from beginning to end. After the police were called, they came to investigate and found out that her seriously ill daughter was undergoing surgery and the huge surgery fee had been paid.

The last clue could not be found.

Zhu Jin continued to see patients. When he saw the fifth patient, it was another person who waved to Zhu Jin. He made the same gesture, was a man who didn't talk much and needed money. After receiving the money, the hospital tried its best to slap Zhu Jin in the face. If it succeeded, there would be a reward.

Luo Le was so angry that his face turned red. He could not imagine that someone would be so crazy and unscrupulous to Zhu Jin. Zhu Jin listened to the second person's words and thought about it, then she showed a look of realization. The police asked her, but she shook her head and did not say who it was.

"I don't know who it is, but it's definitely someone who is dissatisfied with me. I can't find out anything, so thank you for your help." Zhu Jin asked Luo Le to send the police out and told him not to call the police again.

"Who is it, Doctor Zhu Jin, you know it, right?"

"I have a rough idea in my mind, but even if I knew who the police were, there's nothing they can do. I can only handle it myself. Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss." Zhu Jin looked at Basil and comforted him softly.

This little trick was extremely insulting, but it was not acceptable. It was just a warning and a small revenge. She had plenty of ways to fight back, fight back with her own hands, and revenge was a piece of cake.

"The police can't do anything, but I have a way..." Basil looked at Zhu Jin's expression and thought of a way to deal with him without thinking.

Not long after, another one sneaked in. She was hit until she was dizzy just as she raised her hand. The third attacker was given a slight concussion by Basil's "self-defense". One side of his face was swollen. Looking at her, Basil finally breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his hands and raised his head, "Great!"

Zhu Jin tried hard to hold back his laughter.

After the nurse took away the woman who was trying to attack Zhu Jin and was accused of "self-defense", the morning's treatment ended successfully.

After seeing off the last patient, when Zhu Jin and Luo Le walked out of the clinic to have lunch, Helian Zhen, fully armed with a hat, sunglasses and mask, stood at the empty door.

"..." Zhu Jin was silent, not knowing how the hospital had become Princess Zhen's tourist attraction. She wanted to ignore it and walk past it, but Helian Zhen grabbed her hand tightly.

"Sister, talk to me." With a strange voice and a strange tone, Helian Zhen seemed to have become a different person. "Five minutes will be enough. I have something important to tell you."

"Doctor Zhu Jin?" Basil looked at Helian Zhen warily.

"I really have something important to ask you, just five minutes." Helian Zhen looked at Zhu Jin stubbornly.

Zhu Jin looked down at her slightly trembling hands, helplessly asked Luo Le to wait for a moment, and returned to the clinic with Helian Zhen. Helian Zhen's mental state was extremely unstable. If she didn't talk to her, she didn't know how she would make a fuss, and she didn't know what the important thing she was talking about was.

Soon, Zhu Jin found out what Helian Zhen meant by important thing.

"Sister, did you tell Lian Huier that the historical data was found, organized and researched by A Lu?" Helian Zhen sat down, took off his mask and sunglasses, looked at Zhu Jin and asked straight to the point.

After hearing her words, Zhu Jin raised his mouth and smiled.
