Four hours passed quickly, but for Mu Liuyun and Li Shuo, time seemed to stand still, making it feel long and unbearable.
Finally, the words "Undergoing Emergency Treatment" on the operating room sign slowly went dark.
Mu Liuyun's heart skipped a beat, and she sprang up from her seat like a spring. She rushed to the operating room door, leaned forward slightly, stared intently at the closed door, clasped her hands tightly together, her palms already soaked with sweat, and looked anxiously at the door that was about to open.
Finally, with a slight noise, the operating room door slowly opened.
A doctor wearing a white coat, mask, and cap appeared at the door.
Upon seeing this, Mu Liuyun immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is she?"
The doctor took off his mask, revealing a slightly tired face. He took a deep breath and said, "The patient lost too much blood and the wound is very deep... but fortunately, no internal organs were damaged, and he is now out of danger."
After saying this, a barely perceptible hint of confidence and satisfaction flashed across the doctor's face.
Upon hearing this news, Mu Liuyun finally felt relieved.
He let out a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxing as he watched several nurses push a mobile hospital bed out of the operating room.
Lying on the hospital bed, Chu Yaqin's once beautiful face was now as pale as paper, devoid of any color. Yet, even so, she remained breathtakingly beautiful.
She was covered with a blue sheet, and even though she was breathing very lightly, the sheet rose and fell with considerable force. Only because of the anesthesia, her beautiful eyes remained closed.
Judging from her calm expression, she has indeed passed the critical period and is unlikely to face any major problems for the time being.
Next, the doctor said to him with a serious expression, "The patient is currently quite weak and needs to rest for a while. During this time, it would be best if her boyfriend stayed with her at all times, as this would help with her recovery."
Upon hearing this, Mu Liuyun nodded without hesitation and replied, "Okay, thank you, doctor!"
It must be said that this doctor is indeed a doctor; he was able to determine Mu Liuyun's gender with just a glance.
At this moment, Mu Liuyun did not seem to want to refute or explain being called "boyfriend".
Because just a short time ago, when Chu Yaqin rushed forward without hesitation and used her own body to shield her from that fatal blow, he had already acknowledged their relationship.
Mu Liuyun sat solemnly by the hospital bed, her gaze fixed on Chu Yaqin lying on the bed.
He followed the doctor's orders meticulously, never daring to slack off, and stayed by Chu Yaqin's bedside without leaving her side. Every short while, he would gently pick up a damp towel that had been prepared beforehand and carefully wipe away the fine beads of sweat that kept seeping from Chu Yaqin's forehead.
Just then, a soft sound of footsteps approached from afar, sounding particularly clear in the quiet ward.
Immediately afterwards, the door was gently pushed open, and Shen Lanxin and Mu Xiaoxi walked in carrying lunch boxes.
"Brother, we brought the food!"
Mu Xiaoxi walked quickly to the bedside, placed the lunchbox in her hand on the bedside table, and then turned to look at Mu Liuyun and said.
Upon learning of Chu Yaqin's accident, Shen Lanxin and Mu Xiaoxi rushed to the hospital immediately. Sister Wang also came to help take care of her, but seeing that there were too many people and she would only be a burden, she went back first.
Hearing her younger sister's voice, Mu Liuyun raised her head slightly, forcing a smile: "Xiaoxi, thank you."
However, his brief words revealed an undeniable weariness.
From the moment he left home in the early morning until now, he has hardly had a moment's rest throughout the entire day.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoxi looked worried: "Brother, why don't you go and rest for a while? Sister Shen and I will watch over this humble one... and Sister Chu."
Mu Liuyun gently shook his head, his eyes revealing deep worry and concern. Chu Yaqin was injured because of him, and at this moment, all he wanted was to stay by her side.
He sat silently by the hospital bed, holding Chu Yaqin's slightly pale hand tightly, as if this could convey strength and warmth to her, and at the same time calm his heart a little.
He sincerely hoped that the first person Chu Yaqin would see when she opened her eyes would be him. In that way, perhaps the pain and fear Chu Yaqin was enduring could be slightly alleviated.
However, Mu Liuyun did not become distraught and lose her appetite when she saw her beloved injured, unlike the male and female protagonists in those TV dramas.
He still enjoyed the food that Mu Xiaoxi and Shen Lanxin brought.
Originally, Wang Jie's parents wanted to visit Chu Yaqin after hearing the news of her injury, but Wang Jie persuaded them against it. After all, Chu Yaqin's physical condition was still quite weak and she needed to rest quietly.
So everyone agreed that they would visit Chu Yaqin again after she had recovered a bit.
"Crunch, crunch."
What was that sound?
The sound of teeth grinding, coming from somewhere, made Mu Liuyun look around.
"Didn't you hear anything? Brother, I'm going out to buy some water."
As she spoke, Mu Xiaoxi walked out of the ward while grinding her teeth. Shen Lanxin glanced at Mu Liuyun and followed her out.
As soon as she stepped outside, Mu Xiaoxi slammed her hand hard on the chair, causing it to bounce.
"That despicable woman!"
Shen Lanxin, who was standing to the side, did not speak, but her serious expression conveyed a similar thought to Mu Xiaoxi.
The two were originally very worried about Mu Liuyun and felt somewhat guilty for letting their guard down regarding her safety.
But there was nothing that could be done about it. Lin Yaodong had already run away, so who would have thought that Zhang Ruyu would suddenly appear?
So when they heard that Chu Yaqin was injured, the two of them thought that they should give her another day.
However, after hearing how Chu Yaqin was injured, their views completely changed.
"If she can stand in front of her brother, then she can easily kick Zhang Ruyu aside!"
"After all, Xiaoyun was able to seduce Zhang Ruyu."
Seeing her brother's deeply affectionate expression, Mu Xiaoxi couldn't help but grind her teeth.
But now that Chu Yaqin is willing to fight to the death, they can't expose her.
After all, if anyone sets this precedent, any attempts they make to play tricks will be exposed by others at any time.
At that point, it won't be competition between them, but war.
