After that thrilling moment of life and death, the whole world seemed to have undergone subtle changes. Shen Qingchen's heroic act of sacrificing himself to block the knife was like a soul-shaking storm, washing away the feelings between Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen.
The smell of hospital disinfectant filled the air. White walls and cold medical equipment surrounded the bed where Shen Qingchen lay. Jiang Zhi sat beside the bed, her eyes never leaving Shen Qingchen's face. His face was slightly pale, and even in his sleep, his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was still enduring the pain of his wound. Jiang Zhi's heart was filled with guilt and pity. She gently held Shen Qingchen's hand. That hand had always been full of strength to protect her, but now it lay weak in her palm.
She recalled the scene at that moment. At that moment, Jiang Yao seemed to be possessed by a demon, her eyes filled with madness and hatred, and the knife in her hand flashed with a cold light in the sunlight. At that critical moment, Shen Qingchen did not hesitate at all. His body was like a solid barrier, blocking her in front of her without hesitation. Jiang Zhi clearly heard the sound of the knife piercing her body. The sound seemed to pierce directly into her heart, making her soul tremble. Her world seemed to stop turning at that moment. All sounds disappeared, leaving only the figure of Shen Qingchen falling, which kept replaying in front of her eyes.
From then on, Jiang Zhi stayed by Shen Qingchen's side. The few hours she spent waiting outside the operating room felt like a lifetime to her. Every minute was like a blunt knife slowly cutting through her heart, and she kept praying in her heart, praying that God would bless Shen Qingchen with safety. She had never felt fear as deeply as she did at that moment, the fear of losing Shen Qingchen, like a dark abyss that wanted to swallow her whole.
When Shen Qingchen finally escaped danger and regained consciousness, Jiang Zhi felt as if she had seen a ray of light from the endless darkness. She burst into tears of joy, tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes and sliding down her cheeks. She looked at Shen Qingchen's weak smile, her heart filled with emotion and joy. At that moment, she deeply realized that Shen Qingchen was no longer just a lover to her, but an indispensable part of her life, the support of her soul.
During Shen Qingchen's hospitalization, Jiang Zhi took care of him meticulously. She would come to the hospital early every day and bring him a nutritious breakfast that she made herself. Although the breakfast was simple, every dish was full of her love and care. She would feed Shen Qingchen carefully and watch him chew slowly, just like taking care of a child. She would also push Shen Qingchen for a walk in the hospital garden when the sun was shining in the afternoon. The flowers in the garden were in full bloom, and the colorful flowers swayed gently in the breeze, as if cheering for Shen Qingchen's recovery. Jiang Zhi would point to the flowers and softly tell Shen Qingchen stories about flowers when she was a child, and Shen Qingchen listened quietly with a gentle smile on her face.
During this process, Shen Qingchen also felt Jiang Zhi's love for him more deeply. He looked at Jiang Zhi busying herself for him, and his heart was filled with warmth. He knew that after going through so much, Jiang Zhi had completely opened her heart to him, and her love was no longer reserved. Every caring look, every gentle touch, made him feel that he was the happiest person in the world. He recalled her indifference and rejection when he first pursued Jiang Zhi, and compared it with the undisguised affection in her eyes now, and his heart was filled with emotion. He knew that the relationship between them had gone through many tests to become so indestructible.
During this time, they also began to communicate more deeply with each other's inner world. In the past, although they loved each other, Jiang Zhi's obsession with revenge and Shen Qingchen's busy career sometimes prevented them from fully understanding each other. But now, in this quiet hospital room, they had enough time to listen to each other's heart.
Jiang Zhi confided to Shen Qingchen the loneliness and confusion she felt on the road to revenge. She told him how, while searching for clues to Tang Junxi's murder, she had felt countless times of despair, convinced she might never find the truth. She had also feared her vengeance would lead her to lose even more, including Shen Qingchen. However, after this incident, she understood that Shen Qingchen was willing to face all difficulties with her, whether it was the hardships of revenge or the ups and downs of life. She was no longer fighting alone; she had Shen Qingchen's strong support.
Shen Qingchen also shared with Jiang Zhi the pressure and confusion he faced in the family business. He told her that competition in the business world was so fierce that every decision could mean the difference between life and death for the company. He had experienced times of exhaustion, but seeing Jiang Zhi gave him the motivation to keep going. He said that Jiang Zhi's strength and perseverance had always inspired him, allowing him to never back down in the face of difficulties. He also expressed his concerns about the future to Jiang Zhi, fearing that he would not be able to provide Jiang Zhi with a happy and stable home, and that his family would oppose their relationship due to conflicts of interest.
Jiang Zhi held Shen Qingchen's hand tightly, looked him in the eyes firmly and said, "No matter what the future holds, we will face it together. I don't care whether your family accepts me or not, I only care about you. As long as the two of us are together, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome." Shen Qingchen looked at Jiang Zhi's determined eyes and was deeply moved. He knew that the feelings between them had surpassed all worldly obstacles and they were the most steadfast support in each other's lives.
As Shen Qingchen's health gradually improved, their relationship continued to grow stronger. They began to cherish every moment they spent together, no longer wasting time on meaningless arguments or misunderstandings. They learned to treat each other with a more tolerant and understanding attitude.
