In the quiet of the hospital room late at night, Lu Wuqi slowly opened his eyes. His vision gradually cleared from a blur. The effects of the anesthetic wore off, and a dull ache came from his wound.
The light from the corridor streamed through the glass doors and windows, casting a soft glow that enveloped Song Yunxi. Yes, she was sleeping on the edge of the bed, one hand still tightly gripping Lu Wuqi's, as if afraid that if she let go, he would slip away.
As he was being wheeled into the operating room, Song Yunxi stood outside the operating room door, silently praying to all the gods in his heart. Fortunately, the bullet only hit his abdomen and did not damage any vital organs, allowing him to escape the clutches of death.
Lu Wuqi gently raised his other hand and caressed her eyebrows and eyes. His eyes were full of tenderness, like the warmest sunshine in spring. This was the person he had missed for so many days and nights, someone he wanted to see but dared not.
Perhaps his fingertips were too rough; the moment his fingertips touched the tip of her nose, she opened her eyes abruptly like a startled fawn.
Seeing Lu Wuqi staring straight at her, she smiled sweetly, "You're awake. Is anything bothering you?"
Lu Wuqi shook his head slightly, "It's fine now, you can go home now."
"I'm not going back. I have to stay with you." Song Yunxi refused without hesitation.
Then, as if no one else was around, she threw off the covers and lay down next to Lu Wuqi, blinking her big, watery eyes and smiling at him.
"I'm not going anywhere tonight, I'll just sleep next to you. Don't worry, this hospital bed is very spacious, and I'm slim, so I won't crowd you."
The moment she lay down in bed, a faint fragrance wafted into Lu Wuqi's nostrils, and her soft, boneless little hands tightly clung to his arm.
Song Yunxi's series of actions were like a spring breeze, causing Lu Wuqi's breathing to become disordered, his wheat-colored cheeks to gradually heat up, and his heart to be so excited that it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.
"Xu Muyao, your heart is beating too fast. Can you calm it down a bit, or you'll have trouble sleeping."
Lu Wuqi's eye twitched, but a faint smile appeared on his lips as he slowly said, "I'm a patient. Don't you think it's inappropriate for you to be sleeping with a patient like this, taking up half of his bed?"
"No, don't worry. Your wound is on your side, so it won't get hurt. Most importantly, the heating in the ward doesn't seem to be very strong. You can't move while lying here, so you'll easily catch a cold. I'll warm up the blankets for you so you can sleep more comfortably."
Listen to her, she's still the same as before. You put forward a point of view, and she can come up with countless reasons to refute it.
Thinking of this, Lu Wuqi felt a headache coming on and was utterly helpless. He couldn't argue with her, so he could only let her do as she pleased.
"Alright, go to sleep now." Lu Wuqi reached out and tucked the blanket around her.
The depth and tranquility of the night intertwined, as calm as a lake, without a ripple, with only the whisper of hot breaths in one's ear.
——
In a dilapidated villa in the suburbs, seemingly forgotten by time, Song Yunzheng sat upright in his boss's chair like a statue, with a woman kneeling at his feet—Meng Wanning.
"Do you know why I bailed you out?" His thin lips parted slightly, and every word he uttered was like a cold, sharp blade, carrying a chilling aura.
Meng Wanning shook her head blankly, like a puppet that had lost its soul, her eyes filled with undisguised panic.
If she were facing a Song Yunzheng who had lost his mind, she might have been able to deal with him for a while, but the Song Yunzheng in front of her, who was so calm that there wasn't a ripple in his eyes, made her fall into an abyss.
She didn't know where his bottom line was, and she seriously underestimated Lin Yue's position in his heart. That's why she was so bewitched that she cooperated with Chen Kun to do such an absurd thing. Now, it's too late to regret it.
"What do you want from bringing me here?"
"What for? Good question."
Song Yunzheng suddenly stood up and walked slowly to Meng Wanning like a ghost. He looked down at the person kneeling on the ground with eyes that seemed to want to devour her alive.
"Meng Wanning, it's time to settle accounts for everything you've done."
Meng Wanning was so frightened by his cold tone that she didn't dare to breathe, her whole body tense like a string about to snap. "What accounts? I... what did I do?"
"I didn't ask you for an explanation for what happened before, but instead of keeping a low profile, you went even further to hurt Lin Yue, ignoring my warnings. Do you really think I'm still the same Song Yunzheng who was blinded by greed eight years ago?"
He slowly squatted down, and with a "smack," Meng Wanning instantly collapsed to the ground, her left cheek quickly swelling up, and blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
"This slap is for Song Yunzheng's foolishness eight years ago. For your own selfish desires, you were so audacious as to secretly give him drugs!"
Meng Wanning covered her face, and before she could sit up straight, "slap..." a second slap landed hard.
Meng Wanning collapsed to the ground again, her tongue trembling, and more and more blood flowing from her mouth.
"The second slap was for Lin Yue. You repeatedly provoked her, made her unhappy, and in the end, you even tried to kill her!"
Song Yunzheng angrily grabbed the person on the ground and slapped her hard across the face again. This slap was delivered with all his might, making Meng Wan Ning see stars. She didn't dare to say a word, but tears streamed down her face like a spring.
"The third slap was for my unborn child. You owe the Song family a life!"
Meng Wanning froze... The child? Lin Yue was pregnant? And lost it again? Five seconds later, she suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, tears mixed with blood, flowing all over the ground.
