Gu Shaoxuan stayed by Xia Enruo's side all night and finally fell asleep by her bedside in the early hours of the morning.
The first rays of sunlight streamed in at dawn, making the frost on the window sparkle.
When Xia Enruo opened her eyes, all she could see was white, making it impossible for her to remember what had happened after she fainted yesterday.
All she remembered was Gu Shaoxuan's blood-soaked hands blocking her way, his face contorted with rage and filled with hatred, his red headscarf emblazoned with fury.
She turned her head and saw Old Gu lying face down in front of her, still sleeping soundly, with his handsome face, long, dark eyelashes, and high nose.
He was still so handsome under the sun.
He placed one of his hands, which was wrapped in white gauze, in front of him, while holding his own hand with the other.
Xia Enruo didn't know how long she had slept. She pulled her hand away from his and gently stroked Gu Shaoxuan's head.
Thinking back to that moment yesterday, I was truly terrified, right after I called out Gu Shaoxuan's name.
He burst through the door, just like a superhero from a movie in his past life.
She knew she was saved.
Xia Enruo got up and rubbed her eyes. She felt sore all over, probably from the bumps and bruises she had sustained while struggling yesterday.
"Wife, you're awake."
Gu Shaoxuan was awakened by Xia Enruo's movements.
"Hmm, how long did I sleep?"
"You slept for about 17 hours. I was really scared yesterday. I'm so glad you're okay."
Gu Shaoxuan sat on the hospital bed, putting his arm around Xia Enruo and letting her lean on his shoulder.
"How did you find me yesterday? I thought I'd never see you again."
Xia Enruo nestled in his arms, the scent of his masculine hormones was truly comforting.
"Thanks to Mao Xiangling. Yesterday, when she found out you were in trouble, she hurriedly called Yuan Qiang. Yuan Qiang and I rushed back from the regimental headquarters and asked around the neighborhood for a long time."
No one knew where you were. In the end, having no other choice, they simply called the police, and the police mobilized a large number of people to search for you.
Finally, Wu Meixia borrowed all the police dogs from the station and used them to search by scent, finally finding you deep in the woods east of the lake.
Mao Xiangling and Wu Meixia really put in a lot of effort in yesterday's rescue.
First, Mao Xiangling tipped them off, which bought them some time.
Next, Wu Meixia mobilized the Yongning Public Security Bureau. When the search yielded no results, Wu Meixia became extremely anxious.
They simply called the bureau chief and borrowed a police dog; otherwise, the dog would have led the way by the scent of the clothes on the cart.
Xia Enruo is likely in grave danger.
"Thank you so much to them, and thank you even more. Your hand?"
Xia Enruo pressed her face against Gu Shaoxuan's and said with concern.
"What do I have to thank you for? You are my wife, and protecting you is my mission."
My hand is fine. The doctor said to change the dressing on time, and the stitches will be removed soon.
Xia Enruo held Gu Shaoxuan's injured hand, tears welling up in her eyes.
She buried her head deep in his chest; the moment she bled yesterday was still vivid in her mind.
Yuan Qiang brought Mao Xiangling to the hospital early in the morning. The two had made an appointment yesterday to visit Xia Enruo this morning.
Mao Xiangling pushed open the door and saw that Xia Enruo had already woken up. She happily walked to the bedside.
"Sis, you're awake! We were so worried about you yesterday!"
"That's right, Old Gu was almost going crazy, but thankfully he's alright."
Yuan Qiang added.
"Thank you all. Gu Shaoxuan told me that without you, I probably would never have seen the sun again today."
"Pah! Pah! Pah! Don't say such unlucky things. We're all fine now, aren't we?"
As the saying goes, "Those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune." The setback Sister Enruo encountered yesterday will be repaid with blessings in the future.
"Xiangling is indeed a college student; the way she speaks clearly shows she's a cultured person."
Xia Enru praised Mao Xiangling, saying that her words were truly comforting.
"Sister-in-law, you're only praising her, why don't you praise me too? I also put in a lot of effort yesterday."
Yuan Qiang also tried to say nice things.
"Sister Enruo, Yuan Qiang really put in a lot of effort yesterday. If he hadn't left me his phone number, I really wouldn't have been able to contact him."
Yesterday they broke into the cabin, and their skills were absolutely amazing; they beat those thugs to a pulp in no time.
Mao Xiangling praised Yuan Qiang, saying that he was really handsome yesterday, absolutely cool.
“Yuan Qiang, look, I don’t need to praise you, beautiful women will praise you anyway.”
Seeing how much Mao Xiangling admires him, Xia Enruo is sure they'll get together.
When Yuan Qiang heard how well Mao Xiangling regarded him, especially after the rainbow candy treat, he felt a surge of excitement.
He blushed, scratched his head, and muttered something.
Am I really that good?
"Of course! You looked really cool yesterday."
Mao Xiangling didn't think too much about it; she just thought Yuan Qiang was really brave and a real man.
Seeing his brother become embarrassed after being praised by the person he liked, Gu Shaoxuan secretly felt happy.
"This kid never blushed or got shy in the army, but now he's actually swayed by a beautiful woman."
The three chatted in the ward for a while, and then Gu Shaoxuan called the doctor.
After conducting some physical examinations and consultations on Xia Enruo, no abnormalities were found.
The three of them accompanied Xia Enruo out of the hospital.
Xia Enruo felt reborn when she heard birds chirping by the roadside in the morning.
Yesterday's terrifying experience made her feel like she had encountered the end of the world.
The four of them went to a restaurant for breakfast, and Yuan Qiang took Gu Shaoxuan and Xia Enruo home. He then took Mao Xiangling back to school.
Upon entering the courtyard, one finds that all the clothes have been washed clean and are neatly hung on the clothesline.
