Chapter 43
Depressed, suffocating, and silent all around.
Without time and consciousness, Jiang Xu was trapped in a small dark place, unable to make any sound or move.
In a trance, the darkness that enveloped her was torn open, and light came in. She walked in that direction...
When I opened my eyes, all I saw was a dim white, as if I had walked into another predicament.
But the dull pain in my back didn't seem like an illusion, unlike the nothingness I felt before.
The memories before closing her eyes calmly flooded into her mind. Jiang Xu closed her eyes and opened them again, but the scene in front of her remained unchanged. She wanted to raise her hand but found something pressing on it. She tilted her head slightly, her sight flickered for a moment, and then fixed on the man whose head was resting on her hand.
Jiang Xu gently moved her held fingers, but there was no response. Was she asleep?
Jiang Xu's thoughts were a little slow. She wanted to pull her hand away, but she vaguely felt the man's hand exerting a little more force to stop her movement.
These two touches felt a bit difficult, and didn't even feel like real touches. Jiang Xu stopped moving and stared at the ceiling for a while.
It shouldn't be an illusion.
The ventilator on his face had long been removed, but it was still difficult for him to speak: "He Jin."
The sound was very soft, so soft that it was almost covered by the sound of the instrument, but it seemed to be infinitely amplified, echoing in the intensive care unit over and over again.
He Jin had been resting with his eyes closed, and thought that the movement of his finger just now was just a reflex. When he heard the light sound, his mind went blank for a moment. He subconsciously looked up and saw the girl looking at him with her head tilted. Her expression was very serious, a little confused, but also seemed eager to prove something.
Just one glance is worth a thousand words.
He Jin always understood all her emotions.
"It's not an illusion. You just thought I was dreaming." He Jin answered the doubt in her eyes and put her hand on his face.
Hot, real, it was the temperature she was familiar with.
Jiang Xu's hand was held and pressed against He Jin's cheek. She moved her joints slightly, and her thumb became wet. She was stunned, her mind worked much faster, and her face was full of disbelief.
!!
Before she could react, the door was pushed open.
He Jin looked calm just now, but in fact one of his hands was about to break the summoning bell.
The three attending doctors who were on call at any time were called by the urgent alarm bell. Standing at the door, they were thinking about what to say this time. When they looked up, they saw the person sitting back on the bed, and their feet stopped immediately.
The face that was originally static came to life, and its beauty could not be concealed by its pale complexion. Instead, it added a touch of tranquility to its flamboyance, so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off it.
Putting that aside, it seems like those words they said yesterday have come true today! How could they be so effective?!
Fortunately, they were very professional and only froze for a moment before starting to give Jiang Xu a full body check-up.
After checking all the physical indicators, they were surprised and happy, and were so excited that they were almost speechless. For such a serious gunshot wound, the success rate of surgery was only 30%, but there was no sequelae at all. The best medicine was used, and the wound recovered very well.
Several people gathered around the bed, holding various good indicator data in their hands, smiling brightly.
They were simply overjoyed and celebrating together, no longer having to worry every day!
"Mr. He, Miss Jiang is recovering well and can be transferred to a private room. We will arrange a full-body checkup every five days. Just make sure to rest and avoid touching the wound."
The backrest of the bed was adjusted to a comfortable angle. Because of the injury on her back, the pillow was hollow in the middle. Jiang Xu obediently let He Jin hold her hand and listened carefully to what the doctor said, not missing a word, her eyes shining brightly.
She is fine, she has no sequelae!
"Mr. He, you and Miss Jiang should have a good rest first. We will go prepare the ward for you and call you later."
It can be considered a reunion after a short separation. They are young people, so we should give them some private space. They understand.
As soon as the words fell, several people turned around in unison as if they had rehearsed it in advance, left in an orderly manner, and closed the door.
Talk less and do more, you will never go wrong!
They are still waiting for promotion and salary increase.
There were only two of them left in the room, and the restless atmosphere quieted down. He Jin sat on the edge of the bed. After they left, he hunched over, his head resting lightly on the girl's shoulder, his expression invisible.
Jiang Xu felt the slightly tense body of the person in front of him. She wanted to raise her hands to hug him, but it would hurt her wounds, so she had to give up. Instead, she hooked her fingers with his, trying to find something to say to break the heavy atmosphere. Her voice was still a little hoarse: "Brother Jin, how long have I been lying here?"
"It will be fifteen days, fourteen hours and thirty-seven minutes until you wake up." He Jin answered very quickly, almost failing to get the answer to the second.
Jiang Xu was stunned for a moment. It had been so long, no wonder she could hardly speak anymore.
"Not bad." He Jin raised his head and sighed softly, interrupting the girl's thoughts. He relaxed and held her hand. With his other hand, he touched her face and said, "Ah Xu, I'm sorry."
It was me who put you in danger again, and I couldn't imagine a scenario where you couldn't wake up.
How could Jiang Xu blame him? Everything was her own choice, but she didn't know how to comfort him, so she tried her best to hold back those warm hands.
He Jin naturally knew what Jiang Xu meant, and when he said this to her, it was more like he was saying to himself: "It's okay, nothing will happen in the future."
Jiang Xu blinked and met his gaze, waiting for the next words. But then she saw the face she had sketched countless times magnified in front of her, and the voice was even lower and hoarse than hers: "Ah Xu, I want to kiss you."
The moment before their lips touched, Jiang Xu suddenly opened his eyes wide, thinking of something huge. He quickly turned his head and his warm lips touched her cheek.
Noticing the girl's movements, He Jin stepped back slightly, opened his eyes, and his eyelashes trembled slightly. Because he was moved, his voice was low and pleasant, and he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Dirty." Jiang Xu frowned, his eyes pitiful, full of undisguised disgust for himself.
She has been lying like this for fifteen days, which means she hasn't brushed her teeth for fifteen days.
Hearing this, He Jin chuckled, knowing what she was thinking. The corners of his eyes curved, looking very seductive, and he replied, "It's not dirty."
How can it be dirty?
"No." After saying that, Jiang Xu pursed his lips tightly, wrinkled his eyebrows and nose, puffed out his cheeks, and looked like he was determined to refuse to obey.
Even though she was injured, she still had to save face! How could she be so intimate?
"Okay." He Jin responded, unconsciously drawing out the last part of his voice. He supported his hands on her sides, leaned over and kissed the girl's chin, then stood up and went to find the doctor to change the ward so that he could serve tea and water more conveniently.
After transferring to the ward, He Jin brushed Jiang Xu's teeth according to her wishes. He held the toothbrush in one hand and the water cup in the other, and watched the girl come over and brush her teeth while shaking her head, with a smile on his lips.
I brushed my teeth three times without any impatience. He even brushed the last two times by himself, making sure every tooth was taken care of.
Jiang Xu breathed hard several times, then grinned at the mirror, looking from left to right several times, making sure every tooth was flawless and white before she smiled with satisfaction. When she saw He Jin coming out after pouring the water, her eyes were bright. Unable to reach out for a hug, she pouted and said, "Brother Jin, come here quickly, let me give you a kiss."
She is even better at acting like a spoiled child.
Of course, He Jin would obey in this kind of thing. He sat down on the edge of the bed, held the girl's face in his hands as she leaned forward, and gently sucked her lips, making a slight sound.
It must have been too long since she had experienced this feeling. With just this one action, Jiang Xu felt a tingling sensation starting from her scalp and spreading throughout her body. She almost fell down and subconsciously held her breath.
Just as he was about to go deeper, the door opened and a deep, rich middle-aged male voice came from the doorway: "A Xu."
After all the projects were checked, He Jin notified Yu Jin. Yu Jin should have been preparing to come over at that time, but after this phone call, they came over faster than He Jin expected.
Jiang Xu turned around when he heard the voice, forgetting that he was already an adult. There was a little awkwardness in his eyes. When he saw the three people walking in, his movements froze and he sat on the bed in a daze.
"Baby." Yu Jin shouted, pushing Jiang Yuanshan in the wheelchair towards the bed, with a smile on her face, a gentleness and quiet joy that had not been seen in a long time.
"Sister~" Little Jiang You, who was following behind Yu Jin, ran over happily with his short legs, stretching out his hands for a hug from a distance.
However, before he touched the bed, a finger pressed against his forehead. The force was not strong, but it stopped him abruptly and he had to stay where he was.
Little Jiang You was unhappy. He immediately frowned, stared upward with his eyes, puffed up his cheeks, and shook his head to break free from the force of the finger on his forehead. He frowned and looked up at him with a condescending look, feeling very angry.
Humph, what’s so great about being tall? My sister said he will be this tall in the future.
"Her injuries haven't healed yet, so she can't hug you. If you want to hug someone, let me do it." He Jin withdrew his hand, casually put it in his pocket, and said lightly.
"I don't want to!" The little guy didn't want to, but he couldn't beat the man in front of him.
The two were still confronting each other silently when suddenly a cry was heard from behind them, which stunned the four people present.
"Dad, Mom..." The words could be faintly heard among the intermittent crying.
Little Jiang You didn't understand what was going on, but he still followed the team immediately. When he saw his sister crying, he started crying too. However, Ba Jiang Yuanshan and Yu Jin were a little confused.
This little girl loves to cry, because Jiang Xu treats her like a little princess. But Jiang Xu has cried so many times since she could talk that she can only count on one hand. She has never cried so loudly like this before.
Yu Jin pushed Jiang Yuanshan to the bedside. They both felt very distressed, and Yu Jin's eyes instantly turned red.
Little Jiang You cried loudly and was pushed aside. He didn't need anyone to care about him. He would run around He Jin to the other side of the bed and reach his sister's hand while crying.
He Jin reached out to wipe away the tears from the girl's face, but when he saw the tissue in Yu Jin's hand, he withdrew his hand, nodded slightly at them, and walked out.
