Not far away, Ji Shuyu and He Yanzhi were standing together.
Not sure if it was because they were too far away, or because his ears were ringing, but Gu Xiuyuan couldn't hear what they were saying. He only felt that He Yanzhi's eyes were extremely piercing...
He thought Xiaoyu was fine and would definitely wait by the bed for him to wake up.
So, when he opened his eyes and didn't see her, he was completely panicked.
Seeing that she was safe at this moment, he was happy!
However, he couldn't control the pain that felt like his heart was being torn apart.
Yesterday, she was clearly so anxious, and he could see that she was worried about him, just like him.
He thought...
Holding on to the door frame, he groaned muffledly, a wry smile on his lips.
He finally understood what it meant that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
"Hey, why are you out here without shoes?" the nurse scolded. "The doctor specifically told you to stay in bed and rest. You're not allowed to move around."
Hearing the nurse's voice, Ji Shuyu turned around and looked at Gu Xiuyuan at the door and ran over.
"You..." She had just opened her mouth when she was suddenly hugged into his arms.
He squeezed her tightly with his arms, as if he wanted to squeeze her into his body.
Ji Shuyu heard his muffled groan of pain, felt his body trembling with pain, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Ji Shuyu, you are a heartless woman!" He couldn't help but grit his teeth.
He was willing to sacrifice his life for her, but she was unwilling to even take a look at him, and was even talking and laughing with another man!
But what to do?
Even so, he was reluctant to let go...
Ji Shuyu was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe. She didn't dare to struggle for fear of hurting his wounds, "Gu..."
As he listened, his arms tightened again, dissatisfied with her calling him by his full name.
She clearly called He Yanzhi "Yanzhi", but she addressed him in such a strange way.
He Yanzhi came forward and asked, "I heard you were injured. Are you okay?"
Gu Xiuyuan looked at He Yanzhi coldly. Even though he was asking sincerely at this moment, he didn't want to answer.
Why is he always there?
The news is really well-informed!
"Thank you Mr. He for your concern. I'm fine." His face was pale and he put part of his body weight on Ji Shuyu's shoulder.
Because I was in so much pain that I had no strength left, and also because... I wanted to declare my ownership.
He had never thought of letting go, and after experiencing life and death again, he would never let go.
His meaning was very clear, but He Yanzhi didn't seem to take it seriously, and his eyes seemed to show that he disliked his childishness.
Gu Xiuyuan felt suffocated and couldn't help coughing twice.
Ji Shuyu barely held onto Gu Xiuyuan's strength, watching the sweat slide down his forehead. Her habitual movements were faster than her brain's reaction, so she raised her hand to wipe it away for him.
Then, the three of them froze...
He Yanzhi pursed her lips slightly, and Gu Xiuyuan lowered his eyes to look at her, a smile appearing on his pale face.
He said that they had been in love for more than ten years, so what could He Yanzhi use to compare with him!
"Xiaoyu, I'm a little tired."
He didn't go too far and call her "wife" in front of He Yanzhi, because there was no need to make such a childish provocation, and also because he was worried about making her unhappy.
"Then I'll help you go." Ji Shuyu said and looked at He Yanzhi.
"Go! Have a good rest." The smile on He Yanzhi's face was still gentle.
Before turning around, Gu Xiuyuan looked at He Yanzhi again, then hugged her shoulders tightly.
He Yanzhi didn't move until the two of them entered the ward, then he slowly turned around.
She hadn't let it go. He had always known it, but knowing it and seeing it with her own eyes were two different things...
…
Ji Shuyu helped Gu Xiuyuan to the ward, then put down his cell phone.
"I'm sorry, I answered your call without your permission." Ji Shuyu explained, "It's just that grandma kept calling, and I was afraid she would worry, so I answered it."
"What? Ah—"
Gu Xiuyuan turned around suddenly, and the excessive movement caused pain in his shoulder, and he almost passed out.
So, she just went out to answer the phone? Does that mean she has been here the whole time?
"What are you doing? Slow down!" Ji Shuyu frowned and scolded.
Gu Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this, then hugged her again, "I thought..."
I thought that even if I really died, I wouldn't be able to get her to show any mercy.
But when he knew she was always there, he began to feel aggrieved and tightened his arms.
"Why should I say sorry?" he laughed.
At this moment, his anxious heart seemed to be finally relieved, and he gently stroked the back of her head.
"I was so scared that no one would come to rescue us, and that I wouldn't have time to say anything I wanted to say."
"Xiaoyu, I..."
"Rest first!" Ji Shuyu interrupted hurriedly, "I'll call a doctor to check."
Even though the phone was right at her fingertips, she still chose to rush out on her own.
Gu Xiuyuan forced himself to sit down, and he knew...it wasn't that easy.
My heart is so up and down, it really hurts...
…
The doctor gave Gu Xiuyuan a comprehensive physical examination, and then he was sent to the ward, and Ji Shuyu was called to the office.
Seeing the doctor's frown, Ji Shuyu was sweating.
"Doctor?" She clutched her clothes tightly.
"The problem is quite serious." The doctor finally looked up. "It's not just the burns that are the problem. He also has a lung infection."
"Lung infection?! Cough..." Ji Shuyu was so excited that he choked a little.
"He had previously suffered broken ribs in a car accident and was rushed out of the hospital before fully recovering. He then smoked and drank alcohol, and this time he inhaled a large amount of smoke."
Car accident?
Broken ribs?!
Ahem…
Ji Shuyu was shocked and coughed even more violently.
"Don't get excited yet," the doctor reassured. "As long as you get proper treatment, there shouldn't be any major problems."
"But this time, we must make sure he cooperates with the doctor, otherwise there will be any sequelae, which will last a lifetime."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, doctor."
Ji Shuyu came out of the doctor's office with shaking hands.
When did he get so badly injured?
Why doesn't she know?!
Ji Shuyu was stunned for a moment, remembering the events of the past few days before the divorce, remembering the night he returned from his "business trip" and the blood stains on his clothes from the rain, remembering Zhou Rui saying he had a persistent fever...
Gu Xiuyuan couldn't wait for Ji Shuyu in the ward, and came out to look for her out of worry.
As soon as I went out, I saw her leaning against the door of the doctor's office with red eyes.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"
Ji Shuyu looked at him and tears suddenly fell.
"Xiaoyu?" He looked at her tears and suddenly panicked: "What happened?"
She turned her face away and wiped away her tears. She didn't want to be like this, but she couldn't control herself.
Seeing her like this, Gu Xiuyuan suddenly laughed: "It's not that I have some terminal illness...ah——"
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked on the calf by Xiaoxiao, and his voice changed due to the pain.
Seeing her frown, he smiled even more happily, then leaned over and hugged her.
"Okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said that." He apologized softly, "Don't worry, I just have a minor injury. I'll be fine after a few days in the hospital..."
He was only concerned with comforting the depressed little girl, when at this moment, a figure hurriedly flashed towards them...
