Chapter 114 We, Impossible
When Jiang Cha heard the noise, he rushed to the study door and knocked on it hard.
"Uncle Huo, please open the door and let me in."
After a while, Huo Tingkun opened the door of the study. Before he could even see Jiang Cha's face clearly, Jiang Cha rushed in like a firecracker.
She bent down and hugged Huo Jingchuan's head, with her waist tightly held by Huo Jingchuan.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, Huo Jingchuan, I'm here!"
She stroked the back of Huo Jingchuan's head as if she was smoothing the fur of a puppy.
Huo Jingchuan buried his face in her abdomen, and he could smell the scent of Jiang Cha with every breath.
His arms kept tightening and his rapid breathing gradually slowed down.
When Ye Surong came in, she saw that the documents on the desk were scattered all over the floor, and the chair next to Huo Jingchuan had been knocked over.
Following Ye Surong's gaze, she could see the bulging blue veins on Huo Jingchuan's forehead and beads of sweat the size of beans constantly oozing out.
He closed his eyes and breathed heavily. His arms were placed on Jiang Cha's waist, tightly locked, leaving no gap at all.
"you……"
Ye Surong was about to step forward when Huo Tingkun pulled her back.
He led the person out of the study and left the space to Jiang Cha.
"What happened to Jingchuan?"
Huo Tingkun looked unhappy.
"Have you ever heard of post-traumatic stress syndrome?"
Ye Surong was startled, "You mean Jingchuan..."
"You accompany me to Chief Ji's home. His grandson is a psychologist at the Military General Hospital. He has experience in this area."
Huo Tingkun had experienced this before.
In the past, fighting was too hard.
They don't have advanced weapons, but they have a strong will and an unyielding spirit.
Huo Tingkun had fought the most brutal battle. A whole company of his people went to the battlefield, but only three people came back.
For a long time, he couldn't stand the sight of red, the smell of blood, and even vomited after eating meat.
After recovering from his injuries, he received psychological counseling for a year before gradually getting better.
Ye Surong could no longer hold back her tears, and she grabbed Huo Tingkun's hand.
"Come on, I'll go with you."
As soon as they went out, they met Huo Jingye who was about to return.
Huo Tingkun held him back.
"Take Xiaocao and play outside for a while. Don't come into the house for now."
"No, why?"
Ye Surong's eyes were filled with tears, and Huo Jingye suddenly became anxious.
"What happened? Tell me, I'm not a child anymore."
Huo Tingkun looked at the child in front of him, who had grown taller than him since some unknown time, and patted his shoulder with satisfaction.
"Then you, come with us."
Huo Jingye said a few words to Wu Xiaocao, asking her not to run around and wait for him to come back in the yard. Then he followed Huo Tingkun and Ye Surong to Chief Ji's house.
Jiang Cha felt the arm around her waist gradually loosen its grip.
In fact, she had no idea how long she had maintained this posture.
Her waist was sore and painful, but she endured it and continued to soothe Huo Jingchuan with gentle words.
"Huo Jingchuan, we're home now. Our families are all here. Try to relax a little, okay?"
In fact, since Huo Jingchuan woke up in the hospital, he has been trying very hard to act normal.
Jiang Cha noticed something was wrong with him when he was boiling some medicine.
The public kitchen was just outside the ward where they stayed, but every time they went there, they had to go around through the side door of the hospital lobby.
The time for boiling ginger tea is fixed.
But one time, when she was making medicine for Huo Jingchuan, something unexpected happened.
The old man who was delivering firewood fell down halfway because the road was slippery due to the snow.
He wasn't hurt at all from the fall, but by the time he recovered, got up from the ground, bundled up the scattered firewood, and carried it to the hospital, he was already almost half an hour later than usual.
The firewood in the hospital is used up quickly, so we have to use the public kitchen to make ginger tea, and we have to buy firewood ourselves.
It took her half an hour to start making a fire and boiling the medicine, so she finished boiling the medicine much later than usual.
What she didn't expect was that as soon as she walked into the ward, she saw Huo Jingchuan with a gloomy face yelling at her.
"Where have you been? Why are you back so late? Do you know how I feel every time I wait for you to come back?"
"I... the firewood delivery person was late today, so..."
"Then why didn't you come and tell me? Do you know how worried I was when you didn't come back?"
He was worried that something had happened to her.
Was he bumped into by someone, or was he burned while boiling medicine?
He even wondered if she regretted coming here to find him. She was forced to take care of a disabled person like him every day, which was so hard. Would she just abandon him and leave?
He couldn't help but think of all sorts of possibilities, and he began to feel anxious.
That was the first time Jiang Cha clearly felt that Huo Jingchuan was in a bad mood.
Later, she tried it twice more.
Jiang Cha just realized that every time she did something, Huo Jingchuan would time it.
Once the time limit passed and she didn't come back, Huo Jingchuan would become visibly anxious.
His condition would only improve when she was around.
Jiang Cha knew that Ji Zhixu was an expert in this area of treatment.
That's why she was in a hurry to bring Huo Jingchuan back with her.
She was worried that the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for Huo Jingchuan's mental health.
"Huo Jingchuan, I haven't given you the New Year's gift I prepared for you yet, have I?"
"You know, I also prepared a gift for you last year, but you were not at home, so the gift is still at the bottom of the box in my room."
"Are you surprised?"
Huo Jingchuan completely let go of his hand.
Jiang Cha then endured the pain in her body, squatted in front of him, and looked up at him.
"I'll take you to see the gift I prepared for you, okay?"
In Huo Jingchuan's pocket, there was a red envelope prepared for him by Ye Surong.
He looked guilty.
"I just strangled you and it hurt, didn't I? Next time, if I start to act weird again, you stay away from me. Do you hear me?"
"My legs are on my body. I have to listen to your instructions about where to stand and where to walk. Aren't you being too overbearing?"
Jiang Cha stood up, walked around behind him, and pushed him into her room.
Her room now has two desks and two wardrobes.
One is hers and the other is Wu Xiaocao's.
Jiang Cha opened his cabinet and took out a gift box.
"Open it first and see if you like it. This was your New Year's gift last year."
The box was a little big and looked a bit awkward when placed on Huo Jingchuan's knees.
Huo Jingchuan opened the box and found a gray cashmere scarf lying quietly inside.
"This is a return gift for the scarf you gave me."
Jiang Cha pulled up the sleeve of her right hand, and a pink scarf suddenly appeared on her fair wrist.
"Is it good-looking?"
Huo Jingchuan's eyes lit up, and Jiang Cha caught it accurately.
"nice."
He hadn't known before that Jiang Cha had been wearing the silk scarf he gave her.
Huo Jingchuan's eyes felt a little sore.
It seemed like the feelings he had given were finally reciprocated, but it happened to be when he was at his most embarrassed.
Huo Jingchuan didn't dare to give Jiang Cha any reply.
He wrapped the gray cashmere scarf around his neck and looked at Jiang Cha expectantly.
"Is it good-looking?"
Jiang Cha nodded repeatedly, "It looks so good!"
She tidied up the edges for Huo Jingchuan and asked, "What about me? Have you prepared a New Year's gift for me?"
Huo Jingchuan's throat rolled.
"Sorry, no!"
"It's a lie."
Jiang Cha exposed Huo Jingchuan's lie without thinking.
"I packed all the luggage when you came back. I saw it all, and you still deny it?"
The strings in Huo Jingchuan's head began to tighten again.
"Cha Cha, have you forgotten everything I said to you before?"
"What did you say?" Jiang Cha asked back, "Are you saying that you like my words?"
"Yes, I don't like you anymore, so do whatever you want to do, and be with whoever you want to like. I won't wait for an answer, and you don't need to have any psychological burden on me anymore."
"These past few days, you've not only had to take care of my body, but also my emotions. It's really too hard for you. I will pay you back what I owe you!"
"Huo Jingchuan."
Jiang Cha was so angry for the first time. "I went to the north to find you. Why didn't you say something like this when I saw you for the first time?"
"Why didn't you say something like this when you woke up in the hospital?"
"Why didn't you say something like this when you were hugging me just now?"
"Now that you've cheated me out of the gift, you're trying to draw a line between us. Why should you be my boss? Why should you have the final say on what I want to do, what I want to say, and who I want to be with?"
As Jiang Cha spoke, tears fell from her eyes.
"Who do you think you are? You can take back the words you say, and the feelings you give can also be taken back. What does it mean to you whether I like you or not? What do I mean to you?"
Jiang Cha didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help it.
She had suppressed her emotions for too long, and had already built a solid and towering wall around them.
But Huo Jingchuan's few casual words were enough to make her lose all her resolve.
"Just because you say you don't like me, why should I like someone else? What do you think of my feelings?"
Huo Jingchuan scratched his palm until it bled, and he gritted his teeth, not daring to look at Jiang Cha again.
His crippled legs crushed his will.
He is a useless person now, but Jiang Cha is different.
She was admitted to the best medical university in Beijing and has a bright future.
Why did he confine such a brilliant woman to a cripple like himself?
This is unfair to her.
Huo Jingchuan took off the scarf from his neck and threw it into the gift box on the ground.
"Jiang Cha, you're right, it's impossible for us!"
