It has rained in Lingnan in the past few days.
The gruesome traces left by the war have been washed away, and the air is filled with the freshness of rain.
After the rain, the sky cleared, the clouds dispersed, and Xiao Wujie stood alone under the dripping eaves.
Her face was flawless, her skin was snow-white, her brows and eyes were slightly furrowed, and her sickly appearance was captivating, like raindrops under the eaves, which would disperse into a thin mist when the wind blew.
He gently stroked the jade-like Bixin stone on his chest with his fingers, his gaze slightly unfocused as he looked at a pear tree in the courtyard.
Despite the barrage of artillery fire, it miraculously escaped destruction. After the storm, a snow-white pear blossom lay on a withered branch, exuding fragility.
It is soaked by rain and frost, and grows against the wind. Its supple branches and forked twigs hold it high and make it very stable.
A sigh suddenly came from behind him, and a soft wool blanket fell onto his thin shoulders.
"My young master, do you think you're in excellent health and came out specifically to enjoy the breeze and cool off?"
Wearing a black shirt and black trousers, Lu Zhufeng, dressed in a classic black suit, wrapped the blanket around himself with a speechless expression.
"I've been cooped up inside for too long, so I came out for some fresh air," Xiao Wujie replied casually.
"Bullshit! I'm usually out of breath after just a few steps, how come I'm taking so long to catch my breath today, like it'll take half an hour?"
"If you want it to be breathable, then wear something thicker that's breathable too."
Lu Zhufeng crossed his arms and leaned against the pillar, his face full of disgust.
Xiao Wujie's eyebrows twitched slightly, his voice low and weak: "Didn't you bring me a blanket? You expect me to do everything, what do I need you for? Do you think my exorbitant monthly salary is just for free?"
His three deadly questions made Lu Zhufeng's expression freeze. Damn it, he's so nice to others, but when he talks back to him, he's full of venom.
He continued to persuade patiently, "Alright, alright, I admit it. I've had enough to breathe. Let's go inside!"
"These past two days, the Xiao family mansion has been rebuilt, and Old Master Xiao still needs Miss Chu and Lin Qingyi to keep an eye on things."
"You'd better keep an eye on things, so as to save people some trouble."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wujie suddenly raised an eyebrow and asked, "How is my grandfather doing?"
It's been raining these past two days, and Chu Liyue won't let him run around, so he can only ask about the situation through Lu Zhufeng.
Lu Zhufeng quickly replied, "I'm recovering well, I'll wake up soon."
"That reagent is incredibly potent; they say the old man's health indicators are even better than before."
So don't worry or feel burdened.
Lu Zhufeng stared at Xiao Wujie's pale, bloodless face and frowned slightly: "Go inside. You look a bit pale. Have Lin Qingyi check your pulse tonight, just in case something's wrong."
As he spoke, he shoved Xiao Wujie into the house.
After hearing his account of Xiao Qianshan's situation, Xiao Wujie felt a huge weight lifted from his heart.
Even if Xiao Qianshan were to suffer an accident, the fact that he would be left with a deep and lasting wound would still be a heavy psychological burden for him.
With his pent-up worries finally released, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of exhaustion wash over him, spreading throughout his body.
The next second, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
He heard Lu Zhufeng's startled cry of "Damn it!" His vision blurred, and before his consciousness faded, he mumbled, "Don't disturb my sister..."
At that time, in the ward.
Chu Liyue wore a white coat, her long hair was tied up with a lock hanging down in front of her forehead, and she had a cool and sharp temperament, showing the demeanor of a capable female doctor.
She flipped through the various test results, and seeing that all the data was positive, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that only if Xiao Qianshan was completely well, or even better than before, could Xiao Wujie's sense of guilt be eliminated.
So these days she has stayed in the observation room almost every step of the way, fearing that something unexpected might happen, so she has hardly had any time to accompany Xiao Wujie.
Beside her, Lin Qingyi observed the data from various instruments monitoring Xiao Qianshan's condition in real time, and whispered:
"Sister Chu, I've checked his pulse and looked at his data. If nothing unexpected happens, he should wake up tonight."
Chu Liyue nodded slightly and looked at Xiao Qianshan on the hospital bed. His complexion had returned to normal, and even had a faint rosy glow. His breathing was steady and gentle. Even an ordinary person would not look like he was in any danger.
She suddenly turned her gaze to Lin Qingyi, her eyes flickering slightly, and said in a low, cold voice, "Your modern medical technology has advanced very quickly."
Lin Qingyi chuckled and nodded upon hearing this. With a solid foundation and high talent, coupled with her tireless study day and night, even without her superb Chinese medical skills, she could become a capable modern doctor.
Chu Liyue pursed her red lips slightly and said thoughtfully, "When he's having his second and third surgeries, you can go and assist Ye Jinyu."
Lin Qingyi paused for a moment, then nodded seriously.
The second and third stage surgeries were a matter of life and death for Xiao Wujie. In Chu Liyue's eyes, she might not even be able to maintain absolute trust in Ye Jinyu.
Letting her work as his assistant was a sign of trust that she wouldn't have any disloyal intentions towards Xiao Wujie.
She will not betray Chu Liyue's trust in this regard.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. A maid opened it in a panicked voice: "Miss Chu, Miss Lin, the young master has fainted."
...
Enveloped in darkness and cold, for an unknown period of time, Xiao Wujie gradually regained consciousness amidst the blur.
Hearing a faint sound, Xiao Wujie struggled and opened his eyes.
The first thing that catches the eye is Chu Liyue's stunningly beautiful face, her eyes deep and seemingly carrying a hint of coldness.
Xiao Wujie's dry lips twitched slightly. Before he could even call out "sister," Xiao Shuihan's face loomed large in his eyes.
"My dear son, you're finally awake! Did you scare me to death?"
"The old man was just getting better, and you fainted? Are you trying to kill me?"
"You can't just tough it out because the old man isn't feeling well. What are your mother and I supposed to do if something happens to you?"
