Time flies like an arrow, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Wujie spent all three days in a deep sleep.
Due to the exhausting use of supernatural techniques, he became mentally and physically drained, and after being exposed to the cold winds of the night, he fell ill and could not recover that very night.
Wanting him to get better rest, and since Ye Jinyu was also in Haijing Bay, Chu Liyue directly arranged for him to stay at Gu's private hospital, where Ye Jinyu would continue to be in charge of his treatment.
At first, it was just a cold, weakness, and lack of energy. But later, it developed into a full-blown illness. Even when I was unconscious, I was still in so much pain that my whole body was shaking.
At first, he just unconsciously clenched his teeth, his body trembling. Gradually, perhaps because the pain became unbearable, he bit his lip hard with fierce determination, refusing to loosen his grip even as blood streamed down his face.
Later on, the teeth began to bite and gnaw indiscriminately without any control, and the mouth was covered in blood.
Seeing that he might bite his tongue, Chu Liyue directly grabbed his chin in front of the medical staff, forced him to open his mouth, covered it with her red lips, and probed in with her fragrant tongue, gently caressing him to calm his anxiety and discomfort.
Fortunately, Ye Jinyu was already familiar with his condition, and the treatment was precise and timely. After a night of intense treatment, his condition was finally stabilized.
Even so, his days of coma prevented him from eating anything and he could only survive on intravenous nutrition. His already thin face visibly shrank even further, and his pale and haggard appearance was heartbreaking.
Many people came to visit her during this time, but without exception, they were all blocked at the door by Chu Liyue, who was in an extremely bad mood.
Finally, on the evening of the third day, Xiao Wujie opened his eyes with some difficulty and slowly woke up.
The first person he saw when he opened his eyes was naturally Chu Liyue, who had never left his side and had been guarding him all along.
However, she looked a little disheveled at the moment. Her long hair was no longer shiny and smooth, and her clothes were wrinkled, unlike her usual neat and tidy appearance.
Although his eyes were still full of care and affection, Xiao Wujie, who was always observant, still keenly noticed something unusual about her.
She didn't hug him.
Chu Liyue knew that he loved being hugged by her. Even when she came home from get off work, the first thing she would do was hug him. Many times, even if she slept with him all night and her arms were sore and numb, she couldn't bear to let go.
He was so sick today, but she didn't hug him.
—He speaks less now.
This kind of reply, consisting of only two or three words per sentence, is her usual style of speaking to others. When speaking to him, she would patiently say more.
Chu Liyue helped him up and made him sit on the edge of the bed. Afraid that he would hurt his back, she put a cushion under his waist and carefully tucked the blanket around him. Then she remained silent.
I still didn't hug him!
Just as Xiao Wujie was about to cuddle with her and ask for a hug, she suddenly stood up, not even looking at him, and said indifferently:
"You rest first, I'll wash up."
—They don't even call me "baby" anymore!
"elder sister……"
Seeing that she was about to leave, Xiao Wujie immediately spoke, his eyes misting over, his voice hoarse and trembling.
Chu Liyue clenched her fingers, forcing herself not to look back at him. After a pause, she still stepped out.
He instructed Lu Zhufeng, who had been guarding the door, to go in and keep him company, and then left without turning his head.
As soon as Lu Zhufeng entered, he saw Xiao Wujie staring blankly at the door, motionless, like a stone waiting for his wife.
Seeing his dejected and haggard appearance, the teasing words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down.
He scratched his head and sat down beside Xiao Wujie's bed.
After sitting for a while, Xiao Wujie kept staring out the door, looking absent-minded, and didn't even glance at him.
He glanced up at the ceiling speechlessly, then softened his tone and said:
"You! You're always so stubborn! Don't you even know if your body can withstand this kind of torment?"
Xiao Wujie, however, seemed not to hear, his eyes unfocused as he stared ahead, murmuring softly:
"She's angry..."
"You're always making people worry, how can they not be angry?"
"She won't hug me..."
"Um?"
"She doesn't call me 'darling' anymore..."
"..."
He was about to continue speaking in a daze, as if the whole world owed him millions.
Shut your stinking mouth!
Lu Zhufeng roared, a sound that echoed throughout the room and stunned the dazed Xiao Wujie.
After a moment of stunned silence, he immediately gave Lu Zhufeng a look that said, "You're talking to me."
Upon seeing this, Lu Zhufeng's imposing aura instantly weakened, but after hesitating for a moment, he still spoke in a deep voice:
"I know what you're thinking, but don't you think about it? She values your life more than anything. You always treat your own life like it's nothing. How can she not feel disappointed?"
"Doing this will only make her think that you don't care about her feelings at all!"
This time, it was Xiao Wujie's turn to lose his momentum. He leaned against the headboard, looking up at the ceiling with a slightly weak voice.
"Hmm...you're right..."
He answered with the second half of the sentence; in fact, he understood the preciousness of life very well.
It is precisely because we understand the preciousness of life so well that when we see so many people who have become bloodthirsty and whose lives are treated as worthless as grass, we are deeply moved.
But behind this lies the price of countless people shedding tears and countless families being torn apart!
He wasn't a saint, but he didn't want others to pay such a heavy price because of him, so he chose to forcefully cast the spell, control the entire scene, and achieve victory at the lowest possible cost.
This time, however, he chose the whole world, but he let down the person he loved!
The feeling was complex and indescribable, as if no matter what choice he made, the ending was destined to be unsatisfactory.
