Chapter 101 A Clean Break
A sharp pain slowly spread throughout my body. The sharp knife slowly penetrated deeper, breaking through my skin. I closed my eyes, awaiting the final verdict. I felt blood flowing all over my body—from my face, my neck, and my heart, seeping out little by little.
"Amy, put it down~" The door was pushed open, and Chu Zhen's voice woke me up. I immediately opened my eyes. Amy was startled when she heard Chu Zhen's voice. She seemed not to have expected Chu Zhen to come back. She looked at the door in a panic. I took the opportunity to kick Amy, and she fell to the ground a meter away from me.
"Lin Dang, are you alright?" Chu Zhen ran to my side.
"I'm fine~ Chu Zhen, watch out~" Amy suddenly stood up behind us, holding a knife and walking towards us with a ferocious look on her face.
Chu Zhen turned around and shielded me behind him. Amy seemed surprised, but she didn't stop moving in time, and the knife plunged directly into Chu Zhen's body.
"Amy, are you crazy? Chu Zhen, how are you?" I quickly looked at the location of the knife, thankfully, it was only in the ribs.
"Amy, this is repayment for the bullet you took for me back then. My past can be wiped clean, but I won't let Lin Dang's matter rest. You'd better be prepared."
Chu Zhen and I helped each other out the door. Under the moonlight, the air was thick with the stench of blood.
"How did you get hurt while trying to save someone?" It turned out that Chen Weiqi and Song Huai were right at the door.
"It's okay, let's go straight to the hospital." Chu Zhen didn't say much, helped me into the car, and I could feel that he was about to collapse. After all, my injuries were only superficial, while his injuries had penetrated deep into his body.
"Does it hurt?" Chu Zhen was still thinking about my injury.
"It's okay, don't talk. Chu Zhen, can you drive faster?" I was very worried about Chu Zhen's injury. If he bled so much that he had to go to the hospital, that would be terrible.
"The ambulance is on its way, don't worry."
It turned out that Huang Yanyan had already contacted an ambulance, but she didn't know the situation at first. Now that she knew, she immediately came with the ambulance.
Fortunately, we encountered the ambulance halfway there, and I insisted on staying in the same vehicle as Chu Zhen.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Chu Zhen was immediately taken into the operating room, while I went to the outpatient department for disinfection and bandaging.
"That woman is really ruthless. Will my face ever recover?" Huang Yanyan said with heartache as she looked at the scars on my face, her eyes already brimming with tears, but she was still trying to pretend to laugh with me.
"Compared to saving my life, what's a little facial injury?"
After I finished bandaging myself, I sat outside the operating room waiting for Chu Zhen. Even though I knew Chu Zhen would be fine, I was still uneasy. Finally, the operating room door opened, and Chu Zhen was wheeled out. The surgery was successful, but he would probably have another scar on his body!
The advantage of having Huang Yanyan around is that we can stay in a VIP ward as long as we are hospitalized. Originally, there was only one bed in the VIP ward, but Huang Yanyan asked for an extra bed to be added because I still needed to have an IV drip for anti-inflammatory treatment. After settling us in, they left first. Chu Zhen was still under the effects of anesthesia, so I sat on the edge of the bed looking at the man in front of me.
It is said that people with thin lips are the most heartless. Is he heartless or compassionate?
"What are you looking at?" I was so engrossed in what I was looking at that I didn't even notice when Chu Zhen opened his eyes.
"What kind of dreams do you think you'll have? Nightmares or sweet dreams?"
"Does it hurt?" Chu Zhen reached out and touched my wound.
"It doesn't hurt." I grabbed Chu Zhen's hand and pressed it against my face. Just last night, I was thinking that we were separated by death. Who would have thought that I could still hold his hand and feel the warmth of his hand now?
"The doctor said that my injury will leave a scar, especially on my face. It's covered with gauze now, but once the wound heals and the gauze is removed, there will be a scar."
"It's okay, cosmetic surgery technology is very advanced now, scar removal is a minor issue."
"I confidently told Huang Yanyan that you wouldn't mind, but I didn't expect you to care. Sigh, I misjudged you. Turns out you're a looks-obsessed guy."
“Seeing that scar makes me feel guilty and remorseful.” Chu Zhen looked at me intently. “It’s my fault that you got so many injuries. I didn’t protect you properly, which is why you have this scar.”
"I was just kidding. Huang Yanyan found a specialist, and the doctor said it would only leave a faint mark. And as long as I'm careful, I can just apply some ointment later, and you won't be able to tell at all." I was just joking with Chu Zhen, but I didn't expect him to feel guilty. I felt bad.
Although Huang Yanyan had the doctor add another bed, I still crawled to lie down next to Chu Zhen. Holding him felt incredibly reassuring. After a whole day and night of tossing and turning, I finally slept soundly in Chu Zhen's arms.
"This is disgusting. Do they have to make things this offensive even in a hospital?" It seemed to be Huang Yanyan's voice. I opened my eyes and sure enough, this guy was standing at the head of the bed staring at me, while Chu Zhen was looking at me with a doting expression.
What brings you here?
"I brought you food, otherwise what would you eat? Get up quickly, stop being so mushy, you didn't eat anything yesterday, did you!"
Then it dawned on me that I haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning, so why don't I feel hungry at all?
"You all need to eat something light. The chicken soup is for Chu Zhen, and I stewed bird's nest for you. This is my family's secret stash. I specially asked my mom to stew it for you. Bird's nest is said to have beauty and skin-nourishing effects."
"I love my Yan Yan the most, how can you be so good to me?" I hugged Huang Yan Yan and kissed her cheeks passionately. This is something we used to do often in college, but it has been a long time since I have expressed my strong feelings like this.
"Okay, okay, who knows if your lips have kissed your great Chu before? Don't kiss me, I don't want to indirectly kiss other men, I want to save my face for my Chen Weiqi."
"Tch, shameless!"
I brought chicken soup to Chu Zhen. He still can't get out of bed, and he must be hungry. He finished it in just a few sips. I guess he didn't eat much yesterday, just like me!
"How did you find me yesterday?" After dinner, Chu Zhen needed to rest, so Huang Yanyan and I went for a walk in the hospital's small garden.
"Chu Zhen called me this morning, asking if I was with you. He said he couldn't find you anywhere. Later, he checked the TV station's surveillance footage and found that you got into a taxi. Then he went to the car rental company to check the car's driving record and found that you went to a residential area in a small town. He felt that things were not so simple. He wanted to track your location through your phone, but your phone was turned off. Then he thought of Amy and asked his colleagues at the police station to help track Amy's location. However, Amy's signal was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, making it difficult to track her. Finally, he found the general location, and Chu Zhen seemed to know where it was. He rushed over. Fortunately, you were okay."
