Chapter 175: Wait until you get better...we'll talk about it later.
After the earthquake stopped, the greenhouse was in a mess, but fortunately, despite the severe earthquake, the castle structure did not collapse.
The servants and bodyguards rushed in quickly, rescued Ji Huaishen and Wen Duo from the rubble, and rushed them to the infirmary in the manor.
After examination by the doctor, everyone in the castle, including Wenduo, had only suffered some minor injuries, and no one had even suffered a serious fracture.
Only Ji Huaishen broke two ribs, but fortunately his internal organs were not damaged. He did not need surgery and only needed to rest.
The reason for his coma was more due to temporary hypoxia caused by drastic emotional fluctuations.
Wen Duo stayed by his bed, her eyes red and swollen from crying. Her fingertips gently stroked his bandaged chest, and even her breathing was very light, for fear of disturbing his sleeping face.
It was not until Ji Huaishen's eyelashes trembled and he slowly opened his eyes that he caught her worried gaze.
His voice was still a little hoarse, but with the usual tenderness he had towards Wen Duo:
"Don't cry, I'm fine."
Wen Duo's tears welled up again, and she quickly held down his hand as he tried to raise it:
"Don't move! The doctor said you have broken ribs, you need to rest well..."
Ji Huaishen obediently did not move, but his eyes fell on her face, carefully tracing her eyebrows and eyes.
Then he raised his hand again, looked at the ring on his hand, and suddenly smiled softly:
“It’s a pity.”
Wen Duo was stunned: "What a pity?"
"An appointment tonight,"
There was a hint of regret in his eyes, and a hint of mischief:
"I'm afraid there's no way to fulfill it."
Wen Duo instantly remembered what she had promised before, and her cheeks flushed red, even her ears were stained with crimson. She felt embarrassed and anxious, and her tears fell even harder:
"You're already so injured! And you're still thinking about that kind of thing!"
Seeing her crying so hard, Ji Huaishen immediately put aside his joking expression. He wanted to raise his hand to wipe her tears, but it affected the wound. He frowned slightly and softened his voice:
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Don't cry, okay?"
The more he lowered his posture and coaxed her gently, the more Wen Duo felt sore and weak in her heart, sobbing:
"It's obviously you who's injured... Does it hurt? Why are you always comforting me..."
"Because you cry, it hurts more here."
Wen Duo forced herself to stop crying, slowly lowered her head, and gently pressed her cheek against his uninjured shoulder and neck, rubbing it like a kitten relying on its owner.
Ji Huaishen's body stiffened slightly, then he completely relaxed, feeling her warm breath and delicate skin on his neck. His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously and his breathing became slightly heavier.
The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, but it strangely intertwined with an extremely intimate and ambiguous atmosphere.
"Ji Huaishen,"
Her muffled voice came from the crook of his neck, with a heavy nasal tone, but extremely firm:
"Those things...are not going away. Wait until you get better...we'll talk about it."
The last two words were so soft that they were almost inaudible, but they were like a feather, scratching Ji Huaishen's heart precisely.
His eyes instantly turned as dark as night, surging with restrained desire and surging love.
His injured body should have been exhausted and weak, but at this moment, because of her words, something quietly woke up and his nerves tensed up.
He took a very light breath and tried to suppress the restlessness in his body.
"good,"
His voice was so low and hoarse that every word seemed to resonate from his chest, striking Wen Duo's heart:
"Then...it's a deal."
Wenduo nodded gently against his neck.
Neither of them spoke again. In the quiet infirmary, the only sound was the intertwined breathing, each one clearer and hotter than the last.
Wen Duo was a little shy. Her cheek was pressed against the warm skin of his neck, and she could clearly feel the beating of his pulse.
I had just moved closer to him on my own accord, but only now did I realize how intimate this position was.
The rise and fall of his chest when he breathed could be heard through the thin hospital gown, causing her heart to beat out of control.
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have leaned on him. Isn't it even more embarrassing to suddenly stand up now?
Just as Wen Duo was struggling with her conscience, her cell phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket.
She raised her head gently as if she had been pardoned, but she was still careful not to touch his wounds:
"I'm going to take a call."
The name "Jiang Zuiyue" was jumping on the screen.
Wen Duo answered the phone, her voice still soft after crying:
"Yueyue, what's wrong?"
Jiang Zuiyue's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Duoduo! There was a sudden earthquake here, but the shaking wasn't strong. How's your situation? Are you okay?"
When Wen Duo heard her friend's concerned voice, her nose felt sore and she choked up as she recounted the thrilling scene that had just happened.
When she talked about Ji Huaishen being injured while protecting her, her voice couldn't help but tremble again.
Jiang Zuiyue took a deep breath on the other end of the phone:
"Is it such a coincidence?"
When Wen Duo heard this, she realized something and was about to speak, but when she thought of Ji Huaishen next to her, she finally stood up with her phone in hand and said to Ji Huaishen:
"I'm going to go out for a while."
She walked out of the ward quickly.
Wen Duo walked to the corner of the corridor and lowered her voice:
"Yueyue, do you think this could be caused by world consciousness?"
She really didn't believe it.
Why.
It had to be at that time.
And they are in the most dangerous greenhouse.
There were flowers all over the head and around. It was lucky that those things didn't kill anyone when they fell down. In the end, everyone only suffered minor injuries.
Even Ji Huaishen was thankful that he didn't die after such a heavy object fell on him. In the end, he only broke two ribs.
She didn't expect Ji Huaishen to be more seriously injured, but this was simply not in line with the rules she knew.
Jiang Zuiyue was silent for a moment, and said in a serious tone:
"I guess, there's a high probability that it is. But we can't rule out the possibility that it was really an accident."
Wen Duo bit her lower lip, tears began to well up in her eyes again:
"What should I do? Ji Huaishen is injured. In order to protect me..."
Her voice choked with sobs, "If it gets worse next time..."
"Or, will you come back?"
Jiang Zuiyue suggested:
"I guess the world consciousness just wants you to come back, so it does all this."
Wen Duo said anxiously:
"But, going back there will be danger..."
"yes."
Jiang Zuiyue sighed:
"But if you go back, there will be bullet screens. If you follow the instructions, you may be able to avoid those dangers. But if you stay on the island, the dangers you will encounter are unknown."
Wen Duo leaned against the cold wall and thought for a long time.
Outside the window at the end of the corridor, the setting sun was casting its last golden rays of light on the sea level, which was heartbreakingly beautiful.
She remembered Ji Huaishen's determined eyes when he protected her, and his tenderness in comforting her first even when he was hurt.
Finally, she nodded slightly, as if she had made up her mind:
"Okay, let's go back. I'll go talk to Ji Huaishen."
"Okay, I'll try to think of a solution and see if I can find something."
Jiang Zuiyue paused and added:
"Take good care of your Mr. Ji, and take good care of yourself."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Duo did not return to the ward immediately, feeling mixed emotions.
This vacation was specially arranged by Ji Huaishen. He was willing to turn down all the work at the company just to be with her.
A full two weeks of vacation.
But now it has to end early.
However, if you continue to stay, you might encounter danger.
Finally, Wen Duo bit her lip and turned back to the ward.
