Chapter 93 Chapter 93 "After all, I have eaten it, this...
After the accident, Yao Yingxia did not lose consciousness. She was held tightly by Shen Xingchuan, which reduced the force of the impact.
Fortunately, the car he drove today was the one with the heaviest chassis. Even with such a huge impact, the car did not overturn, but it stopped after spinning in place.
The airbag deployed, enveloping her and Shen Xingchuan tightly. Yao Yingxia felt she had injured her neck. Aside from her head, which couldn't move easily, everything else was fine, with no noticeable pain.
Shen Xingchuan's injury was probably more serious. She had just recovered from the collision when she smelled a bloody smell.
Yao Yingxia opened her mouth and whispered his name: "Shen Xingchuan? Are you okay?"
But no matter how many times she called him, Yao Yingxia got no response. The man in front of her had lost consciousness, but his large body still maintained a protective posture, motionless, like a high wall.
She reached out and carefully touched his head and shoulders. She didn't find any external injuries, but the strong smell of blood lingered. He must have been injured somewhere.
At that moment, Yao Yingxia's thoughts became confused. She first remembered that Xu Nian had also been in a car accident and was still lying motionless in the hospital bed. Then she remembered how Shen Xingchuan had used every possible means to force her, hurt her, and humiliate her.
Many times, Yao Yingxia even felt that Shen Xingchuan hated her. Some of his behaviors were so bad that ordinary people could hardly imagine.
Yao Yingxia even thought about committing suicide and prayed countless times, hoping that Shen Xingchuan would disappear completely.
But when she really encountered this dangerous situation, Yao Yingxia found that she did not want Shen Xingchuan to die like this, at least not because of her.
The car door was quickly opened by a traffic police officer on duty nearby. He quickly observed their general condition and asked the conscious girl, "Can you speak? Where do you feel the most serious injury?"
"Neck, can't move, a little painful."
The traffic police reassured him, "Rescue will be here soon. Please try to remain calm and don't move."
After Yao Yingxia responded, she immediately asked, "Is the person I was traveling with seriously injured?"
The traffic policeman's gaze shifted: "This gentleman probably didn't have a fatal injury. It's just that the car door deformed and injured his leg."
Just at this moment, the sound of an ambulance was heard, and soon medical staff came forward to check the situation. They first transferred Shen Xingchuan out and then sent Yao Yingxia to the ambulance.
She saw a large bloodstain on Shen Xingchuan's lead-gray trouser leg, but there was no obvious deformation. Thinking about the current situation of the two people, Yao Yingxia called Nie Yuan, but the phone rang several times and no one answered.
She sent a text message to Nie Yuan instead: "Mr. Shen and I were in a car accident. Please come to the hospital."
As soon as the ambulance arrived at the hospital, Yao Yingxia saw Shen Xingchuan's three assistants and several medical staff waiting at the door, but there was no sign of Nie Yuan.
One of the female assistants accompanied her to the emergency room. After emergency treatment, the doctor ordered a series of tests. After receiving the full paper report, the doctor said to her, "Fortunately, it's just a mild cervical sprain, with no spinal cord damage. However, we still recommend that you stay in the hospital for observation."
Ten minutes later, Yao Yingxia, wearing a neck brace, was admitted to a double room that was so luxurious that it was a bit exaggerated. The bed next to her was empty.
While feeding her water, the female assistant told her about the situation on the other side: "Mr. Shen has two fractures in his left leg, one of which is more serious. He is currently undergoing surgery. He will be staying in the same ward with you afterwards. Please don't worry too much."
Yao Yingxia's smile seemed a little forced. She felt uneasy living with Shen Xingchuan.
His half-smile suddenly flashed through her mind. The man looked at her with an ambiguous tone and said, "Xia Xia, we haven't done it in the ward yet."
This is just terrible.
Yao Yingxia shook her head violently, trying to dispel the inappropriate delusions in her mind, but as soon as she shook her neck, she felt a sharp pain in her neck.
The female assistant quickly stood up to stop her: "Ms. Yao, your cervical spine is damaged, you can't shake it too much."
Her back was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat. She only blamed Shen Xingchuan for his subtle influence on her. After the pain subsided a little, Yao Yingxia changed the subject and asked, "Why didn't Nie Yuan come?"
The female assistant's answer was flawless: "Assistant Nie is currently on a business trip abroad and won't be back for a while."
No wonder he didn't answer the phone. I guess it was because of the time difference. So how did these assistants get there in time? Yao Yingxia asked the question in her heart.
The female assistant said: “Mr. Shen’s car has an automatic early warning system, so the technical department received the news immediately.”
Yao Yingxia thought somewhat pessimistically that Shen Xingchuan might really live to be a hundred years old. He was rich and powerful, had regular in-depth physical examinations, and had a special nutritionist to adjust his diet according to his physical data. He also had a habit of fitness. Even if something happened, he would be able to get the best treatment in the first time.
The female assistant didn't know why Miss Yao had a wry smile on her face, which seemed a bit desperate. Fortunately, it was fleeting, and only fatigue remained on her pretty face: "Thank you for your hard work."
The female assistant smiled and said, "You're so polite." Then she stood up and helped her close the curtains. "Ms. Yao, please take a rest first."
In the dim room, her consciousness quickly became blurred, and she didn't even know when Shen Xingchuan returned to the ward.
When she woke up again, she heard Shen Xingchuan talking on the phone: "Go check immediately and find out everything about that driver. I need the results as soon as possible."
His tone was very cold, and even though he managed to remain calm, Yao Yingxia knew that this was a sign of his anger.
The body under the quilt shook uncontrollably. She wanted to continue pretending to be asleep, but she was so nervous that she wanted to go to the bathroom.
Yao Yingxia persisted for a while, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
There were probably too many people coming in, and the light and dense footsteps intertwined together, finally stopping in front of the bed next door.
One of them spoke first: "Mr. Shen, I am your attending physician." In the next ten minutes, he described in detail Shen Xingchuan's injuries and the precautions after the operation.
During this time, Shen Xingchuan didn't say much until the very end, when he asked, "How well can my legs recover?"
The doctor was very cautious in his words: "Generally speaking, the fracture site will heal after three to six months and will not affect daily activities. If you still want to do high-intensity exercise, it may take a longer time to recover. Most people will have sequelae such as stiffness, pain, and instability."
Now even Yao Yingxia understood the doctor's implication. Shen Xingchuan's legs probably could not be restored to their previous state.
He remained silent until the doctor left the ward. Yao Yingxia finally opened her eyes. Her neck could not turn, but she could still clearly feel Shen Xingchuan's gaze on her face.
He asked in his normal voice, "Xia Xia, are you okay?"
She subconsciously wanted to nod, raised her chin slightly, then paused, and finally said: "I'm fine, how about you?"
"The operation was very successful."
He didn't mention the severity of the injury, which made Yao Yingxia feel a little guilty: "I'm sorry."
Shen Xingchuan was a little surprised that she would apologize to him: "It's not your fault, those people were originally coming for me."
But she couldn't help but think, if Shen Xingchuan hadn't rushed over to protect her and moved his legs a few inches towards the door, would she not have been injured so seriously?
As she was thinking this, she heard Shen Xingchuan say in a relaxed tone, "Maybe this is retribution for my many evil deeds."
Yao Yingxia didn't know how to respond to this question. She remembered that Shen Xingchuan had injured his hand a while ago and didn't even have anesthesia when he was stitched up. So she asked hesitantly, "Did you have anesthesia this time?"
He probably thought the question was too cute, and a smile finally appeared in his voice: "Half numbness. Xia Xia, no matter how perverted I am, my pain tolerance is still within the human range."
She didn't know how many times she had called Shen Xingchuan a pervert behind his back, and now hearing him say it out loud, it was as if she had been caught red-handed.
A wave of heat rushed to her face, and all she could finally say was, "That's really great."
Over the next few days, the two of them lived in peace, but Shen Xingchuan was not in a good mood.
The person in charge of the investigation had made no progress. Seven days after the accident, he personally reported to the hospital, saying, "We've thoroughly investigated the driver and found no problems. His car was remotely controlled and he was completely out of control at the time of the accident."
Shen Xingchuan sneered: "The day of the car accident was not my normal time to go out. How could it be such a coincidence?"
It just so happened that their cars collided head-on, and it just so happened that the other car was being remotely controlled.
Excessive coincidences can only be deliberate.
The person in charge remained silent for a moment before saying, "We will continue to investigate."
Because Yao Yingxia was there, Shen Xingchuan didn't say anything more unpleasant, but the low pressure that permeated him was really scary.
It wasn't until that person left that the air in the ward seemed to clear up. Shen Xingchuan looked at the girl who was trying to lower her presence and said, "Xia Xia, I want to eat an apple."
There has been a constant stream of people visiting the hospital these days, and dozens of fruit baskets have been received. Most of them were given to doctors and nurses by Shen Xingchuan, and a few were taken care of by them personally.
Yao Yingxia had been freed from the collar the day before yesterday and was no longer seriously injured. She had originally wanted to be discharged as soon as possible, but Shen Xingchuan disagreed. She had become increasingly "weak," seemingly unable to care for herself despite only having injured her leg. She even needed her to feed her fruit.
Yao Yingxia was used to being submissive, so after hearing him say that, she took the apple, washed it, peeled it, cut it into small pieces and fed it to him.
When Xiao An walked in, he happened to see this scene.
Yao Yingxia did not tell him that she was injured and hospitalized. Xiao An accidentally heard someone around Song You mention it, and only then did he know that Shen Xingchuan and his sister had been in a car accident.
He didn't know where his sister was injured, and he was so anxious when he came that he didn't even knock on the door.
He didn't expect that they would be so close in private. The relationship between the two seemed to be much better than he imagined.
Shen Xingchuan had already noticed the arrival of this rare guest. After thoroughly chewing and swallowing the apple, he smiled at him and said, "Long time no see."
Yao Yingxia had her back to the door and knew nothing about this. She had just picked up another piece of apple and fed it to Shen Xingchuan's mouth. The moment she turned her head, the fruit flesh had been rolled into her tongue.
Xiao An's face darkened uncontrollably.
When people are at their most embarrassed, they always make things worse. Yao Yingxia didn't know why she raised the apple in her hand and asked, "Brother, do you want to eat it?"
After saying this, the three people in the ward fell silent. The gazes behind them almost penetrated the back of her head. Yao Yingxia didn't dare to look back at all, and she became very uneasy.
Xiao An suddenly walked over, took the apple from her hand and took a bite: "It's very sweet."
Shen Xingchuan was almost laughing out of anger: "After all, I 'ate' it, isn't this a bad idea?"
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but Yao Yingxia always felt that this sentence sounded a bit weird.
She was never good at dealing with this kind of situation. Just as she was about to change the subject to calm things down, she heard Xiao An say, "It's okay. There's no saliva on it."
Yao Yingxia was now overwhelmed. The way the two of them were arguing with each other was truly terrifying. She quickly opened a few more fruit baskets, picked out all the apples, and stuffed two into each of their hands. "There's still some here. Is that enough?"
Shen Xingchuan finally smiled: "It tastes better when Xia Xia feeds it herself."
She really didn't want to talk about apples anymore, so she turned to look at Xiao An: "Brother, why are you here?"
Seeing Shen Xingchuan put on a sour face after being ignored, Xiao An finally softened his expression, with only worry in his eyes: "Even if you don't want me to worry, you shouldn't have kept the car accident a secret."
"I just sprained my neck and I'm fine now." She really didn't want to hide it, but it was inconvenient to live in the same ward with Shen Xingchuan. Yao Yingxia didn't want to see the two of them at the same time.
But no matter how hard they tried to avoid it, the three of them kept running into each other. Yao Yingxia was afraid she would have nightmares for a few more days.
Seeing Xiao An's hand almost falling on Yao Yingxia's neck, Shen Xingchuan suddenly took a breath. Yao Yingxia subconsciously walked towards him: "Does it hurt again?"
Xiao An was very sure that he was doing such a contrived performance on purpose, and it seemed that he had performed it many times in the past few days.
He watched coldly as his sister skillfully rubbed Shen Xingchuan's legs, and thought somewhat maliciously, why didn't he have to have his legs amputated due to the car accident?
Xiao An walked closer, snatched his sister's seat, looked down at Shen Xingchuan and said, "Xia Xia doesn't have much strength, why don't I help you massage it?"
Without waiting for Shen Xingchuan's response, she pressed hard on his injured leg: "Does it hurt here?"
Even though Shen Xingchuan's pain tolerance was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he didn't even use any painkillers after the operation, it was difficult for him to maintain his calm appearance at this time. Yao Yingxia's face turned pale when she saw him.
Shen Xingchuan said almost through gritted teeth: "Thank you, my leg doesn't hurt anymore."
Xiao An just let go of his hand and asked, "How could a car accident happen suddenly?"
Shen Xingchuan didn't try to hide it from him: "Someone is deliberately targeting me."
"So that's why you implicated my sister?" This was a tone of accusation. At this moment, Xiao An looked very much like her brother from her mother's side.
Shen Xingchuan did not shirk responsibility and proposed a solution: "I will hire a group of skilled people to take turns protecting Xia Xia."
Xiao An stared at him for a while, then suddenly asked, "Can I apply for the job?"
Before Shen Xingchuan could make a decision, Yao Yingxia spoke up to stop him: "That's not necessary."
Xiao An was very persistent: "But your life is threatened."
First, someone attempted to assassinate Shen Xingchuan, and the murderer has yet to be found. Then, they were involved in a car accident. If only Shen Xingchuan was injured, it would be fine, but with her sister implicated, it was inevitable that someone would target her. After all, dealing with a powerless girl was much easier than dealing with Shen Xingchuan.
Yao Yingxia felt that Xiao An was simply crazy. The closer he was to her, the risk of being exposed would increase exponentially. Shen Xingchuan was already somewhat at odds with him. Even if Yao Yingxia could attribute it to possessiveness, she could not bear the torment of living with him day and night in the future.
She turned her back and tried to wink at her brother where Shen Xingchuan couldn't see, but Xiao An seemed oblivious. Compared to his sister's safety, everything else was nothing. Even if the truth came to light, he could always find a way to silence Shen Xingchuan, or even just elope with his sister.
Seeing that Xiao An was unable to communicate, Yao Yingxia could only place her hopes on Shen Xingchuan. After all, he was a jealous person who couldn't even tolerate his "blood brother", so he probably wouldn't agree.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xingchuan weighed the pros and cons and asked, "When can you start work?"
Xiao An replied: "Anytime."
"My assistant will contact you later."
"good."
The two of them made the decision without any regard for her wishes. Yao Yingxia was furious and didn't say a word to Xiao An until he left.
In the end, it was Shen Xingchuan who persuaded her, "Your brother is doing this for your own good. He's one of us, so you can trust him."
As if finding her reaction very strange, Shen Xingchuan asked again, "But I'm curious about the reason why you strongly object."
His suspicions were still strong, so Yao Yingxia had to brace herself: "My brother isn't a professional. If we really encounter an emergency, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it."
Shen Xingchuan didn't think it was a big problem. "Xiao An's physical fitness is very good at first glance. If you're worried, I can find a professional to train him first, and then he can start working after he passes the assessment."
With the idea of delaying it for as long as possible, Yao Yingxia agreed to the proposal.
