Chen Xiaoru and Xiao Liu rushed all the way and finally arrived at Huzhong County Hospital. As soon as they arrived at the ward door, they saw the doctor coming out.
Chen Xiaoru's heart suddenly rose to her throat. She rushed forward in two steps, grabbed the doctor's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Doctor, how is my husband...my husband? Is he...is he okay?"
The doctor was startled by her arrest. He looked down at the woman in front of him, whose face was pale and whose eyes were full of fear. He sighed softly and said in a heavy tone, "Are you Xiao Lang's family member?"
"Yes, yes, I am his lover! What happened to him?" Chen Xiaoru asked anxiously, tears already welling up in her eyes.
The doctor shook his head and said, "Your lover is still in a coma, and the situation... is not optimistic. If he doesn't wake up today, I'm afraid he will..." The doctor didn't say anything else, but the meaning was self-evident.
Chen Xiaoru only felt a "buzzing" sound in her head, as if something exploded. She staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, Xiao Liu supported her in time.
Her lips trembled and her eyes were wide open, as if she couldn't believe what she heard: "How...how could this happen? Is he...is he injured so seriously? He is usually in such good health...how could this happen...Doctor, please, you must save him! I...I can't live without him!" As she spoke, tears rolled down her face like beads from a broken string.
"Comrade, please don't get excited. We will do our best."
The doctor comforted her, and seeing her distraught look, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. He nodded: "Go, go in and see him, he needs the company of his family now." After that, he turned and left, leaving behind a lonely back.
"Thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor!" Chen Xiaoru choked up as she thanked him. Then she turned to Xiao Liu and said, "Xiao Liu, let's...let's go in and see him."
The two pushed open the door of the ward and walked in. Chen Xiaoru walked quickly to the bedside and looked at Xiao Lang, who was lying on the bed with a pale face and closed eyes.
Her eyes swept over his deep eyebrows, high nose bridge, and tightly pursed thin lips.
This was the first time she looked at him so closely. Although she had already seen his appearance in the original owner's memory, she still couldn't help but exclaim in her heart when she saw him with her own eyes.
He was so handsome! His eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright. His features were three-dimensional and well-defined, as if they had been carefully carved with a knife. He exuded a masculine aura that made people's heart beat faster.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. The battalion commander will be fine." Xiao Liu stood aside and comforted her softly.
Chen Xiaoru suddenly came back to her senses, her eyes red, and she nodded vigorously, her voice choked with sobs: "Well, thank you, Xiao Liu!"
Xiao Liu scratched his head naively and grinned, "Sister-in-law, why are you being so polite to me? I'll go get some hot water. You stay here with the battalion commander!"
"Okay, go ahead. I'm here." Chen Xiaoru forced a smile and watched Xiao Liu leave.
The ward door closed gently, and they were the only two left in the room. Chen Xiaoru took a deep breath, quietly took some spiritual spring water from the space, carefully lifted Xiao Lang's head, and used a spoon to feed the spiritual spring water little by little into his cracked lips.
Chen Xiaoru sat by the bed, looking at the unconscious Xiao Lang. She gently stroked his face and murmured to herself, "Xiao Lang, you are so handsome! With sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, you look like someone who walked out of a painting. When will you wake up? If you wake up and see me, will you be surprised? But... I know you don't want to see me."
She paused, then continued with a lecherous look, "They say soldiers have eight-pack abs. You train so hard, you must have some, right? I wonder how many you have. I really want to see."
Chen Xiaoru spoke more and more quietly, her cheeks flushed slightly. As she spoke, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Xiao Lang's closed eyes, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly wake up and hear her "nonsense".
She gently touched Xiao Lang's strong arm with her hand. She could feel the tenseness of his muscles through the quilt, and her heart couldn't help but beat fast.
"Oh, Chen Xiaoru, what are you thinking about!" She suddenly came to her senses, slapped her cheek, and blamed herself secretly.
"He is still unconscious, how can you... think of such nonsense." Chen Xiaoru's cheeks were burning, and her eyes were evasive, like a frightened deer, not daring to look at Xiao Lang's handsome face again.
She bit her lower lip lightly and was about to secretly reach into the quilt to satisfy her curiosity when suddenly a big hand pressed her wrist.
"What are you going to do?" A weak but unquestionable voice sounded.
Chen Xiaoru was startled, like a caught thief. She turned her head stiffly, only to see that Xiao Lang had opened his eyes at some point and was staring at her intently.
"Hehe, nothing!" Chen Xiaoru laughed awkwardly and wanted to pull her hand back guiltily.
Xiao Lang's hand was like an iron clamp, tightly holding her wrist, making her unable to move.
She raised her head and met Xiao Lang's deep eyes, which were filled with a hint of inquiry and doubt.
"You're awake!" Chen Xiaoru's voice trembled slightly, her eyes full of surprise, but also a bit of panic. She subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but Xiao Lang held it tightly, unable to move.
She was like a frightened deer, eager to escape from this space that made her heart beat faster. She said, "I'll call a doctor for you!" and broke free from his hand, stumbling out of the ward.
Xiao Lang lay quietly on the hospital bed, watching her hastily fleeing figure with complicated eyes, an elusive expression on his frail face. He wondered: Who is she?
In the hallway, Chen Xiaoru was running frantically, accidentally bumping into Xiao Liu, who was returning with hot water. "I'm sorry!" she apologized hastily, a hint of shock still in her voice, and then she ran away like a gust of wind.
Xiao Liu stared at her retreating figure with a bewildered look on his face, the kettle still steaming in his hand. He scratched his head and muttered to himself, "Why is my sister-in-law running so fast? Is there a wolf chasing her?"
If Chen Xiaoru heard this, she would definitely retort in shame and indignation: "I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
At the end of the corridor, Chen Xiaoru leaned against the cold wall, gasping for breath, her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
She slapped her head in frustration, feeling her cheeks burning. She cursed herself inwardly, "Chen Xiaoru, oh Chen Xiaoru, you are so audacious! How dare you take advantage of someone in distress and tease an unconscious patient! If he finds out, he'll... he'll..."
She didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she quickly shook her head, trying to calm herself down, and then walked quickly towards the doctor's office.
