Xia Xingchi's confused and flustered mind completely froze, and he was completely unable to understand what Li Chengyuan was saying.
Watching him spit out another mouthful of blood, he was obviously in great pain, his whole body was shaking but he still didn't say a word. Xia Xingchi's heart seemed to tremble as well.
"Don't cry..."
Li Chengyuan's voice was hoarse and difficult, but he still tried to say: "The bank card password is your birthday... The will is in the drawer... It's all for you."
He was already having trouble breathing, so it was quite difficult for him to say this.
Xia Xingchi watched as his chest almost stopped moving after he finished speaking. He was immediately horrified, and felt fear and anger at these words that were clearly his last words:
"Stop it! Shut up and stop talking!"
"You'll be fine, don't think about it!"
Li Chengyuan smiled tiredly and slowly closed his eyes.
Last time, I lost consciousness very quickly. I didn't have time to say anything, and I didn't feel the intense and painful feeling of dying as I do now.
The wound on my back was of course very painful, but compared to the excruciating pain in my heart, it seemed nothing.
Fortunately, the emergency center staff followed closely behind the police and arrived at the scene quickly.
In the ambulance, Xia Xingchi stared at Li Chengyuan with wide eyes, holding his hand, as if he would disappear before his eyes if he was distracted.
The capital city is too big and the journey is long and difficult.
During this time, Li Chengyuan woke up for a moment. Seeing Xia Xingchi's extremely frightened look with thorns all over his body, he seemed to want to say a few words of comfort.
But with the oxygen mask on his face and him being too drowsy to utter a word, he could only squeeze Xia Xingchi's hand with all his strength to comfort him silently.
——If I had known he was so scared, I wouldn’t have mentioned the inheritance.
Li Chengyuan has always been meticulous. Whenever there is a possibility of losing his life, he wants to make his affairs after death as clear as possible to avoid causing unnecessary trouble and confusion to Xia Xingchi.
But this was extremely terrifying in Xia Xingchi's eyes. Perhaps he was influenced by various film and television works and firmly believed in his subconscious that a person was going to die after leaving a last will.
Li Chengyuan slowly lowered his eyes, helpless as he could no longer explain, so he tried his best to hold Xia Xingchi's hand tightly, but he lost consciousness again after a moment.
.
Xia Xingchi's mind was blank until he sat outside the emergency room. Even though it was not the first time he had experienced this scene, he was still extremely confused.
My mind was filled with Li Chengyuan's cold, powerlessly hanging hands, the glaring red blood at the corners of his lips, and his face as pale as paper that seemed like it would disappear at any moment.
While in the ambulance, because he was too nervous and like a frightened bird, the doctor took the initiative to comfort him and said that everything was fine. Although the patient's condition was not optimistic, the mortality rate was not frighteningly high.
Xia Xingchi nodded numbly, but didn't feel relaxed at all.
Even if the mortality rate was only one percent, if it happened to Li Chengyuan, it would be 100% despair for Xia Xingchi.
What's more, his myocardium was previously damaged and had not yet fully recovered. This was the most vulnerable recovery period, and the probability of rescue failure was not that low.
At this moment, Xia Xingchi was sitting on a chair. He held his face with his hands and rubbed it hard. His mind was confused and all kinds of thoughts filled his stopped brain.
For Xia Yu and Li Shengrui, two idiots with the halo of the protagonist, perhaps they can survive even with a chance of death.
But as Li Chengyuan is the villain in the original book, perhaps his predetermined fate is to die and be killed by the vicious protagonist.
So what if the last time we managed to save him from the brink of death was just a fluke and couldn't change the outcome at all?
Or is it all just a futile struggle?
At this time, the police came forward and asked Xia Xingchi if he could take the statement immediately.
The clearer everything is explained as early as possible, the easier it will be to solve the case as soon as possible, and to avoid giving the murderer time to destroy evidence or even abscond for fear of being punished.
Upon hearing this, Xia Xingchi bit his tongue and took a deep breath. He finally became a little more sober from his confusion.
Although he not only wanted to stay here to guard Li Chengyuan all the time, but also wanted to go into the emergency room to watch him, but the thought of Li Shengrui made him grit his teeth in hatred, and naturally he could not give him any chance to escape.
As family members might need to be present at all times, the police officers were very considerate and did not let Xia Xingchi go to the police station to take a statement, but only conducted it in a single office prepared by the hospital.
Xia Xingchi took the paper cup and took a sip of warm water. Although his heart was trembling when he recalled the whole process, he still had to explain it clearly in order to bring the devil to justice.
Xia Xingchi took a deep breath and described as carefully as possible the car that deliberately broke through the fence lift gate, the criminals who suddenly started to kill people, and a series of other things:
"Oh, right. I saw Li Shengrui on the road. He might have wanted to disguise himself as Li Chengyuan to lead me there, but I didn't follow him at the time."
Thinking of this, another outrageous plot and deep fear emerged in Xia Xingchi's mind -
What if I had actually gone there?
Once he fell into Li Shengrui's hands, he would inevitably become the biggest handle to control and threaten Li Chengyuan.
Before the incident happened, Xia Xingchi was not aware of his importance in Li Chengyuan's heart and only thought of himself as an insignificant hired substitute.
But after experiencing the moment when Li Chengyuan risked his own life to protect him with his flesh and blood, nothing could be more powerful proof that his self-positioning was wrong.
Xia Xingchi found it hard to imagine what would happen if he became a hostage.
Let's think in the simplest and crudest way, for example, if Li Chengyuan was threatened to stand in the middle of the road, waiting for the car that was speeding to come...
What if he really agrees...
Xia Xingchi couldn't help but feel horrified and gnashed his teeth in hatred.
If it weren't for that bastard Li Shengrui who deserved a miserable death, Li Chengyuan wouldn't have been in danger of death twice.
It took a lot of effort to get his big cat back in good health. When he discovered two days ago that Li Chengyuan's face finally had a hint of red, Xia Xingchi was extremely excited and felt a sense of accomplishment, so he decided to continue working hard.
But in such a short period of time, they were able to act so crazy and boldly twice in a row.
Xia Xingchi hardly dared to recall the horrific sound when the iron rod hit his back with the vicious blows intended to kill Li Chengyuan.
Whenever I think of it, my heart trembles with pain and I wish I could bear it for him.
Xia Xingchi tried hard to stay calm, biting the tip of his tongue and forcing himself to recall every detail as carefully as possible, trying to make everything he could say clearly.
If Li Chengyuan can escape the fate of death again this time, the most urgent thing is to immediately bring the vicious protagonists to justice and lock them up in prison for the rest of their lives.
As the saying goes, to untie the bell, you need to change the person who tied it. If you completely cut off the root cause of the murder, you may be able to change your fate.
Of course, the premise is that Li Chengyuan can survive.
Xia Xingchi finally finished speaking and looked up at the many reliable and friendly police officers who were there to comfort him, but he still felt extremely helpless.
Since when, Li Chengyuan has been like his safe haven in this world. His drifting boat with no relatives or friends has finally found a harbor willing to shelter him from the wind and rain.
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and the three "dong dong" sounds seemed to knock on my heart.
Xia Xingchi stood up immediately, knowing that if someone came to see him at this moment, it was probably related to the rescue results.
The doctor pushed the door open and said, "The patient has been resuscitated, but his vital signs are still unstable and he may suffer a sudden cardiac arrest at any time."
"I've read his medical records. He has a serious heart problem. He has suffered new injuries on top of old ones. Whether he can survive depends on what happens tonight."
After hearing this, Xia Xingchi frowned immediately, pursed his lips for a long time without saying anything, and then sat back in his chair dejectedly.
This result is obviously not good news, but it is certainly not bad either.
Because he couldn't be accompanied in the intensive care unit, he couldn't even go to see how his big cat was doing, and could only sit outside and wait anxiously.
He wanted to stay outside the ICU all night, but was stopped by Zhao Yinhe who rushed over after hearing the news.
Zhao Yinhe patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry. It's useless to stay here, right? Go back and have a good sleep. Maybe there will be good news tomorrow."
Xia Xingchi lowered his eyes, but suddenly heard Zhao Yinhe say again: "Wait, your hand is injured! Why didn't you bandage such a deep cut?"
After hearing this, he looked down and realized that the palm of his right hand had been cut by something in the chaos.
It was not until now that the blood had coagulated and stopped flowing that he actually realized and felt the piercing pain.
"Go, go, go! Go and treat the wound quickly. It looks quite deep. I'll ask if he needs a tetanus shot later. So after you've treated it, take a good rest!"
Zhao Yinhe knew best how much Li Chengyuan cherished Xia Xingchi, the apple of his eye. Let alone such a deep cut, even if it was just a slight scratch on the skin, Li Chengyuan could not tolerate it.
Xia Xingchi encountered too many things in one night, and he was still confused and overwhelmed.
So much so that he even forgot to feel the pain while using a cotton swab soaked in alcohol to wipe away the dust and dirt from the wound and getting a tetanus shot.
The nurse immediately encouraged: "Our teacher Xiao Xia is awesome!"
He also took the initiative to get the employee lunch boxes for Xia Xingchi so that he could have some dinner.
Xia Xingchi looked at the lunch box, but suddenly remembered that he had just promised to treat Li Chengyuan to a luxurious meal.
——But this person can save him money.
.
After barely eating a little dinner and drinking some water, Xia Xingchi lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.
I was already nervous and anxious, and when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, I suddenly remembered Li Chengyuan's words "as a lover".
He was too confused before to think about the ambiguous and explicit meaning. Now when he thought of this sentence again, Xia Xingchi was shocked.
——Does this sentence mean what I think it means? !
This statement is ambiguous and vague, after all, an employment relationship is also a "love relationship."
The two of them show their love every day, so Xia Xingchi naturally has the status of a couple.
But it didn't seem right to think this way. Li Chengyuan was shaking with pain at the time, but he still forced himself to say this sentence.
If the boss really just wants to emphasize the employment relationship, he is too dedicated.
But......
Xia Xingchi's heart was beating like a drum. On the one hand, he was worried about the critical situation of his big cat's life or death, and on the other hand, he was palpitating with this sudden ambiguity.
His heartbeat was pounding in his ears, keeping him awake. It was not until dawn that he finally managed to get some sleep.
The sleep was not sound, and I woke up again after just a few hours.
He was looking forward to receiving the good news that Li Chengyuan was out of danger, but he was also praying nervously that the gears of fate would change direction and let go of this "big villain" in his family who had not done anything bad.
Then he would go and ask in person whether Li Chengyuan meant what he thought.
Anxiety, fear, and a hint of ambiguous sweetness blended together, and the feeling was very strange. After Xia Xingchi woke up, he became more and more unable to sleep. He lay in bed with his eyes open, waiting for good news.
She was just stretching out her hand and gazing at the engagement diamond ring on her fingertips, thinking that it might not be impossible to spend her whole life with Li Chengyuan, when she suddenly heard footsteps at the door.
There is only this one VIP ward on the entire top floor, so the footsteps were naturally coming for him.
Xia Xingchi immediately jumped up, his heart beating faster, and stared at the door with wide eyes.
There was a knock on the door, but to his disappointment, his big cat was not sent back to the ward this time.
A doctor came in with a serious expression.
He slowly took off his glasses and said in a calm tone: "Family members, please take another good look at the patient."
Xia Xingchi was stunned when he heard this, and then there was a loud "boom" in his head, which made him tremble almost instantly.
"What do you mean...? Doctor, what do you mean?!"
Xia Xingchi felt that he might be having a horrible nightmare, yet he was extremely awake.
He suddenly jumped up, put on his coat, put on his shoes, and rushed downstairs.
——How come Li Chengyuan couldn’t survive the critical period?
——But I haven’t asked him whether that’s what he meant!
Xia Xingchi gritted his teeth and followed the instructions to push open a door.
Li Chengyuan has been transferred out of the intensive care unit. Perhaps everything is no longer necessary in his final moments. He is not even connected to any equipment to monitor his vital signs.
He had woken up, and seeing Xia Xingchi hurriedly pushing the door open, he turned his head weakly and with difficulty to look over.
"How could this happen..." Xia Xingchi walked up to him and grabbed his hand, tears almost welling up in his eyes.
Li Chengyuan moved his lips and whispered:
"You heard what I said last night, didn't you? You like money, right? I'll give you all my inheritance."
Xia Xingchi's tears immediately fell because of what was said.
It was obvious that he had been waiting for this moment, planning to happily inherit the huge estate of the short-lived villain, and then live a carefree life of eating, drinking and having fun.
But now that everything was in front of him, he didn't feel the slightest bit of happiness. The money-loving little man choked up and said:
"I don't want the money anymore - please don't scare me like this, please don't die, okay?"
Li Chengyuan suddenly started coughing.
Seeing this, Xia Xingchi hurried forward to help him up a little, to prevent him from choking in case he coughed up blood.
"Xia Xingchi, can you promise me... ahem..."
He started coughing again before he finished speaking. Seeing that he was about to tell his last wish, Xia Xingchi wiped his tears and said in a low but firm voice:
"You tell me, I'll agree to whatever you say!"
Li Chengyuan calmed down his cough with difficulty, and said with a pale face: "We have been engaged for a long time, but you have always been unwilling to get the marriage certificate."
Xia Xingchi was stunned when he heard this.
I thought that my mentality of avoiding and procrastinating was just a small matter, but I never expected that it would become Li Chengyuan's regret.
If I had known that he was going to die, why would I have thought so much? Why couldn't I have accommodated him a little and received a pair of red books?
Xia Xingchi lowered his head, and couldn't help thinking in his heart -
What's more, I might really fall in love with Li Chengyuan.
"Okay, let's get married now," Xia Xingchi met Li Chengyuan's gaze, "I agree now, okay? Can you hold on a little longer? We'll get married only if you're still alive."
After hearing this, Li Chengyuan just sighed and said:
"If I survive, will you marry me?"
"Yes! I promise to marry you." Xia Xingchi promised seriously, wiped his tears and was very firm.
Li Chengyuan asked again: "But, do you really love me?"
"I......"
This question really stumped Xia Xingchi.
He had never thought about this before. Just when he had a slight impulse in his heart, he was asked directly by the other party.
He himself didn't even know what this feeling was, so how should he answer?
Seeing him hesitate and remain silent, Li Chengyuan smiled faintly.
Xia Xingchi immediately imagined infinite disappointment, and couldn't help feeling guilty about how he could treat a dying person like this. Wouldn't it be better to just cheer him up and give him a positive answer?
But before he could speak, Li Chengyuan said calmly: "Kiss me, please."
Xia Xingchi's eyes widened, and his heart throbbed even more.
He naturally knew that in the current context, the ambiguous meaning contained in this kiss was completely different from the casual kiss they had shared in a hurry when they had just met.
"But......"
This time he hesitated for only half a second, but when he thought that he would never be able to kiss or touch the person in front of him again for the rest of his life, he immediately stopped hesitating.
Even more proactive than ever before.
He first kissed Li Chengyuan's forehead lightly as if testing, and then kissed his cheek.
The familiar and pleasant fragrance of Li Chengyuan lingered at Xia Xingchi's nose, and he suddenly felt that he could answer the question just now -
He seemed to have really fallen in love with Li Chengyuan.
Li Chengyuan narrowed his eyes slightly due to the kiss, but no one noticed that he looked like a sated and happy big cat at this moment.
The tips of his ears turned slightly red. He was thinking that since the purpose of the marriage promise had been achieved, it was obviously time to show his hand and not continue to provoke his little hedgehog.
But Xia Xingchi suddenly leaned down again without any warning and kissed Li Chengyuan directly on his thin lips!
The kissing skills were extremely clumsy, but more intense and proactive than ever before.
Li Chengyuan was stunned for a moment, and was so overwhelmed by this "unexpected surprise" that he couldn't recover for a long time.
After a long time, he reached out and hugged Xia Xingchi, taking the initiative again and leading this reckless and passionate kiss. For a moment, his rationality completely disappeared.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Xia Xingchi finally pushed Li Chengyuan away due to lack of oxygen again, but suddenly realized that this posture was wrong——
Someone who was so "weak" that he had difficulty speaking suddenly sat up in shock from his dying illness, got up, pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly.
The kiss after being dominated was even more intense. Xia Xingchi himself could hardly bear the lack of oxygen, but that person remained calm and even seemed not to have kissed enough.
Xia Xingchi: “.........”
When Li Chengyuan saw his expression change suddenly, he remembered that some script seemed to be forgotten by the strong emotions, and he even completely forgot to continue pretending.
The scene froze suddenly and fell into deathly silence.
After a long time, Xia Xingchi finally came to his senses and roared angrily: "Li Chengyuan! How dare you lie to me?!"
The author has something to say: Mr. Li: I got the promise of marriage (Barbie Q in the next second)
Crowd of spectators: If you play too hard, be careful of the crematorium of chasing your wife, the kind that is hard to coax＿(：з）∠）＿
