A familiar voice rang out at the door of the ward.
Yue Keqi turned around in fright.
Jiang Jingxue was covered in yellow mud, and her light-colored floral shirt was torn in several places, revealing shocking wounds underneath.
Although the wound has scabbed over, its depth is still evident.
If not treated properly, it will definitely leave a scar.
Her jet-black braids were long since disheveled, mixed with yellow dirt and grass clippings. Something had smeared on her face, making it black and obscuring her beautiful features.
Jiang Jingxue leaned against the wall.
Gu Pingwei was thrilled; Jiang Jingxue was not dead!
She's back safe and sound!
"ah!"
Yue Keqi staggered backward, "A ghost...a ghost!"
Jiang Jingxue sacrificed herself long ago; she couldn't possibly be here.
"What's all the noise about!"
Jiang Jingxue slowly entered the room, and upon smelling the disinfectant in the air, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yue Keqi choked, then came to her senses. Jiang Jingxue really wasn't dead?
She had mixed feelings; she felt a little regretful but also relieved.
If Jiang Jingxue dies, Pingwei will probably miss her for the rest of his life.
Does that mean she'll never have a chance in her lifetime?
"You're incredibly lucky! You're still alive." Yue Keqi said, pursing her lips.
“You’re not dead yet, so of course I can’t die so easily.” Jiang Jingxue raised an eyebrow.
"Xiaoqi, go quickly and call the doctor."
Gu Pingwei gave the order and laboriously moved the wheelchair towards Jiang Jingxue, his eyes fixed on her, "Where are you injured...?"
I was full of concern, but when the words came to my lips, I didn't know how to ask them.
"The doctor will be here in a moment."
A moment later, Yue Keqi led Zhao Heng, who had just gone out, back in.
Chen Hong secretly wiped away his tears: "I knew my wife was lucky and would be safe."
After examining Jiang Jingxue's injuries, Zhao Heng frowned and said in a deep voice, "Madam has some wounds that have already scabbed over. They need to be cut open and cleaned thoroughly, otherwise they will definitely fester."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxue nodded.
Of course she understood.
Yue Keqi stood still, showing no intention of leaving, her eyes fixed on Gu Pingwei, filled with resentment.
Jiang Jingxue had an idea and deliberately let out a muffled groan when Zhao Heng peeled open the wound on his arm.
"Jingxue!"
Gu Pingwei's heart tightened. "How are you?"
Jiang Jingxue looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, and she bit her lower lip lightly. "Husband, it hurts."
Gu Pingwei's heart softened.
However, conditions on the island are difficult, and anesthesia, which is rarely seen even in large hospitals, is naturally not available here.
He then placed his arm in front of Jiang Jingxue.
"I couldn't resist, so I bit it."
Jiang Jingxue blushed. "There are outsiders here."
"You! Aren't you ashamed!"
Seeing the two of them so affectionate, Yue Keqi was furious. She stomped her foot, turned around, and left the room.
Seeing her run out, Jiang Jingxue couldn't help but smile and took a handkerchief from the bedside.
"I'll stick with this one."
"I'll be heartbroken if you bite my husband and hurt him."
Gu Pingwei was taken aback. His expression didn't change, but his ears turned red.
Zhao Heng, oblivious to what was happening outside, thought to himself, "Young people are really open-minded."
Zhao Heng poured hot water from a large green thermos for later use, while sterilization tools were placed in a large white flowerpot printed with images of magpies on branches.
After a few seconds of pause, he treated Jiang Jingxue's wounds again.
Half an hour later, Jiang Jingxue's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
His lips were deathly pale, and he was extremely exhausted.
Just as Guan Yu underwent bone-scraping surgery in ancient times, Jiang Jingxue today removes rotten flesh from her wounds.
Gu Pingwei was once again shocked by Jiang Jingxue's perseverance.
Even many soldiers in the army don't necessarily have this kind of courage.
"Madam is a heroine among women."
Zhao Heng was tidying up his things; the hot water in the basin had already turned red.
He looked away, "I won't disturb you two flirting."
After saying that, Zhao Heng took his things and left.
It took another half hour for Jiang Jingxue to clean herself up.
In the ward, there were no other people's clothes, so Jiang Jingxue had to make do with Gu Pingwei's clothes for the time being.
The oversized military uniform looked like a child wearing adult clothes on Jiang Jingxue.
Jiang Jingxue felt empty all over and extremely insecure.
"hiss!"
The fabric of the military uniform was very crisp, and Jiang Jingxue couldn't help but gasp when it brushed against her wound.
"Where do you feel unwell? Let me see?"
At this moment, only Jiang Jingxue and Gu Pingwei were in the ward, and the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.
Gu Pingwei went to unbutton Jiang Jingxue's collar on his own.
"Pingwei! I heard that Jingxue... what's going on here..."
The ward door was suddenly pushed open.
An elderly man in a Zhongshan suit rushed in with a middle-aged couple he didn't recognize, his worry genuine.
Although the old man's hair was gray, he stood up straight.
The woman wore a purple cheongsam, and her well-maintained face showed only a few wrinkles.
The man was also wearing a crisp green military uniform. He took off his hat as soon as he entered the room, revealing graying hair and resolute features.
Jiang Jingxue pushed Gu Pingwei away and clutched her collar tightly. "Uncle and Aunt, please don't misunderstand."
"You brat! What were you doing just now?!"
Gu Zhongjun's expression changed instantly.
He raised his cane, ready to strike Gu Pingwei.
"Grandpa!" Jiang Jingxue didn't expect the old man to have such a fiery temper, resorting to violence so easily.
Unable to stop him in time, Gu Pingwei took a blow from the stick.
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom." Gu Pingwei shielded Jiang Jingxue behind him. "I was just checking Jingxue's wound."
