Chapter 127 My hard work, Mrs. Pei
The bell on her fingertips had not yet been clenched, and the sound of "zhizhi" was light and hoarse, but it was like a thin needle that pierced Yu Zhi's heart.
She froze in place, and it took her a long time before she dared to slowly look up.
Pei Yuezhou on the hospital bed opened his eyes at some point.
There was a faint red at the corners of his eyes, and there was still a layer of mist in his pupils. His face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and even his lips were bloodless.
But those eyes were fixed on her tightly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving piece of driftwood.
He didn't have the strength to say another word. He just moved his fingers slightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, and he hooked her hand hanging by her side little by little.
The force was very light, as if afraid of breaking her, but it was also very tight, as if he wanted to hold her tightly to his side, an instinct engraved in his bones.
Yu Zhi's tears suddenly welled up and fell on the backs of their clasped hands.
She opened her mouth and wanted to call his name, but the voice was stuck in her throat, leaving only a choked sob.
Pei Yuezhou looked at her tears and frowned slightly.
He raised his other hand with difficulty, and his fingertips, which were cool, gently rubbed her cheek, wiping away her tears bit by bit.
The movement was clumsy, yet so gentle that it made people feel distressed.
He even had difficulty opening his eyes, but he still wanted to wipe her tears.
"Don't... cry." His voice was hoarse, and every word he said seemed to take away his energy, but his eyes never left her face.
Yu Zhi suddenly reacted and hurriedly wanted to stand up and call for help, but Pei Yuezhou held her hand tightly and refused to let go.
She looked back at him, her eyes red: "I'll go call the doctor, wait for me, I'll be back soon."
He seemed to understand, and his fingertips loosened slightly, but still did not let go completely.
Yu Zhi took the opportunity to pull her hand away, almost stumbling to the door of the ward, opened the door and shouted: "Lin Zhi! Lin Zhi! He's awake! Pei Yuezhou is awake!"
Lin Zhi, who was guarding outside the door, was originally sorting documents with his head down. When he heard the sound, he suddenly looked up and the folder in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
He rushed over to support Yu Zhi, who was almost unable to stand, his voice trembling: "Madam, what did you say? Director Pei... is awake?"
"Go call a doctor!" Yu Zhi pushed his arm, tears still falling, but with uncontrollable excitement.
Lin Zhi didn't dare to delay any longer and turned around and ran to the nurses' station.
The footsteps in the corridor suddenly became chaotic, and medical staff hurried over with equipment, and the ward suddenly became lively.
Only Pei Yuezhou was still lying quietly on the hospital bed, his eyes always following Yu Zhi's figure. Until she walked back to the bedside, he slowly stretched out his hand, waiting for her to hold it again.
After a thorough examination, the attending physician stared at the report in his hand, his expression changing from disbelief at first to amazement later. It could only be described as brilliant.
In all his years of practice, he had never seen a patient whose condition was so critical that it was almost hopeless suddenly improve to this extent.
The doctor confirmed the data on the ECG monitor several times before he finally suppressed his surging shock. When he turned to Yu Zhi, his tone was still filled with excitement that had not completely faded.
"Pei, Director Pei is fine now! He's just a little weak from lying in bed for so long. He'll be hospitalized for observation for a while. Once all indicators are stable, he can be discharged and go home to recuperate."
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, the tense atmosphere in the ward instantly relaxed.
Lin Zhi and Special Assistant Xu both breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, the boss finally made it.
Yu Zhi's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settled down. Her tense nerves relaxed, and a thin layer of sweat instantly broke out on her back. Even her fingertips were still trembling slightly.
She steadied herself by the edge of the bed and looked up at the doctor. Although her voice still had a hint of hoarseness, it had calmed down considerably. "Thank you, doctor."
No one noticed that Pei Yuezhou on the hospital bed never took his eyes off her.
His face was still pale, almost transparent, and his lips were lightly pink.
But those eyes seemed to be filled with crushed moonlight, firmly locked on Yu Zhi. There was no extra emotion in them, only a deep and unbreakable tenderness. Even his breathing rose and fell gently with her movements.
After the doctors and nurses packed up their equipment and left, Special Assistant Xu immediately grabbed Lin Zhi, who was trying to move forward, and tiptoed back to the door.
He whispered to Yu Zhi, "Madam, we'll be waiting outside. Call us if you need anything."
After he finished speaking, he gently closed the door.
When there were only two people left in the ward, Pei Yuezhou slowly moved his fingers.
He used a lot of strength to barely raise his hand, and lightly hooked Yu Zhi's sleeve with his fingertips. His movements were as gentle as if he was touching a fragile treasure, and he was afraid that the slightest force would hurt her.
Yu Zhi quickly leaned closer, her nose almost touching his forehead.
Only then did he speak in a voice as hoarse as if covered with sandpaper, each word punctuated with vulnerability: "Zhizhi...don't look for random men, okay?"
He paused, a faint red appeared at the corners of his eyes, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly, like a frightened butterfly: "I will never lie to you again... and I won't play tricks on you anymore. I'm sorry..."
He is obviously a person who has the final say in the upper class circle, but at this moment he is like a child who has done something wrong. Even his words are spoken in a cautious and flattering manner. He looks fragile and pitiful.
Yu Zhi felt a pang of pain in her nose when she saw him like this, but she was still feeling pent up in her heart, so she deliberately didn't let go immediately.
She reached out and covered his cold knuckles, the warmth of her palm gently wrapping up the coldness, but her fingertips didn't exert much force.
There was still a hint of lingering thorn in Yu Zhi's tone: "Whether I forgive you or not depends on your subsequent performance."
Hearing this, Pei Yuezhou's misty eyes suddenly brightened, and even his breathing subconsciously became lighter.
His pale fingertips gently rubbed her palm, and the delicate touch of his fingertips made her heart melt.
Her voice was as hoarse as if covered with sandpaper, yet it was filled with unconcealable eagerness and obedience: "Okay... I will definitely be very good and listen to whatever you say."
His eyes fell on Yu Zhi lying on the edge of the bed.
There was a faint dark blue tint under her eyes, and even her drooping eyelashes revealed fatigue. Pei Yuezhou's heart was instantly filled with heartache and self-blame.
He clearly didn't want her to leave his sight for a moment, but he still suppressed his reluctance and gently advised: "Go back and have a good rest first. I have a nurse here, so you don't have to stay with me all the time."
Yu Zhi closed her eyes slightly, and said with a hint of teasing, "Who was it that just now agreed to do whatever I said?"
Pei Yuezhou was speechless due to being blocked, and finally did not refute. He just slowly lowered his eyes, raised his body slightly with all his strength, and placed a kiss as light as a feather on her smooth forehead.
The kiss carried the coolness of his palm, yet revealed a burning cherishment.
Finally, he said in his still hoarse voice, word by word, "Thank you for your hard work, my Mrs. Pei."
