Upon receiving the news, Xu Zhengxi immediately flew back to Lingnan.
The more you fear something going wrong, the more likely something will go wrong!
He's always on edge, unable to relax.
"How is Si Xingzhu?" Upon landing and seeing Si Kangzhu, he first inquired about Si Xingzhu's injuries.
Si Kangzhu's eyes welled up with tears: "The concentrated sulfuric acid burned my left cheek and neck. There is no danger to my life, but I will need skin grafts later."
Concentrated sulfuric acid burned away half of her face and side of her neck below her left eye; the skin and flesh were no longer skin and flesh, and her face shape was no longer the original shape.
Fortunately, there were chemistry professors at the scene who provided timely emergency treatment; otherwise, the injuries would have been more serious if they had been taken to the hospital!
When Si Kangzhu saw Si Xingzhu, even this tough guy couldn't help but shed tears.
He regretted not scolding her over the phone; no matter what, he, as her cousin, was responsible for Si Xingzhu's accident.
If I had arrived at the scene immediately, if the security measures had been more comprehensive, and if all suspicious individuals on campus had been thoroughly investigated, she wouldn't have been injured.
Moreover, that person was after Xu Zhe. If Si Xingzhu hadn't reacted quickly and pushed Xu Zhe away, the sulfuric acid would have burned Xu Zhe!
This is a serious dereliction of duty on his part!
"Who is the assailant?" Xu Zhengxi lowered his eyes.
"The assailant is named Zhu Ting, who has been criminally detained. She is a junior high school chemistry teacher and the ex-girlfriend of Wei Ze, the teacher who took Xu Zhe to participate in science popularization activities."
"According to the initial interrogation, Wei Ze discovered that Zhu Ting had a paranoid personality and a strong desire for control during their relationship, so he broke up with her. After the breakup, Zhu Ting continued to harass him and even came forward to warn and threaten women and female students who had frequent contact with Wei Ze."
"The reason I followed Wei Ze to the science education site was because I suspected a relationship between Miss Zhe and Wei Ze, which led to my malicious assault!"
After listening to Si Kangzhu's report, Xu Zhengxi's face turned extremely gloomy.
Based on just a suspicion, he committed such a heinous act?! He simply couldn't imagine how violent he would have become if even a tiny bit of sulfuric acid had actually touched Xu Zhe!
"Continue the interrogation and dig deeper to find out if anyone instructed or instigated her!"
"yes!"
Si Kangzhu also felt there were still suspicious points. Although Zhu Ting was stubborn, she had only warned and threatened the women around Wei Ze before. This time, she directly threw concentrated sulfuric acid and injured people, which was really abnormal!
"Is Xu Zhe in the hospital now?"
"Yes, Miss Zhe is in the hospital."
Xu Zhengxi hummed in agreement: "Go to the hospital and see Si Xingzhu."
Si Xingzhu was lying in the intensive care unit, feeling extremely depressed.
My face and neck were in excruciating pain, and this usually talkative person didn't dare to move a muscle.
Xu Zhe stayed by her side, adjusting her IV drip and massaging her arms and legs. He wouldn't leave her side for a moment, except when she went to the bathroom.
Si Xingzhu rolled her eyes, signaling Xu Zhe to stop pressing. Xu Zhe's hands had no strength at all; pressing on her was like tickling her, making her even more uncomfortable!
Xu Zhe didn't understand what she meant: "I'll explain. When I say something that means something to you, just blink."
Si Xingzhu blinked.
"Do you want some water?"
"Need to pee?"
"Itchy skin?"
Si Xingzhu blinked.
Xu Zhe: "Where does it itch? Head? Face? Arms? Legs?"
Si Xingzhu blinked.
"My legs are itchy." Xu Zhe quickly went to scratch her legs.
He meticulously scratched her from the base of her thighs to the soles of her feet, making Si Xingzhu even more itchy, causing her eyes to roll back. If it weren't for her young master's sake, she would have kicked Xu Zhe away!
"Si Xingzhu."
Si Xingzhu was startled, her eyes widening in surprise. She was just about to kick Xu Zhe when she heard her young master's voice—was she hallucinating?!
"Si Xingzhu, how are you feeling?"
Si Xingzhu stared at the person approaching the bedside, and it really was her young master!
However, that's a rather poorly worded question. Asking her how she felt? How could it feel good to have sulfuric acid thrown in your face?! Xu Zhengxi, why don't you try it yourself?!
If she weren't so tall, it wouldn't just be her cheeks and neck that would be ruined, but her sharp, piercing eyes that could kill with their sharp, heroic gaze!
And then there's that damned Si Kangzhu! Si Xingzhu gets furious the moment she sees him! She hasn't even settled the score for the phone call he made at her! Even though he was in the wrong first, how could he lecture his own sister, a young girl, like that?!
How dare he call her a pig-brain! Then Si Kangzhu must be a pig who loves men! Maybe he's even been deflowered by Sister-in-law Chen Cheng!
Si Xingzhu had a lot to say, but couldn't utter a single word. He could only stare blankly with his speechless eyes, feeling extremely injured inside!
“She can’t move her mouth, she can’t speak.” From the moment Xu Zhengxi came in, Xu Zhe’s gaze was glued to him and never left him.
It had been quite a while since I'd seen him, and he was still as upright as ever. However, his brow bone and nose bridge were more defined, and his jawline had become more pronounced. The suit that had been tailored for him before was now noticeably looser on him.
Xu Zhe's eyes stung with tears; this person must be overworked, sleep-deprived, and have irregular eating habits.
Xu Zhengxi felt her gaze and her breath, and immediately wanted to meld her into his body.
But since Si Xingzhu was injured while protecting his people, he still had to greet the injured person first upon entering.
After exchanging greetings, Xu Zhengxi finally looked at Xu Zhe, who was standing on the other side of the hospital bed. Their eyes met, their gazes lingering, and endless longing and affection were silently expressed.
Si Xingzhu: "......" Being injured is annoying enough! And now I'm forced to eat dog food! Damn it! I can't even run away!
Si Kangzhu: Shouldn't we leave at this point? Should we push Si Xingzhu's bed out so we can all leave together?!
He looked carefully at Si Xingzhu's bedside. There were instruments and an IV drip, with tubes connected to her body. Pushing her out would be quite difficult.
Si Kangzhu instructed the person on the bed: "Si Xingzhu, take good care of your injuries."
Then he said to his young master, "Young master, I'll go and deal with the police first."
"Go."
Upon receiving the young master's instructions, Si Kangzhu stepped out of the ward.
Xu Zhengxi strode to the other end of the hospital bed and pulled the person directly into his arms.
Si Xingzhu: I'm so angry! Do you guys think I'm dead?!
And that damned Si Kangzhu! He just ran off and left her to suffer alone?! Damn it!
"Were you scared?" Xu Zhengxi ruffled Xu Zhe's hair, buried his head in her hair, and inhaled her fragrance deeply.
A deep sense of lingering fear and the feeling of having regained what he had lost stirred up waves of heartache within him.
"I was so scared... Waaah..." Xu Zhe huddled in his arms, and the fear and grievances she had previously hidden suddenly burst forth like a flood.
Hearing her sobbing, Xu Zhengxi felt a heartache so intense it was almost suffocating.
Si Xingzhu was so frustrated she was almost suffocating; they really thought she was dead!
"It's alright, it's alright, Xiao Zhe, don't be afraid, I'm back." Xu Zhengxi kissed her forehead, her eyes still wet.
