Ji Jin was sitting on the beach bored.
Looking at the seagulls not far away.
The temperature on this island is just right. Even though it's summer outside, there's still a spring breeze blowing on your face, which is really comfortable.
But she doesn't like staying here all the time.
"lady--"
Pojun watched Ji Jin jump into the sea.
Before he could run over, a figure appeared who was faster than him.
"First!"
Huo Qinghuai dived down and found Ji Jin to drag her ashore.
When Ji Jin was brought ashore, he was still a little confused.
Isn't it just that I didn't go swimming?
Pojun called for someone to come with a stretcher, lifted Huo Qinghuai onto it, and hurried away.
Pojun asked the maid to help Ji Jin go away.
Ji Jin wiped the water off his face, pushed the servant away, wrung the water out of his hair and asked, "What happened?"
“…”
Pojun was anxious to see Huo Qinghuai, but he had to keep an eye on Ji Jin, fearing that she would fail to jump into the sea and then think of other ways.
"I'm saving you first."
"Why?" Ji Jin was puzzled. "I'm not drowning, why do you need to save me?"
“…”
Pojun recalled what he had just seen. It looked like... like... swimming?
"You're not... jumping into the sea?"
"Yeah." Ji Jin didn't notice Po Jun's expression. She tidied her wet hair and hurried to wash and change into clean clothes.
“How can you swim if you don’t jump in?”
“…”
Pojun gave the servant some instructions and hurried to Huo Qinghuai's ward.
The doctor was treating me and I didn't dare to speak.
From his expression, Po Jun knew what he wanted to say.
The wound hadn't healed completely yet, and now it had come into contact with sea water, making it even more healed.
The fever had subsided a little, but now it's back again.
He also didn't understand why his mother tortured herself like this.
…
After Ji Jin took a shower and changed her clothes, she learned from the servants that Huo Qinghuai thought she had jumped into the sea to save her.
She really had nothing to say.
"Madam." Pojun came over, "Would you please go and see my father? Just one look, I beg you."
Ji Jin didn't want to go.
She is not a doctor. How can she treat the disease or anything? Can Huo Qinghuai do it just by looking at her?
"I still have..."
Pojun didn't force it. Once his master woke up and knew what was going on, he would be locked up in the small dark room.
At this moment, he probably knew why his father tortured him.
He wanted to empathize with Ji Jin, who had suffered at the time.
…
Chi Zhan was full and massaged Jiang Lai's uncomfortable calves.
At this time, his cell phone rang. He picked it up, looked at the number, answered it, and put the hands-free function aside.
Chi Yi didn't wait for the other side to speak and reported directly:
"Master, Mr. Huo is seriously ill. Medical care on the island is limited, and the doctor we brought with us couldn't cure him. Young Master Gu flew over overnight."
Chi Zhan glanced at Jiang Lai who had her eyes closed, but saw that her eyelashes were trembling, and she was obviously pretending to be asleep.
He asked, "How did you get sick?"
Chi Yi: "I heard that he fell onto a barbecue grill and got burned while trying to save Miss Xiaojin. He then had a high fever and didn't get regular treatment or eat. His condition was getting worse. He even jumped into the sea for Miss Xiaojin, and the seawater irritated his wound, making it even more infected."
"Everyone is confused now."
Seeing Jiang Lai's discomfort, Chi Zhan patted her waist and said, "Okay, if you want to ask anything, just ask Chi Yi."
Jiang Lai opened her eyes, Chi Zhan helped her sit up and placed two soft pillows behind her waist.
Then he handed the phone to her.
He sat next to her and continued to massage her.
Chi Yichen came forward: "Madam, from what I heard from Pojun, Mr. Huo has not been treated yet just to experience the pain that Miss Xiaojin went through."
"Repeated burns are very torturous."
Jiang Lai doesn't care about Huo Qinghuai. Even if he feels it now, it's too late to remedy the situation.
If he hadn't done that, Xiao Jin wouldn't have had to suffer so much.
Moreover, he did not help the person in need at the time, so don't blame Xiaojin for being injured now.
"How is my sister?"
Chi Yi: "Don't worry, Madam. Miss Xiaojin is a beautiful girl. Except for her lack of freedom, she has no other restrictions."
"When can I video chat with her?"
Chi Yi thought for a moment and said, "While Mr. Huo is unconscious, I can make some arrangements."
"Thank you for your help."
"It's not a big deal. It should be done."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Lai looked at Chi Zhan and asked, "What do you think?"
Chi Zhan held the phone farther away to avoid radiation.
After the massage, I helped her lie down and then said, "I agree with you."
Jiang Lai glanced at him and said, "Slippery."
Chi Zhan curled the corners of his lips, bent down and kissed her forehead.
"Go to sleep."
"I'm waiting for the video call."
"Go to sleep first, I'll fuck you tomorrow."
Jiang Lai was indeed sleepy, and after being coaxed by Chi Zhan, she fell asleep in a short while.
Just as Chi Zhan was about to go to bed and hug his wife to sleep.
His phone vibrated, and he quickly pressed the mute button, tiptoed out of the room, and went to the balcony to answer it.
"explain."
A casual voice came from the other side, "It seems that you are in a good mood tonight."
Chi Zhan asked: "Is there anything correct?"
"No, I just came to listen to you two quarreling."
“…”
Chi Zhan put a mint candy in his mouth and chuckled.
"Then you will be disappointed. My wife has always been rational and calm."
"Oh~" Zhou Fang repeated deliberately, "Be rational and calm."
“…”
Chi Zhan was too lazy to waste time with him so late at night and hung up the phone directly.
He fell asleep in his wife's arms.
Zhou Fang clicked his tongue, threw his phone away, and hugged his wife to sleep.
Ruan Nanzhi was still awake and asked, "What did Chi Zhan say?"
"Nothing." Zhou Fang nuzzled her neck. "It seems Jiang Lai has accepted it. She's quite quiet."
"Jiang Lai is amazing, but she gets anxious and loses her composure when someone close to her shows up. Otherwise, she's very versatile and handles situations well."
Zhou Fang pinched her little nose and said, "You're pretty good too. You learned everything I taught you yesterday in no time."
“…”
Ruan Nanzhi stopped talking and moving.
Otherwise I won't be able to sleep again tonight.

When Ji Jin saw Gu Chenxu, he realized that Huo Qinghuai's condition was serious.
Because every time she saw Gu Chenxu, he was in a serious condition.
In the end, he went to Huo Qinghuai's bedroom.
The bedroom was not like before, with so many people gathered around.
Only Huo Qinghuai was lying quietly on the bed, while Gu Chenxu was treating his wounds beside the bed.
She had not seen Huo Qinghuai's body covered with wounds. She had already left when the doctor cut off his clothes last time.
I didn't expect that after so many days, the wound is not only healed, but even worse.
"Is it so serious if it gets touched by sea water?"
She was originally talking to herself in confusion.
But he didn't expect to be heard by Gu Chenxu.
"Seawater only looks clear to the naked eye, but the ingredients inside are very complex. Besides, a wound like his would be more serious even if it came into contact with tap water."
"Because there has been no treatment."
Ji Jin nodded blankly, "With your medical skills, I'm sure you can cure him."
Gu Chenxu was wearing a medical mask, revealing only a pair of cold peach blossom eyes.
His voice was also as cold as frost:
"I can only heal external wounds. You'll need to treat your psychological problems."
