Chapter 338
Jiang Qiao stood in front of the ward door for an unknown amount of time. He took a deep breath and turned the doorknob. The faint smell of disinfectant hit him in the face. It was a smell that belonged only to hospitals.
The ward was very quiet, with only slight noises coming from medical equipment. The person on the bed seemed to be asleep, and had no reaction to her arrival.
Jiang Qiao stared blankly for a long time, and his vision gradually became blurred.
She blinked, trying to blink away the soreness, but it was no use. All the mental preparation she had put in place collapsed when she saw the person on the hospital bed. Jiang Qiao stood there in a daze.
When Mr. Sheng came in a hurry, he saw this scene. He knocked on the door with his cane to make a noise, but the little star didn't respond. He coughed hard again.
"I heard that you beat my son?" Old Master Sheng lowered his voice and said, "How dare you! What do you think of our Sheng family?!"
The threatening and authoritative voice was particularly abrupt in the quiet ward. Jiang Qiao closed her eyes. If it were in the past, she would have endured it because the person in front of her was Lu Xun's father, but now...
"He asked for it." Jiang Qiao said coldly. She did not show any fear in front of Mr. Sheng, who was older and more powerful than her.
"This is a ward, not a place for you to show off."
"you!"
"If you want to take revenge, I'll be waiting for you anytime. Now please leave."
Jiang Qiao did not give Mr. Sheng the opportunity to scold him harshly. From the moment Mr. Sheng chose to protect Sheng Jing, he was destined to stand on the opposite side, even though he was Lu Xun's nominal father.
"Lu Xun is my son! You are a young girl who has not even entered the Sheng family. How dare you say such things to me?!" Old Master Sheng was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. His cane almost knocked a hole in the floor.
Jiang Qiao wasn't actually angry, but she was really annoyed when Mr. Sheng yelled at her while Lu Xun was still lying on the hospital bed.
He is essentially the same kind of person as Sheng Jing, extremely hypocritical. Jiang Qiao suddenly didn't want to waste his time.
"Why don't you go visit Shengjing?" Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Maybe he needs you as a good father more there."
Jiang Qiao pronounced the words "good father" slowly. Old Master Sheng heard a mockery in it and his face darkened instantly. However, Jiang Qiao had already turned around and ignored him.
Mr. Sheng was still worried about his eldest son, so he left in the end. Before leaving, he specifically told his bodyguard, saying in a louder voice: "Notify me immediately when the young master wakes up."
The bodyguard responded "yes", but when he saw Jiang Qiao didn't respond, Mr. Sheng left in anger.
Old Master Sheng came in a hurry with the purpose of threatening and intimidating, but he left with mixed feelings. Jiang Qiao didn't care about it. In her eyes and heart, there was only the person "sleeping" quietly on the hospital bed.
Lu Xun is being lazy and he hasn't woken up yet.
Jiang Qiao stood by the bed and watched for a long time. It seemed like she hadn't seen Lu Xun for a long time. She looked carefully at every moment. After taking off her hearing aid, this face was no different from the one she remembered.
After watching for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Qiao slowly squatted down, took the man's hand, and buried his face in the warm and familiar palm.
Her movements were light, yet seemed to carry a wireless dependence.
In the clean, empty ward, the girl squatted beside the bed, rubbing slowly against the man's palm like a small animal seeking a sense of security. She stopped moving after a long while, and when she raised her eyes, her eye sockets had become moist and red.
There was only one two-seater sofa in the ward. Jiang Qiao squatted beside the bed, holding the man's big hand tightly, feeling the reassuring warmth.
After a sleepless night and a highly tense mind, Jiang Qiao suddenly relaxed and felt sleepy, and fell asleep in this awkward position.
Lu Xun had a dream. It was pitch black in the dream, with only a little blue light floating in the air. He reached out to catch it, and the blue light turned into snowflakes when it touched his palm.
The snowflakes melted in his palms, and the sudden chill startled him. Lu Xun slowly opened his eyes, and saw the white ceiling. The faint smell of disinfectant lingered around his nose.
Pain was the only feeling Lu Xun had. His throat was dry and uncomfortable after not drinking water for a long time. He couldn't hear anything without his hearing aid.
His arm was a little numb from being pressed, and he subconsciously moved it but was held tighter. He tilted his head with difficulty to look over, and saw Jiang Qiao's little face sleeping in his palm.
I don't know what I dreamed about. My long eyelashes were tied into strands by my tears, thick, black and wet. Another tear fell from my eye socket and landed on Lu Xun's palm. After being warm, it turned cold.
The last thing on my memory was Jiang Qiao’s red eyes from crying and the flashing red light of the ambulance in the dark night.
Lu Xun took a long time to relax. The pain in his body made him break out in a cold sweat. He inevitably moved, but this woke up Jiang Qiao who was not sleeping soundly.
Jiang Qiao opened her eyes, her peach-shaped eyes were misty and confused. She stared blankly at the man, unable to tell whether this was a dream or reality. Tears were gathering in her eyes,
Lu Xun's voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible: "Didn't you agree to not cry?" He raised his hand to wipe away Jiang Qiao's tears.
Jiang Qiao came back to her senses, and her tears fell even more violently. She cried, "I, I had a dream, and I thought you wouldn't wake up..."
Jiang Qiao dreamed a lot. The scenes of the capital of City A kept changing in her mind. She dreamed that Lu Xun did not come to the capital to find her, so she was left alone for a long time.
The scene changed, and she saw Lu Xun appear in front of her again, asking her why she didn't listen. She wanted to explain anxiously, but just as she was about to touch the man's hand, she only squeezed empty air. Lu Xun fell in front of her with a pale face.
The strong feeling of fear made Jiang Qiao a little tearful.
Lu Xun couldn't hear what she said. He could only see Jiang Qiao crying very sadly. Her body was shaking and tears were falling freely. When Jiang Qiao finally said enough, he pointed to his ears and said, "Hearing aid."
Jiang Qiao: “…………………………”
Jiang Qiao wanted to cry again. She wiped her tears vigorously and found a hearing aid on the table beside her and put it on Lu Xun.
"But, is it ok?"
Actually, it was a bit impossible. Lu Xun still had the roar in his ears and couldn't adapt to the hearing aid for a while, but he knew that if he told the truth, Jiang Qiao would definitely cry again, so he nodded: "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dry and itchy feeling in his throat made him cough uncontrollably. The cough caused his chest to vibrate, and the wound began to hurt. Lu Xun's face turned pale.
This scared Jiang Qiao a lot. Lu Xun had just woken up and was still very weak. What if his injury got worse?
“I, I’ll go get the doctor.” Jiang Qiao stood up in panic. He was so flustered that he forgot to ring the bell. The corner of his clothes was pulled lightly. Lu Xun endured the discomfort in his throat and said, “No need.”
