Chapter 56 I want you to kiss me, hug me, and touch my body
The refugee camp hospital had no closing hours. Even in the evening, Gu Weiyi was still working. Among the patients was a young woman with a severe, infected laceration on her genitals. Blood had clotted into black fragments and fell to her feet, buzzing with flies. He sutured her wound and gave her a few packs of sanitary napkins. These feminine products were now available at the hospital.
After the girl left, Li Wenjing walked in and sat down at Gu Weiyi's desk. She didn't say anything, just looked at him. He couldn't help but laugh, "Miss, are you not feeling well?"
"No, just came to see how you were."
"Good, last week you dug a well and donated a lot of hygiene supplies, so there are fewer patients."
"What about you?"
"The work is okay. The girl just now was on her period and had to sell her body to change the water, so she got a serious infection. It shouldn't be that bad now. I'm glad to see them suffer less."
"That's not what I'm asking."
Li Wenjing suddenly grabbed his hand and rolled up her sleeves. Her arm still bore the marks of numerous pinholes, like tiny freckles. He pulled his hand back, but Li Wenjing held it still and said, "You're not okay. You're still not okay."
"I don't want you to worry about me too much. You have enough tasks on your shoulders. If you distract yourself from me, you'll be very tired. Leave my own affairs to me, okay?"
"I believe you! But according to my analysis, the current situation is: you can't solve it. If I hadn't asked you, you would still hide it from me and pretend to be nice to me. What if one day you can't pretend anymore, you drive away quietly and say you don't want to drag me down. That's your plan, right?"
"I didn't, there's absolutely no such thing!"
He patted Wen Jing's hand, and tears fell down.
Li Wenjing held his slightly trembling hand tightly and said, "I hope you can be honest with me and tell me what you really think. I often feel very tired because you always hide things from me."
"I usually avoid mentioning these things. There's no point in saying them, so I don't think there's any need to let others know. I'm sorry, but I'm more afraid of putting more burden on you."
"Am I still someone else to you? Doctor Gu, you hurt my feelings too much."
He paused for a moment, "Of course not."
"Look, I can help you now. Don't feel so bad anymore. I was wrong last time, insisting you go find Gustav. I thought your relationship had improved because you were having dinner together, but were you just faking it? Return the drilling rig. I don't want it anymore, and I don't want you to go find him. What about you? Tell me what you want. Tell everyone else, tell Gustav, tell Philip. Don't keep it in your heart, just say it all."
Li Wenjing put her other hand on his hand, and he stood up and pulled her into his arms. He put his cheek against her ear and told her the words he loved. She closed her eyes and kissed his lips.
A quiet kiss, faintly scented with disinfectant, lasted a few seconds, and her teeth began to chatter. "You know what I want. I want you, and I want it right now. I want you to kiss me, hug me, and touch my body. I miss you so much. Ever since I left you, I've been missing you. It's been several months. I'm really tired of you. Even Captain Lu saw it. He said I was miserable and that we weren't suitable. But he didn't know anything about us and didn't understand how much I liked you. He asked me out for dinner and confessed his feelings to me. He's always frank with me. Plus, he's tall and handsome, and girls like that."
Li Wenjing's chest trembled with suppressed emotion, and she cried, "I'm just an ordinary person. I also want to be with the person I love all day long, eating, kissing, hugging, and sleeping. To be honest, I'm very worried. If you keep going like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself. But I love you, I really do."
In his arms, she cried so hard that a large area of his shirt was soaked. He took her to the dormitory, washed the towel, and wiped her tear-stained face first. Li Wenjing lay down on the bed, and Gu Weiyi came to push her.
"Let's go, let's go have dinner."
"I don't want to eat," Li Wenjing grabbed him, leaned over, and pressed him down on the bed. The towel fell beside the pillow, and she picked it up to wipe his face.
"I'll eat you when I'm hungry. I'll wash you first."
"How do you eat me?"
"Of course, eat with your mouth."
Li Wenjing lowered her head and bit his neck, leaving a small tooth mark. She looked up at him and he touched her cheek.
"You're cute."
"Besides being cute, what else is there?"
He "hmm" for two seconds, "Sexy, beautiful..."
As he was talking, he started laughing. Li Wenjing punched him in the chest and said, "You are so fake."
"No, I'm very honest! I'm telling the truth, but when you ask me that, I don't know what to say."
"But you still don't want to do it with me."
"No, I want to, I really want to make a mess with you. You said you are an ordinary girl and I am an ordinary man, like now, you like to sit on me, on top of me, I think you are very sexy."
His hands wandered over her waist and moved all the way to her hips.
"And what are you going to do?"
"Don't think about anything. Just have a good sleep with you. After I wake up, I'll call Philip and give him a good scolding."
"Don't wait, call now and scold him."
Li Wenjing took his cell phone and put it directly into his hand. He called Philip and rarely used swear words. Li Wenjing laughed so hard on his chest that she couldn't straighten her back. After the call, he turned off the phone and put his hand back on her.
"What did you say?"
"I asked him to take his things back and told him to resign immediately and never run for council again, otherwise I would tell him everything he had done so he would never be able to run for council again. It was up to him whether he took the initiative or I said it."
"Are you happy?"
"I've never been so happy."
"Should we call Gustav again and give him a good scolding?"
"Come on, you and I are together today, how many more people do you want me to scold? Let me rest for a while, I rarely scold people."
His hand touched her skin, probing deeper into her body. He still smelled of the bitter, corrosive smell of disinfectant, and Li Wenjing felt like she was sinking down with him, becoming a corpse soaking in the dissection room. He asked her if she was happy, and she said no. He asked her why.
"I was lying," Li Wenjing said. "I'm half happy, half unhappy. You said you'd go old school, treat me to a date, take me out to dinner, and try to woo me. But all that's gone. It was so easy for you to win me over. I'm not happy."
"Don't worry, what I said won't change."
His hand gently stroked her cheek. "Want to go to Nairobi this weekend? Little Paris."
"You're confused. How can you go so far with so much work?"
"You should rest up. I can send Gustav's plane to pick you up, but..."
"What?"
When he heard about the private jet, Li Wenjing shook his hand and told him to tell the story quickly and stop keeping him in suspense.
"Gustav and the ambassador are holding a charity dinner in Nairobi. Do you want to go? They're all hypocritical, but any help counts. It would be embarrassing if I went alone without a female companion."
Li Wenjing nodded, "But you have to beg me."
"Ma princesse, I beg if you could accompany me?"
Li Wenjing finally smiled and agreed. To this day, she still wonders if she did the right thing, just as Gustav constantly blames her for hurting him. She can't choose between living numbly or dying in relief. Of course, from Wenjing's perspective, no matter what the situation, she always chooses to live, because as long as she's alive, there's hope. But she also knows that Gu Weiyi doesn't think the same way. She gave away part of herself to him, and it was too late to take it back, so she was no longer under her own control. His sadness and his happiness could deeply affect her. This was love. She had truly fallen in love with him.
