Today was supposed to be a happy day for Xiao Baojun.
Since working with Xiao Weiguo in the business department, I can say that I'm thriving.
With his talent and diligence, he quickly established himself in the business department, further aided by Xiao Weiguo's encouragement. He is now the deputy section chief, in charge of business operations for most of the southern region.
During my last visit to Xiao Wei's home, I unexpectedly ran into my first love, Zhou Ruolan, and the flame of love that had been dormant for so long was rekindled.
After a few encounters, the two quickly returned to their previous state.
Now his status has changed; he is no longer the good-for-nothing poor boy he used to be.
This gave him the confidence to face Zhou Ruolan's family again.
We had agreed to go to Zhou Ruolan's house today to meet her parents, get their approval, and finalize our relationship as soon as possible.
Xiao Baojun even took a short leave in the afternoon and left the factory early.
Fortunately, I came out a little early and caught the scene of Zheng Qiang assassinating Zhou Ruolan.
He didn't think too much at the time. With no one in time to help, he leaped out and pushed Zhou Ruolan aside, but he was stabbed by the sharp knife himself.
It's truly a miracle that such a deep cut didn't damage his internal organs.
He only remembered that after a sharp, piercing pain, he grew weaker and weaker, and he thought he was going to die. At that moment, he was filled with regret.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a series of sharp pains came from his ribs, making him gradually realize that he was not dead.
I heard two familiar voices talking.
Slowly turning her head, the first thing she saw was Zhou Ruolan's face, as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water.
Then, on the other side were Xiao Weiguo and his lover Liu Ye.
Seeing Xiao Baojun turn his head on the bed, Zhou Ruolan was the first to rush over.
"Baojun, you're awake."
Only now did she feel completely at ease, her voice filled with surprise.
Xiao Weiguo walked up and greeted him with a smile.
"Brother Baojun, you're awake."
Where am I?
The luxurious hospital room seemed quite different from the hospital Xiao Baojun had in mind, which made him somewhat puzzled.
"This is a hospital! Do you know that? You've been unconscious for several hours. It scared me to death."
Zhou Ruolan's tears fell again, like a wronged child.
"Teacher Zhou, Brother Baojun is alright now, don't be sad."
Liu Ye offered a word of comfort to Zhou Ruolan.
At this moment, Xiao Baojun's consciousness became clearer and clearer. He wanted to get up and talk to the others, but after struggling a few times, he found that he had no strength at all.
After losing so much blood and undergoing surgery, his strength will need some time to recover.
"Brother Baojun, don't move. You need to rest for a few more days."
Xiao Weiguo quickly pressed down on his shoulder to stop him from moving.
"Mr. Xiao, thank you for your trouble."
Although they were brothers from the same village, Xiao Baojun knew how to behave appropriately. Given Xiao Weiguo's status, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to call him by his name anymore.
Hearing that his voice was a little hoarse, Zhou Ruolan carefully poured him a glass of water and slowly fed him a few sips with a small spoon.
"You lie down first, Brother Baojun, I'll go call the doctor."
After comforting Xiao Baojun, Xiao Weiguo got up and went to the on-call room of the ward doctor outside.
The doctor on duty was an elderly man in his fifties.
After carefully examining Xiao Baojun with his stethoscope, he placed his hand on Xiao Baojun's wrist and squinted to take his pulse.
Finally, he covered Xiao Baojun with the blanket again and told the others with a smile.
"The patient is doing very well and there is no danger. Just avoid strenuous activity to prevent the wound from reopening, and eat more foods that nourish qi and blood. I believe the patient will recover quickly."
Amid a string of thanks from the crowd, the doctor left the room.
With the doctor's assurance, everyone had even less to worry about now.
"Brother Baojun, I took it upon myself to not tell my family about your situation. You won't blame me, will you?"
Xiao Weiguo was afraid that his family would worry, so he didn't call them to tell them.
It was only at this point that he asked Xiao Baojun a question.
"Hey, it's all over now, why let them worry about it? It's fine, no need to tell them."
After drinking some water, Xiao Baojun seemed to have regained some of his strength, and his speech became much smoother.
Xiao Weiguo sat down next to him and held Xiao Baojun's hand.
"Brother Baojun, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened."
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Zhou Ruolan, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
Xiao Baojun almost lost his life for Zhou Ruolan, and he might think it was only right, but Xiao Weiguo couldn't let him waste such a good opportunity. Zhou Ruolan needed to understand.
It was unclear whether Xiao Baojun understood what he meant, but he smiled at him and said...
"Between us, saying thank you is too formal."
Zhou Ruolan was also a very intelligent person, so how could she not understand the meaning behind Xiao Weiguo's words?
She grasped Xiao Baojun's other hand, placed it on her chest, and said sincerely.
"Baojun, thank you for saving my life today. Once you're better, let's register our marriage. No matter whether my mom agrees or not, no one can stop us from being together."
She was saying this to Xiao Baojun, but also to Xiao Weiguo. Although Zhou Ruolan was just a young woman, she was not the kind of person who would forget kindness.
