Chapter 143 I finally understand what it means to shoot oneself in the foot
Xu Jialan just hit the last key and clicked send.
Then she looked up, immediately put down the computer on her lap, and stood up.
Shen Xichuan saw her movements and stopped.
Xu Jialan walked quickly to his side, held his arm, and frowned.
"Why are you here? Does the wound hurt?"
Shen Xichuan had suffered many injuries during missions before. Although not as serious as this time, it was not light either.
He asked Captain Fan to keep it a secret so that the Shen family wouldn't know.
During the period of recuperation, he was the captain, so naturally he would not tell others about things like applying medicine on his body.
No matter how painful it was, he gritted his teeth and endured it all by himself.
How can it compare to now?
Not only will someone carefully apply medicine on his body, but they will also always worry about whether he is in pain.
Shen Xichuan looked at her with a pair of black eyes, and his eyebrows raised a beautiful arc.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt much."
I wanted to say it hurt.
But I was afraid that she would worry.
Xu Jialan glanced at him and said nothing.
She wanted to help him go back next door.
But after thinking about it, I was afraid that this process would put a burden on the wound.
"Come on, slow down."
She helped him walk towards the bed not far away.
She had slept here for the past few days.
As soon as Shen Xichuan lay down, he smelled the distinct smell of disinfectant on the quilt, as well as her unique light fragrance.
Then I knew she had slept here before.
After Xu Jialan covered him with a blanket, he left the ward.
He came back after a while.
She was followed by several bodyguards.
They moved all the equipment from next door over here.
Xu Jialan's eyebrows were cold, his long eyelashes slightly lowered, and he carefully connected all the instruments.
The bodyguard said hello to the two men and left.
Shen Xichuan kept tilting his head, looking at Xu Jialan’s profile.
"Wife?"
Xu Jialan didn't say anything.
Shen Xichuan paused, then slowly stretched his hand out from under the quilt.
He was about to grab her clothes.
"Don't you want your hands anymore?"
Shen Xichuan froze and didn’t dare to move.
Xu Jialan looked at him helplessly.
Then he placed his hands on the quilt.
Just now, in addition to calling the bodyguard to bring the equipment, she also went to the nurse to ask for some medicine.
During this period, Shen Xichuan also needs to inject some medicines.
Shen Xichuan watched Xu Jialan holding the syringe skillfully, "..."
Xu Jialan lowered his eyes, straightened his hand, and put on a tourniquet.
"Don't move."
Shen Xichuan saw the silver light: “…”
After a few seconds, the tourniquet released.
Xu Jialan put some tape on him, adjusted the flow rate, and then put his hand back into the quilt.
Shen Xichuan didn't feel any pain.
Just my arms are a little cold.
He thought...
After Xu Jialan gave him the injection, he was about to turn around.
Shen Xichuan thought she was going to leave, and immediately said, “Wife, where are you going?”
Xu Jialan turned around and said helplessly, "I won't leave."
"I'll just take a shower here and be done soon."
Shen Xichuan looked at her steadily for a few seconds, “Okay.”
Xu Jialan took some clean clothes and went into the bathroom.
After a while, the sound of dripping water was heard.
“…”
Shen Xichuan finally understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
There is a sleeping pill in the medicine.
Before Xu Jialan finished taking a shower, Shen Xichuan couldn't hold on and fell asleep.
After Xu Jialan came out, he saw that his eyes were closed and his steps became much lighter.
She walked over to the bed, leaving only a faint warm light.
Then he carefully removed the needle from the back of Shen Xichuan's hand.
She went out and asked someone for a quilt to spread on the sofa.
Fortunately, this is a high-end ward and the sofa is much larger than ordinary sofas.
It was just right for Xu Jialan to sleep on it alone.
It’s not that there are no accompanying rooms.
She just didn’t want to be too far away from Shen Xichuan.
After lying down, she looked at the man with his eyes closed on the hospital bed, curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and then closed her eyes.
…
The next few days.
Ever since Shen Xichuan woke up that day and saw Xu Jialan sleeping on the sofa.
He immediately asked someone to replace the bed with one that was large enough for two people.
After receiving the news, Mrs. Shen called him and scolded him, "Can't you just be patient? He just came back from the brink of death, and now you want to torment him like this, and even torment Lan Lan, you really..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Xichuan pinched his eyebrows, “Mom, what are you thinking about?”
"What else can I think?"
Shen Xichuan: “…”
He briefly explained what he saw when he woke up in the morning.
Mrs. Shen: “…”
After a long while, she coughed lightly and said, "Oh, so, then you can change."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Shen Xichuan: “…”
When Xu Jialan woke up, he found that his bed had been changed.
Look at the bed that is big enough for three people.
She fell silent for a moment.
Shen Xichuan looked at her, “In this way, you won’t have to sleep on the sofa later.”
Xu Jialan: “…”
She was somewhat convinced by the man's action.
"Actually, the sofa is pretty comfortable to sleep on."
It should be imported.
It feels just as good as sleeping on a bed.
“No.” Shen Xichuan said, “It’s too cold now, and sleeping on the sofa will easily catch a cold.”
Xu Jialan was silent.
Did he forget that there is such a thing as air conditioning?
Looking at those deep black eyes, Xu Jialan paused for a few seconds and compromised, "Okay, I won't sleep on the sofa."
Shen Xichuan's eyebrows curved, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, "So good."
Xu Jialan checked his body as usual.
Shen Xichuan didn’t pay attention for a moment.
A yellow object fell from my clothes onto the bed.
The two looked over.
After seeing what it was.
Xu Jialan looked calm as he put the thing back into the pocket of his hospital gown.
Then continue checking.
Shen Xichuan’s smile faded slightly, his eyes deep.
After the examination and medication.
He just spoke, "It was just an accident."
Hearing this, Xu Jialan looked up at him, "What?"
Shen Xichuan lowered his eyelashes, looked at the position of his pocket, and said, “I will keep this amulet well in the future and will not let it fall out again.”
Because this is not an ordinary amulet.
He must keep it safe.
Xu Jialan was stunned for a few seconds, "It doesn't matter if it falls off, I can..."
I'll ask you for another one.
The words haven't been finished yet.
Shen Xichuan interrupted her, “No.”
He looked at her seriously, and said every word seriously, "Only this time."
This is the only time.
He felt heartbroken.
Can't bear to see her get hurt.
Not even for him.
Xu Jialan chuckled when he heard this, "Okay, only this time."
She also hopes that he will be safe and sound in the future.
If nothing happens, it's naturally good.
“Knock knock—”
There was a knock on the door.
The two looked over.
The bodyguard walked in and said respectfully, "Second Madam, someone wants to see the Second Young Master."
Xu Jialan asked, "Did the other party say who it was?"
"Yes," the bodyguard replied, "They said it was a colleague of the Second Young Master."
That's why he rashly came to disturb the two of them.
Who doesn't know that Shen Xichuan joined the fire department.
Isn't his colleague...
Moreover, there is another person who seems to be in a high position.
It is estimated to be Shen Xichuan’s leader.
Hearing this, Shen Xichuan guessed who the visitor was.
He said, "Let them in."
The bodyguard did not respond immediately, but looked at Xu Jialan.
Shen Xichuan also looked over, “Is it okay, wife?”
Xu Jialan was helpless, "Okay, let them in."
"yes."
The bodyguard responded and left.
As expected, I guessed right, the second young master is a henpecked husband.
