Chapter 20 Late Return 20
Jiang Qian chuckled softly, and her phone vibrated twice. It was a message from Xu Nianbai.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and curved into a beautiful arc when she saw the news.
"Xu Nianbai asked us to go directly there."
Jiang Qian looked up and glanced at her, threw her phone into her bag, and spoke softly.
Fu Yin nodded, lifted the quilt, got out of bed and packed his things, but his head still hurt badly.
Seeing her stumbling, Jiang Qian reached out to hold her arm and asked nervously, "Are you sure you can do it?"
Fu Yin forced a chuckle and waved his hand: "I'm really fine, I just got up too fast."
Jiang Qian sighed deeply, and seeing her like this, she couldn't help but feel distressed: "Are you sure you want to go see Lin Xu with this face?"
Hearing this, Fu Yin subconsciously reached out and touched her cheek. She felt a tingling sensation and her body trembled slightly.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Let's do this for now. I'll explain it when we get there."
It was already evening when we arrived at the hospital. The setting sun cast a golden glow, filtering through the glass windows and casting mottled shadows on the ward.
Fu Yin stood outside the ward door, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out and knocked on the door.
A man's deep voice came from the ward, sounding very weak.
Fu Yin's heart tightened and he pushed the door open. The moment he saw Lin Xu's pale face, his eyes instantly filled with tears, his nose felt sore and he took a deep breath.
She walked slowly to the bed with heavy steps, unable to control her tears.
Lin Xu's eyes were deep as he looked at Fu Yin who was walking towards him, and he quickly noticed that her flushed cheeks had faint scratches.
His brows furrowed and his fists clenched unconsciously.
"Brother..." Fu Yin's voice choked, and he sat on the edge of the bed, unable to speak.
Lin Xu reached out and touched her cheek, his movements cautious, his knuckles lightly brushing against her delicate skin, and said in a deep voice: "Does it hurt?"
Fu Yin shook his head slightly, holding the man's palm and placing it on his cheek: "What about you?"
"I'm more afraid that you'll be hurt." Lin Xu smiled gently and wanted to get up to take a closer look but he didn't have the strength.
The anesthesia hadn't fully worn off yet, and every wound on my body felt like it was torn open and was causing a slight stinging pain.
Fu Yin noticed that he wanted to get up and helped him adjust the bed.
"I'm sorry, the anesthesia hasn't worn off yet, and I don't have the strength to hold you tight."
He didn't even have the strength to hold her fingertips tightly, and Lin Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Tears suddenly fell, like pearls with broken strings, sliding into Lin Xu's palm, warm and moist.
"Yinyin, if you cry again you'll turn into a little cat."
"Stop crying, okay?"
Staring at her red eyes, he instantly felt as if his heart was being gripped by an invisible hand, and he gently wiped them with his thumb.
"Come closer, let me see."
Lin Xu's voice was hoarse and his eyes were dark.
Fu Yin leaned forward slightly, his nose almost touching his thin lips.
A tear fell on his face, and the man's thick palm covered her head and stroked it gently.
"I thought this would protect you."
Lin Xu stared at her cheeks, and those marks were like icicles piercing deep into his heart.
"What?" Fu Yin frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
Lin Xu was still stroking her head, as if to comfort her, and replied guiltily: "I will never leave you again."
Five years ago, when he found out that someone liked him, his first reaction was panic.
He was afraid that he would kill Fu Yin just like he killed Lin Pianpian seven years ago, so he ran away and reached an agreement with Xu Ning to take charge of the branch abroad. If it weren't for the marriage, he might not be able to return to China.
It’s not that he doesn’t love Fu Yin or miss her.
On the contrary, he was almost going crazy thinking about it for five years.
But he didn't dare to send her a message or contact her. Every year he would secretly return to China several times to see her.
But he just watched from afar. He kept his promise and did not appear in front of her, but he was afraid that she would really forget him.
He felt like a madman, his possessiveness eroding his sanity bit by bit.
When he saw Fu Yin again, he knew he was defeated.
How could he resist not getting closer?
He knew that this incident was not an accident. Everything was planned by Xu Ning behind the scenes. In Xu Ning's eyes, he was just a pawn.
He no longer cared about his own life or death, but Fu Yin was the person he cared about the most.
If there was no Fu Yin, there would be no him today.
Lin Xu slowly raised his hand and gently stroked her back, his voice softening: "I won't let her hurt you in the future."
Fu Yin was slightly startled. She put her arms around his waist and moved closer to him.
"I'm glad you're okay."
"Have you applied the medicine?"
"Qianqian has already wiped it for me. It will be fine in a few days."
Her voice was very soft, and it gradually made him feel at ease when it fell into his ears.
"But you, with so many wounds on your body..."
"The man has been caught by the police and confessed immediately, saying it was a random killing."
Fu Yin's tone became nervous. She wanted to say that this matter was not that simple, and that Xu Ning was behind it.
"I know. I will investigate thoroughly and find evidence."
Lin Xu's eyes turned cold, and he would not give Xu Ning any more room for maneuver.
No matter how excessive Xu Ning had been in the past, it was always to warn him. This time, she was intentionally hurting others.
The law will not tolerate her, and he will definitely get complete evidence.
Fu Yin: "I don't want you to get hurt again."
She didn't have the courage to face another loss.
Lin Xu pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Fu Yin held him for a long time, and the sobbing stopped.
Jiang Qian, who was peeping outside, was watching with great interest. Xu Nianbai, who was standing beside her, immediately grabbed her by the back of the neck and said, "I'm tired of you. I've helped you so much, don't you have to repay me?"
"We are so close, why are you being so polite?"
Jiang Qian's eyes rolled, she patted his shoulder and pushed him aside.
Xu Nianbai snorted coldly and pulled her away by the wrist.
The ward was silent for a long time, and Fu Yin's face gradually became warm as he listened to the man's heartbeat.
When she raised her head, her forehead hit Lin Xu's lips, and her eyes widened.
She stiffened slightly and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
Lin Xu held the back of her neck with his warm palm, raised his lips slightly and kissed her forehead.
Fu Yin remained in that position, visibly stunned, and quickly pulled herself out of his arms.
After standing up straight, Fu Yin touched his nose and said, "Are you feeling better? I remembered that I still have some work to finish today, so I should go back soon."
Fu Yin cleared his throat and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Why don't you stay here with me for a while?"
Lin Xu frowned, his face instantly darkened, and he asked in a hurried voice.
Fu Yin thought for half a second and coughed lightly: "Because the press release for my interview is not yet completed, and Xu Muzhou also sent me a message just now."
"Are you on good terms with Xu Muzhou?" Lin Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly.
His fingertips tightened, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.
The words were chilling. Fu Yinding stood there, thinking carefully about what he said, and replied lightly, "He can be considered my apprentice."
"You two seem to be very close." His throat was hoarse, and the words were squeezed out from between his teeth. The ending tone was slightly rising and had a sour taste.
Fu Yin's lips curled up inadvertently, and he responded proudly: "We do have a good relationship, and I like him very much. He works seriously..."
"When will the work here end?"
Lin Xu felt inexplicably irritated and interrupted Fu Yin who was about to continue speaking.
Fu Yin bent over and leaned closer: "Brother, are you jealous?"
Lin Xu turned his face away, his ears turning red.
Fu Yin saw through his thoughts at a glance and chuckled: "But didn't brother say before that I was just your sister?"
"From now on you will just be my brother."
Lin Xu's Adam's apple rolled twice, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something. He opened his lips slightly and wanted to speak, but the words did not come out.
This is good, it can also protect her.
His face was terrifyingly calm, his eyes gradually dimmed, and his heart gradually fell.
Fu Yin's eyes were shining with anticipation, wanting to hear what he would say, but he waited for a long time but received no response.
"Um."
After a long while, he responded in a very soft voice.
Fu Yin took a deep breath and clenched his hands at his sides.
Good, very good.
I thought that after this time he would at least understand.
That's all.
"Okay, then we're brother and sister."
"Brother, you have a good rest. I'm leaving first."
Fu Yin gritted his teeth and said this, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Lin Xu subconsciously reached out to grab her arm, but just as he was about to reach her arm, Fu Yin raised her foot and left, leaving his hand hanging in the air.
Fu Yin came out of the ward, slammed the door shut angrily, and sat down on the bench, trying to calm down.
"Yin Yin, why did you come out so soon?"
Jiang Qian and Xu Nianbai went to buy some fruits and came back. As soon as they walked into the ward, they saw Fu Yin sitting alone on the bench by the door.
"I'm a puppy if I ignore Lin Xu again."
"He's already well. He doesn't deserve any of this. I'll take it away."
Fu Yin chuckled twice, snatched the fruit from the two men's hands and disappeared into the corridor.
Jiang Qian stood there in a daze, then turned her attention to Xu Nianbai, grabbing his ear and demanding, "What did you do, brother?"
"Baby, I swear that from today on he is not my brother anymore. Can you let me go first?" Xu Nianbai cried out in pain.
Jiang Qian sneered: "Weren't you very arrogant just now?"
Xu Nianbai's face was full of grievance: "I wanted to buy you some delicious food, but your sisters snatched it all away..."
"Who allowed you to say Yin Yin? Get out of the way. I'm going to find Yin Yin."
Jiang Qian let go of Xu Nianbai and chased after him in high heels.
Xu Nianbai rubbed his ears, opened the door and entered the ward.
He walked over with long, unhurried steps and asked lazily, "Brother, what did you do? Fu Yin seems quite angry."
Lin Xu frowned and began to worry: "Is she angry?"
"It's all your fault. Qianqian hates me. If you did something wrong, apologize immediately. It's so awkward for a grown man like that."
"You were like this five years ago. I don't know what you were thinking."
"You really don't like Fu Yin?"
Xu Nianbai clicked his tongue twice, crossed his legs and sat on the chair next to him, his eyes fixed on Lin Xu.
He reached out and patted the man's shoulder: "But the wound on your body... looks really scary. It's almost cost you your life, right?"
Lin Xu pushed his hand away and said softly, "It doesn't hurt. It's nothing serious."
"Why do you look like that if it doesn't hurt? Uncle Lin said he wants to transfer you back to Beijing. What do you think?"
The author has something to say:
[Come on][Come on][Come on] If you like it, please click to collect it. I couldn't help crying when I wrote this picture. Ah Xu also has a hard life. Yin Yin doesn't know how much he has been through.
Small Theater:
Fu Yin: Okay, okay, brother and sister, right? I'll let you be brother and sister! I'll take away all your food and you'll starve to death.
Lin Xu: It’s not baby, please listen to my explanation. I thought you liked to be called that (qwq)
Jiang Qian: Look at what your brother has done, I’m going to beat you to death!
Xu Nianbai: I'm the one taking the blame for your relationship, am I part of your play? (My life is miserable), before entering: I swear I'm not your brother anymore, let's break up. After entering: Brother!
