Shen Yanli lowered his eyes, his gaze focused on the scratches on her face, raised his hand to help her gently hold her in his arms, and then explained in a low and gentle voice.
"I asked the village chief to find two villagers to help lead the way. They carried you here through the small path. Just walk through the blocked road."
Shen Yanli's body was very warm, just like a steaming stove. They were the only two people left in the ward, and Zhou Yunwan had nothing to worry about, so she snuggled into his arms dependently.
Shen Yanli hugged her and stretched out his hand to help her pull the military coat to her chest to ensure that the cold air would not invade her body.
Zhou Yunwan felt his refreshing and pleasant scent all around her. She held his hand and interlocked their fingers. She said hesitantly, "Then why did you come to pick me up so soon? When I saw you, I thought I was hallucinating."
She felt severe pain in her lower back, and her whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cave. Her consciousness gradually faded away, and for a moment she was almost in despair.
But before her consciousness completely faded, she saw Shen Yanli running towards her in the dark snow and ice. How could she not suspect that it was an illusion before she fainted?
But fortunately, all this was not her illusion, he really ran towards her like a ray of light.
When she said this, her voice trembled slightly, as if she was still frightened by the thrilling experience she had experienced not long ago.
...
...
Shen Yanli tightened his grip on her, and he left a light kiss on her forehead, comforting her softly, "It's all right now."
Over and over again, he patiently soothed her restless emotions, and only when she calmed down from her anxiety did he slowly explain why he was there.
The snow had been falling heavily these past two days, and communications in various places had been cut off. He was afraid of any accidents, so he chose to come and pick her up early.
When he arrived in the county town and learned that the road to the countryside was blocked, he also used this method to find two local people to take him safely to Chenjiagou.
He went to the village chief's house first, but was told that she had left with the crew to film in the mountains more than ten kilometers away. The village chief asked him to stay at his house and wait patiently.
But watching the snow getting heavier outside, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart for some reason. How could he stay calm without seeing her with his own eyes and confirming her safety?
So he went to pick her up resolutely, regardless of the village chief's attempts to keep her.
Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing he went.
otherwise……
When he thought of the consequence, an indescribable heartache surged in his throat, blocking him so much that he felt extremely uncomfortable. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, finally hiding the intense pain.
But his sudden rapid breathing still revealed his current restlessness.
Zhou Yunwan understood his feelings. Anyone would feel extremely panicked when the one they loved was hurt. If he was the one hurt now, she would also feel unbearable heartache.
She raised her head and kissed his chin, her slender white fingertips caressing his cheek, she stared into his dark eyes, curled her lips, and smiled from the bottom of her heart: “Chen Yanli, it’s great to have you.”
Her smile is like the flowers in spring, bright and generous, touching the heart.
Chen Yanli was infected by her smile. He pursed his thin lips and raised them up. He lowered his head and pressed his lips against her soft lips, just lightly, without any tenderness, but more heart-moving than ever before.
Zhou Yunwan's heart was pounding. She chased him and wanted to continue kissing him, but she used a little force on her waist and hissed softly in pain: "It hurts."
Hearing this, Shen Yanli immediately tensed up and held her waist on both sides with his big hands to prevent her from pulling on the wound again.
After a long while, she finally recovered. She looked up and met Shen Yanli's eyes again. A hint of helplessness flashed across his dark eyes: "Just bear with it for now."
As for what to endure, Zhou Yunwan understood.
Her fair face was flushed with red. She wanted to, but she was powerless. However, explanation and rebuttal seemed a bit redundant in this situation. She could only stammer and reply: "I know."
“So good.” Shen Yanli raised his eyebrows and chuckled, then patted her head as if rewarding her.
As the two were talking, someone knocked on the door of the ward from outside.
Shen Yanli came down from the sickbed, walked over and opened the door, and when he saw the person behind the door, his face instantly turned cold.
Seeing no movement, Zhou Yunwan poked her head out and asked curiously, "Who's here?"
Cheng Jinche faced Shen Yanli's terrifying gaze and gritted his teeth and raised his voice to reply, "Comrade Zhou, it's me."
Hearing the voice, Zhou Yunwan immediately guessed the other party's identity. There were only a few people who could come to visit her. Now that Cheng Jinche was here, she could just ask in detail about Zhao Tong's situation.
Zhao Tong ran in the swamp for so long, and I don’t know if he suffered frostbite or something.
Thinking of this, her voice became more polite and courteous: "Director Cheng? Come in and sit down."
Zhou Yunwan had already spoken, so Shen Yanli couldn't stop him from entering. He stepped aside and entered the ward first.
Zhou Yunwan noticed the unhappy expression on his face and was about to ask him what was wrong and ask him to try to restrain himself. When she looked up inadvertently, she saw Gao Menglan following behind Cheng Jinche.
Only then did she realize that Shen Yanli’s indifference was not towards Cheng Jinche, but towards Gao Menglan behind him.
Just now, she was unable to notice the two tall figures of Shen Yanli and Cheng Jinche blocking the way, but now that she noticed it, the smile on her face disappeared.
She believed that no one would have a good face when seeing the murderer who injured them.
Gao Menglan noticed Zhou Yunwan's gaze, and a trace of panic and helplessness flashed across her face. She wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but as soon as she took a step, she remembered what Cheng Jinche had said to her before he came over.
She must take responsibility for the mistakes she made, otherwise Cheng Jinche will never work with her again.
Gao Menglan gritted her teeth, struggled internally for a few moments, and took the initiative to step forward and placed the gifts she had bought for visiting the patient and for apology on the table beside her.
"Comrade Zhou Yunwan, I sincerely apologize to you. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that day. I just wanted to scare you, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this..."
She didn't expect there would be a swamp underneath, nor did she expect Zhao Tong and Zhou Yunwan to fall down...
She really didn't expect it, otherwise she wouldn't...
As she thought about this, she heard Zhou Yunwan sneer, "Are you trying to say that you were careless? And want me to forgive you?"
Gao Menglan bit her lip when her thoughts were exposed. She really thought so.
"Yes, I was wrong in this matter. I shouldn't have scared you. Comrade Zhou, can you forgive me?"
After saying that, Gao Menglan first glanced at Cheng Jinche beside her, and then looked at the sick Zhou Yunwan with expectation.
Zhou Yunwan saw all her actions and a sneer appeared in her eyes. She didn't know that she was wrong at all. She was obviously afraid that this incident would become a stain on her and affect her future work and career.
While anxiously waiting for a response, Gao Menglan couldn't help feeling a little anxious and repeated her apology again.
After a brief silence, Zhou Yunwan slowly opened her lips and said, "I don't accept your apology."
