At the hospital payment window.
Meng Xunzhou was standing in line with a list in hand when Xu Qiang ran in from the hospital entrance. "Boss, how is Tiejun?"
"The doctor said it will take a few more months to recover." Meng Xunzhou handed the list into the window.
Xu Qiang frowned, "Then he won't be able to attend the special training next month? Tiejun has been looking forward to this special training for a long time."
"There's nothing we can do about it. If his leg isn't healed, I'm afraid he won't be able to wear this military uniform anymore, let alone special training."
After Meng Xunzhou finished speaking, Xu Qiang fell silent.
"Okay, I'll take you to see him. You chat with him, maybe he'll feel better."
"OK."
Before reaching Tiejun's ward, Xu Qiang suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, so he stuffed the fruit basket in his hand into Meng Xunzhou's hand and said hurriedly, "Boss, help me get it, I'll be back soon."
...
...
Meng Xunzhou looked at Xu Qiang's back as he ran away and smiled helplessly.
He turned around and was about to continue walking forward, but he seemed to see a familiar figure in his peripheral vision.
He stopped, took a half step back, and looked towards the other end of the corridor.
"Shishi?"
He subconsciously walked towards Song Shishi.
"Boss, why are you here too? You want to..."
"You go see Tiejun first, I have something else to do."
Xu Qiang, who had just come out of the toilet, looked down at the fruit basket in his hand, a little confused, before he finished speaking.
He turned and shouted to Meng Xunzhou, "No, Boss, where are you going?"
Because Meng Xunzhou's figure blocked his view, Xu Qiang did not see Song Shishi and Xu Li.
Seeing that Meng Xunzhou did not answer but just raised his hand and waved at him, he sighed, turned and walked towards Tiejun's ward.
Meng Xunzhou's eyes were fixed on the figure at the door of the operating room.
When he got closer, he realized that there was something unusual about the conditions of Song Shishi and Xu Li.
Song Shishi kept staring at her hands. Her hands were clenched together, but they were trembling slightly.
Xu Li slumped on the ground at the door of the operating room.
The two of them were completely unaware of Meng Xunzhou's approach.
Meng Xunzhou sat down silently beside Song Shishi. Feeling her helplessness and hesitation, he held her trembling hands with his big hands.
Song Shishi was startled by his sudden movement and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but when she met Meng Xunzhou's eyes, she stopped.
"What happened? Why are your hands so cold?"
Perhaps it was because Meng Xunzhou's hands were too warm, or perhaps it was because his voice was too gentle, but at this moment, Song Shishi burst into tears.
Endless grievances came flooding in.
“Woo woo…”
She leaned on Meng Xunzhou's shoulder and cried like a child.
Meng Xunzhou's body was stiff. He raised his other hand, wanting to pat her back and comfort her, but he hesitated and ultimately did not do so.
She cried for a long time before she calmed down a little.
Realizing that she was too close to Meng Xunzhou and her actions were too ambiguous, she suddenly stepped back and pulled her hand back.
"That..." Her eyes fell on Meng Xunzhou's shoulder, which was wet, and a blush quietly appeared on the tip of her ears.
"I'm sorry, I..."
I wanted to explain, but I didn't know what to say.
Meng Xunzhou cleared his throat and said softly: "It's okay, but it's you and Xu Li, what's wrong?"
As he spoke, Meng Xunzhou's gaze fell on the closed operating room door again, "Is there anyone inside?"
Song Shishi nodded and recounted what happened today.
Meng Xunzhou's eyes darkened, "Have those two been caught?"
"I don't know. When we rushed to the hospital, Captain Chen had already led his men to chase them."
The last time Zhou Yuan was stabbed by An Jinsheng, she didn't feel so helpless.
She could even calmly analyze what would be best for her at the time.
But today, when Shi Tou was lying in her arms, covered in blood, she was completely stunned.
At that time, I had only one thought in my mind: "I can't let the stone disappear like this."
At this time, there was a slight noise from the door of the operating room. Xu Li seemed to wake up suddenly and got up from the ground.
The door of the operating room was pushed open from the inside.
The doctor walked out of the door wearing a mask, looked at them and asked, "Excuse me, who is the patient's family member?"
Song Shishi then remembered that they came in a hurry and had not yet sent anyone to notify Carpenter Zhao.
"Doctor, we are his friends. His family hasn't arrived yet. Just tell us if you have any questions."
Meng Xunzhou took the initiative to communicate with the doctor.
"The patient is out of danger now, but he still needs to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time. You go and pay the fee first."
"Yes, thank you."
After saying that, Meng Xunzhou turned around and prepared to leave.
Song Shishi grabbed him in time and said, "He was injured because of Xu Li and me. I should pay for it."
"You don't have to make it so clear with me." Meng Xunzhou said helplessly.
"I know, but this time is different, between him and Xu Li..." As she said this, she looked at Xu Li who had been sticking her head towards the operating room door, and she didn't continue with the rest of the words.
Because some things still depend on themselves.
She could only serve as Xu Li's family member and give her support and dependence behind her.
"Then I'll go with you."
"good."
Meng Xunzhou followed Song Shishi and walked away.
Song Shishi kept walking with her head down, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"careful!"
She was suddenly pulled into Meng Xunzhou's arms. When she came to her senses, she looked up at Meng Xunzhou with wide eyes.
Isn't he... a little too bold?
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
At this time, a middle-aged man ran past them. The man seemed to realize that he almost bumped into someone. He apologized repeatedly but did not stop.
After the man passed away, Meng Xunzhou let her go and asked her if she was okay.
Song Shishi was embarrassed by her wild thoughts just now.
However, Meng Xunzhou did not find out.
She took a step back and shook her head, "It's okay."
…
On the other side, Shi Tou was pushed out of the operating room by the nurse.
Because he just had surgery, Shitou is still in a coma.
In the ward, Xu Li was the only one guarding.
The two old educated youth who had helped to send Shitou to the hospital left after Shitou was pushed into the operating room.
Looking at the stone in front of him with dry lips and pale face, the tears that had stopped flowing out again.
"Why are you so stupid?"
"Even if they catch me, the worst that can happen is that I will marry someone I don't like. Why would you go up and fight them?"
"What should I do if anything happens to you?"
After saying that, Xu Li lay on the stone bed and cried even harder.
"Lili?"
Xu Li, who was immersed in sadness, suddenly heard Xu Qiang's voice. She stopped crying and turned around to look.
Xu Qiang was standing at the door of the ward, looking at her with a shocked expression.
"Lili, why are you here?"
Xu Li stood up, rushed over and hugged Xu Qiang's waist, crying and saying, "Brother, in order to force me to go back this time, Auntie hired someone to arrest me. In order to protect me, Brother Shitou was stabbed by the people hired by Auntie."
When Xu Qiang heard this, his brows twisted into a knot.
It seems that he shouldn't have cared about family ties last time, otherwise the current situation wouldn't have happened.
