Hearing Chengzi's words, Jiang Jinxiu's eyes were filled with reluctance.
But she also knew that if she didn't leave and others found out, she would have no way to explain herself.
Gu Xichen also found it difficult to explain why she was here.
This is a very sensitive time, especially since this is a border area, and it's easy to be mistaken for a spy.
He will be implicated by her, which is not what she wants.
She stared at the man's handsome face and felt that he seemed even more good-looking now.
She had an urge to hide him away.
What she didn't know was that the man in front of her had the same thoughts as her.
Suddenly remembering something, Jiang Jinxiu took out oil paints from her spatial storage and started painting on the man.
Before long, the man's handsome face was covered up again with makeup, restoring the appearance that Jiang Jinxiu had just seen him earlier that day.
Jiang Jinxiu examined the man's face covered in paint and nodded with satisfaction.
Gu Xichen's eyes were full of doting affection as he let her do whatever she wanted.
Seeing the two interacting, Orange consciously turned her head to the side, refusing to look at them.
Jiang Jinxiu's eyes met Gu Xichen's unintentionally, and she found herself unconsciously captivated by his gaze.
Her cheeks were slightly flushed.
“Xi Chen…” Jiang Jinxiu murmured.
"Mmm, uh~"
His hot lips covered her soft lips.
That instantly shut her up, preventing her from saying anything more.
Jiang Jinxiu felt a ticklish sensation, but when she realized what was happening and tried to respond to the man, he had already left her lips.
Just a few seconds.
That's it?
This made her suspicious.
This man did it on purpose.
Gu Xichen suppressed all his emotions, the ripples in his eyes quickly receded, and he returned to calm, simply looking at her with a smile.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Compared to men, Jiang Jinxiu felt a little resentful.
She subconsciously bit her lower lip and slowly raised her hand to touch her lips.
She glared at him with a mixture of shyness and anger, her watery eyes possessing an irresistible charm.
Gu Xichen felt completely bewitched.
Jiang Jinxiu suddenly said, "So fast, let's do it again."
Then Gu Xichen felt a weight on his neck as the little woman's hand encircled him and pressed her soft lips against his.
The two were just about to go deeper...
"Waaah..."
The woman's cries for help on the ground instantly snapped the two out of their reverie, pulling them back to reality.
Seemingly remembering something, Jiang Jinxiu quickly pushed Gu Xichen away, not minding the heavy makeup on his face, and kissed him heavily on the cheek: "I'm leaving, they're in your care now. You must stay safe and sound."
After saying that, she quickly disappeared into the jungle, and Orange followed in her footsteps.
Gu Xichen frowned as he looked in the direction they disappeared.
He could clearly sense the direction she left in, and even knew that she had stopped not far away and then remained silent.
He curled his lips into a smile, gazing meaningfully in the direction where the little woman had disappeared, before using a coded signal to summon the army doctor.
The woman on the ground was still asleep, seemingly having a nightmare.
Curled up, trembling.
But that's not something Gu Xichen should care about.
After handing the woman over to the military doctor and explaining the situation, he began to make arrangements based on the information provided by Jiang Jinxiu.
Over the next few days, they fought a battle of wits with the human traffickers.
Jiang Jinxiu did not show herself again, but she continued to observe from the shadows.
They would provide Gu Xichen with relevant information at any time, and would also send Chengzi out to assist them from time to time.
Of course, all of this was done in secret.
Whenever human traffickers try to move to a new location, they can hear the roars of tigers along their escape route.
It caused widespread anxiety.
Only Gu Xichen remained calm and proceeded cautiously under pressure.
Because he heard a familiar voice in the tiger's roar.
This is none other than the cat that lives next to my wife.
It's surprising how similar its roar is to that of a tiger.
Gu Xichen stabilized the morale of the troops and ultimately successfully rescued more than fifty Chinese citizens who had been trafficked.
After seeing that Gu Xichen and the others had successfully rescued those people, Jiang Jinxiu decided to go back.
Before going back, she wrote a letter to Gu Xichen, asking Chengzi to act as a temporary courier, so that the man wouldn't worry about her.
On her return journey, Jiang Jinxiu was unaware that her younger brother in Beijing had also traveled south to find her.
However, they encountered some problems on their way south.
Of course, Jiang Jinxiu, who was far away in Yunnan Province, was unaware of all this.
Six days later, Jiang Jinxiu returned to Guangxi Province, travel-worn, but she did not immediately return to her hometown village.
Instead, she went directly to the hospital where her father-in-law worked.
Gu Dashan was still alone, lying quietly in the hospital ward.
Jiang Jinxiu sought out Nurse Chen, who was specifically assigned to help with the care, to learn about the situation.
Nurse Chen said he was still the same as before.
Jiang Jinxiu stood by the bed, looking at the man with graying temples. In his face, she saw the shadow of Gu Xichen.
She wondered if Gu Xichen would look like this when he got old.
She found a cup and a spoon, and fed Gu Dashan the spiritual spring water spoonful by spoonful.
Although some of it leaked out, thankfully some was also fed back in.
As she fed him, she murmured, "Father-in-law, I am Xichen's wife. Do you remember me? Open your mouth, drink more, and wake up soon. You've been lying here for so long, it's time to wake up. Mother-in-law and the others have been waiting for you for a long time. I heard that you used to protect Mother-in-law very much, and no one dared to bully her. But do you know? I heard that since you fell into bed and didn't wake up, many people have been bullying her..."
She talked on and on, without caring whether Gu Dashan could hear her.
In her past life, the daughter of one of her business partners also became a vegetable due to an accident.
In order to reach a cooperation agreement, she even went to learn about information related to people in a vegetative state.
She still remembers that there are three types of people in a vegetative state.
The first type is a persistent vegetative state, which means that the patient in this state is in a coma and unconscious.
The second type is a permanent vegetative state patient, which means someone who has been in a vegetative state for more than a year without any consciousness after treatment.
The third type is a special minimally conscious vegetative state, which means that the patient is conscious, but the consciousness is relatively weak. For example, they may cry or smile. Importantly, they can hear what others are saying.
If the first and second types are treated properly, they may develop into the third type, and may even wake up.
She had seen similar cases in the news, although at that time, most of the cases of people regaining consciousness were from abroad.
After all, it is undeniable that the level of medical care abroad is much better than that in China.
However, she now has the Spirit Spring Water at her disposal, and she hopes that it will be useful to her father-in-law, Gu Dashan.
She would try anything, no matter how difficult.
How will you know if it's possible if you don't try?
Jiang Jinxiu pretended to go to the boiler room to get a basin of hot water, but secretly mixed it with spiritual spring water.
On her way back, she was still thinking about asking Nurse Chen for help later.
After all, he was her father-in-law; it was inappropriate for her to wipe his body.
