Chapter 131 He went back on his word.
The two siblings from the Qin family rushed off with doctors, nurses, and stretchers.
Si Jingxu knew that with her personality, she would never say whether she liked it or not, or whether she agreed or not, when there were many people around.
He pulled Yan Buyu's hand hard, groaned, and said with great difficulty, "Buyu, will you be my girlfriend?"
"I must have aggravated the wound just now," Yan Buyu panicked. "Okay, okay, I promise you, don't move, don't move, it will be troublesome to cause secondary damage."
Si Jingxu heard what he wanted, breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and said weakly, "Don't renege on your promise, I know where you live."
After a brief examination, the medical staff immobilized his ankle and instructed others to lift him onto a stretcher.
Si Jingxu called out but remained silent.
She walked over, and something was shoved into her hand.
Looking down, I saw the glass bottle containing the lucky grass.
She couldn't explain how she felt.
My mind is in turmoil, and my heart is even more so.
She followed Si Jingxu into the ambulance. He lay there with his eyes closed, his lips still pale.
He didn't open his eyes once the whole way, nor did he say a single word to her.
When they arrived at the town's hospital, Zhou Ze was already waiting.
Si Jingxu was immediately wheeled into the operating room.
Yan Buyu sat outside, with Qin Xing and Qin Yue keeping her company.
Before long, the town mayor and deputy mayor arrived with a group of leaders.
Seeing this, Zhou Ze immediately blocked the person outside.
He remained silent, head bowed, staring at the glass bottle in his hand.
She put her shoe on the ground when she bent down to tie it.
As the boulder rolled down, Si Jingxu pushed her aside and picked up the bottle.
From their previous conversations, she could sense that Si Jingxu didn't believe in such things at all.
Even in that critical moment, he still picked up the bottle.
He gripped the glass bottle tightly without saying a word, occasionally glancing up at the operating room door.
One hour.
Two hours.
Yan Buyu couldn't sit still any longer; his pale face kept flashing before her eyes.
Pessimistic people tend to think of the worst possible outcome.
He must have been seriously injured; the rock was so big, and he fell so fast.
It's alright if it hits your foot, but who knows what might happen if it hits your back?
He has difficulty speaking; it's possible he's injured his internal organs.
"Buyu, have some water. You look terrible." Qin Yue brought over a glass of water, extremely worried. "He should be alright. I checked his pulse when he was on the stretcher, and there were no internal injuries."
Yan Buyu slowly turned her head, "Really?"
Qin Yue nodded firmly, "Really, believe me, it's just an external injury, it will heal properly later."
"But why haven't you come out for so long?"
Qin Yue whispered, "Your boyfriend is a very powerful person. If his foot injury isn't treated properly and he becomes crippled, our town will be finished!"
Zhou Ze dismissed the person and brought over some food. "Miss Yan, please eat something first. If President Si knew you were hungry, he would be even more worried."
“I don’t want you to worry,” Yan Buyu said in a hoarse voice, “but I really don’t have an appetite right now. You guys go and eat first, we might need you later.”
He was lying inside to save her; she had no appetite to eat outside.
Zhou Ze distributed the items to Qin Xing and Qin Yue, then went out to make a phone call.
The time spent waiting outside the operating room is the most agonizing moment.
It felt like every second was ticking on my heart.
He remained silent, eyes closed, forehead pressed against the wall, his heart pounding with panic.
A terrifying thought suddenly popped into her head.
In her previous life, she died on July 17th.
She was reborn, but she still couldn't escape the fate of dying on July 17th.
But Si Jingxu shielded her from it.
So... could it be...?
Yan Buyu, who was having some difficulty breathing, suddenly raised his head and took a few deep breaths.
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not!
On the fourth deep breath, the operating room door opened.
Doctors and nurses wheeled Si Jingxu out.
His face wasn't covered with a white sheet, and the doctor didn't bow his head to apologize.
Yan Buyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did I realize that my legs were so weak that I had to lean against the wall.
"How is he?" she asked.
"No internal organs were injured, but there was a fracture in the ankle and a fracture in the right scapula. Avoid strenuous exercise and rest well."
He closed his eyes without saying a word, let out a long sigh, and thanked God.
Because of the anesthesia, Si Jingxu will have to wait a while before waking up.
Taking advantage of this time, Yan Buyu made a phone call to Shen Yanzhou.
"Silence."
"Big brother." The moment Yan Buyu heard his older brother's voice, he couldn't hold back anymore and cried so hard that he couldn't utter a single coherent sentence.
"Don't cry," Shen Yanzhou coaxed softly. "I already know. Yunqi and I are on our way, and we'll be there soon."
Shen Yunqi took the phone. "Don't be afraid, Bu Yu. We have an ambulance and doctors with us. We'll take him straight back to Suzhou. The medical care here is better than in the town, so it won't be a problem."
The words of her two older brothers were like a reassuring pill, and she calmed down a lot. She found a place to wash her face and wanted to go to the ward to see Si Jingxu.
Si Jingxu woke up, and Zhou Ze whispered a report to him, "You haven't told your family about your injury yet. President Shen and Young President Shen are coming with people. Do you want to tell your family?"
"Shut up," Si Jingxu said irritably. "It's no big deal, what's there to talk about?"
"Okay, the doctor said your injury isn't serious, you just need to rest," Zhou Ze continued.
"Where is she? Is she alright?" Si Jingxu looked towards the door. "She's not watching over me?"
Zhou Ze wanted to laugh, but his boss was sick, so he couldn't.
“Miss Yan wasn’t injured. She’s been watching over you outside the operating room the whole time. She hasn’t had a drop of water or any food. The doctor just said you were alright, so she went to call President Chen,” Zhou Ze reported truthfully.
"Brother Jingxu, you're awake?" Yan Buyu pushed open the door, heard Zhou Ze's voice, and walked in with delight.
Si Jingxu glanced at Zhou Ze, who sensibly left. "President Si, I'll go and coordinate with the town mayor and the others."
When passing by without saying a word, they nodded more politely than usual.
The person who had been speaking to Zhou Ze with great vigor just moments before had now weakened and softly called to her, "Don't speak."
My heart tightened as I listened to her without her saying a word; she looked so pitiful.
She quickly stepped forward, bent down to look at him, and asked softly, "Would you like some water?"
Si Jingxu closed his eyes briefly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he nodded slowly.
Yan Buyu poured him a glass of warm water, raised the bed, and brought the glass to his lips. "Drink slowly."
Si Jingxu took two sips from her hand.
"Are you in a lot of pain? Shall I go ask the doctor if I can give you painkillers?"
She was very close to him, her eyes filled with undisguised worry and a hint of affection.
Si Jingxu's lips curled slightly as he grasped her hand and squeezed her chubby palm. "Feeling sorry for her?"
The casual, familiar tune successfully made Yan Buyu blush.
She abruptly pulled her hand back and hid it behind her back.
The action was too fast. Si Jingxu was stunned, his smile froze on his lips, and he looked at Yan Buyu in disbelief, "You've already changed your mind?"
