Chapter 48 Cannon Fodder
The ward was silent. Xiuzhu lay quietly on the hospital bed with her eyes closed. Her pale face against the white sheets made her look even more broken.
Gu Yu stood silently by the bed, his heart filled with anxiety.
The doctor examined me last night and said that I was lucky that no important parts of my body were hit, so my life is not in danger.
But the injury was not light and was diagnosed as a concussion. When the wound on his head was cleaned, he watched closely and asked the doctor to disinfect and clean it carefully.
The technical level in all aspects is now lower. He doesn't even trust the Beijing Hospital. The wound on his head must be taken seriously. It would be disastrous if he got tetanus.
Just to clean the wound, he shaved off a piece of Xiuzhu's hair on the back. She loves beauty so much, I wonder if she will be angry with him after she wakes up, blaming him for not protecting her hair.
Xiuzhu has been in a coma for a day and a half. He didn't dare leave her. Now he couldn't trust anyone. Xiuzhu's accident happened in the Lin family.
There are so many people at home, how could she be harmed like this?
He just couldn't help but take his anger out on others.
Even he himself couldn't forgive himself. His hearing was extraordinary. Why didn't he pay more attention to the movement downstairs at that time, and why was he so focused on how to deal with Ling Luochuan?
Xiuzhu is the most important. No matter who she chooses, he will keep her by his side. Ling Luochuan is nothing.
"Comrade Gu, please eat something first. This is the porridge that Aunt Gu just brought over." Xiu Li also felt sorry for her sister, but Gu Yu had been guarding the bedside for a day and a half, and she was afraid that he would faint if he didn't eat.
Gu Yu didn't look at her and was silent for a long time. Xiu Li thought he wouldn't reply and prepared to go out to wash the lunch box.
"Cousin, I want to talk to Xiuzhu alone." His voice was extremely hoarse, as if he had just walked out of the desert.
Xiu Li did not correct the other party's address. They all saw his actions and had already agreed in their hearts that Gu Yu and Xiu Zhu should be together.
She didn't say anything in response, but closed the door gently as she walked out.
Gu Yu is very capable. He arranged Xiuzhu in a single room so that she can rest well.
Xiuli was silent outside the door for a long time.
In less than two days, she and her mother took turns taking care of Xiuzhu, while her eldest brother and youngest brother were responsible for comforting grandfather at home.
Yucheng was also notified on the night of the accident, and my uncle and aunt are now on the train.
Aunt Gu also went to the hospital several times a day, and each time she brought various supplements and medicated foods, hoping that Xiuzhu would wake up and eat something.
She must be worried about her son. Gu Yu has not taken a single drop of water since Xiuzhu fell into a coma, and no matter how they persuaded him, it was useless.
Although he didn't say it, one could feel that he didn't trust or like any of them, including his mother.
I think they should be blamed for letting Xiuzhu be harmed like this right under their noses. But in fact, they also blame themselves.
"Oh," Xiu Li sighed weakly and walked towards the public washroom.

In the quiet ward, Gu Yu's dark eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at Xiuzhu quietly.
He spoke in a hoarse but unusually gentle voice: "Baby, can I call you baby? That's how foreigners call their significant others. I think you'll like it, too."
"You've been sleeping for a long time, why don't you wake up?"
"When you wake up, I will buy you beautiful clothes and shoes."
"I won't make you angry, I won't bully you, and I won't take advantage of you."
"The doctor said that being in a coma for more than two days will make the condition worse. You've always been the best. Can you please wake up now?"
Seeing that Xiuzhu still had no reaction, Gu Yu, the tall man lowered his head in a somewhat fragile manner.
Xiuzhu's tightly closed eyes moved. She was dreaming again. The memories in her head were confused and she could not tell which was the dream and which was reality.
She was in a daze until she heard a familiar voice whispering in her ear, coaxing her to wake up.
Xiuzhu slowly opened her eyes, stared at the roof for a while, then moved her gaze and saw a man with his head drooping, like a lost big dog.
Gu Yu adjusted his mood and looked up again. He was caught off guard and his eyes met the girl's on the bed. After two seconds of silence, he looked at her with eyes full of tenderness and love.
Then he quickly raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, making sure she was really awake.
His voice was as gentle as water, "Baby, you are amazing."
"I'll go get the doctor. I'll be right back."
He gently kissed her forehead, then stood up and walked hurriedly towards the door. He didn't go far, but shouted for a doctor outside the door.

"There will be no problem once you wake up. Just pay more attention to the wound on your head."
"By the way, headaches, dizziness, nausea, or brief periods of impaired consciousness are all normal after a concussion. Don't be afraid."
After examining Xiuzhu, the doctor gave her a few instructions and left the ward.
Xiuzhu hasn't spoken a word since she woke up. Now she is lying in Xiuli's arms, the sunlight shining through the window onto her face, highlighting her fair and transparent skin and melancholy eyes.
Xiu Li patted her thin back soothingly and said softly, "Xiu Zhu, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well. It's okay now, don't be afraid."
The girl in her arms lowered her eyes slightly, and after hearing her words, tears welled up in her eyes and then fell silently. Her pale and bloodless face made people who saw her feel pity for her.
Gu Yu suppressed the urge to grab the person and hold him in his arms.
He lowered his voice and spoke softly, fearing that his voice would disturb her, "Xiuzhu, where does it hurt? Tell Brother Gu, okay?"
Xiuzhu did not reply to him and was completely immersed in sadness.
It turns out that the script she got was not a sweet pet script, but a short-lived cannon fodder script that would not survive the age of 20...
To be precise, she was transported into a book, and she was transported there from her womb. The book was called "My Counterattack in the 1960s with a Good Luck".
Although it's unfair, she is definitely not the heroine, she can't even be the supporting actress.
She never appeared in the main story, and was only mentioned by name in the extra chapters. She was a beautiful cannon fodder...
