Chapter 132: Impatient Ji Yunzhou
"Lewis, you look very happy today. What happened? Can you share it with me?"
In a clean, spacious and modern mechanical physiotherapy room, Ji Yunzhou was doing rehabilitation exercises. Then a white blonde woman walked in. Seeing the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, she was very curious about what had happened to make this lonely and pitiful handsome man smile like a young girl in love.
Ji Yunzhou raised his eyebrows subconsciously. Was he smiling?
Thinking about waking up and seeing the message Xia Wu sent him, Ji Yunzhou couldn't help but feel happy. Xia Wu was very beautiful in her cheongsam, and she was waiting for him to come back. This knowledge made him full of energy, and he couldn't wait to complete the rehabilitation exercise and go back as soon as possible.
"Good morning, Anni. She's my girlfriend. She shared her life with me and I'm very happy."
"Is that your girlfriend back home? She's so cute. She's been waiting for you to come back. No wonder you're so hardworking." Anni is Ji Yunzhou's chief physician for rehabilitation training. At the age of 28, she obtained a master's degree from the world's top medical university and joined a medical team specializing in serving the wealthy.
Ji Yunzhou's surgery was performed by the team behind her, and fortunately, the surgery was very successful. Although there was a minor accident during the operation, the result was good.
As long as he is trained properly, Ji Yunzhou can stand up like a normal person, but he will never be able to do any major exercise in his life. He can walk, but he cannot jump around.
I have to use crutches to walk for a long time.
However, in Anni's opinion, these did not affect the charm of the oriental young man in front of her. He had a mystery different from that of Westerners. He was simply the embodiment of her yearning for China. When she first met Ji Yunzhou, she was attracted by his fragile, mysterious yet strong temperament.
After spending such a short time together, Anni liked Ji Yunzhou even more. She had shown her affection to him many times, but Ji Yunzhou had no interest in her at all. He told Anni that he had a girlfriend in China who was waiting for him to return.
At first, Anni didn't take his words to heart. China is China, and this is abroad. Even if Ji Yunzhou and her had a brief affair, his girlfriend in China would not know about it. Most men would not refuse.
But Ji Yunzhou was an outlier. She ignored Ji Yunzhou's statement that he had a girlfriend and still wanted to get close to him. Ji Yunzhou changed his attitude towards her. He told her directly and seriously that if she continued to be unprofessional in this way, he would apply to change doctors.
Well, now Anni finally behaved much more obediently. She adopted the attitude of a doctor treating a patient and deliberately kept a safe distance from him.
Ji Yunzhou reluctantly returned to his attitude towards her.
At least I can say hello to her.
On the surface, Anni has given up on Ji Yunzhou, but she still doesn't believe that Ji Yunzhou really rejects her. She tasted the forbidden fruit when she was fifteen years old and still in high school, and until now, the window period has not exceeded three days.
Based on her understanding of men, haha.
So Ji Yunzhou would not be a surprise. He was just moral at the beginning, but after he had been holding it in for long enough and often saw such a beautiful woman like her, Anni didn't believe that he wouldn't be moved.
"Lewis, I'm glad to hear about your girlfriend. I'm curious about what kind of person she is. I'm going to help you with your recovery training. Maybe you can tell me her story."
Anni bent down, inadvertently revealing her amazing figure, but Ji Yunzhou didn't notice it at all. When Xia Wu was mentioned, he felt like he was in the clouds. While following the training, he talked about his first meeting with Xia Wu.
The first time he met Xia Wu, she was when she followed Grandpa Yang up the mountain to worship the Mother and Child Temple. For some reason, she fainted, and Grandpa Yang took her to Grandpa Pu's house. Xia Wu was sleeping soundly on the bed, like an elf lost in the mountains. Ji Yunzhou looked at her quietly for a few minutes. She opened her eyes and looked at him confusedly. Ji Yunzhou can still remember the feelings in his heart.
He had seen many beautiful girls, but he had never seen one with Xia Wu's temperament. She had a sense of fragility and confusion, as if she had experienced a lot of vicissitudes of life, and had an enduring coldness about her.
Ji Yunzhou saw a similar aura in her, and he thought that Xia Wu might have experienced a lot.
As it turned out, his guess was correct.
But unlike Ji Yunzhou who is giving up, even though Xia Wu has experienced bad things, she is still full of energy and has the courage to embrace a new life. She is like the sun. The sun may be covered by clouds sometimes, but the sun will always rise as usual and pass on its light warmly to every confused person.
Falling in love with Xia Wu was as easy as drinking water and eating. Ji Yunzhou didn't know when it started, but Xia Wu was always on his mind. He always wanted to see her more, wanted to get closer to her...
But he is a disabled person, this is an indisputable fact.
Ji Yunzhou didn't want to delay Xia Wu, and he always thought about retreating, but Xia Wu bravely came forward, grabbed his hand, and wanted to give him a chance.
Ji Yunzhou had the opportunity to undergo surgery two years ago. At that time, the team assessed that the failure rate of the surgery was very high. Once it failed, the worst result would be death, and the worse result would be becoming a vegetative state with a clear brain. They promised to do their best to save Ji Yunzhou's life.
Ji Yunzhou refused.
If he can't even guarantee the quality of his life, why should he live?
It’s better to maintain the status quo.
But after meeting Xia Wu, he wanted to give himself another chance.
If he could get back on his feet, he could...
A physical reassessment was conducted before the operation. Unexpectedly, Ji Yunzhou's physical condition had improved somewhat in the past two years, which greatly increased the success rate of the operation. Coupled with his strong desire to survive, the operation went smoothly.
Ji Yunzhou still has the black jade pendant given to him by Xia Wu hanging around his neck. In fact, he has a secret in his heart. When heavy bleeding occurred on the operating table, he was drowsy due to the anesthesia, and he always felt as if he saw the jade pendant in his palm emitting a light green light.
But when he asked other people afterwards, they all said they didn't find anything unusual.
Ji Yunzhou just thought it was a psychological effect.
He kept repeating Xia Wu's name and thinking about her smiling face. Jewelry cannot be worn on the operating table. He insisted on holding the jade pendant in his hand, and only then did he get the chance to wear the jade pendant on the operating table.
Ji Yunzhou always believed that he was able to survive thanks to Xia Wu.
If he hadn't met Xia Wu, he would definitely not want to live when he was lying on the operating table and something happened.
Anni heard a lot about Xia Wu from Ji Yunzhou, and she became more and more curious about Xia Wu's appearance. "Can I see a picture of your girlfriend?"
Ji Yunzhou's face instantly turned cold: "Anni, we are just a doctor and a patient."
Anni immediately raised her hands in surrender. "Lewis, please forgive my earlier abruptness. It's because in our country, this kind of thing is very normal. Even married people have one-night stands. But after hearing your story with your girlfriend, I think you two are truly in love. I don't intend to ruin your relationship. I'm just curious. If you feel offended, please forgive me. I won't say such things again."
Anni's sincere apology softened Ji Yunzhou's attitude. Whether before or after he got sick, there was always a lot of women around him, but after he got together with Xia Wu, he was very vigilant and knew to keep a distance from the opposite sex.
If Ji Yunzhou had to give a reason, perhaps he was feeling deeply uneasy.
In his relationship with Xia Wu, he is the weaker one.
In his eyes, Xia Wu could abandon him and find someone better at any time.
He was already feeling uneasy during this period of time abroad and the time difference between him and Xia Wu. However, he often learned about the situation in Yanggou Village. There were men coming to the village every few days, and it seemed that all of them were in good condition, at least in appearance.
Ji Yunzhou's desire to recover his health became stronger and stronger. He just wanted to return to China as soon as possible to be with Xia Wu!
He accepted Anni's apology, found the photo Xia Wu sent her, and showed it to Anni, saying proudly, "She is my lover."
Anni saw the beautiful girl at first sight. She was wearing rather conservative clothes that covered her graceful figure but did not affect her beauty at all.
"No wonder you like her so much, Lewis, your girlfriend is a super beauty."
"You are right, but beauty is only the least of her merits. If you meet her in person, I will say that you will like her as much as I like me."
Anni finally laughed. It turned out that Ji Yunzhou knew that she liked him very much.
Indeed, she hardly concealed her preferences, and even because of Ji Yunzhou, she became curious about the distant and mysterious China.
Anni said sincerely, "I really hope that one day I can set foot on Chinese soil and see your girlfriend in person. Maybe I will really fall in love with her."
Ji Yunzhou's desire to return to China became stronger and stronger. According to the advice given to him by the medical team, he had to stay in a sanatorium for at least one to two years for rehabilitation. How could Ji Yunzhou tolerate this? He couldn't even stay for a day, yet they asked him to stay for two years?
The medical team was helpless to see how anxious he was to return home. Finally, they proposed a solution: Ji Yunzhou could return home, but it would be best if he brought a professional rehabilitation physician with him.
This was another sky-high rehabilitation fee, but Ji Yunzhou agreed without even blinking.
He is not short of money, he just wants to return to Xia Wu as soon as possible.
Anni and her two other colleagues accepted Ji Yunzhou's employment and will stay with Ji Yunzhou for the next one or two years to help him recover his health.
The other two colleagues are male, one named Marco and the other named Andre.
Ji Yunzhou was on the Ji family's private plane and didn't even have time to tell Xia Wu the good news. Two days later, the plane arrived over Tong City and Ji Yunzhou was eager to return home.
Ever since she sent Ji Yunzhou a photo of her cheongsam and received his flattering reply, Xia Wu never replied to her messages. This made Xia Wu very anxious and she didn't know what was going on. The messages seemed to have fallen on deaf ears, so Xia Wu could only suppress her inner anxiety and turn her attention to work.
Xia Heng has become very good at milking cows. At the beginning, he didn't know how to do it at all, and it was Master Yang who taught him personally. Not only did this young master not learn it, he also had a very bad temper. His method was so rough that the docile buffalo got angry and almost threw him away.
Xia Zhi mocked him mercilessly and showed his amazing talent in milking, winning Xia Wu's praise. Xia Heng felt unbalanced again. In order to catch up with Xia Zhi, he stopped complaining and worked hard.
Putting the bucket full of milk aside, Xia Heng looked at the grassland-like scenery not far away with a bittersweet smile. Suddenly, he remembered something. Oh my god, didn't he come here to buy honey?
What about honey?
But strangely enough, he has been eating and sleeping well these past few days, and has also been able to go to the toilet very smoothly.
It was as if the problems that had been bothering him disappeared overnight.
Xia Heng scratched his head. Now that he no longer had any unspeakable secrets, shouldn't he leave? Why should he suffer here?
Xia Zhi had no intention of leaving. He even gave up the house he rented at the foot of the mountain and moved his meager belongings directly to the mountain. He got up early in the morning to milk the cows, went to Haotang Village to supervise the work during the day, and occasionally took private design jobs online. He worked eighteen hours out of twenty-four hours a day and looked energetic. He even had the time to bicker with Xia Heng.
Xia Heng was wearing a milker's uniform and a mask. He had only worn that set of clothes when he came. Who would have thought that he would be trapped here and not want to go back.
So everything on his body, from his underwear to his socks to his shoes, were all given to him by Yang Hongwen. The underwear and socks were brand new, but the clothes were old.
Xia Heng had never worn second-hand goods in his life, but he didn't expect to try it here.
His toothbrush was also newly bought, and it was as hard as pig bristles. His gums had been bleeding for the past two days. When Xia Wu asked, he found out that he bought it from the store at the village entrance for one yuan, and it felt very plastic.
It’s bitter, so bitter.
But Xia Heng just didn't want to leave.
He didn't know why, but he was really unhappy at first. Seeing Xia Zhi unhappy, Xiao Wu's attitude towards him also made him unhappy. The bruises on his face were just an excuse. Xia Heng really didn't want to go back.
After staying here for a while and getting used to it, everything seems to return to its original state and become simple.
As long as the clothes can be worn, and as long as there is a house to shelter from the wind and rain, it is enough for him to sleep. The insomnia and difficulty falling asleep that have plagued him for a long time no longer exist.
In the past, he had to rely on alcohol and an eye mask, and the slightest noise would make him fly into a rage and collapse immediately.
But after arriving in Yanggou Village, the above problems disappeared quietly, just like the constipation that had troubled him for a long time.
On the first night, Xia Heng lay on a wooden bed. The thin wall could not block out the chirping of insects outside, and the buffaloes in the cowshed snorted from time to time.
There was a lot of noise all around, and Xia Heng thought he would not be able to fall asleep for a long time. He was even prepared to stay awake until dawn, but who knew that he fell asleep inexplicably while thinking.
He slept until dawn and was woken up by Xia Zhi kicking on his door.
So Xia Heng is now willing to stay here and is trying to find excuses for not leaving.
If someone who knew him saw him like this, he would really hang himself, Xia Heng thought expressionlessly.
He didn't expect that this day would come so soon.
