Chapter 50 Published
Hug me.
Well, that sounds like an extremely sweet and docile request that is irresistible.
Ji Ruan's body temperature was very low.
He had always had cold hands and feet. After losing so much blood, his body was completely depleted and felt even more like an ice cube.
But when he buried his head in Gu Xiuyi's shoulder and rubbed his cheek against the skin on the side of Gu Xiuyi's neck, Gu Xiuyi felt very hot, as if his nerve endings were burning because of the touch and his blood was boiling.
He suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and hugged Ji Ruan half sadly and half distressedly, carefully holding his waist and holding him completely in his arms.
Ji Ruan's shoulders and back were thin and he didn't have much flesh, so Gu Xiuyi was able to cover him tightly by holding him like this.
Ji Ruan was obviously enjoying the hug. She moved slightly in his arms and then let out a satisfied sigh.
It was late April, the sun was shining brightly outside, the girls on the street were already wearing pretty little skirts, but the air conditioner in the ward was still blowing warm air.
Gu Xiuyi carefully felt Ji Ruan's body temperature, patted his back and asked softly: "Are you still cold now?"
But no answer.
Gu Xiuyi was afraid that he didn't hear clearly, so he asked again in his ear.
The ward was quiet; the gurgling sound of the humidifier was clearly audible, but there was no response from Ji Ruan.
Gu Xiuyi's heart began to beat anxiously.
"Ji Ruan?"
"Ji Ruan...what happened to baby?"
His shoulders slumped in response.
Gu Xiuyi was going crazy. The memory of Ji Ruan lying quietly in his arms in the ambulance came back to him and fear filled his whole body.
·
Ten minutes later.
There were doctors surrounding the ward, and the room was silent.
There was an awkward atmosphere in the air.
Gu Xiuyi's operation just now almost alarmed the wards on the entire floor. Some patients with plaster casts struggled to run out to watch the fun.
The calm director rushed over with a group of doctors, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.
But the final examination result was that Ji Ruan fell asleep again.
The director looked at the man in front of him whose complexion had not fully recovered and who still looked like he wanted to kill someone. He coughed and racked his brains to think of the words, trying to make him understand that his lover was just asleep and not unconscious again, and was in good condition without any complications.
"It's not easy for him to stay awake for so long after waking up for the first time. It means he is in very good condition. Patients with such poor physical conditions need to sleep more and rest more to recover well..."
The director hesitated for a moment, and finally patted Gu Xiuyi on the shoulder: "Relax, young man. The emotions of the family members will also affect the patients. Don't be too nervous."
Gu Xiuyi: “…”
Gu Xiuyi nodded solemnly.
The patients and their families who came out to watch the excitement waited for a long time and found out that it was all a misunderstanding. In fact, there was nothing exciting at all, so they dispersed immediately.
But the atmosphere on the scene didn't improve much. There was still a sense of awkwardness in the silence.
Among the team of doctors led by the director, someone suddenly laughed and tried to be lively: "It's good that nothing's wrong. It's a good thing that nothing's wrong, hahahaha..."
After a second or two, everyone responded with laughter, and the air was filled with joy again.
It turned out to be a false alarm. Ji Ruan only slept for two hours and woke up just in time to drink the pork rib soup cooked by Aunt Zhao.
People with weak bodies need more sleep than normal people. This is common sense for most people, but it is beyond Gu Xiuyi's understanding.
Gu Xiuyi is a super curler who gets up at five or six in the morning to exercise, and does not work overtime until midnight, and he enjoys it very much. In his thirty years of life, he has never thought carefully about the importance of sleep to the human body.
After the nurse who came to remove the needle for Ji Ruan told Aunt Zhao about this incident, it became her joke for a month. She generously shared it with her good friend, Aunt Fang, who was depressed and had just been diagnosed with diabetes at Li Suian's house. Aunt Fang laughed heartily all day long, and her physical and mental health improved a lot.
For this, Li Suian specially sent a thank-you text message, saying that thanks to Gu Xiuyi's selfless dedication, he left behind such a legendary story with sincere and full emotions that was enough to be passed on by word of mouth for decades at Gu's annual meeting, showing the lingering and touching love between their chairman and his wife.
Of course, the most important thing is that Aunt Fang felt much better after hearing this, and greasy food could finally be seen on the dining table in Li Suian's house again.
After knowing this, Gu Xiuyi did not make any statement. He calmly took a look at the company's internal forum, deleted a few posts and blocked a few accounts.
Then click to exit, open your phone, find the pretentious WeChat avatar installed by Li Sui, and click - add to blacklist.
Li Suian was not released until later when Gu Xiuyi took Ji Ruan to get an external machine.
At this moment, Gu Xiuyi hugged Ji Ruan, who was still soft after waking up from a nap, and fed him pork rib soup.
When Aunt Zhao came, she first took Ji Ruan aside to comfort her with concern. After knowing the misunderstanding that Gu Xiuyi had just caused, she wiped away her tears and sat on a chair beside her. Now she was holding her cell phone and typing away without saying a word, and she would laugh from time to time.
Gu Xiuyi didn't care about the old lady's entertainment life. His heart and eyes were full of Ji Ruan. Even if Aunt Zhao said now that she had found her second spring, Gu Xiuyi probably wouldn't have any reaction. He would just consider how to help her organize a wedding banquet.
Aunt Zhao’s pork rib soup is stewed to be fragrant and thick, with all the essence of the big bones boiled into it. As soon as the lid is opened, the whole ward is filled with fragrance.
Ji Ruan drank the soup that Gu Xiuyi fed him in small sips, still thinking about what the nurse who came to remove the needle for him said.
His hearing is not good, and he can only hear vaguely whether he has an external device or not. But what the nurse said seemed particularly interesting. Aunt Zhao was about to cry while holding his hand, but after hearing those words, she felt better and was in the mood to chat with people.
Ji Ruan really wanted to know if the nurse was saying that he would soon get better, which was why Aunt Zhao was so happy. But when he asked Gu Xiuyi, Gu Xiuyi didn't tell him and just said that it had nothing to do with him and told him to eat well.
Ji Ruan always felt that his mind was not very clear. After drinking a few sips of soup, he lowered his head listlessly.
Seeing this, Gu Xiuyi put the soup bowl back on the small table and touched Ji Ruan's stomach: "What's wrong, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
The doctor said that the first meal after a long period of fasting might irritate the stomach and intestines, but he thought he had been 100% careful when feeding Ji Ruan.
Is there still a problem?
Gu Xiuyi frowned tightly.
Ji Ruan sighed, pulled Gu Xiuyi's hand away, and shook his head gently.
"What happened?" Gu Xiuyi was extremely anxious, but he could only ask Ji Ruan in a gentle voice.
Ji Ruan looked up at him, his eyes full of worry: "You said... Will bleeding affect IQ?"
"……?"
Gu Xiuyi was stunned.
He moved his lips and felt as if he had a lot to say, but when it reached his throat he suddenly forgot what he wanted to say.
After a while, Gu Xiuyi pursed his lips and said carefully: "You, um... why do you think so, baby?"
The expression on Ji Ruan's face did not look like he was joking at all. His thin eyebrows were tangled and his cheeks were puffed up, as if he was discussing this issue very seriously.
She was so cute that Gu Xiuyi wanted to give her a kiss.
He pointed at his temple with his index finger, which was white, and said seriously, "I feel like my brain is so stupid now. I can't understand what people say... and I can't think straight."
Gu Xiuyi didn't expect to hear such a lovely answer in his lifetime. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, and were then suppressed forcefully.
He pulled Ji Ruan's hand down, held the white finger and gently squeezed it: "No, baby."
Ji Ruan's eyes were still full of sorrow.
Gu Xiuyi couldn't help it anymore, he hugged Ji Ruan into his arms, and smiled with his eyes narrowed where Ji Ruan couldn't see:
"It won't affect your IQ, it's just that your hearing is poor and your spirit is too weak, so you find it difficult to communicate. We will recover slowly."
Ji Ruan took a while to understand this sentence, and felt that he had become stupider. He asked worriedly, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Gu Xiuyi laughed enough and returned to his serious state. He gently rubbed Ji Ruan's temples, and changed the subject in order to prevent the child from continuing to worry about his IQ.
"You often cried when you slept a few days ago, did you know that? Can you tell me why?"
Ji Ruan poked his head out from his arms with a dazed look in his eyes.
Gu Xiuyi was not in a hurry. He put his hand on the back of his neck and waited for him to think slowly. At the same time, he was a little worried because he was worried that it would evoke the bad memories of Ji Ruan when he was injured.
As if to believe that his IQ had not really dropped, Ji Ruan thought particularly seriously and did not speak for two or three minutes.
When he looked at Gu Xiuyi again, his eyes became clear and firm.
"Because I'm hungry," he said.
Gu Xiuyi: “…………???”
Gu Xiuyi, who suffered multiple shocks on the same day, began to suspect that there was something wrong with his brain.
Ji Ruan was very persistent and emphasized again: "Because you often tell me the names of various dishes and read the recipe of steamed sea bass every day. Sometimes I can hear it and feel so hungry but can't wake up. Do you understand how uncomfortable it is?"
"I……"
Gu Xiuyi was speechless.
Ji Ruan's eyes were swollen from crying because of greed? So he was really to blame? Even if he wasn't kissed, they ended up in the same situation?
It's unbelievable.
"But I didn't cry." Ji Ruan said firmly.
“…”
Well, the kid refused to acknowledge this established fact.
Knock knock——
There was a knock on the door, and a pretty nurse came in with a medical tray, smiling brightly: "Oh, you really feel much better after eating?"
Ji Ruan had been drowsy for the past few days and had no impression of this young lady, but he still nodded obediently.
The nurse put the tray on the small table and said to Ji Ruan in a very gentle tone: "Shall we change the dressing?"
Gu Xiuyi's expression changed slightly.
It was the first time that Ji Ruan changed the dressing while awake, and he didn't feel anything special. His legs had been a little sore since he woke up, but it was all within tolerable range.
Without thinking much, he lifted the quilt and stretched out his legs to make it easier for the nurse to operate.
The nurse gently rolled up his trouser legs, and Ji Ruan saw that there was a long piece of medical tape on his calf, with a lot of blood seeping out of it.
But before the tape was removed and he could see his wound with his own eyes, his eyes were covered.
Gu Xiuyi held him in his arms and patted his back gently: "Don't look, baby, it will be fine soon."
Ji Ruan wanted to say that he was not afraid of this, as he had experienced more serious surgical incisions many times.
But when the tape was torn off and the wound was wiped with medicine, Ji Ruan still felt dizzy for a moment due to the pain.
This pain was even more intense than when I was trapped in the mountains. It felt like countless knives cutting and tearing my skin.
Ji Ruan's forehead was sweating and his hands couldn't help shaking. He couldn't even hear Gu Xiuyi's words of comfort clearly.
Where he couldn't see, the smile on Aunt Zhao's face when she sent the message disappeared, and Gu Xiuyi's expression became particularly solemn.
Even though he had seen Ji Ruan change the medicine so many times, Gu Xiuyi couldn't face the bloody wound.
A ten-centimeter-long wound was entangled on Ji Ruan's snow-white calf, which was stitched together like a ferocious centipede. It was out of tune with Ji Ruan's fair and clean body, and made people feel cold in their hearts.
The nurse had a very good mental state. Her expression remained unchanged throughout the whole process. After helping Ji Ruan put on new tape, she smiled and said:
"The wound has healed well, but there is still some bleeding. Family members should pay attention to cleanliness and avoid inflammation."
Gu Xiuyi's face was slightly stiff, and he nodded politely, "I understand, thank you."
"You're welcome." The nurse finished her job and left gracefully.
Gu Xiuyi hugged Ji Ruan tightly, and after a while he took a deep breath and forced a smile.
He wiped the sweat off Ji Ruan's forehead and said softly, "Are you okay, baby?"
Ji Ruan's eyes were somewhat distracted. After meeting Gu Xiuyi's gaze, he smiled bitterly:
"It does hurt a bit..."
