Chen Ji didn't want to continue this topic and instead asked, "Have they found the person?"
Xu Hanli's expression turned serious. He shook his head and said somewhat dejectedly, "No."
The ward fell silent for a moment.
Xu Hanli hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't help but ask, "Chen Ji, is it possible...?"
"Let me know if you have any news," Chen Ji interrupted him.
He doesn't want to hear hypotheticals, possibilities, or probabilities; in his mind, only facts are reliable.
Xu Hanli sighed, "People always have to look forward. It's not your fault. Don't be too hard on yourself."
Xu Hanli knew Chen Ji all too well.
He was afraid that he would get stuck on a rut, and in fact he did get stuck on a rut, even intending to ruin his life because of it.
"There's something I need you to look into," Chen Ji said, changing the subject.
He glanced at Xu Hanli and immediately understood what he meant.
So he stepped forward, and Chen Ji whispered something in his ear.
"Huh? I don't think she's that kind of person."
"When will the enemy be able to see it?"
Chen Ji's gaze sharpened, and Xu Hanli had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I'll go check."
"She just saved your life," Xu Hanli muttered to himself, glancing at Xu Ruantang every now and then.
"I know, do one more thing for me."
Xu Hanli wasn't unwilling to help Chen Ji with these things, but he was harboring a grudge, so his tone was somewhat sharp: "Get things done! Can't you take care of yourself first?"
"I just saw a doctor, and the doctor said that your wound got infected because the dressing wasn't changed properly, which is why you ended up in the hospital!"
After all these years of brotherhood, Xu Hanli couldn't bear to see Chen Ji demeaning himself like this.
He is Chen Ji!
He's the kind of person whose very name can send shivers down the spines of the entire army!
"Chen Ji, you did this on purpose, didn't you?" Xu Hanli asked, voicing the suspicion he least wanted to admit.
Chen Ji's fingers curled slightly at his side, his gaze turning cold. "Don't talk nonsense about my parents and my brother."
Chen Ji didn't respond to anything Xu Hanli said.
I used to know he was opinionated and had a dull and aloof personality, but now it seems he has even more torturous tricks up his sleeve than just dullness and aloofness.
Xu Hanli closed his eyes weakly, raised his hand to pinch his brow, and asked, "What will you do if they come back looking for you?"
"I'll make my own decisions about my own affairs," Chen Ji said calmly.
"You're so stubborn! Fine, I can't be bothered with you. Just tell me what you need help with."
Xu Hanli never expected that the favor Chen Ji asked him to do would leave him feeling helpless for the first time in his life.
......
Xu Ruantang was exhausted. At that time, she was pulling Chen Ji towards the city, probably because she was holding back a lot of energy and didn't feel anything.
Once you relax, you simply can't take it anymore.
She slept straight through until dark, and was still a little dazed when she woke up.
He rubbed his eyes, turned his head, and met Chen Ji's gaze. "What time is it?"
Xu Ruantang spoke subconsciously, but realized it was inappropriate after asking, as he hadn't been wearing a watch when he came out.
"Seven-thirty," Chen Ji replied, glancing out the window.
Xu Ruantang: "......"
When trying to soothe a child, you should at least raise your arm and pretend to check your watch, right?
You glanced out the window; is there a watch outside?
Xu Ruantang coughed lightly, "Um, are you hungry? I'll go get some food."
"No need." Chen Ji pointed to the lunchbox on the table. "Xu Hanli made it before he left. I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you. Eat when you wake up."
He leaned against the headboard, and somehow a book had appeared in his hand.
It was probably given to me by Xu Hanli.
Xu Ruantang went out and washed her face, feeling much more refreshed. She drank a large glass of water before starting to eat.
She still didn't eat much. Chen Ji looked at the remaining food and frowned slightly. "No appetite?"
"No, I'm full." Xu Ruantang was also a little embarrassed. In this era, many people still don't have enough to eat, and it's not good for her to always leave food uneaten.
But she really couldn't eat another bite; if she ate any more, she would just throw it up after a while.
Chen Ji glanced at her with an inscrutable expression, then took the lunchbox and began to eat.
Xu Ruantang reached out to stop him, but not knowing what to say, she simply shut up.
"These are new clothes and the key to the guesthouse. Xu Hanli is waiting for you downstairs. Go to the guesthouse to rest tonight."
Chen Ji slowly finished the food in his lunchbox, his calm and deep voice drifting over.
Following his gaze, Xu Ruantang saw the cloth bag on the stool.
She was a little surprised: "No need, I'll stay here."
The hospital has beds available for rent to caregivers, so she could sleep on one. Otherwise, what would Chen Ji do at night if he were all alone?
As if knowing what she was thinking, Chen Ji's eyes flickered slightly, and his cold and stern expression softened a bit. "Xu Hanli will stay here with you tonight. You should get some rest."
Since that's the case, she won't stand on ceremony.
As Xu Ruantang walked out of the hospital, she saw that figure in military green. It was mainly because Xu Hanli was so tall that he stood out in the crowd.
He had clearly seen her too, and walked towards her.
"Come on, I'll take you there."
"Okay, thank you." Xu Ruantang looked up and noticed that Xu Hanli's fair face was now flushed red, as if...
I ran ten kilometers.
"Why don't you tell me how to get there? I can go by myself." Xu Ruantang was worried that he might get dizzy on the way.
Ultimately, unable to resist Xu Hanli's insistence, he escorted her to the entrance of the guesthouse, said goodbye to the staff, and then left.
Xu Ruantang collected the free towels, bought soap and a toothbrush, and went upstairs.
She really wanted to take a good shower, but when she finished and changed into the clothes in her bag, she realized it was a dress.
A red dress, a shirt, loose jeans, and a pair of sneakers.
Xu Ruantang picked up the shoes and looked at them; they were exactly her size.
Did Chen Jimai buy it?
When Xu Ruantang saw the clothes she had changed out of, she understood why Chen Ji insisted that she stay at the guesthouse.
Her trouser legs were covered in mud, and her shoes were even worse; she looked like she had just come back from watering the fields.
Xu Ruantang returned to her room and had a good, comfortable sleep.
I thought she would have insomnia because she slept too much during the day, but she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Xu Ruantang got up early in the morning and went into a department store for a look around. She actually saw a store selling baby bottles.
Since it was a glass bottle, she bought one for Xiaobao.
Xu Ruantang stood outside the ward door, and knocked on the door first. Only after hearing a "Come in" from inside did she go in.
Chen Ji and Xu Hanli looked over at the same time.
Xu Hanli spoke first: "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
The girl was wearing a polyester shirt and jeans, and her long, shiny black hair was draped over her shoulders, making her small, delicate face look even whiter and more tender.
Xu Ruantang: "......"
She put down her backpack, looked up towards the hospital bed, and her shimmering eyes were like clear mountain spring water.
