"sorry."
This was the first time Xiao Yuanmu saw Song Xuanhe cry, and also the first time he heard Song Xuanhe apologize to him.
Even though it was just two tears that he wiped away quickly, and even though his apology concealed the truth that he didn't want to tell him, it still made Xiao Yuanmu's gloomy heart turn into heartache, and the resentment and anger in his chest turn into worry.
Louis once asked him, "Yang got drunk once and said that you and Song are like each other, and he couldn't persuade you even if he didn't think highly of you. I went home and looked up what "like each other" means, but I was just curious, who is the winner between you and Song?"
Now the question has an answer - as long as Song Xuanhe wants, he can restrain everything he has.
And he was willing.
"Xiao Yuanmu."
Song Xuanhe called him, and when Xiao Yuanmu's dark and clear eyes were looking at him, he raised his hand and gently covered his eyes, feeling his long straight eyelashes brushing against his palm, which brought a tingling and numb feeling, which formed a sharp contrast with the pain in the muscles and wounds caused by the strain on his abdomen when he propped up his body. However, the feeling in his palm was much more distinct and intense than the pain in his abdomen.
The sudden disappearance of the light made Xiao Yuanmu pause for a moment. Feeling the warmth in Song Xuan's palm, he closed his eyes.
Song Xuanhe paused, his eyes tracing Xiao Yuanmu's straight nose and slightly pale but perfect lips. He slowly moved closer, their noses collided, and his lips covered Xiao Yuanmu's lips.
Xiao Yuanmu was startled suddenly, his eyes opened instantly, and at the same time his eyelashes brushed Song Xuanhe's palm again, Song Xuanhe's tongue tip penetrated into his mouth. He no longer paid attention to anything else, and kept leaning forward, quietly feeling the kiss.
The light seeped in little by little, the breaths entangled in the noses gradually faded away, the moist and soft temperature passed through the air, the heat gradually dissipated, leaving only a little warmth.
Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu looked into each other's eyes and asked him, "Will you forgive me?"
Xiao Yuanmu hummed softly, raised his hand to hold the back of his head, touched his lips again, and deepened the kiss.
Their lips and tongues intertwined, and they cared for each other. The temperature in the ward, which was already filled with hot air, continued to rise. The occasional light or heavy breathing sounds caused the tiny dust in the air to tremble.
squeak--
The sound of the door rubbing against the floor was particularly obvious in the quiet ward. The two separated instantly and looked towards the door at the same time.
"We seem to be disturbing you?" Louis and the doctor appeared at the door. Louis shrugged his shoulders, looking very regretful, but there was no apology in his tone: "Although I want to say sorry, I think Song is not suitable for intense exercise at this time. What do you think, Dr. Nathan?"
Dr. Nathan nodded with a smile and said, "As a doctor, I agree with what Mr. Lewis said, and I think Mr. Song's current posture is likely to have pulled the wound, so I need to check it out."
Xiao Yuanmu's originally surprised expression changed instantly. He turned around and found that Song Xuanhe's pale face was in sharp contrast with his bright red lips.
"Dr. Nathan." Xiao Yuanmu stepped aside and said, "Please help him."
Doctor Nathan nodded, and after lifting Song Xuanhe's clothes and seeing the blood-stained gauze, his smiling expression suddenly turned serious: "Mr. Song, your current condition is very grim. The original estimate of your wound infection after the operation was only 60%, but now it seems that the possibility of your infection is very high. I need you to cooperate with my treatment."
Song Xuanhe leaned against the head of the bed and nodded, "Of course."
"I'll take your temperature right away." Dr. Nathan said, "How do you feel now?"
Song Xuanhe pursed her lips and turned to look at Xiao Yuanmu. Under his worried look, she could only tell the truth: "The wound hurts more than when I woke up. I always thought it was because the anesthetic wore off. Is my wound inflamed?"
Doctor Nathan frowned and said, "The effect of your anesthetic wore off more than ten hours ago. All your current symptoms are signs of infection. I will increase your antibiotic injections later. We need to transfer as soon as possible."
Louis heard this and said, "I have contacted Horsman. He is very interested in our proposal and has agreed to help. In twenty minutes, our plane should land on the helipad on Mohammed's side. We can prepare now."
Song Xuanhe raised his eyes: "Jung Horsman?"
"You know him?" Louis was a little surprised, and then answered: "Yes, Jung Horsman is the only heir of the Horsman family. If we want to exclude interference from other countries, the only person who can make both parties in Country X compromise is probably the Horsman family. However, the Horsman family is unwilling to be involved in such matters. Xiao paid a lot..."
"Louis." Xiao Yuanmu glanced at Louis calmly and said to Song Xuanhe, "You have a good rest, we will leave soon."
Song Xuanhe glanced at Louis who kept his mouth shut, then his eyes fell on Xiao Yuanmu and he hummed softly.
Xiao Yuanmu nodded to Song Xuanhe, turned around and left the ward with Louis.
Dr. Nathan smiled and said, "Xiao really cares about you. This is the first time I've seen him care so much about someone. He doesn't even care half as much about his real relatives as he does about you."
"I know." Song Xuanhe retracted his gaze and asked curiously, "How does Mr. Nathan know that Xiao Yuanmu doesn't care about his family? Maybe he just doesn't show it normally."
Nathan shook his head and said, "My student knows Mr. Xiao. He started working in the Xiao family some time ago and was harassed by other exclusive family doctors. If Mr. Xiao's position in the Xiao family was stable or the Xiao family was harmonious, this incident would not have happened. However, he and I were recently transferred to Mr. Xiao's side. When we arrive in Y City, you should be able to meet him."
Song Xuanhe: "Can you tell me about the Xiao family?"
"Of course." Dr. Nathan said, "What do you want to hear?"
"Are Mr. and Mrs. Xiao good to Xiao Yuanmu?"
"Of course, they are all very nice to Mr. Xiao."
Nathan's two "of course"s were both spoken with a very affirmative tone, but if you listen carefully, you can hear that his second "of course" was a bit lighter than the first.
"What about his brother?" Song Xuanhe asked, "There are only four masters in the Xiao family. Since Madam Xiao and Mr. Xiao are good to Xiao Yuanmu, then the difficulties your apprentice encountered should have been caused by Xiao Bocong's people, right?"
Nathan shook his head: "If you want to hear about Mr. Xiao's recent situation in the Xiao family, I can tell you, but if it involves his family's privacy, maybe you will have to explore it yourself in the future."
Song Xuanhe's eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked, "How is Mr. Xiao's health now?"
Nathan's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly concealed it and said, "Mr. Xiao is in very good health."
"Really?" Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows and stopped asking questions. He just said, "Then can you tell me about the Xiao family that you think you can tell me about?"
"I can only tell you about Mr. Xiao Yuanmu." Doctor Nathan said, "He is in very good health. Although he sometimes forgets to rest and replenish his energy while working, he exercises very seriously every day, except..."
Song Xuanhe raised his hand and interrupted Nathan: "Can you tell me about Xiao Yuanmu's current situation in the Xiao family? This is very important to me."
Nathan paused, looked at him deeply, and said, "This matter is indeed very important to you, but I can't use my own opinion to influence yours. You need to observe it yourself."
Song Xuanhe nodded, so this conversation was a pure waste of time. Nathan was as tight-lipped as a trained spy and nothing could be said about him.
But... thinking of the student Nathan just mentioned, Song Xuanhe raised his head and said, "Mr. Nathan, excuse me for asking a question, is the student you mentioned a Chinese named Yu Yan?"
Nathan's face showed obvious surprise: "Mr. Song knows Yan?"
"Yes." Song Xuanhe continued to ask: "How is he now?"
Nathan was stunned. He didn't expect the reason why Song Xuanhe asked this, so he said truthfully: "He is very good. Are you friends with him?"
"My friend is friends with him."
Song Xuan and Xiaoxiao were just about to say something when they saw Xiao Yuanmu coming in.
"Do you know Yu Yan?"
Song Xuanhe laughed: "Zhou Nan's first love."
Xiao Yuanmu did not hide his surprise: "Zhou Nan?"
"Well, it seems like they've been together since middle school or high school."
Xiao Yuanmu nodded. In his previous life, he knew that Yu Yan had someone he liked. Later, Yu Yan said that he didn't want to return to China because he didn't want to see his previous lover. When he returned to China, in order to avoid the entanglement of his previous lover, he deliberately got close to him and said a few words to him at a banquet. However, he didn't expect that later there would be rumors that he and Yu Yan had an ambiguous relationship, and even that Yu Yan was his pursuer.
After this incident, when Yu Yan apologized to him, he learned that Yu Yan's first love was also at the banquet. The reason why he did that was self-evident, but he didn't expect that the world was so small and Yu Yan's first love was actually Zhou Nan.
Thinking of Yu Yan in the novel, who had always been deeply in pain and finally fell in love with Xiao Yuanmu, Song Xuanhe sighed: "First love never seems to have a good ending."
Xiao Yuanmu turned to look at Song Xuanhe, who added, "It's the same around me."
"I'm not your first love." Xiao Yuanmu said calmly, "Don't worry."
Song Xuan was silent for a moment, his eyes flashed but he didn't say anything.
Xiao Yuanmu recalled the ending of Yu Yan and Zhou Nan in his previous life. At that time, Yu Yan was avoiding Zhou Nan on the surface, but in fact he had been paying attention to his news. Later, when he learned that Zhou Nan was arranged to get married by his family, he hurriedly left the United States and returned to China. Before he had a car accident, he received a call from Yu Yan, inviting him to attend their wedding ceremony and saying that he would introduce Zhou Nan to him.
It now seems that Zhou Nan and Yu Yan were still together in the previous life.
"They will be together in the future." Xiao Yuanmu said, "You don't have to worry."
Although somewhat surprised by Xiao Yuanmu's confidence, Song Xuanhe still said, "I'm not worried about them."
"We, I mean."
Song Xuanhe was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds he reacted and said, "I'm not worried either."
