After Lu Chen finished speaking, he turned and left the ward. Only then did Cheng Mingyue realize that Lu Chen's walking posture was very strange.
She stepped forward and grabbed Lu Chen's arm, frowning and asking, "Lu Zhiqing, what's wrong with your leg?"
Lu Chen shook off Cheng Mingyue's hand: "I'm fine, I'll go wash my face and come back."
Does this look like everything is alright?
Cheng Mingyue remembered that it was not like this when she came in the morning. She pulled Lu Chen to sit on the bed without saying anything, reached out to lift up his trouser legs, and after seeing clearly, she couldn't help but let out a "hiss".
Lu Chen's legs were red and swollen, even bluish purple, and covered with knife wounds, looking very hideous.
Lu Chen quickly lowered his trouser legs to cover his injured leg, his expression becoming even more gloomy.
Cheng Mingyue's eyes were a little swollen. She sniffed and her voice trembled: "Lu Zhiqing, what happened to your leg?"
Lu Chenteng stood up and said in a cold voice: "It's none of your business. Since you are fine here, I will go back first."
Cheng Mingyue grabbed Lu Chen's arm and asked, "Don't you want this leg anymore?"
Just now, a thought flashed through Cheng Mingyue's mind.
Lu Chen's legs were red and swollen, which must have been caused by cycling today. He didn't find her in the town, so he must have cycled back to the Baihe Brigade.
Cheng Mingyue's guess was correct. Lu Chen waited for her at the town entrance for a long time but didn't see her. He then rode his bike to the post office, the supply and marketing cooperative, and even the bookstore to look for her. When he didn't find her, he rode his bike back to the Baihe Brigade.
Seeing that she didn't go home, I searched for her in the town for a long time. Afraid that she would walk back, I rode my bike back.
The last trip was with Cheng Xiangdong. When they went to the police station to report the case, they found out that she had led the police to catch human traffickers, so they stayed at the police station waiting for her.
This means that Lu Chen went back and forth several times today alone. His leg was already injured, and it was a miracle that it was not broken after all this tossing and turning.
As for the knife wound on her leg, Cheng Mingyue didn't dare to think too much about it. She softened her tone a bit: "Lu Zhiqing, I know you injured your leg today because you were looking for me. No matter what I say, there is no way I can let you walk back like this."
Cheng Mingyue pushed Lu Chen to sit on the bed and continued, "Since we are already in the hospital, why don't we just reattach your leg? What do you think?"
Lu Chen's throat rolled, and he said "Okay" in a low voice, then lay down with his back to Cheng Mingyue.
Cheng Mingyue stared at Lu Chen's back for a moment, picked up the basin of water under the bed and went out. After a while, she came back with a basin of hot water.
"Lu Zhiqing, soak your feet first, then go to sleep."
Lu Chen suddenly sat up from the bed, and his eyes were full of disbelief when he looked at Cheng Mingyue.
Not only did Lu Chen find it unbelievable, even Cheng Mingyue herself wanted to slap herself a few times.
In her entire life, except for preparing foot-washing water for the headmistress, she had never served anyone like this. If Lu Chen's legs were not so severely red and swollen and she was afraid of affecting the effect of the operation, why would she do this?
Cheng Mingyue touched her nose awkwardly. "I just asked the doctor. In your case, you need to soak in saline solution to reduce the swelling. I'll check you again tomorrow morning. If everything goes well, I'll perform surgery on you soon."
Lu Chen didn't say anything, just looked at Cheng Mingyue deeply, then took off his socks and soaked his feet in the water. He felt Cheng Mingyue's gaze on his feet, and his toes curled up involuntarily, and his ears turned red in a short while.
Cheng Mingyue didn't notice anything unusual about Lu Chen at all. She was staring at Lu Chen's feet and studying them.
Lu Chen cleared his throat and turned Cheng Mingyue's gaze back, "Thank you."
Cheng Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then realized that Lu Chen was talking about treating his leg, and said jokingly: "I won't help you for free, remember the conditions you promised me before."
Lu Chen didn't expect Cheng Mingyue to say that. Thinking of their previous agreement, a smile appeared in his eyes.
"I will never go back on my word. Your three conditions will always be valid."
After the water temperature became cold, Cheng Mingyue took the water out to pour it out, entered the ward and locked the door, then said hello to Lu Chen and entered the space.
She ran in the space for a while, took a spiritual spring bath, and then slipped out of the space.
Now that they are in the hospital, it is better to be cautious. She can stay in the space for a while, but definitely not for a long time. She lay on another bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep soon.
Lu Chen looked at Cheng Mingyue in the bed next to him, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
He was less than an arm's length away from Cheng Mingyue, but now he felt that they were so far away, and Cheng Mingyue was like a wisp of wind that he could neither touch nor catch.
He heard about Cheng Mingyue saving the child in the evening. Although the policemen's explanation was very vague, he still extracted very important information from it.
That is, Cheng Mingyue played a crucial role in this operation.
She is so outstanding, but he has nothing now and only has this broken body. How can he give her happiness?
But he was unwilling to give up Cheng Mingyue.
Lu Chen's thoughts went back and forth like this, and he lay there with his eyes open all night.
The next morning, Cheng Mingyue had just gotten up and packed up when Director Liu knocked on the door: "Comrade Cheng, my Xiaochuan is crying and looking for you again. I really have no other choice. Can you help me go and take a look?"
After hearing what Director Liu said yesterday, Cheng Mingyue felt more distressed for Liu Xiaochuan. She said something to Lu Chen and turned to go into the next ward.
Liu Xiaochuan sobbed softly, muttering "Mom" and "Mom".
Cheng Mingyue hugged Xiaochuan and patted his back gently. After he calmed down, she said softly: "Xiaochuan, I'm not your mother. You can call me Sister Mingyue."
When Liu Xiaochuan heard this, he pouted and was about to cry again.
Cheng Mingyue pulled out a White Rabbit candy from her pocket like a magic trick and waved it in front of him: "Call me Sister Cheng Mingyue and I'll give you a candy. It's so sweet!"
The child had no resistance to sugar, and his attention was immediately drawn to it. He called out sweetly, "Sister Mingyue."
Cheng Mingyue smiled and touched his head, peeled off the candy wrapper, and stuffed the candy into his mouth.
Director Liu felt relieved when he saw his son stop crying. He praised Cheng Mingyue profusely, "You still have a way. This time, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I really can't imagine what the result would be. If... if..."
If something happened to Xiaochuan, he really wouldn't want to live anymore.
Cheng Mingyue thought about it and looked at Director Liu hesitantly: "Xiaochuan was just scared. I think we still need to solve this problem fundamentally."
Director Liu asked in confusion: "How do we solve this problem? Do you have any good ideas?"
