When Xia Huai woke up again, she didn't see the familiar ceiling.
The pungent smell of disinfectant surrounded her, and she recognized it as the hospital ceiling.
I have an IV drip in my hand, and there's only a little bit left in the bottle.
Both feet were wrapped in gauze, making them look like two small steamed buns, and she was dressed in a hospital gown.
My whole body aches from sprinting.
Struggling to sit up, I saw my bag on the bedside table, reached over and took it out, then pulled out my phone.
Aside from some work reports, there was nothing else.
Xia Huai also took a few extra glances at Song Jinshi's portrait.
Then, I found Xu Zhaozhao's WeChat in the contacts list.
I took a picture of my feet, which looked like steamed buns.
Xia Huai: [Image]
Xia Huai: How's my cosplay of Little Bun?
Shh: ?
Hush: What happened to you? How did you end up in the hospital?
Although Xia Huai tried to be humorous, she still recognized the hospital background at a glance because Gu Qingyan took her to the hospital every day during her pregnancy.
Xia Huai: It's nothing. I was wearing high heels while inspecting the construction site, but the beautiful torture device still came at me.
Xia Huai: [Kitten crying.jpg]
Shh: [Petting the kitten.jpg]
Shh: Take good care of your feet! Which hospital are you at?
Xia Huai: We're not in the capital, no need for Zhao Zhao to nag, it's no big deal.
Shh: Okay. [Pitiful]
That concludes my chat with Xu Zhaozhao.
At that moment, the door to the ward was opened from the outside, and a slight noise was heard.
Xia Huai looked up and met Song Jinshi's eyes.
A look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and her hand holding the phone froze.
This was unlike any other time she had ever seen Song Jinshi.
The first time, Song Jinshi appeared before her in uniform.
Her neat short hair was cut very short, and her face, without stage makeup, had a more heroic air, with a smooth and obvious jawline.
Although his almond-shaped eyes appear gentle, he is quite intimidating when he looks at you with a serious expression.
He stood tall and straight, his uniform accentuating his broad shoulders and narrow waist, the badge reflecting light and dazzling the eye.
The greyhound was her biggest misunderstanding of Song Jinshi.
The moment Song Jinshi saw Xia Huai wake up, his expression softened, and he placed the chicken soup in front of her.
"The doctor said you'd wake up today, but you actually woke up last night."
This was the third time he had gone to buy chicken soup.
Xia Huai drank two sips of chicken soup to moisten her dry throat, and was able to speak normally again.
He opened another thermos, which contained traditional Chinese medicine that he had prepared for Xia Huai according to the doctor's orders.
Looking at the Chinese medicine, Xia Huai asked softly, "How did you end up here?"
Song Jinshi pulled over a small stool and sat down next to her hospital bed, his back still straight.
"My colleague said that someone reported a case here, saying that there have been a series of murders at a construction site."
He gently stirred the medicine with a spoon to cool it down as quickly as possible.
"I thought the name of the construction site looked familiar, so I came along."
Only he knew that his hands were so weak he could barely hold the spoon—he was filled with lingering fear.
What if... just what if... I hadn't come along today...?
This case was solved quickly.
Because the developer was in arrears with wages, the contractors kept changing, and they were all killed by the workers who went too far.
Seeing the glamorous Xia Huai today, the resentment that had been building up inside me finally exploded, and I chased after Xia Huai.
Xia Huai was held in Song Jinshi's arms. The brigade captured all the overreacting workers, including the instigator.
They confessed everything in no time during the interrogation.
After Song Jinshi finished speaking, the two remained silent for a while, until the Chinese medicine had cooled down.
He pushed it towards her.
She didn't say anything, but swallowed the Chinese medicine in one gulp without even frowning.
Song Jinshi handed over the candied fruit.
Xia Huai stared at the candied fruit for several seconds before picking one up and putting it in her mouth.
The sweet aroma filled the air, washing away the bitterness in my mouth.
A sentence suddenly came to her mind.
I could have endured bitterness if I had never tasted sweetness.
After Xia Huai finished taking her medicine, Song Jinshi stood up and picked up the briefcase that no one had noticed from the sofa not far away.
He took out the documents and placed them in front of Xia Huai.
She opened it, and it showed several of Fu Family Real Estate's projects, with detailed introductions to them.
Before she could ask, Song Jinshi explained it himself.
"I've checked for you, and these projects are clean."
Song Jinshi had a wide range of sources for information.
The first source of information was Fu Chengze, and the second was information obtained from investors in the entertainment industry.
The third is information provided by interrogating construction workers, and the fourth is information provided by the forces behind these projects.
Based on this information, we found common ground and selected the following projects.
I wouldn't say 100%, but 99% of it is clean, so she can confidently acquire or invest in it.
The nurse came to remove Xia Huai's needle.
Her injuries were mainly concentrated on her feet, but fortunately they were only superficial, and she will be able to be discharged from the hospital once she has recovered.
Xia Huai took out his phone again and asked his secretary to come to the hospital.
Her response to Song Jinshi was to acquire or invest in all the projects he offered her.
During her hospital stay, Xia Huai worked online, and Song Jinshi would come to keep her company every day, even if she was handling work while he just sat there.
A month later, the scabs on Xia Huai's feet finally fell off, new skin grew, and she was allowed to be discharged from the hospital.
On this day, Song Jinshi actually came to pick her up wearing his uniform.
"Dressed so formally? How do you know I was praised by the board?"
Xia Huai smiled, her fox-like eyes captivatingly beautiful.
Song Jinshi took her hand very familiarly and led her towards the underground parking garage, saying, "Today is truly a special day."
The car drove for six hours, from blazing sun to a sky ablaze with sunset colors, before finally returning to the capital.
Soon, Xia Huai understood what he meant by the special day.
Beijing Police Department.
A group of people with the same skin stood formally at the door, watching Song Jinshi and her slowly approach.
The leader saluted him, "Captain Song, welcome home."
Song Jinshi returned the gift.
Then the man looked at Xia Huai and greeted her very naturally, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
After someone took the lead, a continuous stream of "Hello, sister-in-law!" came from behind.
Xia Huai never expected that at her age, she would still feel helpless.
"Okay, don't scare my girlfriend away."
Song Jinshi took Xia Huai's hand, his eyes sparkling with the glow of the sunset.
Today, Song Jinshi officially retired from the entertainment industry and returned to the Beijing police force.
Xia Huai asked Song Jinshi to accompany her for a walk, and he did not refuse, but he did not intend to walk with her for very long.
She only strolled around the nearby park, since her foot injury had just healed.
In her presence, Song Jinshi was just a big child.
"Baby, I'm so happy! Do you know what my return to the team means?"
What does it mean?
Xia Huai, unusually patient, replied, "Are you able to continue pursuing your dreams?"
"no."
Song Jinshi quickly refuted her, saying, "That means military marriages cannot be dissolved!"
"Wow."
Xia Huai laughed, "Then I definitely can't marry you."
Song Jinshi was so angry that he couldn't even walk straight, and he angrily carried her back to the car.
The handsome men in uniforms and the elegant women attracted almost 100% attention along the way.
Xia Huai was actually a little embarrassed.
...
That evening, Song Jinshi's shirt had disappeared.
With her hands bound behind her back by hemp rope, she sat on the sofa, her almond-shaped eyes glistening with tears.
Xia Huai leaned down, poked his shoulder with his extended nail, and smiled slyly.
"Song Jinshi, you don't think you can ride on my back just because you changed your skin, do you?"
Although Song Jinshi's clothing style used to be very shabby, most of the time he wore ripped bottoms.
At this point, Xia Huai finally understood the reason.
A series of crisscrossing scars protrude, covering the entire upper body, with a particular concentration on the shoulders.
She stretched out her fingers and gently stroked each line, turning Song Jinshi's entire body pink.
"Baby……"
"Shut up!"
Xia Huai suddenly leaned down and kissed Song Jinshi, silencing him.
The night was long, and there was nothing but broken humming.
As dawn broke, Song Jinshi caught a glimpse of her smile through his blurry vision.
"Song Jinshi, I'm granting you a chance to marry me."
"Yes, sir."
...
Years later, Song Jinshi would boast about it to everyone he met.
"My wife pursued me. She confessed her feelings to me first, and I reluctantly agreed."
actually.
He had already surrendered.
