In fact, the moment he heard the footsteps, Qin Hezhou guessed that it might be Pei Zhiyu coming.
He had mixed emotions in his heart. He didn't dare to look up when he saw someone walking towards him. He didn't know what to say or do.
Qin Hezhou didn't want to show his embarrassed and weak side in front of her.
He always thought about becoming a strong man to protect the one he loved, but he never thought that the one he loved also wanted to protect him.
It's okay when there is no one to comfort you, but once someone comes to care about you, you can no longer suppress your sadness. This is true for everyone.
Pei Zhiyu's gentle comforting gesture only caused his suppressed tears to flow. Perhaps feeling embarrassed, Qin Hezhou covered his face tightly with his hands without saying a word, not wanting her to see.
"Qin Hezhou."
She whispered his name, and without prying his hands apart as if to peek into someone else's scars, she just slowly asked him, "Do you want to hug me?"
If necessary, she will stay here; if not, she will leave obediently and give him some private space.
Time seemed to stand still.
Nothing could be heard except Qin Hezhou's uncontrollable sobbing.
"I understand." Pei Zhiyu said in a low voice.
She thought Qin Hezhou didn't need her, and was about to pull her hand back when he suddenly grabbed her wrist with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to crush her.
But his voice was still shaking. Fear swallowed Qin Hezhou completely. Now only Pei Zhiyu could calm him down.
He said as if begging: "Pei Zhiyu, hug me..."
Pei Zhiyu was already in tears and couldn't even utter a word in response. He could only quickly hug the person and whisper "hmm".
When Zhong Yue caught up, he saw Pei Zhiyu standing in front of the operating room door in the distance, and Qin Hezhou sitting on a bench, with his arms tightly around her waist and his head buried in her waist.
Seeking comfort in the most vulnerable way.
Isn't that love? It's just that the person involved is confused.
As a bystander, Zhong Yue originally hoped that Pei Zhiyu could stop the loss in time and not waste himself in meaningless feelings.
But after what happened today and the scene before her, she changed her mind and just hoped that they could finally get married.
The operation was very difficult. Pei Zhiyu maintained this posture and waited with Qin Hezhou for several hours. The door did not open until dawn.
"Um..." Zhong Yue spoke cautiously, reminding: "If you can't get out for a while, why don't you go and rest for a while."
Hearing this, Pei Zhiyu lowered her eyes and glanced at Qin Hezhou, her eyes full of pity. She said to Zhong Yue, "You go back first. I'll stay here with him."
Although he hoped that they were both well, Zhong Yue was really worried about Pei Zhiyu's health. After all, he had just experienced an explosion and it had been a whole night. It would be bad if he didn't rest.
In desperation, she placed her hope on another person, "Qin Hezhou, please try to persuade her. Xiaoyu still has a concussion!"
Pei Zhiyu was about to say no when the shackles around his waist suddenly disappeared.
Qin Hezhou let her go, wiped his face casually, and said to her in a hoarse voice: "She's right, you need to rest."
“…” Pei Zhiyu said nothing, she didn’t want to leave.
The two of them just stared at each other, as if betting on who would compromise first.
Since she woke up, she saw Qin Hezhou's face for the first time. He cried so hard that his eyes were red and swollen, and there was some stubble on his chin...
Lying inside was his only remaining relative besides his grandmother. Pei Zhiyu fully understood how painful it would be to lose a loved one.
She subconsciously reached out and gently touched the corner of his eyes, "I'm sorry."
Apologize to the lost Gesang flowers and apologize to Qin Hezhou who was misunderstood by him.
This time, Pei Zhiyu made up his mind.
"I won't leave."
"Zhou Yanli told me that your injuries are actually more serious than my aunt's." Qin Hezhou held her hand to comfort her and said softly, "Pei Zhiyu, I need you and I want you to be well. Be obedient and go back to rest."
If losing a loved one is going to be a fait accompli, then he hopes that his loved ones who are still alive will be safe.
But Pei Zhiyu was very tough. She knew that these two people were doing this for her own good, but her highly tense nerves made her hardly feel tired.
Just as they were pulling each other, the door of the operating room finally opened.
Qin Hezhou jumped up from his seat instantly, but due to sitting for a long time and mental exhaustion, he couldn't support his shaking body and almost fell down.
Fortunately, Pei Zhiyu held his hand and gave him support, so he did not fall.
The two held hands and supported each other as they walked over.
Qin Hezhou asked anxiously, "How is it? Was the operation successful?"
"It's a success." Zhou Yanli took off his mask and looked at the doctor next to him, as if he had something else to say.
Qin Hezhou was a very observant person, so how could he not notice these small movements? He immediately asked, "Is he awake?"
His heart was in suspense again.
Zhou Yanli nodded apologetically and spoke with difficulty, "The explosion had too many consequences. She's in the best condition possible right now, but as to whether Aunt Meng can wake up, or when she will wake up... we can't guarantee that."
Zhou Yanli felt uncomfortable seeing the light in Qin Hezhou's eyes disappearing little by little, but as a doctor, he had to tell him the truth.
The nurse was pushing the patient out of the operating room and felt the oppressive atmosphere as she passed by them.
Qin Hezhou did not stop, but followed him belatedly. Before leaving, he did not say a word to Zhou Yanli, just gave him a look.
Zhou Yanli understood the meaning. He raised his head and struggled internally. After hesitating for a while, he finally called home.
Because Qin Mengzhi had not yet passed the safe period, he was arranged to be admitted to the intensive care unit. Zhou Yanli had already notified the people below to pay more attention and strengthen monitoring.
After watching the people being sent in, Qin Hezhou was reluctant to leave.
Pei Zhiyu was beside him, their hands still tightly clasped together, the temperature of their palms too high, as if they were trying to transfer energy to each other in this way.
Judging from Qin Mengzhi's current condition, he still needs constant care even after leaving the intensive care unit. It would be counterproductive to ruin his health now.
She really couldn't bear to see Qin Hezhou suffer like this anymore.
But it was too difficult to persuade him to rest, so Pei Zhiyu could only find another "excuse".
"I'm tired." She tugged at Qin Hezhou's hand and whispered, "Come with me to rest for a while."
