Xiao Jing stood in front of the ward and looked at the circle of doctors and nurses, but she didn"t immediately go in.
After everyone checked their stats, they all quietly left.
The room fell silent.
Xiao Jing pushed open the heavy door. There was a smell of blood in the air that was hard to ignore. She walked very carefully, afraid that her unintentional actions would wake up the person sleeping on the bed.
Shen Chengfeng could hear the footsteps approaching him. Perhaps it was because he was too familiar with them, but he was certain who it was.
Just as Xiao Jing walked over to the bed, before she could say anything, the person on the bed with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes.
Shen Chengfeng"s eyes were hazy, as if a layer of mist was gathering around him.
Xiao Jing crouched down, and her fingertips could not help but tremble as she held his hand. Perhaps it was due to excessive blood loss, but his hand was even colder than before by a few degrees.
Shen Chengfeng gripped her hand tightly and before he could say anything, the other party had already extended his head over.
Xiao Jing"s gentle kiss landed on his forehead. It was like an untraceable strand of feather, light and shallow.
Shen Chengfeng"s heart skipped a beat. He wanted to sit up but he was too tired to muster up his strength. He let her hold his head and cried like a lost child who suddenly found his parents.
Xiao Jing"s nose reddened, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes into his hair. She gently stroked his chin, "It"s good that you"re back. It"s good that you"re back."
Shen Chengfeng held her hand and his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat. What should he say?
What could he say?
Xiao Jing stood up and looked at the small knife beside her. She picked it up without any hesitation and immediately slashed it.
Shen Chengfeng sat up reflexively, grabbed her hand and cut his own hand without any explanation. Blood seeped through his fingers as he frowned, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Jing solemnly said, "I"ll help you apply the medicine first. Your wound is very deep, you can"t just let it go like this."
Shen Chengfeng stared straight at her face as though he did not want her to continue doing so.
Xiao Jing was stunned. She didn"t understand why he was looking at her like that. She touched her face with some hesitation. "Is there something wrong with that?"
Shen Chengfeng gradually let go of her hand. He had to remain calm. Too much words would hurt her at this moment. If he spoke too softly, he would have to ignore him just by relying on his mental circuitry.
Xiao Jing dripped her blood into his wounds. Seeing the blood merge together at a speed visible to the naked eye, she quickly took out some disinfectant and cleaned the wounds before sewing them up. Finally, she applied a hemostatic and wrapped them with a few loops of special gauze.
Shen Chengfeng did not say anything as his eyes were fixated on her neat movements.
After Xiao Jing finished dealing with all of this, she sat down obediently.
Shen Chengfeng sat up and their gazes met.
The entire room was strangely quiet and uncomfortable, almost as if it was calm before the storm.
After staring at it for about five minutes, Shen Chengfeng took out something from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Xiao Jing knew that he must have seen this, so she didn"t continue hiding it. "You already know?"
"I thought about not giving you any medicine after that day, but first, I was afraid of hurting your body. Secondly, I felt that the time was ripe for us to take the next step, but later on, I felt that I was being hasty. After all, you are in the army camp right now, so I know exactly what kind of days it is. It"s not suitable for —"
"Is the captain unhappy?"
Xiao Jing directly interrupted his chat.
The second half of Shen Chengfeng"s words were blocked. He looked at her with a burning gaze.
Xiao Jing, on the other hand, had an innocent smile on her face. "You don"t want to?"
Shen Chengfeng raised his head and gently rubbed her head, "Do you know what we will face next?"
Xiao Jing shook her head. Even in the face of a mountain of swords and a sea of flames, she was still fearless.
Shen Chengfeng sighed, "I am about to face how I should take care of you, how I should protect you and how I should hide you from the outside world. This problem is very heavy, so heavy that I want to tell everyone to share my unspeakable excitement with me."
"…"
Shen Chengfeng stood up and without any care for the wounds on his body, he pulled her into his embrace without any hesitation.
Xiao Jing held onto his waist, and said nervously, "Captain"s wounds will open."
Shen Chengfeng did not seem to mind as he held her face again and again, seriously stroking her precious treasure. He raised his hand and his words were lacking, "Can I touch her?"
Xiao Jing lowered her eyes and smiled. She picked up his hand and placed it on her stomach. "Did you manage to touch it?"
With nothing below his palm, Shen Chengfeng was curious as to what exactly was inside.
"BOOM!" "BOOM!" "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The tightly shut door was forcefully pushed open. Shen Chengyi stared at the two of them expressionlessly.
Xiao Jing heard the movement behind her and hurriedly put the items on the table into her pocket.
Shen Chengyi was very satisfied with their expressions. Yes, he had purposely come in to disturb them.
Shen Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and the danger signal in his eyes was very strong. He almost wanted to kill his own brother who did not know any better.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
I came to check it out for you. Do you think it"s bright on my head?
Would I care for the role of the light bulb? "
Shen Chengyi walked up to him in high spirits and ruffled his clothes. Looking at his well treated wounds, he nodded and said, "It"s alright."
"Second Brother, have you been wanting to reestablish an inst.i.tute with a different address?"
Shen Chengfeng was straightforward with his threat.
Shen Chengyi coughed lightly, "Third brother, even if you wanted to destroy my place, Colonel Xiao would not agree. After all, most of the information here is related to you."
"Is it important?"
"What do you say?"
"Without these materials, don"t even mention two years, whether you can live until next year is an extravagant hope."
Shen Chengyi proudly patted his chest and said, "Praise me quickly. If you praise me, I will not care about the past and will save your life."
Shen Chengfeng stood up from the bed. Even though he had lost a lot of blood and his face was pale, he was still walking steadily.
Shen Chengyi felt a sense of danger. He felt that in the next moment, his own brother would use the hand that he thought was arrogant to give him a distance from where he should be and then let him think about life even more.
Shen Chengfeng silently approached the other party step by step. He did not utter a sound, but he felt like he was being suppressed by a thousand jin of iron.
The room was quiet, so quiet that every step he took was amplified by an infinite amount of sound.
Shen Chengyi"s expression did not change at all when he saw Mt. Tai crash. He took a step back and said with certainty, "I am only here as a certified doctor to see my patient. Why are you staring at me like that?"
Is it taboo to avoid doctors? "
Shen Chengfeng still approached the other party without saying a word.
Shen Chengyi swallowed his saliva and forcefully pulled Xiao Jing in front of him. He said righteously, "Tell him, if he threatens his doctor like that again, and this doctor is his brother, he will be d.a.m.ned if he continues to do such unfaithful and unfilial things."
Xiao Jing smiled. "Sir, you should go out."
Shen Chengyi weighed the pros and cons. Even though his third brother"s situation was not such that he could fight with him, he might end up settling the score with him later on. This fellow"s mental fort.i.tude was even greater than a needle"s eye.
Shen Chengfeng saw his second brother disappear in a flash and sat back onto the bed.
Xiao Jing placed her hands under his arms, trying to put him back on the bed.
However, Shen Chengfeng grabbed her hand, his eyes burning, "Let"s stay here."
Xiao Jing nodded, "Yes, I won"t leave."
"Don"t leave no matter who comes."
Shen Chengfeng closed his eyes. The dizziness caused him to lose consciousness.
The room was quiet again.
Xiao Jing sat beside the bed. The humidifier in the room was quietly evaporating the mist. She lowered her head to look at the clock on the wall. It was already late at night.
"Dong, dong, dong."
At midnight, the footsteps in the corridor came closer.
Xiao Jing was originally sleeping on the bed, but the moment she heard the voice, she abruptly woke up.
The door to the ward behind her was pushed open from the outside. With a worried expression, Yan Jun pushed the door open and entered, but she didn"t expect that Xiao Jing would be here.
The two of them looked at each other somewhat embarra.s.sedly, as the scene in front of them froze.
After some hesitation, Yan Jun closed the door of the ward. She took off her drenched military coat and hung it on the clothes rack. Then, she slowly walked forward and said, "Is he alright?"
"There"s nothing wrong with it, and the blood has stopped. It should be fully healed in two days."
Xiao Jing reported in detail.
"It stopped bleeding so quickly?"
Yan Jun could not believe it. He subconsciously lifted the corner of Shen Chengfeng"s s.h.i.+rt to confirm that the bandages were not stained with blood. She was overjoyed as she asked, "Did his second brother"s medicine have an effect on it?"
Xiao Jing didn"t want to point it out either. Because of herself, she nodded in accordance to Yan Jun"s words. "That should be the case."
"That"s good then. It"s getting late as well. You"ve been staying here for more than half a day. You should rest for a while next door. Leave this place to me."
Just like that, Yan Jun sat down on the stool.
Xiao Jing was wondering if she should bring a stool over to sit in a row and chat with her future mother-in-law. But now that they met, there was an unspeakable strangeness to it. She felt that she still needed to leave behind a good image of herself obeying orders.
At night, everything was quiet.
"Gu gu gu gu."
A small bird stood at the window, pecking at the small leaves.
Yan Jun lay on the bed with a thin scarf covering his head. He was so drowsy that he wanted to fall asleep.
The early morning air was somewhat sweet, and the person sleeping on the bed also gradually woke up.
After a whole night of sleep, Shen Chengfeng woke up and sat up straight like a normal person. He subconsciously grabbed the person lying on the bed.
Feeling that someone was fiddling with her hat, Yan Jun sat up sleepily.
Shen Chengfeng wanted to give her a surprise kiss, but the moment she was about to raise her head, a kiss landed on her forehead.
"Baji!"
Yan Jun was overwhelmed as he covered his forehead with his hands. He blinked his eyes and used all his strength to twist his thighs. What was her son doing just now?
Are you acting coquettish with her?
Shen Chengfeng frowned and asked, "Mother, why are you here?"
Yan Jun stared at the doubt in his eyes. Did this kid recognize the wrong person?
Shen Chengfeng lifted the quilt and opened the door to the ward with wide strides. Sure enough, the kid was sitting on a chair with his back against the wall as he fell asleep.
Xiao Jing heard footsteps beside her ear. She woke up with vigilance, and her vision gradually became clear. She quivered and straightened her body, but he was already within reach.
Shen Chengfeng sighed, "Why did you fall asleep just by lying here?"
Xiao Jing was about to say something when she noticed General Yan Jun, who was staring at her with hidden bitterness. For a moment, she felt as if something was stuck in her throat. Why was the future mother-in-law staring at her beautiful appearance like this?
"Still sleepy?"
Shen Chengfeng stood up and followed her gaze to look at his mother, who had not said a word from the beginning till the end.
Yan Jun shook her head. She seemed to be self-pitying. "It seems that I have a wife and have forgotten my mother."
"I"m quite satisfied with you being able to achieve such a level of enlightenment."
Old Madam Shen"s sonorous voice came from the other end of the corridor.
The three pairs of eyes looked over at the same time. The madame brought a group of people with her as she majestically walked over. It was difficult to conceal the joy on her face.
After swallowing these superfluous words, Yan Jun had said that it was not easy for a daughter-in-law to become a wife in ten years. Now, she had just sat on a hot stool and was being chased off the stage by her mother-in-law.
Old Madam Shen was full of smiles as she said, "Looks like it"s not as serious as the report. I can even get out of bed now."
"Mother, how is it not serious?"
"This is a penetrating wound. He might die, not to mention a body that can"t take medicine."
Yan Jun asked worriedly.
"I can see that the situation is pretty good. We seniors shouldn"t stay here either. Let the juniors talk more. It seems that the two of us have a lot of private things to talk about."
The smile on Madam Shen"s face became increasingly brilliant. Of course, the premise was to ignore her bright eyes. She couldn"t wait to land on Xiao Jing"s stomach and see a flower.
"He"s injured and cannot touch the water. Go get some water and wipe him. Look at the blood on his neck. It"s dried up into a lump."
Xiao Jing quickly nodded. "I understand."
"Okay, you still want to stay here and work as a light bulb?"
Old Lady Shen stood in front of the elevator and shouted.
She stood beside the old man and asked hesitantly, "Mother, it seems that you really like this child, Xiao Jing."
"Don"t you like it?"
Old Lady Shen asked back.
Yan Jun looked at the two figures reflected on the wall of the elevator and shook his head. "At first, I liked this child, but my love was only a very ordinary one. It"s not because of the awkward relations.h.i.+p between us as we are now."
"Why is your relations.h.i.+p so awkward?"
Old Lady Shen asked even though she knew the answer.
I do not know whether I am a daughter-in-law to him, or a mother and child. If I am to him, if I am to a daughter-in-law, there are some proverbs that cannot be spoken, if it is a mother-child relations.h.i.+p, but he is not related to me by blood. My words cannot be too heavy, and naturally, they cannot be too light.
"Relax, you will like her in the future. You should also treat her better in this period of time. After all, it"s a special period."
Old Lady Shen walked into the elevator.
As Yan Jun followed behind him, the words of the madame echoed in his mind. A special period of time?
Yes, it"s going to be a special time, of course.
The corners of Madam Shen"s lips curled upwards. She couldn"t help but feel overjoyed. All she had to do was tell this woman beside her that her intelligence had been reversed. Can you keep your eyes wide open when you look at people?
Inside the ward, the smell of blood had completely disappeared.
Xiao Jing walked into the washroom and filled a basin with water. She specifically put in some special powder, stirred it, and then twisted a clean towel. Her face was flushed red as she stood in front of the bed.
Shen Chengfeng watched as her face turned red. He took her hand and took her towel, "There"s no need to do these things. We"ll be fine after we wash up."
"That won"t do. That wound of yours is too deep, and if you take a bath you will get infected. Your body is already special, so many medicines cannot be used. If you were infected again, it will be a long time before you can recover."
Shen Chengfeng had no choice but to take off his clothes and let her carefully wipe off the blood on his body.
Xiao Jing was very careful. She tried her best to avoid the wounds on her body. She couldn"t help but ask, "Was the situation serious at that time?"
"The bullets are so dense, no one managed to escape unscathed."
Shen Chengfeng patted her hand and said lovingly, "Fortunately, I did not send you to follow me."
"If I had followed you, perhaps you would not have suffered such a serious injury."
Xiao Jing once again washed the towel and wiped it for him.
"It"s just a minor injury."
Xiao Jing stopped twisting the towel in her hands and glanced at the carefree man in the corner of her eyes. She nodded and said, "Yes, in your eyes, as long as you hold a breath, the injuries are small injuries."
"My skin is rough and my flesh is thick. I can"t die from even a small injury. On the other hand, if I were to see a cut on your body, it would be fatal in my eyes."
Shen Chengfeng spread out her hands and looked at the healed wound. His eyes were serious, "Don"t be so silly in the future, it"s not like you"re a drug."
"To others, I may not have any special value, but to you, I am a panacea."
Overstatement --
It"s still 7 AM today. I think everyone is used to this time. I love you guys.
