"You're crying?" He slowly opened his eyes. He sensed that something was amiss with me, so he asked.
"Nope." I turned my head and looked away, blushing a little.
"Where am I?" He looked around and realized that his wounds had all been covered with gauze. He frowned, then lay back down.
"In the military police hospital, your uncle contacted you. This doctor is very famous for treating external injuries. You can rest easy here." I wanted to reach out and grab his hand, but for some reason, I couldn't do it. I felt a little awkward, so … Let it go.
For the first time ever, we were silent for a moment. Then, our eyes met and we stared at each other for a while. I sensed that there were still many complex emotions in his eyes, and so did I. We looked at each other in silence for a moment, then looked away at the same time.
"Xu Shubei, you don't have to accompany me here anymore." He opened his mouth, but his words were a bit harsh on me. "Xu Shubei, I'm sorry. I've harmed you."
"You want to harm me? What do you mean? " I lowered my head, my heart aching, and asked softly while biting my lips.
"I might not be able to make the promises I made earlier. I've implicated you in vain to conceive this child." Sheng Yun laid on the bed and weakly said. His body was probably still in pain, so he frowned heavily.
"A game has its risks. The moment I decided to bet with you, I had already prepared for the worst. At most, I'll raise this child myself, so you don't have to worry about it. "Take good care of your health." I quickly recovered my composure and said calmly, "Besides, if you didn't publicly announce our relationship back then, I might not have been able to escape Huang Xiaoxiang's scheme against me." If it's because of the child, you don't have to apologize. "
"No, just as I said before, my child …" Leave it to me. " He shook his head, looked at me and said, "It's just that I might not be able to give you more benefits. You've seen everything."
My heart, which had been surging with emotion, cooled as we talked, and there was an indescribable disappointment in me.
I didn't expect that the first thing he would talk to me about when he woke up would be the child's future stay.
From the moment I accompanied him into the Sheng Family, to the moment I helped him out filled with scars, I subconsciously already saw us as a whole. I was in pain from his pain, and I was heartbroken because of his heartbreak, I even thought that if he woke up, I would give him a hug without hesitation, and I would do my best to warm him up so that he wouldn't feel so cold. I would let him know that there's someone in this world who truly cared about him, who cared about him.
But I didn't think that when he woke up, he was talking about something so practical. This question quickly pulled me back to the cold reality. My heart was filled with passion and emotion, as though it had suddenly been locked in a freezer and sealed away. My head, which was originally filled with emotions, quickly returned to my senses. In an instant, he felt as if his throat had been strangled, and he was no longer able to maintain a soft and gentle posture.
"Talk about it when you've recovered, okay?" I looked at him, my eyes unperturbed, my tone abnormally calm, but my heart... It still hurt slightly.
"Okay, I'm sorry, but thank you." He glanced at me and said with some difficulty, "It's been hard on you today. I'm fine now. You should go back and rest."
"Don't you need me?" My heart hurt even more. I looked at him and pursed my lips as I asked.
I clearly saw that there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but very quickly, I heard him reply, "No need, there's a nurse here, so I'll be fine."
I thought he would look forward to my company. I thought I would be the closest person to him at this moment. Unexpectedly, it turned out that … Not so.
My dignity prevented me from remaining humbly in my original spot even after being chased away. I stood up and looked at him with a faint smile, "Since that's the case, then … I really am leaving. "
"Where are you going?" Are you tired? " Just when I was about to leave, Tai Ziqian pushed open the door and entered. He probably heard me say that I wanted to leave, so he asked.
"Ziqian, you're here." I turned and gave Tai Ziqian a big smile. In fact, if I didn't laugh, I was afraid I might cry.
Tai Ziqian was slightly shocked, he nodded and smiled: "Hmm, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to deal with it alone, so I came over to take a look."
"No need, all of you can go back. I will be discharged tomorrow." I turned around and looked at him. His face was dark.
"You're severely injured, but heal up here first. Don't try to be brave." Tai Ziqian glanced at Sheng Yun indifferently, then said indifferently, "Don't worry about the medical fees, I've already paid up."
"No need, I can still afford this small amount of money." I don't know why, but from Sheng Yun's words, I felt a hint of anger.
"I didn't mean it that way. You misunderstand." Tai Ziqian looked at Sheng Yun and said lightly. He then turned to me and said in a much softer tone, "You should be very tired, right? I'll send you back to rest. Here, I'll get him a companion. "
"I said you don't have to worry!" Sheng Yun roared in anger.
"Logically, I should call you cousin. But since you were young, you have never given me face, so I can't call you brother." However, we are cousins after all. I can't bear to see you like this, so I don't do it out of sympathy or pity you. It's just that there are difficulties in being human, so you don't need to be too glass-hearted. Tai Ziqian said to Sheng Yun.
"Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate your kindness. If I can get up again in the future, I will return it to Ben Gali. Cousin, if there's nothing else, please help me send my fiancee back. Sheng Yun said word by word. His eyes were still cold, especially when he said the words "fiancee". He emphasized the word as if to remind him.
"I'm not going. I'll sleep here tonight." It was the three meaningful words that made me make the decision to leave at that moment.
Through those three words, I instantly saw through his disguise and weakness. I knew he was one of those people who, even if they were heartbroken, had to hold on to what no one could trample on. Unfortunately, I was one of those people too. So I know him better than anyone.
"The hospital is not a place for a pregnant woman to stay! I told you to go back and rest, so you went back to rest. " Sheng Yun said loudly as he looked at me with a cold gaze.
"I won't go back. You are so capable, so awesome. If you have the guts, then get up and tie me up!" I laughed, walked over to his bed, and raised my eyebrows at him with some pride.
"You …" He tried to struggle, but in the end, he was still seriously injured. As he moved, his whole body was in great pain. So he gave me a hard look.
"What about me? I must stay here at night. Moreover, before you can still stand up, I will accompany you no matter if it is day or night. It is decided." If you have the guts, either stand up and chase me away, or obediently accept my orders! " I smiled smugly at him, lifted his nose, then deliberately patted his face and said, "Good boy, wait here for me for a while, I'll send Ziqian out."
"Xu Shubei!" He probably hadn't expected that I would make fun of him like this, but at the moment, he didn't have the strength to fight back. He couldn't do anything except stare at me.
I winked at Tai Ziqian, signalling him to follow me out. Tai Ziqian looked at Sheng Yun on the bed, smiled meaningfully, and then followed me out.
"Shubei, I can tell that you've been sincere towards him." The moment they walked out, Tai Ziqian said, "But I really can't see what's so good about that guy. He has a bad temper, is tough and has a tough personality. He doesn't look gentle, so why would he attract you?"
"No, there are some things that are not as difficult to explain as you think." I smiled faintly and said to him, "Why are you guys so close despite being cousins? Logically speaking, you should have some understanding of each other. "
Tai Ziqian shook his head and said, "No, he's been following grandpa since he was young, and grandpa has very strict control over him. It's very difficult for us to see the top, and even if we do meet him, his attitude is very cold. I don't like his haughty manner, but I admit that he does have something that no one else could have done. "
"If you don't like him, why did you help him today?" I asked again.
"This is the first time I've seen him so pitiful. But even in such a pitiful situation, he doesn't give in at all. I really admire him." Tai Ziqian said with a smile. He then put his hand on my shoulder and said to me with a smile, "Do you really not need me here? You may not be able to rest well in the hospital because you are pregnant. "
"No need, I'm not that delicate." I smiled and said, "You can go back. I'm fine."
As we were talking in the corridor, we suddenly heard a thump in the ward, a loud sound that startled the passing nurse so much that she rushed in to take a look, then stuck her head out and shouted at me, "The patient's family member in bed 23, the patient has fallen!"
