"Ruo Chu, where do you plan to go now? "
"I need to go back to my apartment to pack some things. "
"Okay, you can sleep in the car first. "
Gu Zexi fastened the seatbelts for the two of them and turned the steering wheel as he drove towards the apartment that she had bought.
"..."
It was almost 6:30 pm when Gu Zexi brought her back to the hospital. Only then did he realize that her legs were no longer stable. Her thin lips were tightly pursed and her face was expressionless.
"What happened to your legs? "
His gaze fell on her legs and he saw that she was falling backwards. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly held her.
"Ruo Chu, ruo Chu! "
Gu Ruochu felt her vision blur before her eyes. In the end, she fell into a peaceful state. Even Gu Zexi's voice calling her seemed to fade away.
When she woke up again, it was already late at night.
The room was dark. She moved and realized that her hands, neck, and knees were all bandaged.
She blinked and saw a person standing by the window.
A cold wind blew in from the outside, stirring up the cold temperature. The Sky outside had long turned dark. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
As if telepathically, he slowly turned his head and happened to meet her gaze.
Under the dim light, Huo Nanchen's eyes that could not penetrate the light were like an abyss. For a moment, it was impossible to look straight at him. He knew that she would not want to see her, but he did not expect her to wake up at this time.
"You're awake? "
His voice was very hoarse, afraid of startling her.
His slender fingers trembled faintly in the dark.
I've hurt you. I'm sorry.
I didn't protect you. I'm sorry.
He knew that ever since Xu Yichen's accident, she had been on the verge of breaking down. If it had not been for Gu Zexi's presence today...
Her knees had already been at the resort. She had knelt down twice, causing great damage. However, she had been holding it in until six in the afternoon when she fainted in Gu Zexi's arms.
She was using herself to punish him. Very well, she had done it.
Huo Nanchen pursed his thin lips into a straight line. Under the dim light, he looked incomparably ghastly white.
He saw that Gu Ruochu was struggling to get up. His body seemed to have instinctively walked over to help her up and placed two pillows behind his back.
"Do you want me to turn on the lights? " His hoarse voice rang out.
"There's no need. "
Gu Ruochu sat there. Her knees did not feel any pain and she had never been so calm before. She calmly said, "I kicked Yue Cheng's bones. He should be in the hospital too. Don't you need to accompany him? "
"Ning Tangxi is here. "
"That's true. " Gu Ruochu nodded. There was no extra expression on her face. "Ning Tangxi has finally found her man. The two of them have been through so much and can finally be free and unfettered together. Their pain is only left for me and Yichen to suffer. "
Huo Nanchen did not speak. Perhaps he did not know how to answer, or perhaps he did not want to answer.
Gu Ruochu's eyes flashed, "the doctor came out today and told me that although Yichen managed to save his life, the bullet was successfully removed. However, we lost a lot of blood along the way, so we have to be mentally prepared. Do you know what it means to be mentally prepared?"
The room was dead silent.
Gu ruochu seemed to be talking to herself, "Yanze, he may be paralyzed, he may be in a vegetative state. "
"Huo Nanchen, let me tell you a secret. " Her voice sounded as playful as when they had just started their sweet love affair "actually, your wife had already died in that car accident. I must have resented her too much and reincarnated into your wife's body. "
