Jiang Xu opened his mouth and didn't know how to reply. He felt that Jiang Wenrui was a little different today, but he couldn't tell what was different. In the end, he could only leave dejectedly.
At six o'clock the next morning, Xing Su slowly woke up. Her unfocused gaze lingered on the white light bulb on the roof for a long time before her vision slowly cleared. There was no part of her body that did not hurt, and her head was dizzy, as if someone had thrown a rock at her head.
Xing Su tried to move her limbs and realized that she could still feel them. She heaved a long sigh of relief. It was fine as long as she did not lose an arm or a leg. She moved her body gently, but the intense pain made her give up very quickly. From the corner of her eye, she saw a figure, but due to the dimness of the ward, she could not tell who was sitting by the bed.
Perhaps it was because Xing Su's actions made a slight sound when she moved, the person who had been sitting on the chair looked up. When their eyes met, Xing Su was stunned. She did not understand what had happened during the time she fainted, let alone why Brother Xiao Rui was here.
Seeing that Xing Su was awake, Jiang Wenrui immediately got up and came to the bed. He bent down, and right on the heels of that, a slight pressure came from Xing Su's forehead. It was Jiang Wenrui's hand on forehead. Feeling that Xing Su's temperature was still normal, he retracted his hand. "You're awake?" When he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse.
Xing Su widened her eyes and looked at him in confusion. "Why are you here? Is this a hospital?"
Jiang Wenrui answered Xing Su at the same time as he pressed the nurse's bell. "Wea re in a hospital. Your grandfather guarded you for the entire night. I was afraid that his body wouldn't be able to take it, so I let him go back first. How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
With Jiang Wenrui's reminder, Xing Su remembered what had happened before. She grabbed Jiang Wenrui's arm and asked anxiously, "Where's that person? How is he? Did he survive?"
Looking at the anxious Xing Su, Jiang Wenrui felt as if something was sprouting in his heart. The two of them stared at each other for a long time before Jiang Wenrui replied, "He's fine. He's not as badly injured as you."
Hearing this, a relieved smile appeared on Xing Su's face. She said happily, "That's good… It's good that he's fine."
Jiang Wenrui stared at Xing Su for a while. His long eyelashes drooped slightly, and his voice was very light as he asked, "When you saved him, did you think about the consequences?"
Xing Su moved her numb waist and replied nonchalantly, "I've thought about it. In any case, the worst case scenario is that both of us are gone. However, that situation doesn't allow people to think too much. I can't just watch him fall off the cliff and do nothing, so I took a gamble. Now the results show that I won the bet." After saying that, Xing Su raised her chin and looked at Jiang Wenrui proudly.
Jiang Wenrui was speechless.
The door of the ward behind her was pushed open. A nurse walked in from outside and did a simple checkup on Xing Su. After ensuring everything was normal, she smiled and said to Xing Su, "Impressive. You didn't even say a word even though you are so seriously injured. You're the bravest patient I've ever seen."
Xing Su smiled. How could it not hurt? It was just that she was used to enduring.
The nurse helped Xing Su change the IV drip. Then, she glanced at Jiang Wenrui and whispered into Xing Su's ear, "Your boyfriend is so handsome and treats you well. He was watching over you last night…"
Boyfriend?! Xing Su immediately reacted and hurriedly explained, "No, you've misunderstood…"
After listening to Xing Su's words, the nurse widened her eyes in surprise. Then, her face suddenly turned red. She secretly glanced at Jiang Wenrui and whispered to Xing Su, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. But since he's not your boyfriend, can you help me get his WeChat?"
Perhaps it was because of the aftereffects, Xing Su actually agreed without thinking. "Sure, I happen to have his WeChat. I'll send it to you."
"Thank you." The nurse looked grateful. Then, she took out her phone and prepared to add Xing Su on WeChat. Xing Su was also looking for her cell phone everywhere.
Jiang Wenrui finally said, "What's wrong? Does your hand not hurt anymore?" His tone was much colder than before. Xing Su looked up and noticed that his expression was not too good.
The nurse seemed to have understood something. She immediately put away her cell phone and said, "Sorry, I was rude." After saying that, she fled the ward.
