Gong Ou sat in a wheelchair and looked at her steadily.
Too long silence.
Shi Xiaonian became a little uneasy, "If you are angry, just scold me. After scolding me, you will feel better."
He needs to vent like this now and shouldn't keep his emotions bottled up inside.
For a long time, Gong Ou stared at her before speaking, with a low and magnetic voice, "I'm not angry, I'm just thinking, maybe you are right."
"What?" Shi Xiaonian was puzzled.
"Respect Life."
Gong Ou threw out four words. The words coming out of his mouth were like a physical education teacher suddenly throwing out a great philosophical proposition, which made people confused.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him in confusion, wondering why he suddenly said these four words, "You..."
Gong Ou reached out and touched her long hair, his fingertips scratched her forehead, his dark pupils were deep, "You just woke up, rest for a while, I'll be here with you."
"Are you worried?"
Shi Xiaonian looked at him worriedly.
"You are my only concern, as long as you live well in the future." Gong Ou stared at her, his voice was very deep, and he spoke a little harder, "Don't try to break your promise again."
Shi Xiaonian lay there and stared at his injured face, then nodded, "Okay."
She wouldn't let him hurt her again, absolutely not.
…
Shi Xiaonian experienced premature birth, bleeding, and struggled to survive. Although she was extremely weak, she recovered well after a few days.
She could sit up from the bed, started taking some non-liquid food, and her complexion improved a lot.
She seemed to recover faster than Gong Ou. He suffered a gunshot wound in his waist and did not receive the most timely treatment. Although it was not life-threatening, he was still in a wheelchair for the time being.
Sunlight filtered in from the window, and there was a thin sound. Shi Xiaonian turned around and saw rows of cellophane cranes hanging in front of the window.
When the wind blows, the paper cranes bump against each other, reflecting countless colors in the sunlight.
The workmanship of those paper cranes is very average, really average.
Shi Xiaonian smiled and looked around the quiet room. Gong Ou was not there. It was rare that she happened to get up and take a walk.
She sat up from the bed and stretched out her hand to beat her shoulders. Her back was sore from lying down all the time. Gong Ou himself refused to stay in bed but forced her to lie down every day.
Shi Xiaonian stretched out her legs and got out of bed. As soon as she stepped on the ground, her legs were limp and her head began to feel dizzy. She quickly held on to the cabinet next to her.
I haven't walked on the ground for so long that my feet are weak.
Shi Xiaonian stood for a while before she felt her blood surge and she felt a little more comfortable. She tied up her messy hair and walked out.
For how many days, she didn't have a chance to see the little pumpkin.
Shi Xiaonian opened the door and went out. She was still staying at the house of the woman with a scarred face. After a fierce battle with Lancaster, it was not suitable for her and Gong Ou to move around. The Gong family quickly sent a large number of people to guard the house.
The Lancastrian side is also stationed, but there has been no big movement. It may be that the last fierce battle has weakened their energy a lot and they have little morale.
Shi Xiaonian walked out of the room and walked down slowly. She didn't know which room Little Pumpkin was placed in. She looked downstairs and saw Gong Ou sitting alone in the middle of the hall, holding a tablet in his hand. Computers, the air is full of floating holographic information.
It turned out that he was in the hall, so how could she go to see Little Pumpkin? If she was caught, she would be severely punished.
When Xiaonian turned around and wanted to sneak back into the room and continue to be a well-behaved and obedient wife, Feng De's voice suddenly came from downstairs, "Master, you have been reading this list for a long time. Let me take down the computer." ."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian stopped on the stairs and looked down. What she saw floating in the air was a photo. She was not familiar with those photos, but she knew them all.
It was the bodyguards who came with them to Area 13 this time.
Shi Xiaonian's eyes dimmed. When she was in better health, she pestered Feng De and asked many questions. Feng De then told her that in order to allow Gong Ou to come back and see her, the bodyguards who were supposed to have withdrawn made a collective decision. return.
Lancaster deployed people in Area 13, and the number of responders who picked up her as a sex ticket that night far exceeded the Gong family. They collectively attacked the underground waterway.
She just knew that there was a huge disparity in strength, so she asked everyone to withdraw, but everyone returned forcibly for her and Gong Ou. The ending is good to say, defeating more with less, boosting morale, and completely annihilating Lancaster's people in District 13. .
But the result was also sad. There were only seven survivors who returned with Gong Ou, and they were all injured.
The severity of the battle was beyond what she could have imagined while lying on the operating table.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou downstairs, watching him quietly staring at the photos. Although she couldn't see his face, she thought Gong Ou was greatly touched this time.
He has lived in a noble family since he was a child, and the first education he received was the distinction between classes. He has always only cared about those and other people in his eyes. He is used to being aloof and accustomed to others working for him.
Such a person actually said the words "respect life" in front of her. He must have been shocked when these bodyguards followed him back to the underground sewer without hesitation.
Feng De said that just because it was voluntary, everyone fought with their lives. No one expected to survive until the end, so that they could win with less. Otherwise, Gong Ou would not be able to see her alive.
Thinking this, Shi Xiaonian slowly walked downstairs. Feng De was the first to notice her standing there, a little surprised.
Shi Xiaonian walked towards Gong Ou, reached out and tapped on the tablet to collect all the photos. The air was empty and there was nothing left.
Gong Ou sat in the wheelchair and turned his head dissatisfied. When he saw Shi Xiaonian standing there, he became even more dissatisfied, "Why did you get down? Who allowed you to get out of bed!"
Upon seeing this, Feng De picked up the tablet and turned around silently to leave.
"I know you feel bad, but you are still injured, don't be too sad." Shi Xiaonian stood there and said softly.
Gong Ou turned his face away and said coldly, "How can I have time to feel sorry for others? You think too much!"
If she wasn't sad, wouldn't she stay with her instead of sitting here looking at these photos
He thinks she is stupid or blind.
It is said that one person's sadness can only be alleviated by another person's even greater misery. Shi Xiaonian walked to a nearby chair and sat down, looking at his stern side face and said, "At that time, I just couldn't stand too many people sacrificing for me. , I don’t feel that I am so noble that they need to spend so much life to save me.”
Hearing this, Gong Ou's eyes froze, and he slowly turned his head to look at her, his thin lips slightly opened, "You should hate me, these are all arranged by me."
"At that time, I only knew how to hate myself." Shi Xiaonian laughed bitterly.
“…”
Gong Ou looked at her silently, with embarrassment in his eyes. He had to admit that there were some truths that he only understood at this age.
"I don't dare to blame anyone, because it's all for my own good. In fact, I don't want to hurt anyone, but things happened to develop like that." Shi Xiaonian wrung his hands together and raised his eyes to look at Gong Ou's. Face.
What she said is probably what Gong Ou is thinking now. When a group of people fight for you through life and death, how can you not be touched.
"But after this time, I survived on the operating table, no, I survived in that damp and cold stone room. I have figured out a lot." Shi Xiaonian said lightly.
"Figured out what?"
Gong Ou asked, his black eyes staring at her closely.
"Guess." Shi Xiaonian smiled lightly.
"..." Gong Ou's face turned dark. Is it interesting to joke with him at this time
Si Xiaonian sat there, her smile deepened, and she said softly, "Actually, no matter how much I blame myself or feel guilty, or drive myself crazy, it won't help. I can't exchange for their lives. The only thing I can do is to prevent their efforts from going in vain." , I want to live well, live together for their sake, take care of their families, and never let myself fall."
After hearing this, Gong Ou realized that Shi Xiaonian had turned around to comfort him, but his face did not get better and became more and more ugly.
Seeing him like this, Shi Xiaonian was a little worried, "Gong Ou, don't trap yourself like me."
She knew very well what kind of mental torture she had experienced at that time, and she did not want Gong Ou to become like her at that time.
"I'm not like you." Gong Ou said coldly.
“…”
After a moment of silence, Gong Ou stared at her and added, "I just hate myself. Why didn't I tell you this in the first place."
She said it well.
But when she needed these words the most, he failed to say them.
Shi Xiaonian was stunned, "Gong Ou, that's all over. I'm fine now, aren't I? You should be fine too."
Don't trap yourself, don't be unable to get out.
"I know what I should do." Gong Ou said in a deep voice, "Destroying Lancaster is the best explanation for them, but..."
"But what?"
Gong Ou looked at her deeply and said in a low voice, "But I will never use anyone's life as a step on the chessboard."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect Gong Ou to say such words. Maybe this time, they had all experienced a life and death test.
She always thought that the two of them had many different ideas, but she never expected that one day they would meet across from each other.
Shi Xiaonian raised her hand to touch his face and smiled, "Look, our Gong Ou has grown up."
What the hell is she saying that her son has grown up
"Go away." Gong Ou pushed her hand away with a dark face.
Shi Xiaonian had no strength to begin with and her whole body was limp. After being pushed like this, her whole body tilted to the side. Gong Ou quickly caught her and looked at her in horror, "How are you? Feng De! Call the doctor!"
"It's okay, it's okay." Shi Xiaonian waved her hands quickly and said, "I just don't have the strength, it's okay."
"Who told you to get out of bed? Get back here!"
Gong Ou stepped forward and was about to hug her. When he leaned forward, he realized that he was still sitting in a wheelchair and couldn't hold her at all. He immediately slapped the wheelchair in frustration, "Damn it!" (To be continued)
