Yu Zeyao smiled and let go of her hand. "I'm already half dead, and you're still pushing the responsibility onto me. It doesn't look like you're grateful."
"You didn't save me, which is my greatest gratitude." Jing Yu took his hand back silently. He could still feel the coolness of his palm on his fingertips.
"Just stand there and watch someone die without helping?" Yu Zeyao looked at her with a deep look in his eyes, smiling, "You won't."
He said the three words "you" with such certainty, as if he had seen her clearly. He added, "Even if I am just a stranger now, you will not refuse to save me."
Jing Yu glanced at him, then lowered his eyes and muttered, "You speak as if you know me very well."
Yu Zeyao just curled his lips meaningfully, and seemed to have little strength left, and slowly closed his eyes.
Jing Yu glanced at him, took off his coat and covered him with it.
The scent of shower gel filled his nose, and the man's eyebrows moved slightly, and he opened his eyes again. Jingyu's hands, which were covering him with clothes, had not yet been withdrawn, and his scrutinizing eyes collided with hers. She couldn't resist it, so she took her hands back and whispered, "You take a rest."
Fortunately, he didn't say anything more. It seemed that his spirit was really getting worse and worse, and his eyes closed due to fatigue.
The scent of her body filled his breath, which made him feel unfamiliar. However, this was also the first time that such an unfamiliar scent made him feel at peace.
His life was full of dangers. It was not easy to find peace in a corner after the bloodbath.
——
The car drove all the way and drove directly into the manor. Jingyu had been here once, and this was his residence.
As soon as their car stopped, medical staff came out with a stretcher. Yu Zeyao was carried in.
Everyone inside and outside the manor had a solemn expression.
Jing Yu stood at the gate of the manor for a while with his bag in hand, and turned to look at the long road. Winter weather gets cold very quickly, and now it is already dusk. In a little while, it will be completely dark.
When she was brought here in a daze that day, she didn't know how long the road was. But she knew it when she went back. If she really walked out like this, she would probably have to walk for three or four hours before she could get a taxi.
Just as she was thinking about it, a cold wind blew over, making her thin body shiver.
Zhuang Yan came out and said, "Miss Jing, you are wearing so little, don't stand outside."
Her coat had been draped over Yu Zeyao and she hadn't taken it off.
Jing Yu asked: "Are you treating the wound already?"
"Yes. Don't worry, they are all professional medical staff. They are treating the wound now."
Jing Yu nodded. He didn't want to ask, but after this thought went around in his mind, some words came out of his mouth, "Does he often get injured like this?"
"It's not often. This is only the third time he's been shot." Zhuang Yan said, "Let's be tough first."
only
Jing Yu couldn't understand Zhuang Yan's words. Normal people would have psychological trauma after being shot. But looking at them, it seemed like they were used to it.
"Since there are already professionals taking care of them, I won't go in." Jing Yu has her own bottom line and principles. It is difficult for her to convince herself to associate with criminals. She was saved by him, but pretending to be deaf and dumb and not calling the police about their murder was the only way she could repay him.
"If you don't go in now, Miss Jing may not be able to leave even if she wants to." Zhuang Yan explained: "Sir, this is a special case. In order to block the news, no one is allowed to leave here. So, Miss Jing, please go in."
Jing Yu: "I will not call the police, nor will I spread any news about this."
"I hope Miss Jing understands."
This is restricting her personal freedom.
Jing Yu asked: "So, when can I leave?"
"Wait for the gentleman to wake up. As long as the gentleman nods, Miss Jing can leave at any time."
Jing Yu knew the situation she was in. After a brief pause, she nodded and followed Zhuang Yan in. It was indeed cold outside, and she was wearing so thin that she couldn't stand it for long.
Fortunately, the room was kept at a constant temperature, and her body temperature came back up after she sat in the living room for a while.
The house was large, with famous paintings hanging on the walls. Jing Yu looked around. None of the servants who came and went paid any attention to her. They all hurried upstairs, bringing out basins of blood. Even though she was used to seeing this in the operating room, she still found it shocking.
Jing Yu lost interest in the painting and looked upstairs.
He should be removing the bullet now. But this is not a hospital after all, I don't know if the conditions are too simple.
Jing Yu originally wanted to go up and take a look, but soon gave up the idea. Passing by a servant who hurried down, she stopped him and asked, "How is Mr. Yu's injury? Did you check if his internal organs were injured?"
The servant shook his head. "We don't know about that. The operating room is sealed off. Except for Mr. Zhuang and the medical staff, we are not allowed to go in."
Jing Yu said "Oh". It seemed that they were guarding very tightly as always.
At this moment, the ringing of her cell phone interrupted her thoughts. She took the phone out of her pocket and saw the words "Jinnian" flashing on the screen, and then she remembered about dinner.
As expected, as soon as the phone rang, Qi Jinnian began to complain, "You're missing again? I can't find you anywhere in the house."
"I had something urgent to do and couldn't go back. You can either cook dinner yourself or order takeout." Even if she could go back now, she had no intention of cooking dinner.
"What's the emergency?" Qi Jinnian asked.
"Well... the hospital just had an emergency patient for surgery." Jing Yu made up an excuse, "The teacher asked me to come and observe."
"Okay then. Your work is more important. I'll just have something to eat. When will you be back?"
"We don't know yet." Jing Yu glanced upstairs, "Maybe we have to wait until the patient wakes up from anesthesia."
"Okay, I'll leave the door open for you. And take care of yourself, don't stay out too late."
Jing Yu said "hmm", hung up the phone and sat down again.
After a while, a servant came to invite her to the restaurant for dinner, but today's experience made her have no appetite, so she shook her head and refused. The servant did not force her.
She sat in the living room for a long time, then fell asleep on the sofa. When she woke up again, she was awakened by the sound of footsteps.
Zhuang Yan led the medical staff down from the building. He was instructing people to send the medical staff out.
Jing Yu did not speak immediately, but waited for Zhuang Yan to come back before standing up.
"Miss Jing." Zhuang Yan had already noticed her and greeted her.
