"There won't be a next time." Ye Xiao looked at her red eyes, and his heart ached. Thinking of something, he frowned again, "I heard from Tang Song that you were also seriously injured. Why did you get out of bed?"
"You're not seriously injured, and you can walk now."
"Go back and lie down." Ye Xiao cast his eyes on the nurse who followed her in, "Take her back to the ward."
His tone was always unquestionable, making people afraid to say "no". Coupled with his always cold expression towards others, the nurses were still quite afraid of him.
"Ms. Bai, let's go back to the ward to get the injection." The nurse looked at her inquiringly.
"No, just do it here." The nurse was afraid of him, but she was not. She walked around, suddenly lifted the quilt, and lay down on his bed. The bed in the intensive care unit was more than two meters wide, very spacious. There must be room for her.
Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment, and under the quilt, his cold hand was held by her soft hand.
She didn't get close to him, for fear of accidentally touching his wound, but just held his hand from a distance.
He liked it this way, and instead of chasing her away, he tightened her hand and said to the nurse, "Give her an injection."
"OK."
The nurse looked at this heartwarming scene and her heart softened. She had occasionally seen Night Owl before and thought he was extremely cold, but she didn't expect that he would be different in front of a unique woman.
The nurse inserted an injection into her and went out.
There were only two people left in the ward. She turned around and looked at him. Night Owl reminded her: "Don't move your hands. Be careful not to touch the needle."
"It's okay, I've been paying attention." She placed her hands steadily on the pillow, trying not to touch it.
Only then did he feel relieved.
"Night Owl."
"Um?"
"Aren't wedding rings a pair? What about the other one?"
Ye Xiao took out a box from under his pillow. He had kept it in his pocket before, but it fell out when he changed his clothes for the operation and was picked up by the medical staff. He handed the box to her, and she opened it with one hand, looked at the men's ring, and looked at him deeply. Then, she took the ring out of the box.
Bai Suye felt a surge of heat in her heart, "Give me your hand."
Night Owl reached out his hand.
She reverently and silently put the ring gently on his ring finger. It was just a simple exchange of rings, but it was as solemn as a wedding ceremony.
Ye Xiao's gaze deepened, and he used a little force to grab her hand and hold it in his palm. He held it so tightly, so tightly that they would never separate...
"We'll hold the wedding when we recover. You can hold it in Country S or Judea." Ye Xiao fully respected her opinion.
She shook her head.
"What does shaking your head mean?"
She met his eyes and said, "We just need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to sign. As for the wedding, can we just skip it?"
"Don't they say that weddings are what you women look forward to the most?"
Bai Suye leaned her head towards him. When she was about to get close to him, she stopped, not daring to touch him. But he raised his hand and gently pressed her head on his shoulder. He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, "We finally get to be together, why should we give up?"
"I think it's just right now. Why bother mobilizing more troops?"
After ten years of suffering, separation of life and death, even the grand wedding ceremony became unnecessary for them.
The mutual understanding between them has already surpassed those promises made under the cross.
Now, she only hopes to live a peaceful life with him, without any more troubles or surprises.

One month later.
Night Owl was discharged from the hospital successfully.
On the day he was discharged from the hospital, he couldn't wait to meet the two elders of the Bai family. Bai Suye called the old lady and asked her to take him back for dinner.
On the other side, the old lady hung up the phone and said to the old man, "Old man, hurry up and go upstairs to change your clothes."
"Why are you changing clothes?"
"You're going to meet your son-in-law, why are you still dressed so casually?" The old lady had already stood up and said to Aunt Lin, "Aunt Lin, go ask the kitchen to make the dishes lighter. I heard from Su Su that he just had surgery and is still on a diet."
"Okay, old lady, I'll go right away." Aunt Lin joked with a smile, "You are usually dissatisfied with him in many ways, but now that he is really coming, your attitude is different again."
"You're the only one who talks too much." The old lady scolded Aunt Lin, but she was still smiling. Turning her head, she saw the old man still drinking tea, and pulled him again, "Hurry up and change your clothes."
"Let me be clear in advance. I'm not as indecisive as you. I'm not as fence-sitter as you. If I don't like something, I just don't like it." The old man stood up and spoke firmly.
"You talk as if no one cares how much you like it. It's Susu's favorite thing, so it's up to you to do whatever you like." The old lady didn't care.
The old man snorted, ignored her, and went upstairs to change his clothes.
—
The car drove all the way from outside to the entrance of the main building.
Bai Suye got out of the car and saw Ye Xiao go around the trunk and take out two bags.
"What is this?" Bai Suye took a look.
Ye Xiao took her hand and said, "Do you think you can come to meet your future father-in-law and mother-in-law empty-handed?"
Bai Suye smiled and teased him, "I'm not you. I have no experience in this area before, so it's inevitable that I don't understand it."
She was going over old scores with herself.
This is really a headache.
Ye Xiao was still afraid that she felt somewhat uncomfortable, so he wanted to explain.
"Before, with her..."
"Silly boy, I was just teasing you." Bai Suye interrupted him with a smile, and his expression became more serious. "Let's not talk about the past anymore."
Well, thank her for her tolerance!
Night Owl breathed a sigh of relief and held her hand tightly, "Then go in."
When the two were about to go in, a car drove over from a distance and then stopped behind their car.
Bai Suye turned around and said to Ye Xiao, "Ye Qing and the others have arrived."
Ye Xiao stopped and, as expected, he saw Bai Yeqing getting out of the car. The two men looked at each other, then took the initiative to step forward and shook hands.
"Long time no see!" Bai Yeqing spoke first.
Ye Xiao nodded. He had met Ye Qing many times before, but not on occasions like this.
"Auntie!" Just as she was about to say something, a clear voice rang out. Bai Jinyan poked his head out, holding a cute little kid in his arms.
"Dabai, give my sister to me, don't let her fall." Xia Xingchen wanted to take the child into his arms, but Bai Jinyan had already moved out of the car holding his sister.
Bai Suyue hurried over and held the little sister in her arms.
Xia Xingchen got out of the car and saw the child in her arms. She breathed a sigh of relief and patted Dabai's little head, "Little troublemaker!"
"Sister." She greeted Bai Suye. It's been a long time since we last met. She looked much better now than before. Xia Xingchen was also very pleased to see her in such good condition.
