Lantern: Behold the Bayonet

Chapter 26: Bed rest

Views:

That day, Chu Ci supported Han Yue and walked for more than two hours before getting out of the winding mountain road.

As soon as they walked out of the signal shielding section, Han Yue's cell phone rang crazily. There were more than 20 missed calls, some from the Han family, some from the Military Commission, some from the old comrades of Commander Han, some from Pei Zhi and others...

Han Yue didn't have time to pick up any of them, so he passed away because of excessive blood loss from the wound.

So he didn't know that during the time he was trapped in the valley, Old Commander Han had been controlled in Taijiang, Zhejiang Province under half-monitoring and half-protection by the people above. Qiang has been secretly transferred to the home of his mistress A Ling.

Everyone was distraught over his disappearance for a few hours.

Han Yue thought that he would be sent to the hospital, but when he woke up, he saw the ceiling of Chu Ci's bedroom.

"Are you awake?" Pei Zhi sat on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed, holding his mobile phone to send text messages without looking up, his thumb moving quickly on the keyboard, "Old Ren said you should wake up at this time, fortunately he Tell the truth."

"... Where's Chu Ci?"

"study."

Han Yue raised his head with great effort, only to see that his right leg was tightly bound into a rice dumpling. He took a breath and said in a low voice, "I want water."

Pei Zhi sent a text message without looking up, saying, "Wait until I finish."

"I'm going to die of thirst, what are you still doing with your broken text messages?!"

"This is not a broken text message," Pei Zhi said, "I must immediately inform your father, your father, your mother, your relatives, friends, comrades-in-arms... including Chu who is sitting in the study and taking a nap work."

He pressed the group sending button and said, "I love modern technology.—You said you were thirsty?"

Pei Zhishun picked up the cold tea that had been on the bedside table for an unknown amount of time and stuffed it for Han Yue. Han Yue took a sip and felt a little sour, his face darkened halfway: "Fuck you, get me some fresh hot water !"

"Oh, I don't know where your kettle is. If you don't mind, I'll ask Mr. Chu to boil the water? The problem is that Mr. Chu took care of you all night without sleep, and now I finally took a nap..."

Han Yue's forehead twitched, and the expression on his face was a little flattered and a little unbelievable for a moment. After a while, he asked softly: "He really... guarded me all night?..."

Pei Zhi nodded solemnly, and said to get the hell out, if he really loves you so much, why would he call me in the middle of the night

The expression on Han Yue's face was very complicated in an instant, a kind of irrepressible joy and refreshment appeared from the corners of his brows and eyes, and he tried his best to hide it in front of Pei Zhi. , let him rest, in fact, I don't really want water, let him sleep let him sleep... "

Pei Zhixin said that you deserve to die of thirst, why didn't you die of thirst earlier

When he flew to the gas station on the road, Chu Ci's situation was not much better than Han Yue's. Although Han Yue was injured, his physical fitness was stronger than the average person, and he was helped by Chu Ci along the way, and he simply passed out in the end, so the physical exertion was much smaller.

On the contrary, Chu Ci was a patient with a history of gastric bleeding. He had to support Han Yue who was much heavier than him along the way. At the last stretch, Han Yue passed out, and he dragged Han Yue away bit by bit. When Pei Zhi arrived, he had almost collapsed, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat, his face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and he collapsed before he could say a word when he saw Pei Zhi.

As soon as Pei Zhi caught him, he was petrified. Fortunately, Ren Jiayuan came with him, immediately poured a cup of glucose to Chu Ci, pinched his body and rubbed his temples, finally woke Chu Ci up.

"Why don't you take me to the hospital? And what happened to my old man?"

Pei Zhi shook his head again and again: "Who dares to send you to the hospital? Do you know how closely Long Jiwei's people are watching you? There are people coming and going in the hospital, and the safety factor is simply negative! Speaking of which, you have to Thank you Chu Gong, look, Commander Han is far away in Taijiang, the commander's wife can't get away, your boss has already hid at his mistress's house... Fortunately, Chu Gong dared to take you in, otherwise you would sleep on the street."

Han Yue stayed for a while, let out a long breath, and said with a smile: "Yes, at least Chu Ci takes me in."

Although I have already learned about what happened that day from Chu Ci, but a lot of information is vague. After all, Chu Ci was in so much pain that he was unconscious at the time, and many descriptions were vague. Pei Zhi talked with Han Yue for a long time, described the current situation of the Han family, and asked them in detail how they climbed down the hillside. He couldn't help but tremble with fear: "How dare you do such a dangerous thing? Whatever it is, Chugong, he..."

"I thought about it very clearly at the time. If I was caught, Long Jiwei would not be able to kill me for the time being due to concerns about the Han family's relationship, but he would definitely silence Chu Ci. I can't do it if I let Chu Ci die alone. Yes, it's dangerous to run away, but in case something happens, at least we can go on the road together, maybe we can be reborn as a couple in the next life."

Pei Zhi was silent for a while, then sighed, "You were so affectionate earlier, why did you torture Chu Gong like that back then?"

"I don't know, I didn't understand at the time." Han Yue laughed at himself as he spoke, "At that time, I only thought that I liked him so much, but he always ignored me. It was too much. Sometimes I watch I get angry when he says a few words to others. Since he ignores me, how can he smile at others? I am such a big living person, and since I was a child, everyone has looked at my face and respected me. , afraid of me, flattering me, how could he throw me like a piece of trash? At that time, I could do anything to get his attention, but then I gradually realized that only when I got angry and tortured him did he have time to go Thinking about others, and focusing completely on me. Although I knew he was just hating me at that time, it didn’t matter, as long as he only had me in his eyes.”

Han Yue paused, shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't understand at the time, I did a lot of stupid things... Later I found out that what I want is not those at all, I just want to see him smile like when I met him at the beginning." Say hello to me, then sit next to me and chat with me with a smile. If I could go back to that moment, I would die willingly…”

Han Yue's leg was injured to the bone, but it was not as serious as he imagined, it was just a closed fracture of the long bone. The Ren family visited him a few times, and finally ordered him to lie in bed and rest, not to walk around at will, not to exert force on the calf, and not to go out casually.

Han Yue has been around for so many years, and he is well versed in the principle of forbearance with a knife on his head. Even if Long Jiwei's hatred is already bleeding in his heart, he can still lie still and wait for the opportunity. The only problem is that his daily life has become very troublesome. He can't do everything by himself, and even has to ask Chu Ci for help when he goes to the bathroom.

Han Yue used to cook, wash dishes and clean up at home, and Chu Ci only occasionally swept the floor, played the ashes, and arranged the decorations. Han Yue never felt that there was anything wrong with this. It was a man's duty and responsibility to take good care of his partner, not to mention that Chu Ci himself might not have to do cooking and cleaning.

But now he can't do anything, he has to call Chu Ci to help him to eat, drink, go to the toilet, and every trivial matter. Waking up at night was especially embarrassing. Chu Ci was a very light sleeper, and finally fell asleep, and was called up to help Han Yue go to the bathroom. Although he didn't show any impatience on his face, Han Yue knew that once he was woken up every night, he would never be able to fall asleep again when he went back.

Fortunately, Chu Ci is on annual leave now, so he doesn't have to go to work during the day, otherwise he would have to ask for leave from the scientific research institute, which would be another trouble.

Han Yue stayed in bed for half a month, suffering from extreme happiness and extreme pain.

Fortunately, Chu Ci did not take advantage of this critical moment to trip him up. Chu Ci always had a calm and silent attitude. He was careful and could take good care of people. Han Yue has never felt bored these days when he was bedridden. Mobile phones, computers, magazines, and TV remote controls are always within his reach. The electric kettle is moved to his bedside, and he eats various supplements in different ways every day. Regarding calcium, there is a glass of thick high-calcium milk before going to bed... Although Han Yue originally hated milk very much.

Han Yue was bedridden for half a month, and quickly gained three kilograms. If this continues, the strong abdominal muscles he has worked so hard to maintain for many years may be completely gone.

The painful thing is that Han Yue feels very uncomfortable about ordering Chu Ci to do that for him. He wished he could live with Chu Ci affectionately and beautifully from now on, taking care of Chu Ci so much that he could enjoy it infinitely, and even help him take care of such small things as dressing and eating, so that he can sit back and relax and everything will go smoothly.

However, the cruel reality is that Han Yue has to turn to Chu Ci for help even for trivial matters such as dressing and eating. Seeing Chu Ci busy with this and that all day long, he wants to help but is powerless, and feels like he has become a burden on the family.

When Han Yue's friends first knew that he lived in that old friend's house that was like an iceberg for thousands of years, they all thought that Han Yue was doomed this time, and he would be so screwed that even his grandma couldn't recognize him. Who knew that after such a long time, Han Yue not only didn't look like he had been abused at all, but he was also blushing like a pig, which shocked them all.

Hou Yu also secretly asked Han Yue: "Actually, Gong Chu likes you in his heart, right? Otherwise, why did he take care of you for so long without even showing you a bad face?"

"I don't know," Han Yue laughed, nodded and said, "He is good."

If it weren't for being a good person, how could they take in the injured Han Yue silently when everyone was too busy to take care of themselves.

If it weren't for being a good person, how could he not care about the hatred in the past and take care of him carefully for so long without showing any sign of impatience.

Han Yue remembered that when he first met Chu Ci, he knew that he was a very kind person. He is indeed polite and estranged to people, but he never has a bad heart. He will respect others a foot when others respect him. Now there are so many people in society who are good at playing tricks and dogs, and whoever sees them will have a friendly smile, but they will stab each other behind their backs, wishing to kill everyone who takes their own way. Although Chu Ci treats people indifferently, she never plays fake. People always feel safe, appropriate and comfortable when interacting with him.

A month later, Ren Jiayuan came to check again, and found that Han Yue had grown part of the bone callus, and he could walk a little. That day Han Yue lay in bed thinking about many things, about the Han family, about Long Jiwei, and about himself and Chu Ci.

Chu Ci came in to change him the newspaper that just arrived today, and suddenly Han Yue called out in a low voice: "Chu Ci..."

"what?"

Han Yue was silent for a while, as if he was looking forward to it but also a little afraid. After waiting for a while, he asked in a low voice, "You were in the valley that day, why did you turn back later?"

Chu Ci seemed to be stiff for a moment, and then simply said: "It's nothing."

Han Yue insisted: "What do you mean by nothing?"

"It just means that there is no special reason." Chu Ci said indifferently, "I have no intention of killing you, but I have the ability to save people but deliberately refuse to save them. I can't do this kind of thing."

"You never thought that if I die, you will get a large inheritance, and you will be free from now on, and you won't have to be forced by me to stay by your side..."

Chu Ci turned and walked towards the door, and interrupted him concisely, "——I had no intention of accepting your inheritance."

With a click, he opened the door and walked out without listening to Han Yuedu say a word.

"...It's really ruthless..." Han Yue laughed in a low voice, and touched a hard rectangular box in his pocket with his fingers.

It was one of a pair of men's rings he ordered from Cartier before Chu Ci's birthday.

"Forget it today," Han Yue said to himself, "I will give this to you on the day you are willing to be my heir..."
