"Xu Chen." Yao Yiyi woke up from her dream, with cold sweat on her forehead.
"Mom, are you having a nightmare?" An An was originally sitting on the chair. Seeing Yao Yiyi's surprise, she immediately ran down from the chair and ran to the bedside.
Yao Yiyi raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, hugged An An and said, "An An, how is your godfather?"
An An shook her head, wrinkled her face and said, "Daddy hasn't woken up yet. An An is worried that her mother will come over to look at you. Godmother went to daddy's place to see her and will be back soon."
Yao Yiyi hugged him out of bed. She originally wanted An An to lead the way to Xu Chen's ward to see him. In the nightmare she just had, Xu Chen was covered in blood and was dying. Let her take good care of herself and An An forever. He closed his eyes and never woke up again.
As soon as she and An An walked to the door, the door was opened and Yao Ting came in from the outside.
"My dear, you're awake. Are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?" Yao Ting asked with concern.
Yao Yiyi said anxiously: "I'm fine. Where is Xu Chenren? I'll go see him."
"Okay, I'll take you there. He just lost too much blood, but it's not life-threatening, so don't worry." Yao Ting led people over and entered the ward. Yao Yiyi looked at the man lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Xu Chen, her eyes flashed with complexity, but she was actually quite sad.
"Has the doctor said when he will wake up?" Yao Yiyi said in a hoarse voice.
"If nothing else happens, he will wake up before dark, but Xu Chen's physical fitness is strong, so he might wake up soon." Yao Ting said deliberately and casually.
Yao Yiyi just looked at Xu Chen on the bed in confusion, remaining silent.
Yao Ting knew that she felt guilty, so she just pulled her to sit on the sofa and enlightened: "Dear, I found out what happened to you from Rhett. It was an accident and it has nothing to do with anyone's right or wrong. Don’t take it too seriously.”
Yao Yiyi sighed quietly and said: "Tingting, I understand what you mean, it's just that he used his life to save me. I said in my heart that I don't have any feelings. It's a lie. It's just that my whole heart has been given to Ou Qing. Heng, even if my heart is moved towards Xu Chen and I agree to be with him, I will never forget Qingheng in this life. This is very unfair to him and I cannot respond to his equal love, so I I’ll feel guilty.”
Yao Ting also sighed.
Debts owed to people are the hardest to repay.
Both fell silent.
In the afternoon, Xu Chen woke up after all.
The first thing he asked after waking up was: "Is Yiyi okay?"
Yao Ting shook her head and said, "She's fine. She went back to make porridge for you for a while and then came over. If you were injured, she was worried about you more than anyone else."
Xu Chen's lips curled up.
"To get her care, my injury is worth it." He smiled.
Yao Ting glanced at him and said, "If you say this, I will mistakenly think that you actually hurt her intentionally to make her worry."
Xu Chen just smiled, neither denying nor confirming.
Yao Ting gritted her teeth, gave him some water, then sat on a chair, looked at him with a keen eye, and said: "Xu Chen, tell the truth, did you block this shot on purpose?"
Xu Chen looked back at her, still smiling: "Yao Ting, do you think that if I didn't really love that person, I would make a fool of myself with my life?"
Yao Ting was choked. She also knew that this was not possible, but she was delusional that Xu Chen would admit that he was hurt intentionally to gain sympathy, so that Yao Yiyi would stop blaming herself so much. She knew that she was very selfish and excessive. , just seeing Yao Yiyi under so much pressure made her feel quite uncomfortable.
Yao Ting crossed her legs, looking very casual.
"Xu Chen, I really hope you can say that you were injured on purpose, so that Yiyi can feel less guilty. I treat you as a friend, but Yiyi is an indispensable family member in my heart, so I don't want her to hide it in her heart. Any grievance, do you understand?"
Xu Chen lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions flashing in his eyes.
When he suddenly said: "Yao Ting, do you know? I want to make good use of this injury. The boss doesn't remember Yiyi now. Do you really want her to return to China and suffer such injustice?"
Yao Ting was stunned for a moment and looked at Xu Chen meaningfully.
"What do you mean?" she said warily.
A smile appeared on Xu Chen's pale face, and he said: "It doesn't mean anything. I just want Yiyi to stay here. Without the disturbance of the wealthy family, I think she will live a better life. Even if I live silently for the rest of my life, I am willing to stay behind her, but I don't want her to return to T City. You and I both know that once she goes back, she will be hurt by the boss's attitude."
Yao Ting fell silent.
Xu Chen looked at her quietly, waiting for her answer.
Yao Ting shook her head, shrugged, and said: "Xu Chen, you think too highly of me. If Yiyi really wants to go back to China, I can't stop her. This is the path she has chosen. I believe in whatever she encounters ahead." I have also considered it, but now that she has decided, I think we should support her instead of plotting against her behind her back, don’t you think?"
The smile on Xu Chen's face faded a little.
"Do you really want her to get hurt?"
"It's not a question of whether I am willing or not, but a question of her insistence on going back. Even if she stays at home for us, she will be unhappy for the rest of her life because she is tied to Ou Qingheng. It's better to let her go back and experience everything. If she and Ou Qingheng can get back together, we will bless her, but if not, I will definitely bring you and her together." Yao Ting thought for a while and said.
After a pause, she added: "So now, can you give her some breathing space?"
Xu Chen's answer was to simply close his eyes.
The corners of Yao Ting's mouth twitched.
When Yao Yiyi came in with a large basket and An An, she was keenly aware that something was not right in the atmosphere.
She put the basket on the table and said, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight?"
With that said, she walked to the bedside, looked at Xu Chen who was already awake, curved her lips, and said softly: "Xu Chen, are you feeling a lot of pain? Do you want to call the doctor to take a look at you?"
Xu Chen looked back at her, almost addicted to her tenderness.
Yao Ting coughed twice, breaking the ambiguity that had just been created.
"My dear, I just called the doctor to see him. The doctor said that he responded very quickly. You can rest assured." Yao Ting smiled and said: "I just said that Xu Chen is strong and strong. How can one shot be so easy? It’s going to take his life.”
Yao Yiyi gave her a strange look.
"Are you having a conflict?" Yao Yiyi asked.
Yao Ting was startled for a moment, then shrugged and said casually: "Dear, why do you ask?"
Yao Yiyi thought for a moment, then shook her head, then took the basket, opened the lid, took out the chicken soup inside, blew the soup with a spoon to cool it, handed it to Xu Chen, and said, "This is what I have been boiling for several days." The chicken soup has been made for an hour, do you want to try it and see if it tastes right?"
Xu Chen reflexively opened his mouth and drank. Yao Yiyi fed him a sip, and she took a sip. She felt like she had eaten honey. Even if Yao Yiyi gave him poison, he would definitely eat it without blinking. Go down.
This is the first time Yao Yiyi feeds him.
Looking at his beloved woman up close, Xu Chen's heart was beating wildly and he looked at Yao Yiyi with keen eyes. He was afraid that if he didn't look at her this time, he would really have no chance to look at her in the future.
Yao Ting felt that there were sparks of ambiguity between them. She looked at Yao Yiyi who was feeding Xu Chen chicken soup with some confusion, not knowing what she was thinking.
After Xu Chen fell asleep tiredly after drinking chicken soup, Yao Ting asked An An to stay in the ward and watch Xu Chen, and then she pulled Yao Yiyi out.
When she came to the stairs, Yao Ting said straight to the point: "Yiyi, what exactly are you thinking? Do you know that look will make Xu Chen think wildly."
Yao Yiyi lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Dear, what's wrong with you? Are you planning to accept Xu Chen? You're not planning to return to China, are you?" Yao Ting said in series.
Yao Yiyi raised her eyes, with unspeakable helplessness flashing in her eyes.
"Tingting, I just want to take care of him. He was injured because of me. He is lying on the hospital bed. I can't be indifferent." Yao Yiyi said softly.
"..." Yao Ting was choked. She waved her hands and said angrily: "My dear, you will only make Xu Chen fall into his own thoughts, and in the end it will be bad for everyone."
Yao Yiyi's mind was also in chaos.
"Then what do you say? Everyone sees how good he is to me. I want to refuse, but he doesn't give me a chance to refuse. He almost died because of me. I can't just watch it. Let's go." Yao Yiyi said out of control.
She loved Ou Qingheng, but Xu Chen had done so much for her, and it was impossible for her to remain completely indifferent.
She could say that without Ou Qingheng, she might have fallen in love with Xu Chen, but now everything would just stay like this.
Yao Ting moved her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Invisibly, the two of them fell into an embarrassing situation where they were speechless.
I don't know how long it took, but Yao Ting took a deep breath and spoke first: "Dear, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now."
Yao Yiyi also took a breath and calmed down.
"It's also my fault." She said tiredly.
After last night's gun battle and Xu Chen's surgery, she hadn't slept for a day and a night, and because of the weight of guilt on her body, she was a little tired.
"Tingting, I didn't mean to do anything ambiguous to cause other people's misunderstanding. I just wanted to make up for Xu Chen where I could, otherwise I would really be overwhelmed by guilt." Yao Yiyi explained. .
"I understand, I'm just afraid that your attitude will make Xu Chen fall into fantasy again, so it's him who will suffer." Yao Ting expressed her worries.
Yao Yiyi didn't know this, but she knew it, but it was impossible for her not to take care of Xu Chen. Xu Chen helped her twice when she was in danger, so no matter what the reason, she had to Taking care of Xu Chen.
"I see."
"As long as you understand, forget it, I don't want to interfere too much. If you can forget about Ou Qingheng, Xu Chen is actually a good choice. You should think about it."
Yao Yiyi pursed her lips, not knowing what to answer.
"Let's go, I was kidding you."
Yao Yiyi followed her into the ward.
Due to Xu Chen's injury, Yao Yiyi had to postpone her return to China and talked to Rhett, who told her not to worry. He would arrange everything. Moreover, the reason for the gun attack has not yet been found out. It is not clear who the main messenger behind the scenes is targeting, so it is not safe for Yao Yiyi to return to China now. It is not impossible for the people behind the scenes to send people to the airport to rob and kill them out of revenge.
Of course, Rhett couldn't tell Yao Yiyi the reason behind it.
"Yiyi, let Mr. Xu recover from his injuries. I'll go over and see him in the evening as soon as I finish my work here." Rhett said on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, let's do this for now and hang up." Yao Yiyi said.
After hanging up the phone, Yao Yiyi returned to the ward and saw Yao Ting and An An missing. Xu Chen was trying to get up from the bed.
He has been in the hospital for five days, and his body has recovered quite well and he can get up and move.
Yao Yiyi hurried over to support him and said, "Xu Chen, what do you want to get? Just tell me and I will get it for you."
"It's nothing, I just want to go downstairs to get some air. You push me down to bask in the sun, otherwise mushrooms will grow on my body." Xu Chen rarely joked.
Yao Yiyi smiled, then borrowed a wheelchair from the nurse and pushed him downstairs for a walk, and finally stopped on the edge of the grass. He sat in the wheelchair and Yao Yiyi sat on the bench.
Xu Chen raised his head, squinted his eyes slightly, and suddenly said: "Yiyi, I have lived so long, and the happiest days are actually the past few days. Although I know you take care of me out of guilt, but I still feel very happy in my heart. I'm happy. This is the first time we have such close contact. I even want to selfishly use my body to confine you to me, but I can't because I know you will be unhappy. . ”
Yao Yiyi just looked at him.
Xu Chen opened his eyes and turned to look at her. Their eyes met in the air like this. Yao Yiyi's eyes were very clear and did not contain any impurities. Xu Chen could hardly see anything in her eyes. to his presence.
He knew that Yao Yiyi never fell in love with him from beginning to end, even if he risked his life for her and even disobeyed Ou Qingheng's order.
He suddenly smiled with relief and said: "Yiyi, as long as you have a little love for me, I will do whatever it takes to keep you by my side. The boss doesn't know how to cherish you, but I will, I will keep you." I hold it in the palm of my hand and love it so that you won't suffer the slightest injustice. It's a pity that what I gave you is not what you want."
Yao Yiyi also smiled.
"Xu Chen, you are an excellent and perfect man. If it weren't for Qingheng, I would definitely fall in love with you." She said, "But if you are willing, we can be family members for life. Relationships can change, but family members Feelings will never change in a lifetime.”
Xu Chen raised his hand, stroked Yao Yiyi's hair, and said, "Okay, family."
Yao Yiyi finally smiled in relief.
"Xu Chen, thank you for your tolerance for me." She said.
Xu Chen suppressed the sadness flashing in his eyes and said: "We are family, you don't need to say thank you to me, I will give you whatever you want, I won't put any pressure on you, you Don’t feel guilty towards me, because I did it willingly.”
Yao Yiyi felt warm in her heart.
Xu Chen looked at her seriously and said in his heart: Yiyi, if you can't respond to my feelings, I will accompany you as a family member for the rest of your life. As long as you need me, I will appear immediately.
