Maybe, but it doesn’t matter, even if it’s fake, he will make everything real.
Xie Duo blinked slowly, then retracted his gaze and continued to plan and design the basement of the villa in his mind.
Because Xie Duo was injured, Xie Changqing and Li Wei took over all the affairs of the group, including the negotiations in Country B. Xie Duo was thus free. He behaved normally during the day, doing rehabilitation, reading, and processing necessary documents. At night, he would use his mobile phone to watch various videos of Shen Antu, including those of him cooking, reading, painting, and also of them kissing and hugging.
He looked at Shen Antu's face and repeatedly asked him where he was.
In the camera, Shen Antu called him in the kitchen: "Where am I? I'm at home, I'm cooking for you. Oops... I put too much salt because my hands were shaking just now. It might be a little salty... What? You just like salty food? No way, I remember you have a very light taste?"
Xie Duo clearly remembered his answer. He said, "Do you know what my taste is? I only like Shen Antu's flavor..."
"Shen Antu, I'll be home in one minute, come out and pick me up."
Chapter 55 Xie Duo You Can't Do This to Me
"Then you have a good rest, Brother Xie Duo, I will come to see you tomorrow." Chong Shirui stood up to leave. From the time she came to the ward at three o'clock in the afternoon to now at four fifteen, Xie Duo had never looked at her straight in the eye, even though she asked about his health and helped him serve tea and cut fruit.
Xie Duo was processing documents on his computer, and said without even looking up, "Don't come again tomorrow."
Chong Shirui's face looked a little ugly, but she forced a smile: "You are very busy tomorrow, right? Then the day after tomorrow..."
Xie Duo finally cast his gaze on her: "Don't come again, Chong Shirui, I don't know what my parents said to you that is worth it for you to brave the bad weather in Country B to come to see me. I already have a lover, and I don't want you to affect our relationship."
Chong Shirui held back the sourness boiling in his chest and said aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, I just heard that Brother Xie Duo was injured so I wanted to come and see you, I don't have any other intentions..."
Xie Duo started to operate the keyboard again: "Please close the door when you leave, thank you."
Chong Shirui held her bag and did not move, waiting for Xie Duo to keep her for a while. However, after a while, Xie Duo only asked her impatiently: "Anything else?"
Chong Shirui finally left, and Xie Duo closed the computer irritably. He seemed to be processing documents just now, but in fact he was just typing the three words "Shen Antu" on a blank document.
Today is the fifth day that I cannot contact Shen Antu, and it is still snowing heavily.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Xie Duo finished washing and lay down on the bed. He had been injured these days and followed the doctor's advice to rest early, but this did not mean that he could fall asleep early. In fact, he slept later than usual because his body and brain were missing Shen Antu uncontrollably.
During these two days, Xie Duo was a little impatient when practicing walking and almost pulled the wound again. Everyone advised him not to be anxious. Li Wei and Xie Changqing even planned to spend the New Year in Country B, but Xie Duo wanted to fly back to China right now and personally pull Shen Antu out from somewhere in City Z.
The steps before falling asleep are always like this: first anxiety, then anger, and finally helplessness, but sleepiness always comes.
It was always snowing in Country B during this period, and this hospital was particularly quiet. Xie Duo would fall asleep listening to the sound of falling snow after his brain was exhausted. But tonight was different. Late at night, Xie Duo was awakened by the noise outside the door.
The ward had good soundproofing, so Xie Duo couldn't hear what was going on outside, but judging from the intensity of the noise, something big must have happened.
Xie Duo's heartbeat began to soar uncontrollably. He sat up from the bed and stared at the door. He didn't know why, but he had a premonition. He just had a premonition.
The noise got louder, in both English and Chinese. Xie Duo heard a few words: "Go in," "Don't move," "Calm down," "Shoot"...
Xie Duo lifted the quilt. He wanted to get out of bed. He had to know what was happening outside immediately.
At this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and two figures hurriedly squeezed in. Then one of them quickly pushed the other out, and then closed the door tightly and locked it.
Xie Duo sat on the edge of the bed. When he was about to get out of bed, the wound on his leg was pulled and it hurt a lot, but he didn't have time to care about it now.
There was no light in the ward, so Xie Duo couldn't see anything clearly. The man didn't speak either, but from his movements, he could vaguely tell that he was holding a gun and walking towards Xie Duo step by step.
"who?"
The man's movements were obviously slowed down, but he quickly quickened his pace and walked towards the bed. Before he put the gun to his head, Xie Duo turned on the desk lamp beside the bed.
A man wrapped in a tattered down jacket, covered in snow and looking shabby but extremely handsome appeared in his sight.
It’s Shen Antu.
Xie Duo's mind went blank for a moment, and he even wondered if he was dreaming, because the night before he dreamed that Shen Antu climbed through the window to see him, but his ward was on the sixteenth floor.
Shen Antu didn't say anything, maybe because he was very cold, his cheeks were red and his lips were white, but his eyes were very fierce, which was not the look that should appear on "Shen Antu". He held the gun with both hands, and although he was shaking slightly, he still stubbornly put it against Xie Duo's forehead. Now he looked more like a killer than the few people Xie Duo met in the shooting a few days ago.
