On the same bed, she turned around slightly, but she was afraid that her movements would injure his wounds, so she was careful even if she moved.
It feels like two people are connected into one body, and the whole body is affected by one move. His pain is her pain, and his injury is her injury.
It was a little cold in the corridor of the hospital just now, but it was very warm in the ward. Ji Nuan was covered with a quilt, and her hair was still wet under her head because she had just taken a shower. He stretched it out and carefully spread his hair, no longer pillowing it.
Through the dim light in the ward, Mo Jingshen saw the burns on the backs of her hands. The light blue hospital gown covered the injuries near her wrists, and the white medical gauze wrapped around the backs of her hands.
"Nan Heng knows a lot of friends and doctors who often go through life and death. I asked him to get some medicine that can remove burn scars. You can apply it every day from now on." He whispered, sounding calm and in a tone of voice. But there is hidden distress.
Ji Nuan glanced at her hands and smiled: "It's okay, it's just that the top layer of skin was blistered a lot, and then some herbal ash was randomly mixed in, so it looked like it was serious. Yesterday when the doctor here helped me apply the medicine, a layer of burned skin had already fallen off. The skin and flesh inside were not burned badly, but they might be red for a while, and it will be fine after a while. .”
It would be great to leave a place like that alive. If she didn't leave any scars, then what she experienced might just be a fairy tale.
Anyway, it's just a layer of skin burnt. It will heal over time, and it's not a deep scar.
Mo Jingshen looked away and held her hand under the quilt.
Ji Nuan reminded him: "Just hold it gently. Don't use too much force. It will involve your arms and shoulder blades."
"I know." He said calmly, obviously a little bit worried about her scalding herself.
But it is true that he is not a coquettish man, and she is not a coquettish woman. There are some traces left behind that prove that they did live and die together.
Such traces are more meaningful than any wedding rings, gifts, or souvenirs.
It was obvious that the anesthetic had not completely worn off yet, so Mo Jingshen closed his eyes tiredly.
Ji Nuan lay next to him, changing the topic, hoping that he could continue to rest peacefully.
"Why did you ask me before if I often go to the Los Angeles River?"
"Did I ask?"
"...You obviously asked when the plane landed yesterday!"
"Well, that should be the question."
"A surgery with general anesthesia, even the brain? You actually forgot what you asked me yesterday."
"You didn't have any surgery, so didn't you forget a lot of things?"
"..."
Ji Nuanqiujie: "So when I was sixteen, that night when my friend and I got separated because the street lights around us were broken, the person we fished out from the Los Angeles river was you?"
Mo Jingshen smiled.
It seemed that she didn't have amnesia, but she didn't realize that she had done a good deed unintentionally and really saved his life, so she didn't take it to heart at all.
He closed his eyes and tightened his hand on her fingertips: "I was injured more seriously than now. The helicopter at Base XI exploded one thousand meters above the Los Angeles River, and I fell directly into the river with my injuries. If If it weren't for you, I would have been swept directly into the waterfall downstream, and there would be no depth of field in this world."
Actually... it's really...
Having just experienced all this in Cambodia, Ji Nuan would not be too surprised by what he said.
She just became curious and suddenly turned her head to look at the man's face, which was so close.
The street lights were broken at that time, and it was pitch dark all around the river. She only noticed that there seemed to be a lot of blood on his body. Maybe she had watched too many American science fiction war movies at that time. She was still young, and she had a little bit of it. I have a heroic feeling, so I wanted to save someone. At that time, because I was young and brave, I was not afraid when I found so much blood on his body, but I really couldn't see his face clearly.
Later, her friend who had separated from her called her and urged her to go to the bridge and go back to school together. She carefully helped him to a safe place on the shore, and ran away in a hurry before he woke up...
But he didn't expect that person to be Mo Jingshen.
For Ji Nuan, those memories are more than ten years away, so they are really far away when they think about them.
"If you put it this way, what was your intention for the marriage between the Mo family and the Ji family? You wouldn't... do it to repay me?" Ji Nuan's tone suddenly became astringent.
Tsk, please don’t repay a favor! She doesn't like it!
Mo Jingshen smiled: "No, there are many ways to repay. There is no need to sell yourself."
Ji Nuan: "..." Sell yourself out? Is she being disliked by Mo Jingshen Chi Guoguo
"The marriage was indeed grandpa's suggestion, but the choice is mine. At first, because I knew it was you, I just paid more attention to you, but in the end, the real reason for the marriage with the Ji family has nothing to do with repayment."
"What's the reason for that?"
The man glanced at her: "Are you sure you want me, a wounded patient, to lie here and tell you so much?"
"Just this one thing..."
"Suddenly very sleepy."
"Can't you just say this one thing? I can't sleep with you like this!"
"Really sleepy."
I didn't know about it before, but now I suddenly had so many connections for no reason. Ji Nuan's curiosity was aroused, but in the end, he held back and stopped talking.
"Can't we just make a long story short?"
The man didn't speak any more. He just held her fingers with his palms gently and stroked the gauze wrapped around the back of her hands. He closed his eyes and seemed to be really about to fall asleep.
Ji Nuan still wanted to ask, but he had just had surgery last night and was woken up by her early in the morning. Her lips moved. Although she was unwilling to do so, she still closed her mouth and didn't bother him anymore. She lay on his back Look at the man next to you.
Until Mo Jingshen really fell asleep, it was obvious how much energy he had just spent talking to her for so long, but he had to admit that the fearful emotions in Ji Nuan's heart because of what he had experienced the past few days were really carried away. , except for the questions and curiosity in my mind, everything else seemed to be squeezed out, and the feeling of panic was gone.
She stared at him like this for a while, and then she finally started to feel sleepy. She slowly took her hand out of his palm, and then slowly placed it on his chest, feeling his steady heartbeat, and then again and again. Suddenly, it seemed to penetrate the gauze in her palm, spreading from her hand to her limbs, warming her blood and nerves, allowing her to completely regain the long-lost sense of security.
Thinking again that the only good thing she had ever done in her life was to save her husband, Ji Nuan raised her hand to her mouth, couldn't hold it back for a moment, and laughed like a child, but she was afraid Mo Jingshen noticed it and quickly turned his head to the side and continued laughing.
