The emergency room door was tightly closed and Shen Xinglan had been inside for three hours. A Miao sat blankly in the chair. Next to her was Ding V with the same blank expression.
"Miss..." Shen I handed her a bottle of water, "have a drink."
A Miao shook her head while staring at the operating room lights without focus.
"Shen I, I'm sorry." She covered her face and sobbed through her fingers. She endured it at first, then cried more and more loudly. Finally, she threw herself at the door of the operating room as if she tore her heart out.
"Shen Xinglan, come out! I was wrong, I was wrong!" A Miao slapped the door hard. "As long as you come out, you can make me do anything. You like me, we'll get married! Come out, I'll marry you... Boo-hoo, you come out..."
Shen I and Shen II firmly grabbed her hands out of fear that she might hurt herself.
"Young lady, please don't do this. Boss will be fine. You forgot that he was hit by a car last time. And he's still alright."
A Miao sat on the ground and looked at him with tears on her face. "You don't have to lie to me. I can see it. I'm not blind. The bullet... the bullet hit his heart... Boo-hoo..."
When Ding V opened fire, Shen Xinglan jumped up, and the blood from his chest splattered onto A Miao's face.
"Are you crying..." Shen Xinglan fell into her arms, also raising his hand to touch her face. "Don't cry, wait for me..."
Shen I and Shen II frantically called out, while Ding V squatted beside Shen Xinglan and looked at him for a few seconds before suddenly crying out.
"Shen? Did I do it again?"
In the ambulance, Shen I told A Miao that Ding V had suffered a gunshot wound to the head when he was very young, and Le Yi had fought with his life to save him for three days and three nights before being able to bring him back.
"But since then, Ding V has been left with very serious side effects. His memory was fragmented and he will occasionally not be able to remember anything."
Shen I said that when he first discovered this kind of behavior, Le Yi was almost cut by him, then he knocked him out and tied him up. After waking up, Ding V knew he had this problem and began to train his nose. Slowly, he began to clearly distinguish the smell of different people.
"Ding V kept the smells of Boss and Ley Yi firmly in his mind, and later on, he fragmented again several times, but he never hurt Boss or Le Yi again."
In fact, Ding V had already remembered A Miao's smell, but today she was covered in barbecue sauce. Therefore, Ding V could not tell...
The bullet hit Shen Xinglan's heart. The operation had been going on for five hours. A Miao sat motionless by the door. Shen I and Shen II also began to worry.
"Why hasn't Le Yi come yet?" Ding V, who had been silent, finally spoke.
Shen II looked at his watch nervously. "He should still be on the way."
They had notified Le Yi immediately after Shen Xinglan's accident, but even if Le Yi had left right away, it would not have been possible for him to arrive yet.
"Young lady, if you won't eat, at least drink some water!" Shen I tried to persuade her many times and A Miao did not respond, as if her entire being was left with just a shell.
Ding V stood up, took the water from Shen I's hand, grabbed A Miao's chin, and poured it in.
"Cough..." A Miao choked and then struggled to push him away.
"If Shen is dead, I will give you my life. If anything happens to you, what will I give to Shen?" Ding V put the water in A Miao's hand. "He's been hurt worse than this before. He was always fine, and he'll be fine this time!"
A Miao cried loudly. She did not know what she was going to do. Because Shen Xinglan always bullied her, she had forgotten the feeling that Shen Xinglan was hit by a car in order to save her last time.
But now... that feeling was back, and at the same time, everything Shen Xinglan had done for her during this period of time became magnified in her mind.
"Yes, miss!" Shen I and Shen II helped her sit back in her chair. "Boss will be fine. You have to trust him."
Just as those words finished, the lights in the operating room went off, and a doctor in a blue surgical uniform came out.
"How is he?" A Miao rushed up to hold the doctor's hand.
This hospital was owned by the Ji consortium, so the doctors naturally knew Shen Xinglan's identity, but...
"I'm sorry..."
"What sorry?" A Miao screamed, "I don't want to hear sorry, you tell me how he is!! Say it! Tell me quickly!"
The other three looked solemn as they heard the doctor pronounce the death penalty.
"The bullet is too close to the heart, we... we can't get it out... Prepare... prepare for the funeral..."
Shen I had not spoken and he heard a bang—A Miao had collapsed to the ground.
Emotion is a wonderful thing—a song, a person, a word. It will suddenly make you realize that what you thought you didn't care about may have been the most important thing to you for a long time.
"A Miao..."
"A Miao..."
"Who? Who is calling me?"
All around was pitch-black, far away there was a glimmer of light. A Miao instinctively ran in that direction. Not knowing how long it took, suddenly her vision expanded.
"Is anyone there?" She looked around and it looked like a forest. She did not know why, but it seemed gloomy...
All of a sudden, she found a small river not far away, and there seemed to be two people along the riverbank. A Miao ran quickly, but when she got near the river, she could not get past it, as if a transparent wall were blocking her way.
"Don't cry, silly girl." The voice came from a little boy lying by the river, comforting a crying little girl.
The little girl's face was stained with tears, but the boy did not avoid her dirty little face at all and raised his hand to wipe her tears.
"Older brother... you must be feeling very painful, but I have no medicine for you. Boo-hoo... I didn't steal the medicine..."
A Miao saw that the little boy was covered with wounds, and white bones could be seen in several places.
"Be good, don't cry. Your brother isn't hurting..." The little boy looked to be in a lot of pain, but he comforted the little girl. "Look!"
The little girl looked down and saw the boy holding a black thing in his hand.
"Chocolate!" She let out a cry.
"Eat fast, it will melt soon." The boy wanted to put his hand up and put the chocolate into the little girl's mouth, but he tried several times and could not.
The little girl cried and picked the chocolate up. "Brother, eat..." She sobbed and broke the chocolate into two halves to put it into the boy's mouth.
"Be good, eat it yourself. Brother doesn't like sweet food." The little boy put on a smile and shook his head.
"I won't eat if my brother doesn't…" the little girl cried.
The boy moved his finger and said, "Well, half for each."
Because the little girl's face was black and red with tears, A Miao could not see her clearly. But A Miao always felt that she had seen the little boy somewhere before.
"It's a pity that there are so many wounds on his face and I can't see him clearly," A Miao said this sentence to herself. But suddenly, she saw several people running out of the woods, who were about to hit her. A Miao let out a cry and opened her eyes.
"Miss?" Shen I's enlarged face appeared in front of her.
A Miao had been in a momentary trance. When another face appeared in her vision, she murmured.
"Le Yi..."
He gave her a handsome smile. "A Miao, are you awake?"
A Miao sat up fiercely. "Where is Shen Xinglan? Where is Shen Xinglan?"
"Boss is fine, he's fine!" Shen I quickly held her down.
Le Yi took her hand and said, "Don't get excited. I've arrived. Shen is all right now."
"Is everything okay?" A Miao asked uncertainly, "You... what do you mean..."
"What I mean is that the bullet has been taken out and he is still conscious, but he has lost so much blood. But I promise!" Ley smiled and continued, "He's not in danger!"
"There is no danger to his life... there is no danger to his life..." A Miao said several words, then her eyes crossed and she passed out again.
Shen I was startled. Le Yi quickly turned her eyelids back and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay. She was just too nervous before."
What A Miao did not know was that she had been asleep all day, but she was probably thinking about Shen Xinglan as her eyebrows were locked the whole time. Now suddenly relieved, she unexpectedly collapsed like before.
"I'll give her some glucose and let her sleep!" Le Yi motioned to the nurse. "Take good care of her."
In the next ward, Shen Xinglan opened his eyes.
"Shen." Ding V stood beside his bed like a pillar.
Shen Xinglan closed his eyes. "Has Le Yi come?"
"Yes." Ding V pursed his lips. "I am in trouble."
"I'm not dead." As Shen Xinglan moved, the pain in his chest made him bare his teeth.
Ding V looked at him and said, "A Miao is very sad. She fainted from crying."
"She feels guilty." Shen Xinglan was somewhat helpless. "If I died because I saved her, she would be sad to death."
Shen Xinglan knew about A Miao. She looks as if with thorns all over her; in fact, she was soft-hearted and dough-like.
"Boss!" Shen I pushed open the door and came in to see him awake. His whole expression relaxed and he began to cry.
Shen II, who was following him, kicked him speechlessly. "Shut up and go find Le Yi."
"No, let him cry!" Le Yi came in the door followed by several doctors.
Shen Xinglan let Le Yi open his eyes, and the doctors took out numerous instruments and examined him all over again.
"All right!" Le Yi waved at the doctors to go out.
Ding V said eerily, "I said that Shen would not die."
"Do you still say that?" Ley Yi slapped him on the head. "If I were 10 minutes later, the gods of Daluo could not save him."
It was unknown where Shen III got an Al-Qaeda plane to intercept him in mid-air; otherwise, at the speed of an ordinary helicopter, he would not have been able to make it.
"Have you seen A Miao?" Shen Xinglan did not care about himself, he just wanted to know how the girl was.
Le Yi gave him a playful look. "Oh, you're different indeed! When you talked about her before it was just 'her, her, her', now you know to call her by name."
Shen I immediately leaned in and said, "Boss, you can rest assured that the young lady is fine. She just woke up and is now asleep again."
"Go and move her bed to my side." Shen Xinglan wanted to see her, and this impatience even made him ignore the pain.
When A Miao woke up again, she saw a pair of eyes staring straight at her that looked like a wolf who had been hungry for hundreds of years.
