Su Yue didn’t take it from her .
Xuxu placed the thermos flask and lunch box on the bedside cabinet . She frowned, chiding her softly . “Jiao Chen risked his life for you . Aren’t you letting him down by ruining your health?”
Her eyes turned red .
Tears flowed down Su Yue’s face . “Third sister-in-law!” she cried, hugging Xuxu .
She lay against her chest, sobbing .
She recalled that fateful moment when Jiao Chen rushed behind her and embraced her from the back . Her heart ached until she couldn’t breathe .
Xuxu knew that she had to vent her emotions, so she let her cry for a while longer . When she had calmed down, Xuxu patted her head gently . “Don’t cry . You can’t torture yourself like this, do you understand?”
Jiao Chen had risked his life to save hers .
If she didn’t treasure it, she would let him down .
Su Yue bit her lip and nodded .
Then she let go of Xuxu and picked up the lunch box of food . She started gobbling it up .
Seeing this, Xuxu said nothing .
She thought, ‘At least she’s willing to eat now . ’
Jiao Chen had been lying in the intensive care unit for half a month . They wrapped his head with bandages, and he was relying on oxygen tubes to breathe .
Su Yue lay on the chairs outside the door of the intensive care unit every day .
She was persistent, and nobody would force her because, with her current state, she was easily agitated .
It was late at night .
Su Yue was the only one in the corridors . Every day, she drifted in and out of sleep .
She had lost so much weight that her eyes were already caving in . Her face was no longer as rosy .
It was as though something had sucked out her liveliness and vitality in an instant .
After she napped for around another one hour, she opened her eyes in a panic and stood up .
She ran to the door of the ward and looked at Jiao Chen .
He was still lying there, motionless .
“Su Yue, I’m checking on him . Do you want to join me?”
Suddenly, Jiao Chen’s doctor-in-charge arrived . He offered to let her in when he saw her looking worriedly through the window .
Excitement filled her . “Really?”
He smiled . “Let’s go change our clothes . ”
“Alright . ” Su Yue followed after him with eager steps .
A tall man was standing in the corner . He retreated two steps into the darkness and turned around to lean against the wall .
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked weary .
He was now in the pitch-black staircase landing .
He tucked his hands into his pockets . He retrieved a packet of cigarettes and placed one in his mouth and lit it up .
He flicked the switch and the light-filled the landing in an instant .
However, he kept his lighter . His slender fingers held onto the cigarette, but there was a somber look on his face .
Suddenly, the phone in his pocket started ringing .
He cautiously glanced at the door to the staircase landing before picking up the call . He put the phone to his ear as he walked down the stairs .
“Keep an eye on him . I’m on my way . ”
He ended the call before dialing another number .
“Third Yan, I’ve found the culprit . ”
“Jiaojiao, can you wake up quickly?”
“Are you not going to teach me how to play basketball next semester?”
“I’m really not dumb . It’s just because I grew up in Country Y, so I’ve never heard of some idioms that the teacher uses in class . ”
“I promise that I’ll study hard next semester . I won’t sleep in class and I won’t secretly read my novels anymore . ”
