Zhong Lingyu felt that this must be a dream.
She closed her eyes.
But the hot flashes in his palms became more and more intense.
She opened her eyes again and stared at Shen Huaizhou blankly.
He took a moment to realize that she was looking at him.
"You're awake." Shen Huaizhou quickly stood up and touched her face, "Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"
He bent over, and the tears in his eyes fell straight on Zhong Lingyu's face before he could hold them back.
Zhong Lingyu's heart trembled slightly.
She raised her hand with difficulty to touch his face.
Shen Huaizhou was stunned for a moment, and there was an indescribable softness in his eyes.
He placed her palm on his cheek.
Zhong Lingyu touched the sticky substance on his face, as if she was burned, and she suddenly retracted her hand.
Shen Huaizhou nudged her cheek with his nose, and every movement was filled with intimacy and affection, "What's wrong?"
"You're thirsty, drink water." Zhong Lingyu's voice was slightly hoarse.
She felt that something was wrong with Shen Huaizhou.
She couldn't digest his appearance for a while.
So he used drinking water as an excuse to change the subject.
Of course, she was really thirsty too.
Zhong Lingyu was gently helped up by him, leaning on the soft pillow behind him, holding the cup and taking a sip.
After drinking a glass of water, the burning and dryness in my throat was dispelled.
She handed the empty cup to Shen Huaizhou and asked in a low voice: "Why am I in the hospital?"
"You were hanging on a tree on the edge of the cliff and were rescued by Adjutant Li." Shen Huaizhou placed his palm on her cheek and rubbed it gently with his fingertips.
His eyes were full of worry, "Didn't I ask you to run away? Why did you come back? You stupid thing, you really almost cost your life."
Zhong Lingyu's head hurt and she was very dull. She was stunned for a long time before she remembered what happened before.
At that time, Shen Huaizhou couldn't bear the loss of blood and was about to faint.
She couldn't run very far with Shen Huaizhou.
The enemy is about to discover them too.
In that case, there are only two outcomes.
First, she and Shen Huaizhou were both caught and killed.
Second, between her and Shen Huaizhou, at least one person can escape.
If she ran hard enough, she could actually run away.
Those people were originally here for Shen Huaizhou.
But when Shen Huaizhou pushed her away and let her run alone without hesitation, she actually felt compassion.
Zhong Lingyu thought that there must be something wrong with his head at that time.
She finally chose to use herself as bait to lure the enemy elsewhere.
The best chance of survival was left to Shen Huaizhou.
Zhong Lingyu himself was chased by the enemy and forced onto the cliff because of the unfamiliar terrain.
In front of you is the dark muzzle of the gun, and behind you is the cliff.
But in the moonlight, Zhong Lingyu saw an inconspicuous tree on the edge of the cliff.
She wanted to survive, so she took courage and jumped to the root of the tree.
But the edge of the cliff was uneven, and she hit a rock and slowly fell unconscious.
When I opened my eyes again, I arrived at the hospital.
Then she saw Shen Huaizhou holding her hand and crying.
Zhong Lingyu finally realized the reason for Shen Huaizhou's excessive tenderness and hot tears.
Shen Huaizhou knew that she had saved him.
Before she could say anything, Shen Huaizhou held her hand tightly, put it to his lips and kissed her softly, "Fortunately, you came back alive, Lingyu, I will repay you in the future..."
"Young Marshal!" Zhong Lingyu interrupted him softly, "If you want to repay me, you should know what I really want."
Shen Huaizhou's expression paused, and his eyes were covered with a haze.
He pursed his lips and remained silent.
Zhong Lingyu said softly: "Once, you found me a house, helped me bury my mother, and made me the ashes necklace. I am very grateful to you. But Marshal, I don't like you, let alone love you. You If you want to repay me, please let me go."
She looked at him seriously, her pale face full of pleading.
Shen Huaizhou's internal organs felt like they were being pierced by sharp blades.
It hurt so much that my blood ran cold.
He didn't even dare to look at her, but lowered his eyes and remained silent.
After a long time, Shen Huaizhou stood up and said, "I'll ask the nurse to take care of you."
Zhong Lingyu thought that Shen Huaizhou had agreed.
For a moment, her chest felt a little tight, but more importantly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She quietly watched Shen Huaizhou leave.
The heavy wooden door clicked, separating the two people.
Shen Huaizhou looked inside through the glass window.
He saw relief in Zhong Lingyu's expression.
His heart was bleeding, but Shen Huaizhou had a calm look on his face.
The wound on his shoulder was still hurting, but his whole body was numb.
Feeling restless, he went to smoke under the big tree in the courtyard.
Cigars were cut one after another.
He unconsciously took a sip and then extinguished it.
He lit up again.
After a while, there were many unfinished cigars piled at my feet.
Shen Huaizhou's face was full of melancholy.
Adjutant Li had not seen Shen Huaizhou for a long time and chased him out.
He couldn't help but persuade: "Young Marshal, your wound is not healed yet, and the doctor told you not to smoke."
Shen Huaizhou casually put out the cigarette, "It's okay."
"Did Miss Zhong...say something else?" Adjutant Li stared into Shen Huaizhou's absent-minded eyes and asked tentatively.
"Tell me, should I let her go?"
Shen Huaizhou pinched the cigar's fingertips and tightened them unconsciously.
He thought of Zhong Lingyu's pleas and the relief he felt when he thought he was going to let go, and his heart ached.
She really doesn't love him.
I also really want to escape.
In the past, she was like this too, always avoiding him.
He would either prevaricate or get angry with her.
But now, what should he do?
Shen Huaizhou looked at Adjutant Li and continued: "She wants me to leave him. Adjutant Li, do you think I should listen to her?"
He was confused, his eyes were empty, and his heart was empty.
The cold wind that got into my sleeves was not as cold as my heart.
When it came time to light a cigarette, his hands were so trembling that he couldn't strike a match.
I could only watch the small orange flames being extinguished by the wind.
Adjutant Li sighed, "Young Marshal, I have always felt that if two people are not in love, they will only torture each other. Besides, you can't marry Miss Zhong, and Miss Zhong will get married sooner or later..."
boom!
A powerful fist suddenly landed hard on the tree.
The bark was rough and cracked, and blood slowly seeped out.
Shen Huaizhou's face was extremely gloomy.
Lieutenant Li was shocked.
He immediately fell silent and swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach.
Shen Huaizhou stared at him, "Keep talking!"
Adjutant Li swallowed his throat and said bravely: "Miss Zhong will get married sooner or later, but you, Marshal, can't tolerate it, so let's just break up. I believe that as long as the Marshal treats Miss Zhong well, she will treat you sooner or later." Tempted."
Shen Huaizhou's face brightened slightly.
He retracted his fist, leaned against the tree trunk, and lit the cigar again.
In the palm of his hand, the flames burned brightly.
He blew out a puff of smoke and continued to be silent.
Until the cigarette burned out and burned his fingers.
Only then did he realize that he had been standing outside for a long time.
It's time to go back.
He wants to go back and take care of Zhong Lingyu.
Shen Huaizhou returned to the ward.
Zhong Lingyu was lying on the hospital bed, sound asleep.
Her palm-sized face was so white that it was almost transparent, and so beautiful that it was fragile.
Shen Huaizhou stared at her for a long time, then put her hand on his body.
He lay in her arms and fell asleep tiredly.
