When Shen Huaizhou woke up, she was still sleeping.
The little girl is soft and soft, with a peaceful and gentle expression, like a sleeping cat, very cute.
He kissed the corner of her lips gently, then ordered someone to take care of her, and went to the street by himself.
When he came back, Zhong Lingyu happened to wake up.
She sipped the porridge in small sips, her face turned a little red, and her soft lips were glossy and smooth.
Shen Huaizhou's Adam's apple moved slightly and he stepped forward and said, "Are you awake?"
Zhong Lingyu's eyes widened suddenly, "You..."
She looked like she saw a ghost.
Shen Huaizhou pretended not to see it.
He spoke in a normal tone, asking about her injuries.
Zhong Lingyu said sarcastically, "I'm fine. If something happens to you, please leave first. I have someone here to take care of you."
She issued an eviction order.
Shen Huaizhou was heartbroken.
He took her soft little hand and put it on his cheek, "I don't plan to leave, Lingyu. No matter now or in the future, I will stay with you and always take care of you."
What a beautiful promise.
Zhong Lingyu's face turned pale.
Because these words were not beautiful to her, they were even like a death knell.
Like a shackle, locking her to Shen Huaizhou.
"You clearly said you wanted to let me go, why..."
"I never said that." Shen Huaizhou smiled lightly, "Lingyu, you can't accuse me wrongly."
Zhong Lingyu thought about it carefully.
He didn't seem to...really say that.
For a moment, Zhong Lingyu wanted to cry.
Shen Huaizhou held her hand tightly, put it to his lips and kissed her again and again, "You saved me three times, Lingyu, I will be yours from now on."
"I don't want you." Zhong Lingyu bit her lip, "Young Marshal, if you have this idea because I saved you, I can actually explain it to you."
Before Shen Huaizhou could say anything, Zhong Lingyu said seamlessly: "The first time I saved you was because I was pulled back by handcuffs and forced to block the gun for you."
"The second time was because you kidnapped me under the cemetery. You were unconscious at the time. If we hadn't waited for rescue, we would have probably suffocated to death inside, so I rescued you."
"And this time, I chose to lure the enemy away after weighing the pros and cons, not just to save you."
Zhong Lingyu lied.
She refused to admit that she had any sympathy for Shen Huaizhou at that time.
Because she doesn't need Shen Huaizhou to be moved.
Shen Huaizhou breathed heavily.
He took a deep breath, "But you still saved me. If you saved me, I am yours."
Zhong Lingyu was so angry that he wanted to cry.
She is really playing the harp now and cannot explain clearly.
She forced herself to calm down and tried to reason with Shen Huaizhou, "Young Marshal, you said you would take care of me in the future, so can you marry me?"
Shen Huaizhou replied to her, "Lingyu, I told you that status is not important."
There was a flash of emotion in his eyes that Zhong Lingyu couldn't understand.
But she didn't bother to delve deeper and retorted, "But I care. I will never be your mistress."
"you are not."
"No name, no status, not a mistress, so what."
Shen Huaizhou took her hand and placed it on his heart, "In my heart, you are my wife, and that's enough!"
Zhong Lingyu was stunned.
His heartbeat seemed to pass through the palm of her hand, slowly disrupting the beating frequency of her heart.
In silence, Shen Huaizhou took out a velvet box from his arms.
He opened it, and inside was a diamond ring the size of a dove egg, shining with dazzling luster.
Shen Huaizhou took her hand, put the diamond ring in slowly.
It fits her size perfectly.
The exquisitely cut gemstones cast a layer of flawless light between her onion-like fingers.
It also brightened Shen Huaizhou's eyes.
He placed a pious kiss on the back of her hand, "It is said that when foreigners get married, they give their wives a diamond ring. Do you like it?"
A trace of emotion flashed in Zhong Lingyu's eyes.
But in her mind, she suddenly remembered what Chen Tinglan had said to her.
Chen Tinglan said that Shen Huaizhou once doted on a dancing girl.
But the dancer was pushed downstairs by Shen Huaizhou himself, her brain burst and she died.
The charm in Zhong Lingyu's heart suddenly disappeared.
As if she had hit a hot potato, she quickly took off the ring and threw it into the velvet box, "I don't want it."
Shen Huaizhou's fingertips were stiff.
He was heartbroken and helpless, "Lingyu, do you have to care about your status?"
Just now, he saw hope in her eyes.
Shen Huaizhou didn't believe that she didn't have any feelings for him.
He thought that she still only cared about her status, so she refused to accept the diamond ring.
Zhong Lingyu broke his stubborn thoughts.
She was helpless and tired, "Young Marshal, why don't you understand? To put it another way, even if you are willing to give me a status, I don't want to marry you because I don't like you at all."
In just a few words, Shen Huaizhou's heart was as sharp as a knife.
He endured the disappointment and put his palm against her cheek, "What kind of man do you like? Lingyu, tell me."
Zhong Lingyu has never thought about what kind of man she likes.
But what she likes is definitely not someone like Shen Huaizhou.
She said: "Very knowledgeable, talented, gentle and devoted."
No matter which one, Shen Huaizhou couldn't stick to them.
Zhong Lingyu said this deliberately to make Shen Huaizhou retreat.
Shen Huaizhou was also in trouble.
Because he has had a problem that he can't get rid of since he was a child: he gets sleepy whenever he studies.
Reading can even cure his insomnia.
So being knowledgeable and talented, he is 100% unable to do that.
He can do the other two.
Shen Huaizhou held her hand and said solemnly: "I will try to change it and make you like me."
Zhong Lingyu was exhausted.
She didn't want to talk anymore and slowly closed her eyes.
Shen Huaizhou knew that she was not asleep.
He rolled his throat and couldn't help but ask, "If what happened last night were repeated again, would you still save me?"
"No." Zhong Lingyu didn't hesitate for a moment, "As long as I could escape by myself, I would never care about you."
Shen Huaizhou said no more.
He sat beside the bed for a long time until she fell asleep.
Then he put the diamond ring on her ring finger again.
When Adjutant Li came in, he saw that Shen Huaizhou's face was a bit abnormally red.
Stepping forward cautiously, Adjutant Li said: "Young Marshal, go and take a rest. Your condition is very bad."
Shen Huaizhou really had a headache.
One is because of illness, and the other is because of being angry with some dead girl.
He rubbed his brows, covered Zhong Lingyu with the quilt, and turned back to his own ward.
When Zhong Lingyu finished his sleep and woke up again, Shen Huaizhou was nowhere to be seen.
Her fingers were suddenly so heavy that she couldn't lift them up. When she lowered her head, she saw that the diamond ring was on the ring finger of her right hand.
Zhong Lingyu stared at the diamond ring for a long time.
She suddenly remembered that Shen Huaizhou seemed to have been shot.
He had a high fever again.
When he was beside her hospital bed, blood was still oozing from the raised bones and flesh on the back of his hand.
Zhong Lingyu suddenly wanted to see Shen Huaizhou.
After all, they are life and death friends, so it is not strange to visit him.
Convincing herself, she took off the ring, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Shen Huaizhou's ward is just opposite.
Just as Zhong Lingyu was about to push the door open, he suddenly heard the sweet and soft sobs of a woman, "Cousin, how could you be hurt so badly? Fortunately, you came back safely, wuwu..."
With her hands frozen in the air, Zhong Lingyu looked up through the glass window and looked inside.
Shen Huaizhou was lying on the bed.
A delicate and beautiful girl was crying in his arms.
His eyes were very gentle, he patted her head and comforted her patiently: "I'm fine, don't cry!"
Although Zhong Lingyu couldn't see the woman's face clearly, she could roughly guess the girl's identity.
It's Wen Qingyu, Shen Huaizhou's cousin.
They have a deep relationship as brothers and sisters and are very close.
Zhong Lingyu stood there for a while, and finally did not go in, but returned to his ward silently.
Quietly, as if it had never been there.
