"Name?"
"Nanzhi."
"Age 22, you came alone?"
"No, my friend has something to do and just left first."
In the surgical clinic of the hospital, the doctor asked for information as usual and stood up to disinfect the wound on Nanzhi's arm. He couldn't help but gasp when he saw the depth of the wound.
"The injury was quite deep, almost cutting the artery."
Nanzhi was wearing a sleeveless pure white dress, which outlined her slender but flexible figure. One corner of the dress was stained red with blood, which looked a bit scary, but her beautiful face had no extra expression except for being a little pale.
Today, she was checking someone's pulse at the hospital. Who would have thought that she would encounter a medical riot? She was causing trouble and smashing things in the hospital. She was not prepared and just cut her wrist on broken glass.
She was supposed to take care of it herself at the hospital, but she bled slightly and she had to come to the hospital for stitches no matter what.
"Be careful next time, this hurts so much."
The doctor's instructions brought Nanzhi back to her thoughts. She managed to raise her arm and asked the doctor to apply medicine and bandage on her.
After all this tossing, Nanzhi's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.
"Thank you." She stood up and left with a pale face.
Sitting on the bench in the corridor outside the clinic, Nanzhi took out his mobile phone and made a call.
The call was connected over there, and the background sound was extremely noisy. The female voice on the receiver was also anxious: "Xiao Zhi, how are you? It's not done yet. Just wait for me. I'll go back to the hospital to pick you up when I'm done!"
Nanzhi breathed out lightly: "The wound is not serious. It has been bandaged. I can go back by myself. Is everything okay at the medical center?"
"Someone just came over there and took away the troublemaker. Don't worry, I'm here!"
After hanging up the phone, Nanzhi's eyes went blank for a moment, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart.
That Chinese medicine clinic was originally left to her by her grandfather.
After running the business for so many years, she tried hard not to lose her grandfather's reputation. She never thought that a man-made disaster would lead to this situation.
Swallowing the slight bitterness in her throat, Nanzhi opened the address book and looked at the first contact listed above——
Huo Sijue, her husband.
With a gentle breath, Nanzhi dialed Huo Sijue's phone number.
A few seconds later, a mechanical and cold female voice came from the receiver.
"Hello, the number you dialed is not answered, please call again later..."
Nanzhi bit her lip slightly, self-mockery flashed across her clear and bright almond eyes.
Same thing, same thing again.
She would never be able to dial Huo Sijue's number immediately.
However, the sharp stinging pain on her leg made her move away from him again.
A few minutes later, when Nanzhi stubbornly dialed the eleventh call, there was a beep and the call was connected.
The cold male voice sounded impatient: "What's the matter?"
Nanzhi took a silent breath and suppressed the trembling in his voice: "Si Jue, I'm injured and in the hospital. Can you-"
"Is this why you called ten times in a row?"
The man suddenly interrupted her, the sarcasm in his tone obvious.
Nanzhi was silent, looking at the horrific wounds on his legs, and endured the sore pain in his throat.
After a long time on the other side, Huo Sijue's voice sounded again, without hesitation: "Lu Cheng will pick you up."
After he finished speaking, the sound of disconnection sounded from the phone again.
Nanzhi's hand holding the phone slowly dropped down, taking a deep breath to hold back the tears that were about to fall.
People coming and going from the consulting room beside her couldn't help but cast sidelong glances at her. Nanzhi didn't want to be even more embarrassed in public.
I don’t know how long I sat there, but the people waiting for treatment at the door changed one after another. Nanzhi’s patience in waiting was gradually losing.
She tried to stand up and leave by herself. The girl on the bench next to her suddenly let out a low scream, and then patted her companion excitedly——
"Look at the news! Someone broke the news that Gu Mingxi's award ceremony has just ended, and it is suspected that her rumored boyfriend personally sent her home!"
"No way? Gu Mingxi just won the Best Actress Award. Didn't they say she is single?"
Hearing the words Gu Mingxi, Nanzhi suddenly stopped in his tracks.
In front of her, Lu Cheng happened to be walking around the corner. He seemed to have heard the conversation between the two girls. He paused on the spot and looked at Nanzhi awkwardly.
Nanzhi looked at Lu Cheng expressionlessly for a moment, then took out his phone and looked through it.
The latest entertainment entries have become hot searches.
'Actress Gu Mingxi's rumored boyfriend appears'
The bright word "Explosion" is in front of it, but it is not as shocking as the picture of Huo Sijue next to Gu Mingxi in the leaked picture, which makes Nanzhi even more shocking.
Lu Cheng walked up at this time, his voice filled with anxiety.
"Madam, Mr. Huo asked me to pick you up."
After leaving the hospital and getting into the car, Nanzhi sent a message to the classmates who brought her to the hospital, telling them not to worry about her. Then she turned off her phone and stared blankly out of the car window.
The sky has darkened, and the street scene outside the car is passing by quickly. Thinking of today's events, Nanzhi's eyes are full of self-mockery.
She has been married to Huo Sijue for three years.
In three years, he never touched her.
Perhaps he should have understood a long time ago that she had never entered Huo Sijue's heart.
Back at Huo's house, Lu Cheng helped Nanzhi go upstairs.
Looking at the horrific wound on Nanzhi's leg, Lu Cheng wanted to know if he needed help, but he felt it was inappropriate.
The atmosphere was awkward and quiet, and Nanzhi suddenly said: "Go and do your work, I can do it myself, don't worry about me."
Lu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief silently, said goodbye and left.
Nanzhi took the medicine she had prescribed during the day, gritted her teeth, sterilized it, and bandaged it with the medicine. After all the fussing, her forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.
She almost exhausted all her strength, washed briefly, lay down on the bed, and closed her eyes in exhaustion.
The ticking of the pendulum clock in the house seemed to get louder and louder along with her heartbeat.
I don't know how much time passed, but Nanzhi heard the sound of the door opening in a daze.
It's Huo Sijue.
She woke up almost immediately, turned slightly and looked at the tall and tall figure in the darkness.
Huo Sijue didn't notice that Nanzhi was awake and didn't turn on the light. He took off his suit and went to the bathroom.
The next second, a soft body came up from behind.
Huo Sijue's body stiffened subconsciously. He turned slightly and saw that Nanzhi was almost half naked, wearing only a silk nightgown.
The robe was tied loosely, exposing a large area of spring on her chest. Although she couldn't see her fingers in the room, Nanzhi's fair skin seemed to be glowing in the dark night.
Huo Sijue couldn't see her expression clearly, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly: "Nanzhi, what are you doing?"
Nanzhi's weak, boneless hands climbed onto the man's shoulders. The darkness gave her courage, but it also inexplicably caused her to fall into despair.
She threw away her shame and closed her eyes slightly: "Si Jue, can you do it with me..."
The voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost as soft as a mosquito's moan, but the trembling tone seemed to be mixed with seductive charm.
No man can say no.
However, Huo Sijue suddenly woke up.
He held Nanzhi's wrist and felt that the fingertips were smooth and tender, but his desire was extinguished little by little.
"Nanzhi, are you cheap? Are you so in need of a man?"
Nanzhi's last hope suddenly collapsed.
Her breathing was trembling. Nanzhi backed away a little and pulled out her wrist.
For three years and more than a thousand days and nights, they had never had any intimacy between husband and wife.
After such a long time, even a stone has become hot.
But Huo Sijue is not a stone, he just doesn't love her.
Nanzhi turned away and laughed suddenly.
She didn't want to continue.
"Huo Sijue, let's get a divorce."
