Seeing that Ye Shu’s face still lacked any significant expression, Sheng Shuai couldn’t help but sigh, "Ah, it’s hopeless..."
Indeed, if it had been before, he dared to bring up topics that could damage Little Village Flower’s relationship with everyone, he would have already received a slap from her mighty Iron Sand Palm. But now, no matter what he said, she wasn’t listening to a word!
Jin City, Noble Hospital!
Han Ruixin was lying on a stretcher, being rushed to the emergency room, while Sheng Shaochen stood beside her, his eyes filled with a complex look.
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, I’m sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have disrupted your wedding, but I really had no other choice. I was afraid that if I didn’t try, I might live with regret for the rest of my life."
"Han Ruixin, don’t get agitated, your blood will flow even faster," Sheng Shaochen ordered.
"I have to, Brother Chen. Let me speak. If I don’t say it now, I fear I’ll never get another chance." Han Ruixin’s voice grew weaker. "Brother Chen, if I die, will you remember me?"
"I will," Sheng Shaochen replied, his brow deeply furrowed. "You won’t die."
"I don’t want to die... but... Brother Chen, don’t worry. Maybe I won’t bother you anymore after this. I’m really so foolish. Why did I do things that upset you? As long as you’re happy, that’s all I care about. That’s what I really think. Brother Chen, if I die, please bury me high up so you won’t scatter my ashes in the sea. I’m afraid of the cold. I want to be high up so that, in the next life, I can find you quickly..."
An hour later, the surgery was a success. The bullet had missed her vital organs, and the bullet had been removed. The doctors instructed to keep the patient company as much as possible once she woke up, to prevent her from feeling downcast or agitated.
Hearing this, Sheng Shaochen was about to leave the ward when Mrs. Han suddenly grabbed his hand. "Shaochen, where are you going?"
"I have other matters to attend to. If you need anything here, just call me," Sheng Shaochen said.
"No way!" Mrs. Han refused to let go and insisted, "You must stay here and take care of Ruxin. She almost lost her life because of you. How can you be so heartless to just leave her? Didn’t the doctor say we can’t let the patient get agitated? If Ruxin wakes up and doesn’t see you first thing, she could get worked up, which could be life-threatening at any moment."
"Brother Chen... Brother Chen..." Han Ruixin suddenly murmured in her dream, her hand desperately moving, as if searching for something.
"Right here, your Brother Chen is right here!" Without further ado, Mrs. Han dragged Sheng Shaochen’s hand to the bedside and then shoved it into Han Ruixin’s.
"Brother Chen... don’t leave... don’t go..." It seemed like Han Ruixin was having a nightmare, her eyes tightly shut, her head shaking nonstop, until she finally held Sheng Shaochen’s hand and gradually calmed down.
"See, I knew Ruxin would be . So, Shaochen, you should at least stay here and keep her company for a week," Mrs. Han pleaded with a hopeful expression.
Sheng Shaochen’s brow furrowed slightly, "I’ll stay for one night at most."
"This... How could that be enough? Sigh, I’ll give her father a call to keep him from worrying." Mrs. Han took out her phone to dial, thought for a moment, then deliberately pressed the power-off button. "Oh no, my phone is out of battery. Shaochen, let me borrow your phone."
