Chapter 317 I'll Buy You Breakfast
As the hazy light and shadows of dawn quietly fell, in the spacious and quiet VIP ward, there was only whiteness and tranquility.
Luo Jinxi lay on the soft, white bed, her consciousness slowly returning like the tide, and she gradually woke up.
She frowned slightly, and gently stroked her still dazed forehead with her slender fingers. Then, she slowly opened her eyes and looked around with the confusion of just waking up;
What came into view was the familiar yet unfamiliar ward layout, and I was sleeping alone on this large bed.
Suddenly, something flashed through her mind, and she sat up suddenly, calling out subconsciously, "Cheng Yu."
This call was particularly clear in the silent ward. She felt weak all over, as if there was a thin veil between her soul and body, so light and fluttery, and every movement seemed to have exhausted all her strength.
Her mouth was filled with the bitter taste left after the high fever subsided. The taste spread along her throat, making her frown slightly.
As her eyes wandered, she caught a glimpse of the sofa not far away. Jiang Chengyu was curled up there, holding Chou Bao tightly in his arms, with a quilt casually covering his body.
His head was slightly tilted to one side, with a few strands of hair hanging in front of his forehead. His eyes were closed and his breathing was even and deep. He was obviously immersed in a dream.
The morning light shone through the gaps in the window onto his face, outlining the strong contours of his face, but also casting a faint dark blue tint under his eyes, as if silently telling of his fatigue and hard work.
Luo Jinxi looked at him, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, including relief, care, and some indescribable feelings.
Luo Jinxi gently lifted the quilt, trying to be as gentle as possible, for fear of disturbing the tranquility of the room. She slowly got out of bed barefoot, taking every step carefully, as if the ground under her feet was fragile thin ice.
She slowly approached Jiang Chengyu, her figure as light as a falling feather. When she reached him, she slowly squatted down, her knees lightly touching the cold ground, and stared at his face without blinking.
Jiang Chengyu's face was like a beautiful painting in the morning light. His eyebrows were like distant black, and when his eyes were closed, his long and curled eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow under his eyes.
The high nose bridge stood like a mountain, with lines that were firm yet graceful, and the slightly pale thin lips revealed a bit of fragility that was usually concealed.
Luo Jinxi's eyes were full of pity and affection. She couldn't help but reach out her hand, and her slender fingers gently stroked the hair in front of his forehead, gently pushing away the strands of hair that blocked his face, allowing his beautiful face to be displayed before her eyes without reservation.
The slender fingers kept a distance and gently stroked his charming eyebrows, high nose bridge, and slowly moved to his thin lips and eyelashes.
Luo Jinxi's infatuated eyes were filled with endless love; his mind emerged with the scene of her beating him up in the yard of the Goldsmith Bay Villa without any reason.
He was mercilessly slapped to the ground, grabbed by the collar and asked him what was going on with Xiaoyue, using foul language to hurl at him.
He got in the car and left without a second thought. I didn't trust his character, so I pointed a gun at his head and forced him to drive slowly into the yard of the sea view villa and into the villa that looked like a palace.
In the middle of the night, she misunderstood him as having bad intentions and pushed him to the ground, "Jiang Chengyu, what do you want to do? If you don't want to die, then be quiet."
"I've already told you that there are many rooms here. You can sleep in any of them. It will be more comfortable than in the living room! I just want to wake you up and let you sleep in your room."
"Are you so kind?"
"What else? Let me go."
"You are drunk and bold, and you are planning something bad, right?"
"It really fits the saying 'Only women and villains are hard to raise'."
Jiang Chengyu let out a shrill scream, which echoed in the silent room. His eyes widened with anger as he asked, "Luo Jinxi, are you still human? You are unreasonable."
Seeing this, Luo Jinxi finally let go of Jiang Chengyu. Jiang Chengyu supported his shoulders painfully and slowly stood up. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
Beads of sweat poured down his cheeks, which were slightly distorted by pain, and dripped onto the floor.
He did not look at Luo Jinxi, but walked silently to the sofa, gently placed his injured right hand on the back of the sofa, turned around suddenly, and with a "bone crack" sound, he endured the severe pain and repositioned the dislocated joint.
Jiang Chengyu was seen moving his repositioned arm and dragging his tired body upstairs. His back looked particularly lonely and desolate under the light.
Luo Jinxi was lost in thought as she thought about every little detail of their time together. She was intoxicated by the song "Dearest Lover", the canteen of the military hospital, the cheers of the officers and soldiers below the stage, and "Well done, Jiang Chengyu".
Jiang Chengyu seemed to sense something strange. His originally steady breathing fluctuated slightly and his eyes opened hazily.
What came into view was Luo Jinxi's face close at hand. At that moment, the confusion in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a trace of concern: "Jinxi, are you awake?"
Luo Jinxi collected his wandering thoughts and raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a gentle smile: "Why am I in your bed?"
Jiang Chengyu let out a long breath after a deep sleep, and smiled back, his voice a little hoarse from waking up in the morning:
"The day before yesterday morning, I found that you had a high fever. There was no hook for the IV on the accompanying bed, so I carried you to the big bed. I'm sorry, Jinxi, for taking the initiative without your consent."
Luo Jinxi's eyes were full of tenderness. He shook his head gently and said with a smile, "It happened suddenly. It's understandable."
Jiang Chengyu wanted to get up, but suddenly felt his right arm numb and the numbness spread throughout his arm like an electric current.
Luo Jinxi was quick to act. He quickly lifted the quilt covering him and stretched out his hands to help him up.
At this moment, she saw Jiang Chengyu holding Choubao's arm, which was wrapped in gauze.
Her eyes tensed up instantly, and her voice rose a few notches unconsciously: "How did your arm get hurt?"
Jiang Chengyu held onto the sofa with his left hand and prepared to sit up. He turned his head slightly, his eyes somewhat evasive, and hurriedly explained, "It's okay, it will be fine in two days."
Luo Jinxi's thoughts suddenly drifted back to his childhood, when he had a high fever convulsion and his mother stayed by his bedside in the hospital, her face full of tears from heartache.
My mother was worried that I would bite my tongue when I was having a convulsion, so in a panic I ignored the pain and stuffed my wrist into her mouth.
That scene flashed through her mind like a flash of lightning. She seemed to suddenly wake up and asked anxiously, "Cheng Yu, did I have another high fever seizure? Did you bite me?"
Jiang Chengyu avoided her gaze, with a hint of subtle tenderness and tolerance in his eyes, and comforted her: "What's the big deal? We are doctors, and everyone would do the same in an emergency."
Luo Jinxi's eyes were filled with guilt and self-blame, and his voice trembled slightly: "Cheng Yu, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you; I beat you up without mercy."
Then she reached out and held his cheek: "Did it hurt a lot when I hit you that night?"
Jiang Chengyu smiled indifferently and pretended to be relaxed: "You said it was a misunderstanding, so let's not talk about the past. You sit here and help me hold my stinky baby. I'll go to the restaurant and pack breakfast for you."
Luo Jinxi waved her hands quickly, pressed Jiang Chengyu's arms with both hands and said, "No, I'm not hungry."
At this moment, Xiao Yue opened the door and walked in. Seeing Luo Jinxi kneeling in front of Jiang Chengyu in an eye-catching posture, he asked with concern: "Officer Luo, what's wrong with you? You don't have to be so formal to apologize, right?"
Luo Jinxi was confused: "Xiao Yue, what are you talking about?" Luo Jinxi's self-esteem was hurt, and he quickly stood up and stood there.
Xiao Yue was simple-minded and said, "Isn't it? I thought you were here to apologize for biting Young Master Jiang last night!"
Luo Jinxi was surprised and asked, "Did I really bite his arm?"
Xiao Yue nodded and responded, “Last night, Choubao was crying, and I came to find Master Jiang, and I saw him holding you and treating your fever, and you were trembling all over and biting his arm;
Look, there are still traces of his blood on the white quilt!" Xiao Yue said while pointing to the big white bed.
Jiang Chengyu looked at Luo Jinxi's sad expression and hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Xiao Yue, I'm a doctor. Anyone would do the same thing if they encountered an emergency. Stop talking. You came here to hold the stinky baby, right?"
"Yes, Master Jiang, please give me the stinky treasure!" Xiao Yue said as he quickly walked towards Jiang Chengyu.
"Hey, be careful." Jiang Chengyu whispered as he carefully handed the stinky baby to Xiao Yue.
The stinky baby was still sucking his little hands in a daze, babbling with the unique sounds of a baby. His pink little face was as cute as a ripe apple.
Jiang Chengyu walked to the door, opened it, and whispered to Choubao, "Be good, Choubao, it's time to have breakfast! Daddy will come to find you in a minute!"
Luo Jinxi watched Jiang Chengyu's every move with tender eyes.
Jiang Chengyu closed the door, turned around and approached Luo Jinxi, with unquestionable concern in his eyes:
“Jinxi is just getting better, go back to bed immediately, your condition could be serious or minor, and cannot be ignored.
I'll be back soon, wait for me." After that, he picked up Luo Jinxi like a gentleman and walked towards the big white bed.
Luo Jinxi gently wrapped her arms around his neck and stared at his profile, her heart filled with an inseparable attachment, unwilling to let go.
Jiang Chengyu carefully placed Luo Jinxi on the bed, but Luo Jinxi clasped his hands tightly, unwilling to let go. Their eyes met, as if time had stopped.
Jiang Chengyu's face flushed with embarrassment, and he said softly: "Jinxi, let go."
Luo Jinxi's eyes were full of attachment and reluctance, and her voice was slightly trembling and pleading: "Cheng Yu, hold me for a little while longer, just a little while, okay? I really... don't want to let go, I want to stay like this for a while."
Jiang Chengyu was dragged by Luo Jinxi to lie on the big bed, looking at Luo Jinxi's beautiful face from a close distance. Luo Jinxi hooked Jiang Chengyu's neck, and couldn't help but slowly raised her head, looking at his thin lips intently and kissing him.
Jiang Chengyu supported himself on the bed with both hands, leaning over Luo Jinxi in an extremely ambiguous posture, "Jinxi, please don't be like this, okay? You know that Xiaoji and I are married, so please don't deceive yourself, okay? Wake up, okay?"
Luo Jinxi couldn't stop her tears from flowing out of her eyes, "Cheng Yu, I just want you to hug me tightly, I'm in so much pain here."
Jiang Chengyu sighed helplessly, slowly stretched out his hands, gently but firmly grasped Luo Jinxi's arms, and used a little force to separate them.
At the same time, he said in a gentle and apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, you need to have a good rest now. I'll go buy you breakfast. Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he stood up, walked to the sofa, picked up his coat, and strode out of the ward, leaving Luo Jinxi staring at his departing back, feeling mixed emotions.
