single stab

After half a month in the hospital, Jiang Xue's injury is gradually improving, but he is getting more and more depressed, often looking out of the window in a daze, silent when Li Zheng talks to him, he is indifferent and docile, as if all his minions have been pulled out The little beast lost the power to survive.

Li Zheng walked around him with a cheeky face every day, and he was happy to put his hot face on his cold butt, but he kept silent about what happened that day.

He didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. Jiang Xue wanted to leave him, but he didn't allow it.

And Jiang Xueru finally realized that all the futility is useless, he can eat the meal Li Zheng brought, and Li Zheng shyly wanted to hug him to sleep, but he didn't refuse, but the look in his eyes was dull and sleepy. Like a dead tree.

One day, he suddenly wanted to go downstairs for a walk. Although there were bodyguards watching behind him, at least Li Zheng wasn't there. Li Zheng went to buy a delicious dumpling shop as he asked.After Jiang Xue spoke for the first time during this period, Li Zheng was ecstatic, because the guards were tight enough, he went out with confidence.

Taking the elevator down to the first floor, when passing one of the outpatient rooms in the corridor, a girl suddenly rushed out, crying and shouting "I don't want an injection, I don't want an injection", and then bumped into Jiang Xue .

Jiang Xue's body was still weak, and she frowned in pain after she hit the wall firmly, but she stretched out her hand to push her away without saying a word.

The girl's tears and tears were covered with thick makeup, so her appearance was a little scary, but her voice was still very young.

She was wearing a leopard-print leather jacket and pants, dyed red hair, and shiny earrings, giving her the air of a bad girl from society.

She stared at Jiang Xue in a daze, as if stunned, until the nurse in the outpatient room chased her out, she suddenly woke up and hid behind Jiang Xue, choked up.

"I don't get injections, I don't get injections!"

The nurse holding the needle looked at Jiang Xue, who she used as a shield, in embarrassment, her face flushed slightly.

Jiang Xue stopped the bodyguard who was about to pull the girl away with her eyes, and tried to turn around to negotiate with her, but she pulled her sleeves hard and couldn't turn around, so she had to turn her head and say.

"Can you let go of me first?"

He didn't speak for a long time, and his voice was very hoarse. The girl froze for a moment, and pointed at the nurse's aggrieved request.

"If you drive her away, I will let go!"

Jiang Xue sighed silently in her heart, and spoke to the nurse gently.

"Sorry, can you go in first, she's agitated, I'll try to calm her down."

The nurse probably had never seen such a difficult patient before, so she nodded and went in with a blushing face.

The girl let go of her hand only after she saw the nurse go in, her eyes flicked around the bodyguard next to her, and she said aggressively.

"Little brother, can you take me out of the hospital?"

Jiang Xue turned around, looked at her expectant eyes and smiled, after being silent in the ward for too long, it was really interesting to suddenly meet such a noisy girl, he said patiently.

"The hospital is not a place for nonsense. Since you are sick, just obey the nurse and go out after the injection."

The girl seemed to be seventeen or eighteen years old, innocent and innocent, even the weird makeup seemed to become a little cute when she was pouting and acting coquettishly.

"I don't get injections! It hurts like hell! A small fever is nothing, the young man will be fine after a night's sleep. You must let me come to the hospital, really!"

She blinked and looked at Jiang Xue pitifully.

"Little brother, you are so good-looking, you must be very kind, please take me out of the hospital, my father's people are still guarding over there, they are fierce!"

Jiang Xue glanced at the men with serious faces looming at the corner, and thought, it turned out to be a little princess.

His gaze returned to the girl.

Hmm... the little princess who loves to play.

"Sorry, I can't leave the hospital either."

The girl was stunned, and then noticed the hospital gown on him, and asked cautiously as if she was very sympathetic and sad.

"Little brother, what's wrong with you, is it serious?"

Jiang Xue paused.

"It's just a minor illness."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was really worried about him, her eyebrows and eyes immediately raised again, and she asked seriously.

"Then you must get better quickly. You look so good-looking. When I take you to play, my friends will definitely envy me!"

Speaking of the latter, she couldn't help showing a triumphant smile.

Jiang Xue looked at her delicately.

"Wait... you take me to play?"

"Yes! I know a lot of interesting places!"

The girl suddenly became excited, and rummaged through the skull-shaped bag to find the pink mobile phone, and asked familiarly while tapping.

"What's your name, little brother? What's your phone number? Wechat ID?"

When she looked up and saw Jiang Xue's complex expression, she seemed to realize something, she immediately turned pale with fright, grabbed Jiang Xue's sleeve and condemned bitterly.

"Oh my god, little brother, don't you want to know me! I'm so cute! So cute!! So cute!!!"

"..."

Jiang Xue struggled to save her sleeve, but the girl was already holding him tightly with snot and tears, and burst into tears.

"I was rejected! Little brother, you are so cruel, I... woo woo... I am so pitiful..."

Jiang Xue's head was full of black lines, and when the girl was caught by her father's people, he looked helplessly at the heartbroken girl, and spoke softly.

"Don't cry, you will lose your makeup if you cry again."

The girl was sobbing with tears in her eyes.

"Anyway, you won't think I'm cute if you don't spend it!"

"...Sorry, I have to go."

Jiang Xue couldn't continue the conversation, and was worried about the delay, so she turned and walked towards the elevator.

The girl's tears stopped immediately, and she shouted excitedly behind him.

"Little brother, I will definitely find you! My name is Yuan Peipei, don't forget!"

When Jiang Xue returned to the ward, Li Zheng hadn't come back yet. He looked out the window absently, and suddenly found that the corners of his lips on the glass were raised, and the heavy gloom between his brows dissipated a lot.

Thinking that it was the girl's credit, he couldn't help laughing.

Young people are so energetic.

Li Zheng, who pushed the door and entered, was in a daze after seeing him laughing, and didn't even dare to move for a moment, thinking it was an illusion.

When Jiang Xue heard the doorbell, she lowered her eyes slightly, and the smile on her face dissipated quickly and silently like the clouds on the mountain peaks being disturbed by the wind.

Li Zheng watched him for a while before coming over, and asked tentatively while taking the lunch box out.

"What happened just now, so happy?"

Jiang Xue didn't intend to answer. Anyway, even if he didn't say anything, the bodyguards would report what happened just now to Li Zheng verbatim, so why did he bother.

After Li Zheng fidgeted and placed the lunch box on the small table, he really couldn't wait to leave the ward. After listening to the bodyguard's report in the corridor, he thought sourly.

How could Jiang Xue be so patient and gentle with a strange girl, but she immediately spoke sarcasticly to herself, and didn't want to say a word, hey.

He lifted his feet back to the ward in frustration, and just put his hand on the doorknob. Suddenly, he remembered something, his face changed slightly, and he dialed Li Duan's phone.

Li Duan was supposed to be in a meeting, but he didn't answer. Li Zheng was disturbed by the suspicion in his mind, and made several phone calls in a row, and finally got through.

"What's the hurry?"

"Brother, last time you said that Yuan Qi was engaged to the daughter of the president of some group?"

"Well, Yuansheng Group, what's the matter?"

"What's the girl's name?"

"It seems to be called Yuan Peipei. I heard that she is still in school."

Li Zhengxin sank sharply, his face was full of gloom, he endured it before speaking.

"My daughter-in-law met her in the hospital."

The hostility and vigilance in his words were too obvious, Li Duan immediately asked back.

"You suspect she did it on purpose?"

"Ah."

Li Zheng looked at Jiang Xue who was eating dumplings with his head bowed from the glass on the door, his dark eyes suddenly deepened, and he said flatly.

"I killed Yuan Qi, and she deliberately came close to avenge Yuan Qi, it's not impossible."

Li Duan pondered for a moment, and his tone became serious.

"I will send someone to investigate Yuan Peipei carefully. You should also strengthen the guards in the hospital and don't let them take advantage of the loopholes."

"Ah."

Li Zheng was pinching the case of the phone, his Shen Shen expression slightly cracked.

When she returned to the ward, Jiang Xue had already finished her meal, she was looking at the book in her hand intently, a small piece of white skin was exposed on the back of her bent neck, which shone brightly in the sun.

After packing up, Li Zheng sat on the side, staring at him and said suddenly.

"Daughter-in-law, let's go home."

Jiang Xue froze, as if she had been awakened by some unbearable memory, her face suddenly turned colder, and her fingertips pressing the pages of the book turned pale.

"I don't want to go back."

Li Zheng stretched out his hand to stroke his temples, and said tacitly and considerately.

"If you don't like the original place, I bought a new house. The location and decoration are very good. You will like it."

Jiang Xue tilted her head to avoid his hand, her soft black hair was scattered in front of her forehead, covering the emotion in her eyes, and he repeated in a somewhat unsteady tone.

"I don't want to go back, I want to stay in the hospital."

"What's so good about the hospital, it's smelly and unsafe."

Li Zheng murmured and put his arm around his shoulders, and continued to persuade him with coaxing and persuasion.

"Don't you want to read? There are so many noisy doctors and patients in the hospital, how much they disturb your study. It's better to be at home, quiet and comfortable, huh?"

Jiang Xue bowed her head and said nothing, and when Li Zhengxu babbled, almost thinking that he had succeeded in persuading her, he opened his mouth lightly, with a stubborn tone.

"I don't want to go back."

For a moment, Li Zheng's heart burst into a crackling anger, and he almost wanted to tie him up and carry him home, but when his gloomy eyes touched the unhealed hickey in the hollow of Jiang Xue's collarbone, he seemed to be stabbed again. The broken balloon deflated suddenly.

That night really went too far.

He was so annoyed by the headache again, that even Jiang Xue's stubbornness no longer had the heart to criticize him, and said in a guilty conscience.

"Then... then stay for a while longer. The hospital has a lot of facilities, so why don't you just do a full body checkup or something... But it's too noisy here. I'll ask them to change you to a quieter ward."

Jiang Xue's stiff back relaxed little by little. He looked down at the book, noncommittal to Li Zheng's suggestion.
