Chapter 43

Hank arrived at the hospital that evening.He also wears a thick hood, mask, and gloves.Hank still looked like a blue beast before he researched the serum that turned him back to his original form.It is precisely because of this that he had to reduce the number of times he appeared in the hospital.Only visit him at night when no one is watching.

During this visit, Hank once again measured the length and proportion of Charles' thighs and legs, and also measured Charles' hip, hip, and waist circumferences.In Hank's words, "If current medicine can't help you stand up, at least I want to see if my science can help you—"

He is determined to make a prosthetic or something else for Charles to help Charles stand up and walk.

It is precisely because of this that Hank was still busy even after the war. He not only had to prepare the serum, but also researched tools for Charles that could help him.And the rest of Alex and Sean were not idle, they were sent by Hank to clean up Charles' old house.

Because Charles had mentioned that he planned to turn the house he inherited from his parents into a school after the war.Although this is just a concept, whether it is Hank or Fu Jiang or any of them, they hope that when Charles is discharged from the hospital, he will be surprised that his wish is fulfilled.

Only Fu Jiang was left to take care of Charles.

In fact, the relationship between Charles and Fu Jiang has been deadlocked for a long time.For at least a week, Charles had not had any communication with Fu Jiang because of the death of Agent Mora.Hank and the others see these in their eyes, so they hope that Fu Jiang will take care of Charles, so that the conflict between the two can be resolved more quickly.

But this time when he came to see Charles, Hank realized that things were obviously not going well.

He looked worriedly at Charles and then at Fu Jiang, and finally sighed heavily-this is not something he can help, it can only be solved by themselves.

And when Hank left, the solitary ward returned to silence again.

Charles looked at Fu Jiang. The girl concentrated on packing the dinner plate, and her movements were much more proficient than in the first two days.After tidying up the table, she even took out an apple and peeled it. Although the movement was a bit clumsy, it was already in shape.

They didn't look at each other or talk to each other, as if Fu Jiang was used to such a silent Charles, and he was also used to being quiet by his side.

The youth showed a touch of shame.He suddenly pondered, is he being too harsh on Fu Jiang?

Charles hopes that Fu Jiang can pay attention to life, because she has never shown any shame or guilt for Mora's death.She didn't even look like she'd just killed someone, but instead had broken a toy and snapped a twig.Charles wanted her to value life.Because he values ​​himself...

However, at this moment, Charles couldn't help defending Fu Jiang in his heart, all because the person she valued more was herself.

Charles hopes that Fu Jiang will value himself.In his free time, he began to sort out the trivial pictures he had seen in the consciousness of Eric, Ruiwen, and Hank, and saw many things he hadn't noticed in the process.Then he found that when he paid more and more attention to Fu Jiang, the girl actually didn't love him as much as she showed.

But is it her fault?Wouldn't it be too self-righteous if I thought so?Of course Fu Jiang likes himself and values ​​himself. Charles knows this and he will never be clean and wrong, but can it be a reason to blame her because she loves herself less than he loves her?

The answer is undoubtedly no.

So, what is the last remaining question...?

The young man lowered his head and looked at his legs, and eventually he had to sigh.The problem is still himself.

"I think...you should find what you like." Charles said with difficulty, his voice was dry and harsh, like a branch trembling in the cold wind in winter, light and erratic, and he could not even notice it if he didn't listen carefully.

Fu Jiang seemed to have never heard of it.She was busy cutting the apple in her hand into buds——

"You shouldn't be wasting your time on me. In fact, I've been thinking about it for a long time."

Charles turned his head: "Maybe you want to go to college? I can write a recommendation letter for you to increase your interview points. Of course, I believe no one can reject you during the interview."

"If you want to go to Raven... or Eric, I can help you get in touch with them too. You know, I can't go very far, but I'm still free in my mind—"

"I,"

[Crack! ] Responding to him was Fu Jiang's blade embedded in the cabinet along the apple's flesh, its crack let out a loud wail and then trembled and stopped slowly.Then Fu Jiang pulled out the knife.There was a bit of irritability on her face: "Let's eat fruit!"

As he spoke, he inserted a piece of fruit hard with the tip of the knife, and handed it to Charles' lips.

The young man's blue eyes blinked hesitantly, hesitantly opened his lips, and bit the flesh.After the teeth squeezed the pulp, sweet juice flowed out of the mouth, and Charles couldn't help but relax more: "I want to say—"

"I said shut up—" Fu Jiang inserted the knife into the bedside table angrily. This time, the table clicked again, and it was completely split in two and fell to the ground.

Charles finally closed his mouth as Fu Jiang wished, but before she walked out of the room, he said again unwillingly: "I want to say"

"To shut up."

"No, I have to say—"

"It's annoying."

"I'm going to the toilet."

……Oh.

The final result was that Fu Jiang hugged Charles, and he became much more obedient when he was in Fu Jiang's arms. Because of his inconvenience, Charles always behaved shyly when he was hugged by Fu Jiang.Fortunately, their ward has its own bathroom and accompanying bed.

She hugged Charles, then slowly lowered him to the ground, facing the toilet and wrapping around Charles' waist with one hand.

The man blushed and turned his head to stop: "No, the rest... I can do it myself!"

His ears were red with embarrassment.Fu Jiang stared at the firm expression on Charles's face and had to nod in cooperation, then she stepped back slowly and hugged Charles' waist from behind, supporting him from falling down.And this position obviously made Charles extremely at ease.

Although he was still embarrassed, he was able to restrain his embarrassment.

After a while, the sound of water jets splashing in the toilet was heard, mixed with the smell of medicine and urine, which was not pleasant, but far from pungent.

Fu Jiang slowly pressed her face against Charles's back. Through the touching skin, she heard Charles' heartbeat getting faster and faster, and the sound [pound, thump, thump] was beating... ...like Charles is tense.

Fu Jiang's arms hugged tighter, and the hug became tighter.Even after Charles had addressed his physical needs, they maintained the hug.

Still speechless.But the gap between the two people seems to have become smaller, and Fu Jiang can feel it.

When Charles fell asleep, Fu Jiang sat beside him with his chin resting for a long time.She couldn't help falling into deep thought again and again, thinking about her new ability: Why can't I help Charles?

Is it because the blood provided is not enough?

Is it because I'm not skilled enough to control the ability of blood?

Is it because I haven't fully stimulated its healing power?

Because of what?

In this layer of confusion and doubts, Fu Jiang slowly reached Charles' side.After staring for a long time, she kissed Charles' eyes, and then slowly lifted Charles' clothes.

That thin body looked heartbreaking at the moment, and his sunken shoulder blades in just two weeks made Fu Jiang feel heartbroken.And with this heartache, she slowly cut open her hand with a knife.

The bright red and warm blood flowed to Charles' waist little by little, and then quickly penetrated into his skin.Fu Jiang concentrated on the process of blood loss, controlling them to flow slowly around Charles' spine. She worked so hard, trying to use her own strength to help Charles heal the wound.

Soon, the excessive blood loss made Fu Jiang feel a little dizzy, and she had to grope and sit on the side of the bed.

Then Fu Jiang activated his ability again.

But this time, there are obviously many more changes than before.

When the blue light in the palm appeared, Fu Jiang closed his eyes.She carefully felt the blood in Charles' body.Feel their power.This novel experience made her more concentrated, and it was the first time that she truly felt the power of her own blood and the influence it had on other people's bodies.

When they start to regenerate, they will absorb all the nutrients for cell growth and ripening.However, when they are purely for the purpose of healing, they will crowd around to repair those broken cells and bones.

When everything was over, Fu Jiang sweated a lot on his forehead.

But all this is far from a success.Repairing others is obviously much more difficult than repairing one's own body, especially for the first time Fu Jiang urged blood to do these things. She realized that she was simply too weak, and she was more eager to master this ability.

Because of this, Fu Jiang decided to help Charles repair the completely damaged bones and cells every day until Charles recovered.Although there is some selfishness of proficiency... But at least in the point of Charles' recovery, Fu Jiang will do his best to help him.

She wishes Charles a speedy recovery.She wants to see him healthy.

While Fu Jiang quietly wiped the sweat flowing down his cheeks, Charles slowly opened his eyes, as if he had never really fallen asleep.Those blue eyes were also slightly dim in the night, but they still had the same moving light as before.

He silently recalled the feelings of the blood dripping continuously on his body.The warm blood made him feel extremely hot where it dripped.Charles woke up from the gradually pungent fishy smell.

When he saw Fu Jiang's sweat-drenched hair and pale complexion after blood loss in the dark, those suppressed complicated emotions flooded into his heart again.It made it impossible for Charles to pretend that he was indifferent.He could hardly help sighing: How could Fu Jiang be injured and sacrificed for himself so naturally?

But in the end, Charles just slowly closed his eyes, pretending to be unaware of what was happening in front of him.Only he himself knew that something had really changed at this moment.

At least Charles can no longer persuade Fu Jiang to leave him...he can't do it anymore.

If possible, he hopes that Fu Jiang can be used to stay——

For him alone.

[Charles Francis Xavier/Professor X: Favorability 5, current favorability 94. ]

[Double update again!Are you moved? If you are moved, go to bookmark the author, okay? (QAQ)]

Before Charles was discharged from the hospital, his attending physician Airy tried to publish his medical paper on spinal cord injury through Charles' case, but was politely rejected by Charles, but even so Airy still insisted on personally seeing him into the car.No one can really hate Charles, he is always charming enough to make others understand his difficulties and respect his decisions.They even exchanged contact information, in the words of the attending physician: "You will become a miracle in the history of medicine!"

He was extremely amazed at Charles's speed of healing without warning. In the short two weeks after he handed over the diagnosis to Charles, it was as if some miracle had descended on Charles. There is even a trend toward healing of spinal cord injuries that add more complications over time.

This process is undoubtedly obvious. Of course, Dr. Airi will not know that such a healing speed is actually too slow for Fu Jiang, the person who created this miracle.

In short, the reality is that Charles' diagnosis of spinal cord injury has been rewritten. His legs have sensory responses, and although he still has occasional symptoms of trunk paralysis, he has entered the rehabilitation stage, and he can no longer stand and walk. So difficult.If this trend continues, I believe it won't take long before it will be as if it hasn't been hurt.

Yes, it is truly a miracle.

Charles smiled and listened to Dr. Ally's blessings and emotions, and couldn't help but look at Fu Jiang.She stood quietly behind Charles, with her hands on the wheelchair and waited silently for their chat to end.

Doctor Ai Li couldn't help but fix his eyes on Fu Jiang's face again, his expression showed admiration and obsession, but fortunately he hasn't lost his demeanor yet.Quickly looks away (and then back again after a moment) before offending someone.

"Your fiancée is so beautiful! I wish you happiness, and I think she will be the happiest person when you recover." In the final farewell, Dr. Airy blessed her so much.

Charles blinked slowly at this: "Yes,"

He raised the corner of his lips slightly: "She is."

Erics drove the car to the entrance of the hospital, but Hank still didn't show up. The medicine he took last time didn't go well. Haven't been in the hospital for a week.

As the car door swung open, Charles tried to stand up on his own.It is not so difficult for him to do this now, but Fu Jiang always prevents him from acting on his own.

She pressed Charles on the wheelchair with one hand and couldn't move, with a smile on her face: "I'll do it."

With that said, he hugged Charles horizontally.For nearly five weeks, he was hugged and hugged, and even going to the toilet and bathing was contracted by Fu Jiang alone. In fact, Charles was not so resistant (it could even be said to be a habit).

Until Charles noticed the narrow eyes of Erics and Sean sitting in the front seat, he touched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment, but there was still a light pink on his cheeks.

Fu Jiang turned a blind eye.She gently placed Charles on the window seat, her breath scattered on Charles' neck, watching Charles turn his head uncomfortably due to the intimate distance.

Sean and Alex were obviously close. The two of them jokingly chatted about recent events, and soon ignored the two people sitting in the back seat. Of course, they could also ignore them deliberately.

Fu Jiang played with Charles' hand even more brazenly.The fingers were long and slender, with full white crescents on the pink and round nails.Fu Jiang's fingers climbed on the line of his arm, and when they reached his shoulders, they would jump into Charles' palm.After repeating it several times, Charles clenched his hand as she wished.

Fu Jiang rested his head on Charles' shoulder.

She could feel Charles letting go of her, sense his irresistible closeness to her, but it didn't change much.

They haven't communicated for a long time.

When the car stopped, Fu Jiang held Charles in his arms again.The man lowered his head quietly and leaned on Fu Jiang's shoulder, and the soft hair brushed Fu Jiang's neck lightly, making her feel a little itchy.She held Charles tighter until Alex had pulled the wheelchair out of the trunk.

And when Charles looked up, he saw the house left to him by his adoptive parents.This huge mansion has not been lived in for many years, and Charles is caught in the memory for a while, until Hank walks out of the house.

The blue-skinned beast lowered its head shyly, but finally scratched its hair clumsily, and looked at Fu Jiang for help, expressing the hope that Fu Jiang would save the scene.Fu Jiang smiled at this, and she knelt down on one knee to the left of Charles' wheelchair, looking up at him:

"You once said that you wanted to transform this house into a school for mutants, that you hoped to establish an environment where mutants can grow up normally and happily. You said that you hoped to change the world within your power. The many injustices against mutants—”

"This is a gift, are you ready to unwrap it?"

Fu Jiang said, and handed his hand in front of Charles, with his palm up and his expression disturbed.She waited for Charles to take her hand.

And when Charles really held it, he felt Fu Jiang's slight undetectable trembling.Then Fu Jiang raised his smiling face again: "I'm glad you like it too."

Charles was pushed by Fu Jiang into the room.When revealing Hank's side, the blue beast silently took a step back.Obviously, he already knew that Fu Jiang had a great relationship with Charles.Although others don't know where they have developed, Charles' injury obviously makes Hank unwilling to win Fu Jiang's favor at this time.

"I'll compete with Charles when he's well. I can't let him feel abandoned by his friends and loved ones after he's injured. I am just as straightforward.He thinks this method is invincible and extremely despicable.

Charles shook his head helplessly, he was not unhappy to be offended, but a little dumbfounded by Hank's confidence.Charles didn't know why Hank insisted that Fu Jiang also valued or liked him.

Of course, this thought was answered when seeing Hank's memory.The girl's warm smile, shy bowed head, ambiguous doubts, and the care and comfort that almost stayed up all night after Hank mutated...

Charles even knew for the first time that so many stories happened between Hank and Fu Jiang.

He quietly lowered his head and patted the non-existent dust on his knees.At this moment, except for Fu Jiang, no one could see that he was so depressed that he was almost injured.

However, Fu Jiang didn't say a word, she greeted Hank calmly, and gave him a face-to-face salute.The soft cheek even rubbed against Hank's face.Hank raised his hand in bewilderment and then put it down, as if he suddenly forgot what he was going to say.

At the same time, the favorability increased by 1 point, reaching 91.Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Charles' quietly clenched hands, the knuckles were white, and in order not to be noticed, Charles silently covered his hands with his sleeves.

His heart seemed to be gently pulled by some unknown force, and Fu Jiang felt that he was in pain for a moment.For the first time, she realized her cruelty, but she couldn't say a word of apology for it.

In the end, Fu Jiang just blinked slowly, pretending that he didn't notice anything.

She chatted and laughed with Hank naturally, and even teased Hank about his stronger and taller body.Hank kept his head silent at a loss. He already knew that Fu Jiang had no malice towards him, and she did not express discomfort with any changes made to Hank's appearance.And Fu Jiang's attitude also affected Hank himself.

He panicked for a moment at Fu Jiang's joke, then touched the bridge of his nose shyly, blinked his eyes shyly and quickened his pace.

Fu Jiang never let go of his hand pushing Charles' wheelchair.

This journey was undoubtedly tormenting for Charles.He never knew that he was so narrow-minded, the needle-like sharp jealousy stung him, making Charles and even the normal communication, hugging and kissing between Fu Jiang and Hank unbearable.He was tired and disgusted by himself like this, but he had to force himself to face everyone with a smile.

They opened the door of each room to Charles, and showed him the teaching equipment that was completely built for mutants.Their expressions (especially Hank) showed frank expectations, expecting their hard work and efforts to be valued and liked.

It was precisely because of this that Charles refused to be the spoiler.Until parting, Charles did not let the smile fade from his face.Those blue eyes sincerely thanked every partner, but when Fu Jiang proposed dinner, she rejected her.

"No need." Charles realized that his tone was too stiff after he said it, and he hesitated to remedy: "I'm a little too tired, I want to rest for a while..."

Fu Jiang nodded after being silent: "Then I'll wait until you get better before going to see you—"

The conversation went nowhere.In the end Charles rejected everyone's wishes to send him back to his room.His smile couldn't even conceal the far-fetchedness: "I'm not disabled yet, I can go back by myself—"

Having said that, everyone fell silent.Fu Jiang watched Charles leave silently: he seemed too lonely.

And that night, Fu Jiang knocked on Charles' door again.

She waited at the door for a long time, so long that she almost thought that Charles was no longer in the room - when the door opened, he was leaning on the wall with a cane, his blue eyes were not as bright as before: "Why are you here?"

Fu Jiang could hardly help but want to sigh.What kind of expression is this?

If he was tired of himself, why did Charles' blue eyes still light up when he saw him?If it is said to be against Fu Jiang's approach, why did Fu Jiang frown together after Fu Jiang showed a disappointed expression?He neither wants to go by himself, nor does he want to stay by himself.

This kind of self-esteem and persistence from men made Charles draw a line between himself and Fu Jiang over and over again, but was shaken again and again in Fu Jiang's pressing step by step.

I'm afraid even Charles himself doesn't know what he wants.He just couldn't accept Fu Jiang calmly again.Of course, this doesn't mean that Charles really wants Fu Jiang to leave.

She is in his heart, unfortunately, Charles doesn't think he is also in Fu Jiang's heart.

The girl easily pushed open the door of the room, and took out the dinner that had been in her hand: "You haven't gone out all day, I..." She sighed: "We are all worried about you."

He took a step closer and locked the door with his hands.

When Fu Jiang walked into the room, she saw the water overflowing from the bathtub in the open bathroom. She quickly got into the bathroom and turned off the faucet, but her mood improved.Fu Jiang leaned on the door and watched Charles slowly move forward on crutches: "I thought you didn't want to open the door for me~ Are you going to take a bath?"

Charles nodded.

"Then I'll help you—"

"No!" Charles refused without hesitation. The calm mask on his face was shattered, revealing the panic and bewilderment inside. The pink color climbed on his cheeks again, obviously thinking of the many blessings given by Fu Jiang when he was inconvenient. help.

Charles shook his head resolutely, he almost forgot that he was not so comfortable in his actions.Stepping back almost tripped him.

Almost.

Fu Jiang hugged him, more precisely, they hugged each other.This hug is intimate, and the body is completely fitted together.Charles' face was red with shame, he was annoyed that he was shaken so easily, but he couldn't escape Fu Jiang's shackles.

However, Fu Jiang did not follow Charles' strength to let go of the other party. In fact, Fu Jiang looked like the injured person instead.

She slowly leaned her head on Charles' shoulder, begging in a soft and weak voice: "Don't move." Charles stopped moving.

After they kept this posture for a long time, Fu Jiang asked again: "Why do you keep running away?" She looked really confused: "Can't you just take me by your side like this?"

Charles didn't know how to answer.He stretched out his generous palm and gently stroked Fu Jiang's hair. He understood that Fu Jiang could not understand himself.

Until she really falls in love with someone... she will never experience the bitterness, jealousy, sharpness and anger in a relationship.These emotions will make even the most graceful people reveal their sharpest side.As for Charles, he didn't want to make himself look too embarrassed.

His contradictory hope is that even if Fu Jiang doesn't love him, he still won't look down on him.

However, Charles thought that Fu Jiang didn't understand, but he heard the girl's questioning more and more sharply: "What kind of love do you want from me?"

"You can't just keep silent and let me guess you or understand you, and you can't just because you can read people's minds you think I should too! It's just too hard for me!" she heard It sounds like you're sad:

"I know you must have seen through my narrowness and selfishness, my greed and willfulness, my frivolity and disapproval of so-called [love], but you can't just despise me because of this!"

"There are many ways [to love someone] in this world, and you can't think that my feelings are not sincere enough just because I don't love you the way you want. After all, I'm trying so hard to win your favor , I want you to like me more, and at the same time be more happy and joyful, I want you, all of you, good or bad. Isn't that enough? "

"I won't even ask you for more—" Charles felt the skin on his chest soaked with tears. He wanted to sit up and look at Fu Jiang's face, but was pressed down by the girl even more forcefully.

And when she finally sorted out her emotions, Fu Jiang also turned her head away at the same time: "If you don't want to see me, then you won't see me again."

When she stood up slowly, Charles somehow felt that if Fu Jiang was not kept this time, then she would really disappear in his own world.If he can't make Fu Jiang see any hope, then she won't try any more.

The girl took a sly step back, and then stubbornly insisted that Charles step forward by himself.If Charles didn't come over, then she would back away forever.

Charles kept her.That hand held Fu Jiang's wrist tightly, and the expression in his eyes showed a trace of embarrassment and anxiety: "Don't go..."

Charles said so, turning his face away: "You, don't you still want to help me take a bath...?"

Charles lowered his head and stared at the steaming bathtub in front of him. The shampoo produced by Fu Jiang floated thick bubbles on the surface of the water, and Charles was almost unable to stand still.

When he really couldn't take a bath, he had to accept Fu Jiang's help... But now he is extremely awake and healthy!Why did he have to use this way to keep Fu Jiang?Charles wanted to shoot himself into the wall!

But in the end, he was just stripped clean by Fu Jiang and carried into the bathtub.She sat behind Charles and washed Charles' hair.When Charles was almost drowsy, he stepped into the bathtub between his legs.Then when Charles opened his eyes, he saw Fu Jiang squatting slowly opposite him.

The white legs stretched out in front of his eyes, and the slender pink toes gently touched Charles' stomach.Fu Jiang didn't seem to think it was strange at all, and even rubbed more foam under Charles' gaze.

Then Fu Jiang leaned in front of Charles, his obsidian-like eyes glowed brightly, and he smiled affectionately: "It's time for you to wash my hair—"

Charles looked obediently at her black hair sticking to her body.Part of the long black hair floated in the water, rippling with the water waves, making Charles' heartbeat follow the ups and downs.When Fu Jiang took a step closer, the overflowing water splashed on the ground as she approached.Charles was breathing hard.

No one knows how this all happened.The chemical reaction in the intimacy in the water is very natural, just like two people who fell into the water had to exchange breaths at the bottom of the water, the oxygen fought through the lips, and in the end it only aroused more intense sparks, tearing them apart Completely ignite each other.

The ivory white and bronze skin entangled the ups and downs of the water through the flowing transparent water, and the scalding water splashed with intense passion/tide and rapid panting/breathing.

[See what the author has to say later in the article]

The author has something to say: her hoarse voice turned into broken groans in the more intense collisions.

Like two fish swept ashore by the tide, they are constantly sucking the sweet lip balm from each other's mouth due to thirst, and the sound of the waves beating on the reef is gradually getting stronger and harder——

It wasn't until the night became darker, until the running water was cold, that the constant beating of the waves gradually stopped.

Finally, they exchanged a kiss.

Those emotions mixed with jealousy, hatred, confusion, incomprehension... Those emotions that separated the two souls who wanted to get closer finally reached a reconciliation at this moment.

Charles smiled and arched Fu Jiang with his straight nose, the light in his blue eyes was bright and moving:

"I love you."
