Chapter 10: Standing on tiptoes can kiss happiness
Do you believe this is fate?
I believe its name is destiny.
01
The hospital was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant, which irritated the nose and made people feel uncomfortable. However, Ju Chenxi, like an elegant prince, lay peacefully on the white bed.
His forehead was tightly wrapped with a white medical bandage, and the fine blood oozing out of the wound was clearly visible. My mind was in a mess, and I kept thinking back to the time before Ju Chenxi was sent to the hospital, when we were besieged by Li Kai's gang of thugs: provocative, fierce, and hateful. Ju Chenxi and I were no match for them, as they were experienced.
Thinking of this, crazy tears welled up in my eyes again, because I never thought that Ju Chenxi would be hurt for protecting me.
At first I couldn't help sobbing quietly, but later it became increasingly difficult to control my emotions, so I had to go outside the ward to cry.
"Xiaobei, why are you still here?" The moment I pushed open the door of the ward, I saw Su Xiaobei squatting on the ground beside the door, with his head on his knees and his arms clasped. When he saw me pushing the door and walking out, he suddenly raised his head as if he had seen a 'life-saving straw'.
"Is Ju Chenxi awake?" He asked about Ju Chenxi's condition with concern.
"Not yet, alas." When I thought of Ju Chenxi lying on the hospital bed surrounded by needles, my face was filled with worry again.
"It should be fine, don't worry." At this moment, Su Xiaobei, like an older brother next door, gave me the most caring and warm comfort.
"If it weren't for me, wuwuwu..." I blamed myself, the feeling of pain was beyond words.
"Okay, stop talking. At least everyone is safe now, right?"
"Wow..." I couldn't suppress my sad emotions and my tears flowed like a rushing river.
At this moment, Su Xiaobei understood that no matter how much he said, it would be difficult to control my sadness, so he could only stand in front of me silently until I calmed down completely.
"Are you feeling better?" His voice was gentle, exactly the comfort I needed at that moment.
"Well, I shouldn't cry anymore. I should save some energy and take good care of Ju Chenxi." I wiped the remaining tears from my face and said firmly.
"That's good." Su Xiaobei paused and continued, "Student Yan, I have always wanted to ask you a question." Su Xiaobei looked at me seriously and asked.
"Okay." I answered with doubt in my heart.
"Actually, you have always liked Ju Chenxi, right?"
The secret in my heart seemed to be revealed, I felt a little timid and shy, but in front of Su Xiaobei, he always took care of me like a brother and treated me well in every way, and I shamefully used his love for me to forget Ju Chenxi, and I felt ashamed for this. So I decided not to hide and retreat anymore, I wanted to answer this question directly.
"I'm sorry, Xiaobei, just as you said, I really like Ju Chenxi." When something finally takes off its secret disguise, the mood becomes a lot more relaxed.
"So it turns out that what they were spreading was true." Su Xiaobei talked to himself, but there was an obvious sense of loss on his face.
"What's the rumor?" I asked him puzzledly.
"They're nothing more than some rumors about you and Ju Chenxi, but now it seems that some things have been confirmed." As he spoke, Su Xiaobei pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed a helpless smile.
"Oh?" His words always make me full of doubts.
"Ju Chenxi, who is usually arrogant and indifferent, would actually show an unusual attitude in front of you. Even when facing gangsters, he would risk his own safety to protect you, just because they said something hurtful to you... Alas, I'm so stupid that I only realized it now." Su Xiaobei muttered to himself, and I always maintained a questioning attitude.
"Xiaobei, what are you talking about?" Forgive me for not being able to keep up with his pace at this moment.
"It's nothing, you don't have to pay attention to it." Su Xiaobei sighed deeply, and then added, "Classmate Yan, if you really like him, take the initiative to tell him, and don't let this love become a regret. As for my previous confession to you, I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Su Xiaobei showed a sad look.
"Su Xiaobei..." Hearing him say that, I suddenly felt ashamed. "I'm sorry, I took advantage of your kindness to me before, I..." I choked up halfway through my words.
"It's nothing. I'm a grown man. You don't have to care about my feelings. Haha." He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing his white teeth. His smile was still so warm and beautiful.
"Thank you, Su Xiaobei." I bit my lower lip. Hearing him say that, I felt so sad that I almost cried.
After a round of apologies and greetings, I saw Su Xiaobei off. His back disappeared in the warm sunshine of the upcoming autumn. Just like Ju Chenxi's back, he was gentle and charming. It's a pity that Ju Chenxi had already moved into my heart and taken deep roots. From then on, there was no room for a second person in my heart.
Su Xiaobei, thank you for appearing in my life and giving me warmth when I was sad.
