Chapter 3 “Forced” Cooperation 1. Lifesaver
Under Mai Xiaoshu's command, Qiao Na dragged An Chengye and the foreigner in the co-pilot seat out of the cabin and put them on the shore.
Mai Xiaoshu pushed An Chengye hard, but when she saw that he didn't respond, she panicked. His body was burning hot, and he was a little unconscious. His wet short hair covered his closed eyes, and he looked very weak. She quickly called 120 for emergency help.
In the hospital a few days later.
A humanoid object wrapped like a mummy was lying quietly on the hospital bed. Suddenly, the "mummy" opened its eyes.
Seeing the person on the bed wake up, a tall man with a sad face quickly threw himself on An Chengye and cried loudly: "Boss, I'm glad you're not dead!"
"Well...Jian Jun, get up!" This guy didn't know how to control his severity and pressed down on An Chengye's wound. It hurt so much that tears almost came out of his eyes and he almost fainted again. "Damn it! Did you hear me? Get up!"
Hearing his cry of pain, Jian Jun stood up quickly and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was so happy that I didn't pay attention... I'll go call a doctor now."
After saying that, he rushed out instantly.
When the figure reappeared, it was followed by several doctors in white coats.
"Mr. An, can you hear me?"
"Yeah." An Chengye didn't have the energy to speak loudly, so he snorted in response, "How long have I been lying in the hospital? Bruce...are you okay?"
"You've been in a coma for a day and a night. It's such a blessing that you finally woke up. Don't worry, your companion was not seriously injured and has woken up long ago." The doctor's words made An Chengye breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, An Chengye thought of the beautiful figure before he fainted. He couldn't figure out whether it was a dream or reality, but he still subconsciously asked, "Where is the person who saved me?"
When everyone heard his words, they moved away obediently, leaving a path leading to the bed.
An Chengye raised his head and noticed a girl walking towards him from afar. A smile appeared on her tranquil face, and she walked towards him like an angel with a halo.
But this "angel" looks a little familiar.
When the "angel" approached, An Chengye took a closer look and said in surprise: "Mai Xiaoshu?!"
Ten minutes later, the only people left in the ward were An Chengye, who had taken off his white gauze and changed into a hospital gown, and Mai Xiaoshu, who was standing there in a daze. Everyone else had been driven out by An Chengye.
Mai Xiaoshu, who was standing aside, felt the strange look An Chengye was giving her and felt embarrassed and helpless. Then she thought, I am your lifesaver, why are you treating me like a criminal now? Thinking of this, she decided to relax a little, so she turned around and pulled a chair to sit down.
An Chengye's mind was in a mess at this time. The moment he saw Mai Xiaoshu, the strange scenes in his dream instantly disappeared and his mind became much clearer.
As his memory returned, he vaguely remembered that when he fell into the water, he saw a girl riding an elephant into the lake and saving him.
Could it be that this memory was not a dream? No, when did the elephants in the zoo become so smart that they could listen to people's instructions and save people?
"Thank you for saving me." Countless thoughts flashed through his mind at this moment, and An Chengye said to Mai Xiaoshu seriously.
Mai Xiaoshu looked up at the boy who made the spring-like voice. She recalled the several times they had fought. He was either impatient or yelled at her fiercely. It turned out that his voice could be so gentle and moving...
"Well... well, you're welcome. It's just a small favor."
Mai Xiaoshu's surprised expression made him a little embarrassed. He was not good at expressing his true feelings. Under the orange light, he paused for a moment before asking softly, "Do you have a wish? I can help you realize it as a way to repay you for saving my life."
These few words made Mai Xiaoshu feel a little surprised.
She hadn't thought about asking him to repay her, and just when she was about to refuse, she suddenly saw a missed call from Song Feifei on her phone screen. Thinking of the failed interview last time, she looked at An Chengye, a little hesitant.
"Tell me, as long as I can do it, I can satisfy you as long as it is within my ability." An Chengye saw her hesitation and said confidently.
If Song Feifei could fulfill her wish and interview him, she wouldn't have to be so sad every day!
"Please accept my interview! I promise you that this time I will hand over the outline to Jian Jun for review first, and there will be no more inappropriate questions!" Mai Xiaoshu looked at An Chengye with expectation, but saw an expression of disbelief on his face.
"That's all?" He thought she would ask for a car, a house or cash, but it was just an interview. "Such a trivial wish, of course." He didn't expect the girl in front of him to be so simple. He tried again, "Are you sure this is your most desired wish? Aren't you very short of money ?"
"How do you know I'm short of money?" Mai Xiaoshu scratched his head in confusion.
"Didn't you say last time that you had no money to pay the rent?" An Chengye said as a matter of course.
Mai Xiaoshu didn't expect that he actually listened to what she said casually. She was a little touched.
"I'm really short of money..." Mai Xiaoshu nodded, then looked at him seriously and said, "But...interviewing you is my biggest wish."
"Idiot." An Chengye blurted out, but his impression of Mai Xiaoshu changed a little. She didn't seem to be the kind of person who would do anything to achieve her goals as he thought. He paused and added, "Forget it, I'll give you one more chance. Go back and think carefully about what else you want besides the interview, and then reply to me. Also, don't tell anyone about the last time you tricked me into breaking into someone's house!"
"I didn't lie to you, the police have already..." Mai Xiaoshu wanted to explain.
An Chengye had already turned over and lay down, waving his hand tiredly at her: "Okay, I'm tired, you go!"
After saying that, he really ignored her and Mai Xiaoshu had to leave.
Hearing the sound of the door closing again , An Chengye couldn't help but complain: Poor people are like this, they dare not ask for things when they should, and they never fight for them. Do they think that the rich people's money falls from the sky?
For some reason, she reminded him of that person, the person who was deeply buried in his memory and whom he didn't want to mention casually.
"Really? Can't you let people finish their words?" Mai Xiaoshu muttered as she walked out of the ward. She bumped into a tall and thin figure, accompanied by a refreshing bergamot scent. She was stunned for a moment, raised her chin, and saw a boy with meticulously combed hair, dressed a bit like a British gentleman, and extremely dazzling.
"It's you..." Mai Xiaoshu recognized him, the examiner who sat in the middle when applying for the scholarship. He was afraid that he would not remember her, so he stopped what he was about to say and changed his mouth to "I'm sorry."
Seeing the beautiful face that was slightly flushed against his chest , Jiang Xingye smiled kindly: "Are you Mai Xiaoshu?"
"You remember me!" Mai Xiaoshu straightened up, surprised at the boy's amazing memory. Jiang Xingye didn't care, and asked back: "Of course, I remember your performance at that time. Why are you here? Come to see An Chengye?"
"um, yes."
"Do you know each other?"
"Well..." Seeing Jiang Xingye's puzzled face, she didn't know how to describe her relationship with An Chengye. Friends? Interview subject? Lifesaver? No matter which one, it didn't seem appropriate. Fortunately, Jiang Xingye saw her hesitation and didn't ask any more questions. After saying goodbye to her, he walked straight into the ward.
"It seems like they are friends. Excellent people always come in the same group."
But on the way home, Mai Xiaoshu couldn't help feeling a little regretful when he thought of what had just happened. He hadn't waited for the notification of winning the scholarship. He had clearly seen Jiang Xingye just now but forgot to ask. How stupid.
