Chapter 8: I have nowhere to go except by your side 2
I immediately sat behind Xiaowu and hugged her tightly, praying in my heart that Wen Jinliang would be safe.
Xiaowu and I almost rushed all the way to the hospital where Wen Jinliang was. After we got off the car, we hurried up to the ward on the fifth floor. Standing at the door of the room were He, who I hadn't seen for a long time, and a few familiar bodyguards, who were among the ten people.
As soon as He saw me, he stopped me immediately. His expression was a little angry, and he asked, "Why weren't you by Jinliang's side when the accident happened? What's wrong with you?"
He's sudden accusation made my heart suddenly ache, and a feeling of suffocation spread from the bottom of my heart.
If I was with Wen Jinliang, how could he be in the hospital now! He got hurt because of me, because I neglected my duty!
"Get out of my way. What does it have to do with you whether Xiaoqi is with him or not?" Xiaowu impatiently pushed away He who was blocking my way, and she pushed me into the ward. "Ignore this guy. Go see Wen Jinliang quickly. I'll guard the door for you so that they won't disturb you from seeing him." After saying that, she slammed the door of the ward shut.
I slowly came to Wen Jinliang's bed. He was lying on the bed, sleeping with his eyes closed. His delicate eyebrows seemed to still have the gentle smile of the past. I squatted down beside his bed and rested my head on his chest. His weak heartbeat slowly came to my ears, so weak that it seemed that it would stop beating in the next second.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” I looked at Wen Jinliang in front of me with tears in my eyes. The pain in my heart expanded in circles, and finally made me cry to him in agony, “If I hadn’t run away and stayed with you all the time, you wouldn’t have gotten into trouble. It’s all my fault… I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
Wen Jinliang didn't respond to my words. He continued to sleep quietly with his eyes closed, as if he would never wake up again.
"Wen Jinliang, will you never wake up again?" I tightly grasped the quilt in front of Wen Jinliang's chest, shaking uncontrollably, "I finally... finally made up my mind to face you... I knew clearly that I liked you... I knew clearly how strong my love for you was... but now you no longer know how much I like you..."
"Wen Jinliang, I like you. I like you very much, very much." I reached out my trembling hand to wipe away the tears on my face, and looked at Wen Jinliang on the bed with a smile, trying to make myself appear happier when confessing.
"If I hadn't run away at that time, I could have heard you say that you liked me. But now it is impossible for you to say that you like me..." I reached out and stroked Wen Jinliang's still warm face, feeling extremely regretful.
"Xiao Qi, I like you too, I like you very much."
Just as I was staring at Wen Jinliang in fascination, his tightly closed lips opened slightly and he uttered an extremely beautiful confession.
I was completely stunned, staring blankly at Wen Jinliang sitting up on the bed. He gave me his most familiar gentle smile: "Xiao Qi, welcome back. You won't run away from me this time, right?"
"This, this... what's going on?" I stood up and asked, tremblingly, pointing at Wen Jinliang in front of me.
"I……"
"You lied to me!" I realized that Wen Jinliang was actually fine. The pain and anxiety in my heart burst out all of a sudden, and I screamed at him almost hysterically. I had never lost control so much before, and the tears that had stopped in my eyes flowed again, "Do you know how worried I am about you? How could you lie to me about something like this? Do you know how scared I was when I found out that you were in trouble? Wen Jinliang, you bastard! I hate you, I hate you!"
Seeing that I was trying to leave without control, Wen Jinliang immediately pulled my arm and held me in his arms. He held my head soothingly and let me bury it in his warm chest.
Wen Jinliang didn't explain anything right away, he just held me in his arms, hugging me tightly, as if that would calm me down. But his warm hug really calmed my excitement down a little bit.
"Xiao Qi, I'm sorry for tricking you back in this way. But I'm really scared, scared that you'll never come back to me." Wen Jinliang let me go, whispering, and kissed my cold forehead, "Although it was a low-quality lie, I was very happy the moment you really came back. I even feel that if this is not a lie, but I really die, I will have nothing to regret in this life. If you are still very angry that I deceived you, Xiao Qi, you can beat me and scold me, but never leave me again. I really can't live without you. I love you, Xiao Qi."
I stared blankly at Wen Jinliang in front of me. His trembling voice and the rare nervousness and fear in his eyes suddenly made my heart soften.
Wen Jinliang is such a calm and self-controlled person, but at this moment, the Wen Jinliang in front of me has completely abandoned his calmness and self-control. He showed his truest side and expressed all his passion and love for me so naturally.
"Wen Jinliang...silly." I reached out and took the initiative to hug Wen Jinliang, resting my head on his heart and quietly listening to his heartbeat. My heart finally settled down. "I'm sorry, I will never leave your side without permission again. I am your exclusive bodyguard. As long as you don't drive me away, I will always be by your side."
"You're such a good bodyguard, how could I bear to drive you away? You will always be by my side, and we will have many, many children." Wen Jinliang said with a smile and hugged me tightly.
When I heard Wen Jinliang's words, my face suddenly turned red and I immediately pushed him away: "Who wants to have many children with you? Aren't you ashamed?"
"You are my girlfriend now, and you will be my wife in the future. What's there to be ashamed of for a wife to give birth to a child for her husband?" Wen Jinliang looked at me mischievously.
"Wait a minute! I didn't say I wanted to be your girlfriend." I was so nervous that my tongue was tied and I immediately took several steps back.
Becoming a boyfriend and girlfriend with Wen Jinliang, doesn't that mean doing a lot of embarrassing things? This is absolutely not allowed!
"You've already said that you like me, and now you still want to resist and not be my girlfriend. Do you think it's possible?" Wen Jinliang pushed me against the corner of the wall. He looked down at me and spoke softly, the smile in his eyes spreading to his lips.
"Or... do you want me to marry another girl and have children?" Wen Jinliang raised his eyebrows slightly.
"How is this possible? You and I have confessed our feelings to each other, how can I let another girl enter your life and take my place?" I raised my head in panic and looked at Wen Jinliang, and immediately felt a warm touch on my lips. I suddenly opened my eyes, and Wen Jinliang's deep blue eyes collided directly into my sight... So beautiful!
Wen Jinliang quickly let me go. He looked at me with a smile and said, "Xiao Qi, remember to close your eyes next time you kiss me."
"You you you--" I felt like my face was burning, and I was so scared by Wen Jinliang's actions that I couldn't speak.
"We have kissed and hugged each other now. If you say again that we are not boyfriend and girlfriend, then I will have to kiss you again." Wen Jinliang took my hand and said to me in an extremely gentle voice.
"You...rascal." I blushed and turned my head away, unwilling to look at him.
After seeing my reaction, Wen Jinliang laughed softly: "Xiao Qi is so cute when she is shy, it's hard to put her down."
"I told you that your master is fine, he was just pretending to be sick. You asked me why I pretended to be sick, why should I tell you? Who do you think you are? I'm so annoyed. If you try to break in again, I won't be polite!"
"I want to see how you can be rude!"
Just when I was so embarrassed by Wen Jinliang's words that I didn't know how to react, I heard Xiaowu and He arguing outside the door, and soon the sound of their argument turned into the sound of a fierce fight.
Wen Jinliang and I looked at each other, said "Oh no" at the same time, and hurriedly opened the door and walked out.
The corridor outside the ward was in chaos. The nurses and doctors who were patrolling outside had all fled, and the ground was littered with medical instruments. The bodyguards were divided into two groups, one holding Xiao Wu and the other holding He. They kept persuading him.
"Sister Xiaowu, this is a hospital! You can't fight here, or the police will invite you to have tea. I tell you, that tea tastes terrible..."
"Boss He, calm down. This is not the place for a fight. If you make a big fuss, it will cause trouble for the young master..."
"Young Master, you are out"
"Xiao Qi, you came out!"
When the bodyguard saw Wen Jinliang and I, he was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
"Xiao Wu, calm down. We are all friends. It will only hurt the relationship if you keep fighting like this." I immediately stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Wu, trying to persuade her, hoping that my words could calm her down.
Wen Jinliang also stepped forward and grabbed He's arm and advised: "He, calm down. Xiaowu is a girl after all. What if you accidentally hurt her?"
Xiao Wu immediately said angrily: "Who wants to be friends with this person!"
Tsuruya replied, "What kind of girl is she? Barbie Kong?"
After Xiaowu and He heard each other's answers, they couldn't suppress the anger on their faces: "If you dare, come with me downstairs to fight?"
"I think so too."
After they finished speaking, they shook off my and Wen Jinliang's hands and jumped out of the windows next to them.
"Boss, this is the fifth floor—"
"Sister Xiaowu, this is the fifth floor!"
The bodyguards shouted and gathered around the window. They looked at each other, and finally turned their gazes to me and Wen Jinliang.
"Young Master, what should we do?" asked Bodyguard A.
"I've never seen the boss so angry!" said bodyguard B.
"Just now I saw that Sister Xiaowu was also very angry. She will definitely not show mercy if she fights with the boss! I'm so worried about the boss!" Bodyguard C said worriedly.
"Are you worried about the boss? Come on, the boss is also very powerful! I have never seen him lose! You should leave your worry to Sister Xiaowu!" Bodyguard D continued.
"What do you know! Sister Xiaowu's strength is not inferior to the eldest brother, and she is no joke when she gets angry!" Bodyguard E retorted.
Seeing that bodyguard CDE was about to quarrel, Wen Jinliang hurriedly stopped them and said, "Stop quarreling, I have something to ask you. Xiaowu has a bad temper, but He is not such an uncalm person. Why did they quarrel to this extent?"
Bodyguard F, who had been silent the whole time, replied, "We learned that you were injured, so we rushed over immediately. When Boss He was about to go in to see you, Xiao Qi and Sister Xiao Wu arrived. Boss He grabbed Xiao Qi and questioned him, but before Xiao Qi could answer, Sister Xiao Wu pushed him into the ward. Boss He was worried about you and wanted to go in to see you, but Sister Xiao Wu refused to let him in. Boss He was already angry because Xiao Qi neglected his duty and caused you to be injured. When Sister Xiao Wu stopped him, his tone was not very polite. Sister Xiao Wu had a bad temper, so she immediately started arguing with Boss He, and her words were not very nice. Boss He was already angry, and after being provoked by Sister Xiao Wu, the two of them soon started fighting."
After listening to F's explanation, I felt cold sweat pouring out of my head. It seemed that the two of them were fighting so hard because of me and Wen Jinliang. As the culprit, I felt my legs go weak.
Xiaowu is fine, but He’s temper is not something that ordinary people can handle.
Wen Jinliang obviously realized this, he glanced at me and said, "I'll go explain this to He now."
"I'll go with you! You can stop He, but you can't stop Xiaowu." I said hurriedly.
Wen Jinliang and I finished talking and went downstairs to look for them in the hospital. Soon, we found Xiaowu and He in the square behind the hospital. Surprisingly, they were not fighting.
He half-crouched on the sand, one hand covering his abdomen, pursed his lips and said nothing. Xiao Wu squatted beside him and was applying something on his abdomen, his expression was not very good, and he kept saying something.
"He!" Wen Jinliang and I both noticed that He was bleeding from his abdomen, so we both shouted his name nervously.
We hurried to He's side and found Xiao Wu applying medicine to him with a bottle of powder, muttering, "I say, is there something wrong with your brain? You dare to fight me even though you are injured like this? Do you want me to win unfairly? I tell you, I, Xiao Wu, hate to win dishonorably."
Hearing Xiaowu say this, Wen Jinliang and I both breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the injury in He's abdomen was not caused by Xiaowu, but should have been caused by him during his previous mission.
"He, I'm sorry for making you worry. Actually, I'm fine. I was just pretending to be injured. I'll tell you the details later. Anyway, don't be angry with Xiaowu anymore. It's not her fault. I asked her to guard the door and not let anyone prevent me and Xiaoqi from reuniting." Wen Jinliang looked at He apologetically.
He glanced at Wen Jinliang coldly without saying anything. Although he didn't look as angry as before, his anger had not completely subsided.
I shouted to Xiao Wu in surprise, "So you knew Wen Jinliang was fine, but you actually lied to me with him! This is too much!"
"If you really want to be angry, just be angry at Wen Jinliang. He is the culprit anyway, and I'm just carrying out a mission." Xiao Wu said without raising his head, without any sense of guilt.
"Xiao Wu is right. If you want to be angry, be angry at me. It's all my fault." Wen Jinliang held my hand and looked at me with an apologetic expression again.
Seeing Wen Jinliang say that, I felt too embarrassed to blame Xiaowu any more. Besides, I was just yelling at him, I wasn't really angry. No matter what, I was able to make up my mind to return to Wen Jinliang so quickly, thanks to Xiaowu.
"I'm not angry. In fact, I have Xiaowu to thank for many things. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be where we are now." I smiled at Wen Jinliang and said softly, "In fact, even if you don't pretend to be hurt, I will come back to you soon. Because I have made up my mind to face you calmly, and I will never run away from you again."
When Wen Jinliang heard what I said, his eyes lit up instantly, like a sky full of stars, dazzling and brilliant. He gently hugged me in his arms and whispered, "Even if you want to escape from me this time, I won't give you the chance."
I didn't say anything. This time, even if Wen Jinliang wanted me to escape, I couldn't do it, because I had betrayed my master and had nowhere else to go. Apart from Wen Jinliang, I didn't know where else I could go.
