Chapter 9: For you, even if it means death 1
"How long are you two going to hold each other? Is this the end of the world? Hurry up and take this guy to get treated. My powder can only stop the bleeding from his wound temporarily, but it can't heal his wound. If you delay any longer, his body will be ruined."
Just as I was quietly nestling in Wen Jinliang's warm embrace, Xiaowu's impatient voice rang in my ears.
When I heard Xiaowu's words, I immediately came to my senses, left Wen Jinliang's arms, and felt my cheeks burning.
I actually made such ambiguous gestures with Wen Jinliang in front of Xiaowu and the others.
Seeing my shy look, Wen Jinliang chuckled without saying anything. He took a few steps forward and carefully lifted the crane up from the ground. Xiaowu also stood up. She patted the powder in her hand and said, "Okay, there's nothing for me to do here. I'm leaving."
"Where are you going?" I asked immediately when I heard Xiaowu was leaving.
"I will continue to look for Xingguang. He must be somewhere in this city now. I will definitely catch him this time." Xiaowu said as he clenched his fists tightly, as if he would not give up until he found Xingguang.
I looked at Xiaowu helplessly and asked, "Xiaowu, why are you so persistent in looking for Xingguang? Do you really want to fight with him? But Xingguang hates using force the most. No matter what method you use, he will not confront you head-on." I really hope that my words can make her give up looking for Xingguang.
Xiao Wu was silent for a while after hearing what I said. Just when I thought she would not answer me, she smiled and said to me: "Xiao Qi, this is not the main reason why I chased him. Although I really want to have a good fight with him."
"Then what is your main purpose in chasing him?" I asked Xiaowu blankly.
"I can't tell you now, because there are some things I'm still confirming. But don't worry, I will tell you one day." Xiao Wu reached out and patted my shoulder with a serious expression.
I knew that even if I continued to ask, I would never get anything out of him, so I decided to wait for Xiaowu to confess to me later, although I was really curious about Xiaowu's real purpose in chasing after Xingguang. Was it because of his unknown identity? Xiaowu had always been very curious.
"I understand. I'll wait for the day when you tell me everything in person." After thinking for a moment, I smiled and nodded to Xiaowu.
"Then I'm leaving." Xiao Wu waved at me, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly seemed to remember something and looked back at Wen Jinliang, "The information you gave me last time was not complete on my identity and background. Please prepare a new one for me. If you dare to fool me again, I will take Xiao Qi away and you will never see her again. I mean what I say."
The smile on Wen Jinliang's face froze for a moment, and he said, "I know that the new information will satisfy you."
Xiao Wu left with satisfaction after hearing Wen Jinliang's answer. She ran very fast and we soon lost sight of her.
"Is that information..." Before I could ask my question, Wen Jinliang immediately coughed at me and glanced at He beside him.
Wen Jinliang gave him the detailed information about He, because Xiaowu had always been curious about He. Wen Jinliang was really a man of few words. If He knew that he sold him out, it would be no joke. But what did Xiaowu want He's information for? This was the first time she was interested in someone other than Xingguang.
"Whose information does she want?" He noticed the little action between Wen Jinliang and me and smiled slightly, "Mine?"
As soon as I saw He laugh, I started to sweat, and I was even more panicked when I heard his words. He's intuition is really scary, and every time he laughs, someone will get into trouble.
Wen Jin looked at He calmly, "Of course not." After a pause, he continued with a smile, "Why, are you interested in the information Xiao Wu wants? If you want, I can also prepare another copy for you."
He stared at Wen Jinliang, and the smile on his face gradually cooled. He pushed away Wen Jinliang's hand and walked forward without looking back: "No need."
Wen Jinliang shouted from behind He: "Don't forget to go find a doctor for treatment first. Your abdominal injury cannot be delayed. Also, your subordinates are still waiting for you at the door of my previous ward."
He did not answer, he just walked straight ahead. However, his route was exactly in the direction of the outpatient building, the main building of the hospital.
It seems that he still listens to Wen Jinliang. But then again, although this is not the first time I have seen He injured, he always treats his wounds casually and rarely takes the initiative to seek treatment from a doctor.
"Wen Jinliang, does He hate coming to the hospital?" When I thought of this, I couldn't help but ask Wen Jinliang beside me.
"Why are you asking this suddenly? Did you feel something?" Wen Jinliang looked at me and asked, as if he had noticed something too.
"He's mood was obviously different when he was in the hospital just now. He seemed unable to control his temper as easily as usual, so he was easily irritated by Xiao Wu." I paused and pointed to the place in front of me and continued to say to Wen Jinliang, "But just now here, his mood was obviously calmed down. Even though Xiao Wu kept nagging him, he didn't react with any anger. On the contrary, facing the chattering Xiao Wu, he..."
"On the contrary what?" Wen Jinliang asked when he saw that I hadn't continued speaking for a long time, and signaled me with his eyes to continue.
"I feel relieved." I looked at Wen Jinliang with a puzzled expression. He's attitude towards Xiaowu changed too quickly, and I found it hard to understand.
When Wen Jinliang heard what I said, he suddenly laughed: "This guy He..." He just laughed but didn't finish.
"What are you laughing at?" I couldn't help poking Wen Jinliang's cheek and asked him when I saw him laugh without warning. It felt like he knew something, but I didn't understand it at all, which was really annoying.
"Nothing, I just think it's really interesting that He has such a day." Wen Jinliang laughed so hard that his shoulders shook, and he couldn't stop.
"Why don't I understand what you are saying at all?" Listening to Wen Jinliang's words, my mind was full of confusion.
"Xiao Qi, don't worry, you will understand soon." Wen Jinliang finally stopped, took my hand, and said with a gentle smile, "Let's go, let's go back. You have to make up the homework you owed for half a month, because you have a quiz next week."
"Hey! Didn't Xiaowu help me? Didn't she go to class for me?" I looked at Wen Jinliang in shock. At that time, Xiaowu replaced me as Wen Jinliang's bodyguard. Not only did she have to protect Wen Jinliang for me, but she also had to go to class for me. I specifically reminded her because it was difficult to get leave at the college. Anyway, she and I look alike, and teachers and classmates can't tell who is who without looking carefully.
"She did take your fifth grade class, but she slept in every class, and sometimes she just didn't come, so she couldn't do your homework for you." Wen Jinliang smiled bitterly and said with a headache, "She even had conflicts with the teacher several times. If I hadn't stopped her..."
“I knew it…” I can totally imagine that scene.
Xiaowu didn't like reading before, and she hated being confined in one place without freedom. Thinking about it this way, I seem to have made things difficult for Xiaowu. She must have endured a lot in order not to cause trouble for me, otherwise if she really got angry, there was no way Wen Jinliang could stop her.
"Xiao Qi, don't worry about not being able to do your homework. I have taken notes on the content of the class. I can teach you anything you don't understand." Wen Jinliang saw that I was in deep thought and thought that I was worried about my homework, so he said to me with a smile.
"Well, let's go back now. I also need to finish my homework quickly." I held Wen Jinliang's hand tightly and felt much more at ease.
"Well, let's go. I'll accompany you to finish your homework."
After becoming a lover with Wen Jinliang, my days on campus seemed no different from usual. And I thought it was fine, there was no need for any changes between us. But one day when we were studying in the classroom, the girls who were chasing him crazily came over and pushed a beautiful girl in front of him, and the person being pushed seemed to be ready to confess.
The girl was petite and cute, very lovable. She blushed as she looked at Wen Jinliang, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible: "Classmate Wen, I, I like you."
I watched the girl shyly confess to Wen Jinliang with a blank expression, and there was no emotion in my heart. Because such scenes were played out almost every day in my campus life with Wen Jinliang, I was used to it. So even if I became his girlfriend, I would not be moved at all, let alone jealous. Because I knew Wen Jinliang would not like them.
"Thank you for your love, but I cannot accept your confession." Hearing Wen Jinliang's answer, I turned my gaze back to the book in my hand.
Sure enough, the answer was the same as always.
"Why?"
However, every girl who has been rejected is unwilling to accept such an answer, so they will always ask this question, coupled with a pitiful look, which makes people feel full of guilt.
As usual, Wen Jinliang would definitely say, "Because you are not the one I'm waiting for," and then send the girl away, ending this confession.
"Because I already got the person I've been waiting for." Wen Jinliang looked at the girl in front of him with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Hey? You mean... you already have someone you like?" The girl understood what Wen Jinliang said and her face turned pale. The girls behind her suddenly exploded, and everyone was desperately guessing who that girl was.
"Who is she? Do we know each other? Are you dating her already?"
A girl rushed up to Wen Jinliang and asked questions like a machine gun. Her crazy look made people feel scared just by looking at her.
Wen Jinliang smiled and replied, "Yes, I'm officially dating her. And you know this girl." As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled me from my seat to sit on his lap in front of the girls, and then replied with a smile, "My girlfriend is Xiao Qi. Please don't confess to me or give me gifts anymore in the future, Xiao Qi will be jealous."
"I don't like to be jealous." I said slowly, not noticing how ambiguous the postures between Wen Jinliang and I were at the moment, and how explosive such ambiguity would be in the eyes of the girls in front of me.
"How could it be Xiao Qi? I don't believe it!"
"I knew it was Xiao Qi. My intuition turned out to be right."
"Oh my God, I don't want to accept this cruel reality!"
"Ahhh, God! Please let the world be destroyed prematurely!"
The girl who confessed ran out crying, and the rest of the girls ran out of the classroom screaming like crazy. They told each other the story as if the end of the world was coming.
"Xiao Qi, someone confessed to me, are you really not jealous at all?" Wen Jinliang suddenly asked me when he saw me silently watching the girls leave.
"I'm not jealous." I said subconsciously, and suddenly realized Wen Jinliang's true intention, and replied with a chuckle, "I'm not jealous because I know you only have me in your heart, so no matter how many girls say 'I like you' to you, you won't agree. Who told you to only like me?"
After hearing my answer, Wen Jinliang's smile became even gentler. He hugged me gently, buried his head in my neck and whispered, "Yes, no matter how many people confess to me, I will not agree, because I like Xiao Qi, and there is only Xiao Qi in my heart. So no one can take me away from you."
"Tsk tsk, so corny." A familiar voice suddenly came to my ears. Wen Jinliang and I turned around and saw Xiaowu, whom I hadn't seen for a week, standing outside the door.
"Xiaowu, you're back?" I exclaimed in surprise, and immediately got off Wen Jinliang's legs and walked to her side.
Xiaowu's face was a little pale, and she looked very depressed. But her eyes were bright and her face was filled with a bright smile. I knew that this was a sign that she was in a good mood.
"Well, I'm back." Xiao Wu said as she walked towards Wen Jinliang. She walked a little unsteadily, as if she was injured.
Xiao Wu stopped beside Wen Jinliang and said, "Wen Jinliang, please find a quiet place for me to rest right now where I won't be disturbed."
Wen Jinliang noticed that Xiaowu was not in good health. Without asking any questions, he immediately stood up and said, "I understand. I'll arrange it for you right away. Please wait a moment." After that, he took out his mobile phone and walked out of the classroom.
I immediately walked over to Xiaowu, stroked her pale cheek worriedly, and asked , "Xiaowu, are you injured? Is it serious? I'll take you to see a doctor."
"Don't be nervous, I'm fine." Xiao Wu yawned, seeming a little sleepy, "It's just that some of my body functions have been slightly damaged, I just need to get some sleep."
Impaired physical function? This is no small matter!
My expression suddenly became serious. Xiaowu and I are not normal humans at all. What keeps our bodies moving is a material function in our bodies. If the function is damaged, if it is minor, it can be quickly restored with proper rest; if the damage is slightly serious, the body will begin to become dull, and consciousness will gradually disappear, and we must enter a long sleep state to recover. However, if the damage is serious, it will directly damage the heart, leading to our direct death.
Xiao Wu noticed my nervousness and anxiety, and before I could ask, she immediately said, "Don't make that expression, I'm really fine, just a slight injury, I'll be fine after a few days of sleep."
Hearing Xiaowu say this, no matter how worried I was, I could only reply, "I see. Have a good rest then. When you have a good sleep, you must tell me what happened."
Xiao Wu's voice became lighter: "I'll tell you."
Wen Jinliang came back with his phone. From the look on his face, it was clear that he had made all the arrangements. He walked over to Xiaowu and said, "Xiaowu, I've found a place for you. It's in a secret room under He Villa. Only He and I know the exact location. The room is very safe and quiet, and it definitely meets your requirements."
"Really? That's good." Xiao Wu yawned again, and his voice was filled with sleepiness that could not be concealed.
I knew she was about to collapse, so I immediately said to Wen Jinliang, "Although we still have classes to go on, Xiaowu's situation is more urgent. Wen Jinliang, can we take Xiaowu to rest first?"
Wen Jinliang saw a rare serious expression on my face, and nodded and said, "Okay, let's go there now." Then we skipped class together.
I was already very familiar with He's small villa, and I remembered the furnishings of every room. When Wen Jinliang took Xiaowu and me into the secret underground passage, I still found it unbelievable.
I didn’t expect that there would be an underground passage hidden under such a building!
I held onto Xiaowu and followed Wen Jinliang around in the underground passage. The path here was designed like a small maze, which could easily make people dizzy. I followed Wen Jinliang and walked quickly, secretly noting down the path I had taken.
After a while, Wen Jinliang took us to the door of the room. The door was made of pure black iron plate. Wen Jinliang took out the black card from his pocket and swiped it, and the door opened.
This door seems to be the same as the electric door at the Wen family's main gate...
The room in front of me was large and very clean. However, there was nothing inside the room. There was only a bed and a table in the middle, and a small toilet on the left.
Xiaowu took a look, let go of my hand and ran straight to the clean bed. She took off her shoes and lay on the bed, not moving.
Wen Jinliang was stunned when he saw Xiaowu's actions, and asked in surprise: "Is she going to sleep?"
I was afraid that Wen Jinliang would get suspicious, so I hurriedly said, "Every time she gets hurt, she falls into a deep sleep, so she needs a quiet place to sleep. Let's stop arguing and leave first."
When Wen Jinliang heard what I said, he didn't think much about it and left the room with me. He even closed the door before leaving.
Wen Jinliang told me that there is a special opening button inside the door. If Xiaowu wants to come out after sleeping enough, he can open the door at any time. From the outside, it can only be opened with a black card, so it is safe for Xiaowu to rest inside.
In order to prevent Wen Jinliang from discovering that Xiaowu was in hibernation, I asked him to give me the food every day, and then I would deliver it myself. I also suggested that he or anyone else should not disturb Xiaowu.
Wen Jinliang didn't ask me why, but did everything I asked. I felt comforted by his trust in me.
