Chapter 93:

Grandma’s operation was over but she was still not out of danger and was transferred to the intensive care unit.

When Li Wenyu entered the ward, Pei Xin was still sleeping.

All the blood on his face had been cleaned away, and he was as pale as a piece of paper that could be torn when poked. Instead, there were several long and thin scars, and there were bandages wrapped in many places on his body.

Li Wenyu stood at the door, inexplicably remembering the time in the Huayi Road apartment. The bandage he put on Pei Xin seemed to be too tight, probably so tight that it would affect his breathing.

It started raining outside at some point. No sound could be heard in the ward, but there were stains of water in front of the glass windows. Li Wenyu quietly pulled the curtains tightly. The smell of disinfectant in the ward was too strong. There was a bouquet of flowers beside the bed, mixed with blue and green, with water droplets on the flowers and leaves. When he sat down, he smelled a very fragrant aroma.

The mechanical watch taken off Pei Xin's wrist was placed next to the vase. The strap had been halfway separated from the dial and the edges were broken. The originally cheap and old watch looked completely worthless.

Because he couldn't see the sky after closing the curtains, Li Wenyu didn't know how long he had been sitting there, but he was still in a daze when he saw Pei Xin wake up.

Li Wenyu looked at his slowly opening eyes and originally wanted to ask him, why did he go to such a remote place alone? Why don't you tell me? Who hurt you? Ji He? Or someone else?

But his lips moved for a moment, and then he looked confused again. The answers to these questions seemed obvious. If it weren't for him, Pei Xin would have no reason to go to such a deserted and dilapidated suburb alone. His identity has never been remotely related to that kind of place.

He blinked slowly and his voice was a little harsh: "Are you awake? How do you feel? Does it still hurt? The doctor said it will hurt after the anesthesia wears off."

After Pei Xin woke up, he didn't seem too surprised by everything around him . , her unclear eyes were covered with a layer of light, and she looked sideways at him for a while before saying, "It's fine. It doesn't hurt. Are you always here?"

"I..." Li Wenyu thought for a moment subconsciously. But he couldn't remember how long he had been here, so he had to say, "I just got here."

Pei Xin raised the corner of his lower lip and said in a relaxed tone: "Where am I injured?"

Li Wenyu had no choice but to say He carefully repeated what the doctor had just said to him: "The forearm and fingers of his left hand were fractured, the back of the head was hit hard and he lost a lot of blood, and there were multiple contusions on the face and abdomen. The operation went well, but the follow-up situation will require hospitalization for observation."

He thought for a while and added He said: "If you want to transfer to another hospital, you have to wait until your condition becomes more stable, which is not possible now."

Pei Xin smiled, raised his eyebrows and said, "Remember in such detail."

Li Wenyu poured a glass of water and looked at His bandaged hand asked: "...can you move? Are you thirsty?"

Pei Xin did not answer, lying flat on his back. He seemed to rarely look at Li Wenyu from this angle in the past.

When the eyes are slightly drooped, the eyelashes are longer than usual, the upward arc at the ends of the eyes is narrowed, the fox eyes become somewhat rounded, a thin layer of skin wraps the gentle edges, and the lips are pursed slightly nervously.

Pei Xin looked at the person in front of him silently, and suddenly felt that he didn't look like Li Wenyu.

Li Wenyu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. He wanted to help him up to drink water, but he saw Pei Xin's originally peaceful brows suddenly twisting and his lip lines slowly tightening.

He felt something was wrong, so he wanted to stand up and ring the call bell, but Pei Xin stopped him with a cold face: "Don't move! Don't come over."

Li Wenyu didn't rest all night, and his energy was not very good to begin with, and his heart was almost hanging. , he didn't move anymore, just asked: "What's wrong with you? Where can't you..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door. It was the nurse who came to change the dressing.

Li Wenyu didn't move immediately. He didn't get up until he saw that Pei Xin didn't seem to be abnormal. As soon as he opened the door, his phone suddenly vibrated. He glanced at it and remembered that he hadn't asked for leave from the company yet.

The nurse pushed the cart in. Li Wenyu pursed his lips and glanced at Pei Xin hastily before exiting the ward.

He came to a quiet part of the corridor and answered the phone.

Li Wenyu first apologized to the leader, and then explained that the elder in the family suddenly had a health problem and did not have time to ask for leave. Fortunately, the leader expressed his understanding. His previous colleague in this position has not left the job yet, so he can be given a leave of absence.

Li Wenyu recalled that Li Teng and Ji Cheng had just gone to the police station early in the morning to cooperate with the investigation. It had been several hours now, and they still didn't know what the situation was.

After thinking for a moment, he dialed Li Teng's phone number.

The ringing rang for a long time, and when it was almost about to hang up automatically, Li Teng's erratic voice came from the other end: "Xiao Yu, what's wrong?"

Li Wenyu could hear the tiredness and weakness that could not be concealed, and leaned against his back. The voice on the edge of the wall slowly became softer: "Auntie, how are you over there? Is it over?"

"Not yet," Li Teng was still at the police station, and it was not quiet around her. She sighed, unable to control herself. Helplessly asked, "Xiao Yu, do you know what happened to Ji He?"

Li Teng has always been a strong and serious woman who speaks her truth. She almost never shows weakness in front of others. This is the first time Li Wenyu heard Li Teng act like this. His tone stunned him for a moment.

Li Teng said intermittently in a muffled voice: "The police checked the surveillance video and said that one of the people was Xiao He... But you also know that although Xiao He usually idles around, he can't do such a thing! How dare he..."

Li Wenyu felt as if there was a ball of cotton stuck in his heart. The window in the corridor was not closed, and cold wind poured in from the window. He choked and coughed twice before comforting him and said: "It's okay, aunt, wait for the police. Let's investigate clearly... Ji He has never left home since he was a child, and he will come back sooner or later."

"..."

This hospital is located in a remote location, backed by a green pine forest. The wind blows through the green waves and the rain falls on the ground. It's midsummer. The season seems to have the flavor of deep winter.

Li Wenyu's clothes were blown away, and he slowly withdrew his gaze and walked towards the ward.

But before he could reach the door, he suddenly heard a harsh sound of glass breaking, and fragments flew out from the open door, hitting Li Wenyu's feet sharply.

Pei Xin's voice was abnormally hoarse, and he did not suppress his anger: "Get out! Can't you hear me tell you to get out?"

Li Wenyu stepped forward two steps across the glass and saw several young nurses in the ward being beaten. She was too frightened to move and was about to walk out when the bouquet of flowers originally placed beside the bed was thrown to the ground. The flowers and leaves were smashed to pieces, and the vase and glass water glass were broken into pieces.

Pei Xin's entire face was bloodless, the veins on his neck were bulging, but his eyes were dark, and his expression was so ferocious and without warmth that it made people panic.

Li Wenyu froze on the spot: "Pei Xin, what's wrong with you?"

Pei Xin heard the voice and turned to meet his gaze from a distance. His originally angry expression suddenly went blank: "...are you here?"

Li Wenyu Not understanding what he meant, he walked towards him step by step in confusion: "Of course I am here, I have been here since just now."

Pei Xin's eyes flickered and he stared at his face closely, as if he wanted to find out what he meant. As if there was some flaw, he didn't say anything for a while.

The air was stagnant for a moment, and then the nurse who had been frightened pointed at Pei Xin's bleeding arm and said, "The patient's wound is open and needs to be re-bandaged immediately."
