"Thank you." Xuan Ruoxi thanked her sincerely, and Huo Jiyun accepted it happily.
"Have you eaten enough? Let's take a walk." They left the hospital cafeteria and walked side by side in the hospital's green leisure area.
"You don't have to worry too much, let everything take its course." Life and death are fateful, and for the torment of illness, sometimes relief is not a kind of happiness.
"Xiao Ming's condition is already very bad. I don't know what else to do. I just want him to suffer less pain."
To die without medical treatment is both the fate and the outcome.
"Thank you for your hard work." Huo Jiyun held her hand distressedly. This time, Xuan Ruoxi did not refuse, but stopped and mustered up the courage to look up at him. His height made her have to look up.
Huo Jiyun bowed slightly to facilitate her gaze, their eyes met, and wordless affection settled in each other's eyes. Huo Jiyun saw himself in her eyes, and Xuan Ruoxi saw tenderness in his.
"Excuse me - is this Mr. Huo?" A female voice suddenly came from beside them.
Xuan Ruoxi immediately retracted her gaze and put her hands behind her back. Huo Jiyun turned his head with some displeasure and looked at the source of the voice. It was a young girl. She frowned slightly and looked familiar. She seemed to be the daughter of the Gu family.
"It's really you, Mr. Huo, I thought I was wrong? I am Gu Xiyan, do you remember?" Gu Xiyan, a beautiful and temperamental girl. Xuan Ruoxi remembered her, last time
Also in the hospital.
"Hello, Miss Gu."
"Who is this?" Gu Xiyan looked at Xuan Ruoxi with a smile, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Hello, I am Xuan Ruoxi."
"Hello, I'm Gu Xiyan. Nice to meet you." Gu Xiyan extended her hand generously, and Xuan Ruoxi naturally wasn't stingy either.
Compared to Lin Xi, this lady is much more polite.
"What a coincidence, we met again in the hospital." Gu Xiyan's words were addressed to Huo Jiyun.
Nodding, Huo Jiyun asked politely: "Why is Miss Gu in the hospital?"
Gu Xiyan's originally smiling face suddenly turned sad, and the beauty's eyebrows were light and sad, which made me feel pity for her. Xuan Ruoxi thought that this Miss Gu was really beautiful. She still had the dignified beauty of a lady, and she also had a scholarly family background.
Gentle and elegant.
Anyone would feel pity for such a delicate beauty. I quietly looked at Huo Jiyun's expression and found that he was looking seriously and without squinting, and his hand was close to the back of her hand intentionally or unintentionally.
Xuan Ruoxi's cheeks felt hot and she lowered her eyes in embarrassment.
Huo Jiyun didn't seem to care much about Gu Xiyan's sadness, and just waited politely for her next words.
"It's my dad. He has stomach trouble again. The doctor said this time it was due to gastric bleeding due to drinking."
Drinking and socializing are unavoidable in business, and the Gu Group is considered a leader, and Chairman Gu's all-rounder is indispensable.
"Since your stomach is not good, you have to advise your father not to drink again in the future."
"Of course I tried to persuade him, but my father said that a businessman can't stop drinking." He seemed to have a stubborn temper.
The three of them had nothing to say for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Xuan Ruoxi was worried about Xiao Ming, so she said: "Ji Yun, I'm worried about Xiao Ming, so I went upstairs first." Because Xuan Ruoxi's title was too intimate, Gu Xiyan was surprised.
He glanced at her.
Looking at Huo Jiyun again, she saw him nodding tenderly and reaching out to lift Xuan Ruoxi's hanging hair. They had been very close since just now, and then Gu Xiyan realized that she seemed to have disturbed them.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo. Forgive me for asking, are you and Miss Xuan a couple?" Gu Xiyan quietly grabbed the corner of her clothes and looked at Huo Jiyun with some anxiety.
Couple! Huo Jiyun watched Xuan Ruoxi leave and slowly turned back to meet Gu Xiyan's bright eyes.
"Forget it! I'm pursuing her." After saying that, he curled his lips and smiled, and the tenderness in his eyes made Gu Xiyan's heart break.
"Oh, I see, I'm sorry, it was me who disturbed you just now. I'm sorry." Gu Xiyan had a very strict upbringing since she was a child, and she also followed her parents' opinions on the relationship between men and women. She has never found anything outside of her parents' wishes.
object.
She was in love with Huo Jiyun. Because of his magnanimity and reputation, as well as his knowledge and family, he was a model for choosing a mate. Before, her father had said that he wanted to match them.
"It doesn't matter, you didn't mean it, right?" Huo Jiyun asked back, and Gu Xiyan could only blush and nod.
"Send my regards to your father and wish him a speedy recovery."
"Thank you, Mr. Huo." After watching him leave, Gu Xiyan sighed and turned around to leave feeling frustrated.
Love is over before it begins.
Xuan Ruoxi returned to the ward, but Xiao Ming did not wake up. He was covered with instruments. The doctor said that if he could survive tonight, he would be able to pass the critical period. If not, it would only take a few days.
"Xiao Ming, I'm sorry." She shed tears of guilt, and Xuan Ruoxi once again felt her own incompetence.
"Mom, Dean, I have fulfilled your trust." Accidents always come so suddenly. She has imagined the future and predicted their ending. But when the facts are in front of her, she just can't face them calmly.
A fresh life passed away in a blink of an eye, so why not make her feel uncomfortable.
If she could, she was willing to suffer for them.
When Huo Jiyun came to the ward, he saw Xuan Ruoxi crying with her head down. Feeling distressed, he physically hugged her into his arms. He let her lean into his arms, gently stroked her hair and whispered comfort.
"Don't cry, I feel bad." Huo Jiyun stayed with Xuan Ruoxi all night long. They sat hand in hand on the bench in the ward, and Xuan Ruoxi fell asleep leaning on his shoulder with her eyes closed.
Huo Jiyun also leaned against her slightly and closed his eyes. When it got dark, the display screen on the instrument stopped floating. The nurse came in and noticed something was wrong, so she immediately called the doctor.
Xuan Ruoxi woke up from her sleep, and Huo Jiyun also frowned.
"Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming, wake up." Xuan Ruoxi couldn't accept it for a while. She didn't expect that the child who was still smiling at her yesterday would close his eyes forever today.
"Ruoxi, please forgive me." Huo Jiyun hugged her tightly and let her tears soak into his heart. In the next few days, the orphanage was shrouded in mourning, and the children all knew that Xiao Ming was gone.
They were obedient and did not make any noise, but followed the arrangements silently. Mingjie kept silent, lowered his head and shed tears. He was blaming himself. It was because of him that Xiao Ming was injured that day.
"It's all my fault." He blamed himself and hit himself on the head.
"Mingjie, what are you doing? Don't hurt yourself." When Xiao Ding saw it, he immediately ran over and grabbed his hand.
"Sister Xiao Ding, it was all because of me, Xiao Ming, that I was injured." Mingjie recounted what happened that day.
"You mean, do you know what happened that day when Xiao Ming was injured?" Originally, Xiao Ding had been looking for the reason. Looking at the surveillance camera, it happened that the power supply of the surveillance camera was not plugged in properly that day, and there was no footage from that time period.
"I accidentally pushed the drawing board. Then Xiao Ming couldn't dodge and was hit."
"Drawing board? But I didn't see any fallen drawing board?" She also checked one side specifically that day. The scene was a bit chaotic at that time, the children were noisy for a while, and in panic, she didn't pay much attention to other details.
"Sister Song was there at that time. She held up the drawing board. Then, she went to call you." Mingjie felt really guilty and his body was trembling. Xiao Ding was afraid of the impact of his unstable mood, so he stopped talking.
Ask.
"Okay Mingjie, you didn't mean it. Stop talking about it. You can't be entirely blamed for this. Don't blame yourself too much. It was me who didn't take good care of you." Xiao Ding felt that everything was her negligence.
She was also in the classroom at the time. It was because she was distracted looking at her cell phone that the tragedy occurred.
"No, Sister Xiao Ding, it's my fault." Mingjie said and became excited. When Xuan Ruoxi came back from the hospital, she saw Xiao Ding trying her best to comfort the emotional Mingjie.
"Xiao Ding, Mingjie, what are you doing?"
Xiao Ming's funeral was very simple. He was an orphan and had no relatives. Huo Jiyun stayed with Xuan Ruoxi until everything was over and he sent Xuan Ruoxi back to the orphanage before leaving.
Xuan Ruoxi's face was a little pale when she just walked in. In just three days, she experienced another separation between life and death.
If Huo Jiyun hadn't been with her all the time, she would probably have stopped thinking about food and tea again.
"Sister Ruoxi, you are back. Mingjie said that Xiao Ming was injured that day because of him."
"What's going on?" An hour later, Xuan Ruoxi and Xiao Ding came out of Mingjie's room. His face looked a little solemn.
"What happened that day was not an accident." From Mingjie's words, Xuan Ruoxi heard some doubts. Thinking about it carefully, she felt that Song Yi was suspicious.
"It's not an accident! Sister Ruoxi, what do you mean-" Xiao Ding's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it. It wasn't an accident, could it be man-made?
"Do you have Song Yi's phone number?"
"I have."
"Contact her for me."
"Sister Ruoxi, you don't doubt Song Yi—"
"I always have to ask if it's her problem." Xuan Ruoxi's expression was serious, and Xiao Ding couldn't help but feel panicked. She hesitated whether to tell Sister Ruoxi about the information that day.
"Xiao Ding, are you hiding anything else from me?" Seeing her hesitation, Xuan Ruoxi looked at her steadily.
"Sister Ruoxi, let me show you some news." Xiao Ding took out her mobile phone and opened the website that Song Yi asked her to download that day.
"Sister Ruoxi, do you think it's Mr. Huo and Mr. Yu?" Xuan Ruoxi looked at the blurry photo and saw that the figures and profiles were indeed Huo Jiyun and Yu Shaoqing.
"When did you find out?"
"That's it - when Song Yi came that day, she told me that this website can make money just by reading the news. I just -" Xiao Ding was too embarrassed to say any more.
It's Song Yi again! Xuan Ruoxi narrowed her eyes. She originally thought that things would be different when a person changes, but it seems that she thought too simply.
"I've known about this news for a long time." Xiao Ding blinked in surprise. Xuan Ruoxi returned the phone to Xiao Ding and said to her seriously: "In the future, don't trust others casually. As for Mr. Huo, I believe him.
"After being together for so long, she believes in Huo Jiyun's character. After spending time together these days, she has gained more recognition for Huo Jiyun.
Xiao Ding realized belatedly that she had been deceived by Song Yi!
What a good Song Yi, it turns out that a dog can't change its habit of eating shit. It's best not to let her meet her again.
