Chapter 146 Regaining what was lost

The dazzling white filled the entire space again, and Jian Chi was being pulled away. He felt a weightlessness that gradually floated upward, and Qin Chuxu’s face became more and more blurred in his field of vision.

“Is this the truth?” Jian Chi asked laboriously.

“This is the truth.” Qin Chuxu’s answer was clean and powerful.

“Why now?” Jian Chi knew that Qin Chuxu had concealed it for some reason, but no one would be able to keep calm when they saw the scene just now. Jian Chi still asked, as an unstoppable vent: “Why didn’t you tell me in the beginning?”

Qin Chuxu shook his head, “According to the regulations, I have to hide it from you. Just now, I was reminded by the system that I violated the rules.”

Jian Chi didn’t understand, “The system?”

“This is our artificial intelligence in this world used to supervise work,” Qin Chuxu seemed to laugh, unable to hear clearly, “but it doesn’t matter, it’s good to enjoy a long vacation after finishing the task, but unfortunately, salary will not be available this month.” After speaking, he let out a long sigh.

Jian Chi finally understood that Qin Chuxu had to bear the cost of him learning the truth, and immediately felt guilty for the over-the-top tone, “I’m sorry, does this affect you a lot?”

“Yeah, I might lose this work.”

Qin Chuxu stunned Jian Chi, and both of them were silent for a few seconds, then finally he couldn’t hold back the playing tone on his lips, “If you really feel bad for me, go back and live a good life, you have to remember that these things will never happen again. Before you know it, you have changed the fate of many people. You are more important than you think, Jian Chi.” 

The sense of weightlessness made Jian Chi’s consciousness farther and farther away, and Qin Chuxu’s voice was covered by bursts of noise from the outside world, “What was the last sentence?”

“We’re going to say goodbye here.”

When Jian Chi heard it clearly, there was an indescribable sense of disappointment and loss. Without Qin Chuxu’s appearance and the truth he brought, he would continue to live in the wrong and be kept in the dark for the rest of his life. People will always be grateful to the first person who told the truth. Jian Chi said with his only remaining consciousness: “Goodbye, thank you.” Thinking of something, he added: “I’m really sorry for causing you to have your salary detained.”

Qin Chuxu smiled, this time it wasn’t like before, Jian Chi knew that he was watching him leave with a smile.

The color that came into view was no longer dazzling white, and the faint smell of disinfectant lingered on the tip of his nose. Jian Chi blinked his eyes slowly, and the blurred double image gradually became clear. Just as he was about to speak, he found the oxygen mask on his face.

“Cough…”

Jian Chi wanted to ask ‘is there anyone?’, but a dry cough came from his throat. He moved his fingers, wiped a piece of clothing abruptly. He turned his head, there was a man lying on the bed with messy black hair, he fell asleep with his cheeks buried in his arms.

Jian Chi raised his arm laboriously and patted him on the top of his head. Shao Hang’s shoulder moved, stagnant for two seconds, then suddenly he raised his head and met Jian Chi’s opened eyes, his voice was hoarse when he spoke. “…Jian Chi?”

“En,” Jian Chi didn’t feel bad, but he couldn’t use his strength, including his voice, “Can you call the doctor over and take off the mask?” He felt miserable from being so stifled.

“Okay, I’ll call the doctor.”

Shao Hang seemed to have lost his soul in the shock. He almost tripped over a chair when he stood up. When he walked to the door, he turned back and stared at Jian Chi for the last time. Jian Chi didn’t know what he was nervous about, until the doctor came and told him that he had been in a coma for a whole week, and his vital signs were weak for a time, it was only then did Jian Chi understand Shao Hang’s soullessness when he saw him wake up.

Fortunately it was all over.

In the afternoon, Jian Chi was able to sit up with the help of others. Shao Hang brought him dinner, which seemed to be a nutritious meal specially made by someone. His taste was still numb, but his hunger drove him to finish it all. The doctor told Jian Chi that he was lucky that only two ribs and some skin injuries were injured in the car accident, accompanied by a slight concussion. During the week that he was in a coma, the doctors were all confused by this turn of event and even suspected that there was a misdiagnosis. Otherwise, according to his injuries, he would never have been in a coma for that long. Only Jian Chi knew that at that time he was in a fantasy world and was subverted by Bai Xiyu’s actions.

“How are you feeling now, are you tired?” 

For the whole day, from waking up to the evening, Shao Hang didn’t leave the ward except to help him with meals, Jian Chi didn’t know where to start to explain all this, “I’m much better, Didn’t you hear what the doctor said just now? I can be discharged in two weeks at most.”

“Really?” 

Jian Chi laughed, “Weren’t you here when the doctor said it?”

“He also said at the beginning that you would wake up in two days.”

Jian Chi had to shut his mouth.

He originally wanted to ask Shao Hang a lot of things, but seeing Shao Hang’s obvious tiredness and the dark blue eyes in his eyes, this selfish thought was dispelled. The sky was completely dark, and Jian Chi urged Shao Hang to go home and rest quickly, but Shao Hang would not go no matter what. The doctor who was doing the rounds also persuaded him a few words after he came in. In the end, under the double offensive of Jian Chi and the doctor, Shao Hang reluctantly agreed, then almost threateningly instructed the doctor to call him no matter what time of day if anything happened. When he left, it was like in the morning, him turning back three times.

Jian Chi was amused by his nervousness, and at the same time felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

None of them mentioned the car accident. Perhaps Shao Hang also understood that the most important thing now was not how to take revenge, but to take care of himself first. Jian Chi answered the doctor’s questions one by one. Seeing that he was leaving, he clutched the quilt and stopped the other party: “Do you know the person who was in the car accident with me, how is he now?”

Jian Chi had already told himself over and over that it would be alright, but the moment his voice fell, his heartbeat still couldn’t be stopped. He was afraid to hear an answer he didn’t want to hear, even if there was only a 1% chance, he was still afraid to breathe. The doctor said, “Are you referring to the gentleman surnamed Ji? His injury is a little more serious than yours, and he is still in a coma. I am not his attending physician. If you want to know more, you can ask Dr. Zhang.”

“Can I go see him?” Jian Chi didn’t dare to ask what this ‘a little more’ represented. Severity in a doctor’s perception was often different from a patient’s understanding to a certain extent. Rather than hearing a more specific and cruel description, Jian Chi wanted to see Ji Huaisi with his own eyes.

“I don’t recommend you get out of bed as soon as you wake up,” the doctor finally let a sigh of relief when he met Jian Chi’s anxious and anxious eyes, “If you really want to go, ask the nurse to push you over in a wheelchair, go and come back quickly. “

“Thank you, doctor.”

The freshness of taking a wheelchair for the first time was lost in the nervousness about seeing Ji Huaisi. Jian Chi’s mind was full of Ji Huaisi’s appearance, and he was afraid to see a wounded, gauze covered Ji Huaisi. He was even more afraid that even if he used his last thoughts to protect Ji Huaisi’s hand, he would not be able to change the outcome.

He thought that he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

The nurse pushed open the door of the single room ward, and an elegant floral fragrance accompanied by the smell of disinfectant wafted out of the dimly lit room. There were a bunch of flowers in a vase by the bedside. What caught Jian Chi’s eyes was not the terrifying picture he imagined. Ji Huaisi was lying on the hospital bed as if he was asleep, with gauze wrapped around his head, just like him at the beginning. Wearing an oxygen mask, his arms were placed outside the quilt, and the back of his right hand was attached to an IV drip.

The coma these days made Ji Huaisi thinner, and even his wrists became thinner.

Jian Chi came to Ji Huaisi’s bed, and carefully held up his clean and slender left hand, which was not wrapped in gauze. Tears fell suddenly for some reason and melted on the sheets.

He was glad that Ji Huaisi won’t open his eyes to see his sorry state at the moment, so that he can continue to vent his joy and sadness unscrupulously. Looking at Ji Huaisi’s peaceful profile in the dark, Jian Chi clenched his hand tightly, approached his lips, and printed a kiss that represented all the good hopes in the world, a lost and found kiss.

“Great.”
