When she woke up in the morning, Jiang Shuxia saw Lingxuyao lying beside him the first thing she did. She touched his face and for a moment, Jiang Shuxia couldn't help but tear up.
She had nothing left but him now.
Lingxuyao looked at her gently. "You're awake?"
"En!" Jiang Shuxia hooked her arms around his neck, her tears still hanging on her long eyelashes. She looked pitiful and delicate, making people's hearts ache for her.
Lingxuyao touched her forehead, luckily his fever had subsided, "Why are you crying?"
"Lingxuyao, Lingxuyao, Lingxuyao —" Jiang Shuxia did not answer, but only yelled his name over and over again while tears continued to flow uncontrollably down his face.
Lingxuyao's heart trembled. He hugged her tightly in his embrace, and patted her back with his large hands as if he was comforting a child. "It's alright, I'm here."
When she thought about what happened last night, Jiang Shuxia felt a burst of lingering fear. When she thought about how she was going to be possessed by another man, she would rather die immediately.
"Lingxuyao, I'm in pain!"
"Where does it hurt? I'll get a doctor! " Lingxuyao frowned.
Jiang Shuxia took his big hand, and placed it on top of her own heart, "Here!"
The pain was because she still had a sliver of hope for her kinship with blood that was thicker than water and was unwilling to part with it. She originally thought that their blood and flesh relationship would not be so indifferent to such a degree, but she didn't expect that Jiang Yu really wanted to force her to her death.
She would never have a father again. From now on, she was an orphan.
Lingxuyao lowered her eyes and looked at her small face, his delicate eyebrows knitted together, her teary eyes really made one's heart ache.
He lowered his head, lifted her chin, and kissed it lightly. "Does it hurt?"
She nodded.
It hurt like hell.
Ling Xuyao, I'm so scared. I almost thought I was going to die …" Jiang Shuxia began to cry. "Wuu … I'm so scared …
Lingxuyao hugged her tightly, a trace of hostility flashed past his eyes, his voice was cold enough to freeze people, "Tell her, what did they do to you?"
"No, I didn't." Jiang Shuxia hugged Lingxuyao's waist, and shook his head with all his might in's embrace, "Lingxuyao, I only have you now, you better not leave me!"
Lingxuyao patted her back, and comforted her softly, "Be good, how could I not want you!"
He was just blaming himself. If he had arrived earlier, she wouldn't have had to suffer so much.
"I came late, sorry." Lingxuyao lowered his head and pressed it against her forehead.
"Lingxuyao —" Jiang Shuxia looked at Lingxuyao's face. This was clearly not his faulthee himself was too stupid. Even though he knew there was a trap, she was actually tricked twice by in the same way.
"My father was there last night, did you know that?" Jiang Shuxia's nose twitched, and tears once again flowed out. "She's the father that I've called for more than twenty years, my biological father!"
Lingxuyao saw her sad appearance and said that he had long given up hope. However, he was still a blood relative, how could there be no hope?
The more one cared about someone, the more one couldn't afford to lose. Kind people are the most vulnerable.
"Don't be afraid, you still have me!"
It was a simple consolation, but she was very satisfied. As long as he was by her side, she wasn't afraid of the heavens collapsing.
Her body moved, and Jiang Shuxia immediately frowned. She raised her head and looked at Lingxuyao pitifully, "My legs are in pain ~"
There were deep gashes in her thigh. She had stabbed them herself last night with a pair of scissoring scissors, deep and bleeding profusely.
Lingxuyao sat up and lifted the blanket, he looked at the thick layer of gauze wrapped around her thighs, and his eyes revealed a stern look: "I'll go call the doctor!"
"No!" Jiang Shuxia shook her head, her big eyes looking at him like a little girl who knew nothing of the world, "If you help me blow it, it won't hurt anymore. When I fell down when I was young, Mom would help me blow it."
Lingxuyao's eyes moved. He looked at her expression, and then very consciously lowered his head and blew for her.
Jiang Shuxia looked at his serious look, and tears slowly gathered in her eyes, "Lingxuyao."
"Hmm?" He looked up at her.
"My birthday is coming up soon," Jiang Shuxia's expression was a little dejected, as he said with deep sadness. "The day of my birthday, was also the day that mother died."
In that car accident, she should have been the one to die. It was her mother who used her body to protect her, allowing her to live on. From that time onwards, Jiang Shuxia never had a birthday again.
When she thought about the car accident back then, Jiang Shuxia couldn't help but say, "I was the one who harmed mother. I really hope that the one who died that day was me!"
Lingxuyao's expression changed slightly, and he hugged her tightly, "Good girl, this is not your fault. Your mother hopes that you can continue to live well and not carry so much self-blame. "
Her eyes seemed to have instantly borne too much, surpassing the limits of what she could endure.
That sorrowful expression, it seemed as if it could crush her at any time.
"Lingxuyao, I know that there are many people who want me to die, perhaps I really shouldn't live in this world. "If it wasn't for me, mother would have been able to live …"
Jiang Shuxia's voice began to choke, and her delicate face was already filled with tears.
Lingxuyao lowered his head, and buried his breath in her hair, "Since your mother chose to let you live, then don't disappoint her, otherwise, she will be sad."
"Yeah, I know." She nodded, her eyes still misty. "I'm going to make all those who have wronged my mother pay!"
"Alright." Lingxuyao stroked her hair, and his lips curled up slightly. This was the Jiang Shuxia in his memories.
"Ring, ring, ring ~ ~ ~"
When his phone rang, Lingxuyao took a look at his phone. His eyes darkened as he stood up and walked to the side of the window.
Jiang Shuxia lied on the bed and looked at Lingxuyao's figure in the morning light coming from the window. With him here, she would always feel at ease.
Her phone was the same one that they had bought together, but which one of hers had gone missing last night.
After hanging up, Lingxuyao walked over. Jiang Shuxia frowned, "Are you leaving?"
Lingxuyao naturally knew what she was thinking in her heart, and she smiled gently, "I'll take you with me!"
Hearing this, Jiang Shuxia's haze had been swept away, "Lingxuyao, you're great!"
After completing the discharge procedures, Lingxuyao carried her out of the hospital and went to eat breakfast.
It was past the rush hour of the morning and the road was not crowded. The two of them had arrived at the Lovesick scene.
When the Lady Boss saw Lingxuyao, she quickly came out to welcome him. "Mr. Ling, the sun is rising from the west today. You actually brought a girl to my place to eat?"
He led them all the way out of the rooftop. The scenery here was very good. The surroundings were decorated with an ancient style. Below them was a small courtyard with lotus flowers blossoming in the pond. It was a comfortable and elegant place with a pleasant scenery.
"Miss, this is our menu. Please take a look." The Lady Boss gave the menu back to Lingxuyao with a good eye. Lingxuyao had brought this girl here just now, so the relationship between the two was definitely not ordinary.
Jiang Shuxia looked at the menu, the words written on it were extremely elegant, the picture was beautiful, and it looked to be extremely alluring. With such an alluring dish, she really couldn't make a choice, and could only look at Lingxuyao with a frown.
Lingxuyao smiled slightly, he did not look at the menu, but raised his head to look at the Lady Boss, "A bowl of Acacia Red Bean Porridge, plus a serving of Crystal Dumplings."
She liked to eat dumplings, but red bean porridge could help replenish her blood.
"Alright, Mr. Ling, what about you?"
"Same old rules!"
The Lady Boss smiled in tacit understanding, "Ok, Mr. Ling, please wait a moment."
Jiang Shuxia rested her chin on her hand and looked around at the scenery.
After a while, she seemed to have thought of something, "Lingxuyao, you accompanied me inside the hospital last night, what about Little Bei?"
Lingxuyao spoke very calmly, "Don't worry, I'll get Qin Sheng to take care of me."
"Huh?" Jiang Shuxia looked at him in displeasure, "Qin Sheng has such a straightforward character, how can he take care of a good child?" She had always felt that Qin Sheng was too unreliable.
Lingxuyao chuckled. Qin Sheng was, after all, a father, how could he let his child suffer grievances, so he would definitely take good care of Little Bas.
He reached out and held her small hand, smiling as he comforted her, "You are injured now, so you still need to take care of yourself. How can you take care of your child? Don't worry, Little Treasure has been taken care of very well by Qin Sheng! Tomorrow Qing Qing will come and play with him. "
Jiang Shuxia curled her lips, and explained unhappily, "My small injuries are nothing."
"Do you need me to carry you all the way?" Lingxuyao's eyes were filled with a warm smile.
Jiang Shuxia's expression turned awkward as she tried to defend herself, "Actually, I could walk by myself, but you insisted on hugging me instead. You can't blame me for that!"
He teased, "You were still shouting about the pain in the morning and wanted me to help you blow it. Are you not going to admit it now?"
It was hard to imagine how this seemingly weak woman could have so much courage to stab herself in the thigh. It was rather shocking.
Lingxuyao felt a deep guilt in his heart. If he had rushed over to the hotel earlier last night, perhaps she wouldn't have to go through this nightmarish process.
Very soon, a waiter brought the breakfast over. The fragrance of the red bean porridge soon filled the air. Jiang Shuxia took a deep breath and praised, "It smells so good!"
He picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful. He put it in his mouth and blew on it, then put it in his mouth. It was soft, sweet and appetizing.
"If it's delicious, then eat more." Lingxuyao took a sip of the coffee in front of her, looking at her with his black eyes.
Jiang Shuxia looked at the porridge in her spoon and suddenly said a poem. "I don't know if it's true or not."
The sweet taste was just like those sweet thoughts when one was reminiscing. The name of the porridge was very appropriate.
"Got it." Lingxuyao followed her words and replied as he looked at her with squinted eyes.
Jiang Shuxia rolled her eyes at him, "I'm talking about the porridge in this bowl, not asking you about it."
