C105

Separated by a door, Su Qiao An hesitated.

He finally mustered the courage to knock on the door. He raised his hand and lightly knocked on the door.

She frowned and called out, "Zhu Jiangci?"

"Zhu Jiangci, are you there?" She had not heard any response from her until now, so she was even more worried about what had happened to Zhu Jiangci.

Just as he was about to knock on the door again, the closed door opened.

Seeing that Zhu Jiangci was unharmed, Su Qiao An secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He asked, "What's the matter?"

"Are you all right?" Su Qiao An said, "I saw blood on your clothes in the toilet basket, did your wound split open?"

"I'm fine." Zhu Jiangci replied coldly.

She awkwardly stood at the door while Zhu Jiangci said, "Are you still not leaving?"

"…" Su Qiao An swallowed his saliva, lowered his eyes and said, "Don't misunderstand, I just don't want you to die here, and dirty my family's land."

"Don't worry. Even if I die, I won't die here." Zhu Jiangci laughed coldly, then closed the door heavily.

Su Qiao An rubbed the tip of her nose crestfallen. Before she turned around to leave, she would occasionally turn her head to look at the closed door.

His attitude was as cold as ever, but his face was paler than before.

Su Qiao An was worried. At night, he lay on his bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, she got up and moved to the door of his room.

This time she did not knock because the door was not closed.

The warm light in the room shone through the tiny cracks, and she gently pushed open the door to enter.

Her old desk was covered with folders and her laptop was open.

Su Qiao An slowly walked in. Seeing the man sleeping on the table, she heaved a sigh of relief.

He took out a blanket from the closet and covered it with it. Through the dim lamp on the table, he could clearly see the man's strong silhouette.

The eyelashes were low, hung over the eyelids, and cast a pale gray shadow.

Closing his pair of deep eyes, under the gentle light, he lost his usual hostility and cold arrogance, and his eyes became gentle and warm.

Su Qiao An gently raised her hand and caressed his hair. Her thin and short hair drooped down in front of her forehead as she gently brushed it.

If only he had been like this all along. She had thought that she would give anything to get the chance to be with him.

Later …

She had always felt that the price she had to pay was simply too miserable, to the point that she couldn't remain calm when facing Zhu Jiangci.

Su Qiao An felt that every time she interacted with him, it was a sin of greed.

As far as the eye could see, the protruding Adam's apple was slightly rolling, and the tightly pursed lips were bloodless.

She saw that Zhu Jiangci's brows were knitted tightly and beads of perspiration seeped out from his forehead, only then did she realise that something was amiss.

Su Qiao An reached out his hands and left the place right away. His forehead was so hot that it was scary.

Touching his arms and cheeks, his body felt hot and feverish.

Thinking about how he forced himself to run out of the hospital, and how he had to carry Su Qiao An for such a long time, Su Qiao An was worried that he had gotten a second infection due to the wound opening, hence he started to have a high fever in the middle of the night.

Su Qiao An tried to wake Zhu Jiangci up. He was dizzy, his head was heavy like lead.

He followed her instructions and stood up. After taking a few steps, he leaned into a more comfortable place and fell into a deep sleep.

"Zhu Jiangci?" Su Qiao An thought he was already awake after being hugged by him, so she tried to call out to him a few times.

He did not reply.

Su Yun moved the hand that was on his body away and saw that he had fainted.

Su Qiao An hesitated for a moment, then took off his clothes and rolled it up. His abdomen was wrapped in bandages, and it was already stained red with blood, which meant that she was right.

This town was still very far from the hospital, and it would be difficult to catch up with them. Especially with the bumps on the road, she was afraid that Zhu Jiangci would not be able to take it.

"His mouth is very deep, and he's already infected. I think we have to go to the hospital." When the barefoot doctor arrived, he cleaned him up. Seeing the deep gaping hole, he sincerely suggested, "If we don't go to the hospital, I'm afraid it will be even worse!"

"It's too far to the hospital now, I'm afraid he won't be able to take it. Why don't you help him apply some medicine to stop the bleeding? I saw that his luggage was filled with medicine so I'll feed him first. If it doesn't work out, then there's nothing we can do." How could Su Qiao An not want to send Zhu Jiangci to the hospital? It was just that the distance to the hospital was too far. With Zhu Jiangci's current condition, if he were to rush to the hospital, his injuries would probably worsen.

The barefoot doctor checked on Zhu Jiangci's condition and sighed, "Alright then! "I'll apply medicine to clean his wounds first. For now, don't give him the medicine prescribed by the hospital. Take this list and go to my store to get some medicine. Then, fry the medicine and give it to him. If he doesn't have a fever, you'll really have to send him to the hospital."

"Okay, thank you, doctor." Su Qiao An took the list and anxiously ran downstairs.

In the middle of the night, everyone in the small town fell asleep. Even the barefoot doctor was called out by her.

He said, "I've already helped him clean his wounds and applied some external medicine on him. If he has a fever, then he'll be fine, but tomorrow, bring him to the hospital to be treated once more. At the same time, ask the doctor to prescribe some anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medicine for him, if he doesn't retreat, don't delay, and quickly send him to the hospital."

"En, I understand. Thank you!" Su Yun meticulously remembered the doctor's reminder.

After sending her away, she didn't stay idle either; she fried medicine and took care of Zhu Jiangci. She busied herself until 3 or 4 in the morning before she carried the medicine and gave it to Zhu Jiangci to drink.

She leaned over and tested Zhu Jiangci's temperature from time to time to take out the thermometer. After seeing that the temperature had dropped, Su Qiao An finally let out a breath of relief.

Seeing the man lying on the bed, Su Qiao An was in a daze. She rarely saw Zhu Jiangci showing any signs of weakness.

With such an defenseless and weak Zhu Jiangci, it was her fortune to be able to see him.

And only when he was not on guard and could not feel the outside world did Su Qiao An dare to get close to him.

She held the warm, dry hand tentatively and whispered, "I chose to give up because I no longer have the courage to continue. I don't know when you will see me, I don't want to wait anymore …" "However, I have no future. I was the one who said that I would give up first, but I also do not wish to see you sad, and do not wish to see you in a difficult situation."

Su Qiao An hoped that in a place where she couldn't see, Zhu Jiangci would be able to live a good life like before.
