CH 16

Xu Xinghe was finally brought away by Ling Changfeng.

Dead asleep, he quietly shrank in Ling Changfeng’s arms. The moment they arrived, and he was taken out, his head unconsciously rubbed against the latter’s chest.

Ling Changfeng froze for a moment, paused for two seconds, and then walked forward as if nothing had happened.

Lu Sen, the director of the Third Military Hospital, stood in front of a group of doctors and nurses waiting at the door for them.

Everyone saw Ling Changfeng walking towards here from a distance, holding a person in his arms, and their chins almost dropped to the ground.

You must know that Marshal Ling is the legendary iceman who’s been single for more than 50 years!

Although he was matched with a previously divorced omega by the mastermind not long ago, it was said that Marshal Ling disdained that omega and didn’t even greet him.

How can he suddenly be carrying the beauty in his embrace all of a sudden now?

As an old acquaintance of Marshal Ling, Dr. Lu Sen has already considered Ling Changfeng half a monk in his heart.

So when he saw the other party hold a small omega in front of him, Lu Sen’s mouth opened into an O shape, feeling that he was smashed by a tsunami.

Regardless how surprised he was, Lu Sen quickly instructed the medical staff to send Xu Xinghe into the VIP ward, and began treatment.

Inside the VIP ward.

Xu Xinghe was lying on the hospital bed, as if he was sleeping deeply.

His breathing was still a little labored, but his cheeks were not as flushed as they had been when he came in.

Surrounded by various monitoring equipment, two nurses were recording data on the display.

The older head nurse’s face was calm, but the younger nurse couldn’t help her curiosity and secretly glanced at the person on the hospital bed-

This was the rumored “Major General Mu’s ex-wife” – Marshal Ling’s current spouse?

Didn’t they all say Marshal Ling hated this match very much, and would get divorced after a year? Why did he bring him over himself?

Perhaps because the look in her eyes were too explicit, the head nurse on the opposite side coughed lightly and gave her a warning look.

Only then did the little nurse remember that there was a big man in the room. She quickly retracted her gaze, and continued to carry out her work with due diligence.

This is the Third Hospital of the Military Ministry, a first-class hospital directly under Capital Star’s Military Department.

Everyone who works here has signed a non-disclosure agreement, and everything that happens here will not be passed on to the outside world.

Ling Changfeng sat on the sofa not far away, looking down at an electronic document, as if he didn’t care about everything around him.

Qin Yuan knocked on the door and walked in: “How’s it going?”

Ling Changfeng didn’t say a word, but the head nurse replied, “The patient’s body temperature has dropped. Except for his lymphocyte and monocyte count that are still high, his other indicators are normal. He just needs to rest.”

Qin Yuan nodded. “Thank you for the hard work, you go down first.”

After hearing this, the nurses looked back at Marshal Ling. When they saw the other party’s acquiescence, they turned and left.

After everyone left, Qin Yuan sat next to Ling Changfeng, lowered his voice and said, “You’re already here, do you want to get a checkup?”

Ling Changfeng lifted his eyelids to look at him, but Qin Yuan persisted. “It’s all our people on our side here. The one from your family is still asleep… Why don’t you go to rest for a while? You haven’t closed your eyes since last night.”

“It’s all outer trauma; the medical device has already dealt with it.” Ling Changfeng interrupted him. “Remember what I said last night, this time, don’t make any noise. Just pretend that nothing happened, and wait for their next move. The initiative is in our hands now. The calmer we are, the more irritated the other party will be, and the more desperately they’ll take risks and reveal their true colors.”

“I understand.” Qin Yuan sighed, and his expression gradually became serious. “But Changfeng, anxious rabbits will also bite people. Using such low-level means now, means that they should be at the end of their ropes. Such people are the most dangerous, you must be careful.”

Ling Changfeng nodded and put down the terminal in his hand, and turned to look out the window at the blue sky.

Qin Yuan inadvertently glanced at the text on the brain, and his expression suddenly became very intrigued: “What is this??”

Ling Changfeng glanced at him, and locked the screen: “It has nothing to do with you.”

Qin Yuan suddenly burst out laughing. His tone returned to that casual joking tone after a minute. “Why doesn’t it matter? Isn’t this what this subordinate worked so hard to sort out for you? Old man, you didn’t read it before marriage, why are you suddenly starting catch up lessons now??”

Ling Changfeng glanced at him: “Are you too relaxed at work?”

Qin Yuan: “…”

He saw Ling Changfeng’s eyes and knew that there was nothing wrong, so he quickly stood up and walked away: “I suddenly remembered that I still have some work to do. I’ll leave first, bye bye!”

As if someone smeared oil on his feet, he rushed out the door in three or two steps.

Just as his hand landed on the door button, he put it down again: “By the way, since you are now interested in his life and past, there is one more thing I need to tell you about the scar on his gland-“

Ling Changfeng raised his head.

Qin Yuan turned around and glanced at the monitoring equipment beside Xu Xinghe. After confirming that he was still asleep, he said, “I have seen his health file. It’s very strange that the injury on the back of his neck has not been recorded in any medical records.”

Qin Yuan continued sternly: “This injury was entered into his records for the first time during a normal checkup. Such a deep wound at such a sensitive position can never be cured by a home therapy device, but there is no record. Therefore, it is still unknown how this wound came about.”

Qin Yuan paused and asked, “Do I need to check it out?”

Ling Changfeng was silent, and his mismatched eyes paused on Xu Xinghe on the hospital bed. After a long time, he slowly said, “No need.”

“Understood.” Qin Yuan made an “OK” gesture, and then tilted his head, “I thought you wanted to know.”

“I really want to know.” Ling Changfeng replied.

“But if he doesn’t say the answer himself, and I dug it out… I’m afraid it will hurt him again.”

Qin Yuan’s eyes flashed with surprise. He was stunned for two seconds, and then he smiled: “I see.”

In fact, the moment Ling Changfeng opened his mouth, he understood his intention.

People always have their own secrets. Thinking about it from the other party’s perspective, if the past one doesn’t want to mention is dug up by others, how will you feel?

“Then I will retire first. In addition, there is something I want to say to you again—” Qin Yuan’s tone was still cynical, but his eyes were very sincere. “Happy wedding.”

He opened the door, turned around, and left.

For a moment, he wanted to tell his superior and friend –

He hadn’t heard the word “worry” from his mouth for a long time.1

These subtle changes may not even have been noticed by the party himself.

But so what?

Worry born from love will eventually be resolved by love.

Just go with the flow.

——

Xu Xinghe finally woke up in a daze.

Although he was conscious in a trance, he couldn’t open his eyes.

His body hurts all over.

He heard a familiar and deep voice ask, “Why hasn’t the fever gone down yet?”

Another young female voice replied, “The fever will go down soon after taking medicine.”

At this moment, a hand covered his forehead.

The pain in his body seemed to ease a little.

He vaguely smelled a strange yet familiar fragrance.

It reminded him of serenity, depth, and boundlessness;

As well as vitality, tolerance, and surging…

It reminded him of the sparkling waves under the scorching sun, and the mysterious dreams under the moonlight-

Like the sea.

Not exactly the sea.

In that faint fragrance, his frown gradually loosened, and he fell into a deep sleep again.

When he opened his eyes again, the sun was shining outside the window.

Xu Xinghe felt that he had almost recovered.

Anyway, his head doesn’t hurt, his muscles aren’t sore, and he doesn’t have any problem breathing.

Just a little hungry.

However, the nurse smiled and refused to accept his request for food and drink, and kindly brought him liquid food and nutritional supplements, saying that they were nourishing for the stomach.

Xu Xinghe: “…”

After he finished the liquid food, he raised his hand and started contacting friends to make a hot pot appointment.

Xu Xinghe: “Tonight at 6:30, see @everyone at the hot pot restaurant at the gate of the school”

Lin Qi: “Damn you, Brother Xu!!! You finally showed up!!!”

Lin Qi: “You’ve been out of contact for more than 24 hours! I was ready to call the cops to find you!!!”

Xu Xinghe: “?”

He looked at the unread 99+ messages in the group chat, and scrolled upwards-

The day before yesterday, 20:18

Lin Qi: “Did the date go well? @Xu Xinghe”

The day before yesterday, 22:09

Lin Qi: “Have you finished eating yet? @Xu Xinghe”

The day before yesterday, 23:51

Lin Qi: “If you don’t reply to the news, I will suspect that you are doing other things after dinner?!! @Xu Xinghe”

Vincent: “Don’t you have to write a paper?”

Lin Qi: “No heart to write, I am too curious about what they’re doing now!”

Vincent: “Treasure life, don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask”

Lin Qi: “?”

Yesterday, 10:03

Lin Qi: “The first day Xinghe disappeared, miss him”

Yesterday, 12:37

Lin Qi : “It ‘s not right”

Vincent: “It’s not right”

Cheryl: “It’s not right”

Vincent: “Didn’t you go to the exam? @Cheryl”

Cheryl: “I just came out after the exam, thinking about what they did last night while taking the exam… But Brother Xu has disappeared for too long, right? It’s really not right, I hope I can see his news after the exam this afternoon.”

Yesterday, 13:11

Lin Qi: “Even if there was too much indulgence last night, it’s time to get up by now”

Vincent: “You can call him directly”

Lin Qi: “I dare not”

Vincent: “?”

Lin Qi: “I’m afraid he is still in bed, or is…”

…

Xu Xinghe took a deep breath and spoke directly to the group.2

Xu Xinghe: “Lin! Qi!”

Lin Qi: “It’s good, just type, your tone is very scary.”

Xu Xinghe: “When we meet again tonight, have you thought about how to face me?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard footsteps from outside the door.

It should be the doctor who came, so Xu Xinghe didn’t care too much.

Lin Qi: “???”

Lin Qi: “Isn’t this my line? Why did you lose contact for so long? We are really worried about what happened to you”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

His heart softened by three points seeing the words on the screen, and his tone softened: “Forget it, it’s hard to say, let’s talk about it when we meet for dinner.”

Lin Qi: “Can you come out now?”

Xu Xinghe: “Of course I can come out. I just got married, and I will leave after a year. It’s not like I signed a permanent contract…”

Halfway through his sentence, Xu Xinghe suddenly felt the surrounding air pressure drop suddenly, and his voice unconsciously trailed off.

As soon as he looked up, the doctor and staff who came to the room had already assembled into two rows at the door.

And every face is wonderful.

Except for one person. His face was covered with ice and snow that had accumulated for thousands of years, in stark contrast to the crowd of people with varying expressions around him.

A pair of indifferent eyes like a Persian cat turned towards him.

Xu Xinghe: “…”
