Rong Xigu watched as the woman in front of him stared blankly, instinctively glancing at his friend beside him, who had his eyes tightly shut. If it weren't for the situation, he would have definitely walked away. Reluctantly, he introduced himself, "I am Rong Xigu, his good friend. Can you tell me how you feel?"
The child seemed unable to speak after being poisoned. Shen Huai Min rushed to the front of the crowd.
Su Xing awkwardly spoke up, "Uh, I can talk. It's just that I feel a bit nauseous and dizzy."
Pregnant? So soon?
In the crowd, that familiar voice scolding could only belong to Luo Hao; Su Xing couldn't think of anyone else!
Su Xing shot a glare at Luo Hao from the crowd and then turned to Rong Xigu, asking, "Why hasn't he woken up yet? Is his injury serious?"
"It's just superficial wounds, but he lost a lot of blood. Combined with the effects of that unknown gas, we don't know when he'll wake up," Qin Yi replied.
"It should be soon," Su Xing nodded with a frown. "He will find a way. He developed the antidote for his previous injuries; he will definitely succeed."
Su Xing's gaze shifted to Shen Jingyu, her worries taking precedence as she momentarily forgot how many people were watching her in the room!
Rong Xigu asked somewhat perplexed, "Aren't you concerned about your own condition?"
Su Xing looked at him and replied, "Aren't I awake now? No matter how serious it is, it can't be worse than his!"
Rong Xigu smiled faintly; he could somewhat understand why Shen Jingyu had fallen for her.
However, he seemed to speak deliberately and slowly said, "The gas you inhaled contains a highly concentrated addictive toxin. You two should have been treated in isolation, but since you couldn't be separated, we made special arrangements."
"But you must understand that if either of you experiences an addiction crisis, the consequences are beyond anyone's estimation."
Su Xing understood why so many people were focused on her now.
But she spoke clearly and directly, "It's simple: either I go crazy and attack him or he goes crazy and attacks me! But you all should know his combat ability; whether I live or die doesn't matter to you."
Thus, even though they were in the same room, the concerns of these people were meaningless.
However, Rong Xigu calmly said, "But Jing Yu would hurt himself for your sake; he would rather harm himself than let you get hurt!"
Su Xing's heart sank; she had no way to refute his words.
A brief silence filled the air.
Suddenly, the man beside Su Xing, who had yet to open his eyes, unexpectedly spoke up.
"Stop scaring my woman!"
"Everyone, get out! What’s the point of so many people staring at us?!"
"You’re awake! How are you? Is anything wrong?"
Su Xing's voice was noticeably cheerful, tinged with a hint of joy. Despite Shen Jingyu having taken down a couple of his elders, they all visibly sighed in relief.
"You little brat! Just because you're in a relationship doesn't mean you can act recklessly!"
"Go on, go on, no one is paying attention to you!"
Only Shen Huai Min dared to say such a thing. Although he had just insulted Shen Jingyu, everyone could tell he was referring to his own nephew! Hadn’t he just driven everyone out in an instant?
Now that Shen Jingyu was awake and still had the strength to protect his woman, the next steps were up to the doctors.
Soon, everyone dispersed, leaving only Rong Xigu behind.
Shen Jingyu still hadn’t opened his eyes. He asked, "Did they catch him?"
"No." Rong Xigu quickly noticed something was off. "What’s wrong with your eyes?"
"It hurts; I can't open them," Shen Jingyu replied in a low voice.
"How could this happen? How did your eyes get injured?" Su Xing nearly jumped out of bed in panic.
But as she moved, a wave of dizziness hit her, and she couldn’t help but turn to the side and vomit.
Rong Xigu swiftly brought a trash bin to her side of the bed.
Fortunately, Su Xing only dry-heaved; she had already undergone gastric lavage last night while unconscious.
Feeling embarrassed, Su Xing glanced at Rong Xigu and said, "Thank you."
Rong Xigu, who had never attended to any woman like this before, replied, "Thank yourself for being Shen Jingyu's woman!"
"What’s wrong with the stars?" Shen Jingyu anxiously tried to sit up, but his head throbbed even more. He felt pain from several knife wounds on his body; the wounds were infected with poison and hurt terribly.
Seeing that Su Xing was feeling better, Rong Xigu put down the trash bin and said to the two of them, "You both are in similar situations; it’s not looking good. Let’s wait for Qin Yi to come this afternoon!"
He then looked at Su Xing and added, "Su Xing, your eyes are just as red; you should close them and rest!"
Shen Jingyu frowned, struggling to endure the pain from the chili water irritating his eyes. He opened his eyes to look at Su Xing.
They locked eyes in surprise; both of their sclerae were red. However, Shen Jingyu's condition seemed worse.
"Can you even see clearly? You should close your eyes."
In truth, Su Xing couldn't see clearly either; it felt as if a layer of red gauze was blocking her vision. Little did they know that the reality was that their eyes were both red.
Shen Jingyu's brows had not relaxed at all; as he closed his eyes, red tears began to flow from the corners of his eyes. Rong Xigu, quick on his feet, immediately grabbed a tissue to wipe them away.
What about the others? Shen Jingyu knew that Xiao Jie was ruthless, and this medicine was certainly not something good. Whether light or heavy, the severity was nothing compared to what they both saw in each other's eyes. Su Xing was unprotected because of an injury to his body.
Su Xing silently cursed in his heart; the two of them could be considered a tragic duo, once again nursing their wounds together, and this time it was even more serious than before. The doctors here had no good solutions either. "You all rest for now. I’ll go take care of other matters. In about an hour, Xiao Yi should be done."
"Alright." Shen Jingyu didn’t mind; he could take this opportunity to recuperate with Su Xing, a perfect chance to deepen their bond. Otherwise, the events from yesterday would remain unresolved for quite some time!
As Rong Xigu reached the door, he added, "By the way, Su Xing's family and friends are with Mu Beiyao. Mu Beiming is taking care of them. They can’t come over here due to your situation; it’s better if they don’t see you two like this."
"Yes, thank you, Rong Changguan," Su Xing replied gratefully. After all, her family and friends were causing him some trouble here; as for Mu Beiming, he could be temporarily overlooked since he was Mu Beiyao's younger brother! That connection made it understandable.
Rong Xigu raised an eyebrow silently at Su Xing's address: "In front of your man, I wouldn’t dare call myself a commander."
"We're all friends; it's what we should do," he added.
Before Shen Jingyu could speak, Rong Xigu stepped out first. Outside the door, Rong Xigu's assistant Ji Chen was pacing like an ant on a hot stove while holding a phone.
"What’s going on?" Rong Xigu’s expression was as cold as the early winter sky.
Ji Chen rarely lost his composure but today he looked troubled. "Boss, your grandfather is calling. Miss Lu Xiangyi wants to speak with you in your office about your engagement and wants to visit you in the military."
Rong Xigu snorted coldly: "Visit me?" At seventeen, he had left her to join the army, and since then Lu Xiangyi had avoided him for eleven years! Her temper was fiercer than the heavens; could she really think of coming to see him?
