Su Xing squinted and said, "That day he received a call from someone who wanted to protect me. Moreover, it seems he fought with you because he wanted to take me away. So, do you think it could be that Lawrence?"
Su Xing tentatively asked, and from Shen Jingyu's eyes, she received confirmation. Shen Jingyu indeed suspected Zhan Ying. This Xiao Jie was involved in organ trafficking; he needed a market and transportation, which was extremely difficult under the current strict control. Unless he had some powerful backing.
"Don't you have many things to do? You shouldn't be spending all your time with me," Su Xing said. She knew that these past two days, Shen Jingyu had been busy after she fell asleep. Every time Rong Xigu came to him with matters to discuss, he would coldly refuse.
Once, Su Xing actually overheard that Shen Lao's side was pressuring Shen Jingyu, needing him to personally go to the front lines to make decisions on many issues. He had his own mission and shouldn’t waste it all on her.
However, Shen Jingyu seemed completely unconcerned: "You just focus on taking care of yourself. I’ll muddle through today; I can still spare time for you. Otherwise, what difference would it make if I left you behind?"
Su Xing smiled gently: "I never thought of binding you to my side. In fact, five years ago, we had no conflicts at all. There was no beginning mentioned, let alone an end."
Shen Jingyu's voice tightened: "But we ultimately missed those five years. Do you think I don’t know how hard it has been for you? Have you ever thought about how much I've suffered?"
Shen Jingyu guessed that Su Xing's health had deteriorated, but no one dared to tell him the truth. In this situation, he couldn't abandon her again. Heaven knows how long he would be gone; how would she endure each day in pain?
Su Xing smiled in relief: "Since you know how much I've missed you, then I have no regrets. But since you've chosen this mission and have come this far, many people are waiting for your orders; you shouldn't dwell too much on personal feelings."
As Su Xing slowly placed her hand over his on the table, she looked into Shen Jingyu's bitter eyes. "Do what you need to do. I promise you that I won't ask about your return; I'll wait for you. No matter when it is, even if I have to wait until the end of time, I promise."
"In this moment, I have nothing to feel guilty about. I am willing to support you in anything you want or need to do. You once said that you share half of your glory with me. Then I will look forward to the day when you can illuminate my future."
"You have to believe that I am indestructible, Su Xing. I will hold on for you. I won’t let Shen Jingyu make me say that word."
He leaned in, his emotions surging as he kissed her lips. After waiting for him for five long days, she was still willing to wait for him.
Su Xing was aware of her own condition, but she encouraged Shen Jingyu to be at ease, also considering the bigger picture. "I won’t let you down; you must not let my faith collapse. No matter the circumstances, even if it’s just a breath, we must stay in each other’s embrace."
The sadness and worry between them were both a source of strength and a cage.
Shen Jingyu released her lips, lowering his head with a frown before turning away.
Su Xing looked down with a faint smile as tears fell from her eyes, landing on the pristine white quilt, mingling with the tear he had shed.
Shen Jingyu left with his team, and no one knew where he had gone.
Su Xing had met Rong Xigu and Qin Yi, but they all shared an unspoken understanding and did not ask too many questions.
Under Qin Yi's care, Su Xing's health gradually improved.
Shen Jingyu missed Su Xing's episode of Qing Sha illness, but inadvertently, Qin Yi discovered that the toxins in Su Xing's body were somehow related to the Qing Sha.
Qin Yi began his relentless research once again.
A week after Shen Jingyu left, Su Xing expressed her desire to leave the unit and return home to recuperate.
Rong Xigu hesitated for a moment.
"Shen Jingyu hasn’t returned yet; if I wait another five days, do you want me to stay here for five or ten more?" Su Xing said. "I have my own life. The infirmary shouldn’t occupy me like this."
"I’m recovering well now; there’s no need for me to waste time here."
Finally, Rong Xigu relented and allowed her to leave.
Mu Beiyao came to pick her up, and Su Xing requested that she take her back to Xing Yu Mansion.
Throughout the journey, Su Xing deliberately kept her distance from Mu Beiyao.
Mu Beiyao wanted to give her a comforting hug but was completely rejected.
"Bao Er, something is off with you. What’s going on? Aren’t you even going to let me hug you?"
Su Xing explained, "I just got out of the hospital; there are too many germs. Please keep your distance for a while. Once Qin Yi confirms that those viruses have disappeared from my body, we can interact again."
"I won’t be going home for now either. I’ve already informed my mom; there’s a pregnant woman at home who is weak."
"Is it really that serious? Am I afraid of this? We’ve both faced COVID together; what else can we not handle?"
Back then, they had been confined at work for over a month, comforting each other every day. Whoever was sick took care of the other without fear!
However, this time Su Xing dared not be careless.
She always felt a sense of weakness in her body. She could sense that every time Qin Yi drew her blood and reviewed the reports, his emotions were tightly wound.
Neither of them spoke about it, but she just knew that something was wrong with her health. This included Shen Jingyu's reactions before he left. She couldn't completely let down her guard.
Where was Xiang Yi? Why hadn’t that girl come to pick her up? It was quite dramatic that Lu Xiangyi had returned for her, yet it had been over a week and she still hadn’t seen a trace of her.
Speaking of her, Mu Beiyao found it amusing: "Haha, she’s already joined the army!" This sister of hers had gone home to find her father the day she learned about the incident. Then something happened; she had set aside more than ten childhood engagements, and now the army was insisting on seeing her. Yet today, they still hadn’t met.
Just as Mu Beiyao was speaking, their sister group chat buzzed with news about Lu Xiangyi, who had been missing for several days.
"Sisters, I’m about to find the star! I’ll send you a photo of her lying weakly in the hospital bed soon!"
Mu Beiyao replied:
Qin Bing: "Are you sure you’re not being played? It’s been nine days; can you even see her? Have you asked if she’s been discharged?"
Lu Xiangyi confidently responded: "Hmph! That deadbeat man better not dare to deceive me a second time; if he does, I’ll never see him again in this lifetime!"
Su Xing raised an eyebrow: "Such deep resentment? Which hero has such a connection with you?"
Qin Bing: "I’m curious!"
Mu Beiyao: "Not curious? The drama must be just as juicy as Su Xing and Shen Jingyu's."
Sooner or later, they would get to see her show!
Lu Xiangyi interrupted: "Ahem! Silence! I’m at the door of my hospital room!"
The accompanying picture indeed showed the corridor where Su Xing had stayed in the hospital. But in her photo, there seemed to be a familiar shadow in the glass of the door.
Rong Xigu? Did these two have a past together? Among all the men with rules, she had encountered one who was the least disciplined and didn’t like being tied down.
