Not long after waking up, Cheng Jiu took a nap again. In the end, he wouldn't let Xin Gan leave, holding her wrist. Even when he was asleep, he wouldn't let her go.
Such childish behavior is really childish.
Mrs. Cheng had originally intended to stay in the hospital to see Cheng Jiu for a while longer, but Cheng Hui, being mischievous, said not to disturb the two of them. Cheng Jiu had just woken up and probably also wanted to stay with Xin Gan for a while longer.
Cheng Jiu was able to wake up, which means his recovery is going well. He will take good care of himself and stay in the hospital for the time being.
Xin Gan has been coming home very late these days. Xin's mother thought she must be staying at the hospital with Cheng Jiu, so she didn't say anything. However, worried that she might come back too late at night, Xin's mother still said a few words to her, meaning that she shouldn't come home too late and stay at the hospital for so long, which would disturb Cheng Jiu's rest.
Xin Gan didn't want to come home too late either. It was just that Cheng Jiu's condition wasn't particularly good. It should be a side effect. He would feel dizzy and there were still some wounds on his body that hadn't healed. Every time the dressing was changed, Xin Gan didn't dare to look and waited outside the ward.
After he had changed his medicine, Xin Gan entered the ward. He got dressed and sat down, asking her, "I almost forgot to ask you something. You're not at work?"
She used to work at Song Chen's company. Because he was in a coma, she never went to work and kept asking for leave, which was not good. So she told Song Chen to quit her job because she didn't know when he would wake up.
Originally, going to work at Song Chen's place was not her intention. Besides, there were some conflicts with her colleagues at Song Chen's company. The workplace is rather complicated. She didn't want to provoke others, but it didn't prevent them from causing her trouble.
Xin Gan said, "I didn't go."
Because of me?
"Um." She simply admitted it. Being coy and evasive was not acceptable. Being seen through by him made her even more embarrassed.
Cheng Jiu waved at her again and said, "Come here. Standing so far away, are you so afraid of me?"
Xin Gan shook his head and took a few closer steps.
Cheng Jiu was powerless at this moment. Even if he really wanted to do something, he couldn't do it.
Cheng Jiu asked her, "Does your stomach still hurt?"
It doesn't hurt anymore. It only hurt during the first few days. It gets better after a while, but this time the pain is more severe than the previous ones. Maybe it's due to not getting enough rest and having an irregular diet recently.
Cheng Jiu asked the nurse from the side how long Xin Gan had stayed every day during his coma. If he had asked Xin Gan, he would most likely not have told him.
After the nurse explained the situation, she also said, "There were several times when I saw her almost crying. I was really worried about you."
If I weren't really worried, I wouldn't be so eager to stay by my side all day long.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jiu couldn't help but smile and said to her, "When I woke up that day, I was clearly peeping from the door of the ward. Why didn't I come in?"
Xin Gan was surprised: "Did you see me?"
If I didn't see you, would I know you were hiding at the door?
Xin Gan was taken aback again: "With so many people around, I thought you wouldn't notice me."
Cheng Jiu smiled but said nothing.
She hid at the door of the ward, not daring to come in. How could he not notice? As long as he was willing, he could find out.
...
Cheng Jiu talked to Meng Shenchang on the phone and said that he had woken up. They chatted for a long time. The nurse brought the medicine and reminded him to take it before hanging up the phone.
He Chuan came to the hospital to visit him at around seven in the evening. As soon as they met, he would tease him. Now that Xin Gan was out and not in the ward, he spoke without restraint and just blurted it out.
"Someone has been taking care of you so closely and willingly for so long. Why don't you take some concrete actions?" "
What action?
"Get married and get married. If it's legal earlier, I won't have to worry about her running away with someone else."
He Chuan said it was easy, but when it came to getting the marriage certificate, it was very difficult.
Before Xin Gan came back, He Chuan left the door open and said, "During the time you weren't awake, Xin Gan was quite sad. It's obvious that she has feelings for you, but she just doesn't understand why you two are still so awkward. I think her attitude towards you isn't particularly enthusiastic. Did you provoke her again?"
Cheng Jiu changed the subject: "Are there any cigarettes?"
"Looking for death? Why smoke?"
"Smell."
"Come on. I can't harm you. Just rest and recuperate. When you get better, no one can control you if you want to eat meat or do anything else." He Chuan smiled terribly and his tone was very ambiguous.
This is the inherent flaw of men.
His injury won't heal in a short time and he will have to stay in the hospital for some time.
He wanted to be discharged from the hospital. Just now, he told Director Meng that Director Meng had scolded him 250. How long had he just woken up? He was absolutely not allowed to be discharged until he was fully recovered.
When Xin Gan came back, He Chuan immediately shut up. Seeing the fruit in her hand, he realized that she had gone to buy some.
He Chuan didn't hold back either. He wiped his hands clean, took an orange and peeled it. While peeling, he asked Cheng Jiu, "Come to think of it, I haven't asked you yet when you'll be transferred back. I heard from Uncle Cheng that you have such a plan."
Xin Gan really had no idea about this. When she heard He Chuan bring it up, she was a bit distracted.
Cheng Jiu glanced at Xin Gan's reaction, but couldn't tell any emotion. It seemed that she hadn't heard.
Cheng Jiu said, "Let's talk about it later. It's not the right time yet."
"Then you're going back after your injury has healed?" "
"Um." Cheng Jiu's response was simple. As for other details, he didn't elaborate further.
He Chuan didn't want to ask any more questions and just reminded, "Be careful."
After He Chuan left, Xin Gan hesitated for a few minutes and still asked him, "Is your accident this time related to the one we had on the plateau before?"
It's no wonder she would think of it.
Cheng Jiu evaded the key point and said, "One point."
What he doesn't want to say and will definitely not say.
Xin Gan sighed in his heart and asked softly, "Have you ever been hurt before?"
"Yes." Big and small, there are scars on everyone's body to some extent. They are all flesh and skin, and no one can avoid getting hurt.
For such a thing, Cheng Jiu didn't need to hide it from her and say, "Scared?"
Xin Gan remained silent, placed the peeled orange on the table, looked into his eyes and said seriously, "I'm afraid. How could I not be afraid?" I just hope that when you have similar things in the future, you will be more careful.
Cheng Jiu sat half down, listened attentively, nodded, and then called her, "Come here."
What?
The wound on my back is a bit itchy. Please take a look for me.
Xin Gan didn't think much and immediately stepped forward, looking at him with a worried expression, wanting to check the wound on his back.
She wasn't on guard either. When she came over, Cheng Jiu held her wrist and pulled her into his arms. His arm only had minor injuries, not his hand. After waking up, he wouldn't need an intravenous drip. There was no residual needle on the back of his hand, so he could hold her tightly.
Xin Gan was so frightened that she let out a cry and was forced to rest her hands on his thighs, not daring to struggle hard for fear of accidentally hurting him.
Cheng Jiu, taking advantage of this, could act without restraint and was not afraid that she would be angry.
Xin Gan came to her senses and said nothing, nor did she resist. Instead, she was worried about the injuries on his body and whispered, "Let go first. I'm afraid I might hurt you."
Cheng Jiu didn't say a word, nor did he let go. His fingers were hooked around the back of her neck, his palm burning hot, making her ears start to turn red and hot. She didn't dare to look at him, yet he was still so close.
Cheng Jiu said, "Xin Gan, actually, I really want to do something. Now I want to give it a try. Is that okay?"
Xin Gan is not stupid. Once she understands his meaning, she... He didn't resist, but his eyes evaded him, not daring to look at him. He responded softly, "Sure, sure."
Upon receiving her reply, Cheng Jiuzhen smiled and lowered his head to kiss her.
Xin Gan had never actually asked for her opinion on a kiss before. Before she could think it through, her mind gradually went blank and she was in a daze. To cooperate with him, she maintained a posture of bending over with both hands for a long time. Her neck was sore.
Xin Gan really doesn't understand. She has never had a boyfriend or received a kiss. Although she knows a little about the theoretical knowledge, the practical application is completely different from the theoretical knowledge.
After a minute or two, Cheng Jiu finally let her go. Their foreheads touched each other, and his lips turned pale as he said, "Are you so well-behaved?"
Xin Gan slightly pushed him away, stood up straight and calmed her mind.
Cheng Jiu stared at her and said, "Can it be advanced by half a year? I don't want to wait anymore."
Xin Gan pursed her lips, her cheeks flushed. "Then do you want to hear me talk about He Cheng? Wait until I'm done before you make a decision."
Cheng Jiu didn't expect her to confess in person. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Tell me."
Xin Gan was unsure. When it came to the matter of He Cheng, she wasn't sure if Cheng Jiu would mind. Maybe every man would mind to some extent. This was related to her reputation.
It is better for her to say it now than for him to know about it from others.
After all, it was she who confessed. She made it clear and didn't hide it from him.
