Not well behaved

Chapter 35: Can’t this life still be mine?
When Cheng Rang woke up, she felt sore all over her body, especially her legs and head. She felt as if she had slept for a long time and had a big dream, but she didn't sleep well, and her brain was dizzy and swollen.

She saw a figure, Cheng Rang squinted his eyes, it was Chen Zhun who was standing at the door making a phone call, Cheng Rang waved, Chen Zhun hung up the phone and walked towards her quickly.

Chen Zhun looked at her and asked. "Are you awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Cheng Rang sat up with difficulty, shook his head, and spat out a few words with a dry throat. "It's okay."

She glanced at her body and moved her legs. It hurt a lot, but it didn't seem to be anything serious. She looked at Chen Zhun, who had a heavy look on his face, and twitched the corner of his mouth, trying to make a joke. "How come I'm so lucky? I fell from such a height and nothing happened."

Chen Zhun's expression was a bit strange. The corners of his lips seemed to be moving, but they didn't seem to be moving. He seemed hesitant to speak. Cheng Rang noticed his strangeness and frowned. "What's wrong?"

Chen Zhun sighed, made up his mind, and watched Cheng Rang's every word. "It was the promise that saved you."

Cheng Rang's expression was dull for a few seconds, and she felt her head buzzing.

Cheng Rang went to pull Chen Zhun's clothes and became emotional. "Where is Promise? Where is he? How is he? Is everything okay?"

Chen Zhun was overwhelmed by her shaking, threw away Cheng Rang's arm and held her down. "Calm down first. Xu Nuo is in the ward now. Nothing serious happened. He suffered a little damage to his brain nerves and a fractured left leg. It's not life-threatening. He just hasn't woken up yet."

Cheng Rang broke away from his hand, and tears suddenly fell uncontrollably like broken beads.

She cried harder and harder. "Is this no big deal? What if something goes wrong with his leg?"

Chen Zhun looked at her, not knowing what to say. He had no accomplishments in comforting people, so he just kept patting her back silently.

Cheng Rang suddenly looked at him with big tearful eyes, and her voice also sounded crying. "Can I go see him?"

Chen Zhun shook his head, "Your current physical condition is not particularly good. The doctor said you were frightened and need to rest."

Cheng Rang continued to cry. "Please." Cheng Rang's words were a bit choppy, "Take me to see him, Chen Zhun, please."

Chen Zhun couldn't bear to see her like this, so he turned his head away. Chen Zhun couldn't bear to close his eyes, and then helped Cheng Rang up from the bed.

"I'll take you there. You're still injured on your leg. Walk slowly."

Cheng Rang stood up following Chen Zhun's hand, regardless of the pain in his legs, and nodded desperately.

Chen Zhun glanced at Cheng Rang's legs, which were almost unsteady due to pain, frowned calmly, and wrapped his arms around them.

Chen Zhun's tone was not very good. "Cheng Rang, let me tell you, you rely on this leg for food. If you don't recover well, the rest of your life will be ruined."

Cheng Rang still nodded desperately. "I know, but without him, I might be dead."

Chen Zhun ignored her and just helped her move forward.

Like Qi Mu, Chen Zhun felt that Cheng Rang felt the same way.

When she first met Cheng Rang, she felt that Cheng Rang was so confident that he was a bit arrogant. At that time, Cheng Rang won her over with his eyes shining, and then forced him to apologize.

This is also why he chose to give Cheng Rang a hand when Cheng Rang was in such a rare moment, because Cheng Rang had many well-known criticisms. She was ambitious, selfish, and regarded others as stones under her feet. Chen Zhun liked them all.

But once she encounters a promise, her excellent qualities of selfishness, indifference, and being willing to do anything for others are gone.

Chen Zhun took her to the promised ward.

Xu Nuo was lying on the luxurious single bed, with all kinds of instruments on his body, and his eyes were closed tightly, as if he was having a wonderful dream. Cheng Rang looked at such promise, and his tears were like a flood bursting from the embankment.

Chen Zhun took her over. "I'll ask someone to bring you a bed later. Don't make too much noise. Don't worry. I've found the best orthopedic surgeon for Xu Nuo. His legs will be fine."

Cheng Rang just nodded numbly, then sat down beside Xu Nuo's bed.

The door suddenly opened, and the person who came in was Qi Mu. Qi Mu was upset for no reason when he saw Cheng Rang and Chen Zhun.

Qi Mu's face was ugly and his voice was cold. "Cheng Rang, you are so good, why does Arnold do nothing good when he meets you?"

Qi Mu used to be very supportive of Xu Nuo and Cheng Rang, because only by her side could Xu Nuo be like a normal person with emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy. However, in the few days they got together, Xu Nuo came again and again. He took a risk for her, and this time he almost lost his life.

Xu Nuo will also start to doubt whether the two of them are really suitable.

No matter how special Xu Nuo is, he is just a mortal in this world. Xu Nuo doesn't care about anything because he loves Cheng Rang, but he doesn't love Cheng Rang.

Ordinary people like them can't stand this.Chen Zhun listened but was unhappy. "What do you think she was doing? Last time in the desert, without your kind of thing, what kind of promise can she make?"

No matter what the truth is, in the final analysis, people always protect their shortcomings. Chen Zhun treats Cheng Rang just like Qi Mu treats Xu Nuo.

Qi Mu also looked at him with a sullen face. "That incident was indeed caused by me. You can let me sacrifice my life to compensate her, but what does it have to do with our Arnold? If she hadn't gone out for a walk in the middle of the night."

"enough."

Cheng Rang closed his eyes and interrupted them. Cheng Rang's brows furrowed into a small hill and he spoke coldly. "Qi Mu, we will handle the matter between Xu Nuo and I ourselves. There is no need for you to step in here. My fault will be settled after Xu Nuo wakes up, okay?"

Qi Mu opened his mouth, struggled for a long time, and finally said only one sentence. "Cheng Rang, you'd better have a conscience."

Then he left the ward.

Chen Zhun originally wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say. He gave instructions to the nurse, and Chen Zhun left.

Cheng Rang held Xu Nuo's hand and felt completely empty. She didn't know what to think.

She was angry, and the real reason why she was angry was because what Saiki said was true.

Xu Nuo did not do anything good once he met her.

In such a short journey of life, she already owed too many promises.

Cheng Rang didn't know how much time had passed. She was too tired, physically and mentally exhausted. Instead of going to sleep in the newly moved bed, she lay down next to Xu Nuo's bed.

She couldn't remember a word Chen Zhun said.

It doesn't matter whether she's recovering well or not, she just wants to promise that the first thing she sees when she opens her eyes is her.

When Xu Nuo opened his eyes, he felt a heartbreaking pain in his leg. The pain was so painful that he almost fainted again. At the same time, he felt his arms were numb.

A little girl lay on his hand, completely ignoring the feeling of his hand.

Xu Nuo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Cheng Rang was fine.

He moved his fingers, trying to regain his senses, but the little girl in front of him seemed to sense something and started to rub himself.

The little girl looked at him doubtfully, her eyes still a little swollen.

Cheng Rang is so rare and cute.

Suddenly, Cheng Rang's tears began to roll down involuntarily again.

Xu Nuo was stunned by her crying and reached out to wipe her tears. "Why are you crying again? Why do you cry so much?"

Cheng Rang didn't speak and just kept crying.

In fact, Cheng Rang never cried, but when she met Xu Nuo, her tear ducts seemed to be particularly developed, and the few tears she had over the years were all given to Xu Nuo.

Fortunately, every tear she shed hit Xu Nuo's heart impartially.

Cheng Rang was so out of breath from crying that he was trembling a little when he spoke. "Promise...can you not be involved in life and death as soon as we meet?"

Cheng Rang was really too scared. Since their reunion, Cheng Rang had never seen Xu Nuo inside, but every time they met, it seemed that Xu Nuo was pulling her back from the gate of hell.

He is like the kind of savior described in movies and TV shows, who comes to save her from dire straits every time.

And she is just a useless vase, unable to do anything.

Xu Nuo looked at Cheng Rang. At this time, the cunning in Cheng Rang's eyes was gone, and the mysterious disguise of protection was also gone. He looked soft and weak.

He suddenly laughed and rubbed Cheng Rang's head.

"Yes, then can you please let me worry less and cherish my life? I have saved you so many times, can't this life still be mine?"
