Unforgettable first love: warmth stays in the left atrium

Chapter 9 Silent is better than sound

How about a deep kiss with your lover instead of talking? This signal is better than sound, and there is no need to decode it when you appreciate it
She had already heard from the doctor that he was seriously injured, with internal hemorrhage in his spleen, three broken sternum ribs, a comminuted fracture of his left leg, and a bloody hole in the back of his head due to a fall from a high altitude building. He even went into shock before.

Without him, she didn't even know if she would be alive now, not to mention that her whole body was just some skin trauma and a slight concussion except for a broken right ankle.

It was him, who could not wait for the police to arrive alone to save her; it was him, who used himself as a cushion under her body, and used his limit to protect her from harm as much as possible; it was him, who let her know that she was To love him so much—when he fell on the awning and he stopped responding, her heart seemed to stop beating in an instant.

But more shocking.

Gazing at the lifeless handsome face on the hospital bed, suddenly the previous determination and doubts were shaken, and the previous sullenness and determination were also shaken.Sheng Xia asked herself in her heart: Does Gu Yingning really not love you?But if that's the case, why does he appear again and again when you are in crisis?Why did he sacrifice his life to save her like this?
She will be desperate, but only for those she loves deeply.

Thinking of this, she finally couldn't help opening her mouth, her voice hoarse: "Gu Yingning... Gu Yingning, wake up, tell me what do you mean to me?"

Naturally, he didn't open his eyes, let alone answer her.The response to Midsummer is still "Didi"

The sound of the heartbeat detector, not in a hurry.

He was infusion, with a needle inserted in his hand, so Sheng Xia carefully took his hand and placed it between his palms.Gu Yingning's fingers have always had sharp joints, but they have never been so pale, they are so fragile that they will break if she bends them lightly.But it was also these hands that once held her hand tightly when she got lost at night, the temperature and strength soothed Sheng Xia's original panic and anxiety, because as long as she was with him, as long as she followed him, Go, even to the end of the universe, she is not afraid.

Looking at his lifeless face, Sheng Xia suddenly got angry from nowhere, still holding him with one hand, but gently patted his cheek several times with the other: "You said don't let me get rid of it so easily. You, you said it yourself. Gu Yingning, if you lie here until you wake up, I will find someone to marry in the next second!"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, as if even his past threats had turned into honey.It turned out that she loved him more than she thought.

Tears trickled down, finally unable to sob silently like before.Several big tears dripped onto Gu Yingning's closed eyes, and when they seeped into his long and curled eyelashes, the eyelashes trembled slightly, Sheng Xia almost thought that he was about to wake up.She held her breath and opened her eyes wide, but it didn't take long for her to realize that it was just her own illusion.

Choking, she wiped her tears vigorously, and said bitterly: "I will do what I say, and I will find someone to marry later, who will keep you awake!"

"you dare……"

All of a sudden, a voice that was as airy as a silk rang in Sheng Xia's ears, so soft that Sheng Xia even thought he had heard it wrong.She held her breath again, staring intently at the face in front of her.But this time, she found that it was no longer an illusion.

Gu Yingning struggled to open her eyes.Even though his eyelids seem to weigh a thousand pounds, he still exerted all his strength to try to stare at Sheng Xia: "You marry... I will... grab the marriage!"

Even though it was difficult to open his mouth, he tried his best to say such a sentence, Sheng Xia couldn't help but burst out laughing.Laughing and laughing, but the tears are also pouring down.

She covered her mouth with her hands, not wanting him to hear her crying, but a few seconds later she suddenly stood up in a hurry and desperately pressed the red button on his bedside.

The doctor and nurse ran in almost in a second, and asked nervously, "What's wrong with the patient?"

She looked back at Zhou Jia'an, the phrase "he's awake" was clearly in her throat, but it seemed to be stuck, her trembling lips could not make a sound, except for the suppressed sobs.

Unable to speak, Sheng Xia was anxious. Fortunately, Zhou Jia'an saw Gu Yingning's tired eyes at a glance, and immediately said to the nurse excitedly: "The patient is awake! Hurry up, get the things ready for the patient to examine!"

Sheng Xia didn't go out, she pushed the wheelchair into the corner of the ward, watched Zhou Jia'an and the nurses come in and out to conduct a comprehensive examination for Gu Yingning, and found that she had never been so grateful to the doctor like now.

When she stood up suddenly, she had long forgotten about the fracture of her right ankle. Now that she regained consciousness, Sheng Xia slowly felt the pain at the fracture.But she didn't want to make a sound, because she didn't want to leave here.She never knew that one day she would thank God so devoutly because Gu Yingning opened her eyes.Originally, opening one's eyes was such a simple and natural thing.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Jia'an had already left, and only one nurse was left to give Gu Yingning another injection and infusion.Sheng Xia naturally didn't notice when Tan Jing came in, but suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ears.

Looking at Gu Yingning, Tan Jing was dumbfounded: "I'm convinced, it turns out that the power of love can really be so great... Sister Ming'er also wants to find someone to fall in love with and experience it."

Sheng Xia gently pushed the wheelchair over, and stopped on the side of Gu Yingning's hand that was not dripped.She didn't speak, maybe she couldn't speak, or she didn't want to break the peace of this moment.

She just stared fixedly at the still pale face on the hospital bed, but blinked once for a long, long time.

She wanted to look at him, but she couldn't bear to blink.

In the end, it was Gu Yingning who spoke first, and said with some difficulty: "I don't allow...you marry someone else."

Sheng Xia didn't return to him, and still looked at him steadfastly, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Time passed by second by second, Sheng Xia still didn't speak, Gu Yingning was a little anxious, panting slightly and said hurriedly: "I said..."

This time, she interrupted him.She finally smiled and said: "You are fine, I will not marry."

With her words, Gu Yingning was relieved.So he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and there seemed to be a little more energy between his brows.

Knowing that he had broken three sternum ribs but still made him anxious, Sheng Xia suddenly felt a little guilty for not speaking just now.Gently holding his hand, she said softly, "Go to sleep, I'll be here with you."

Gu Yingning knew that she was actually very tired, and the haggardness on that face was clearly written.

But in the end he didn't say anything, just closed his eyes obediently.He thought, let them obey each other.

When Gu Yingning woke up again, Sheng Xia was still there.

This time he couldn't bear it, and said, "Hurry up and go back to rest."

Sheng Xia shook her head: "Wait a minute, drink this bowl of porridge first."

It was only then that Gu Yingning saw that she was holding a thermos bucket in her arms, with a yellow body and two mandarin ducks playing in the water, one bent its neck and the other cuddled.

Sheng Xia unscrewed the lid of the insulated bucket and said: "Xiao Jingzi boiled this. The doctor said that you can eat some liquid food now, so I asked her to boil some."

The porridge was still boiling hot, and midsummer scooped it into a bowl with a spoon, and it was steaming all of a sudden.She suddenly remembered that morning when he came out of the kitchen with porridge and side dishes.The movements of his hands paused for a second, and Sheng Xia shook the memory of the unhappy breakup to the back of his mind, then turned his head and asked him: "Drink half a bowl first, okay?"

After shaking the upper side of the hospital bed, Gu Yingning sat up.Seeing Sheng Xia unskillfully operating the wheelchair, Gu Yingning couldn't bear it: "Sheng Xia, why don't you call a nurse."

She just retreated to his side, looked at him seriously, and said, "I want to take care of you myself."

She was naturally very tired, and naturally wanted to rest, but what she wanted to do more was to take care of him with her own hands.

Talking to him, feeding him porridge, wiping his mouth, such ordinary things seem so precious now.Maybe it was because of such a thrilling life-and-death experience that she didn't want to quarrel with her heart anymore.

Life is so fragile, she doesn't want to waste even a second.

Sheng Xia didn't know who other than Gu Yingning would be so desperate to save herself like him.Perhaps the deeper reason is that he sacrificed his life to save her heart, which already loved him very much, and could no longer hide it.She didn't think about the fierce quarrel they had before, didn't think about what the purpose of him approaching her in the first place, and didn't think about whether her actions were showing weakness, she just wanted to obey the most sincere thoughts in her heart.

Therefore, Sheng Xia has never spoken to Gu Yingning so gently and peacefully as at this moment.

Although he was weak, he was sober, and naturally felt the difference in her.

Gu Yingning's brows were rarely fully stretched, and she asked, "Where's the porridge? Have you waited for so long and still haven't brought it to your mouth?"

She couldn't help laughing: "He always looks like a young master." Even though he said so, Sheng Xia still picked up a bowl, scooped up a spoon, blew gently, and then tried the temperature before bringing it to his mouth.

It is said to be porridge, but it is actually more like rice soup.Watching Gu Yingning swallow slowly, she asked him: "Is it hot?" He shook his head, so she scooped up the second spoonful, blew it as before, and brought it to his mouth, with a soft smile on the corner of her mouth .

Gu Yingning looked at her with a vivid temperature in his eyes.

No one spoke anymore, only the sound of bowls and spoons colliding and swallowing in the huge ward.

There is a crystal vase on the cabinet on the right side of the hospital bed, and the flowers in it were just planted by Tan Jing not long ago.

Eleven champagne roses, so soft and creamy, so fragrant.

When Xu Yihui came at noon the next day, Sheng Xia had just made a record with the police.Sheng Xia hesitated at first, wondering if she should tell the police what Pei Jin said about "injustice", but in the end she said it anyway.The forensic doctor had identified Pei Jin's body, so Gu Zitang's case was dismissed.

Xu Yihui took a large bouquet of lilies, stood still in front of Sheng Xia's hospital bed, and said with a smile: "It really is the Sheng Xia I knew, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are already so lively."

When Sheng Xia raised her eyes, she saw Xu Yihui wearing a white cotton shirt, looking at her with such a warm smile just like when they first met.She also laughed and said, "You still laugh at me even though you know I can't walk anymore."

While talking, Tan Jing just pushed the door open, and when she heard Sheng Xia's words, she immediately interjected and said, "Huh, I can't even walk, and I still don't forget to take care of the guy next door!" When she pushed the door, she didn't know that Xu Yihui was also in the ward. It was only after falling that he saw his back, Tan Jing's face froze immediately, her face flushed instantly, and she faltered and said with some embarrassment: "Yihui, you are here, I just saw you... What I said just now meant... ..."

Seeing that Tan Jing's face was flushed, Xu Yihui followed her words and said, "Mr. Gu is next door?"

Tan Jing nodded: "I just woke up last night."

Xu Yihui said again: "Just wake up."

Sheng Xia smiled: "Are you guys deciding to ignore me as a patient and just talk?"

Tan Jing's embarrassment slowly faded away at this time, thinking that Xu Yihui had also heard the news about Gu Yingning, she was as straightforward as usual: "That's right, you can go to the next door to see Mr. .”

Sheng Xia couldn't laugh or cry: "Little Jingzi, you insist on..."

Last night she ignored Gu Yingning to take care of her, Tan Jing complained quite a bit, firstly, she herself was injured after all, and secondly, Tan Jing was still very angry because of Gu Yingning's remorse.Sheng Xia knew that Tan Jing was worried about herself, but there was nothing she could do.It was Xu Yihui who relieved Sheng Xia: "Actually, it's thanks to Mr. Gu this time, otherwise..." He didn't continue, but the knuckles of his hand holding the railing at the end of the bed turned white, and his lips suddenly tightened.

He just stared at her so intensely, with such nervousness, earnestness and forbearance, that Sheng Xia couldn't help leaning forward slightly, took the initiative to hold his hand, tried to force a smile, and said: "Yihui, look , I am well in front of you, and I am not missing any arms or legs, so don't think about those things anymore, okay?"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Yihui finally couldn't bear it, and hugged Shengxia forcefully.He wanted to rub her into his bones, but he was afraid of hurting her, so he became himself in fear.

Gently resting his chin on the top of Sheng Xia's hair, Xu Yihui stroked Sheng Xia's back, his voice could not stop sobbing: "Axia... Axia, it turns out that I haven't done enough... Finally, I'm on the verge of death I got up and found you again, I absolutely, absolutely will not let the shadow of death separate us..."

Sheng Xia could feel Xu Yihui's stiff back trembling slightly, and couldn't help feeling moved and sour, so he stretched out his arms and hugged him back.She remembered that there was a summer day when the sun was fierce and sultry. She probably walked under the bright sun for too long, and suddenly she fell into darkness.

When he woke up again, still dizzy, Sheng Xia opened his heavy eyelids, and what he saw was Xu Yihui's anxious and worried face.Seeing Sheng Xia raise her weak arm, Xu Yihui stood up quickly after being dazed for a second, and rushed to her bedside: "A Xia, are you awake?"

Sheng Xia was stunned for a few seconds before regaining her sanity, glanced at the white eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Yihui, am I suffering from heat stroke?" As she spoke, she struggled to sit up .Just as soon as he sat up, he fell into a hot chest.Xu Yihui's voice was ecstatic and relaxed, but there was still a trace of fear, and it was not at all warm as usual.

He kept repeating: "Suddenly passed out on the street, you scared me to death, Axia..."

Four years apart, the same tense hug, the same two people, the difference is the joke of time.In Xu Yihui's arms, there is the warm smell of the sun, the fresh scent of washing powder, and his own kind and familiar smell. In a trance, Midsummer feels as if he has returned to the summer of that year. Xu Yihui has not had a car accident yet, and she is still there. Without meeting Gu Yingning, everything is still the most innocent at first.

"Yihui," she said, her voice was a bit difficult, "I'm sorry for scaring you."

Tan Jing had already closed the door gently and left. This is a time of nostalgia for Sheng Xia and Xu Yihui.

As soon as he went out, he saw Gu Yingning's ward, and the two policemen who came to take notes seemed to have reached the end.Tan Jing wandered around the corridor for a while, nodded to the policeman who was about to leave after finishing the record, and met Gu Yingning's gaze in the ward, Tan Jing paused for two seconds, then walked towards the ward went in.

"Gu Yingning, for the sake of you saving Xiao Xia, I will put aside the matter of your remorse and don't bother with you." Tan Jing opened her mouth, bluntly and unceremoniously.

It's rare for someone to speak to him with such open teeth and claws, but Gu Yingning was not unhappy at all.She is Sheng Xia's best friend, and she is so protective of Sheng Xia, so he slightly softened the lines of his face, but his tone was still very light: "If I don't save Sheng Xia, who else can I save?"

The determination and no hesitation in Gu Yingning's words made Tan Jing puzzled.She frowned and asked:
"I'm talking about Gu Yingning, it doesn't look like your attitude towards our family's Xiaoxia is shallow...Then why did you regret your marriage last time?"

Glancing at Tan Jing, Gu Yingning said indifferently: "Miss Tan, I probably don't need to report my private affairs with Sheng Xia to you."

Originally, Tan Jing's attitude had softened a bit, but when she heard Gu Yingning's words, her anger "cracked"

All of them came up again.With her arms crossed, Tan Jing glanced at the various tubes inserted into Gu Yingning's body, and snorted, "Do you know why I came out? Xiao Xia and Xu Yihui are in there reminiscing about the past! As a sensible friend, I naturally don't bother them." She deliberately "reminisces about the past"

The two words were bitten hard, and Gu Yingning's face sank as expected.

But Tan Jing didn't intend to stop talking, she blew on the ashes from her nails, and continued:
"If it wasn't for the car accident back then, our Xiaoxia and Xu Yihui would have been married long ago. Why would it be your turn to spoil it? But now, since Xu Yihui is back, you can also retire, General Manager Gu."

Looking at Gu Yingning's uncertain face, Tan Jing was in an extremely good mood, she glanced at him and was about to turn and leave.Unexpectedly, Tan Jing was taken aback by this turn around.

"Xiao Xia! Since when are you at the door..."

Sheng Xia, who was sitting in a wheelchair, stared sideways at Tan Jing without saying a word.Tan Jing knew that this was going to be bad, her eyes turned to Xu Yihui who was behind Sheng Xia, and she hurriedly said: "Yihui, I happen to be going out to buy some fruit, let's go, let's go with my sister!"

After saying that, she dragged Xu Yihui away involuntarily.
