The bodyguard at the door saw Shen Lingge return and helped him open the door.
As soon as Shen Lingge entered the door, he saw Wen Xian, who had originally been lying on the bed, now opening her misty eyes looking left and right, as if she was looking for him. Perhaps because she didn’t see him, she was a little unhappy, her eye rims already red.
He hurriedly closed the door and walked to the bedside. He had just bent down and had not yet picked her up when she first aggrievedly wrapped her arms around his neck.
Shen Lingge hugged Wen Xian and lightly patted her back, softly coaxing: “Xian Xian, what’s wrong? Is there anywhere that hurts?”
Wen Xian shook her head, not speaking.
After quite a while, she rubbed against his chin and softly said: “I had a nightmare. I woke up and didn’t see you.”
Shen Lingge hugged her and half lay down on the bed. After coaxing for quite a while, she finally eased up, but she still didn’t speak, just tightly hugging him, occasionally rubbing against his neck twice.
For a while, neither of them spoke. After a while, Shen Lingge finally lowered his eyes to look at Wen Xian and softly asked: “Xian Xian, what kind of nightmare did you have?”
Wen Xian muffledly said: “I dreamt that I fell off a cliff. In the dream it kept raining, I couldn’t see anything clearly. I kept looking for you, but I looked for a long time and couldn’t find you.”
Wen Xian didn’t know those people’s plans, but Shen Lingge had already learned about it from the police. Hearing this, his heart tightened.
Shen Lingge’s black eyes darkened slightly, hoarse voice comforting: “That was just a dream, Xian Xian don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Wen Xian had just wanted to say something when she saw on the small table by the bed there was a bag of pink cookies. From the outside one could see the shapes of those cookies — all small animal cookies.
She probingly asked: “Shen Lingge, these cookies, did you buy them for me?”
Shen Lingge turned his head and took that small bag of cookies. It was something he bought on his way back — all handmade low-sugar cookies. He opened the packaging bag and took one piece, feeding it to her mouth.
Wen Xian took a bite, there was almost no taste, only a very faint sweetness. She softly muttered: “I’m even more pitiful than Wen Xianxian, it already doesn’t eat these not-tasty cookies anymore.”
Shen Lingge: “……”
He said helplessly: “Tomorrow let Duoduo make some for you, but you can only eat a little.”
At nine o’clock, a nurse came in and told them that half an hour later they would come back to change Wen Xian’s medicine. Wen Xian immediately raised her eyes to look at Shen Lingge: “Gege, I want to take a bath.”
Shen Lingge knitted his brows thinking for a moment: “I’ll ask when Duoduo will arrive. There’s soup stewed at home, she said she’ll bring it over.”
Wen Xian nodded.
Duoduo arrived ten minutes later. As soon as she arrived, she was pulled by Wen Xian to take a bath. Taking the chance while Duoduo was watching her bathe, Wen Xian asked: “Duoduo, what’s wrong with Shen Lingge?”
She poked her head out from the shower room and asked: “You said to me this afternoon his mood wasn’t good, why was his mood bad?”
Duoduo’s mouth corner slightly twitched. What else could it be because of, of course because he was jealous. This afternoon when Qin Zan said those words, even though Shen Lingge didn’t say a single sentence, she and Xiao Song were about to be scared to death.
Afraid that in the next second the two of them would start fighting, but Shen Lingge ultimately didn’t do anything. He was blaming himself for not being able to protect Wen Xian well.
Duoduo secretly glanced at the door, confirmed the door was properly closed, then leaned close to Wen Xian’s side and softly said: “This afternoon that Qin Mister said a few words to Young Master, Young Master was already worried about you, now even more self-blaming.”
Duoduo paused for a moment, lightly coughed once and said: “Also… also there is…”
Wen Xian suspiciously said: “What else?”
Duoduo raised her hand to her mouth, she quietly said: “Young Master was jealous. When Young Master arrived at Mingshan, Qin Mister had already carried you down. At that time Qin Mister wasn’t willing to hand you over to Young Master, the two even deadlocked for a while.”
Wen Xian: “…Is it because of this that he is unhappy?”
Duoduo shook her head, she lightly sighed: “More is still because of self-blame, before you woke up, Young Master didn’t eat anything, also didn’t drink water. He was too worried about you.”
Wen Xian pursed her lips, did not speak.
After finishing bathing and blowing her hair, Wen Xian then obediently put on the hospital gown and went out. Originally she still wanted to struggle a bit to change into her own pajamas, but after hearing what Duoduo said, she felt she should be a little more well-behaved.
Not long after Wen Xian finished bathing, the nurse came to change her medicine. She took advantage of the moment when inside the curtain it was only her and the nurse, quietly asked in a low voice: “Nurse jiejie, when can I be discharged from the hospital?”
Upon hearing this, the nurse glanced at outside the curtain, she lifted her eyes to look at Wen Xian, also lowered her voice: “When you can be discharged depends on what your husband says, after tomorrow’s check-up, ask him.”
Wen Xian: “……”
The nurse finished changing Wen Xian’s medicine and then pulled open the curtain and left.
Shen Lingge sat down by the bedside, he looked at the little girl on the bed who seemed much more spirited and asked: “Hungry or not? Want to drink some soup?”
In the past Wen Xian would always struggle a bit, but tonight she very obediently nodded her head, then sat up and allowed Shen Lingge to feed her chicken soup.
Shen Lingge also rarely saw her this obedient, he raised his eyebrows and asked: “Just after taking a bath you become this obedient? Feed however much, drink however much?”
Wen Xian blinked her eyes, looked at him without speaking.
Shen Lingge couldn’t help but lean over and kiss her lip corner, he praised: “Xian Xian is so obedient.”
Wen Xian curved her brows and eyes in a smile.
…
10:30.
After Shen Lingge finished bathing he again watched Wen Xian brush her teeth, the two prepared to go to bed to sleep.
Wen Xian had just walked to the bedside and like at home wanted to pounce up, but just as she bent her waist she was hugged from behind at the waist by someone. Shen Lingge picked her up, gently placed her on the bed: “Pouncing up again later will hurt again.”
Wen Xian gave a small yawn, she patted the bed: “Quickly come to bed to sleep, how long have you not slept already.”
Only after turning off did Shen Lingge get on the bed and hug her into his arms, Wen Xian rested her head on his arm and adjusted her posture. After turning off the light the room was not in complete darkness, there was still faint light shining in through the glass on the door.
Wen Xian stuck her hand into the blanket to find his and only then asked: “Shen Lingge, today were you very worried?”
Shen Lingge lowered his head close to her hair, he did not answer her question, only in a low voice asked: “Xian Xian, on the airplane I was always waiting, do you know what I was waiting for?”
Wen Xian was startled: “What were you waiting for?”
Shen Lingge’s Adam’s apple slightly moved, his tone dry as he said: “I was waiting for you to bring me to your side.”
After Shen Lingge finished speaking Wen Xian fell into a long silence.
In that cold dark warehouse, did Wen Xian think about letting… letting Shen Lingge?
Actually, she had thought about it.
But different from before, she knew Shen Lingge was not completely created by her. He could not just vanish into thin air in front of everyone, that would be fatal for him.
Because no one would think to look at her, people would only think Shen Lingge was an abnormal person.
She could not let him be in danger just like that, so even if she was very afraid, she still could not do this.
Wen Xian bit her lip, she lightly answered him: “Shen Lingge, you know, I cannot do this.”
Shen Lingge counter-asked her: “Why can’t?”
Wen Xian stubbornly said: “Just can’t.”
After Wen Xian finished saying this sentence, Shen Lingge did not speak for a long time, Wen Xian also stayed silent.
Didn’t know how long passed before Shen Lingge then said: “Xian Xian, the things you are worried about, I don’t care about them. I promised you, I am your family, I will do my utmost to protect you.”
His voice low and deep: “You must remember, in my heart, you are more important than me.”
But Wen Xian did not want to hear him say this, she tightened the arms hugging him: “But I care. You and Yu are both my family, I cannot shift danger onto you, also cannot let others discover Yu’s existence.”
Shen Lingge slightly closed his eyes, he controlled his own emotions before opening his mouth: “No matter if it’s me, or Yu, neither of us is more important than you. The one you should care about most is yourself.”
His tone became a bit more urgent: “If this time Qin Zan didn’t hold Xu Chuwei, no one would know what would happen.”
Shen Lingge, afraid of scaring Wen Xian, did not continue to speak, his voice hoarse: “Xian Xian, I have no way to experience this kind of thing again. In the future, no matter when you need me, you can bring me to your side anytime.”
He said in a miserable way: “Count it as me begging you.”
Only after a long while did Wen Xian softly say: “Okay.”
Even though she said okay, but both she and Shen Lingge knew in their hearts, if this kind of thing happened again next time, she would still choose to face it herself, she would not use Yu to bring him back.
Shen Lingge lightly sighed once, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead: “Sleep.”
Hearing this, Wen Xian closed her eyes, not long after leaned on him and fell deeply asleep.
When she woke up again, it was already early morning, but as soon as she moved slightly, Shen Lingge immediately hugged her and asked: “What’s wrong? Is it hurting somewhere? Or is it dizzy again, wanting to vomit?”
Wen Xian rubbed her eyes, she asked somewhat dazedly: “Shen Lingge, you didn’t sleep?”
Shen Lingge did not respond to her words, only asked: “What’s wrong with you?”
Wen Xian softly replied to him: “I want to get up to go to the toilet.”
Only then did Shen Lingge let out a breath, he got up and carried her up, until carrying her to the washroom did he put her down: “I’m right at the door, if anything happens just call me.”
Wen Xian obediently nodded her head.
After she finished going to the toilet, she was again carried back by Shen Lingge, Wen Xian moved her own hand a bit, the injury on her hand was not very deep, when she tested it she did not use much strength.
Now it already didn’t hurt anymore, just her head was still a little dizzy.
After lying properly on the bed again, Wen Xian poked Shen Lingge’s chin and asked: “Why are you not sleeping? Duoduo told me, you haven’t slept since getting on the plane.”
Shen Lingge hugged her tightly, his voice hoarse: “Sleep, sleep now.”
At this time, Shen Lingge’s physical state was already very tired, but his nerves were still taut, but he was afraid if he fell asleep, when he woke up again he wouldn’t be able to find Wen Xian.
Wen Xian lifted her head and used her fingertip to touch his eyes: “You sleep now, after you fall asleep I’ll sleep.”
Under Wen Xian’s soft voice, Shen Lingge gradually fell asleep, but his hand still tightly held her. As long as Wen Xian moved slightly, he would wake up startled, to confirm whether she was still there.
Wen Xian kissed him with heartache, after a long while she lay on his chest and softly apologized: “Shen Lingge, I’m sorry. Making you worry about me like this, it’s me being careless.”
She didn’t know whether Shen Lingge heard it or not, only the breathing on top of her head was slightly deep.
He seemed to be asleep.
After night passes, dawn will arrive.
For the vast majority of people, no matter how difficult the days are, the sun will always rise as usual, but there is also a small portion of people trapped in long-lasting darkness.
The evening wind gently brushes past, the night moon hides behind the clouds.
A new day has arrived.
