second life

When Zhao Xiu woke up, there was no one in the ward. He felt like his whole body was falling apart. The weakness after blood loss made his body movements slow. He opened his eyes and looked around. The smell of disinfectant in the hospital flooded his nose. He wanted to sit down. When I got up, my right leg, which felt nothing, declared a strike. This feeling was really bad.

Closing his eyes again, recalling the previous scene in the car, Zhao Xiu's face was calm, but there seemed to be something surging inside.He felt someone push open the door of the ward, and then walked to the bedside, the movement of the person coming was very light, and seemed to be rhythmic, stepping on the spot with every step.

He didn't sit down, but stood beside the bed. Zhao Xiu could even feel his gaze on his face, which was deeper than calm, and there was heat hidden in the condensation.It wasn't until his hand touched his head that Zhao Xiu raised his hand to cover the back of his hand, and slowly opened his eyes.

"I know you're awake." Lin Yuanqi's voice was unexpectedly soft, he finally sat down, but his hand was still on Zhao Xiu's forehead, until Zhao Xiu grabbed his hand and held it in the palm of his hand, and soon , I felt a hot flash in my hand.

The two of them didn't speak, until Zhao Xiu's eyes looked at the water glass, Lin Yuanqi pulled out his hand and poured him a glass of white water.

But Zhao Xiu didn't look easy to get up, Lin Yuanqi put the water glass on the bedside table, rolled up the hospital bed, so that Zhao Xiu could sit up smoothly, and handed the water glass to his hand.

Zhao Xiu picked up the glass with his uninjured left hand and took a sip of water. His throat was still a little dry, but he didn't feel the pain when he spoke. He finally looked at Lin Yuanqi.

"Unexpectedly, you are quite good at taking care of people."

"It seems that it's all right." Lin Yuanqi's expression was still indifferent, he sat on the chair beside the bed, his posture was very upright, almost like a soldier undergoing a review, but he also had the awe of a high-ranking person.

"Tofu, you're not dead." Zhao Xiu raised his eyebrows, and there was a little smile on the corner of his mouth, but he looked at Lin Yuanqi with something more than usual.Lin Yuanqi subconsciously didn't like this kind of gaze, but he didn't avoid Zhao Xiu. The two of them looked at each other quietly, as if neither of them planned to speak again. It wasn't until Lin Yuanqi's phone rang again that he stood up and walked out of the ward.

After Lin Yuanqi went out, Ah Wen came in with a large basket of fruits. There was still some stagnant atmosphere in the ward, which was as keen as Ah Wen. He naturally felt it, but he didn't say anything, just grinned and put the fruit basket away. Go to the end of Zhao Xiu's bed.

"Brother Jiu, how do you feel? Brother Qi didn't scare anyone to death when he just rushed over. His expression, hey, I've never seen him care so much about someone." He glanced at Zhao Xiu who was smiling faintly, He opened the bag and took an apple out, put it in his hand and twirled it around, "Brother Qi just asked me to buy some toiletries, and Yao Sangeng went back to tidy up your clothes for you, would you like an apple?"

"it is good."

As expected, Ah Wen lowered his head and started peeling apples. He said slowly while peeling: "The people who ambushed us before are all dead. The car exploded and no one was left alive. Only the motorcycle rider is still alive, but because of the hand and leg Both suffered gunshot wounds and are now in the hospital."

He raised his head and glanced at Zhao Xiu, thinking of his reaction when they were attacked, he felt admiration in his heart, it was a blessing to be able to save their lives under such circumstances, and he not only let them save their lives, but also killed the opponent's Man, it's a pity that such a person...

Ah Wen handed him the apple, and Zhao Xiu took a bite, the sweet and sour taste moistened his parched mouth.

Ah Wen looked at him quietly gnawing on an apple. He really wanted to swallow the words that came to his lips. In fact, he knew that even if he kept it from Zhao Xiu, he might not be able to keep it from Zhao Xiu for long. But if he told him now, this always strong man would still Can you be so calm?

Zhao Xiu took a bite of the apple, and leaning on the bed did not look weak, but calm and confident, "Just say what you have to say, don't hesitate. Is there something wrong with my injury?"

Awen put the small knife for peeling the fruit aside, wiped his hands, then turned around, and said slowly, "Your legs..." He pursed his lips slightly, and regret flashed between his brows.

Zhao Xiu's legs seemed to move under the quilt. Of course, he couldn't move, but he subconsciously made this movement when he heard Ah Wen's words.

There was no sensation in the leg, not even pain.

"The bullet hit my knee?" The red apple in Zhao Xiu's hand was only half left, but it was still bright.

"Yes, the bullet shattered your knee, and you may not be able to stand up in the future." The correct statement should be that Zhao Xiu will be in a wheelchair in his next life, and he doesn't want to see this kind of result. It was a great time, but suddenly encountered such a thing.

Zhao Xiu looked at his leg, even stretched out his uninjured left hand to touch it, then knocked it again, he really lost all consciousness.He closed his eyes slightly, and his voice was as calm as before, "I see."

"Brother Ninth..." Ah Wen knew that it would take time for him to accept the news, but seeing that this person hardly showed any negative reaction, he felt a little depressed in his heart. He excused himself to go out to wash his hands and closed the door, leaving only Zhao Xiu was alone in the ward.

The room fell silent for a while.

"Your condition seems to be fine." Lin Yuanxiang's voice was still gentle, and he didn't feel the slightest sense of disobedience when he brought a bunch of bright roses into the ward, "I gave it to you, I hope to recover soon." Put the flowers at the end of the bed , he casually took the seat where Lin Yuanqi sat just now.

"Thank you." Zhao Xiu's tone of thanks was so natural that Lin Yuanxiang raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"You don't look surprised."

Zhao Xiu leaned on the bed, threw the finished apple core into the trash can, took out a tissue to wipe his hands, and then slowly turned his head to look at the uninvited guy.

"You have come here, do you still want me to show a flattered expression?" He could see that Lin Yuanxiang had something to say when he came this time, and he even took off a lot of the disguise that he usually put on his face, but, like this Is the timing too coincidental?

Lin Yuanxiang seemed to know what he was thinking, and smiled meaningfully, "Lin Yuanqi's guards at the door of your ward are very strict, but no matter how strict they are, they are members of the Qing Gang." Since he is a member of the Qing Gang, naturally he must listen to Lin Yuanxiang dispatch.

"Oh?" Zhao Xiu smiled lightly, noncommittal to his words, it was really not difficult for Lin Yuanxiang to come in, but just happened to be stuck at the time when Lin Yuanqi and Ah Wen were going out, so some skills were needed.

Lin Yuanxiang was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed and his hands on his knees. On the same chair, he and Lin Yuanqi sat in different postures, and their aura was completely different. He looked at Zhao Xiu as if he was looking at something. interesting stuff.

The scrutinizing eyes lingered from his face to his legs covered by the quilt, and he opened his mouth slowly when he was ready.

"Are you lame?" The words were very straightforward and unceremonious.

"Ah, it is said that it is so." Zhao Xiu still smiled freely.

Lin Yuanxiang's smile deepened, and he stared into Zhao Xiu's eyes, as if he wanted to see through this person, "I knew you were an interesting guy when I saw you for the first time. Until now, you haven't let me I'm disappointed, it really is getting more and more interesting, but the vision is not very good."

"Oh?" Zhao Xiu tilted his head, listening attentively.

Lin Yuanxiang laughed softly, he leaned all over the chair, stretched his body, and his movements were quite casual, "You obviously have more choices, but it's a pity that you are wrong, no matter what aspect it is." His eyes were fixed on Zhao Xiu , although there is a smile on the face, there is no smile in the eyes.

"Then Young Master Lin's choice is correct?" Zhao Xiu smiled with a little sarcasm, "Did you like your father?"

The smile on Lin Yuanxiang's face disappeared instantly, and the coldness and killing intent flashed across his eyes in an instant.

"Do you know that I can kill you right now."

"Since you said that, you definitely won't do it."

Lin Yuanxiang looked at him coldly, and said slowly, "Zhao Xiu, hello, you are fine. There has never been anyone who can make me want to kill him within a few words."

"I'm deeply honored." Zhao Xiu's complexion was bad, but his imposing manner made up for everything. He looked sideways at Lin Yuanxiang, "Instead of talking nonsense here, Young Master Lin, it's better to explain why you're here, so as not to waste everyone's time. If I get stuck later I can't hear what Lin Shao said clearly, so I've let down this rose."

Lin Yuanxiang snorted and laughed, the expression on his face finally relaxed again, but looking at Zhao Xiu was a little different again.

"You're smart, but smart people always die young."

"Master Lin told me that."

"Oh?" Lin Yuanxiang squinted his eyes, and the infatuation flashed in his eyes, which was concealed with disdain. "That's what he taught me when I was young." He took out a rose from a large bouquet and held it in his hand. The thorns of the roses were not cut, and he didn't care about the pain of the thorns on his hand. Holding the rose tightly, the expression on his face stretched.

Lin Yuanxiang looked at Zhao Xiu, "People in the Lin family, except for Lin Ya, are all lunatics. Of course, your lover Lin Yuanqi is no exception. Otherwise, why would you lie on the bed like this." He smiled playfully, looked at Zhao Xiu looked expressionless, as if he had discovered something interesting, his eyes gradually narrowed, "He treats you like this, and you still treat him wholeheartedly." He shook his finger, "You are not such a man, Zhao Xiu Xiu, you are also a wolf."

Zhao Xiu sneered, "Young Master Lin, don't treat yourself like a magic stick."

"I don't believe you don't know. Everyone will think that Shen San did it, or I did it, or even the old man did it. But you should know Lin Yuanqi's position in it. You won't be so stupid as to believe him, right? Because of love ?” He laughed, seemingly contemptuous, but also amused.

"Then Young Master Lin, why are you here to tell me this now?"

Zhao Xiu watched the roses fall one by one from his hand, the man's hand was already slightly bloodshot, but he didn't notice it.

Lin Yuanxiang raised his head and lifted his chin slightly, "Zhao Xiu, cooperate with me."

Zhao Xiu laughed softly, "Why should I trust you?"

Lin Yuanxiang leaned on the chair, as if Zhao Xiu was so stupid at this moment, "You won't be really dazzled by the so-called love, will Lin Yuanqi really fall in love with someone? Even if he really loves you and makes you lie in bed and be his for the rest of your life, it's better than you running around all day and making him unable to catch you." He narrowed his eyes. , holding the withered rose stem tightly in his hand, "Maybe he really loves you, like this, you can't go anywhere, and belong to him forever."

For a moment, it was already hard to tell who Lin Yuanxiang was talking about.

Zhao Xiu smiled slightly and looked at the man who opened the door.
