Scenes of memories were played in reverse, in front of her like a revolving lantern, good and bad, all of them came like a flood, knocking her to the bottom of the sea, pulling her gradually sinking into the abyss.
"An Ning... An Ning..."
A familiar and reassuring call made Ye Qingning slowly open his eyes. She was floating in the sea, and when she realized that she was about to die from lack of oxygen, a slender hand with distinct joints suddenly appeared.
In a daze, she heard the owner of the hand say: "Wake up, Aning."
The voice was extremely gentle, but it made Ye Qingning's heart twitch and hurt, as if this person shouldn't have such a humble and begging tone, shouldn't...
She held the hand tightly without hesitation, and the seawater dissipated in an instant, replaced by the dazzling incandescent lights on the hospital ceiling.
Ye Qingning was motionless, but his eyes were spinning blankly. He let the people around him shout without any reaction.
"Doctor Fang, what's going on?" Jiang Lanxi held Ye Qingning's hand with a distressed look on her face.
Ji Huaiyu silently smoothed the broken hair on Ye Qingning's forehead and pursed his lips in silence.
"Miss Qingning just woke up. There are too many people for her to reply. Why don't you go out and talk?"
So, a group of people left the room in a hurry, leaving Ji Huaiyu alone to accompany her.
They were originally discussing the issue of Ye Qingning's stay, but Fang Yue suddenly called and said that Ye Qingning had reacted. He didn't care about anything else and immediately drove to the hospital, thus the opening scene happened.
"I just tried acupuncture, and it worked so quickly. It seems that Miss Qingning is much stronger than I thought." Fang Yue nodded with admiration in his tone.
It is rare for a child of this age to have experienced such terrible things twice and still protect her heart from being invaded by fear. No wonder Mr. Ji likes her so much.
"Then why is she so stunned and unresponsive?" Ye An's tone was a little urgent.
"This is normal. It was supposed to take several courses of treatment. Unexpectedly, Miss Qingning woke up early, so she has not fully recovered yet and needs to be nursed back to health slowly."
"I just woke up and she's not very stable yet. I'll pick her up the day after tomorrow. Fang Yue, let's go." Mr. Ji didn't give others time to refute, and walked ahead on crutches. Fang Yue said hello to a few people. , carrying the medicine box and following him.
Mr. Ji left, but the Ye family still stood where they were.
Ye Qi sighed, "Tang Tang, Zimo, I will ask the driver to take you back later. Ye Lin, you take Ye Ke, Ye An and your parents back first. Tonight, Ji Huaiyu and I will take care of you. "
Several people pursed their lips but did not move.
"By the way, Ye An, you and mom will help Ning Ning sort out her clothes tomorrow."
"Do you really want Ye Qingning to go?" Ye An lowered his head and clenched his hands into fists.
"It's not safe in the country, and the environment at the manor is better and suitable for recuperation. Doctor Fang can't stay here all the time. It's for her own good to let Ning Ning go abroad." Ye Qi covered Ye An's head with his hand. Explained softly.
"Tang Tang, Zimo, I know you and Ning Ning have a good relationship, but true friendship will not be defeated by distance and time, do you understand?"
Tang Tang's eyes turned red and he nodded. Qin Zimo stood aside silently. Although he was reluctant to give up, he also knew that this was the best choice for Ye Qingning at this time.
Ye Qi looked at Ye Lin and patted his shoulder. "I'll leave it to you at home."
The latter nodded and hit Ye Qi's chest like a fist, saying nothing.
Finally, the group of people dispersed. Ye Qi felt a little uncomfortable and stood at the door for a while before opening the door and going in.
"Sleep?" Seeing Ji Huaiyu's 'quiet' gesture, Ye Qi immediately relaxed his movements.
He pointed outside, Ji Huaiyu nodded, tucked Ye Qingning in, and turned off the light.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qingning, who was sleeping soundly, woke up immediately, sat up suddenly, and tore off the needle in his hand due to the excessive movement. She wrapped herself in the quilt, revealing a pair of frightened eyes, trying to shrink herself into a ball, not daring to make a sound, and tears rolled down one by one...
The sudden movement startled the two of them, and Ji Huaiyu opened the door immediately. When the two of them saw this scene, their hearts ached.
Ye Qi froze on the spot, opening and closing his mouth without saying a word. Ji Huaiyu immediately sat next to Ye Qingning. Regardless of her struggle, he held her in his arms and patted her softly.
"Aning, be good, I'm Ji Huaiyu, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here..." Ji Huaiyu repeated over and over again.
Maybe it was because the lights were on, maybe it was because Ji Huaiyu's words had a calming effect, or maybe it was because Ye Qingning's body was still very weak, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and called the doctor to insert Ye Qingning's injection again. The delicate arms were already covered in bruises due to the insertion of needles, and the two of them couldn't bear to look at them any longer.
After the doctor left, Ji Huaiyu carefully helped her tidy up the quilt and loose hair. This time, the two of them didn't dare to turn off the lights, or even close the door, for fear of missing any movement.
Two grown men sat at one end of the hospital bench, staring at the opposite wall, thinking for a long time.
In the end, it was Ye Qi who spoke first to break the silence of the moment.
"Ning Ning used to worry and rush about my affairs, but now, as the eldest brother, I have done nothing to help, and let her suffer such a horrible thing again." Ye Qi put his hand on his forehead and looked at her head. On the ground, his tone was full of regret and pain.
Ji Huaiyu felt uncomfortable, and he didn't say any words of comfort. He didn't know that there was nothing to say.
"Rongshan's side has already started taking action, now we have to wait for news from her side, soon."
"Where is Chen Xi?"
Ye Qi quickly adjusted his condition. He is no longer a teenager. Instead of wallowing in pain, he might as well turn it into motivation and make the murderer behind this situation pay the due price!
"There has been some progress, but now we still have to focus on Ningning. I have told the second doctor, Dr. Fang, that there is an emergency and this matter needs to be put on hold. Their reaction is that they have been waiting for so many years. I don’t care about one more year.”
"If Ning Ning goes abroad, can't the two elders keep it a secret?" Ye Qi sighed. If Ning Ning wakes up and hears this news, she will definitely not be happy.
"The two elders have been vaguely aware of it. When we find the right time, Han Qingqiu and the others will solve it."
"That's good." Ye Qi pursed his lips and leaned against the wall, his eyes wandering.
Soon, the day came to go abroad. The family bid farewell to Ye Qingning at the airport. Ye Qingning was sitting in a wheelchair, unresponsive. When he first arrived, he separated from Ji Huaiyu, hooking his fingers and refusing to let go.
"Aning." Ji Huaiyu squatted in front of her.
Ye Qingning's pupils moved slightly, but there was still no reaction.
The weather gradually became colder and warmer, and Ji Huaiyu tightened Ye Qingning's cloak a little tighter.
"A Ning, be good, wait for me, I will find you soon, okay?"
Ye Qingning did not react, and Ji Huaiyu was not in a hurry. He squatted with a soft expression. After a long time, Ye Qingning finally let go of his hand.
Ji Huaiyu smiled and kissed her forehead with great piety.
"Just wait for me, and this will be over soon."
The plane left a cloud of planes in the sky and gradually disappeared into the clouds.
