Chapter 151 They Want You to Live Well
Qiao Jingyu was originally immersed in her own thoughts, but suddenly, the words that Duan Yuchen had said to her before flashed through her mind. It was like an extremely sharp needle suddenly pierced into her heart, and waves of stabbing pain came like a tide, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
At this moment, she couldn't help but wonder if Duan Yuchen, who was in the dream at the moment, was suffering from the great pain of losing his relatives and close comrades? Those bloody and horrific scenes appeared again and again in the depths of his mind, constantly impacting his strong yet fragile heart.
Duan Yuchen had always been as calm as a mountain, as if no difficulties or obstacles could knock him down. However, now, he looked so painful, which was so rare. Qiao Jingyu could clearly feel that he was holding her hand more and more tightly, with such great force that it seemed to crush her bones. The constant pain came from her hand, and Qiao Jingyu even felt that her hand was about to be broken.
But even so, Qiao Jingyu still endured the severe pain and dared not move. Because compared to the pain in her hands, the dense pain in her heart caused by her heartache for Duan Yuchen was much stronger.
Qiao Jingyu slowly stood up and gently sat down beside the bed. She stretched out her other hand that Duan Yuchen had not held, and gently stroked his slightly pale face full of pain. At the same time, she comforted him in an extremely gentle tone: "Mr. Duan, your relatives and comrades-in-arms tried their best to protect you at the last moment of their lives. Their greatest wish is that you can continue to live well, feel the beauty of this world on their behalf, and enjoy your happy life. So, please don't torture yourself endlessly like this, all the suffering has become a thing of the past, you should try to slowly let go of the past and start a new life again."
I don't know if Qiao Jingyu's gentle words worked, but Duan Yuchen's grip on her hand slowly weakened, like a taut bowstring gradually loosening. His brows, which were so tightly furrowed that they seemed to be able to pinch a fly to death, gradually relaxed, and he regained his former peace and tranquility.
Duan Yuchen developed a habit of getting up early in the army, and this habit was deeply imprinted in his nervous system like a brand, and it has never changed even a little over the years. Whenever it was dawn, he would wake up on time without the urging of an alarm clock.
At this moment, the sky outside the window just showed a faint light, just like the last trace of darkness before dawn is about to be dispelled by the morning light. The whole world is still immersed in a quiet and peaceful state.
Duan Yuchen lay there quietly, his ears echoing with the even and soothing breathing coming from beside him. He found that he was gently holding a small hand that was as soft as boneless in his palm. Duan Yuchen couldn't help but be slightly startled, and the fragments of memory in his mind began to piece together and reorganize quickly. It was not until then that he suddenly remembered that Qiao Jingyu came back with him last night.
He clearly remembered that he was once again deeply trapped in that terrible nightmare last night and couldn't extricate himself. However, strangely, this time he was not suddenly awakened as usual, but fell into sleep again without knowing it, and the sleep afterwards was so peaceful and deep. Could it be that... was it really because she was by his side? Thinking of this, Duan Yuchen's mouth corners involuntarily rose, outlining a shallow warm arc.
He just listened quietly to Qiao Jingyu's gentle breathing, which was as gentle as the breeze, and his heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of peace and satisfaction. After a while, Duan Yuchen tried to move his arms gently, trying to relieve the numbness caused by maintaining the same posture for a long time. But at this moment, he found that Qiao Jingyu was sleeping soundly on the bed with her whole body resting on his arm. Duan Yuchen couldn't help but feel an indescribable tenderness in his heart.
Duan Yuchen gently removed the warm towel on his forehead and slowly stood up. Every movement he made seemed so gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing the air around him. Then, he got out of bed carefully, afraid of making any sound. Then, he walked to Qiao Jingyu and gently held her in his arms. Just as he was about to put Qiao Jingyu on the soft bed, suddenly, a crisp ringtone broke the silence. It turned out that Qiao Jingyu's cell phone rang at an inopportune time.
Qiao Jingyu seemed to be startled by the sudden ringing of the bell, and suddenly woke up from her sleep. She opened her eyes dazedly, her eyes were blurry and confused, and she obviously had not fully woken up yet, and she couldn't even react to where she was for a moment. About two seconds later, as her consciousness gradually returned, her thoughts began to slowly become clear. At this time, she was shocked to find that she was actually being held tightly in Duan Yuchen's arms! In an instant, Qiao Jingyu's face flushed red, her face was full of panic and helplessness, and she stammered: "...Duan, Mr. Duan...why...why are you holding me?"
Hearing Qiao Jingyu's words, Duan Yuchen's face was barely perceptible with a hint of embarrassment, but in just a blink of an eye, he quickly adjusted his mood and returned to his usual calm and composed appearance, responding lightly: "I want to hold you to bed and have a good rest."
However, Qiao Jingyu was obviously saying one thing and doing another. She shook her head and said anxiously, "No... no need... I'm not sleepy at all..." As she spoke, she quickly broke free from Duan Yuchen's embrace like a frightened little rabbit and swiftly jumped to the ground. Then, she said to Duan Yuchen in a panic, "Mr. Duan, I'm sorry, I have to go answer a phone call first." Before she finished speaking, she ran to the window like a flash of smoke.
It was Song Yang who answered the phone.
Qiao Jingyu took a long breath, calmed down, and then answered the phone, "Brother Song."
"Oh no, something happened." Song Yang's anxious voice came from the phone.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Jingyu asked nervously.
"The news that the teacher accepted bribes has been exposed. Now the newspapers and the Internet are flooded with this news, and there is also a video of the teacher having dinner with Lu Jinghai."
"How could this happen? Didn't they say that this matter is currently just an internal investigation?"
"I don't know who leaked the news. Although the matter is still under investigation, the Internet is full of accusations and insults against the teacher. The teacher's home is blocked by the media."
Qiao Jingyu immediately thought of Mu Xuefei and Gu Qingping who were still in the hospital, "How are Feifei and Aunt Gu?"
"I don't know either. I'm rushing to the hospital now."
"Are the Yuerxi Hotel and the hospital on the same route?" Qiao Jingyu was not very familiar with Haicheng.
"What?" Qiao Jingyu changed the topic so quickly that Song Yang didn't react.
"I'm at the Yuerxi Hotel now. If you're on your way, come pick me up. I'll go to the hospital too."
"On the way, I'll be at the Yuerxi Hotel in 10 minutes."
"Okay, wait for me, I'll go down after I wash up."
Qiao Jing hung up the phone and went to wash up immediately. When she came out, Duan Yuchen was changing clothes.
From Qiao Jingyu's angle, she could just see Duan Yuchen's exposed back, with distinct muscles, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and the lines of his spine were so powerful.
Caught off guard by the sight of Duan Yuchen's naked upper body, Qiao Jingyu froze in place, her eyes wide open, her heartbeat quickened, and her entire face felt as hot as fire.
