Chapter 503 Accustomed to it, a bitter smile
hospital.
Emergency room intensive care unit.
Su Tianxiao lay listlessly on the hospital bed, feeling weak and with a burning sensation and dull pain in his stomach.
Su Tianxiao lay quietly alone in the ward, her eyes somewhat vacant, staring at the snow-white ceiling, lost in thought.
There was a square transparent window in the door panel. A woman stood outside the door with a frown, but dared not go in.
It's better not to meet than to meet. Given Su Tianxiao's current condition, if she gets angry again, it might worsen her illness.
Wen Qingjia stood there, her legs going numb, but she refused to leave, even though she could only vaguely see the man's back on the bed through the window...
After a while, Wen Qingjia's legs began to tremble, and she tilted and lost her balance. She could only barely maintain her standing posture by supporting herself on the door panel.
The bodyguard standing by the door couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up.
"Miss, would you like to rest for a while? You've been standing for two hours."
Wen Qingjia shook her head, biting her lip stubbornly, and continued to stand by the door. But this time, when she looked up, she suddenly met a pair of dark eyes, which startled her so much that her heart clenched.
Su Tianxiao had gotten up at some point and was standing on the other side of the door, staring intently at Wen Qingjia through the glass.
Wen Qingjia's face flushed red and then turned pale, clearly not expecting that Su Tianxiao would discover her presence.
The door was quickly pulled open from the inside by Su Tianxiao, and Wen Qingjia suddenly lost her footing and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the bodyguards nearby wanted to go forward to help, but were stopped by their partner with a look.
A young lady's relationship develops faster when she's alone with the man she likes.
They'd better just ignore everything and continue being mascots at the door.
Su Tianxiao stared coldly at the woman on the ground; his lips were still pale, giving him a sickly appearance.
"My legs are numb and I can't get up. Can you help me?" Wen Qingjia's voice was soft and gentle, very pleasant to the ear.
Su Tianxiao narrowed his eyes, seemingly considering the feasibility of the matter, and did not immediately go to pull the woman on the ground.
Wen Qingjia was filled with disappointment. She braced herself against the ground with her hands and gritted her teeth, preparing to stand up on her own.
But the next second, Su Tianxiao's hand reached out in front of her.
"Does Miss Wen have nothing better to do? Standing outside the ward in the middle of the night, what are you up to, acting so suspiciously?"
The man's voice was full of sarcasm, and even his act of helping the woman up from the ground seemed like charity.
With Su Tianxiao's help, Wen Qingjia stood up; her foot was much better now.
After pulling Wen Qingjia up, Su Tianxiao quickly released the woman's hand, his brows furrowing as he wiped his fingers on his pants in disgust, as if he had touched something unclean.
Wen Qingjia was stung by Su Tianxiao's actions, and a bitter smile, as if she were used to it, curled up at the corner of her mouth.
After Su Tianxiao finished speaking, he fell silent, his hand wiping his fingers stopped, and his thin lips pressed into a straight line.
"I'll go call the nurse and have her give you the injection again." Wen Qingjia composed herself and turned to leave.
She had just seen it; he had pulled the needle out of Su Tianxiao's hand, but there were still nearly two-thirds of the medicine left in the bottle.
"No need, I think you're the one who's sick. You should go lie in bed. I'm not going to serve you anymore." After saying that, Su Tianxiao walked towards the door.
Suppressing her inner turmoil, Wen Qingjia quickly said, "You don't need to leave. I'll leave. I won't appear in front of you again, and I won't bother you anymore. You can rest assured!"
Tears welled up in the woman's eyes, but she held them back, carrying them out of the ward.
"You can all leave now. You won't be needed to protect Su Tianxiao anymore. I will pay you your wages according to the contract."
After Wen Qingjia finished speaking, she walked towards the nurses' duty room around the corner, leaving the bodyguards completely bewildered.
Why don't they suddenly need to protect Su Tianxiao anymore? Is it completely over between Miss and this Young Master Su?
Everyone was filled with doubt, but they dared not disobey Wen Qingjia. They looked at each other, and soon dispersed.
Su Tianxiao stood on the floor of the ward with his back to the door, his hands clenched into fists at his sides. It felt as if a hole had been torn in his heart, and that hole was getting bigger and bigger until it filled his heart, turning the area where his heart was into a bottomless void.
Su Tianxiao's eyes were filled with fluctuating emotions, sometimes regretful, sometimes conflicted, but most of the time they reflected the same pain as Wen Qingjia's eyes.
In the early hours of the morning, in the quiet hospital corridor near the restroom, a slender woman was hugging her shoulders, making muffled, suppressed sobs.
She was filled with hatred, hating herself for suppressing her anger and calling a nurse for Su Tianxiao when she was so angry that she lost her temper.
She hated herself for not being able to forget Su Tianxiao, and hated herself for being so pathetic, falling into Su Tianxiao's hands again and again.
Wen Qingjia didn't know how long she had been crying, and during that time, no one appeared in the bathroom.
At this time, everyone in the ward was asleep, most of them already deep in a dream.
Wen Qingjia squatted on the floor, crying until she was exhausted. She stood up wearily, but then a wave of dizziness hit her head. Losing her balance, she fell forward with a sudden thud, and her vision was filled with stars.
The expected pain did not come; Wen Qingjia felt herself being supported by a pair of slightly warm male hands.
Before she could even see who was standing in front of her, she was already being pulled into their arms.
The other person hugged her tightly, exuding a unique scent that Wen Qingjia could never forget.
Wen Qingjia was stunned for a few seconds, feeling a sense of unreality.
I raised my hand and pinched myself. A sharp pain shot through my skin, but everything in front of me was still there.
Only then did Wen Qingjia belatedly realize that what she was seeing was not a fantasy. She then raised her arm and shakily climbed onto the man's lower back to hug him back.
"Don't push me away anymore. Give me a chance to explain, okay?" Wen Qingjia's voice was hoarse from crying, with a thick nasal tone.
Su Tianxiao kept his eyes tightly closed, his arms wrapped tightly around the woman in front of him, as if he wanted to meld her into his body and become one with her.
A low moan escaped her throat. Su Tianxiao felt Wen Qingjia trembling. Her whole body was shivering, and her emotions had collapsed.
"What happened between me and your brother was really just an accident..." Wen Qingjia hugged Su Tianxiao, steeling her heart. Even if Su Tianxiao didn't want to listen or didn't believe her, she was going to tell her.
“Back then, I was playful and always ran outside. One day, by chance, I passed by your house and saw a middle school boy sitting at the door drawing…”
"He had short, slightly curly black hair, handsome features, and a refined and beautiful appearance."
"I was immediately captivated by that little boy. I stood at the door, staring blankly, until sunset. As the sky gradually darkened, the little boy packed up his easel and went back inside, while I stood there dumbfounded."
Wen Qingjia was lost in her memories, her eyes glazing out, looking at the wall through Su Tianxiao's arms, or as if she were looking through the wall to a more distant place.
