Chapter 1132: Chapter 1132: Could Die at Any Moment (3)
Of course, she couldn’t say this out loud, because Xiu Xi seemed to know what she wanted to say, and immediately looked over with a face that matched his earlier one. Ruan Jiaojiao immediately flashed a smile, indicating she was obedient.
Fukang Hospital is somewhat far from the city center, located in the more remote suburbs. It would take Xiu Xi at least an hour to walk there with Ruan Jiaojiao on his back. So, Xiu Xi could only carry Ruan Jiaojiao to a public phone booth to call Ruan Jianguo to come and take them.
To this, Ruan Jiaojiao was speechless.
Clearly he could have just left her at the clinic first, why insist on carrying her over? It’s much more effort.
As Xiu Xi was making the call, Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to go to the nearby convenience store to buy some snacks, but Xiu Xi wouldn’t allow her to move. With one hand holding the phone, he clasped her wrist with the other, pinning her against his side, not allowing her to leave him even half a step.
Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t leave, so she could only lean helplessly against him.
However, she couldn’t help her mind from wandering again.
She felt that there was a saying that perfectly suited her current state: when someone is unlucky, they can even get their teeth stuck drinking water.
By then, Xiu Xi had finished his call. Knowing she wanted to buy snacks, he supported her as they walked to the side. Ruan Jiaojiao felt the atmosphere was a bit oppressive since her injury, so she wanted to lighten the mood. She tilted her head up and joked with him: “Brother Xi, do you think I’m so unlucky, I might even choke to death while drinking water?”
As soon as she said this, Ruan Jiaojiao instantly regretted it because she saw Xiu Xi’s face turn as white as a sheet, completely bloodless.
“Brother Xi, I’m just talking nonsense, don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous.” Sensing the terrifying aura coming from Xiu Xi again, Ruan Jiaojiao hurried to comfort him, almost wanting to slap her own mouth—truly touching on a sore point!
Just as Ruan Jiaojiao thought she was going to be scolded or reprimanded, she felt herself pulled into Xiu Xi’s embrace.
Ruan Jiaojiao let out a soft hum; Xiu Xi was holding her tightly, and she felt her bones being squeezed to the point of pain.
“I won’t let you die, absolutely.” These words were pressed out through Xiu Xi’s teeth, each one hard and firm.
This time, Ruan Jiaojiao truly felt Xiu Xi’s abnormality.
She was temporarily at a loss for words.
After a long while, she finally reached out to wrap her arms around Xiu Xi’s waist and whispered an apology: “Brother Xi, don’t be like this, I won’t make such jokes in the future.”
Holding her, Xiu Xi’s green eyes were deep and dark; no one knew what sinister thoughts were rising in his mind at this moment.
If—if the heavens were destined to take her away, then he wouldn’t mind emulating and taking a body for her!
When Ruan Jianguo drove over to pick up the two of them, Ruan Jiaojiao was leaning against Xiu Xi eating a milk-flavored lollipop. Ruan Jianguo already knew about Ruan Jiaojiao’s current situation; as soon as he heard she was injured again, he couldn’t even continue his business meeting with Lu Zhiwei and came right over.
His heart was tormented all the way until he saw Ruan Jiaojiao obediently leaning against Xiu Xi eating candy, and only then did he truly let out a sigh of relief.
He strode forward, his tall body crouched in front of Ruan Jiaojiao, carefully lifting her small hand to look at it, speaking with a tone of concern: “Why couldn’t you be more careful…” Then he remembered that even being careful couldn’t prevent it, and his heart ached once more.
Without saying anything, he picked her up by the waist and gently placed her in the back seat of the car.
