The corridor was dead silent, with only the faint sound of the second hand ticking. Everyone simultaneously looked at the clock.
The dean was so anxious he was on fire; he couldnât take it anymore and grabbed the attending doctorâs collar, yelling, "Is there really no way? Do we just wait around like this?"
"...You can say something that might stimulate the patient."
Qin Yue kicked open the ward door and shouted inside, "Sis, hurry up and speak. Tell the Living Yama that if he dares to die, youâll dare to marry Meng Ping, marry Shen Jianguo, or marry both of them, make them son-in-laws, and have a bunch of kids. Let him try dying now."
"..." The corridor was dead silent, Little Hooligan, you really dare to say it.
Su Huaiâanâs face was terrible.
Sheng Ningâs eyes suddenly shone with a terrifying brilliance. She stood up, flinging off Xu Qigangâs hand, and in a cold voice, said, "Xu Qigang, if you dare to die, Iâll marry Meng Ping and have lots and lots of kids with him. And Shen Jianguo, Iâm so good-looking, surely many would want to marry me, do you really not mind? You..."
Before she could finish, she suddenly felt her hand clutched by an iron-like fist, causing her to frown in pain.
"Ouch!"
"Ah, ah, ah..." Qin Yue jumped up frantically, "The Living Yama woke up, he really woke up."
Sheng Ning was stunned, lowering her head to meet Xu Qigangâs deep eyes.
"I wouldnât let you marry another man even if I die, not in this life, not in the next." His voice was hoarse and deep, gripping Sheng Ningâs hand tightly, refusing to let go.
Sheng Ning suddenly laughed, tears she couldnât wipe away, "I was fooling you; I only like you and will always like you."
Xu Qigang gazed deeply at her, his eyes filled with overwhelming affection, "I wonât die; I need to protect you for a lifetime."
"Yes!" She nodded heavily, bending over to give him a deep kiss on the lips.
Xu Qigangâs face, previously pale and haggard, turned visibly red at a speed one could see with the naked eye. After two months in Siberia, his originally tanned skin had lightened by two tones.
His blushing was much more obvious than before.
"Youâre blushing." Sheng Ning reluctantly let go of him and kissed him again.
"Everyoneâs watching!" Xu Qigang whispered, his voice deep and rich, making her head spin.
Sheng Ning turned around, the ward filled with people, but she didnât blush like Xu Qigang. She laughed foolishly, so joyfully. Then her body went limp, and she collapsed.
Su Huaiâan was quick-eyed and promptly caught her in his arms.
"Xiao Ning..." Xu Qigang anxiously tried to sit up, luckily stopped by Qin Yue in time.
"Sheâs fine, just too weak from giving you too much blood."
The ward was in chaos, where there was originally one bed, now there were two side by side. After examining Xu Qigang and confirming no life threat, the doctor relaxed, set up an IV, and left.
Qin Yue dragged a chair to the bedside, gazing at him with a complex expression. "Do you know? Because of you, the whole Northern District was in an uproar. Yesterday, the Main Hospitalâs entrance was completely blocked, with people from your War Wolf Rescue Team, the Third Rescue Team, everyone from the Rescue Association showed up. Even the Research Institute, Security Department, and Provincial Command Center are here. Oh! Your face is so great, even Iâm envious. Half an hour ago, it was confirmed you were awake, and then the comrades at the hospital entrance left."
