Chapter 1132: Chapter 1132: Could Die at Any Moment (3)
Of course, she couldnât 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? Itâs 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 wouldnât 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 couldnât leave, so she could only lean helplessly against him.
However, she couldnât 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: âBrother Xi, do you think Iâm so unlucky, I might even choke to death while drinking water?â
As soon as she said this, Ruan Jiaojiao instantly regretted it because she saw Xiu Xiâs face turn as white as a sheet, completely bloodless.
âBrother Xi, Iâm just talking nonsense, donât be nervous, donât be nervous.â Sensing the terrifying aura coming from Xiu Xi again, Ruan Jiaojiao hurried to comfort him, almost wanting to slap her own mouthâtruly touching on a sore point!
Just as Ruan Jiaojiao thought she was going to be scolded or reprimanded, she felt herself pulled into Xiu Xiâs 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.
âI wonât let you die, absolutely.â These words were pressed out through Xiu Xiâs teeth, each one hard and firm.
This time, Ruan Jiaojiao truly felt Xiu Xiâs abnormality.
She was temporarily at a loss for words.
After a long while, she finally reached out to wrap her arms around Xiu Xiâs waist and whispered an apology: âBrother Xi, donât be like this, I wonât make such jokes in the future.â
Holding her, Xiu Xiâs green eyes were deep and dark; no one knew what sinister thoughts were rising in his mind at this moment.
Ifâif the heavens were destined to take her away, then he wouldnât 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 Jiaojiaoâs current situation; as soon as he heard she was injured again, he couldnât 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: âWhy couldnât you be more carefulâŠâ Then he remembered that even being careful couldnât 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.
