Chapter 174 Injured Again
Chapter 174 Injured Again
Li Xin had been gone for a while, and the corridor was still silent, with no one speaking.
Ouyang Mengmian stood there quietly, his heart feeling as if a bottle of five flavors had been overturned, with sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty flavors intertwined.
Once upon a time, she could have apologized to Su Jingsi for calling him her boyfriend; however, just now, in order to get rid of Li Xin's entanglement, she once again used him as a shield and took the initiative to let him kiss her. She could no longer apologize to him no matter what.
When she put her arms around Su Jingsi's neck, Su Jingsi went from being surprised at first, to passively "acting" with her, and finally to completely controlling the situation and dominating this passionate kiss. During this whole process, all of Su Jingsi's body movements and passionate kissing style clearly conveyed a message to her: he had very special feelings for her.
Every subtle touch and every hot breath of Su Jingsi made Ouyang Mengmian deeply feel the desire and emotion deep in Su Jingsi's heart. There was a strange light flashing in his eyes, which seemed to hide endless tenderness and love. This feeling made her heart beat faster, but also made her confused and uneasy.
She couldn't help but recall every bit of her time with Su Jingsi, their acquaintance, their casual glances, their accidental touches, and his silent presence by her side. Perhaps all the feelings she had felt were real, and they were not all coincidences...
Deep down in her heart, Ouyang Mengmian knew clearly that what she had done was extremely unfair to Su Jingsi. She had taken advantage of him, put him in an embarrassing and awkward situation, and perhaps hurt his sincere feelings.
This guilt and self-blame were not obvious before, but after Li Xin left, it surged into her heart like a tide. She was at a loss, not knowing how to face Su Jingsi, and how to explain the real motives behind her series of actions.
Ouyang Mengmian's silence made Su Jingsi feel uneasy. He couldn't help but recall that he had just hugged Ouyang Mengmian tightly and kissed her. He immediately regretted it and secretly blamed himself for losing control.
How could he be so easily swayed by his emotions and not consider Ouyang Mengmian's feelings? Ouyang Mengmian might be angry now. Would she leave him completely in a rage? She might even cut off all contact with him like she did with Li Xin, and they would be strangers from now on, and never meet again until the end of their lives?
Su Jingsi, realizing this possibility, instantly became flustered. His heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. Su Jingsi unconsciously clenched his hands, trying to relieve his inner anxiety, but just as he exerted force, he felt a sharp pain in the wound on his hand, causing him to let out a hiss.
The groan broke the silence around him and brought Su Jingsi back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts. He raised his hand in front of his eyes and saw that the injured hand, which was originally bandaged with white gauze, was now slowly bleeding, staining the white gauze red. Looking at his injured hand again, Su Jingsi couldn't help but feel bitter and helpless.
The sound Su Jingsi made quickly attracted Ouyang Mengmian's attention. She had excellent eyesight and immediately saw the blood-stained gauze on Su Jingsi's hand. Without thinking any more, Ouyang Mengmian almost leaped to Su Jingsi's side, stretched out her hand and carefully held Su Jingsi's hand in her palm.
Looking at the blood on the gauze, Ouyang Mengmian's eyes were full of worry. She frowned and asked Su Jingsi with concern: "Why did your wound split again?" Then the scene of Su Jingsi pulling Li Xin away and punching Li Xin appeared in her mind. She immediately understood that those actions must have caused the wound to split again.
Su Jingsi looked at Ouyang Mengmian, with a hint of embarrassment and apology in his eyes. He whispered to Ouyang Mengmian to explain: "I... I..." But after a long while, he didn't say a single word.
Ouyang Mengmian couldn't help but sigh. She didn't know what to say to Su Jingsi: "Your hand has been like this for so long, doesn't it hurt? Can you think about the consequences when you do things? You have only had this hand for two days. Don't you plan to keep it? Or do you plan to rely on me and let me take care of your food and drink for the rest of your life?"
Su Jingsi looked at Ouyang Mengmian, who looked helpless, with gratitude and guilt in his heart. He knew that his hand had cracked again, which undoubtedly added extra worries and burdens to Ouyang Mengmian. He saw Ouyang Mengmian's care and worry for him and kept it in his heart.
"Mengmian, I'm really sorry. I... I didn't think too much about it at the time, and I didn't feel that much pain afterwards... Now..." Su Jingsi tried to explain, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them. There was actually one more thing he couldn't say - if this hand can really be injured enough to rely on you for the rest of your life, then it doesn't matter if it's more seriously injured.
Ouyang Mengmian didn't want to listen to Su Jingsi's explanation. The gauze on his hand was covered in blood, which looked a bit scary. He had to be taken to the hospital and the doctor treated him. She took out her cell phone and hurriedly urged Su Jingsi while calling a taxi: "Hurry, let's go downstairs now. I'll take you to the hospital to treat your wound."
Ouyang Mengmian's eagerness and worry made Su Jingsi feel even more guilty. He nodded silently, trying not to look at his hands, so as not to add more psychological burden to Ouyang Mengmian. The two quickly packed up their things and hurried downstairs.
Under the night sky, the street lights flickered, and a taxi soon stopped in front of them. Ouyang Mengmian opened the door and carefully helped Su Jingsi into the car, fearing that he would touch his wound.
Perhaps because the atmosphere in the carriage was extremely quiet and Su Jingsi had nothing else to distract his attention, he gradually became aware of the pain in his hand that could not be ignored. But in order not to cause Ouyang Mengmian to worry, Su Jingsi still tried his best to find something to say to distract himself and Ouyang Mengmian.
"Mengmian, don't worry, I'm fine." Su Jingsi endured the pain in his hands and tried to comfort Ouyang Mengmian.
"How can you be okay?" Ouyang Mengmian's tone was somewhat reproachful, but more of it was heartache. "You lost so much blood, and you are okay? Do you really think you are Iron Man? No matter what happens in the future, please take care of yourself first, okay? If you don't take your body seriously like this in the future, I will really be angry."
Ouyang Mengmian's words flowed into Su Jingsi's heart like a warm current. He smiled slightly, and although his face was a little pale due to the pain, he tried his best to show a sense of ease and relief.
"Mengmian, you may not know that I have always been thick-skinned and tough. This little injury is really nothing to me." Su Jingsi said lightly, trying to ease her worries, "But I remember your words. I will be more careful and not let my 'Iron Man' image collapse in front of you."
After hearing this, Ouyang Mengmian's eyes flashed with helplessness and anger. She shook her head and said nothing more.
The taxi arrived at the hospital quickly, and Ouyang Mengmian took Su Jingsi straight to the emergency room. After the doctor examined Su Jingsi's wound, he was also shocked.
He frowned and said to Su Jingsi and Ouyang Mengmian with a serious expression: "Why is the wound so badly torn this time? It seems that it needs to be sutured again. If you still want your hand, please follow the doctor's advice: pay attention to rest, do not let the wound be stimulated in any way, and most importantly, do not touch the wound again, and do not let the wound get wet..."
Ouyang Mengmian's heart skipped a beat when she heard the doctor's words. She nodded repeatedly and promised solemnly: "Okay, doctor, we will strictly follow the doctor's orders this time."
The doctor looked at her, then at Su Jingsi, and seeing their serious attitude, he relaxed a little: "Okay, then you wait a moment, I'll prepare to sew the wound again."
After the doctor left, Ouyang Mengmian said to Su Jingsi solemnly: "Did you hear that? The doctor told you to rest well, not touch the wound again, and not let the wound get wet... You must listen to me this time and take good care of your wound."
Su Jingsi looked at Ouyang Mengmian's anxious and concerned eyes, and his heart was touched beyond words. In order not to let Ouyang Mengmian worry, he said anxiously: "Mengmian, don't worry. I will pay attention this time and won't let you worry again."
Ouyang Mengmian's frown relaxed a little, but she was still full of worry. She said softly, "I hope you can keep your word this time. Anyway, I will supervise you!"
Su Jingsi smiled gently. Although the pain from the wound was a little unbearable for him, his heart was warm at this moment.
Soon, the doctor prepared the instruments and materials needed to suture the wound again and walked into the emergency room. He carefully examined Su Jingsi's wound again and began to suture it. Although the whole process was short, it seemed like a long ordeal for Su Jingsi and Ouyang Mengmian.
Finally, the doctor sutured the wound and prescribed some painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs for Su Jingsi. He reminded him again: "Be sure to take the medicine on time, pay attention to rest and diet. The wound needs time to heal, don't rush for success."
Su Jingsi and Ouyang Mengmian nodded repeatedly, saying that they would strictly follow the doctor's instructions. They thanked the doctor gratefully, then left the emergency room and took a taxi back to their apartment.
