Tick tock, tick tock …
In the middle of the night, the sound of medical equipment was heard in the room. After the doctor walked out of the room, only her stepmother was left at the bedside. She was wearing a nightgown and carefully covering her with a blanket. A nurse walked past the window.
"The doctor said that you would wake up at night. You did."
"Oh, stepmother …"
"Your father has been in contact with the hospitals in England and America. He was called over just now. He should be here soon."
Her stepmother, who was like a sister to her, sat down at the bedside. "How do you feel now? Are you hungry?
Do you want some water?
You look like you've suddenly gained weight. "
She poked her swollen cheeks with her fingertips. Her skin sank into a small hole, then slowly floated up. "Does it hurt?"
"No."
Ya Han shook her head weakly on the bed and forced a smile. "It's about the same as usual. I just don't have any strength and it's a little bloated …"
"But you've become ugly."
"Whatever. No one came to see me …" Ya Han smiled weakly.
"Uh huh."
The aunty shrugged. After a moment, she remembered. "Who said no one came to see you? Your student came to see you in the afternoon."
"Huh?"
"That guy called Gu Jiaming. He's your student and your junior. You were still asleep at the time. Your father didn't want him to come over, but I remembered that he was close to you, so I asked him to come over. He brought a bouquet of carnations for you. I asked someone to put them in the living room."
"…" Her expression became a little complicated as she smiled. She opened her mouth, as if she didn't know what to say for a moment. "He … left?"
"Of course he left."
Xiao Ma nodded. "I chatted with him for a while. He's a good kid. Sigh. What impressed me was that although he didn't look like much, he didn't have the restraint of a normal student when I talked to him. Sigh. Is that why you can hang out with him?"
"Uh huh …" Ya Han smiled and said slowly, "He likes to pretend to be mature. He's a kid after all. He likes to pretend to be an adult … Did he say anything?"
"Uh … He's just asking about your condition and when you'll recover. He said that he'll come and see you when you're better."
"Wait until I recover …"
"Hehe, I even asked him about your boyfriend. In the end, he didn't know either. I thought that since you two are so close in private, he would at least know some clues. Could it be that this child deliberately didn't say anything?"
Ya Han naturally rolled her eyes and refused to answer such a question. However, she could not help but have mixed feelings in her heart. Just now, she said softly, "Little Mama, can you give me a mirror to take a look?
I want to see what I look like now … "
"Oh."
The housekeeper nodded. She took out a cosmetic box from the handbag beside her and opened it. Then, she showed the lens to Ya Han. "Actually, you just look very weak. Your face is a little swollen, but you look even cuter now."
"… So ugly." After looking at it for a while, Ya Han came to a conclusion about her current condition.
Such an ugly appearance was also seen by him … A faint sense of loss and disappointment surged in her heart. In fact, in front of Jiaming, when she wanted to run away from the marriage, her naked appearance after taking a shower had already been seen by him. Later on, she even squeezed and bumped into him under the quilt. However, at that time, she was confident in her appearance and showed others that she was satisfied with her appearance. Later on, she didn't care much about it. Now that he saw such an ugly appearance, she couldn't help but feel depressed.
Wait until I'm better … Hopefully, I can get better soon …
With this thought in mind, she forced herself to stay awake and chat with the housekeeper for a while. When she was about to fall asleep again, Zhang Jingan walked in from outside the room with a hint of joy on his face. When the housekeeper got up to greet him, the first thing he said was, "Good news. There's finally progress in New York …"
…
…
Originally, he had planned to have a frank and honest talk with Ya Han during this period of time. Some things were better explained and clarified. However, although he understood the reason, he could not think of any solution in his heart. Speaking of which, perhaps this plan of his was even more unnecessary.
When it came to matters of the heart, Seiji couldn't simply resolve them with guns or swords, which was a bit troublesome for him. When he went to the Zhang family's residence, Ya Han's deep sleep gave him some time to calm down. Seiji now had a deeper understanding of Minamoto no Yori Chakune's cowardice.
After leaving the Zhang family, he spent most of his time in the hospital. He delivered food to Shasha and visited Fumu every day.
After being shot three times, although Fumu's physical fitness recovered quickly due to her serious injuries, it would still take some time for her to fully recover.
Lingjing came to the hospital more often than Jiaming. Because of this incident, Sacred Heart College was on holiday. Lingjing stayed in the hospital every day, running back and forth between Shasha and Fumu's wards. Fumu, who was always silent and cold, had a lot to talk about when she was with Lingjing. She had always been pestered by Lingjing to teach her English. However, when she was alone with Jiaming, she was different. Often, Jiaming would sit by the bed and quickly peel an apple. Occasionally, he would say something, probably because he thought of something about the Dark World. Although the topic was bloody, when the bright sunlight shone in, Jiaming skillfully peeled a long strip of apple skin from the red Fuji apple and then chopped it into four pieces, no one would have guessed that the two of them were talking about such taboo topics.
In fact, Jiaming was rarely interested in peeling apples. Most of the time, it was Lingjing who peeled half of the apple and handed it to him. Most of the time, if the two of them were alone, they would not say anything after a simple greeting. They would sit together and watch the dark or bright sky, the leafless old tree branches, and the gray-green pine trees swaying in the wind. Winter was getting deeper. The windows in the intensive care unit were clean, and the air conditioner was always warm. Looking at the scene outside, it was a bit bleak.
It was not that Jiaming was unwilling to talk to Fumu or that he disdained to talk to her. It was just that both of them had dark backgrounds, so he felt that it was meaningless to talk nonsense. This was also a habit he had developed over the years. Speaking of which, Jiaming with the dark side had existed longer than Jiaming with the light side, and he was purer.
Sometimes, from an ordinary person's point of view, he might be really dull and difficult to get along with. Fumu certainly did not dare to have an opinion, but she probably thought so in her heart. After thinking about it for a while, she could not help but laugh. After all, Lingjing and Shasha had made him more and more like a normal person.
However, many years later, when this past was mentioned, it was only these simple moments that were engraved in the deepest part of her heart. At that time, she got close to Jiaming for some dark reasons. What she touched after that was often the dark and cold-blooded side of Jiaming. Later, she hoped for some ordinary things, but because Jiaming clearly distinguished his good and evil sides, she did not dare to show any unnecessary things that would be regarded as immature in the dark world. She tried her best to follow in his footsteps.
It was only at such moments that she could slightly feel Jiaming's ordinary side.
However, many years later, when she thought about it, the relationship between the two gradually changed from pure darkness to normal, and they could chat and interact like ordinary people. They had really experienced too much time and chaos, and had experienced too many things, blood and fire, joy and tears … This was a story for the future, so let's not talk about it for now.
Apart from these ordinary people's lives, Jiaming was secretly preparing for his trip to Tokyo. He recalled all the information he knew about Pei Luojia, analyzed, summarized, and speculated about the possible changes. During this time, he also sent a lot of information to Masanori Tianyu, asking him to confirm and correct it. During this time, the gunshot wound on his body also healed day by day.
However, as Masanori Tianyu's side, he did not approve of Jiaming going to Tokyo to take revenge. Pei Luojia was very powerful, especially now that they had made defensive preparations. Even if Tulip's fame and strength were higher than Minamoto No Yoritomo's, it was impossible for her to single-handedly take down Pei Luojia's headquarters and escape. For Masanori Tianyu, Jiaming had already shown his great strength by defeating Minamoto No Yoritomo and killing Ōuchi Chōnō and Gods No Thoughts. This time, he had provided him with information about Pei Luojia, which made him realize the great value of Jiaming. Whether it was out of goodwill or out of consideration for benefits, he hoped that Jiaming could be safe for now.
After more than ten days of rest, his body was already in good condition, and his gunshot wound was gradually recovering. Because he had decided to go to Japan, he went to the Zhang family again. However, Ya Han was also in a deep sleep. The stepmother received him for a while and said that Ya Han's condition had improved, and that she would be sent to the United States soon for more effective treatment. Jiaming thought for a while and decided to postpone this meeting until the two of them came back in good condition.
No matter what, direct weapons like swords and guns were the subjects he was best at.
However, a few days later, a phone call from Masanori Tianyu finally disrupted his plans.
"Regarding the incident with Gods No Thoughts, Pei Luojia has a preliminary plan to deal with it. Originally, they didn't want to do this, but … I heard that Ya Han sensei is going to the United States soon?"
"Oh, what does it have to do with her?"
"In recent years, Pei Luojia's headquarters have always had some animosity with the other branches. However, because they don't have much of a conflict of interest with the United States, they have always maintained a relatively good relationship with the North American branch. As you know, most of Pei Luojia's power in North America is in the United States. After they analyzed the incident with Gods No Thoughts, they came to the conclusion that you will definitely treat them as your enemy, and there is no way to ease the tension. Coincidentally, this information arrived at the right time, so they decided … Uh, my people just received the news today and immediately investigated it. Miss Ya Han seemed to have left on a private plane yesterday?"
With a bang, Jiaming hung up the phone.
In a room in Tokyo, Masanori Tianyu listened to the continuous monotone from the phone and couldn't help but smile. No matter what, even if the United States made a move, they couldn't mobilize the entire organization's power. It was much safer to deal with them than to rush into their headquarters directly.
"Good luck, Gu Jun. I'll cooperate with you here."
After muttering this sentence to himself, he began to dial another phone number. While he was at it, he picked up the document that he had been organizing for the past ten days or so. "Hello … Masanori Tianyu … Tell all the bosses to gather. I have something very interesting to show you all. Hmm, hehe … An early Christmas present. You'll definitely like it."
