Chapter 242 Professor, You Found a Treasure
The light of dawn slowly enveloped the earth like a veil, as if gently awakening the sleeping world, but Luo Jinxi and Cui Jiani were tightly entangled in a deep sleepiness.
The two of them snuggled together on the sofa, like two tired cats, and fell asleep in the quietness before dawn.
Jiang Chengyu couldn't fall asleep because of the helpless look in his eyes lying on the hospital bed. Mu Xiaoji's resolute departure was deeply engraved in his mind and could not be erased.
He lifted the quilt and slowly stood up. The hospital gown hung loosely on his tall body, making him look even more haggard.
His face was pale and his lonely expression was like a thick haze, with helplessness written all over his face.
He was like a lost child, walking barefoot, step by step to the door, each step carrying heaviness and confusion.
He opened the door gently, and only the slight creaking sound echoed in the silent corridor, and then he walked out.
He walked towards Ward 801 with ease, the familiar route seemed to be engraved deep in his soul. His movements were extremely light, as if he was afraid of disturbing the silence of the hospital.
He slowly opened the door of Ward 801, stood at the door, and looked straight at Mu Xiaoji lying on the big white bed.
Mu Xiaoji slept peacefully, his breathing even and steady, like a carefree baby.
Jiang Chengyu murmured in his heart: "Xiao Ji, I'm sorry; can you tell me what it will take for you to forgive me? I'm so tired, I really don't know what to do.
Xiaoji, I will go home and wait for you. I will go back and clean the house. Then I will make you some red date and black chicken soup. I hope you will not be angry with me when you come back. "
Only he could hear the silent moan. Then he closed the door gently and dejectedly, and walked straight to the elevator door like a lonely ghost.
The hospital was quiet, so quiet that it made people creepy. It was a silence that went deep into the bones, as if even the air had solidified.
Jiang Chengyu walked to the road and stood at the intersection to try to hail a taxi. Passing drivers saw Jiang Chengyu in a hospital gown and bare feet;
He looked a little weird, and everyone thought he had escaped from a mental hospital. They didn't want to get into trouble, so cars drove past him at high speed, leaving only a gust of wind whistling past.
Jiang Chengyu spread his hands, looked down at himself, and smiled bitterly at himself.
Shaking his head helplessly, he looked at the cars going away and had no choice but to walk barefoot towards home.
He looked at the dim street lights with a helpless look on his face. The lights gradually went out one by one in the dim light of dawn, just like the little bit of hope that disappeared in his heart.
Slowly, the morning glow spread out like the red paint in a painter's brush, and the sun rose from the horizon little by little, sprinkling golden light on the earth.
Jiang Chengyu walked on the viaduct, his lips were as white as paper, and his breath was as weak as a thread. He was still trying hard to stop a taxi, but still no car was willing to stop for him. He was like a person abandoned by the world.
In the spacious and bright VIP ward, the sunlight shone through the glass window like golden threads, sprinkling on the faces of the two beauties. The warm sunlight gradually awakened them.
Luo Jinxi stretched out her body and looked casually at the big white bed. Suddenly, her eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Where is he?"
Cui Jiani was startled awake by the sudden shouting. She quickly got up and saw that there was no one on the bed. She shouted, "Jiang Chengyu?"
Then, he rushed to the bathroom like a gust of wind, but it was empty.
Luo Jinxi asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Jiani, where will he go?"
Cui Jiani suddenly seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "Oh! Luo Jinxi, don't be nervous, he must have gone to the next door to look for Xiaoji!"
Luo Jinxi frowned and asked doubtfully: "Does Mu Xiaoji live next door?"
Cui Jiani nodded: "You forgot, when Dean Guo was hospitalized, the two of them were too busy to leave, so I arranged for them to stay in Room 801."
The two smiled at each other, with a hint of relief in their smiles, and then they walked out of the ward and headed towards the door of Room 801.
Cui Jiani knocked on the door gently, and the knock sound was particularly clear in the quiet corridor.
Mu Xiaoji was brushing his teeth in the bathroom. When he heard a knock on the door, he quickly rinsed his mouth, spit out some water, wiped his mouth, walked out and opened the door.
Seeing the two beauties, he smiled and said, "Good morning, both of you."
Cui Jiani said with a smile: "Seeing you like this, I feel relieved!"
Mu Xiaoji asked puzzledly: "Why should I be worried?"
Luo Jinxi smiled easily and said, "Of course it's because of your frail appearance!"
Mu Xiaoji smiled and replied, "I slept till dawn and felt full of energy. Have you two had breakfast? Let's go to the restaurant to have breakfast together."
The two said in unison: "No!"
Luo Jinxi teased: "Someone was shy and said he would treat us to a big dinner last night. We are waiting for you to treat us to a big dinner!"
Mu Xiaoji said angrily, "You little bitch, shut up now. I'll go after get off work at noon. You two can choose the place."
After saying that, Mu Xiaoji walked out of the room, took a few steps and turned back to say, "What are you standing there for? Let's go to the restaurant and have breakfast."
Cui Jiani asked in confusion: "Why don't you call your little monster out?"
Mu Xiaoji looked stubborn and refused to bow his head, "Why don't you two ask him to come with you?"
Cui Jiani said with a smile: "You two grown men are together, and you don't scream. Is it appropriate for us two girls to go in and scream?"
Mu Xiaoji's face was gloomy. "What are you talking about?"
Luo Jinxi approached Mu Xiaoji and said calmly, "Is your little monster with you?"
Mu Xiaoji didn't fully understand what Luo Jinxi meant, and nodded: "Yes, what's the problem?"
Luo Jinxi pointed at 801 and said with a smile: "Go in and ask him to come out, and we'll go to the restaurant to eat together."
Mu Xiaoji's face darkened instantly, "He's not in Room 801."
Cui Jiani didn't care about etiquette, and hurriedly opened the door of room 801 and ran in to look around. She said in panic, "He's gone."
Mu Xiaoji's face was full of questions: "Weren't you two with him the whole time last night?"
Cui Jiani didn't answer. She pushed the two of them away and ran straight to the elevator, with Luo Jinxi following closely behind.
As soon as he entered the elevator, Mu Xiaoji shouted, "Wait a minute," and then hurried into the elevator, and the elevator door slowly closed.
Cui Jiani quickly pressed the button for the top floor, and the elevator went straight to the top floor like an arrow. The three of them rushed out of the elevator and went straight to the monitoring room.
The security guard saw the person coming and hurriedly stood up and said, "President Mu, Dean Cui."
Cui Jiani nervously ordered: "Call up the surveillance footage from midnight to morning."
The security guards did not dare to neglect and immediately operated on the computer. After a while, the three saw Jiang Chengyu walking out of room 802 barefoot in a conspicuous hospital gown at about five in the morning.
Then he walked straight to the door of 801, gently pushed the door open, and stood at the door blankly for a few minutes, his eyes full of complicated emotions.
Then, he left dejectedly and walked towards the elevator. The scene switched to the hospital gate, where he kept hailing taxis, but one car after another whizzed past him and no one stopped for him.
Finally, he walked towards home. Cui Jiani and Luo Jinxi watched the surveillance video, tears could not help but slide down their cheeks, Cui Jiani angrily cursed: "You are really sick."
After cursing, she hurriedly left the monitoring room, and Luo Jinxi ran out after her.
The two of them walked straight to the parking space, and Luo Jinxi asked anxiously: "Jiani, where is he going?"
"I don't know, get in the car!" The two didn't say much. After getting in the car, Cui Jiani stepped on the accelerator and the car drove out of the hospital like a runaway horse.
They searched in the direction shown by the surveillance camera. Luo Jinxi's eyes kept searching outside the car window, not missing any possible place, his eyes full of worry and anxiety.
Jiang Chengyu set out early in the morning, step by step, as if he was waging a long and difficult struggle against time.
His figure looked so lonely and stubborn in the morning light, and every step he took seemed so heavy.
From the rising of the sun to the setting of the sun, the blood-red setting sun cast a long, shaky shadow on his weak body.
The long hours of walking and three days without food had already severely drained his physical strength. Every breath he took seemed to be pulling on the worn-out bellows in his lungs, making a labored sound.
His body was like a dead leaf drifting in the wind, which could be blown down mercilessly at any time.
Finally, he came to a big tree on the side of the road. The trunk was thick, but it could not shield him from the exhaustion of life.
His legs could no longer support him and he slowly fell down like a collapsing statue, with endless weakness and helplessness.
At this time, Cao Guohua's car was driving not far away. In the car, Cao Guohua closed his eyes and thought about the conditions and treatment plans of the wounded in the hospital.
The driver, Xiao Huo, was driving attentively, scanning the road ahead vigilantly.
"Professor Cao, there is a person in hospital gown who has fainted on the side of the road." Xiao Huo's voice broke the silence in the car, with a hint of nervousness in his tone.
Cao Guohua suddenly opened his eyes, looked out the window nervously, and asked anxiously: "Where is it? Stop the car and see what's going on?"
Xiao Huo immediately slowly drove the jeep closer to Jiang Chengyu and then stopped. Cao Guohua opened the door without hesitation and got out and walked over quickly.
He squatted down and reached out to pull Jiang Chengyu's arm. When he saw the other person's face clearly, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Jiang Chengyu? Jiang Chengyu..."
Jiang Chengyu seemed to hear someone calling him in his coma. He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were blurry and his lips trembled slightly.
He responded vaguely: "Professor Cao..." Before he could finish his words, he fainted again.
Cao Guohua frowned and asked worriedly, "Jiang Chengyu, why did you come out when you were sick?"
He stood up, looked around at the desolate countryside, and muttered, "There's no village in front of you and no shop behind you. Where are you going?"
Xiao Huo suggested, "Professor Cao, help him get in the car first! He'll freeze to death if he's dressed like this."
Cao Guohua nodded, and together with Xiao Huo, carefully helped Jiang Chengyu up, opened the car door, and placed him in the back seat.
After Cao Guohua got in the car, he quickly took a military blanket from beside his seat and gently wrapped Jiang Chengyu up, as if he was protecting an extremely precious and fragile treasure.
He said distressedly: "What's the matter with this child? Even if he came out of the hospital, he shouldn't be too careless to wear a pair of shoes! Do we have to be either disabled or injured before we can meet?"
As Xiao Huo started the car, he asked curiously, "Professor Cao, do you know him?"
"Well, he is also an authoritative doctor." Cao Guohua replied, his eyes revealing a complex emotion, including worry and recognition of Jiang Chengyu's medical skills.
Xiao Huo said with a smile: "Professor, you have found a treasure. Take him back to the military hospital. If you wake him up, he can help you treat the wounded!"
Cao Guohua nodded slightly and praised: "Xiao Huo! You hit the point this time."
Xiao Huo smiled shyly and said, "Professor Cao, I will learn a lot from following you. When I went home to visit my family this time, my grandmother said that my speaking skills have improved."
"Haha, it's a good thing to see progress!" Cao Guohua responded with a smile, but his eyes never left Jiang Chengyu's pale face. His heart was full of speculation and worry about his condition.
