Chapter 140: I Need to Use the Bathroom
Zhang Qiu felt as if he had been in a long dream. After what seemed like an eternity, he groggily opened his eyes and looked around. Huh? Why was he back in the hospital room? He reached up to pat his head and suddenly remembered everything that had happened before. He had come to plead with Liu Xiaofei to spare Jiang Xue, and just when Liu Xiaofei was about to relent, Liu Xiaolong had burst in and disrupted everything. In a fit of anger, he had wanted to drag Liu Xiaolong down with him, but had collapsed from exhaustion. After that, Zhang Qiu couldn't recall anything.
Suddenly feeling something soft in his left hand, Zhang Qiu turned his head to look and saw Wang Jinghan quietly sleeping by the bedside, her soft hand clasped in his. Did she save him? He owed her so much. Seeing Wang Jinghan sleeping peacefully, Zhang Qiu didn't want to disturb her and closed his eyes again, lost in thought.
Jiang Xue, I’m sorry. This time, there’s really nothing I can do. Liu Xiaolong, Liu Xiaofei, I will personally kill both of you for revenge. As Zhang Qiu thought about revenge, he unconsciously tightened his grip. Wang Jinghan, who was dozing lightly, felt the pain in her hand and woke up immediately. When she lifted her head and saw him awake, joy spread across her face.
"You’re awake!" Wang Jinghan exclaimed as she grasped Zhang Qiu's hands.
Zhang Qiu smiled faintly. "Yes, I’m awake. Once again, I’ve troubled you."
Wang Jinghan pouted playfully and said, "What do you mean troubling me? We’re friends; isn’t it natural to help each other?"
"You're right; it is natural. I misspoke."
Wang Jinghan ignored that and continued, "Do you know how long you’ve been asleep? For a while, you kept calling Jiang Xue’s name."
Upon hearing Jiang Xue's name, the last trace of joy on Zhang Qiu's face vanished. Wang Jinghan quickly added, "Don’t be like that; you need to have a good mood for your recovery. You can’t exert yourself too much; just rest well so you can get better faster."
Zhang Qiu nodded. Wang Jinghan then asked, "While you were asleep, I didn’t dare make any decisions on my own. They stabbed you; should we call the police?"
Zhang Qiu suddenly laughed and pointed at his own stomach helplessly. "I did this to myself; it wasn’t them. With just those few people, they couldn’t hurt me."
Wang Jinghan was taken aback and asked anxiously, "Are you crazy? Why would you stab yourself?"
"Only if Liu Xiaofei speaks up for Jiang Xue will she have a chance to avoid imprisonment. No matter what it takes, I am willing to do it. Liu Xiaofei threw me a knife, and I was ready to stab myself."
Zhang Qiu's calmness stirred a storm in Wang Jinghan's heart. A man willing to die for a woman must mean that the woman is incredibly fortunate. It's no wonder Jiang Xue was willing to stab someone to save Zhang Qiu; they truly are a pair made by fate.
"Is Jiang Xue alright?" For some reason, Wang Jinghan felt that things were not so simple.
Zhang Qiu shook his head and said, "Just a moment longer, and Liu Xiaofei would have agreed. But then Liu Xiaolong suddenly barged in and disrupted everything." Zhang Qiu sighed and added, "Perhaps this is just fate." He held Wang Jinghan's hand tightly, filled with gratitude. "Thanks to you today, otherwise I would have been in danger."
Wang Jinghan's face flushed. "That's just your luck; I saw you when you arrived. You rushed straight towards the elevator, and I was worried something might happen, so I followed you. Who would have thought you didn't even take the elevator and climbed the stairs instead? By the time I caught up with you, you were already like this."
Wang Jinghan lightly punched Zhang Qiu and scolded him, "You're still laughing! Do you know how frightening that was? That was a knife; you stabbed yourself! Are you crazy?"
"I've been practicing martial arts for a long time; I know where the vital points are and specifically avoided them," Zhang Qiu replied proudly. Practicing martial arts since childhood had always been a source of pride for him, especially as it had come in handy recently.
"Regardless, there better not be a next time!" Wang Jinghan raised an eyebrow and lifted her fist again.
Zhang Qiu quickly waved his hands in surrender. "No more, no more."
Wang Jinghan pressed down on Zhang Qiu's flailing hands and tucked them under the blanket, commanding in an undeniable tone, "Don't move around; lie down and rest!"
Zhang Qiu had no choice but to obediently lie on the bed.
The two of them looked at each other in silence, simply gazing into one another's eyes. After an unknown amount of time passed, Zhang Qiu noticed that the light in the room had dimmed, and there was no sunlight outside anymore. He asked Wang Jinghan, "What time is it now?"
Wang Jinghan took out her phone to check and replied, "It's past six."
Zhang Qiu was about to get up when Wang Jinghan pressed him back down onto the bed and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Qiu looked at Wang Jinghan with his innocent big eyes and said, "I'm going home. At this time, dinner must be ready at home waiting for me."
Wang Jinghan still held Zhang Qiu down, not allowing him to get up. "Call your family and make up any excuse; just don't go back. I haven't told your family about your injury, and I've already paid the bills. You just stay here and rest; I'll take care of you."
You’ll take care of me… Zhang Qiu felt a bit embarrassed by Wang Jinghan's words, but he still wanted to go home. He could clearly feel that his wound no longer hurt, and school was starting soon. As the president, he had to be present for everyone in the club who was waiting for him.
Despite Wang Jinghan's unwavering gaze, Zhang Qiu insisted, "I have to go back. School starts tomorrow, and my brothers need me. This is really important to me; trust me, it’s crucial."
"Is anything more important than your own health? This is a knife wound, not just a scrape or bruise. The doctor said it didn't hit any organs, but the wound is deep and needs rest. You should listen to the doctor's advice while you're in the hospital," Wang Jinghan argued relentlessly.
"Alright, alright." Zhang Qiu reluctantly lay back down. After a while, he suddenly said, "I need to go to the bathroom..."
Wang Jinghan's face turned red. "Wait here; I'll find a male doctor."
Just as Wang Jinghan was about to get up, Zhang Qiu grabbed her arm and smiled, "I can't wait; help me up, and I'll go myself."
Wang Jinghan paused for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said, "Fine." She walked over to the side of the bed and slowly helped Zhang Qiu sit up while reminding him, "Take it slow; don’t rush; be careful with your wound."
Zhang Qiu moved cautiously, afraid of reopening his injury. After sitting up, he realized there was no pain in his abdomen. He tried moving a bit more and felt fine. However, Wang Jinghan smacked him lightly on the arm and scolded, "What are you doing? Don’t move around so much! Come on, I’ll help you get out of bed."
Zhang Qiu extended an arm and let Wang Jinghan support him as he stood up. Once on the floor, he felt a slight discomfort in his abdomen but adapted after taking a couple of steps. Wang Jinghan watched him closely and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Zhang Qiu shook his head. "No."
"You're kidding, how could it not hurt... Sigh, walk slowly!"
Standing at the bathroom door, Zhang Qiu looked at Wang Jinghan, who lowered her head with a flushed face and softly said, "Go in, don't look at me."
Zhang Qiu smiled slightly. "I'll go in by myself; I can manage."
Wang Jinghan raised her head to look into Zhang Qiu's eyes and firmly said, "No! You can't!" Then she supported Zhang Qiu and walked into the men's restroom, which made Zhang Qiu feel a bit embarrassed. Fortunately, there was no one in the restroom. Wang Jinghan helped Zhang Qiu and closed her eyes, saying, "Hurry up; tell me when you're done, and I'll open my eyes."
Zhang Qiu nodded, unzipped his jeans with one hand, and undid his belt. After standing there for a moment without any movement, Wang Jinghan asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm nervous with you here; I can't go."
Wang Jinghan felt teased and was both angry and embarrassed as she pinched Zhang Qiu's waist. Since her eyes were closed, she accidentally pinched near Zhang Qiu's injury.
"Ah..." Zhang Qiu gasped as the sudden pinch affected his wound, causing him to take a deep breath and instinctively cover the injury with his hands.
Hearing Zhang Qiu's gasp made Wang Jinghan realize something was wrong; she might have touched his wound. Regretting her actions, she thought to herself that as an injured person, she shouldn't have acted so recklessly. Suddenly feeling the arm resting on her shoulder pull away, Wang Jinghan opened her eyes in panic, fearing that Zhang Qiu might fall. She quickly stepped forward to support him.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry, I'm sorry." While helping Zhang Qiu, she checked his injury. When she looked down, she froze suddenly, her cheeks turning bright red as her heart raced. Zhang Qiu also sensed something was off and hurriedly covered himself with his hands, unsure of what to think or do.
Wang Jinghan blushed as she examined Zhang Qiu's injury. Seeing that there was no bleeding relieved her. She told him, "Stop covering up; I've seen everything as a medical student. If you need to go, just go."
Zhang Qiu had held it in for too long; he had been too nervous to go before but now that he was exposed, he felt less anxious. With a rush of sound, it all came pouring out.
With one hand occupied, Wang Jinghan took the belt to help Zhang Qiu adjust himself and suddenly joked, "You've got quite a bit of strength!"
Zhang Qiu's face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Let's go back quickly."
Wang Jinghan smiled and supported Zhang Qiu as they walked out of the restroom. Zhang Qiu stopped and said, "I want to try walking by myself."
However, this only made Wang Jinghan grip him tighter, looking at him as if facing a great enemy. "You've lost too much blood and your body is weak. What if you fall? Do you still want to get better?"
"Don't you still have to take care of me?" Zhang Qiu said with a cheeky smile.
Wang Jinghan rolled her eyes at him. "Do you think I want to? I don't want to take care of you; it's delaying my work. I won't get the full attendance bonus this month. I was planning to buy a bag."
"I'll buy it for you."
Wang Jinghan smiled but didn't respond. That bag costs a thousand yuan; how could a high school student afford it?
"Let me try walking by myself. I feel like I can do it. I'm begging you," Zhang Qiu insisted.
