Surrounded by a group of doctors in white coats, Su He was pushed into the Examination Room. Along the way, Su Xingju had no chance to reach out and touch the edge of his hospital bed. Shen Jingyu naturally fell to the back of the group, walking alongside Su Xing.
At this moment, Su Xing had a hundred things she wanted to say to him but didn’t know how to begin. Was this what it felt like to be shy upon returning home? Shen Jingyu seemed to have lost his voice as well; not a single word from their earlier conversation made it to Su Xing's ears.
As Su Xing's mood grew increasingly somber, Shen Jingyu finally spoke up to comfort her. "Su He is fine. I checked; it's just some superficial injuries. He'll recover in a few days."
Su Xing glanced at Shen Jingyu. His voice was unique, always carrying a hint of coldness, and he still lacked the ability to comfort others as he had in the past. However, his capabilities were remarkable; he could assess Su He’s injuries and had mobilized an entire team of specialists for a patient with mere flesh wounds.
Why? Su Xing's cherry lips trembled slightly, her gaze tinged with bitterness. Shen Jingyu looked at her with confusion. Did she want him to explain the medical condition? There was little for him to say about that.
Su Xing then asked directly, "Why did you come back into my life? Didn’t you leave so gracefully? You didn’t leave any traces behind; why return now?"
Was he here to disrupt the peaceful emotional life she had worked so hard to maintain?
Shen Jingyu met her watery eyes. "At that time, there were unavoidable reasons for my departure. Now that I’m back, there are special circumstances as well, but none of this will change my determination to marry you."
It seemed he had said the most important thing, yet to Su Xing's ears, it felt like nothing at all!
Su Xing continued to stare into his eyes, thinking: Why didn’t you confess before? You didn’t reach out during your absence, and now you return just to say you want to marry me? How am I supposed to respond to that?
The atmosphere between them grew tense once more until a soft voice accompanied by sobs broke the awkward silence.
“Jing Yu…”
At the end of the corridor on the special floor appeared a pale-faced Best Actress, Han Ruoxi, who was fully made up. Her patient gown seemed like high fashion; anyone unaware might think she was on stage.
It seemed she was your unspoken secret.
Su Xing shot a cold glance at Shen Jingyu’s heart.
Hearing the voice, Shen Jingyu turned his head, and an instant flicker of hostility appeared in his eyes. The atmosphere around him rapidly turned icy.
Yet Su Xing continued provocatively beside him in a low voice: “You have good taste; this girl is quite famous and seems worthy of you in every aspect. Look at her crying so pitifully—why don’t you go give her a hug and comfort her properly?”
Su Xing couldn’t even be bothered to look at her biological brother inside the Examination Room anymore; if these experts couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him, there was nothing else she could do.
As for this Best Actress putting on a show right here—it was rare indeed.
Su Xing couldn’t help but scrutinize Han Ruoxi; up close, she truly was captivatingly beautiful. Just look at how her wrist was bandaged with gauze tied in a bow—it almost seemed theatrical!
Han Ruoxi walked over step by step, glancing at Su Xing a few times but ultimately focusing her gaze on Shen Jingyu’s face.
Love unfulfilled reveals utter humility.
Han Ruoxi raised her bandaged wrist to her throat, and with that movement, the cloth quickly became stained with red. At this moment, she paid no mind to it.
Jing Yu, who are you? For her, you disregard my very existence?!
My heart aches; I can hardly breathe. For these five days, we have been together day and night. You were like a deity to me, holding up a sky of hope. But now, how can you tell me to just let go? Is our past together truly so insignificant?
Shen Jingyu furrowed his brows deeply and looked back at Luo Hao and Erin who were rushing over. He scolded, "Let the doctor rebandage your wound. Ruo Xi, stop this nonsense! Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to restrict your freedom."
Why?! Do you even care if I die?! Haven't we spent these five days happily together? Why did you suddenly abandon me? I don’t understand! I truly don’t understand!
Han Ruoxi felt herself swaying unsteadily; perhaps it was due to the loss of blood, for her complexion was indeed very pale.
Su Xing found it hard to listen any longer; she had no interest in observing the happiness that didn’t belong to her.
However, Shen Jingyu seemed to have eyes in the back of his head; he caught Su Xing trying to step back and immediately grasped her wrist tightly. He then clenched her hand in his fist.
Su Xing frowned while Han Ruoxi shed tears.
Shen Jingyu spoke quietly: "Ruo Xi, I won’t let you die. But our relationship has never been one that could be described as happiness. My feelings were given to someone else fifteen years ago. Taking care of you was a request from someone else. If my past actions have led you to misunderstand, then I won’t disturb your life anymore."
Fifteen years ago? Su Xing sensitively caught onto this timeframe; it coincided with when they first met. But during those ten years, she had not felt even a fraction of this man's affection.
Su Xing clearly did not register Shen Jingyu's subsequent explanation, as her mind had already strayed from the topic. Not disturbing me? What meaning does my life hold then?
As Han Ruoxi's emotions grew more tumultuous, her blood flowed more profusely. At this moment, Su Xing could no longer bear to watch the drama unfold and contemplated whether calling for a doctor would draw attention away from the situation.
Yet Shen Jingyu's hand held onto Su Xing's tightly while his thumb gently stroked her fingers in a way that made Su Xing's heart race and her skin prickle with tension.
"Ruo Xi, I won’t let you die. In the future, under my watchful eye, do not engage in such childish acts of self-harm," Shen Jingyu declared as if making a vow.
Su Xing couldn’t help but wonder what kind of relationship they shared.
Childish? Ha! You won’t let me die but also won’t let me live well—how cruel you are!
Suddenly, Han Ruoxi shot a glare filled with intense hatred towards Su Xing standing nearby.
It’s because of her! Isn’t it?! With that seductive look! What methods did you use to entice Jing Yu?!
"Shut up! Luo Hao! Take her away!"
The hostility radiating from Shen Jingyu startled Su Xing beside him as well.
Han Ruoxi was being pulled away by Luo Hao and Erin on either side; she suddenly broke free from their grasp and looked at Shen Jingyu with despair in her eyes as he tightly held another woman's hand—something she had never experienced herself.
Her voice was filled with sorrow. "Jing Yu, how could you protect her like this?"
Su Xing raised an eyebrow at the remark; wasn't this just shifting the blame?
"You dog of a man, how dare you use me as a shield?" Shen Jingyu retorted.
Despite everything, Su Xing had a keen sense of self-preservation. He had to speak up. "Ahem, Han Da Actress! Shen Jingyu and I have never been together, not even as friends. We haven't been in contact for five years."
He let go of the past so decisively; we probably all understood that feeling. This attitude of dismissiveness was quite characteristic of Shen Zi.
As for the happiness between them being disturbed, I certainly wouldn't take the blame for that!
"Shut up!" Shen Jingyu's suppressed anger surged to the surface after hearing her words. She mocked their ten years together and the five years of silence.
Ke Su Xing, however, was unaware that during those five years, Shen Jingyu had never stopped paying attention to her.
"Why are you yelling at me?!" Su Xing frowned at Shen Jingyu, her gaze filled with scrutiny and pride.
"Isn't it time to get your Best Actress some medical attention? If you keep stalling, she might bleed out!"
Shen Jingyu reined in his temper and shot a fierce glare at Luo Hao, who was standing by with a dazed expression, clearly trying to suppress laughter.
His gaze pressured Luo Hao into action, who reluctantly pulled Han Ruoxi away.
Shen Jingyu's focus returned solely to Su Xing. He grasped her wrist firmly and pulled her into his embrace with one hand while wrapping his other arm around her waist. With a forceful tug, he pressed his nose against hers.
Both Shen Jingyu and Su Xing could clearly hear Han Ruoxi's astonished gasp and her louder sobs nearby. But the weakened Han Ruoxi could only be forcibly taken away by the strong Luo Hao.
Shen Jingyu's eyes were filled with emotion as he stared at Su Xing. In his fury, he even managed a bitter smile. "Su Xing, you know exactly how to provoke me!"
But only you can stir my emotions like this, making my life feel so vibrant!
