Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 823 - 820: If We Didn’t Make a Racket, Would You Have Woken Up?

Xiao Qing ate half a bowl of porridge and pointed to the bed next to hers, "Nanny Zhang, I don’t need anyone watching over me at night. You should come here to sleep. You’ll need to be well-rested to have the energy to do other things."

"This..."

"Don’t worry, if I feel uncomfortable, I’ll call for you immediately."

It was only after Xiao Qing’s repeated insistence that Nanny Zhang agreed to lie down and rest.

In the quiet of the night, hearing the sound of even breathing beside her, Xiao Qing slowly opened her eyes. She glanced at the deeply sleeping Nanny Zhang, carefully got out of bed, and headed towards the ward Leng Yixing had mentioned.

The corridor was very quiet, with only two nurses seated at the consultation desk.

She slowed her pace, step by step, walking towards Lu Jinyang’s room.

Leng Yixing was coming out of the ward with his phone and immediately saw Xiao Qing walking toward him. He quickly said something into the phone and then walked briskly over to her.

"Why did you come over?"

"I wanted to check on Jinyang."

Leng Yixing sighed, said nothing in the end, and led her into the room.

In the ward, there were two beds. One bed had its blanket thrown back, a bit wrinkled; presumably, Leng Yixing had been sleeping here and went outside when the phone rang.

On the other bed, a man lay quietly, an IV hanging from his hand.

From Xiao Qing’s angle, she could only see his resolute features. As she stepped closer, she could see his tightly closed eyes and his bloodless lips.

Xiao Qing stopped, standing before the bed, staring at Lu Jinyang for quite a while. She spoke up, "How many bullets did he take in total?"

"...Five bullets."

Her heart tightened; five bullets, that must be so painful.

"Don’t worry. He’s past the danger period. Once he’s rested and wakes up, he’ll be fine." Seeing Xiao Qing’s tense face, Leng Yixing suddenly wanted to ease the tension, "These bullets are just minor injuries for Lu Jinyang. During previous missions, he once had three bullets taken out of one leg."

Three bullets in one leg?

Xiao Qing’s brows furrowed together, "Was it so serious?"

"Yes, it was very serious at that time, and his wound even got infected. Oh, do you remember that time on the mountain, when you bandaged him? If it hadn’t been for you, he definitely wouldn’t have recovered so quickly."

Leng Yixing suddenly thought of a question. When Lu Jinyang had stubbornly refused to go to the hospital then, it was unclear how his wound healed afterward. Yet now, he visits the hospital more frequently and seems less resistant.

Thinking back to when they first met, Xiao Qing’s eyes slightly moistened, "At that time, I didn’t know who he was, just saw him unconscious and alone in the mountain. No one was taking care of him. I just thought, if I also abandoned him, there would be one less soldier protecting my safety."

For some reason, Leng Yixing’s expression became somewhat sad.

"Yes, that day you even covered him with branches. We almost couldn’t find him," Leng Yixing said.

"Noisy!"

That voice is...

Leng Yixing and Xiao Qing exchanged a glance, both shocked beyond belief. They both turned to look at Lu Jinyang and saw that, at some point, Lu Jinyang had opened his eyes and was looking at the two of them.

His tightly shut eyes were now open and full of spirit, and the lips that had been pale and devoid of blood seemed to have been licked, now appearing a bit more moistened than before.

Xiao Qing sniffed and said, "If we weren’t a bit noisier, would it have woken you up?"
