Gong Ou sat on the wheelchair and looked at her steadily.
There was a long silence.
Shi Xiaonian became a little uneasy, "If you're angry then just scold me, after you're done scolding you, you'll be comfortable."
He needed to vent his emotions in such a way that he shouldn't hold his emotions in.
After a long while, Gong Ou opened his mouth and stared at her, his voice low and magnetic, "I'm not angry, I'm just thinking, maybe you're right."
"What?" Shi Xiaonian did not understand.
"Respect for life."
Gong Ou threw out four words, these words were coming out of his mouth like a physical education teacher suddenly throwing out a great philosophical proposition, causing everyone to be stunned.Shi Xiaonian looked at him suspiciously, not understanding why he would suddenly say these four words, "You …"
Gong Ou reached out and caressed her long hair as his fingertip brushed against her forehead. "You just woke up, rest a bit more.
"Do you have something on your mind?"
Shi Xiaonian looked at him worriedly."You are the only thing on my mind, as long as you live well in the future." Gong Ou stared at her, his voice low and harsh, "Don't try to break your promise."
Shi Xiaonian laid there watching his injured face, then nodded, "Alright."
She would never let him hurt her again. Never.
Shi Xiaonian experienced premature delivery, bleeding, and a life and death struggle. Although her body was extremely weak, she recovered well after a few days of recuperation.
She could sit up in bed and start filling in some non-liquid food, and her face was much better.Compared to Gong Ou, she seemed to be recovering even faster. He had a gunshot wound on his waist and did not receive the most prompt treatment.
turned his head to look, only to see another row of cellophane crane s hanging at the window.When the wind blew, the paper crane lightly bumped against it, reflecting countless colors under the sunlight.
Those paper cranes were made in a very ordinary way, really in a very ordinary way.
Shi Xiaonian smiled, she looked around the quiet room, but Gong Ou was not there, it was rare for her to be able to walk around.
She sat up from the bed and hit her shoulder. Lying there all the while, she also felt pain in her back and waist, Gong Ou himself refused to sleep in the bed, but forced her to lie down every day.
Shi Xiaonian stretched out her legs and got off the bed. Once she stepped on the floor, her legs became weak and her head started to feel dizzy. She immediately supported herself on the cabinet beside her.It had been too long since he had stepped down, and even his feet were weak.
Shi Xiaonian stood for a while before she felt her Qi and blood surge, making her feel more comfortable. She casually tied up her hair that was in a mess sleeping, then walked out.
How many days had it been since she had the chance to see the pumpkin?
Shi Xiaonian pushed the door and walked out. She was still staying at the house of the scar-faced woman, and after a fierce battle with Lancaster, neither she nor Gong Ou could move. The Gong Jia quickly sent a large number of people to guard the house.
Lancaster was also moving forward, but there was no movement. It was probably because of the previous battle that their vitality had been greatly damaged and they didn't have any morale.
Shi Xiaonian walked out of the room and slowly walked down. She didn't know which room pumpkin was placed in, but when she looked down, she saw Gong Ou sitting alone in the middle of the hall with a tablet computer in his hands. The air was filled with floating holographic information.
So it turns out that he was in the hall. Then how could she see the pumpkin?Shi Xiaonian wanted to sneak back into her room and continue being an obedient Mrs. Gong. Suddenly, Feng De's voice came from downstairs, "Young master, you have read this list for a long time, I will take off my computer."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian stopped on the stairs and looked down. What floated in the air were many photos, although she was not familiar with them, she could recognize them all.
It was the bodyguards who had come with them to District 13.
Shi Xiaonian's eyes dimmed. Her body was slightly better and she pestered Feng De to ask a lot of questions. Only then did Feng De tell her that in order for Gong Ou to come back and take a look at her, the bodyguards who were supposed to have already removed their safety had collectively decided to return.
Lancaster had set up defenses in Area 13. In addition to the reinforcements that came to pick up her, the number of people was far more than the Gong Jia. They had collectively attacked the underground passage.She wanted everyone to leave because she knew the disparity in strength, but for her and Gong Ou, forcefully returning once again, the result was good. With the small victories, her morale was boosted and she completely annihilated Lancaster's people in Area 13.
However, the result was also sad. There were only seven who survived, and all of them were injured.
The severity of the battle was beyond her imagination as she lay on the operating table.
"…"
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou downstairs and saw him quietly staring at the pictures by himself. Although she couldn't see his face, she felt that Gong Ou was greatly moved this time.
Ever since he was young, he had lived amongst the aristocrats, and the first education he received was to distinguish the classes. In his eyes, there were only people and people he cared about.
How could such a person say the words "respect life" in front of her? When these bodyguards followed him back to the underground water tunnel, he must have been shocked.
Feng De said that because it was of his own free will, everyone used their lives to fight for it. No one wanted to live to the end in order to win by a large margin.Thinking about this, Shi Xiaonian slowly walked down the stairs. When Feng De saw her, she was slightly surprised.
Shi Xiaonian walked towards Gong Ou and gently tapped on the tablet computer, and kept all the pictures. The air was empty, there was nothing left.
Gong Ou turned his head in dissatisfaction as he saw Shi Xiaonian standing there, and he became even more dissatisfied, "Why did you get down? Who allowed you to get off the bed! "
Seeing that, Feng De picked up the tablet computer and turned to leave.
"I know you're feeling terrible, but you're still injured, so don't be too sad." Shi Xiaonian stood there and said gently.Gong Ou turned his face away, and said coldly: "How could I have the time to be sad for others, you're thinking too much!"
If she wasn't sad, why would she sit here and watch these photos instead of accompanying her?
Did he think she was stupid or blind?
walked to the side of the chair and sat down, then said while looking at his grave and stern face, "At that time, I simply couldn't stand it if too many people sacrificed themselves for me. I didn't think I was that noble, and that I needed them to pay so much of their lives to save me."
Hearing this, Gong Ou's gaze froze, he slowly turned his head to look at her, then opened his thin lip slightly, "You should hate me, I arranged all of this."
"At that time, I only knew how to hate myself." Shi Xiaonian laughed bitterly.
"…"
Gong Ou looked at her in silence, his eyes filled with awkwardness. He had to admit that there were some reasons that only he could understand at this age."I don't dare to blame anyone because it's all for my own good. Actually, I don't want to harm anyone. Yet, things just happened like that." Shi Xiaonian's hands were intertwined as he raised his eyes to look at Gong Ou's face.
What she said was also what Gong Ou was currently thinking. When a group of people was risking their lives for you, how could they not be moved?
"But after this, I survived the operation. No, I survived in that damp and cold stone chamber. I have thought it through a lot." Shi Xiaonian said lightly.
"Think through what?"
Gong Ou asked, his black eyes staring straight at her.
"Guess." Shi Xiaonian smiled faintly.
"…" Gong Ou's face darkened. Was there really any point in joking with him at this time?
The smile on Shi Xiaonian's face deepened as she said softly, "In truth, no matter how much I blame myself, forcing myself to become crazy is useless. I can't exchange for their lives, the only thing I can do is to not let them waste any of their effort.
Hearing that, Gong Ou finally understood that Shi Xiaonian had turned a corner to console him. His expression did not turn better, it became uglier and uglier.Seeing him being so worried, Shi Xiaonian said, "Gong Ou, don't trap yourself like me."
She was too clear about the kind of mental torture she had experienced at that time. She didn't want Gong Ou to become like the her at that time.
"I'm not like you." Gong Ou said coldly.
"…"
After a moment of silence, Gong Ou stared at her and added, "I just hate myself, why didn't I use those words to tell you before?"
She said it very well.
But when she needed it the most, he didn't say it.
Shi Xiaonian stood there in a daze, "Gong Ou, that was the past. You have to be fine too. "
Don't trap yourself, don't go out.
"I know what I'm supposed to do." Gong Ou said in a deep voice, "Defeating Lancaster is the best answer to that, but..."
"But what?"
Gong Ou looked at her deeply, and said with a low voice, "But I will no longer treat anyone's life as just a step on the chess board."
"…"Shi Xiaonian looked at him in surprise. She did not expect Gong Ou to say something like this, maybe this time, they had all experienced a life and death test.
She had always thought that many of their thoughts ran counter to each other. She had never expected that they would meet one another one day.
Shi Xiaonian caressed his face and smiled: "Look, we Gong Ou have grown up."
What the hell was with her son's prideful tone?
"Go away." Gong Ou pushed her hand away with a darkened face.
Shi Xiaonian did not have much strength to begin with, his entire body was weak. After being pushed like this, his entire body was pushed to the side. Gong Ou immediately grabbed her and looked at her in fear, "How are you doing? Feng De! Call for a doctor! "
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Shi Xiaonian immediately waved her hand and said, "I just don't have any strength, I'm fine."
"Who told you to get off the bed, go back!"
Gong Ou was about to hug her when he realized that he was still sitting on the wheelchair. He couldn't even carry her and slapped the wheelchair in annoyance, "Damn it!"
