Lan Xichen was suddenly shocked and looked at her in surprise.
"I thought you always loved Jia'er and thought you no longer loved me, so you left willfully."
Ye Qiaoxi lowered his head and murmured, "In these years of separation, I took Arthur alone and thought a lot. Time is like a two-way mirror, it will reflect the strengths and weaknesses of everyone, and
I saw my own cowardice and willfulness from that. I often regret, why didn’t I ask you personally to find out? However, I don’t have the courage to stand in front of you again. The longer time passes, the more I am afraid that the answer will hurt me.
Myself. Fortunately, I have Arthur. Seeing him grow up a little bit every day, that happiness and satisfaction have become my only spiritual support. For him, I must become a strong mother."
She raised her head and smiled, "Look, we are all growing, aren't we?"
The words that were about to burst out of her mouth were all condensed in her throat after seeing her still fresh and clean smile. Lan Xichen stood in front of her, stared at her quietly for a moment, curled her lips, and looked away, "Want to use it?"
Are these few words going to offset my own mistakes?" He sneered, lazily stretching his arms, waiting for something.
Ye Qiaoxi couldn't help but chuckle, and the little bird snuggled into his arms. Just like the first time she had close contact with him, her heartbeat accelerated in vain, and her cheeks were like red apples.
She is no longer the Ye Qiaoxi she used to be, and she will no longer be obsessed with asking for so-called answers. Because this embrace is still the same as before and has never changed.
Not far away, Arthur shuddered, feeling very cold about Mommy's little girlish attitude.
Lan Xichen hugged her tightly, and the softness in her arms made his heart palpitate just like it did a few years ago. A smile slowly appeared on Junhan's cheeks, this was his Xixi.
No one expected that a storm that was supposed to happen would turn into a soft spring breeze, gently and warmly, blowing through their hearts that had experienced trauma and despair. Through this embrace, miraculously,
The past pain has healed. Neither of them is in a hurry to ask what happened to the other. As long as they know that they can feel each other's hearts, it is enough.
In the stairwell, Zi Ye slowly turned around, with a happy smile on his lips, and slowly left.
To love her is to give her the blessings she needs.
A few hours later, the door to the operating room finally opened. The doctor walked out tiredly and took off the mask on his face.
Ye Qiaoxi and Lan Xichen hurried over and asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is she?"
The doctor's face looked a little solemn, "The bullet has been taken out, there is no danger to life. But..."
"But what?" The two people's nerves became tense.
"The bullet injured the spine, and I'm afraid it will... paralyze the lower limbs."
"No..." Ye Qiaoxi covered her mouth, tears flowing down uncontrollably.
Lan Xichen looked stern, and also couldn't believe the result, "She... what is the chance of recovery?"
"This will depend on her post-surgery recovery and ongoing rehabilitation. However, I hope you are mentally prepared. Once the spine is injured, it will be a protracted battle to stand up again.
"
Although the doctor's words were spoken euphemistically, the meaning was very clear. Whether he could stand up or not was unknown.
"Jia'er..." Ye Qiaoxi cried heartbrokenly and fell into Lan Xichen's arms, "She is still so young and so beautiful... How is this possible? It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be..."
Lan Xichen lowered his eyes, simply unable to imagine how such a straightforward and chic woman would spend her life in a wheelchair! He would never forget that she was shot because she saved him!

A few hours later, Situ Jia slowly opened her eyes and saw Ye Qiaoxi and Nina next to her. She showed a weak smile and said, "The King of Hell didn't dare to accept me..." Her voice was very low,
His voice was even hoarse.
Ye Qiaoxi's eyes were red from crying. He was afraid that she would see her. He picked up a towel to cover up and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, "You are so strong. Who dares to accept you?"
Nina also forced a smile, leaned over and said, "Sisi and I want to give you a bravery award, and we will give it to you after you recover."
Situ Jia chuckled, "It's great to have you here."
She moved her wrist, and the pinhole there felt a little uncomfortable. Suddenly, her expression became stiff, as if she was exerting force, and her brows knitted together. Finally, she turned her head hesitantly and looked at them, "Why don't I have any legs?"
Perception? Why can’t I move?”
Ye Qiaoxi's heart sank, but she still pretended to be fine, "Oh, you just had the surgery, so the anesthesia must not have worn off yet."
"That's right," Nina quickly helped, "you need to take a good rest now and take good care of yourself."
Staring at the red and swollen eyes of the two people, Situ Jia raised her eyes suspiciously, and a bad premonition came to her heart. She bit her lip, her eyes a little serious, "Xixi, tell me, what happened to me?"
"I told you it's okay..."
"I want to hear the truth."
Ye Qiaoxi and Nina looked at each other, and Nina looked away, unable to bear to listen any more. Looking into Situ Jia's eyes, Ye Qiaoxi took a deep breath, suppressed the tears that were about to burst into his eyes again, and said softly, "
The bullet injured your spine, and you just...can't stand up temporarily. Believe me, as long as you step up your treatment, you will be fine."
Situ Jia was stunned for a long time. His pale lips wriggled and he repeated mechanically, "Can't stand up? Am I... paralyzed?"
Ye Qiaoxi shook her head desperately, "No, no, no! How could you be paralyzed? It will be fine." At the end of her sentence, tears finally came out of her eyes.
Situ Jia looked at her blankly for a long time before slowly looking away, his expression could not be more calm, "This is God's punishment for me."
"Jia'er, don't think so, this is just an accident."
Situ Jia smiled and looked at her calmly, "Xixi, if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. It's fair."
"No, I don't allow you to talk about yourself like that." Ye Qiaoxi cried and hugged her gently, "Jia'er, you will always be our Jia'er. Let the past go."
Nina wiped away her tears and came over to hug the two of them, "Why are you so sad? Modern medicine is so advanced, what are you afraid of? Jia'er will definitely stand up again!"
"Yes!" Ye Qiaoxi nodded vigorously, "Jia'er, we will help you stand up together!"
Situ Jia held back his tears and looked at the two of them with a smile, "Look what I almost lost for the obsession in my heart?" There is nothing more touching than this kind of friendship.
