When Cai Qiang heard her words, he actually laughed and said, "How can that be possible? I am so handsome and diligent in exercising, how can I be stabbed to death by a small piece of glass."
"Come on, we're just two millimeters away from cutting the artery. I'll see if you're still tough then." Tao Yunling rolled her eyes at him angrily, and after a while she said to him again: "Aren't you stupid? It's useful.
Are you so desperate? Even if I am your employer and the one who pays you wages, you don’t have to risk your life to protect me. It’s not worth it.”
"It's worth it." Cai Qiang lay on the bed, turned his head, and looked straight at Tao Yunling.
Tao Yunling was slightly startled, glared at him and said, "What's it worth??"
"Look, I'm not dead now, and I've even risked my life to protect you. Are you particularly moved? When you are moved, do you want to give me a salary increase??" Cai Qiang asked Tao Yunling with a playful smile.
"..." Tao Yunling twitched her lips after listening to his words, and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
The ward was quiet for a moment. Cai Qiang looked at Tao Yunling who was sitting next to his bed. She was still wearing last night's pajamas, her hair was messy on her head, and her beautiful eyes, which were usually full of hope, now looked bright red.
Yes, just like a rabbit, there were many traces of glass scratches on her exposed arms and calves. Those red or purple scars looked particularly shocking on her white and tender skin.
She looked very embarrassed in front of him, but for some reason, he thought she was extremely beautiful like this.
After a while, Cai Qiang sighed softly and said: "Okay, don't worry about it. You gave me this life. Even if I risk my life for you, it doesn't matter."
Tao Yunling turned her head, looked at him with furrowed eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean, you mean this life was given to you by me? I'm not your mother..."
"I knew you didn't remember..." After hearing what she said, Cai Qiang couldn't help but smile.
"Remember what??" Tao Yunling looked at him blankly.
"We were in the same high school before." Cai Qiang said casually while lying on the pillow, looking at the ceiling.
"Huh??" Tao Yunling twitched the corner of her mouth and said with an expression of disbelief: "Really or not, why don't I remember that there is someone like you in our grade?"
"Because we are not in the same grade." Cai Qiang turned his head, looked at Tao Yunling, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "At that time, you were a senior in high school and I was a freshman in high school. When I first entered high school, I was very short.
I was quite thin, and because of my poor grades, I was often bullied by the gangsters in the class. Once, for some unknown reason, the gangsters in the class looked very unhappy with me, so they dragged me to the back of the laboratory building.
A group of people surrounded me, beating me and making fun of me. At that time, if you hadn't appeared to stop them, I don't know how long they would have beaten me."
"Is there such a thing??" Tao Yunling listened to his words and felt confused.
"Of course you don't remember." Cai Qiang smiled and said, "But I always remember that the sky was very blue that day, and the way you walked away from those people in your school uniform and skirt and handed me a bottle of water was so beautiful.
"
"Ha." Tao Yunling smiled sheepishly, but couldn't help but said venomously: "I never thought that Brother Qiang was a weakling before."
"Later I heard that you went to film a movie, and the company was looking for bodyguards. Anyway, my grades were not good, and besides, I suddenly grew a lot taller during my sophomore year of high school. So I just exercised every day and applied for the job." Cai Qiang stretched out his hand.
, scratched his head, "Just like this, I've been by your side for many years."
"..." After Tao Yunling heard what he said, she didn't say anything for a long time. Finally, she let out a long sigh and said, "Yeah, it's been almost twenty years."
"So, what I said last night was all serious." Cai Qiang said, his tone suddenly became serious and said: "If you want to get married, I will marry you."
"You..." Tao Yunling looked at him and felt that a corner like an iceberg deep in her heart was slowly melting, "You clearly know that I have spent these years trying to get the upper hand..."
"Then do you regret it??" Cai Qiang suddenly interrupted her and asked.
Tao Yunling was slightly startled, hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said, "I don't regret it...if I was given another chance, I would still step on those men all the way here."
"Yes, there is nothing to regret. You are still you anyway, and I like you like this." Cai Qiang smiled at her and said: "Anyway, you don't have to agree in a hurry. When you want to get married, I will
I can marry you anytime."
"..."
Tao Yunling stared at him for a while, then turned her head and stopped talking.
There was another moment of silence in the ward. Just when he thought she wouldn't respond, he heard her suddenly say in a low voice: "Okay, after you recover from your injury, we will go get the certificate."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cai Qiang had already sat up from the hospital bed, pulled out the drip on his hand, and was about to get out of bed.
"What are you doing?" Tao Yunling quickly stood up and reached out to hold him down.
"Let's go get the certificate now!"
"Your injury hasn't healed yet."
"It's okay to be injured like this. I usually exercise regularly and feel better now."
"no."
"It's really okay..."
"It won't work if I say no..."
"real……"
"I told you to lie down, how dare you sit up again and show me!?"
"Oh..." Cai Qiang could only lie down obediently.
Tao Yunling looked at his miserable look and finally couldn't help but laugh.
"When I recover from my injury, I will go get the certificate."
"Um."
"You have thought about it, but don't regret it."
"Uh-huh."
“Have you really thought about it??”
"If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I will beat you to death on the spot!?"
"..."
