Chapter 205 Should Not Be Beared
Chapter 205 Should Not Be Beared
Chang Xingyu's already large, round eyes widened even more. However, after only a moment, as if resigned to her fate, she slowly closed her eyes. But the tears that kept flowing from the corners of Chang Xingyu's eyes showed no sign of stopping; instead, they flowed like a burst dam, more and more abundant, down her pale cheeks.
After a long time, their lips parted.
Chang Xingyu pressed her face against Zhang Jianjun's chest, and at that moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Before this, Chang Xingyu had been deeply conflicted, torn between Qiao Simei's influence and her confession to Qiao Sanli. She had struggled with the decision to stay or leave. But now, she had made her choice! For this lifetime! For this lifetime! Chang Xingyu had chosen Zhang Jianjun! Even if Zhang Jianjun had many women, even if he spent his days drinking, gambling, and womanizing, she, Chang Xingyu, would never abandon him!
"Don't go back today, stay here!" Zhang Jianjun pointed to the bed next to his desk. Due to limited resources, the clinic had provided the doctors with their original offices; the beds were brought in later. Zhang Jianjun was considered to have special privileges, as the other doctors were divided into two or three rooms.
Upon hearing Zhang Jianjun's words, Chang Xingyu's pale face flushed red. He didn't dare to look up and simply hummed in response.
Zhang Jianjun didn't hesitate; he picked up Chang Xingyu around the waist and gently placed him on the bed.
That night, the simple little bed bore a weight it shouldn't have had to bear!
After their intimate encounter, Zhang Jianjun didn't rest immediately. Instead, he went out to get medicine for Chang Xingyu. He held his breath the entire way, wearing full protective gear to prevent the virus from leaking out of his body.
Zhang Jianjun isn't afraid of getting sick; his physical strength has reached a point where he's immune to all poisons, and even AIDS might not be able to destroy his immune system. Of course, Zhang Jianjun won't test whether he can actually defeat AIDS.
He brought back all the tools and materials, and Zhang Jianjun also wrote a note explaining the situation.
Outside the rest room was the backyard of a clinic, which was now closed off, so Zhang Jianjun climbed out of the window and started a fire in the yard to brew medicine.
A moment later, they brought back a bowl of dark yellow-black medicinal soup, helped Chang Xingyu sit up, and fed her the bitter Chinese medicine. Chang Xingyu frowned; she liked sweets and disliked the taste of Chinese medicine.
Since Zhang Jianjun had no dessert, he kissed Chang Xingyu again. Although Chang Xingyu didn't get any dessert, he tasted the sweetness.
The next day, Chang Xingyu indeed developed symptoms: a hoarse voice, a yellowish complexion, red and swollen eyes, and he looked very weak.
Zhang Jianjun took meticulous care of Chang Xingyu, feeding him medicine and meals regularly. In the afternoon, he heard a knock on the door. Zhang Jianjun answered and waited for a while before going out and bringing back the food and medicine that Commander Lu had sent, as well as medical records of some special patients.
Although Zhang Jianjun cannot examine patients in person, he can still offer advice to doctors outside based on their symptoms.
That evening, Chang Xingyu's symptoms worsened. He had a high fever and felt cold all over, even when wrapped in a blanket.
Zhang Jianjun knew that Chang Xingyu was experiencing a struggle between cold and heat. So he sat on the bed and hugged Chang Xingyu. Chang Xingyu, still half asleep, also felt Zhang Jianjun's warm and broad chest, rested his forehead on Zhang Jianjun's neck, and nestled against him, and he really didn't feel so cold anymore.
Chang Xingyu's condition did not improve throughout the next day, but the good news was that it did not get worse.
Zhang Jianjun checks the medication multiple times a day and adjusts the dosage as needed.
By the fifth day, Chang Xingyu finally showed signs of improvement. But he also received bad news: both of his colleagues had tragically passed away.
For four consecutive days, Chang Xingyu was sometimes lucid and sometimes confused, and he was always very weak. So Zhang Jianjun didn't let Chang Xingyu get out of bed. He took care of Chang Xingyu like a paralyzed patient. Of course, Chang Xingyu was not much better off than a paralyzed patient.
But today, Chang Xingyu felt much better and refused to lie in bed and let Zhang Jianjun do it for him. He got out of bed to take care of his physical needs.
"You don't need to help me, I can manage on my own! Turn around!" Even though he had become Zhang Jianjun's man, Chang Xingyu was still not used to being watched while doing this, and blushed as he pushed Zhang Jianjun.
Seeing that Chang Xingyu was indeed feeling better, Zhang Jianjun was very happy. He smiled and nodded, but didn't leave; he simply turned away.
Chang Xingyu was quite confident when she squatted down, but when she tried to stand up, she couldn't get up after two attempts. Due to deficiency of both qi and blood, her legs were more prone to numbness. In just a short while, they were already completely numb.
"Jianjun, please help me out!"
…………
Shamao Lane.
Qiao Sanli was very anxious!
She hadn't been able to contact Zhang Jianjun for seven days. She had called the phone number Zhang Jianjun had asked Qiao Sanli to write down many times, and although someone answered each time, they always refused to answer questions about Zhang Jianjun, citing confidentiality. Even when she asked about Chang Xingyu, she received the same answer.
She was worried that something had happened to Zhang Jianjun!
Has the situation really gotten to such a serious point?
Could it be that everyone inside has been infected and is beyond cure?
Could the soldier be dead?
Qiao Sanli kept overthinking things; the less news she got, the more afraid she became!
I'm going to find him!
Qiao Sanli stood up and no longer refused Zhang Jianjun's car. She went to Wu Fenglan's house to get the keys, intending to drive to the hospital to find out where Zhang Jianjun had gone.
Wu Fenglan pressed down on Qiao Sanli's hand, "You can't go!"
If it were just a matter of driving out, Wu Fenglan wouldn't have stopped Qiao Sanli at all. Although she disliked Zhang Jianjun's favoritism, those were minor matters. Qiao Sanli was someone she had watched grow up, and although she didn't care for her as much as Zhang Jianshe did, she couldn't just stand by and watch Qiao Sanli go to a dangerous place!
"Xiaojun told me before he left that no matter what happened, he would come back! He told me to keep a close eye on you! Sanli, just wait a little longer! Maybe we'll hear from you tomorrow!"
Qiao Sanli raised her hand to wipe away Wu Fenglan's tears. "Aunt Wu, don't worry, I won't leave! I'll listen to you, the soldier will be alright!"
That day, Qiao Sanli stayed at Wu Fenglan's house instead of going back home. Although they were only separated by a wall, Qiao Sanli had never lived there since she grew up.
The two sat quietly in the main room, waiting for news.
At seven o'clock the next afternoon, Qiao Sanli couldn't sit still anymore. "Aunt Wu! I still want to go and see! Even if it's just a glimpse from afar! I just want to know how Brother Jun is doing!"
Just as Wu Fenglan was about to speak, the phone rang!
Both of them were taken aback!
Wu Fenglan quickly picked up the receiver, "Mom! It's Xiaojun!"
Wu Fenglan's tears welled up again. "You naughty child! Why haven't you called home for so long! You have no idea how worried your family is about you!" Wu Fenglan cried as she spoke, and her words became slurred, but Zhang Jianjun still understood her.
Seeing Wu Fenglan sobbing uncontrollably, Qiao Sanli took the phone, suppressing her own emotions, and said, "Soldier brother, this is Sanli. How are you doing?"
"I'm fine. Xingyu was infected a few days ago, but he's recovered now!" Zhang Jianjun briefly explained what happened.
Qiao Sanli whispered, "Then you must be careful!"
