BC Chapter 176

“……Although, um… I admit, your family is very rich. But… is it really necessary for two people to stay in a VVIP ward?” He Linglong held a half-cup of plain water in her hand, standing in front of the closed ward window, watching the central garden in the hospital downstairs where patients were taking a walk for a while, then turned her head again, frowning as she looked at Jiang Juncheng, who was leaning against her bed, fiddling with a game console.

This was the second day the two of them had been admitted here. As early as the day she left Qingshui City with He Linglong, Jiang Juncheng had shown her girlfriend what the “money power” of a rich family’s child was all about—yesterday, not only was their rescue route different from that of ordinary people, and they didn’t take the same kind of transportation, but He Linglong also experienced flying on a private plane for the first time in her life. This made He Linglong, a small citizen who had never experienced extraordinary treatment since she was a child, feel very flattered, and at the same time, a inexplicable “sense of guilt” arose uncontrollably in her heart, as if she had suddenly become the capitalist who was often criticized and rejected.

Therefore, in these two days, she had asked this kind of question, which Jiang Juncheng thought was completely useless, more than once.

“Are you trying to say it’s a waste? Or completely unnecessary?” Jiang Juncheng decisively threw the game console in her hand aside, smoothed her disheveled hair, hooked the half of her hair that was hanging in front of her face behind her ear with her fingers, her expression was normal, although facing He Linglong’s questioning, her emotions were not affected by the other party at all.

“Okay, come here, I’ll tell you why I chose to bring you to Shengan Central Hospital.” Jiang Juncheng beckoned, pushed the black swivel chair at the head of the bed to the bedside in front of her, and motioned for He Linglong to come and sit down.

He Linglong also turned to look at her. She originally thought that Jiang Juncheng would be angry because of her words, but seeing that she looked as usual at this moment, as if she didn’t care, she obediently walked over, put the cup in her hand on the table, and sat down in front of Jiang Juncheng.

“First of all, although I can apply for some privileges, in order to facilitate the management of the rescue workers, according to the other party’s requirements, we can only check in at a few hospitals that have been requisitioned as disaster relief sites. In this way, they can quickly find all the survivors rescued from Qingshui City, no matter what problems arise in the middle. Secondly, among these hospitals, only the Central Hospital has special care wards that can accommodate two people. Again, the VIP wards in this hospital are all single rooms and cannot accommodate both of us. Finally, you are now an object that needs key protection. If it’s just me, I can choose to squeeze into a ward with other people, but now that you’re here, I have to ensure that no one other than me can find out your secret.”

“Are you talking about… the virus?” He Linglong wasn’t stupid, she already understood Jiang Juncheng’s intentions as soon as the other party mentioned it.

Indeed, the identity of a virus mutant cannot be exposed at will. Not to mention whether it will cause disagreements within the government, at least if others know that there are still zombie virus remnants on her body, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not cause exclusion, framing and panic among others. At a time when everyone is so overwhelmed, the people in the organization are gradually losing the patience to do things step by step. If a person suddenly emerges at this time who is difficult to determine whether he is harmful to everyone, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not use some despicable means in order to quickly solve the problem.

And that is likely to endanger He Linglong’s life safety. Therefore, from the time when she had not fully met with the rescue team in Qingshui City, Jiang Juncheng had already planned what to do next in her mind.

So when facing He Linglong’s question, she didn’t say anything, just nodded solemnly. Afterwards, perhaps feeling that just nodding was not enough to express the seriousness of the matter in her eyes, she sighed, took He Linglong’s hand and placed it in her palm, and said in a low and firm voice: “Now that we have both escaped a disaster, I will not allow the same thing to happen to you again. Absolutely not.” And the moment on the rooftop when she thought she had lost He Linglong forever, that kind of unforgettable pain, she didn’t want to experience it again.

He Linglong’s heart fluttered, and an unusual warm current rippled on the surface of her heart, and then completely enveloped that small heart, making her whole soul seem to be cheering in an instant. That was the comfort and joy of knowing that the other party cared about her even more than she cared about herself, and it was also the first time in He Linglong’s life that she had a strong urge to kiss someone.

Maybe the thought in her mind came at an inopportune time, but she only felt that the current Jiang Juncheng was irresistibly charming.

So her body involuntarily leaned forward and closer, her lips lightly kissed those pink lips after breathing, the sweet breath mixed with the slightly warm skin touched each other, the atmosphere of uncontrollable emotion wrapped the two people’s close cheeks, and the heat gradually spread to the fair faces of who knows who, and then infected each other.

Oh, the words just now, in fact, Jiang Juncheng didn’t say everything—the reason for choosing here, her selfishness, was actually a foreshadowing for this moment.
