love and pain

Chapter 62·Love and Pain

Qi Zhixuan was floating in the air, and the clouds under him were as soft as cotton. Where was this?He curiously stretched out his fingertips and touched the clouds under him. Suddenly, all the clouds began to collapse. He lost all support and fell rapidly from a high altitude.

The weightlessness of his body made him panic. He grabbed randomly in the air with his hands, but only caught a piece of nothingness. As he fell, a picture exploded in front of his eyes. He saw Pang Whale rushing into the fire scene, shouting his name loudly, and saw the fire scene explode. Pang Whale was still struggling inside. This explosion scene overlapped with the scene of the explosion before his father’s death. Qi Zhixuan had heart palpitations and was so painful that he couldn’t breathe.

“Ah——!”

Qi Zhixuan screamed suddenly, the darkness in front of his eyes faded, and what he saw was a pale ceiling.

“Xiao Xuan! You’re awake!” Zhu Mingyue stood by the bedside. Seeing that he finally opened his eyes, she cried with joy. She immediately rang the bedside bell, but because she didn’t think it was fast enough, she ran outside the ward to call someone.

“Xiao Xuan, how are you? Are you still in pain?” Chen Runsong saw Qi Zhixuan getting up and immediately came over to help him. He and Zhu Mingyue took turns guarding him. Qi Zhixuan’s head was hit and his head was concussed, and his body was still soaked with blisters. He had been having high fevers repeatedly in the past few days, which was really scary.

“Where’s Pang Whale? Where’s Pang Whale?” Qi Zhixuan looked around the ward and panicked when he didn’t see the familiar figure.He pulled out the infusion needle from his hand and was about to get out of bed with his bare feet, but his body swayed because he was too weak. Chen Runsong quickly grabbed him, but he struggled to get away, his eyes full of eagerness.

At this time, Zhu Mingyue hurried over with doctors and nurses, and Chen Runsong had to comfort him and said: “Pang Jing is right next to him. You check first, and I will take you there after the check is completed, okay?”

Qi Zhixuan looked at Chen Runsong in panic, and Chen Runsong had to repeat it again. Then he slowly stopped shaking, nodded and allowed the doctor to come forward to check.

The results of the examination are quite optimistic. The fever has subsided and the wound is slowly healing. However, the body is still weak and needs to be hospitalized for observation and continued infusion treatment.

“Take me there.” Qi Zhixuan finished seeing the doctor and took Chen Runsong to find Pang Jing.

Chen Runsong frowned and turned to look at Zhu Mingyue. Zhu Mingyue slowly sat down in front of Qi Zhixuan’s hospital bed with an ugly look on her face and took his hand. She said carefully: “Xiao Xuan, Xiao Pang… After you came out, the turpentine… exploded… Didn’t it just explode in one bottle? The temperature was too high and they exploded together…”

“What’s wrong with him!” Qi Zhixuan became more and more panicked as he listened, his voice trembling.

“The place where he was staying was hit. His head was hit by a cement block. His condition is not very good. He is in the ICU and he is not awake yet.” Chen Runsong saw Zhu Mingyue hesitating and was afraid that Qi Zhixuan would become more anxious, so he simply spoke out in one breath.

Qi Zhixuan’s blood seemed to have gone cold in an instant. How…how could this happen… He had clearly promised himself that he would come out alive.

“I want to see him.” He lifted the quilt, struggled to get out of bed, and walked out regardless.

“Xiao Xuan!” Zhu Mingyue quickly grabbed him, “His parents are guarding outside the ICU, and he is not in a good mood… You haven’t recovered yet, why don’t you take it easy for two days?” She had been there several times, and every time she was overwhelmed by the heavy atmosphere outside the ward.Pang Jing’s mother was very excited every time. After all, her child did this to save Qi Zhixuan, and she didn’t want her younger brother to be pointed at and scolded before he recovered.

But Qi Zhixuan just wanted to see Pang Jing immediately. Meihua and the others were here, so he should go.

Zhu Mingyue couldn’t resist him after all, so she had to ask the nurse to borrow a wheelchair and push him to the ICU ward.

Before they reached the place, Qi Zhixuan asked her to stop, and he slowly stood up from the wheelchair and walked over. He had lost a lot of blood and had a concussion. He had just woken up, and he didn’t have much strength at all. He was swaying. Zhu Mingyue wanted to help him, but he raised his hand to refuse.

He moved forward step by step, and every time he took a step forward, his heart ached…

When he walked to the door of the ICU, Qi Zhixuan saw Meihua and Pang Wei at a glance. The visiting time had not yet come and they were waiting outside.

“Uncle, aunt.” Qi Zhixuan walked up to them and called softly, his voice hoarse as if he had just woken up.

Meihua raised her head, and the moment she saw him, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, including anger, exhaustion, and even more haggardness that could not be concealed. Her red and swollen eyes made her usual brightness fade a bit. She did not respond, turned her face away, and avoided his gaze.

“Xiao Qi is awake? Are you feeling better?” Pang Wei spoke first, his tone sounded calm, but he could not hide the tiredness in his eyes.

Qi Zhixuan nodded, his eyes fell back on Meihua, and he slowly moved in front of her.

“Auntie…” Qi Zhixuan called softly again. Last time they were in the cafe, Meihua asked herself to take good care of Pang Jing, but… it ended up like this, all because of herself…

Guilt and self-blame imprisoned Qi Zhixuan like invisible shackles, as if a sharp knife would be stuck in his throat for his crime in the next second.

“I’m sorry.” Qi Zhixuan suddenly knelt down in front of the Meihua couple, his knees colliding with the ground and making a dull sound.

Zhu Mingyue followed behind and opened her mouth to say something, but it seemed like she was being strangled by something, so she could only swallow it back.

“It’s all because of me… If it weren’t for me, Pang Whale wouldn’t be like this.” His voice trembled, tears falling uncontrollably, “I’m sorry, uncle and aunt, I’m really sorry.” He knew that even if he knelt down, he couldn’t offset any damage, but he could only express his guilt in this way.

Meihua looked at him like this, as if adding fuel to the fire. Thinking of her young and outstanding son, lying inside with unknown life and death because of Qi Zhixuan, she raised her hands in sadness and anger.

“Meihua!” Pang Wei stopped his wife, and the raised hand froze in the air. Li Meihua looked at the bandage on Qi Zhixuan’s head, her hand trembling slightly, and finally suppressed the emotions in her heart and slowly took it back.

Zhu Mingyue next to her wanted to step forward, but when she saw this scene, she silently stepped back.

“Xiao Qi, come on, get up.” Pang Wei pulled Qi Zhixuan in front of him from the ground.

The ICU is not like a normal ward with people coming and going, but there are quite a few people passing by here. Some people heard the noise and looked over curiously.

“Let’s find a quiet place. Uncle and aunt will say a few words to you.” Pang Wei took Qi Zhixuan, and Meihua Zhu Mingyue followed. They borrowed a small conference room in the hospital that was not occupied. Zhu Mingyue wisely stayed at the door to wait, and only allowed the three of them in.

The conference room was very small, with a clean small round table in the middle. After the three of them sat down, they were extremely close. Only then did Meihua clearly see the injuries on Qi Zhixuan’s body. Not only was his head wrapped in a thick bandage, his arms were also wrapped in gauze, and his neck was frighteningly purple. He had obviously suffered a lot.

“Xiao Qi, don’t worry too much.” Pang Wei spoke first, “Xiaoyu only had mild brain damage and a small amount of intracranial bleeding, but the doctor said that the condition is temporarily stable and there is a high hope of waking up.”

Qi Zhixuan nodded. Zhu Mingyue had told him the general situation on the way, but as long as a person was in the ICU for one day, no one could rest assured.

“What uncle wants to tell you is that your aunt told me about you and Xiaoyu before, and we all understand your relationship.” Pang Wei said this calmly, and Qi Zhixuan slowly raised his eyes and looked over.

He continued: “You also know that Xiaoyu, a child, has not grown up with us since he was a child. When he was a child, we just opened a store and he was so busy day and night that he could only stay at his grandma’s house. He has been very sensible since he was a child and knows that we are busy., I never say that I miss my parents, only that my grandma’s house is very nice so that we don’t have to worry about it. If we hadn’t gone back to his grandma’s house in the middle of the night and found a photo of me and your aunt from under his pillow, I really wouldn’t have felt that he needed us…”

Speaking of this, Meihua suddenly started sobbing beside her with trembling shoulders.

Pang Wei sighed and patted her back gently. Meihua turned her head and silently wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

“Later he learned to swim and really liked it.” Pang Wei’s voice was filled with emotion. “But learning physical education was hard. He was a wild guy at the beginning, slow in speed and poor in habits. Everyone laughed at him. It took him twice as long to break the habit, but he just loved it. He soaked in the pool every day, and his skin became cystic and his hair turned yellow. He finally got good results and won so many awards. We are all proud of him.”

Qi Zhixuan thought again of the trophies and medals he saw at Pang Jing’s house, and how he said lightly that he had no talent, but he loved it so much, and wouldn’t hard work be his talent.

At this moment, Meihua’s mood gradually calmed down, and only her nose and eyes were still red. Pang Wei looked at his wife, wiped the remaining tears on her face, and continued talking.

“Later, our business got better, but Xiaoyu grew up in the blink of an eye. He participated in many competitions and went to various places for training. Sometimes we could see that he was under a lot of pressure, but he never said it. We have not been with him for so many years, and we don’t know how to help him. He seems to have many friends, but he rarely talks to others about what is on his mind and always carries it alone.” At this point, Pang Wei frowned.

Then he looked at Qi Zhixuan: “So your aunt said that we are together, I am actually not surprised at all. He treats you very differently. That kind of care and concern is something we have never seen before. If you can accompany him, he has a close friend. You are so important to him, so important that you can risk your life. How can you say that uncle and aunt are willing to blame you?”

After Qi Zhixuan heard this, tears rolled down his face. The executioner named Guilt felt like he was being held back by a gentle God of Love, preventing him from committing murder. In the end, only soft pain spread in his heart.

“Protecting the ones you love is a matter of course. It’s all fate. No matter what the final result is, we accept it. We don’t blame you, kid.”

Pang Wei left his last words and pulled Meihua out. Before leaving, he patted Qi Zhixuan on the shoulder and told him to stop crying.

Qi Zhixuan sat alone in the small conference room, silently wiping away his tears. Protecting the people he loves is a matter of course. These words wrap people tightly like armor, wearing them heavy and safe.

The visiting time at noon was only fifteen minutes, and the American and Chinese couple gave this opportunity to him.Qi Zhixuan changed into isolation gown and walked into the ICU ward.

Pang Whale was lying quietly on the hospital bed. His respiratory function was not damaged. There was no intubation on his body, only some monitoring equipment. If he were not lying on the hospital bed, you would really think that he was just asleep.

Qi Zhixuan’s hand gently touched Pang Whale’s face through his gloves. The cold touch made his heart tighten. The medical staff told him not to touch it more, so he could only sit aside and watch silently.

He is still so handsome, he looks so good with his eyes closed, his nose is very straight, his eyelashes are very long, and his fleshy lips are very cute. As long as he is a giant whale, he seems to like his look everywhere.

15 minutes was not even enough to describe Pang Jing’s appearance. It passed in a blink of an eye. Before leaving, Qi Zhixuan was allowed to hold his hand. He took Pang Jing’s finger and prayed devoutly to his parents, “Mom and Dad, this is the person I want to see, my lover. If you can really hear it, save him.”
