Chapter 283 I Will Die With You
They were all intelligent people, and Bai Ye's words were so straightforward, how could Li Chenxu not understand?
Upon hearing this, he looked up and glanced at Bai Ye with half-closed eyes, his dark eyes carrying unfathomable emotions.
It was unclear what he was thinking. He looked at Bai Ye with that gaze for a while before saying in a low voice, "I understand. Don't worry, I already have a plan. Once I've settled things with Xiaoyu and Auntie, I'll naturally come to find you."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave the sanatorium.
After Bai Ye left, Li Chenxu returned to the ward where Mu Xiaoyu was.
Having been busy for almost the entire day, not only Mu Xiaoyu and the others, but Li Chenxu's mental state was also constantly tense.
Only he himself knew the immense panic he felt upon learning that Mu Xiaoyu had been kidnapped again; he felt helpless and terrified. Therefore, even though Li Chenxu was utterly exhausted, he still didn't rest.
He sat by Mu Xiaoyu's hospital bed, staring intently at her, motionless.
When Mu Xiaoyu woke up, the first thing she saw was Li Chenxu's bloodshot eyes.
This was the first time she had seen Li Chenxu like this, and she instantly came to her senses.
"Brother Chenxu, what's wrong?"
Mu Xiaoyu was startled by Li Chenxu's appearance and thought something had happened, so she became very nervous.
Li Chenxu hadn't rested for almost two days. Now, stubble had sprouted on his chin, and the shadows under his eyes were heavy. He looked extremely颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, and lacking motivation).
In addition, I haven't had a proper rest for a long time, so my reactions are much slower than usual.
It took Li Chenxu a while to slowly come to his senses after hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words.
He shook his head and patted his head to cheer himself up a little.
"I am fine."
"Are you really okay? You... didn't sleep at all last night?"
Mu Xiaoyu had a fever and was completely confused. She couldn't remember how much time had passed since Mu Pengzheng tied her up.
Seeing Li Chenxu's current state, it was clear that he hadn't had enough rest.
As soon as the question left her mouth, Mu Xiaoyu immediately understood what was going on.
Suddenly, her heart tightened, a mix of warmth and heartache welling up inside her. She instinctively took Li Chenxu's hand, and before he could speak, she choked out, "Are you crazy?! I'm fine, why aren't you resting!"
As she spoke, thinking about the harrowing scene from yesterday, Mu Xiaoyu felt a pang of heartache.
Li Chenxu didn't speak immediately, but instead gripped Mu Xiaoyu's hand tightly with a frightening force.
Yesterday, Mu Xiaoyu was kidnapped by Mu Pengzheng. He appeared very calm, but the panic in his heart had been hidden deep inside. Only now, almost a day later, has that buried panic gradually surfaced.
Even now, he still can't tell Mu Xiaoyu how scared he was back then.
However, even if he didn't say it, Mu Xiaoyu already knew.
"Brother Shenxu, I'm sorry."
"Xiaoyu, I don't want to hear you say those three words to me."
Li Chenxu spoke in a hoarse voice. He hadn't spoken or drunk a drop of water all night, and his throat was incredibly hoarse.
Mu Xiaoyu felt extremely distressed upon hearing this and hurriedly reached out to pour water for Li Chenxu. However, her movement was too hasty, which aggravated the wound on her waist, causing her to cry out in pain.
Seeing this, Li Chenxu quickly got up and went to Mu Xiaoyu's side, frowning and saying anxiously, "Does your wound hurt? Don't move! Tell me what you need, I'll do it!"
Perhaps because he was too worried, Li Chenxu's tone sounded more anxious and reproachful than usual.
However, Mu Xiaoyu was not happy at all. Seeing this, she reached out to Li Chenxu, looking aggrieved and asking for a hug.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu like this left Li Chenxu completely helpless. He sighed in resignation, then bent down and gently hugged Mu Xiaoyu, patting her back tenderly with one hand: "What can I say about you? Why are you so troublesome?"
"I know I'm a handful, but there are some things I just can't control..."
Mu Xiaoyu said aggrievedly, pausing for a second before finally saying, "Brother Chenxu, I was actually very scared yesterday, but I'm not afraid of dying. What I'm afraid of is what you would do if I died."
Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaoyu's words were like this. Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu froze, and the next second, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up. At the same time, a warm current seemed to flow through his heart, warming his entire being, and even the hand holding Mu Xiaoyu tightened uncontrollably.
He gave a soft "hmm" and said, "If something really happens to you, I won't live alone either. I know you don't like being alone, and with me by your side, you won't be afraid."
When Li Chenxu said this, his tone was flat, as if he were talking to himself, or as if he were speaking to Mu Xiaoyu.
Those who don't understand him might think he said these words just to appease Mu Xiaoyu, but those who do know him know that he was telling the truth.
Li Chenxu is not someone who likes to talk about everything; he usually does things first and then speaks about them.
Just like the many times he was good to Mu Xiaoyu, over the years, the things Li Chenxu did for Mu Xiaoyu were countless, even those that Mu Xiaoyu had only seen. Not to mention, there were also those that Mu Xiaoyu hadn't seen.
He loved Mu Xiaoyu to the core; in fact, he considered Mu Xiaoyu's life to be far more important than his own.
If something really happens to Mu Xiaoyu this time, he will calmly avenge her. After doing all that, he will leave with Mu Xiaoyu without hesitation.
That's just how he is; he likes Mu Xiaoyu to the core.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't speak, burying her head in Li Chenxu's shoulder, tears streaming down her face. At first, she was just sobbing softly, but in the end, she started wailing like a child.
Li Chenxu never expected Mu Xiaoyu to burst into tears like this. His previously calm face immediately showed a look of panic and helplessness.
He hurriedly tried to let go of Mu Xiaoyu's arms, but Mu Xiaoyu clung tightly to Li Chenxu's waist and kept crying.
Li Chenxu hadn't closed the ward door in the first place. Mu Xiaoyu's commotion made people outside think something serious had happened, and many medical staff and bodyguards rushed over.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out there was nothing serious; it was just that Mu Xiaoyu was holding Li Chenxu and wailing loudly.
