Chapter 316 Luo Jinxi's High Fever Convulsion
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the winding road like golden gauze, and the Land Rover Range Rover sped across the road like a black lightning.
Inside the car, Mu Xiaoji leaned weakly on the back seat, his eyes slightly closed, his consciousness floating between half asleep and half awake.
His face looked a little tired, with his brows slightly wrinkled, as if he was troubled by some thoughts even in his sleep.
Xiao Huo looked focused, holding the steering wheel firmly with both hands and looking firmly ahead, and the Land Rover Range Rover drove steadily towards Jinyang Villa.
Jinyang Villa stands quietly in the tranquility. The surrounding cypress trees sway gently in the breeze, making a whistling sound, as if whispering to welcome the returning people.
The Range Rover slowly drove into the yard, its wheels making a slight friction sound as they rolled over the ground.
Xiao Huo whispered, "Mr. Mu, we're here." His voice was gentle, for fear of disturbing Mu Xiaoji's fragile dream.
In a trance, Mu Xiaoji seemed to see the nimble figure of the little monster approaching him, and heard its tender call in his ears, the voice filled with endless longing and attachment.
His eyelashes trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes, but he only saw the familiar yet slightly empty scene in the car. It was just an illusion, and the loss instantly overwhelmed his heart like a tide.
Mu Huiying stood on the balcony upstairs, staring at the road in the distance.
When she saw the Land Rover Range Rover appear, a complex emotion flashed across her face, with expectation and confusion intertwined in her eyes.
The person who got off the car was not Jiang Chengyu, but a young man in a neat military uniform, with a strong posture and quick movements.
Xiao Huo quickly opened the back door of the car, and Mu Xiaoji appeared at the door. His steps were a little heavy, as if he was carrying an invisible burden.
Xiao Huo closed the car door, walked quickly to the trunk, took out the heavy suitcase, followed closely behind Mu Xiaoji, and walked towards the door of the villa.
A strong wave of doubts surged in Mu Huiying's heart, like a tangled mess in her mind.
She hurried downstairs, her high heels tapping on the stairs, making crisp sounds that echoed in the empty corridor.
When she came to the living room, she saw Mu Xiaoji standing quietly in the middle of the living room, looking around with empty eyes, as if looking for something precious but lost.
Xiao Huo asked softly: "Mr. Mu, your luggage..."
Mu Xiaoji slowly turned around and looked at the suitcase, and responded politely: "Thank you, Xiao Huo, just put it here!"
Xiao Huo smiled naively and said, "Boss Mu, I won't bother you anymore. Have a good rest. I'll be back soon!"
Mu Xiaoji had a calm expression, but there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes: "Since you are here, take a rest for a night and go back tomorrow!"
Xiao Huo scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "I won't drive when I go back. I can rest in the car anyway."
Mu Xiaoji slowly walked to the coffee table, opened the drawer, and an envelope lay quietly inside.
He gently picked up the envelope, turned around and handed it to Xiao Huo, saying: "Xiao Huo, this is a token of my love. Originally, when you came to my house, I should have treated you to a good meal, but you know I am not like Little Monster, who knows how to entertain people.
You can eat whatever you like and do whatever you like. Just don't think I'm boring."
Xiao Huo quickly stretched out his hand, pressed the envelope that Mu Xiaoji handed over, and declined, "Mr. Mu, it's just a small favor. I can't take it. I'll go back now. I appreciate your kindness."
After that, Xiao Huo turned around and hurried to the door. Mu Xiaoji raised his voice and shouted: "Xiao Huo..."
However, Xiao Huo's figure had disappeared at the door, leaving only the slowly moving door gradually closing.
Mu Huiying forced a smile on her face and said softly, "Xiaoji is back? You must be exhausted from all the traveling, right?"
Mu Xiaoji nodded silently and said, "Mom, I thought you went back to Hongxing Community!"
Mu Huiying's face darkened instantly, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction and grievance in her voice: "After you leave this place, someone has to clean up. Since you don't want me to stay here, I'll go clean up and leave now."
Mu Xiaoji explained earnestly: "Mom, that's not what I meant."
Mu Huiying stood at the stairs, stopped her steps and turned back to look at Mu Xiaoji, with a trace of inquiry in her eyes: "He left, are you... unhappy?"
Mu Xiaoji lowered his head slightly, his eyes dim, and he said with lowered eyebrows and eyes: "He... will come back."
After that, he slowly dragged the suitcase over and walked upstairs with a staggering step. His steps were a little heavy and slow, as if he used up all his strength to walk upstairs with each step.
The moment he opened the door, Mu Xiaoji's eyes were attracted by the huge photo on the wall.
In the photo, he and the little monster looked at each other affectionately. Their tender gazes seemed to have magical power to stop time and leave only each other in the whole world.
Their eyes were full of love, as if their souls could merge into one. That tenderness and sweetness was like a warm current, flowing slowly in Mu Xiaoji's heart.
After staring for a long time, he slowly approached the big bed in the bedroom. He placed the suitcase beside the cabinet and gently sat on the big bed, his thoughts involuntarily drifting back to the good old days.
He seemed to see the little monster still showing that beautiful face, lying on the big bed with a bath towel wrapped around it, chatting and laughing while eating a fruit platter, and that hearty laughter seemed to still echo in his ears.
Mu Xiaoji slowly raised his hand and gently stroked that place, his fingertips sliding through the air, as if the residual warmth of the little monster had not yet dissipated, but his heart became more and more lonely in this endless longing.
Mu Xiaoji was alone, trapped in the quagmire of loneliness and helplessness. The air around him seemed to have frozen and it was so quiet that only the sound of his own faint breathing could be heard.
At this moment, the ringing of a cell phone was like a sharp flash of lightning, abruptly breaking the silence.
He was startled for a moment, then slowly reached out and took out his mobile phone. His eyes inadvertently swept across the screen, and his heart skipped a beat. It was an invitation video from Little Warcraft on WeChat.
His fingers trembled slightly as he quickly answered the call. The screen lit up instantly, and Jiang Chengyu's reassuring and heart-moving figure appeared before him.
Jiang Chengyu was seen lying comfortably in the warm bathtub. The water in the tub was rippling slightly, creating layers of ripples that reflected his strong chest. His bronze skin was faintly visible in the water, with strong and charming lines.
Mu Xiaoji tried hard to suppress his inner turmoil and pretended to be unhappy, but his eyes revealed a trace of concern that was difficult to conceal. He asked, "Little Devil, how dare you ignore my calls these days? Tell me the truth, where did you go to cheat?"
Seeing him like this, Jiang Chengyu quickly sat up, splashing water with his movement.
He raised his hands high, his expression serious and sincere, as if he was making an extremely solemn oath: “Xiaoji, I’m sorry;
It's just that the operation on Song Wenxuan was quite complicated, and he needed to pay close attention to the recovery of his vital signs afterwards. When he was halfway through the operation, his various data dropped, so he had to stop the operation, so I didn't have time to reply to you."
Mu Xiaoji's mind suddenly flashed with Luo Jinxi's words in the dream. He decided to take advantage of the situation and lie to him, so he said, "So you fainted after the operation and fell into a deep sleep again? Right?"
Jiang Chengyu's face suddenly flashed with panic, his eyes full of surprise: "Did Luo Jinxi tell you?"
Mu Xiaoji stared at the screen with wide eyes, not missing any change in Jiang Chengyu's expression, and asked, "Are you really in a deep sleep? How long did you sleep this time?"
Jiang Chengyu's eyes began to evade a little, and he answered hesitantly: "Five... five days!"
Mu Xiaoji frowned, his worries surging in his heart. He asked nervously, "Little Monster, how do you feel after waking up this time? What do you think caused you to be like this? Have you used your skills to heal anyone in the past few days?"
Jiang Chengyu shook his head lightly, a trace of confusion on his face: "I don't feel anything, just like sleeping. Apart from concentrating more on the operation on Song Wenxuan, there is nothing else."
Mu Xiaoji took a deep breath, his eyes showing great determination: "Little Monster, you'd better come back as soon as possible! I don't want you to take any work in the future. I will support you. Just eat and drink happily and have fun happily."
Jiang Chengyu listened, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a teasing smile: "Do you treat me like a pig?"
Mu Xiaoji's face darkened instantly, and he said unhappily, "I don't care who you are. I just want you to be by my side, healthy and safe."
At this moment, Mu Huiying stood quietly at the door, watching the video call between Mu Xiaoji and Jiang Chengyu with cold eyes.
There was a complex emotion in her eyes, including heartache for her son, as well as silent concern and contemplation of their relationship.
In the cozy bedroom of the luxurious sea view villa, Jiang Chengyu was having a WeChat video call with Mu Xiaoji in the bathtub. Mu Xiaoji's smile on the screen was bright and sweet.
However, at this moment, Dr. Liu's phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID on the mobile phone screen was particularly eye-catching.
Jiang Chengyu looked apologetic and hurriedly said to Mu Xiaoji: "Xiaoji, Doctor Liu called me. I'll hang up first. Doctor Liu should be talking about Song Wenxuan. I'll call you later."
Mu Xiaoji pursed his lips slightly, and although there was reluctance in his eyes, he still responded obediently: "Okay, take care of yourself and come back soon."
After hanging up the video, Mu Xiaoji, with a happy face, just climbed up from the soft big bed, and met Mu Huiying's eyes that were so cold that they seemed to freeze people to death, and he couldn't help shivering.
Jiang Chengyu quickly called back Dr. Liu, who answered almost immediately: "Hello, Professor Jiang, your friend's fever went down after the IV this morning, but now she has a fever again."
Jiang Chengyu was extremely anxious and immediately responded, "Okay, I got it. I'll be there soon."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, hurriedly got up and walked out of the bathtub, the warm water sliding down his skin.
He quickly changed into casual clothes, went out in a hurry, walked quickly to the business car, got in, started the car suddenly, drove out of the yard of the sea view villa at high speed, and soon merged into the endless flow of cars.
Jiang Chengyu rushed to the door of the VIP ward like lightning, pushed it open and walked in without hesitation.
Luo Jinxi's face was as pale as paper, with an IV tube already inserted and a fever-reducing patch on his forehead. He looked so weak that it was heartbreaking.
Jiang Chengyu nervously asked Doctor Liu who had just stood up: "Doctor Liu, how is my friend?"
Doctor Liu looked at Jiang Chengyu, who looked nervous, and said softly, "He's been given a fever-reducing injection, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
Jiang Chengyu said gratefully: "Thank you, Dr. Liu."
Doctor Liu smiled and responded, "Professor Jiang, you are too polite. It's just a small favor. I am on duty tonight. If you need anything, please come to me directly. I will be leaving first."
Jiang Chengyu nodded: "Okay, thank you Dr. Liu!" Then Dr. Liu and a nurse left the ward.
Jiang Chengyu slowly walked to the bedside and sat down, his eyes fixed on Luo Jinxi.
Suddenly, he saw sweat begin to ooze out of Luo Jinxi's forehead, and then his whole body began to twitch violently.
Jiang Chengyu's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he shouted nervously: "Luo Jinxi, Luo Jinxi..."
He hurriedly and gently helped her up and let her sit in his arms. He hugged Luo Jinxi tightly from behind. Without hesitation, he stretched out his left arm and gently put it into her mouth. He quickly raised his true energy with his right hand and slowly input it into her back.
Time passed by minute by minute in this tense atmosphere. The ward was so quiet that the only sounds left were Jiang Chengyu's steady breathing and Luo Jinxi's occasional gasps.
Just as Jiang Chengyu was concentrating on using his internal energy to reduce Luo Jinxi's fever, Xiao Yue, holding the crying little baby, gently pushed open the door of the ward.
Xiao Yue took one look at the shocking scene. He saw blood slowly dripping from Jiang Chengyu's arm, staining the white quilt red. The glaring red color looked particularly thrilling against the white backdrop.
"Master Jiang, you..." Xiao Yue was so heartbroken that he was speechless for a moment, and his eyes were slightly red.
Jiang Chengyu, who had his eyes closed, heard the noise, opened his eyes and looked at the crying Choubao, and said in a slightly tired voice: "Xiao Yue, you comfort Choubao first, I'll be there in a moment."
As time slowly passed, Luo Jinxi gradually fell into a deep sleep, and the trembling all over his body gradually subsided.
Jiang Chengyu was behind Luo Jinxi, leaning close to her ear and whispering, "Jinxi, relax and have a good sleep! Your fever will be gone tomorrow."
As if she heard his words, Luo Jinxi slowly loosened her arms. Jiang Chengyu carefully laid her down and covered her with a blanket.
Then he turned to Xiao Yue and said, "Xiao Yue, I'm sorry, I'll go take care of it."
Xiao Yue nodded silently with a look of heartache. He watched Jiang Chengyu walk out of the room quickly, and the door slowly closed, blocking his back, but Xiao Yue's heart was in a knot and he couldn't let it go. His eyes were still on the place where Jiang Chengyu had just sat, and he felt mixed emotions.
