Is he here?
Yao Ji almost felt suffocating, and she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles on the sofa.
Then the door rang and the door opened. The person came was a gentle and elegant man wearing a one-collar suit.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, her tense nerves instantly relaxed, and her vest was covered in cold sweat.
Mr. Norton, Miss Kong, two of you came from afar, and were welcomed by a long distance.Jin Xian shook hands with Edward politely, and as his eyes passed by Yao Ji, he flashed a very short and complicated glance.
Yao Ji couldn't tell what it felt like, and she was afraid it was him, but the person who came was not him, and she instantly felt disappointed again.
Obviously Chen Song had told Jin Xian about her encounter. Jin Xian had no abnormalities. He discussed a series of preparations for the operation with Edward and apologized for Li Zheng: The third son originally wanted to come to greet Mr. Norton in person, but the military affairs were busy, and he was seriously injured and could not get up. Please understand Mr. Norton.
Can't get up... So is that serious? Yao Ji had guessed that the person who needed the surgery was Li Zheng, but suddenly he heard Jin Xian say that he was seriously injured, and his eyes were getting darker and his heart started to feel throbbing.
She resisted the urge to ask about her injuries and heard Edward say: Before I came, I knew a little about it. Mr. Li's injury was on his right arm, right?
Jin Xian nodded: The shells were inserted into the arm, the position was too sensitive. If there was a slight mistake when taken out, the entire arm would be ruined. Mr. Norton also knew that we were marching and fighting, but we were just eating, so we had to be careful. In addition, when he was injured, the third young master refused to leave the front line. His injury has worsened a lot. A few days ago, the third young master was still in a fever and only recovered a little today.
The surgery must be started as soon as possible. After hearing these words, Edward said solemnly, if he drags on, something might happen.
I thought so too, Jin Xian nodded, so please Mr. Norton.He is Li Zheng's most respected private secretary. Now the battle situation is anxious and he is busy every day. After the discussion, he stood up and said, "I asked the speaker to take the two to the guest room."
Yao Ji followed Edward and Jin Xian was a little behind and whispered: I haven't told the third son yet.
Yao Ji was stunned. After understanding what he meant, she smiled: Then please don’t tell him.
After hearing this, Jin Xian frowned first, and then sighed: Miss Kong, do you know, I hate you very much? Seeing that Yao Ji didn't speak, he said, "I advised the third son to do that, if I had known that would have been like this...
If you had known this would happen, you would have advised him. Yao Ji had a very faint smile on her lips, and he would still do that.
Jin Xian was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, he said: I realized that you two are just as stubborn as you are.He has been alone all these years. Both the eldest and second ladies have advised him that the general passed away two years ago, and he did not let go in front of the sickbed. When he said this, he couldn't continue to say anything. Seeing Yao Ji just silent, I shouldn't have been in such a quiet business, I shouldn't have told him that you are here. After stopping, he still said, "The third young master is in the foreign building behind you." If you want to take a look, you can go now."After saying that, he left.
Yao Ji stood there for a while before continuing to move forward.But she seemed to be unconscious, and was pulled by those words, and she couldn't help but walk towards the western-style building behind the lush trees.
The tree grew very well, with big flowers blooming on the branches. She carefully identified it and it turned out to be crabapple.
The door of the living room on the first floor was open, and from time to time, a secretary came in and out, and she heard a low voice from inside: Yu Cheng.The sound seemed to hit her atrium, making her feel a little painful.
Li Zheng sat on the long couch in the center. The table in front of him was full of messy documents and telegrams, and several military maps were hung on the wall, and he used the red line to hook the marching route.
He was about to get up and take down the map, but his body moved and pulled the wound on his arm. He felt so painful that cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
The wound was already quite deep, and it was getting worse by the marching fatigue. Li Zheng was so painful that he was so determined that he was just frowned and pounded his hand on the desk: Yu Cheng! Wherever Luo Da went, get in!
It turned out that Yu Cheng was on his order to go out to get things, and he hurried over at this time.
Yao Ji vaguely saw that he was holding a porcelain jar in his hand and put it on the table, looking embarrassed: Third Young Master, the burning knife is too strong, if it is wiped...
Stop talking nonsense, Li Zheng interrupted him rudely and asked you to wipe it. It hurts like this, how can you have a meeting?
Only then did Yao Ji realize that the wound was so painful that he actually wanted to use a burning knife to wipe it. When the muscles are paralyzed, there will be no pain.
She almost said something to stop her, how could she do this!
Just as she took a step forward, her body stopped. In her current situation, what qualifications do she have to persuade him again?
She didn't even dare to face him, and could only peek in the dark like this.
At this moment, Yao Ji couldn't help but shake her. She broke up with him without hesitation. Is it really so selfish as my elder sister said?
He is less than thirty years old and his eyebrows are still bright. When he turned his face, Yao Ji saw his thick black hairline, and there was a little frosty white on his temples.
She was in a daze, wondering how long she had been watching outside.
Until a meeting was held inside, Yu Cheng closed the door and came out and saw the woman standing under the shade of the tree. Miss Kong, he obviously knew about this. In the past, Yu Cheng was a taciturn person. He didn't know how to persuade him. After a while, he whispered, "If the third young master knew that you were back, he would be happy."
Is that right? Yao Ji only felt the smile on her lips bitter and unspeakable. I thought... he should hate me.
Yu Cheng shook his head: No.I want to say that the third young master will go to Fengshan Villa until October every year. Yao Ji waved her hand at him and turned around and left.
The next day was the day when Li Zheng had an operation. There were doctors and nurses specially transferred in the house. Edward brought Yao Ji here mainly to prepare for emergencies. When Yao Ji said she was feeling uncomfortable, he said: Then you don’t have to go in for the time being. If I need it, you can help again.
Yao Ji suspected that he must have seen something, but she was upset and nodded randomly, as if she had responded.
The operation went smoothly at the beginning. Edward was an internationally authoritative doctor. Although Li Zheng’s condition was indeed difficult, it was not difficult for him. However, halfway through the operation, the wound suddenly began to bleed heavily. Yao Ji was guarding outside and heard Edward’s high-profile voice coming from the room: An!install!
She quickly pushed the door and the entrance picture almost made her dizzy. Li Zheng was lying on the operating table, and blood surged out, as if he was about to drown him in the pool of blood.
She thought she was still calm and walked to Edward. In the eyes of others, she saw her staggering and almost unable to stand firmly.
Her head buzzed, and she took the surgical instrument handed over by the nurse and felt as if nothing could be heard. Edward grabbed her shoulder and shouted in her ear: Calm down, An, you are a doctor first!
Yes, I am a doctor, I want to save him, I want to save him... I must not let him die!
Dongting... Tears suddenly dripped in her eyes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
In a trance, Li Zheng moved his hands. He had been given anesthetics and his head was dizzy and he had no idea what was happening around him.
But at this moment, it seemed like a huge force burst out. He grabbed one of his hands tightly. The hand was slender and soft, as if it was the hand he had held after many years ago, many years ago, as if he had dreamed back at midnight.
Please, he begs in despair, don't leave me.
When Li Zheng woke up, it was dusk the next day.
There was a thick gauze tied to his right arm, and he moved slightly, causing a piercing pain.
Yu Cheng was guarding the outside room and heard a sound from inside. He quickly lifted the curtain and entered: Third Young Master, are you awake, are you drinking some water?
He nodded slightly, took the porcelain cup handed over by Yu Cheng and drank it all: Where is Mr. Norton?
Not long after leaving, Yu Chengdao saw Li Zheng frowned slightly and hurriedly explained that Mr. Jin had originally left them to stay for a few more days, and he would thank him in person after you woke up, but Mr. Norton said that he would rush back to Shanghai to deal with some urgent matters. The operation was very successful, so you don’t have to worry.
Li Zheng noticed the strange thing in his words: Two?Besides Mr. Norton, there are others?
It was Mr. Norton's assistant, Yu Cheng answered vaguely.
Fortunately, he didn't delve into it. He put down the porcelain cup and couldn't help but look out of the window and dazed. Yu Cheng, he suddenly said, I dreamed of her again...
In the dream, he grabbed her hand.At that moment, he almost cried with joy. If Meng didn't have to wake up, he was even willing to indulge in this way, but in vain.
The third young master... Yu Cheng wanted to speak but stopped.
What's up?Li Zheng looked back at him with some confusion. Yu Cheng was about to speak when the secretary who reported to the military affairs came in. The words choked back into his throat and he retreated silently.
Because the surgery still requires rest, the secretary only picked up some extremely important military affairs and reported them to Li Zheng one by one.
He listened absent-mindedly, always feeling restless. What was Yu Cheng going to say just now?
Yu Cheng served him for so many years, and Li Zheng knew him very well, and those words must be very important.
At this time, the secretary was talking about military rations. His eyes passed by the telegram, and a corner of white fell on the carpet in front of the bed.
What is that?Li Zheng frowned.
The secretary bent down and picked it up: It was a handkerchief.
The handkerchief is an old-style silk material, with burning crabapple flowers embroidered on the top. The palm feet spread out, and it seemed that a very faint fragrance spread, like jasmine or tuberose jade.
Li Zheng suddenly realized that it was not a dream, it was true!
He lifted the quilt, stood up and ran out: Yu Cheng, prepare the car!
But the car had not yet arrived, and he was full of anxiety and joy. The joy was mixed with helpless panic. There was a military horse tied outside the yard. He grabbed the whip from the horse's hat and turned over and jumped on. The garrisons shouted in panic: Third Young Master, wait a moment, wait a moment!
He couldn't wait, and didn't even want to wait for a minute or a second.
An, in the carriage, Edward hesitated for a moment and asked, "Since you can't bear to leave that Mr. Li, you went to see him before leaving, why don't you stay?"
Yao Ji knew that Westerners have always been very frank in this kind of thing, so she smiled bitterly: I'm sorry for him, so... I don't know how to deal with it.
But you can't escape, Edward said seriously, if you can't let go, then accept it actively, otherwise you will only regret it.
But I... Yao Ji whispered softly, as if she was responding to Edward, and as if she was telling herself that she had left.
What if he chases him?Edward asked.
How could it be...
Before she finished speaking, the car suddenly braked suddenly, the tires made a harsh sound, and stopped in the middle of the road.
The driver looked up in shock and saw a tall black military horse standing in front of the car. The man on the horse had a handsome and handsome face, not wearing a coat, and his shirt was not buttoned: Three, Three Young Master...?
Look, Edward shook at her, wasn't what I said right?
Professor, you... Yao Ji suddenly realized that before getting on the car, she found that her handkerchief was missing. It turned out...but she had no time to say anything. Li Zheng jumped down from the horse's back and walked outside the car door.
Go, ok.
Yao Ji heard Edward whisper, and she took a deep breath and opened the car door.
On the roadside, the crabapple flowers are blooming just in time.
Yao Ji almost felt suffocating, and she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles on the sofa.
Then the door rang and the door opened. The person came was a gentle and elegant man wearing a one-collar suit.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, her tense nerves instantly relaxed, and her vest was covered in cold sweat.
