First Volume_Chapter 363 I Insist on Trying the Bitterness of Love (3)
Jiang Zhi was bored to death, sitting on the outdoor bench, she opened Honor of Kings.
She is now doing better against the AI than before.
Her record is 2/13/7.
At least she has two kills.
She confidently started a match.
The game was halfway through.
A passing nurse heard the scolding coming from the operating room door.
「What's wrong with me feeding? You talk so much just for a match? You've never lost, huh? If you're so good, why isn't your record 5/15? 」
「Is this game yours to start? I'm going to play! I'll make you die of anger! 」
The nurse broke out in a cold sweat, walked to the waiting bench outside the operating room door, and advised the angry girl: "Miss, this is a hospital, please keep your voice down,"
Jiang Zhi regained her composure, her face flushed with anger, she took a deep breath, and smiled while saying: "Sorry sorry."
The nurse left.
Jiang Zhi looked at the failure appearing on her phone screen and let out a long sigh.
「This game isn't fun. 」
777 agreed: "Exactly! Host, don't let anger get to you."
Jiang Zhi stopped playing the game and went to watch videos of the villain's match.
After a few hours, the surgery ended.
Ning Xun, after the surgery, was pushed out by the nurse.
In the ward.
Jiang Zhi, leaning against the bedside, rested her head and soon fell asleep.
Outside the window, the pale morning light tore through the darkness, and the light scattered onto the snow-white bed sheets.
Ning Xun opened his eyes, abdominal pain evident, an oxygen mask on his face, gradually he could see everything before him clearly.
It was the ward.
He slightly furrowed his brow, struggling to get up, his peripheral vision falling on the woman sleeping soundly beside the bed.
She, unaware of what sweet dream she was having, giggled and swayed her head, her body leaning back.
「Clang—! 」
The chair, with her still in it, toppled to the ground, jolting Jiang Zhi awake from the pain.
「Hiss…」 she rubbed her sore buttocks, half-sitting on the ground, eyes half-open, bleary-eyed.
Ning Xun didn't want to glance another second at her foolish appearance, he propped himself up with his arms trying to sit up, which pulled at his abdominal wound, a sharp pain shot through him, and he sucked in a breath of cold air.
The awakened Jiang Zhi straightened the chair and sat down, legs crossed, and said lightly: "You just had surgery; you can't get out of bed yet."
Ning Xun lowered his forehead, his short curly hair shading his brows and eyes, his expression gloomy and cold.
「You… who are you? 」
Jiang Zhi glanced at him, "Neighbor."
It's no surprise he forgot her; aside from his teammates and coach, no matter how many times you see other people's faces, you'll forget them.
What's more, she's a girl.
Ning Xun had a slight impression, weakly lifting his finger to press his eye socket, the other hand covering his abdomen, enduring the pain, he said: "Me, what happened?"
Jiang Zhi said: "Gastric perforation, the surgery performed last night."
Ning Xun said in a cold tone: "Thank you."
Jiang Zhi: "No thanks."
Ning Xun lowered his eyes: "You may go."
Jiang Zhi also didn't give him a good look: "The doctors thought I was your girlfriend; now that I'm leaving, others will surely think I'm a cold-hearted woman who doesn't care about her boyfriend."
Ning Xun: ………
Ning Xun pressed his thin lips into a horizontal line, and said word by word: "I can explain."
Jiang Zhi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "What's the use of explaining? I stayed with you all night, I also signed the surgery consent form; the more you explain, the less clear it becomes."
Ning Xun stared, eyes deep, and asked: "Then what do you want?"
Jiang Zhi crossed her arms, leaned back against the chair's backrest, and said unhurriedly: "Sorry, I care about what others think, so I'll stay with you until you're discharged."
The surrounding temperature dropped sharply, the atmosphere stalled.
Ning Xun simply closed his eyes and lay on the hospital bed.
A few minutes passed.
Jiang Zhi stood up and walked out.
Ning Xun heard the door close, his eyelids twitched slightly, and his stiff, tense body relaxed.
An hour later.
Jiang Zhi pushed the door open, belching, and sat down again on the bench.
Ning Xun's face turned ashen, his cold gaze shifted to her face.
Jiang Zhi asked: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Ning Xun almost couldn't catch his breath, nearly losing his life.
Jiang Zhi gave a slight smile: "You still can't eat anything right now, so I didn't bring you anything; don't be mad at me, okay."
Ning Xun couldn't move, could barely speak a couple of words, and could only watch her linger here.
Out of sight, out of mind, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
At this moment, the nurse pushed the IV cart into the ward, she finished changing Ning Xun's medicine, and couldn't help teasing: "Your girlfriend treats you really well, staying up all night with you without sleeping, even taking time to get breakfast she asked us to look after you more."
Ning Xun's forehead veins bulged.
Jiang Zhi showed a smile, saying: "If you say that, my boyfriend would feel embarrassed."
The nurse smiled and pulled the IV cart away.
The door closed again.
The smile faded from Jiang Zhi's face, she peeled an apple for herself, took a bite, crisp and sweet-tart.
This lasted until the afternoon.
The coach from Ning Xun's club came to visit him.
Coach He was rugged and muscular, his exposed arm muscles exaggerated, as if one punch could kill a person.
"Waaah..." Who knew he would start sobbing heart-wrenchingly as soon as he entered the ward.
"Xiao Xun, my poor little Xiao Xun!"
Jiang Zhi saw his posture, frightened, she immediately stood up from the chair, afraid it would affect his performance.
Ning Xun wished he could die right then.
He lay weakly on the hospital bed, saying: "Don't, stop crying."
Coach He didn't hear clearly, he leaned over the bedside, his face full of tears.
Those who didn't know thought Ning Xun lying on the bed was about to die, and were preparing a feast.
Jiang Zhi kindly reminded: "He's not dead yet."
Coach He then realized there was still her in the ward, wiped his tears, stood up and asked: "You are...?"
Jiang Zhi sighed: "I'm his neighbor."
Coach He heard the voice and immediately gave Ning Xun on the bed a curious look.
Ning Xun replied coldly: "Just a neighbor."
Coach He appeared very open-minded: "I understand."
Ning Xun: "You don't understand shit!!"
Jiang Zhi said considerately: "I'll go outside, I won't disturb you guys."
After saying that, she turned and left the ward.
Coach He saw this and sighed incessantly: "Xiao Xun, you need to treat her well."
A hint of bloodiness rose in Ning Xun's throat, his body trembling with excitement.
"She, just my neighbor!!"
Coach He quickly nodded in agreement, grabbed his hand, and said: "Rest assured! I definitely won't tell the club about this, you focus on recovering, I'll handle everything!"
Ning Xun rolled his eyes and fainted from anger.
……
Watching the coach leave the ward, Jiang Zhi stood up and asked: "Are you leaving?"
Coach He nodded: "Sister-in-law, he has a cold personality, please bear with him; if he bullies you, tell me, I'll definitely help you!"
Jiang Zhi waved her hand to explain: "No... no, that's not it."
Coach He said with a smile: "I understand, I understand, I went through the same thing."
After saying that, he left.
Jiang Zhi gave him a thumbs-up as he walked away.
No wonder he's the coach who's best at reading into the plot!
She returned to the ward, saw the boy with a flushed face, strode forward, and reached out to touch his forehead.
"Why is your face so red, are you feverish?"
Ning Xun opened his eyes, bloodshot veins spreading across the whites, he glared at her fiercely and said: "Get lost."
Jiang Zhi froze abruptly, meeting his crimson, rejecting gaze, her finger stuck midair.
"Do you really hate me that much?"
Ning Xun's voice cold and deep: "Yes."
Jiang Zhi withdrew her hand, turned and left the ward.
Ning Xun's expression froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
