Chapter 122 Self-Denial Returns
...The soul seems to be stripped away from the body.
He Xu's back could be seen floating in the air.
The old man had a broad back and was wearing the familiar down jacket that was so hot that he held her in his arms, who was extremely thin in comparison.
Qin Jue saw his palms arching into claw shapes, plowing five deep grooves into He Xu's down jacket.
Gotta wake up.
"Floating" in mid-air, she stared intently at the body dominated by instinct.
Gotta wake up.
We cannot be swallowed up by desire, and we cannot let animal nature overwhelm human nature.
The reason why people are human is because they have complex love.
Love with sincerity, love with restraint.
She is Qin Jue, the commander of the army in the last days and the extraditer of thousands of souls.
She can attack anyone she thinks deserves to die without hesitation or mercy. Similarly, she has no qualifications or position to harm innocent people at will.
Gotta wake up.
Qin Jue recited silently for the third time.
The soul that is separated from the body and has lost its sense of body cannot immediately realize the flow of time and space. Everything that happened just now seemed slow, but in fact it only lasted a very short moment.
Qin Jue's conscious body fell rapidly towards the ferocious and trembling body.
The hand she grasped on He Xu's shoulder trembled slightly, and she unconsciously increased the strength due to her remaining instinct.
The sound of fingernails scraping against the surface of the feather was subtle but harsh, and Qin Jue groaned with difficulty, trying his best to control his will under the severe pain of the electric current that he was aware of.
His eyes were closed and his brows were furrowed.
Three long seconds, or three minutes? She couldn't tell the difference.
"Xiao Jue."
……Huh?
.........Ah, it's the old man's voice.
What kind of name is this? It’s so disgusting...
Qin Jue twisted into a smile in the intense pain that seemed to tear apart his soul.
I have been fighting myself to the death so hard, please don’t insert comedy effects at this time...
"Xiao Jue."
He Xu hugged her and gently placed his palm on her back, once, twice, unskilled, stiff and clumsy.
...I am better at coaxing children than you are.
Qin absolutely didn't know whether he was shaking with pain or laughing.
"Don't panic, don't be afraid, grandpa is here."
He Xu patted her back gently and repeated in a low voice, "Grandpa is here..."
"You are not a bad boy...
"There is nothing wrong with your strength..."
He Xu kept repeating it.
"It's not your fault." He said, "It's not your fault..."
With a low and old voice, Qin Jue's hand firmly grasping He Xu's back trembled, struggling, and lifting his fingers from the scratches one by one.
In an instant, she controlled this arm and hit the ground hard.
Provoked a crisp sound.
"Cough! Cough cough cough..."
The sound seemed to be a switch. Qin Jue convulsed a few times and coughed heavily.
"Xiao Jue?"
He Xu carefully released his embrace, but did not let go of her.
Qin Jue's other hand groped out and grabbed the old man's collar before tentatively opening his eyes.
She looked at He Xu's eyes. They had lost their former sharpness and were now filled with deep worry and distress.
Surrounded by these worries and heartache, was Qin Jue's face reflected in He Xu's eyes.
She looked at those eyes seriously and carefully, looking at herself with normal dark brown pupils.
Qin Jue coughed twice weakly.
"Old man, you need to be awarded an award...the 'Savior' award..."
She laughed intermittently, coughed, loosened the collar of He Xu's down jacket, and touched the current network switch of the combat uniform.
The strong current slowly disappeared, and Qin Jue suddenly stood up, his face turned toward the wall, and he started retching with his head down.
"water!"
After hearing what she said, He Xu was startled for a moment and immediately called for people to come over.
His heart slowly relaxed, and his heart finally fell back into his stomach.
He Xu didn't know the specific situation of Qin Jue, but he could tell that the current level was passed.
…
The smell of disinfectant.
There was a faint sound of conversation outside the door, two people, no, three people.
The body is tactile.
He was lying down, covered with a quilt, and one hand was half-covered by a thin blanket. Cold liquid was continuously injected into the back of the hand. The other hand was fixed, dull and unresponsive.
After grasping the surrounding information, Qin Jue opened his eyes.
Strange ceiling.
His field of vision swept up, down, left and right at a constant speed, and it was all white. The quilt and bandages were all so white that they were conspicuously white.
The sound of footsteps came closer and closer.
Qin Jue blinked slowly, and his face suddenly stiffened.
...Nope.
A familiar voice whispered outside the door, and Qin Jue closed his eyes with a headache.
Grass (Chinese and Ni bilingual).
Good guy, the old man was so generous that he sent her to the best hospital in Ni Province.
...This is unfortunate. After having enough money, Masako Rimu's mother was transferred here not long ago.
As for why Limu Masako came to the door... Well, it must be that girl Aran who contacted her.
If I am guilty, please let me sleep awake, instead of lying in a hospital bed like a real half-century old man being served by a group of juniors.
Qin Jue sighed vicissitudes of life.
This sigh was not concealed, and was quickly recorded into the response system of the intelligent care robot beside the bed, triggering a soft and pleasant electronic sound:
“Good morning, nice to see you awake!
"Excuse me, do you need summons service? If so, please nod or tell me aloud!
"If you don't want to be disturbed, please continue to rest. After thirty seconds, I will assume that you do not need the summons service and remind the attending doctor that you are awake."
Hey, technology is developing so well.
You can see her dog's business serving the people anytime and anywhere.
Qin Jue sighed again resignedly.
"Tell them I'm awake."
"Received! I sincerely wish you a speedy recovery!" The soft light above the robot's head flashed, and a bouquet of blooming flowers was displayed on the electronic screen.
This flower is tied and tastes pretty good.
Qin Jue complained and heard someone walking in.
Oops, there is no sound when opening the door. It seems that this is a high-end ward...
Old man, isn’t that the case?
In addition to He Xu, there was also Zhang Ming.
The girl Masako Limu was sensible and stayed outside the door without moving.
Facing the concerned faces of an old man and a young man, Qin Juepi smiled and said, "You old man, this is calculated as a work-related injury."
Seeing her eccentric and energetic look, He Xu was immediately relieved. He glanced at Qin Jue sideways and hummed, "I am the director, so I am naturally responsible for the lead actor who was too deeply affected by the drama."
"People don't speak secretly, Director He, you know this is my personal reason." Qin Jue smiled a little weakly, "Can you use your film salary to offset the medical expenses and so on?"
"Fart." He Xu puffed his beard and glared, "I recognize a grandson... Isn't he a grandson? What kind of medical expenses are there? Young people don't have the eyesight to pick out these useless things!"
Qin Jue's body still had the numbness and dull pain from the electric shock, and he laughed "Ouch, ouch".
"You buy and sell by force." She laughed.
"Whether you are happy with it or not is another matter." He Xu's old but not turbid eyes rolled up in contrast, "Anyway, I'll admit it first, old man! If you really care about these guys with penises and big bangs, hurry up. Get better and then go back to the set to film!"
"Isn't that necessary?" Qin Jue nodded with a smile, looked at the infusion tube and then at the hand with bandages and splints, "Don't worry, there will be no problem in being discharged tonight."
"What's the rush? Take a good rest!"
He Xu glared at her again.
Qin Jue: "..."
Alas, the old man is really difficult to take care of.
