Yan Xi came to her senses and knew what Mu Jing Chen was about to do. She couldn't care less and quickly jumped off the bed.
Shards of the vase were scattered all over the floor. Yan Xi was anxious and didn't bother to put on her shoes. The sharp fragments pierced her feet, causing them to bleed instantly.
However, Yan Xi ignored her pain. She rushed to Mu Jing Chen's side and asked anxiously, "Jing Chen, are you alright? Why did you do this? Are you crazy?"
Seeing the blood gushing from Mu Jing Chen's wrist, Yan Xi was truly terrified. She couldn't let anything happen to Mu Jing Chen; she couldn't just watch him die in front of her.
"I need to call 120 for an ambulance. Where's my phone?"
Yan Xi began to frantically search for her phone.
Mu Jing Chen felt a sliver of comfort seeing how worried Yan Xi was about him.
Mu Jing Chen smiled weakly and said, "Xi Xi, I originally thought you only cared about Fu Yan Ting's life or death and wouldn't worry about me. Now that I see you so anxious, even crying for me, I feel like even if I die, it would be worth it."
Mu Jing Chen had intended for his words to be deeply emotional.
But Yan Xi raised her hand and slapped him.
The slap caught Mu Jing Chen completely off guard, but he wasn't angry. He knew his Xi Xi was finally starting to care about him.
"Mu Jing Chen, are you out of your mind? Just to prove whether I care about you as much as I care about Fu Yan Ting, you'd hurt yourself like this? If I didn't care about you, would you have really been prepared to die and end it all?"
"I'm so glad, my Xi Xi finally admits she cares about me."
"Mu Jing Chen, can you be serious? Are you living just for me?" Yan Xi had never known she was so important.
"Yes, I live for you."
Mu Jing Chen's voice was soft, as if murmuring, or perhaps speaking to Yan Xi.
After speaking, seeing Yan Xi frozen, Mu Jing Chen realized he had said the wrong thing and worried Yan Xi would ignore him from now on.
He quickly explained, "Xi Xi, you know the environment I grew up in. To them, I was just a dispensable substitute. Only you treated me like family. Only you didn't scheme against me or use me. To me, you are a ray of light in my darkness, my salvation. I can't live without you."
Yan Xi had been very angry and furious, but after hearing Mu Jing Chen's words, she was rendered speechless.
Yan Xi knew quite a bit about Mu Jing Chen's background and understood the environment he grew up in. It was precisely because of this understanding that Yan Xi cared so much about Mu Jing Chen as a family member.
A short while later, the 120 ambulance arrived and took Mu Jing Chen to the hospital. Yan Xi, as a family member, accompanied him.
Coincidentally, Mu Jing Chen was admitted to the same hospital as Fu Yan Ting.
Mu Jing Chen underwent emergency treatment and was out of danger. By the time he was moved to a ward, Fu Yan Ting had recovered well enough to be discharged.
Fu Yan Ting had been hospitalized for such a long time due to his injuries, and Yan Xi hadn't visited him once.
Fu Yan Ting comforted himself, thinking Yan Xi must have been held up by something. He even considered calling Yan Xi to hint that he was being discharged and test her reaction.
With this thought, Fu Yan Ting took out his phone, ready to dial Yan Xi's number.
After completing the discharge procedures, Xin Yi returned to the ward. As if discovering a new continent, he looked at Fu Yan Ting and reported, "Boss, I saw Miss Yan in the next ward."
Upon hearing Xin Yi's words, Fu Yan Ting was filled with concern for Yan Xi's safety and rushed towards the adjacent ward without a second thought.
As Fu Yan Ting reached the doorway of the ward, he stopped in his tracks.
Yan Xi was attentively taking care of Mu Jing Chen.
The scene looked so affectionate.
It pierced Fu Yan Ting's eyes deeply.
Fu Yan Ting finally understood. It wasn't that Yan Xi didn't know how to take care of people; she just didn't choose to take care of him.
Thinking about his actions just now, Fu Yan Ting felt like a clown.
Fu Yan Ting smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
He clenched his fists tightly and then silently left, as if he had never been there.
Just as Fu Yan Ting turned to leave, he heard Mu Qing Xiang's voice from behind him.
Mu Qing Xiang asked worriedly, "Yan Ting, why are you out of your ward? Have your injuries healed? Didn't the doctor tell you to rest more?"
Inside the ward, Yan Xi, who was caring for Mu Jing Chen, heard someone outside call Fu Yan Ting's name. Her hands trembled slightly, and she got up, preparing to go out and greet Fu Yan Ting.
Seeing Yan Xi about to go out to meet Fu Yan Ting, Mu Jing Chen quickly stopped her.
Mu Jing Chen looked at Yan Xi and pleaded, "Xi Xi, please, don't go out, don't go to see Fu Yan Ting. Stay here with me."
Yan Xi instinctively wanted to refuse, but she thought of Mu Jing Chen's severe injuries and significant blood loss.
Yan Xi couldn't bear to refuse him.
Mu Qing Xiang didn't understand why Fu Yan Ting was standing outside someone else's ward. As she approached and saw Yan Xi and Mu Jing Chen inside, Mu Qing Xiang understood why Fu Yan Ting was standing there.
However, as the saying goes, children and grandchildren will make their own way.
Previously, Mu Qing Xiang had strongly opposed Yan Xi and Fu Yan Ting being together. But the last time Fu Yan Ting was in the operating room, Yan Xi had stayed by the hospital day and night. No matter how much she tried to make things difficult for Yan Xi, Yan Xi never left, which greatly changed Mu Qing Xiang's perception of her.
Fu Yan Ting was an adult; he had the ability to think and the right to choose.
Mu Qing Xiang decided not to interfere anymore.
Even if Fu Yan Ting eventually ended up with Yan Xi, Mu Qing Xiang had no intention of stopping them.
But now, to be personally witnessed by Fu Yan Ting, the scene of Yan Xi caring for Mu Jing Chen in the ward.
It was likely that Fu Yan Ting's heart was in great pain, especially since Yan Xi hadn't visited him even once after he regained consciousness.
Mu Qing Xiang instinctively began to plead on Yan Xi's behalf.
She looked at Fu Yan Ting and said softly, "Yan Ting, Xi Xi is a good girl. When you were in the operating room before, Xi Xi stayed outside the operating room day and night until you were out of danger. Then she went back to rest."
No matter how Mu Qing Xiang explained Yan Xi's kindness to Fu Yan Ting, he wouldn't listen.
Fu Yan Ting only believed what his eyes saw.
Yan Xi disregarded his feelings and didn't visit him when he was sick or injured in the hospital multiple times.
Now, Mu Jing Chen was hospitalized, and Yan Xi was caring for him so attentively.
