11: The 11th Chapter: It Wasn’t a Delusion After All 11: The 11th Chapter: It Wasn’t a Delusion After All Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Although Su Lu was hiding in the unfinished main building, she still felt the immense power of the storm.
Because the wind was so strong, the rain was almost blowing in horizontally!
The moisture was swept in by the fierce wind, making everything wet even inside the main building.
The corner where Su Lu was hiding was the only dry spot she found after being splashed by the rain several times.
But it was still cold.
She was soaked to the skin, and the drafty building with no doors or windows was filled with bone-chilling wind.
Su Lu huddled in the corner against the wall, feeling feverish and very groggy.
The already low battery of her phone was completely drained, and she had no idea how much time had passed.
In her daze, she seemed to hear someone calling her name.
Su Lu thought in a daze, “Am I hallucinating?” I actually thought I heard Bo Jingshen’s voice.
She shook her head, which only made her headache and dizziness worse.
But the seemingly hallucinatory voice didn’t disappear; the sound was small and fragmented, as if blown away by the wind.
Su Lu’s parched lips moved slightly.
Jingshen.” She murmured like a mosquito’s whisper.
She could no longer hold on.
Her slender body, huddling in the corner, slid sideways.
She lay on the dusty and gritty cement floor.
A deep male voice, filled with urgency, grew closer.
The sky was dark, and the main building was even darker.
In the dim light, Bo Jingshen saw the slender body curled up in the corner.
Silent, disheveled, and fragile.
An invisible hand squeezed his heart tightly.
Bo Jingshen’s throat tightened, and his voice trembled.
Su Lu struggled to open her eyes.
She could hear footsteps coming closer.
When she opened her eyes…
Her breath almost stopped in her throat.
In the dim light, the tall silhouette against the light, was a man running towards her from the pouring rain and howling wind with a large backpack.
Tears slid down from the corner of Su Lu’s eyes.
she hadn’t thought of crying when she was in such a predicament.
But now she couldn’t control it.
Bo Jingshen reached out and touched her burning skin.
What on earth are you inspecting in such terrible weather?
Are you going to starve to death if you don’t work this hard?” He said angrily.
Su Lu raised her hand, lightly grasped his fingers, “Ah Shen.”
Her voice was slightly hoarse and very weak.
And this was a name she hadn’t heard for many years.
Bo Jingshen paused, and all his anger vanished in an instant.
Without saying a word, he put the large backpack he was carrying aside.
The waterproof backpack was well-prepared.
There were vacuum-packed hotel blankets, bottled water, energy bars, and a small first aid kit with common medicines and simple wound treatment supplies.
Su Lu, though groggy and cloudy, was very obedient and swallowed the antipyretic pill sent to her mouth.
She let him wrap her in the dry blanket.
Her whole body felt uncomfortable, but there was a sense of security.
Before falling into a deep sleep, she glanced at him in a daze.
But she couldn’t ponder any longer.
She fell into a deep sleep, which was more like a coma than sleep.
In her sleep, she seemed to be held tightly, as if it was that longed-for embrace.
When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital.
She was wearing striped hospital pajamas with a drip in her hand.
“You’re awake!” The nurse just came in.
Nurse: “Your fever was very high.
Since you were brought in this morning, you haven’t slept for long.”
Nurse: “The ambulance.
The rain and wind lessened a bit this morning, and the ambulance brought you back.”
The nurse came over and adjusted her drip speed.
“You’re from out of town, aren’t you?
Going to a construction site during a typhoon is too dangerous.
Fortunately, you only caught a cold and had a high fever, no injuries.”
Su Lu lowered her eyes and softly responded, “Mm.”
The nurse’s next words, however, made her suddenly raise her eyes.
Nurse: “The gentleman who was brought in with you was not so lucky.
He has a long cut on his back.
Thankfully, there are no internal injuries, but he lost a lot of blood.”
it wasn’t her imagination.
It turned out, he really went to find her.
Su Lu suddenly remembered the face she saw before she passed out…
that pale, handsome face.
At that time, was Bo Jingshen already injured?
The drip is not finished yet!”
Su Lu pulled out the needle and got out of bed.
She had already rushed to the ward door but suddenly realized she had to look back at the nurse.
The nurse was taken aback, “What?
“The gentleman who was brought in with me!
Where is he?” Her voice was urgent.
The VIP ward floor was not as busy and noisy as the usual hospital floors.
The corridor was very quiet.
Su Lu walked to the door of Room V27.
Jiang Li’s voice came from the half-open ward door.
“You mean, you’re still planning to attend that exhibition?
You really don’t let minor injuries stop you.”
“It doesn’t affect me.”
“Well, it doesn’t affect you, but at least you got injured honorably.
Even the doctor said you were pretty tough.
Driving around in a typhoon, weren’t you afraid that a tree might fall and crush your car?”
“Keep cursing, thank you very much.”
“Hey, I’m not cursing.
I’m just worried, man.
The flight was canceled.
I got here all the way from Feng City by train and car.
This is the most sincere friendship, okay?
never mind, I won’t ask.”
Jiang Li didn’t really think there was something wrong with Bo Jingshen being with a woman.
He just didn’t quite understand, why Su Lu?
there was an old flame?
But Jiang Li didn’t dare to ask more.
Su Lu stood outside the door, and her hand hanging by her side trembled slightly.
drove to the construction site to find her in such weather.
Even the driver didn’t dare to drive there and stopped at a gas station halfway to avoid the storm.
Su Lu raised her slightly trembling hand, ready to push the door and enter.
Suddenly, a cold and indifferent female voice came from behind, “Who are you?
Why are you standing at the door eavesdropping?”
Su Lu turned around and saw a beautiful woman standing behind her, looking at her with scrutinizing eyes.
Wearing a tailored suit that highlighted her slender figure, she looked sharp and crisp.
Her beauty was stunningly obvious.
Su Lu suddenly thought of the name mentioned by the captain in the conversation with Bo Jingshen when they got off the plane—Cainan.
Zhuang Cai Nan’s face showed a hint of fatigue she couldn’t hide.
She waved her hand, “Forget it.
Then she brushed past Su Lu and pushed the door into the ward.
