Chapter Twenty-Six: Dust to Dust, Dust to Dust

"Sister Zhixia!

Feeling her body shaking, in a trance, Yao Zhixia heard a girl anxiously shouting her name.

She struggled to lift her heavy eyelids, barely revealing a slit, only to be immediately pierced and closed by the bright light in front of her.

"Xue Rin, Xue Rin...... Save him...... Hurry up and ......" Yao Zhixia tried his best to grasp something, but he couldn't do it.

"Sister Zhixia!You'll be fine!Hold on!"

Yao Zhixia felt her hand being held by a warm and soft hand, and an ethereal and familiar voice echoed in her ears.

"Xue Rin......"

Yao Zhixia felt as if she was floating in the air, a cool breeze quickly swept across her cheeks, and the name kept repeating in her mind until darkness hit again.

----

"Tick...... Backbite...... Tick"

Yao Zhixia closed her eyes, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in her nose, and in a trance, she thought she was lying on the grass, and the warm sun made her cheeks hot, and she instinctively raised her hand to cover it.

"Hey, don't move!" the arm was instantly pressed down and placed securely at his side.

"Sister Zhixia, Sister Zhixia, are you awake?" the girl's voice was excited and anxious.

"Hmm......" Yao Zhixia replied tiredly, and then slowly opened his eyes, and was greeted by a white ceiling and white walls.

"Sister Zhixia, you're finally awake! Don't be afraid! Everything is fine!

Yao Zhixia turned his head and saw Liu Piaopiao with an excited face.

When Liu Piaopiao saw her looking at her, she was so happy that her facial features were crowded together, she bent down and wanted to touch Yao Zhixia's face, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she suddenly remembered something, and immediately pressed the button on the wall.

"Piao Piao, you...... I ......" Yao Zhixia was a little confused.

"Sister Zhixia, you have been rescued! God has really appeared! Give me back Sister Zhixia again!" Liu Piaopiao squatted beside the hospital bed and wrapped her arms around Yao Zhixia's legs.

"Piaopiao, where is Xue Rin? How is he? Has he been rescued?" Yao Zhixia said as she struggled to sit up.

Liu Piaopiao saw her struggling appearance, and immediately got up to help her up and let her lean against the head of the bed.

"You mean the person who was rescued with you, right? Director Gong said that he was infected and still in a coma, but there was no danger to his life, don't worry. ”

Seeing that Yao Zhixia's lips were chapped, Liu Piaopiao turned around and picked up the kettle to pour water for her.

"Oh, that's good, he's still alive, great, he's still alive......" Yao Zhixia muttered as he stared at the white quilt covering his body.

"Sister Zhixia, come, drink some water. Liu Piaopiao didn't have the heart to pay attention to what she was talking to herself, just took care of her wholeheartedly.

"Then ......" Yao Zhixia was about to continue asking, but was interrupted by several doctors and nurses who rushed over.

After various examinations, the doctor announced that Yao Zhixia was fine, but he was a little malnourished, and he had some fever due to the rain and emotion, but as long as he was recuperated by infusion, he could be discharged from the hospital in two days.

After the doctors and nurses left, Liu Piaopiao was obviously much more relaxed, she hummed a little song to change the water for the lilies next to the bed, moved a stool to the bedside, and peeled the apples.

Looking at Liu Piaopiao, who was frowning and pouting, and the small cut off apple skin, Yao Zhixia couldn't help but snicker, but she didn't plan to interrupt her, and enjoyed this apple of love happily.

When Liu Piaopiao's peeling business was finally completed, the side of the apple had begun to oxidize, but she still happily cut off a small piece and handed it to Yao Zhixia's mouth.

"Sister Zhixia, be careful with the knife when biting!"

Yao Zhixia smiled and bit down on this hard-won apple, the sweet and sour juice bloomed in his mouth, as if he had eaten a peerless delicacy, he hadn't eaten it for a few days, but it was as if half a life had passed.

"It's delicious!" swallowing the flesh, Yao Zhixia couldn't help but say.

"Of course! I have been blessed by Liu Piaopiao!" Liu Piaopiao patted her chest proudly, and then cut out a piece of apple and handed it to Yao Zhixia.

"Piaopiao, don't worry, I promise to eat it all up in a while, I want to ask you, how did we get rescued?" Yao Zhixia asked impatiently.

Liu Piaopiao withdrew his hand, put the apple on the plate, cleared his throat and said: "The two of you are really blessed and fateful, the island where you two are displaced is at the very edge of the search range, and the search and rescue team has not found it at all, it was the passing operation ship that found you." ”

"So, they saw the fire I lit?"

"Well, I only learned that you were rescued after receiving a call from Director Gong, and Director Gong said that the operation ship saw the fire in the distance, and immediately realized that someone was calling for help, because that sea area is a route that only the operation ship can pass through. ”

"Hmm. ”

Yao Zhixia was happy and sad, happy that his last desperate fight really worked, and the sad thing is that if he had broken the kettle earlier, wouldn't Xue Rin have to suffer so many crimes?

"Xue Rin is also being treated in this hospital, is he?

"Oh, don't worry, he's on the VIP floor, and there is a long queue of people who take care of him! It's not our turn! His father and mother, Director Gong's parents are here, before I went to buy food, when I passed the hall on the first floor, I saw Director Gong followed by a group of people in suits!

Yao Zhixia was not surprised by this, but after listening to Liu Piaopiao's words, she couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart, now that he is back, where is her turn to worry?

"Who is Director Gong you've been talking about?"

"Director Gong? I haven't told you yet! It's a coincidence, Director Gong is the director of the sales department of our mall, and I haven't seen him before, you know? He has been working in our mall for almost a year!" Liu Piaopiao said as she picked up a piece of apple and stuffed it into her mouth.

"I mean, what is the relationship between Director Gong and Xue Rin? He is the director of the sales department of our mall? So Xue Rin is ......" Yao Zhixia noticed something, but a feeling welled up in her heart that she didn't want to touch, which made her subconsciously avoid thinking.

"They should be good buddies who have played together since childhood, when they searched and rescued you, Director Gong's parents came, it is estimated that the two of them are world friends, and when they look at Xue Rin's parents' temperament, they are not simple people. Liu Piaopiao pursed her lips and analyzed matter-of-factly.

"How did you know Director Gong?

Listening to Liu Piaopiao's mouth, there is a "Director Gong" on the left and a "Director Gong" on the right, Yao Zhixia always feels that they seem to be very familiar.

"We, we are...... Well...... After the accident between the two of you, he called Director Gong, and I heard it, so I ...... I went with him to the search and rescue center, and I got to know him. ”

As soon as she thought of her acquaintance with Gong Yan, Liu Piaopiao felt very embarrassed, and didn't want Yao Zhixia to know what happened that time, so she simply played a side ball, but her heart was still inevitable, and when it came to the back, she even weakened her voice.

Yao Zhixia naturally heard the loophole at once, but it was rare to see such a shy and twisted Liu Piaopiao, so she just smiled and didn't dig deeper.

"Oh! As soon as you came back, you asked about the east and west! Asked how Xue Rin was, asked who Director Gong was, and didn't ask me how I was doing in your absence!

Liu Piaopiao suddenly raised her voice, hugged her arms, pursed her lips, and glared at Yao Zhixia with an angry look.

"Oh! It's all Sister Zhixia's fault, we must be for me to think about tea and dinner, can't sleep at night, run to the search and rescue center every day to find me, and wait for my news with Director Gong......"

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Liu Piaopiao nodded proudly, but as soon as she heard the words "Director Gong", she immediately widened her eyes and looked at Yao Zhixia angrily, but she was so anxious that she couldn't speak: "You ......"

"Huh?" Yao weaves a silly summer dress.

Liu Piaopiao didn't know what to do, so she could only pick up a piece of apple and stuff it into Yao Zhixia's mouth, "Eat the apple!

Yao Zhixia was stuffed with apples like a greedy squirrel, her cheeks puffed out, and her eyes curved into a crescent crescent.

It is a great happiness to be alive, and even happiness is overflowing when he is alive.

----

After two days of fluid infusion, most of his physical strength has recovered, but Yao Zhixia's heart is always unsteady, and the idea of going outside the ward has been faintly troubled.

At noon that day, while Liu Piaopiao was going out to buy lunch, she thought about it and escaped in a hospital gown.

Standing in front of the floor diagram in the corridor, Yao Zhixia quickly searched for the floor where the VIP ward was located, and after confirming that it was the 9th floor, she trotted up the elevator upstairs.

"Ding!"

The 9th floor has arrived.

Yao Zhixia stepped out of the elevator and looked at the left and right sides of the corridor, she was not sure which room Xue Rin would be, so she had to gently raise her foot and choose a direction to look for.

The entire floor was silent, and she listened all the way, for fear of missing something.

Just as she was looking left and right, the door of a ward not far in front of her suddenly opened, and out came a man in a suit, he was tall, with neat short hair, and a high spirit between his eyebrows.

The man also saw Yao Zhixia in a hospital gown, he looked at her friendly, and when the two passed by, he bowed his head slightly, and greeted her silently with a smile.

Yao Zhixia saw the other party's movements, hurriedly leaned over, pursed his lips and nodded.

Leaving the man away, Yao Zhixia stopped, stood on tiptoe curiously, and looked through the glass window above the door into the room where the man had come out.

The coffee table in the room was full of bouquets of flowers and fruits, and there was a man sitting on the chair next to the bed, because the man was sitting with his back to the door, he couldn't see his appearance, Yao Zhixia had to squint and carefully look at the person lying on the hospital bed.

But in the next second, Yao Zhixia's pupils dilated rapidly, and she stared at the sleeping person without blinking.

It's him!

The long hair covered the forehead and the side of the face, but the face seemed to be engraved in Yao Zhixia's heart, and even from a few meters away, she could recognize him in the blurred outline.

Yao Zhixia raised her hand and leaned on the glass window, stroking the outline of the room with her fingertips through the glass.

Xue Rin had an infusion tube attached to her hand, and the regular "tick" sound made her feel at ease, but suddenly, she realized that she had no reason to worry about him anymore, and she couldn't help but sink in her heart and hung her hand in frustration.

She lowered her eyes, and felt that the doorknob in front of her was as heavy as a lock, and she didn't dare to touch it anyway. It wasn't until her vision became blurry that she raised her head again and looked into the room reluctantly.

As if a century had passed, there was a "ding" sound in the distance, pulling her back from her slumber.

In the afterglow, a figure walked towards her, she quickly wiped her face indiscriminately, turned around and walked towards the elevator.

As soon as he went downstairs to send away the directors who came to visit Xue Rin, Qi Hang immediately rushed back, but as soon as he got off the elevator, he saw a girl in a hospital gown standing in front of his hospital room from a distance.

She was puzzled, the girl turned away in a panic, and when she passed by, Qi Hang clearly saw that her eyes were red, and she looked lost.

Before opening the door, Qi Hang couldn't help but look back again, only to see that the girl had quickened her pace, her thin back trembled violently, and she got into the elevator in the next second.

Before thinking about it, Qi Hang opened the door and entered the house, Xue Huaiyuan on the side of the bed turned his head, and when he saw that it was her, he stretched out a hand.

Qi Hang smiled and held his hand, she bowed down and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, I just asked the doctor, no problem, young man, you can be discharged from the hospital after a few days of recuperation." ”

"Thank you Qi Hang, I've been staying up with me day and night for the past two days, you can go back and have a good rest tonight, I'm watching here." Xue Huaiyuan slapped Qi Hang's hand.

"Hey, my son and husband are here, one is unconscious, and the other may have high blood pressure at any time, how can I have the heart to go home and sleep well! Qi Hang stood up and put his arms around Xue Huaiyuan's shoulders comfortingly.

Looking at Xue Rin who was sleeping on the hospital bed, Qi Hang's mind came to mind again the girl who escaped in a hurry just now, according to Gong Yan, when the work boat found them, Xue Rin and the waiter named Yao Zhixia were fainting on the beach next to each other.

Thinking of this, she suddenly understood something, but now that the situation was unclear, she decided to keep silent.

----

Liu Piaopiao, who was carrying lunch, was in a good mood waiting for the elevator on the first floor, the elevator door opened, and she was just about to squeeze in, but she saw Gong Yan coming out of the elevator.

Still hesitating whether to say hello, Gong Yan walked towards her with a smile.

"Buying food?" Gong Yan raised his chin.

"Hmm!" Somehow, when I saw him, I even raised my voice.

"How is your Sister Zhixia, Xue Rin is no longer in serious trouble, and she will be discharged from the hospital in two days. His brother was finally out of danger, and Gong Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"She has an infusion on her last day today, and she will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow!" Liu Piaopiao happily showed her two little tiger teeth.

Gong Yan nodded, thoughtfully, his eyes rolled and rolled, and he said hesitantly: "The two of us didn't go to the beach to do stupid things in vain." ”

"Well, Director Gong, I haven't had time to say thank you yet, thank you for your care and help these days. Liu Piaopiao's tone was sincere.

"Oh, that, you're welcome, that's ......" Gong Yan stopped talking.

"We, our company, I'll work hard!"

Liu Piaopiao had an indescribable feeling in her heart, obviously the person she was thinking about had returned, but she felt a kind of reluctance to part.

A moment of disappointment flashed in Gong Yan's eyes, but he returned to normal in an instant, and he couldn't help but glance around, as if he was hiding from something.

Liu Piaopiao's words, he didn't respond to a word, just nodded stiffly.

He raised his hand to gesture in the air, and finally just waved at Liu Piaopiao, and then scratched his hair.

The restless Liu Piaopiao didn't notice Gong Yan's unnaturalness at all, a smile squeezed out of the corner of her mouth, and beckoned to Gong Yan.

It wasn't until Gong Yan's back disappeared at the entrance of the hospital that her shaking hand slowly stopped, frozen in the air for a long time.

"Ding!"

Liu Piaopiao came back to his senses and turned to leave.
