Chapter 245 Sigh, I can manage on my own.
Lu Congyue still got into trouble.
As things were coming to an end, he was about to make a deal with someone when a group of his own people surrounded the house outside, while he was surrounded by seven or eight people inside.
When his scheme was exposed, those people killed him.
However, he had been hunting in the mountains since he was a child and had also learned martial arts from the retired soldiers in the village, so he was only injured.
When Zhuang Qingxiang saw Lu Congyue again, he was lying in the hospital.
Zhuang Qingxiang's pent-up fear erupted the moment she saw him; her hands and body trembled uncontrollably.
Although Xiao Qianyue's biological father was a beast, she was just as afraid when the news of his death came.
"You..." As soon as she opened her mouth, tears streamed down her face.
Lu Congyue had bandages wrapped around his head, arms, and stomach. He tried to sit up in a hurry, but then hissed in pain.
The sound was like pressing a button, which startled Zhuang Qingxiang awake. She rushed to the bedside and pressed him down.
"Don't get up, you're so badly injured...does it hurt?"
She cried uncontrollably as she spoke.
Lu Congyue was so angry that he wanted to settle accounts with someone.
What's this little injury? Didn't I tell you not to tell her? He'll be fine after a few days in the hospital. When he gets home, he'll just say he was away on a business trip for a few days. She won't worry at all.
"Uh... Well, sister-in-law, you stay and take care of him. Don't worry about the children, let Xiao Dai and the others take care of them." Meng Shuisheng said this from the doorway and then quickly left.
Zhuang Qingxiang quickly withdrew her hand, eager to find the person.
"Officer Meng... Meng..."
"Hiss..." Another sound of pain came from behind, and Zhuang Qingxiang was so frightened that she ran back to the bedside.
"Lu Congyue, what's wrong? Where does it hurt?"
This little injury, this little pain...
Lu Congyue frowned: "My whole body aches, it hurts so much, Qingxiang, am I too useless? I got such a serious injury from such a small thing..."
Zhuang Qingxiang panicked even more when she saw him like this: "I'll go call the doctor."
"No need, the doctor just left and told me to bear with it." Lu Congyue said sadly, "You just called Meng Shuisheng back, is it... is it because you want him to take care of me? I know you're worried about the child and don't want to take care of me. I'm fine, you can go, I can manage on my own."
Zhuang Qingxiang did want Meng Shuisheng to stay and take care of him.
It wasn't because she didn't want to take care of him, but because she felt like she was trapped in a nightmare ever since she heard that Lu Congyue was injured.
The things others said to her before actually hit her hard.
She often wondered if she was the jinx that others said she was.
Otherwise, why would Mother have had to take her away from the farm?
He thought he would have a good life after marrying someone else, but she died young.
She endured years of hardship at her stepfather's house until she was twenty-nine years old before finally getting married. However, her husband died in the mountains just a year later.
In her past life, her daughter and son both died because of her, and she herself died an undignified death.
She survived this life, so Lu Congyue's bad luck started again...
Zhuang Qingxiang felt that getting a marriage certificate with Lu Congyue was a mistake. He was a good person, capable, and had a bright future. He shouldn't be dragged down by her.
He barely survived, what if something happens to him again if she comes to watch over him?
Zhuang Qingxiang felt flustered. Lu Congyue clearly saw her eyelashes tremble slightly, and her eyes revealed regret and fear.
Lu Congyue's fingers twitched slightly under the blanket. He sighed, "I understand. Go back and take care of the child. After my mother died, I got used to living alone. You know my father and stepmother; they've never cared about me... I have no other relatives..."
"I'll explain it to you from above. I'm not that fragile."
After saying that, he struggled to get up again.
Zhuang Qingxiang was already feeling guilty after what he said, so when she saw him about to get up, she quickly said, "Don't move."
Lu Congyue smiled wryly: "My mouth is terribly thirsty. The doctor told me not to drink water before, but now... I can do it myself. You can go back."
"No, don't move, let me help you." Zhuang Qingxiang had no time to think about her messy thoughts and quickly poured him some water.
He was so badly injured and in so much pain, and he had no other relatives to take care of him. She couldn't just leave him like that.
Zhuang Qingxiang poured a glass of water and blew on it, wanting to cool it down quickly so he could drink it.
While blowing on it, she also urged him not to rush, saying that he would be able to drink it soon.
"Thank you, you've really gone to so much trouble." Lu Congyue was both grateful and saddened. "Actually, you don't need to worry so much. After you leave, I'll still have to take care of myself. It's good to get used to it sooner. If I really can't move... I'll just have to bear it."
Zhuang Qingxiang's face was scrunched up with worry. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If all else fails, can you ask a nurse to help you when I'm not around? And what about Officer Meng? He can't just abandon you like this, can he? You got injured while trying to help them."
"..." Lu Congyue looked troubled. "We just arrested the person, and we need to follow up on the follow-up matters as soon as possible. Meng Shuisheng and the others are busy, and as for the nurses..."
Lu Congyue looked embarrassed: "The nurses are all women, I feel awkward asking them to help me go to the toilet..."
Zhuang Qingxiang was stunned for a moment, and then felt embarrassed as well.
Lu Congyue glanced at her and chuckled dryly, "It's alright, I'll figure something out myself."
Zhuang Qingxiang thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with any other solutions.
If Sun Yongxian and Shi Peiran were here, it would be appropriate for Shi Peiran to take care of Lu Congyue.
As for other people... she really couldn't think of any acquaintances in the provincial capital.
There was only one Dai Hongying, but she was a young woman and couldn't possibly take care of Lu Congyue's every need.
"Well... the water's ready to drink. Let me help you have a couple of sips."
Zhuang Qingxiang couldn't think of a solution, so she simply stopped thinking about it. The most important thing now was to get him to drink some water, as his lips were so dry they were peeling.
But even getting water was a problem. Lu Congyue was covered in injuries, and it hurt whenever he moved. He couldn't get up on his own, and she couldn't help him either. If she tried to help him up even slightly, he would cry out in pain.
Even tilting his head to drink was difficult; the water spilled out as soon as the teacup was brought close, almost wetting the gauze on his shoulder.
Lu Congyue licked his lips and apologized, "Sorry, how about I hold back a little longer and drink it when I feel better and can get up? Otherwise, if I get the bed wet, the nurses will probably think I'm a nuisance."
"Otherwise, I'll go ask someone to borrow a spoon." Zhuang Qingxiang couldn't bear to see him so pitiful.
Lu Congyue frowned: "I don't like using things that other people have used, let alone things that go in my mouth. What if there's some infectious disease? I'm already weak, and I might get infected..."
"Yes, yes, we can't use other people's things," Zhuang Qingxiang quickly said. "I'm sorry, I didn't think of that! How about I go home and get some of your hospital supplies?"
Lu Congyue's eyes twitched, and he looked even weaker and more powerless. He licked his lips and said, "Fine... but it'll take you an hour to walk back and forth... Never mind, I'll just bear with it a little longer..."
"Well, that's the only way. Don't worry, I'll be right back."
As Zhuang Qingxiang was about to leave after speaking, her clothes were suddenly pulled back.
