Fu Tingyu turned his head and saw her curious face. It was really different after she grew up. In the past, if she had known that he had lied to her like this, she would have been so angry and not be gentle with him.
He carefully recalled the feelings at that time. “I felt very nervous, and there was also the throbbing feeling of puberty. It felt like jelly and it tasted like strawberries, sweet and shy.”
In fact, she was also very nervous at that time because it was her first time giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a boy. As for how it felt, she could not remember.
After that incident, whenever she saw him, she would remember the image of giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to him.
Fu Tingyu looked at her. Perhaps it was because of the experience of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation after drowning that caused him to lie to her again later on.
When Jun Li woke up, it was the third day. Everyone was anxious.
Jun Li slowly opened his eyes. Because he had not seen daylight for a long time, he was not used to it. He opened his eyes and closed them again.
Qin Shu was so excited that she said: “Jun Li, you’re finally awake.”
Jun Li was already comfortable with the light. When he opened his eyes, he saw Qin Shu. He was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile: “Scared?”
Qin Shu nodded: “Yes, you’ve been unconscious for three days.”
Jun Li said, “Three days? No wonder I felt like I slept for a long time.”
“Wait a moment, I’ll get Gu Yan to check you again.”
After saying that, Qin Shu quickly walked out. Jun Li wanted to stop her, but he did not have time to say anything.
Seeing Qin Shu’s figure leave the ward, maybe he should not have come to Qi Hua this time.
Half an hour later
Gu Yan checked Jun Li’s pulse and looked at him. He had been observing Jun Li’s complexion for the past few days and could tell how his physical condition was from his complexion.
Compared to last year, Jun Li’s energy was much worse. Not only was his complexion pale, but there was also a trace of a morbid aura of death. This was something that ordinary people could not detect.
He asked: “How does your body feel?”
Jun Li replied indifferently: “In all aspects, it’s not as good as before. I feel as if I’ve been emptied inside out.”
Gu Yan did not hide his illness. “From the pulse just now, your liver has been destroyed by the poison. Your body is very weak. It’s so weak that even a cold can easily defeat you.”
Jun Li knew his body very well so when he heard Gu Yan’s words, his eyes did not have the slightest fluctuation. He said: “Don’t tell her.”
Gu Yan had treated him for a few years so he knew who he was talking about. He also wondered what the relationship between Jun Li and Qin Shu was?
“She will find out sooner or later.”
Jun Li paused and said: “We’ll talk about it later.”
Gu Yan sighed, stood up, and walked out.
Seeing Gu Yan come out, Qin Shu was the first to greet him and ask: “How is Jun Li?”
Gu Yan comforted her, “Don’t worry. His body is too weak, that’s why he fell into the water. Plus, he doesn’t know how to swim, that’s why he’s been unconscious for so long. He just needs to rest.”
Qin Shu was slightly relieved when she heard that. “That’s good.”
When Gu Yan came out, Su Ying walked in with a light porridge.
This time, Jun Li came out alone.
Su Ying rushed over after hearing the news.
When Jun Li got out of bed and walked around, it was the next morning. Su Ying pushed him to bask in the sun in the hospital.
His face was sickly pale. Under the sun, he looked even paler, with a sense of powerlessness.
Qin Shu and Fu Tingyu brought Xiao Jiu to see Jun Li.
When Xiao Jiu saw Jun Li, he took the lead and ran over with his two short legs. He grabbed the hem of his clothes and asked: “Uncle Jun, are you feeling better?”
Jun Li squatted down and looked at Xiao Jiu. “Much better.”Then he looked at the two people behind Xiao Jiu, Qin Shu and Fu Tingyu.
Qin Shu walked in front of Jun Li and stopped. Although Gu Yan said all he needed to do was to rest well, she was still very worried when she saw his current condition: “I heard that you are going back to the Imperial City tomorrow, is that right?”
Jun Li slowly stood up and smiled. “Yes, Professor Gu said to rest well so I want to go back and have a good rest.”
Jun Li indeed needed to rest. His entire state also looked very bad.
“I have a question that has puzzled me for a long time. I want to ask you.”
Fu Tingyu turned his head and looked at her. He could roughly guess what she wanted to ask.
Jun Li asked: “What question?”
“That time at Qi Hua Airport, you said that you got close to me because I was… I didn’t hear the last two words clearly, can you tell me?”
Qin Shu looked at him steadily, waiting for his answer.
Jun Li recalled that time at Qi Hua Airport and blurted out those words on impulse. He smiled. “You guess. I’ll tell you if you guess it.”
Qin Shu sighed: “If I could guess it, I wouldn’t have to ask you.”
Jun Li: “Actually, I was just saying it casually that day. Don’t take it seriously.”
Qin Shu was stunned! “You don’t seem like someone who would joke around.”
Jun Li said: “It’s fun to joke around once in a while.”
Qin Shu looked at Jun Li. Sometimes, she could not see through Jun Li either. He was always calm and collected but he also had a warm and friendly look. Even if he was angry, he did not seem to care.
It was difficult to guess what he was really thinking.
Jun Li returned to the Imperial City early the next morning. She sent him off personally.
Before Jun Li boarded the plane, she could not help but ask again: “Was that sentence really a joke?”
Jun Li smiled and nodded: “Yes.”
Qin Shu stared at Jun Li for a few seconds. She really could not see through whether what he said was true.
..
Qin Shu stood in the courtyard and watched Hua Wuyan play with Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu was much smarter than she was when she was young. She held the gun in a decent posture. Most importantly, she only learned for an hour before she was able to hit the ninth ring.
Han Xiao walked over and stood beside her. He looked at Xiao Jiu in the middle of the courtyard and said, “Xiao Jiu is very smart. She is so young, yet she was able to hit the ninth ring.”
Qin Shu smiled and asked: “What about you? How many rings were you able to hit when you were young?”
Han Xiao replied: “I only held the gun when I was six.”
“I started even later. I was ten years old.”
She started holding the gun in her first year on the mountain. Her master was afraid that she would be bored so he taught her marksmanship and let her play by herself.
Qin Shu’s marksmanship was good. Han Xiao had seen it when he was on Qi Mountain. She did not look like a beginner at all.
“Are you going back to Jiangcheng tomorrow?”
Qin Shu nodded: “Yes, Xiao Jiu has to go to school.”
After a few seconds of silence
“I’ll send you.”
“Okay.”
Yan Shuang took advantage of the fact that there was no one around Fu Tingyu to ask him in puzzlement: “Ling Yan, what’s wrong with your martial art strength?”
When Fu Tingyu jumped into the water, she realized that something was wrong. This was because when a martial artist’s martial art strength reached the peak level, their speed could not be so slow.
When he was learning martial arts on Qi Mountain, he was the most talented. It was impossible for him to slow down after so many years.
However, on the day when Jun Li drowned, she saw clearly that his speed was not just slightly slower.
Actually, this was not the first time she had suspected it. In the past few times, she had also noticed that his speed in all aspects had slowed down a lot. It was just that she had never thought about it seriously.
Fu Tingyu replied faintly: “I just attained the silver rank.”
