Chapter 16 - Fell down
In the past, Gong Xun Zhong’s pleasure used to be working, keeping fit and watching the news, but now he has added a new pleasure, teasing Jiang Mian.
He grew up to be excellent and his belated rebelliousness has all been exerted on Jiang Mian, he had to sell a sword1贩剑 (fàn jiàn): has various meanings but in this context, it is a teasing fun interaction between friends, it could start in a serious manner and ends with the person self praising, making the opposite party speechless. a day, otherwise he feels something is missing in his life.
This is a rather nasty behaviour, Jiang Mian rebuked: “Do you think it’s appropriate for you to base your pleasure on my pain?”
Gong Xun Zhong nodded perfunctorily: “Drink the milk first.”
Jiang Mian’s mouth was covered in a circle of milk foam and he ended up sipping it with his mouth. Then, he took the tissue Gong Xun Zhong handed him and dried it off and threw it into the trash, silent.
“What was I saying?”
“I based my happiness on your pain.”
“Right,” Jiang Mian slapped Gong Xun Zhong’s thigh, “so when are you going back to China?”
Gong Xun Zhong looked at the place he had just patted and pondered for a moment: “Why do I need to go back to China?”
“Of course it’s to go back to work properly, you are the pillar of Gong Group, the country cannot be without the king, the company cannot be without the president.”
Jiang Mian admonished. Gong Xun Zhong said in his heart, why didn’t you say these words to yourself when you ran away, I’m afraid that you still don’t know that there was a traitor in the company.
Jiang Mian’s persuasion, of course, didn’t work on Gong Xun Zhong, this piece of dog skin plaster. When Xu Zheng came to look for Gong Xun Zhong, he looked around and said with relief: “President Gong, you look much better than before.”
Gong Xun Zhong snorted: “If I’ve gained weight, just say so.”
Xu Zheng shook his head: “Not fat, you used to be tense, but now you look very relaxed.”
“En, it’s probably because the feng shui here is good, it nourishes people.”
Gong Xun Zhong did not say much, Xu Zheng automatically brainstormed: oh oh oh, where the lady boss is, the feng shui nourishes people.
In the evening, Gong Xun Zhong was sitting in the small living room waiting for Jiang Mian to fall asleep before going back to his room when he suddenly heard him shouting in panic. He stood up violently and rushed over.
Jiang Mian had slipped on the floor when he got out of the bathtub. At that moment, he thought in his heart that he was finished.
Fortunately, having enough experience in fighting, he subconsciously braced himself with his arms as he approached the floor and avoided falling straight on his stomach. At this point, his ankle was aching and his stomach was just a little tight, but he wasn’t sure if something would go wrong.
He didn’t bring his mobile phone in and couldn’t move, he was about to try and call out to Gong Xun Zhong when he had already barged in: “Jiang Mian, how are you?”
“I, I don’t know, what to do ah Gong Xun Zhong……”
He was unclothed, the water hadn’t had time to dry. Gong Xun Zhong didn’t dare move him and pulled a bath towel to wrap him up and called an ambulance, squatting down to hold his hand.
“Don’t be scared, calm down first, tell me where you hurt.”
Jiang Mian tightly grasped Gong Xun Zhong, as if he found the backbone, took deep breaths to calm down: “Stomach is a little uncomfortable, my ankle hurts, I seem to have twisted it, and arm, just cushioned the fall.”
Gong Xun Zhong examined his arm, a piece of skin was knocked open, the blood dripping on the ground melting into the water was somewhat shocking, but fortunately he did not bleed below, Gong Xun Zhong thinks this should indicate that the foetus is safe at present.
He couldn’t see anything from the ankle, so he could only hastily bandage the wound on Jiang Mian’s arm and soothe him until the doctor arrived.
Jiang Mian was pushed in for examination, Gong Xun Zhong could not enter and stood at the doorway anxiously waiting, his heart was still palpitating at this point. Fortunately he came all the way here to catch Jiang Mian, fortunately he was at Jiang Mian’s side at this time.
The results of the examination were fortunate, the ankle was badly injured and the whole area was already purple and swollen, the arm injury was only traumatic and did not hurt the bones, the foetus in the belly was not greatly affected, but for safety reasons, he had to be hospitalised to be observed for a while.
Jiang Mian was lying on the hospital bed listlessly, Gong Xun Zhong touched the back of his hand: “Scared, right?”
Ice was just applied to his ankle and now his hands were still cold, Jiang Mian nodded: “I was scared to death.”
People are particularly dependent on others during illness and Jiang Mian is not looking at Gong Xun Zhong with displeasure anymore, his eyes are soft, so gentle that Gong Xun Zhong can’t help but want to rub them, but in the end, he only curled his fingers.
“It’s late, get some sleep ba.”
Jiang Mian was frightened and tired. Although his ankle was still dull and painful, he was really tired. With Gong Xun Zhong staring at him, he relaxed and slept on his side.
Xu Zheng sent some daily necessities: “Mr. Gong, you should also go and rest for a while too.”
“No need, I’ll watch him or I won’t feel at ease.”
