Chapter 465
Zhou Shuwan was still staring at the figure in a daze when the other person came forward, protected her back with one hand, held her arm with the other, and carefully pulled her down from the half-height ice layer. He used his body to shield her from the snow that was blowing towards her, and then went into the house.
I have to say, with him blocking the way in front, she finally felt better.
After closing the door, the sound of wind and snow outside finally died down a bit.
Qi Mingyu took off his mask before taking hers.
Zhou Shuwan blinked and was about to speak when Grandma Pang and Mu Mu came over: "Wanwan"
"sister!"
"Why are you back?"
"It's too dangerous. Are you okay? Grandma, take a look..."
She was surrounded by two people and looked around.
Grandma Pang scolded again, "You kid, Xiaoyu and Mumu are at home. How could you come back alone in such a heavy snowstorm? Thank God, you're okay!"
"Sister, how did you come back? Are you hurt? Are you feeling unwell?" Mu Mu looked at her very worriedly.
Qi Mingyu just looked at her but didn't say anything.
Zhou Shuwan glanced at him. Not wanting to worry his family, he didn't tell them about his injury. "It's nothing serious. I came back smoothly. I left this morning and now..."
She looked up at the clock on the living room wall.
It's already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Including their treatment in the greenhouse, it has now taken a full 9 hours.
"Just a few hours," she said.
Qi Mingyu frowned slightly, walked forward and gently held her shoulders.
Zhou Shuwan's expression changed slightly, as if he was in some pain.
As soon as he brought her into the house, he noticed that her back was stiff and her right arm seemed unable to stretch out, as if she was injured.
"Is your back injured? Where?" he asked in a deep voice.
"What happened? Is it serious?" Grandma Pang asked hurriedly, her face full of concern.
Zhou Shuwan hurriedly said, "It's nothing serious. It's been bandaged in the greenhouse."
"Come to the bedroom, let me see."
Time is running out and they have to clear the snow off the roof as soon as possible.
Qi Mingyu held Zhou Shuwan's wrist and walked to the bedroom. He turned around and said to Mu Mu, "Mu Mu, get ready first. We'll go back to the roof later."
"Hey, good!"
After entering the bedroom and closing the door, Qi Mingyu began to take off Zhou Shuwan's clothes.
Seeing that he looked serious and stern, Zhou Shuwan just stood there quietly without moving.
They have been married for many years, so of course she can tell at a glance that the other person is very unhappy at the moment!
Zhou Shuwan wore a black down jacket and sweater under her air-conditioned suit, plus constant temperature underwear.
Qi Mingyu first helped her take off her air-conditioned clothes and down jacket. As her arms were raised, Zhou Shuwan let out a gasp.
The painkillers I had taken when I left the greenhouse had worn off.
My back felt like it was burning with pain.
Qi Mingyu paused and became more gentle.
After taking off the down jacket, the bruises on Zhou Shuwan's back could be clearly seen through the sweater.
Qi Mingyu's heart trembled, and his slender fingers gently pulled her sweater and underwear, rolling them up together.
Maybe there is someone around me who cares about me.
Zhou Shuwan felt that the injury was much more painful now than when he was in the greenhouse, especially when the clothes were rolled up, the wound would be touched even if he was careful.
She gasped, and mist rose in front of her eyes.
Between her shoulder blades, her back was swollen to two inches thick. Although it was bandaged, the dark purple bruises at the edges were still visible. One could imagine how shocking the area covered by the bandage must have been.
Even though Qi Mingyu had prepared himself mentally, his heart still trembled when he saw such a serious injury.
He couldn't help but stretch out his hand, as if wanting to touch it, but immediately pulled it back.
He asked, "You came from the greenhouse? What happened? You saw the doctor. What did the doctor say? Is there anything wrong with the bones?"
Qi Mingyu has always been gentle, considerate, tolerant and generous in front of her.
Zhou Shuwan was really uncomfortable with the sudden change of expression.
She hurriedly recounted her and Tao Zheng's experiences along the way. They first went out to get emergency help but got stuck halfway, then went to the grocery store, and then went home with Tao Zheng...
But an accident happened on the way and he went down to the greenhouse from the maintenance department.
Qi Mingyu had been listening quietly. Upon hearing this, he asked, "What's the accident?"
"The building in that alley collapsed, blocking our way... I was actually hit by a falling block of ice. Tao Zheng's injuries were more serious. He sprained his ankle twice, and his ankle is swollen as high as a steamed bun! The doctor strictly forbade him to walk again, otherwise he would have come with me... Brother Xiaoyu, you must thank him later!"
As she said the last sentence, she raised her eyelashes, and there was a hint of flattery and coquettishness in her watery almond eyes.
Qi Mingyu suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
She risked her life and somehow managed to climb for seven or eight hours in the snowstorm just to get home as soon as possible!
How could he blame her for disregarding her own safety?
How could he bear to let her, who was injured, have to look at his face!
He lowered his head and rested his forehead against hers. He slowly let out a breath, and his expression softened. "Just lie on the bed and don't move. Let grandma take care of you! After Mu Mu and I clear the snow, we'll take a good look at your injury."
His tone was gentle, filled with deep sympathy.
Zhou Shuwan hesitated a bit: "Mumu... Is that okay? I'm already back, so why don't I go too? It'll be faster with more people..."
"Why can't he? He's already eighteen years old, not a child anymore!" Qi Ming looked at her gloomily: "When I was eighteen, I had already joined the army and carried out all kinds of missions..."
Zhou Shuwan saw that he was unhappy again, and thought to himself why this person was so irritable today!
It’s better to stay away from it!
She smiled a little: "You are the best! Mu Mu has to learn from you!"
Qi Mingyu sighed softly, suppressing the various complex emotions of anger, worry, love, and depression that were floating in his heart. Then he said softly, "Wanwan, what I mean is that in this family, as long as Mumu and I are here, you don't have to charge into battle and fight for your life, nor do you have to protect everyone behind you like an iron lady! Mumu and I will stand in front of you, and you, your parents, and grandma, just hide behind us! Got it?"
Zhou Shuwan was stunned.
Qi Mingyu had already opened the quilt on the bed and carefully helped her lie down: "I'll let grandma take care of you. Wait for me to come back!"
He gave Zhou Shuwan a light kiss on her smooth forehead, and without saying anything else, he stood up and left.
When Grandma Pang came in with the plate, Zhou Shuwan was still stunned.
"Wanwan, come here and drink some hot water. I see your lips are dry and chapped."
Grandma Pang didn't let Zhou Shu get up late, so she put a straw into the cup and handed the hot water to her mouth.
Zhou Shuwan was indeed very thirsty.
Although the journey was not long, they experienced many dangers. She and Tao Zheng faced the threat of death several times, so they consumed a lot of energy.
If Grandma Pang didn't say anything, she wouldn't care.
