Chapter 144 I’m Afraid of Never Seeing Her Smiling Face Again
Wen Zhixia was dizzy when Fu Ruoshi carried her out of the car.
She could hear a familiar voice lingering in her ears, with a tone of urgency and anxiety. When she opened her eyes, she could only see a blurry figure, as if there was a thin film between her eyes and ears and the world, hazy and unreal.
She instinctively grabbed the person in front of her as if he were a life-saving straw, and dared not let go.
"Wen Zhixia?"
Fu Ruoshi saw that Wen Zhixia had not fainted, but her eyes seemed half awake and half unconscious, and her whole body fell limply into his arms, but her hands were tightly grasping the collar of his shirt, unable to let go.
"I'll take you home."
He held Wen Zhixia sideways in his arms and felt her thin body still trembling slightly. He knew that she must have been extremely frightened.
"Don't be afraid, you'll be fine."
Wen Zhixia leaned against his chest, hearing his rising and falling heartbeat and the resonance between his words. Her ear was close to his heart, and the vigorous vitality was beating in his chest.
She gradually felt at ease and loosened her clenched hands.
"I... I'm not afraid..."
She finished this sentence with a weak breath and gradually lost consciousness.
Fu Ruoshi carried Wen Zhixia to her car, checked her from head to toe to make sure she was not injured, and finally took a blanket from the trunk to cover her.
After he finished his work, the rain and cold sweat on his body had dried up, and the wind blew through him, making him feel cool all over.
At the same time, Liu Zhen had already found out the origin of her car.
"Mr. Fu, look, this car's brakes are failing due to a hydraulic system malfunction." He brought along a few driving school employees. "We checked it out. This car was recently refurbished, so there's nothing else wrong with it. The original owner was her best friend, Fan Xiaolin, and this car is only five years old, so it's not that old."
Fu Ruoshi pondered and asked him, "Let's ask the insurance company to take a look. Is there any possibility that it was man-made?"
He had heard too many cases of people disguising their deaths by car accidents in the circle, so he couldn't help but be suspicious of it, and his first reaction was even that it was man-made.
"Okay, Mr. Fu, we'll investigate immediately."
Before leaving, he gave more than a dozen cartons of cigarettes to the people at the driving school and took out a box of top-quality Pu'er tea from his car as a thank you. He always kept some good tea and cigarettes in his car for times like this.
On the way back, Wen Zhixia was in a daze and the tinnitus continued. Sometimes she could hear Fu Ruoshi talking to her, but she couldn't hear it clearly.
"I want to go home," she said. "I want to go back to my own home."
Fu Ruoshi was originally driving towards the villa. He called a private doctor to examine her, but Wen Zhixia insisted on going home, so he had no choice but to agree to her.
After returning to the community, he carried Wen Zhixia all the way upstairs, took out the key from her bag with ease, opened the door, and returned to the familiar space.
"Lie down for a while."
Fu Ruoshi put Wen Zhixia on the bed and covered her with a quilt.
Wen Zhixia didn't have the energy to speak, she nodded, "Yeah."
Seeing her being so well-behaved, which was rare for her, Fu Ruoshi's eyes were filled with infinite heartache and pity.
"I'm going to boil some hot water."
After lying on the bed, Wen Zhixia fell into a deep sleep. She had many bizarre dreams. Sometimes she was back in high school, sometimes she was at her wedding with Fu Ruoshi, and sometimes she was taking an exam but couldn't answer a single question.
Not long after, the Fu family's private doctor came to examine her. Apart from minor abrasions on her hands and feet, there was nothing wrong with her.
When I woke up again, it was dark all around.
She was woken up by a call from Fan Xiaolin.
Fan Xiaolin's voice was filled with nervousness. "Baby, are you okay? I got a call from the insurance company. Oh my god, I didn't kill you, did I? I'm still on a business trip. How about I ask my parents to take care of you for a few days?"
"Don't worry," Wen Zhixia's voice was still a little hoarse, "Don't bother uncle and aunt, I'm fine, don't be nervous."
Fan Xiaolin said doubtfully, "When I went to check the car, they said there was nothing wrong with it. Are 4S stores so unreliable nowadays? I'm going to look for them when I get back."
"Baby, don't..." Wen Zhixia didn't finish her words when the phone was disconnected.
It turned out that her cell phone was out of battery.
When we were in the car before, the phone had 10% of its battery left, and just now Fan Xiaolin's phone used up the last 1%.
The sudden darkness and silence made Wen Zhixia inexplicably panic.
She quickly got out of bed, turned on the light eagerly, and then opened the bedroom door to get some fresh air.
The moment she opened the door, she smelled a familiar scent of cigarettes, and then saw Fu Ruoshi sitting at the dining table, cigarette in one hand, brows furrowed as he read documents.
The warm yellow light shone on his hair. He took off his coat and simply put on a white shirt. The loose hair in front of his forehead hung down, and he still looked vaguely like he did when he was a teenager.
For some reason, this scene gave her an unprecedented sense of security.
"you're awake!"
When Fu Ruoshi saw her come out, he immediately relaxed his frown and asked, "Are you hungry? Are you feeling unwell?"
"You," Wen Zhixia looked at the documents on his desk, "You've been here all the time? Are you working?"
Fu Ruoshi said, "Not really, I don't have anything to do. I fried two dishes while waiting for you. See if they are delicious."
After saying that, he pulled Wen Zhixia into the kitchen, opened the rice cooker, and on top of the hot rice was a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a roasted chicken leg.
"You did this?"
Wen Zhixia was stunned. She had been married to Fu Ruoshi for three years, and it was rare for her to have a meal with him at the same table. Now she could even see him cook, which was simply impossible.
"I must not be awake yet," Wen Zhixia turned around, "No, no, I'm going back to sleep."
She had only taken two steps when she was stopped by Fu Ruoshi.
"You're awake," Fu Ruoshi looked at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "If you don't believe me, pinch your arm and see if it hurts."
Wen Zhixia pinched Fu Ruoshi's arm hard.
"hiss!!!"
The hand holding the scalpel must have been quite strong. Fu Ruoshi was pinched by her and his face looked very funny. "I told you to pinch yourself!"
"Pfft..." Wen Zhixia lowered her head and laughed, "Am I stupid? Why am I pinching myself?"
Fu Ruoshi looked at her smiling, a little absent-minded. What would happen to Wen Zhixia if he hadn't made this call today? What would happen to him if he never saw her smiling face again?
Thinking of this, he suddenly couldn't control his emotions. He hugged Wen Zhixia into his arms and greedily breathed in the familiar fragrance of her hair.
"You really scared me to death..."
He hugged her, his voice choked with sobs.
Wen Zhixia was caught off guard by his embrace, and his hot embrace wrapped her in it. She had once been so attached to such an embrace that she stayed in it unconsciously.
Seeing that she didn't struggle or push him away, Fu Ruoshi felt happy again.
She didn't push me away, so she must be slowly accepting me.
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, he was pushed away by Wen Zhixia.
"The food is getting cold." Wen Zhixia lowered her eyes, avoiding Fu Ruoshi's burning gaze. "Let's eat first. I'm a little hungry."
