Chapter 54 - 54 53 Break Even

?54: Chapter 53: Break Even 54: Chapter 53: Break Even The man slowly opened his eyes.

In his ears, the sound of insects chirping could be heard.

In his field of vision, it was pitch black.

Surrounding him was a deserted area, he squinted and looked around, his pupils constricted, where was Tang Xi?

Had she…

left?

So eager to leave him behind.

In his heart, there unexpectedly arose a feeling of loss.

Never would he have imagined that she would just walk away and leave him here.

Indeed, why wouldn’t she leave?

Or else stay here to die in this trap?

No cell phone signal, no medication, surrounded by mosquitoes and ants, and it was already night.

Fu Tingzhou slowly sat up, stabilizing himself by leaning on a tree.

The man’s lips were tightly sealed, carefully observing the movements around him.

Fu Tingzhou had never imagined that one day, he would face such a dilemma, if it weren’t for saving that woman…

In his mind flashed a pair of clear and stubborn eyes of a woman.

He shook his head, but that woman’s face seemed to be unconsciously engraved deep in his mind.

Damn it!

This woman, with those eyes pretending to be pure and innocent, had deceived him!

Yet, he felt only disappointment in his heart, but no regret.

No regret for having saved her.

Struggling to take a few steps forward, the man finally ran out of energy.

He, Fu Tingzhou, had never thought that he would end up trapped like this.

Leaning against the tree, the man’s tall stature slowly collapsed.

Suddenly, a clear female voice.

“Fu Tingzhou—”

The voice was anxious and trembling.

He barely opened his eyes, watching a woman stumbling hurriedly towards him; the stifling air seemed to carry a faint fragrance of refreshing flowers.

He squinted his eyes, “Tang Xi.”

Was he hallucinating?

This face, how could it appear so clearly before him again?

“It’s me.” The woman embraced him, supporting his slowly falling body, she held him tight, her voice choked with sobs, “Fu Tingzhou, it’s me.”

Surprise flickered in his eyes, “Weren’t you…

didn’t you leave?”

“You saved me, how could I possibly leave.” The woman’s voice clearly came through, “You were unconscious, I went to fetch a rescue team, they are here, we will be saved.

You saved me, and I also saved you, we are even now.”

So she wanted to draw a line with him just like this?

Fu Tingzhou gathered all his strength to grasp her wrist, his palm was burning hot, scalding her skin, “Tang Xi, listen clearly, I saved you from drowning, and including this time, it’s twice!

We will never be even!

You will always owe me!”

“You…” Tang Xi widened her eyes, not understanding why this man suddenly became upset, clearly weakened by poison yet still so strong, the grip on her wrist hurt.

“Ouch, let go.” She bit her lip, pulled out her wrist, but suddenly saw the man’s palm.

A fierce, somewhat pale scar, obviously a recent cut, treated but barely bandaged, slightly crusted over.

What happened…

She didn’t remember when he got injured.

She always thought that the man only had the snake bite wound.

This wound was such that it clearly hadn’t been seen by a doctor, likely already infected.

Hurried footsteps approached, the rescue team had arrived.

A helicopter circled overhead.

–

In the hospital, Fu Tingzhou opened his eyes.

His palm was held by someone, and as he made out who it was, he frowned, “Mengshu, why are you here.”

Su Mengshu’s eyes were red, “Tingzhou, you’re awake, you scared me.”

She cried and threw herself into his arms, her shoulders trembling slightly, “I was so scared.”

The man gently patted her back, “I’m fine.”

Su Mengshu sobbed, “Tingzhou, as long as you are fine, that’s all that matters.”

“How is Tang Xi, where is she.”

He remembered, he was with her.

He remembered, at the moment before closing his eyes, she came.

Was it all a dream?

Or just a hallucination before he fell into a coma.

“Ah, her…” Hearing the man inquire about Tang Xi just after waking up made Su Mengshu’s face almost contort, she tried to smile, “My sister should be having dinner with Xiao Shao, she left with him just after coming out…”

As she spoke, Su Mengshu shyly smiled, “Xiao Shao seems to care a lot for my sister, I really hope they have a good time together.”

She said this while watching Fu Tingzhou’s face darken.

Su Mengshu smiled triumphantly, this was the effect she wanted, “Tingzhou, you’ve just woken up, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?

I’ll call the doctor over immediately.”

“No need, it’s late and you’ve also had a long day, go rest.”

“I’m not tired, I just want to stay by your side and look after you.

The doctor said you just had snake venom neutralized, you need someone to take care of you, how can I leave at a time like this.” Su Mengshu’s voice was tender, her smile ladylike, showing genuine concern for him.

Fu Tingzhou felt a bit guilty, Su Mengshu was so considerate for him, yet he felt annoyance towards her, his eyes softened, “Thank you for your hard work.”

–

“Miss Tang, I am going to apply your medicine, if it hurts, please endure it a bit.”

Tang Xi smiled, “I am a doctor too, I can handle this kind of pain.”

Usually, she was the one applying and changing bandages for patients.

Now, it was her turn.

The back of her hand had a snake bite, fortunately, it was not venomous.

Unexpectedly, there was a scratch on her ankle, continuously oozing blood.

“You, a young lady, why go to such a dangerous place?” The young male doctor frowned, helping her treat the wound.

This is the Fifth Hospital of North City.

The nearest hospital to the scenic area, Tang Xi and Fu Tingzhou were rescued, they were transferred by private car overnight and brought here for treatment; only after knowing that Fu Tingzhou was out of danger did Tang Xi come to the emergency room to treat her wounds.

She stood at the door of the ward, seeing him awake and holding Su Mengshu.

After treating her wounds, Tang Xi left the emergency room.

Perhaps being a doctor, she smelled the scent of disinfectant in the air, yet her mood gradually calmed down peacefully.

The emergency ward of the Fifth Hospital was also quite busy.

Throughout the night, ambulances intermittently delivered patients.

She watched a few men in black jackets in the hallway.

It was the rescue team that had saved her and Fu Tingzhou from the jungle, she walked over, “Captain Xu, you’re here too.”

“There’re too many unknown small bugs deep in the jungle, I got bitten a few times and it hurts and itches severely,” a young team member spoke and smiled.

“Yeah, the bushes inside were as tall as people, the leaves sharp as blades, accidentally got a few cuts,” another member added.

Their situation was not serious, so they waited outside, not wanting to trouble the doctors during busy times and planning to go in after the more urgent patients had been seen.

The man called captain, around his early thirties, with close-cropped hair and wearing a black jacket had a tough demeanor, and sharp, hawk-like eyes, he looked at Tang Xi, “Isn’t Miss Tang going to see Mr.

Fu?”
