Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 219 The Hero in My Dream

Xia An arrived at the Beijing-Harbin Expressway an hour and a half earlier than the ambulance from Tiantan Hospital and then transferred to the Panhaiying Expressway.

This road is mostly a 100 km/h speed limit section. He was speeding three times faster on his way here, but drove slowly on the way back and still arrived at the central hospital more than two hours earlier than Lin Jiajia.

Zhang Tiancheng and his girlfriend waited at the hospital entrance.

This was Xia An's first time meeting the legendary online dating girl who had chosen a city for love. She was quite pretty, with delicate features.

Zhang Tiancheng felt uneasy when he saw his boss sizing up his girlfriend, but he was relieved when he saw that Xia Semo only glanced at her, nodded, and didn't show any indescribable look in her eyes.

Fortunately, the boss is worldly-wise; everyone around him is incredibly beautiful, so he obviously doesn't fancy his girlfriend. Thank goodness!
Hellcat tossed the key to Zhang Tiancheng, telling him to figure out how to deal with the traffic violation later, and then asked him if the hotel arrangements were complete.

Zhang Tiancheng said, "Everything is ready. There are plenty of rooms available for the New Year."

Grandma Lin will need to stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation before she can return to the mountain, but Old Luo needs to go to the courtyard in advance to prepare the medicinal herbs.

Logistics are suspended during the Spring Festival, but medicinal herb merchants can deliver their own goods instead of using logistics, and the herbs will arrive as early as the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Xia An arranged a hotel for Luo Lao so that he could rest for two days.

After leaving the hotel, Xia An returned to the hospital, waiting for Lin Jiajia while chatting with Tang Wan and the others upstairs.

Zhou Zhou's condition had long been stable, but Tang Wan and Su Yi wanted her to stay in the hospital a little longer in order to control her diet and worried that she would overeat if she went back to the villa. The hospital meals were relatively healthy and simple.

Tangshi Group will go public on the tenth day of the lunar new year. Tang Wan will have to rush to Shenzhen on the eighth day. Su Yi will also postpone her original plan to return to Suzhou on the fifth day and decide to stay and accompany Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou plans to be discharged from the hospital after the fifteenth, and then accompany Su Yi home.

Upon hearing this, Xia An pointed at Zhou Zhou and said, "You've done something incredibly virtuous. Have you ever seen a bodyguard with such good treatment abroad?"

The security team that will replace her and Tang Wan in Shenzhen is Zhou Zhou's former colleague, who will be going on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year the day after tomorrow. Although Xia An has not met them yet, she has already accepted it in her heart after hearing Zhou Zhou, who is so honest, praise the other party.

Tang Wan called Xia An out of Zhou Zhou's ward. In the corridor, she asked about Lin Jiajia's condition, her expression unfriendly as she spoke.

She was really upset.

First, Xia An actually... never mind, just thinking about it makes me angry.

Secondly, she and Lin Jiajia are friends, so it would be perfectly normal for her to make a phone call to check in, offer her condolences, or even lend a hand.

But now, how do we say it? How do we meet?
Knowing that Grandma Lin was terminally ill and beyond medical help, Tang Wan sighed for a while, all her thoughts turning into a sigh. Finally, she glared at Xia An and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xia An didn't understand at first, "What? Is there anything else?"

Tang Wan gritted her teeth and said, "Who else?"

Xia An understood and swore to the heavens, "It's really gone."

Tang Wan was exhausted. She turned to go inside and refused to let Xia An follow her.

She pushed him away, saying, "Go take care of someone else."

Turning around, seeing Xia An's sullen expression, he helplessly added, "I'll go see her before the eighth day of the month."

Xia An laughed, pulled her back, and kissed her hard.

"Let's give each other a secret signal."

Tang Wan wiped her lips angrily and said irritably, "What password?"

Xia An said, "It's a code that only the two of us know."

Tang Wan rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"I'm too lazy to care about you."

After saying that, he went into the house.

Watching her retreating figure, Xia An stood in the corridor grinning foolishly for a long time.

……

At 11 p.m., Su Yi and Tang Wan returned to the villa.

Lin Jiajia arrived at 12:30 a.m.

Another advantage of coming back here is that we can arrange a private ward with special care.

Grandma Lin was asleep when she was wheeled inside. Xia An had Zhang Tian arrange the best hotel for the medical staff who were escorting her throughout the process, while she herself slept in the ward with Lin Jiajia.

Lin Jiajia was exhausted. As soon as she entered the private hospital room, she collapsed onto the sofa.

Xia An sat down next to her, helped her take off her shoes, and covered her with a blanket.

Lin Jiajia said, "Go home. Come back tomorrow if you want."

Xia An shook her head and smiled, "I'm not tired."

Lin Jiajia propped herself up and sat up again, changing her position to rest her head on his lap.

"How could I not be tired? You've slept less than me these past few days, and you even drove back and forth twice. You little rascal, thank you. Without you, I really don't know if I could have made it."

As she spoke, she looked intently into Xia An's eyes.

She didn't know when it started, but Xia An in her eyes was no longer a little boy, but a big man who could shelter her from the wind and rain and support her to move forward together.

A smart and capable man.

During summer vacation?

Was it when you first hugged her in Taoyuan?
Lin Jiajia couldn't remember clearly. The struggle of the past month had made her mind as muddled as mush, but at this moment, Xia An in front of her was very clear.

"Thanking me is fine, but not like this."

Xia An gently brushed a strand of hair from her cheek and placed his hand on her face. Lin Jiajia looked haggard and thinner, but her skin was still very good.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiajia, who blushed for the first time in days, glared at him. She seemed to come alive in an instant and changed. The once fiery and energetic aunt had become gentle and sentimental.

Xia An laughed and said, "You misunderstood. I meant, don't go back on your word later."

Lin Jiajia held the large hand covering her face, smiling and shaking her head.

"I won't lie to Grandma."

Xia An nodded, looking at her tenderly.

"Go to sleep."

"I can't sleep, can you give me a kiss?"

Xia An was taken aback. No, they just started dating, why are they being so impulsive?
Lin Jiajia grabbed his collar and closed her eyes when their lips touched.

This was the first time the two had a proper kiss, and it happened in a hospital room, which was quite special.

Xia An didn't have too many romantic thoughts. What Lin Jiajia needed now, besides reliance, was only warmth. Too intense and passionate love was inappropriate.

After smiling gently, Lin Jiajia hugged his waist and fell into a deep sleep.

After falling asleep, her brows furrowed frequently, her eyelashes trembled, and soon two lines of clear tears flowed down her cheeks.

She was having a nightmare. Xia An stroked her face affectionately, imagining her dream in his mind.

In the dark forest, a lost little girl ran around helplessly, surrounded by the strange cries of crows, and pairs of deep, eerie eyes staring at her with a cold light.

Leaning against the sofa, Xia An also fell asleep.

He went into Lin Jiajia's dream, transforming into a ray of light descending from the sky, carrying two swords on his back, protecting her as she overcame thorns and brambles, forging a path home.

After a long while, Grandma Lin woke up, struggled to sit up, and looked at the young couple on the sofa. Especially after seeing the faint smile on her granddaughter's face, she lay back down with a sense of relief.

……

The third day of the Lunar New Year.

After Lin Jiajia woke up, Xia An was gone again.

As she was helping her grandmother wipe her face with a hot towel, Xia An returned, carrying a thermal lunchbox and a bunch of health supplements, fruit baskets, and the like.

Following behind were Wei Xiaofang and Xia Kangning.

Lin Jiajia's heart skipped a beat, and she was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say or what to address.
