The two of them, bickering and arguing, went downstairs to the operating room, where they ran into Shen Lan, who was carrying two large turtles.
"Are you going to see Xiaowen? Luo Yi, you go and look after her first. Xiao Hao, come and eat when you see her. I made turtle soup for you and Weilong to help you recover."
Roy: ? ? ?
"What about me? I had a really tough day too!"
Roy said indignantly.
"You were supposed to get a share, but you know what you did upstairs just now. You should be grateful that we're leaving you some leftovers. You can come over and eat whenever Xiaowen wakes up."
Roy: ╥﹏╥...I've been found out.
The scene then shifts to Zhang Hao, who is skipping and hopping, leading Roy, whose face seems to say "Don't worry about me if I die," to the operating room.
Mai Xiaowen is currently having a nightmare that is driving her to the brink of collapse. In the dream, she sees Xiao Haohao being taken away by Reis from a third-person perspective. He struggles and cries desperately, but to no avail. He is then sold to the Hafk Group by Reis, and Xiao Haohao is once again locked in a human laboratory. The scientists there torture him like a nightmare, and Xiao Haohao's cries keep echoing in her head. She feels like her heart is about to break.
In reality, Luo Yi and Zhang Hao were watching the alarm on the instrument in front of them, which showed that Mai Xiaowen's brain was very active and her heart rate was rising rapidly.
"Roy, what's going on? Didn't you say Xiaowen was fine?"
Zhang Hao glared fiercely at Roy.
"What do you mean, you brat? Are you doubting my skills? I'm a military doctor, don't you know? Don't you know the value of a military doctor?"
Roy was also a little helpless. Nothing had happened when he first came in, so how did this happen so soon after he entered?
"Judging from this, it's probably a nightmare, but I don't know what kind of nightmare is so scary. Her heart rate is skyrocketing. Should we use medication to wake her up beforehand?"
Roy watched this scene with a dilemma. The risk of waking her up with medication was too great, and Mai Xiaowen's body was already very weak. He didn't know how much long-term effects the medication would have on her.
Zhang Hao looked at Mai Xiaowen lying on the hospital bed with a pained expression. He reached out and held her cold hand, trying to smooth out her furrowed brow with one hand.
Just as his hand was about to touch Mai Xiaowen's brow, Mai Xiaowen suddenly opened her eyes.
Chapter 44 Mai Xiaowen's Happiness
"Xiaowen! You're awake!"
Seeing that Mai Xiaowen had opened her eyes and looked at them, Zhang Hao and Luo Yi, who was about to adjust the medicine, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao...Hao Hao? You weren't arrested?"
Mai Xiaowen wanted to stand up and hug Zhang Hao so she could cry her heart out. The events in her dream had only filled her with endless sorrow, but now she couldn't even turn her head and could only weakly call out to the little boy in front of her.
"Yes, I'm still here, I'm still here, Sister Xiaowen. Don't be afraid, you, me, and Brother Weilong are all back safely."
Zhang Hao held Mai Xiaowen's hand tightly and gently comforted her.
After listening to Zhang Hao's words, Mai Xiaowen felt the warmth of his hands on hers, and her heartbeat gradually calmed down. After calming down a bit, the thirst she had felt earlier returned.
"Water... Xiao Hao Hao, can you get some water for your sister? She's so thirsty."
Mai Xiaowen looked at Zhang Hao and gestured for him to pour her a glass of water. Although Luo Yi had told her before that she shouldn't drink water after a major hemorrhage, she was really thirsty now.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're not paying attention in class, are you? You even asked Xiao Hao to get you some water. Xiao Hao, just put some water on her lips, I'll give her an IV drip."
"Don't worry, don't worry. Although she looks weak, she has already passed the critical period. Look at how dead Weilong looked last time, it really scared me."
Roy patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder and explained, "After all, at that time, half of Wei Long's body was almost down."
"And have you forgotten what I told you in class? A person who has suffered heavy bleeding cannot drink water directly. The doctor will then prepare fluids for her. If she drinks water, even I, the living miracle doctor, can't help her."
Zhang Hao also remembered that Luo Yi had told him about this situation in class before, but seeing Mai Xiaowen's uncomfortable appearance, Zhang Hao felt sorry for her and could only pat Mai Xiaowen's head.
"Xiaowen, hang in there! After Luo Yi finishes giving you the IV fluids, you shouldn't feel so bad anymore. I'll stay by your side. If you feel better tomorrow, I'll make you some soup myself, okay?"
Mai Xiaowen, suppressing her thirst, softly hummed in response. Although she couldn't move, the feeling of being cared for by Xiao Hao was still very pleasant.
Mai Xiaowen: Wow! I absolutely adore Hao Hao's comforting words! Let's get married! Let's get married right now!
After waiting for Roy to perform a series of actions that Zhang Hao couldn't understand, Mai Xiaowen felt a little better. All she wanted now was to get better quickly, hug her beloved Xiao Hao, run to her room, and have a good night's sleep, forgetting everything that happened in her dream.
After experiencing this incident, Mai Xiaowen realized her own weakness. This was just because she almost wiped out Reis. What if she really had to fight the Hafk Group later, or if that dream became a reality?
Mai Xiaowen started daydreaming again, feeling dizzy and confused. She decided to start researching new weapons. Simply gathering information on the battlefield was no longer enough. Luna's electric arrows were more powerful than her data throwing knives, so Mai Xiaowen decided to develop a melee weapon with considerable destructive power.
"Xiaohao, is Xiaowen awake? Shenlan wants you to have dinner."
At this moment, Wei Long, holding his stomach, slowly walked in. Seeing that Mai Xiaowen, who was lying on the bed, had also woken up, he quickly went over and said:
"Xiaowen, you're awake? How are you feeling? Does Roy have any more medicine? I'll go to the China Military Region to apply for some."
Roy waved his hand.
"Look at these two idiots. Tomorrow, have Zhang Hao prepare a special meal for her, and give that dish a meaningful name. This thing will be soaring to the heavens faster than you are, and I'm telling you, you're still worrying about this while clutching your stomach."
Roy rolled his eyes at Wei Long and impatiently began to see the guest out.
"Go, go, go. You and Weilong, get out of here. Damn it, finish your meal and come over here to take over your shift. Oh, and remember to save me some turtle, okay? I need to replenish my energy."
After patting Mai Xiaowen's head, Zhang Hao followed Weilong to the dining table for dinner. He decided to bring Shenlan to visit Mai Xiaowen later, as he was very concerned about her condition.
Throughout the GTI, Deep Blue played the role of a loving father. He would promptly notice and guide people when they had psychological problems, and he also took on the tasks of cooking and cleaning all by himself.
Uluru often jokes that Deep Blue is an old Soviet political commissar. He's like this in the Special Operations Department, but when he's on the battlefield, he'll probably be like in the old videos, grabbing that big shield and charging forward. But every time, Deep Blue just smiles and says that he's getting old and now all he wants to do is "protect".
The two arrived at the dining table, and everyone was seated. Zhang Hao ran over to Shen Lan and tugged at his sleeve.
"Uncle Shenlan, Xiaowen just woke up. Let's go see her later. We can leave the dishes and such to Roy later."
Roy: Achoo, huh? I have a bad feeling. I feel like something's watching me.
When Shen Lan heard that Mai Xiaowen had woken up, she nodded. Before Zhang Hao came to the Special Operations Department, Mai Xiaowen was the youngest among them, and Shen Lan and the others had given her a lot of care. Shen Lan had also been very concerned about Mai Xiaowen's injuries.
"Wow, is today's food this tough? Hahaha, looks like I need to go get a glass of [Barrel Uluru] to celebrate."
Uluru stared at the large bowl of turtles placed in front of Zhang Hao and Weilong, his mouth watering uncontrollably. Just as he was about to reach for his wine in the refrigerator, Shenlan and Honglang both spoke up to stop him:
"Alright, this isn't for you. This is specially for Xiaohao and Weilong to nourish their bodies. Isn't there a bowl of green vegetables in front of you? Hurry up and eat your meal."
Uluru looked at the pot of vegetables in front of him in disbelief. "You two, Red Wolf and Deep Blue, you weren't like this when you asked me for wine before. Now that you don't need me anymore, you just throw me away. Pah! I won't give you any more wine next time."
"It's alright, Uncle Shenlan, let's all eat together. I'm too small to finish a whole turtle. Just leave two pieces of meat for Roy at the end."
Zhang Hao quickly invited everyone to try the turtle. He wouldn't eat alone. After all, back in the day, he thought no one would buy a chicken to eat in the dorm, but those three bastards came back after he'd only taken two bites. The scene was awkward for a few seconds, then it turned into chaos.
"Waaaaah, Xiao Hao, you're so sweet! If I were a girl, I'd fall in love with you!"
After Uluru finished speaking, he couldn't wait to launch an attack on the turtle with his chopsticks. Amidst the noise and commotion, everyone finished their dinner.
Wei Long: I'm not talking, I'm just eating. Only a complete idiot would talk and eat at the same time. (* ̄3 ̄)╭
After dinner, Shen Lan followed Zhang Hao to the medical room to relieve Roy. Roy, who was about to lash out, saw Shen Lan following behind Zhang Hao and swallowed his words, silently moving to the door to go eat.
"Roy, remember to wash the dishes after you finish eating!"
At that moment, Zhang Hao's voice came from behind Roy, and Roy couldn't hold back any longer when he heard this.
"You little brat, just you wait. You better not fall into my hands, or else..."
Just as Roy was frantically attacking Zhang Hao, Deep Blue turned around and stared intently at Roy with his blue eyes. Instantly, Roy, whose mouth was like a Gatling gun, shut up.
"Hey, just kidding, I'm going to wash the dishes now!"
The two sat down next to Mai Xiaowen, gently comforting her and telling her what had happened after she lost consciousness.
Around 9 o'clock, Shen Lan suggested leaving first. He wanted to see if they had received any substantial compensation from above. If not, well, then they could see if they could withstand the pressure from China.
"Little Hao Hao, I'm a little sleepy. Can you hold my hand and stay with me until I fall asleep?"
Mai Xiaowen's eyelids began to feel heavy, and she grasped Zhang Hao's hand, pleading.
"Don't worry, Xiaowen, I'm always here for you."
"Really? Then can you give your sister a kiss? That way, your sister can get a good night's sleep tonight."
After hearing Mai Xiaowen's words, Zhang Hao could only think to himself that Sister Xiaowen had watched too many web dramas; how could a kiss possibly lead to such a wonderful dream?
But since it was Xiaowen's request, he naturally couldn't let her down. Under Mai Xiaowen's expectant gaze, Zhang Hao gently leaned down and lightly touched Mai Xiaowen's face.
Mai Xiaowen: Hmph, Luna, what do you have to compare with me? You're just a little one, hahahahaha.
(●ˇ?ˇ●)
Goodnight! ×2
(I've seen quite a few people in the comments saying that the second personality of [Zero] has some problematic aspects. I'll try to figure out how to write it in a way that satisfies more people. If you have any ideas, please share them. I'll read the comments. Thank you.)
Chapter 45 Mai Xiaowen, on the verge of social death
Zhang Hao held Mai Xiaowen's hand the whole time. Mai Xiaowen was probably tired, because soon her breathing became steady.
Seeing that Mai Xiaowen was asleep, Zhang Hao didn't want to stay any longer for fear of disturbing her. But just as he was about to get up and leave, he suddenly realized that he couldn't pull his hand away; Mai Xiaowen was holding it tightly.
"Xiaowen? Are you asleep? If you are, please let go of my hand, okay?"
Zhang Hao whispered in Mai Xiaowen's ear, but Mai Xiaowen seemed to be really asleep, still in the same position, her hand still firmly holding Zhang Hao's hand.
Zhang Hao was also at a loss. What should he do? Should he force it out all at once? No, no, it wouldn't be good if he woke up Sister Xiaowen. How about I try to pull it out little by little?
So Zhang Hao kept their hands in the same position and tried his best to pull them out little by little. Tick-tock, as time passed, Zhang Hao looked at the still tightly clenched hands and gave up struggling.
"Oh dear, maybe Xiaowen is just insecure. Well, as a man, I'll stay here with her tonight. It's not like it's the first time I've stayed up all night."
Thinking back to what happened that night at Dam Zero, Zhang Hao still felt somewhat helpless and fearful. Although lying between two beautiful women, smelling sweet, was indeed very enjoyable, the fact that he couldn't move or sleep all night had really tormented him.
. . . . . . . .
Mai Xiaowen was indeed not lying to Zhang Hao. After Zhang Hao kissed her cheek before going to sleep, she unsurprisingly had a wonderful dream that night.
"Xiaowen, would you marry me?"
In a high-rise building in Guangdong, China, Zhang Hao, who is 1.8 meters tall, is wearing a well-fitting black suit and holding 11 white roses in his hands. In the center of the roses is a very delicate gold ring.
"Oh, oh, oh! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!"
The GTI fans around her started cheering, and Roy, not wanting to miss out on the fun, pushed her forward, so she was next to the incredibly handsome Zhang Hao.
Mai Xiaowen was also wearing a pure white wedding dress with light makeup on her face. She had taken off the mask she wore every day during the Asara period. She looked at the big Zhang Hao in front of her, and her eyes were so wide that she didn't know how to describe it.
"I...I do!"
Mai Xiaowen happily embraced the man before her, and the two gazed at each other before kissing amidst the cheers of the crowd.
