C175 Chapter 175
In the ward, Xia Mei was still lying with her eyes closed. It was obvious that the effects of the anesthetic were not over yet.
Jun Ziyan was lying on the sofa, sound asleep. Xia Huanhuan walked step by step towards the sofa. She finally understood why he had such a strange reaction when he saw Bai Zhuyun, why he had said that nothing would happen to her, and why he had stayed awake all night, staring at her.
When she was not used to his following her, in his heart, what kind of fear and worry did he bear?!
Xia Huanhuan stopped beside the sofa and looked at Jun Ziyan, who was still sleeping soundly. Even when he was asleep, his brow was slightly furrowed. Was he afraid that she would be in danger again? As she thought this, she raised her hand and gently caressed his brow.
After thinking about it for a while, his eyebrows relaxed.
He really wanted to stop worrying about her.
This man, no matter how much he forced her to love him and not let her leave his side back then, she had never told him about the sacrifices he'd made and the humiliation he'd suffered for her. Just so that she wouldn't feel guilty, so that she wouldn't have to bear the heavy weight of revenge on her back.
How could she not love him like this?
Xia Huanhuan's hand gradually moved down, caressing his closed eyes, straight nose, and beautiful thin lips. Finally, it lightly covered the back of his hand.
Her palm tightly held onto the back of his hand, as if she wanted to feel his temperature. As for her eyes, they were deeply fixated on him, as if she wanted to look at this man who had sacrificed so much for her.
Time passed silently, yet she did not notice it at all.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, those thick black eyelashes lightly trembled, and those eyes slowly opened as their eyelashes trembled. In her dark pupils was imprinted her face. Jun Ziyan took a deep breath and a smile of satisfaction appeared on his indifferent face.
"That's great! Huanhuan, you're here …" His voice was hoarse from just waking up.
"Yes, I'm here." Xia Huanhuan said softly. From now on, she would always be by his side.
He stared at her for a moment, then suddenly raised his right hand and touched the bottom of her eyes with his fingers.
At this moment, her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
"Yes, I have." She nodded.
"Are you worried about Mom's illness? "Don't worry, since Aunt said that she's fine, she'll definitely be fine." he said soothingly, misunderstood why she was crying.
Xia Huanhuan pressed Jun Ziyan's hand against her cheek and gently rubbed it. His fingers were long, and his palm could almost cover her entire face.
His hand was the one that had protected her. Those incomparably beautiful photos were all proof that he had protected her.
"Ziyan, I love you so much." Xia Huanhuan said with a sour nose. Her voice was so sure and so clear.
This was the person she would love the most in her life!
Lu Xiaorong looked at the scene in front of her in a daze, not bothering her in the slightest. It was as if at this moment, the world belonged to Xia Huanhuan and Jun Ziyan. What existed between them was only each other. Anyone could see the feelings they had for each other.
Lu Xiaorong sighed in her heart. Xia Huanhuan being able to meet Jun Ziyan, who loved her so much, was a type of priceless happiness. What about her? What would happen to her and Jun Zichen in the future? However, he couldn't think of an answer.
A man with Jun Family, whether it was deep affection or cold affection, perhaps only those who truly loved him would know.
Lu Xiaorong smiled and quietly left the ward, closing the door behind her.
On the other side, Jun Haixin leaned weakly on a chair. The conversation she had with Xia Huanhuan just now reminded her of Ziyan, who was on the verge of death.
After Ziyan was born, she had a special feeling of pity for her autistic nephew. Ever since the incident ten years ago, this feeling of pity became even more intense.
If it wasn't for her, Bai Zhuyun wouldn't use Xia Huanhuan to force Ziyan to take medicine. In the end, Bai Zhuyun only wanted to get her.
The two times that she had met with Jun Family was also because of her. But even so, she still did not compromise and stay with Bai Zhuyun. It was only because she had Jun's's pride and unwillingness. The one who was unreconciled to stay with her was not her Predestine.
After all, what was the difference between her and Bai Zhuyun? He was selfish to the point of wanting her, and she was selfish to the point of wanting to find her own Predestine.
If he could find the Predestine, then he would understand what extreme pleasure was.
She had originally thought that the Predestine was an unreal and ethereal place. Even though there were some Jun's s that could find the Predestine in the Jun Family's genealogy records, compared to those that could not find the Predestine, there were far too few of them.
But now, Zichen had found his Predestine, what about her? Would she find it? Or did he live until he was 45, or even shorter, and then meet his death?
It wasn't that there hadn't been a chance for two generations of Jun Family to find the Predestine at the same time, but that the probability of that happening was even slimmer …
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Jun Haixin's mouth as she muttered softly, "Bai Zhuyun, did we meet because of your misfortune or mine …"
What responded to her was only the quiet air.

After Xia's mother woke up, she didn't have any postoperative adverse reactions. Xia Huanhuan accompanied her mother in the hospital until the evening before leaving together with Jun Ziyan.
In the hospital, there were nurses taking care of her mother at night, but Xia Huanhuan was relieved. The current her had a lot of things she wanted to tell Ziyan, wanted to tell him how much she loved him, wanted to tell him how much she regretted not loving him earlier, wanted to heal all of his injuries, and wanted to truly untie the knot in his heart!
In the car, Jun Ziyan was driving while Xia Huanhuan sat in the front seat, staring at his side.
The car stopped in front of a red light. Jun Ziyan turned around, "Why are you looking at me like that?" In the hospital, he had noticed that she was looking at him more than usual. Moreover, the way she looked at him was also a bit different than usual, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Don't you like me looking at you?" Xia Huanhuan asked.
He shook his head. "No, you know, I like it when you look at me and keep looking at me." Ever since he was young, he had wanted her gaze to only be focused on him. She only liked him! She even cried, quarreled, and caused trouble because her eyes did not want to linger on him much.
She smiled and said, "Alright then. From now on, I will always look at you."
He stared at the faint smile on her lips until the red light in front of him turned green.
"Ziyan, if only I hadn't set a Promise of Ten Years at that time." Xia Huanhuan muttered softly, "If that's the case, then we'll be together for another ten years."
Only now did she know how much of a waste it was to lose ten years of her life. When he was in such pain, she wasn't by his side. She enjoyed her freedom, but she did not know that he was the one who protected her with his life!
Her words caused his body to abruptly tremble, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard.
Jun Ziyan started the car again and stared straight ahead. He seemed to be focusing on driving, but also seemed to be thinking about something. After a long while, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "But, I am glad that we have set a ten-year agreement. Otherwise, you might never have fallen in love with me."
Xia Huanhuan was stunned. Was it because he didn't want her to see his most helpless side at that time? Didn't want her to know that he had vomited until he looked skinny? Or was he afraid of her … Without that agreement, would she always reject him and resist him?
The car drove all the way to the apartment's parking lot, and Xia Huanhuan and Jun Ziyan got off. Jun Ziyan walked into the elevator as he habitually interlocked his fingers with Xia Huanhuan's.
Xia Huanhuan felt the warmth of her hands until the elevator reached the floor, the elevator door opened, and he led her into the apartment.
He let go of her hand. "I'll get you some hot water for your bath. You take a shower first."
The temperature of her palm suddenly disappeared, and Xia Huanhuan suddenly felt empty and empty. She spent most of her time with him, letting go of his hand first.
Did he feel the same way the moment she let go?
"Ziyan, can't you get used to hugging?" Xia Huanhuan's voice echoed in the room.
Even if he tried his best to go to the customer service department, the moment he was hugged, his body would have a vomiting reaction. Although he knew that it had nothing to do with his body and was more of a nervous reaction, he had no way to control it. Not pushing her away was already his greatest limit.
Jun Ziyan walked into the bathroom and turned on the tap. Warm water flowed into the bathtub.
Xia Huanhuan followed behind Jun Ziyan into the bathroom. Looking at his tall back, she asked, "Can you try again?"
His body stiffened slightly, and he understood what she was referring to. He turned to face her, his eyes fixed on her. "Okay."
Only then did she raise her feet, walk up to him, throw her arms around his waist, and hold him firmly. As for him, just like the previous times, his entire body suddenly stiffened. His face paled and the hands hanging by his side clenched into fists. Veins bulged on the back of his hands, his forehead, and his neck. He was obviously using all the strength in his body to restrain his instinctive impulse.
