Lu Fenglin, still lying on the ground, watched the affectionate couple with a darkened look in his eyes. Unable to help himself, he spoke up to remind them.
"Hey, isn't there anyone going to take care of me? I'm still lying here on the ground."
Lu Chuanbai gently wiped away the tears from Xu Qingqing's eyes. The tenderness in his eyes could drown a person. He took Xu Qingqing's hand and said, "Let's go."
After saying that, the two of them didn't even look at Lu Fenglin lying on the ground and walked down the mountain.
Lu Fenglin's face turned ashen and then green.
These two heartless people had really abandoned him and left!
The rescue team members carried Lu Fenglin onto a stretcher and carried him down the mountain.
His stepmother, worried about her son, drove to Weishan Island. She was stopped by the security guard at the entrance. "Hello, may I ask what you're here for?"
"I'm here to find my son. My son is inside Weishan Island!" The stepmother got out of the car in a hurry and was about to rush inside.
The security guard stopped her again and said impatiently, "No matter who your son is, non - staff are not allowed to enter. Let your son come out to find you!"
To prevent people with ill intentions from coming in to damage the cultural relics in the Huaxia Mound, Lu Chuanbai had set strict regulations at the entrance.
As long as they were not staff inside and had no reservation, they were not allowed to enter.
The stepmother stamped her foot in anger. The heel of her slender high - heeled shoe was almost broken.
She picked up her bag and threw it at the security guard. "Do you know who I am? I'm the mother of your boss, Lu Chuanbai. Let me in quickly!"
"Do you have a reservation?" the security guard continued to ask.
"Have you ever seen a mother who needs a reservation to see her son? Let me in quickly!" The stepmother was furious.
Why couldn't this security guard read the situation at all!
If he were her employee, she would definitely fire him!
Seeing that she was neither a staff member nor had a reservation, and was so arrogant, the security guard's face turned cold. "Sorry, no reservation, no entry."
"You!" The stepmother was so angry that she couldn't speak.
It must be Lu Chuanbai who was bullying her son and deliberately had people stop her.
Just then, Lu Chuanbai and Xu Qingqing walked out of Weishan Island hand in hand.
Along the way, although they didn't talk much, their hearts, which had been far apart, were slowly getting closer. All the previous misunderstandings were instantly resolved.
The stepmother saw Lu Chuanbai and Xu Qingqing and waved desperately at them. "Lu Chuanbai! Xu Qingqing! Come here. Where did you take my son?"
Xu Qingqing and Lu Chuanbai both looked at the stepmother in confusion.
"You can't even take good care of your own son. Why are you coming to me?" Lu Chuanbai's face returned to its cold look.
Even though his face was still smeared with dirt, the sense of aloofness on him could not be ignored.
"Your younger brother has been away from home for a day and a night. He didn't have a single cent on him. Someone saw him enter Weishan Island. Do you know where he is?"
In order to find out the whereabouts of her son as soon as possible, the stepmother forced herself to hold back her anger and softened her voice.
Lu Chuanbai raised his eyebrows and kindly pointed in a direction. "Over there."
After saying that, Lu Chuanbai pulled Xu Qingqing away. Xu Qingqing had a wound on her back and needed to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
The stepmother looked in the direction Lu Chuanbai had pointed and saw Lu Fenglin, covered in dirt and blood, lying on a stretcher and being carried down the mountain.
"Lu Fenglin!" The stepmother let out a shrill scream and ran over crazily.
The security guard chased after her. "Come out. No reservation, no entry!"
"Don't worry about her." Lu Chuanbai turned back and signaled the security guard not to chase.
The stepmother threw herself on her son and burst into tears. "How did you get yourself into such a mess!"
Lu Fenglin was almost out of breath when his stepmother threw herself on him. "Cough, cough, cough... Mom, let go of me!"
Hearing her son's violent coughing, the stepmother quickly let go of him and wiped her tears. "Did Lu Chuanbai beat you up like this? I'm going to find him now!"
"Mom, come back. Stop making a fool of yourself!" Lu Fenglin called his mother back in exasperation. "I fell by myself."
"Nonsense. How could you fall and end up like this!" The stepmother didn't believe it and was convinced that Lu Chuanbai was a bad guy.
"I must tell your father about this!"
Lu Fenglin's spirit was hit for the second time, but he calmed down instead. He explained to his stepmother calmly.
"Mom, I encountered a mudslide on the mountain and fell like this. It has nothing to do with Lu Chuanbai."
"Don't go and talk nonsense to my father."
"Is it nonsense for mom to protect you? I'm doing it for your own good!"
The stepmother felt that her son was not listening to her.
"For example, when you went on a blind date with Miss Sun. What a nice girl Miss Sun is, but you stood her up..." The stepmother started to wipe her tears again and rambled on inappropriately.
Lu Fenglin was used to his mother's behavior. He said to the rescue team leader in despair, "Please hurry up. Otherwise, I might die here."
Lu Chuanbai took Xu Qingqing to the hospital for an examination. It was found that there was a large amount of fine sand embedded in the wound on her back, which needed to be cleaned up as soon as possible.
After being given anesthesia, Xu Qingqing lay on the operating table. She could clearly feel the doctor using forceps to pick at the rotten flesh on her back and remove the sand.
After coming out of the operating room, Xu Qingqing was pushed into the ward. In order not to waste time, she asked Lu Chuanbai to bring her computer.
With the murals in the cave, she was full of inspiration for this speech and wanted to prepare the speech as soon as possible.
Lu Chuanbai disagreed. He thought that she had just had surgery and should have a good rest.
"I'm going to give a speech tomorrow. I have to finish the speech today." Xu Qingqing insisted.
This was something she had promised Wang Lide and she must do it.
"You're not still thinking of going to the speech, are you? Your back injury is so serious. You're not allowed to go."
Lu Chuanbai looked at Xu Qingqing unhappily and pressed on the exposed small of her back.
Xu Qingqing could only feel someone pressing on her but had no other sensations.
Lu Chuanbai took out a wet tissue and carefully wiped Xu Qingqing's face. He pinched her smooth and tender cheeks.
"You don't feel the pain now because of the anesthesia. But there won't be any anesthesia for the wound during the speech tomorrow. Can you bear it?"
Lu Chuanbai didn't want her to abuse her body for the sake of the speech.
"I can hold on." Xu Qingqing's voice unconsciously took on a hint of coquetry.
Her eyes sparkled like they contained countless galaxies.
"I want to go. There will be famous archaeologists from all over the world coming tomorrow. I want to broaden my horizons!"
"Lu Chuanbai, please bring my computer to me."
Xu Qingqing's coquettish voice surrounded Lu Chuanbai. Lu Chuanbai sighed and threw the tissue into the trash can.
He cursed himself for his weak will. He couldn't resist it.
But in order for Xu Qingqing to have a good rest, Lu Chuanbai set a condition. "You tell me what to say, and I'll type it."
Xu Qingqing blinked her eyes and thought this was a good idea. She tried hard to turn her head and gave Lu Chuanbai a big smile. "Okay. I just don't want to type anyway!"
Lu Chuanbai was really going to great lengths to make her rest well!
Lu Chuanbai asked Gao Bo to bring a laptop. For every word Xu Qingqing read, he typed it.
When Xu Qingqing said she wanted to make a modification, he would make it. The two of them cooperated quite well.
It was not until evening that the speech was finally finalized after Xu Qingqing's continuous revisions.
Xu Qingqing then asked Lu Chuanbai to take out her phone and send the photos of the murals she had taken and the speech to Teacher Wang.
As long as Teacher Wang approved, there would be no problem.
