Chapter 71 The Nowadays Young People
Gao Ge doesn’t know how long he has slept. After all, when he wakes up, he calls the name of Xia Lu.
Realizing that he is lying in the hospital with Yue Xincheng beside him, he hastens to get off the bed.
“How is Xia Lu?”
“Rest assured, Boss. Xia Lu has passed the critical stage.” Yue Xincheng hurries to say.
Then Gao Ge feels relieved, “I will go and check on her.”
Yue Xincheng helps Gao get up immediately.
“Boss, even if you go there, you can only stand outside. Xia Lu is still in a coma and stays in the ICU now.”
“Take me there first.” Gao Ge says determinedly.
Yue Xincheng cannot stop him but to bring him out of the ward.
Outside the ICU, there is Meng Jing, Meng Fang and Tang Jiusi.
“Gao Ge, you are up?” Meng Jing hastens to get up and supports Gao Ge with her hands.
Actually, Gao Ge is fine. Although he was beaten in the Ning’s house, he has not been heavily injured. Now just because he has over-used his power of stars and he has not recovered, he feels weak.
“I have asked my parents and yours to go back.” Meng Jing says.
Gao Ge nods his head.
“Xia Lu is okay now. We just need to wait for her to wake up.” Meng Jing keeps saying.
Gao Ge takes a deep breath. He cannot see anything inside the room from the outside, so Gao Ge cannot help doubting whether the usual scene on TV is nonsense when a group of people stand outside the ICU to watch the patients inside. He wonders whether the same thing happens to only the hospital he stays in or all the hospitals.
After taking a seat, Gao Ge says hoarsely, “Actually, that shot was aimed at me.”
Meng Jing is shocked. Gao Ge had no time to tell her these things.
“Xia Lu took the bullet for me.” Gao Ge grabs his hair with his hands and feels a bit overwhelmed.
Meng Jing doesn’t know how to comfort Gao Ge.
Maybe no matter what she says, it doesn’t work well.
Meng Fang comes to Gao Ge and says, “Calm down now. Isn’t Xia Lu okay now? After her condition gets stable, we will bring her back to the yard. In that way, she may recover sooner.”
Gao Ge nods his head.
“Yard? What yard? Can it heal wounds?” Tang Jiusi asks curiously.
Meng Fang glances at him and says nothing.
This is Gao Ge’s secret. It is okay that he knows it himself. Without permission of Gao Ge, he will not tell Tang Jiusi for sure.
“Yet, Gao Ge, I want to ask you something.” Tang Jiusi doesn’t keep asking about that. For him, the yard is no big deal. What intrigues him more is the other thing.
Gao Ge raises his head and looks at him, nodding his head to indicate that he can go on asking.
“What is inside your body strength?”
Gao Ge keeps silent.
Tang Jiusi laughs and says, “Since you don’t answer, it won’t be then, but I will not ask anymore. It seems that you also encountered something interesting in Mount Duanlong. What’s inside your body has a good healing effect. Do you know that?”
Gao Ge is a bit surprised and shakes his head.
“Back in the ambulance, Mr. Meng and I kept transferring strength into Xia Lu’s body, but it didn’t work well. To be honest, if it were not for the power inside your body, Xia Lu would have died.”
Hearing that, Gao Ge stands up quickly.
Meng Fang sees through his intention and hastens to drag him back.
“Boy, do you want to continue doing that?”
“Since my power works, I can keep transferring it into her body. Won’t she recover faster?” Gao Ge is confused.
“Then how much of the strength inside your body is recovered?”
“More or less.” Gao Ge takes a deep breath, stands up straight and says.
“Heh, you couldn’t stand well before. Do you think I am blind? I cannot see you clearly?” Meng Fang frowns and says, “If you continue transferring your strength to Xia Lu, I can assure you that the one lying in there will be you.”
“It is fine by me…” Gao Ge says.
“Forget about it. If you really want to continue transferring your strength to Xia Lu, you can do it after you completely recover.” Meng Fang says, “I thought you were relatively calm, but now I am quite disappointed. Even though you feel sorry for Xia Lu, it is not a reason for you to split hairs.”
Gao Ge nods his head and turns around, walking to his own ward.
“I will start to get recovered now.”
Looking at Gao Ge’s back, Meng Fang finally smiles.
“The young chap still doesn’t disappoint me! Though he did split hairs, it didn’t take him long to come to his sense.”
Tang Jiusi says grinningly, “Mr. Meng, who do you think is the one benefiting most on the trip to Mount Duanlong?”
Meng Fang looks at him and feels puzzled.
“I think it is him.” Tang Jiusi says, “Although he only opens one martial meridian, oh no, two martial meridians, but the power inside his body which is not strength seems a bit bizarre. Regardless his fighting capacity, in light of his ability to cure others, he is qualified to enter the Dragon Court!”
Meng Fang is stunned and says out of surprise, “Is that so?”
“Why not? You cannot find another person like him in Huaxia. Apart from that, think about it, Yue Xincheng can make it into Class Tian of the Cultivation Academy; his girlfriend can also enter Class Tian for eating some fruits; and the one lying in there who is willing to take a bullet for him is also enrolled by Class Tian. In this case, isn’t he the big winner?”
Meng Fang gives a smile and understands what Tang Jiusi means.
“It is estimated that when Xia Lu gets a bit recovered, they happen to go into the Cultivation Academy. I want to see by the time he graduates from the Cultivation Academy, what kind of person he will grow into.” Tang Jiusi says while looking at Meng Fang, “Mr. Meng, I have other errands to run and need to leave first. I shall not say goodbye to Gao Ge. Please tell him that I am waiting for him in the Dragon Court.”
“Okay!” Meng Fang nods his head and feels happy for Gao Ge too.
After a while, Meng Fang glances at Meng Jing who is still sitting outside the ICU, asking her, “Why are you still here instead of checking on Gao Ge?”
“Because he wants to be here but he still has other things to do, I will do it for him then.” Meng Jing says.
Meng Fang touches his nose and sits down, “Aren’t you jealous?”
“Jealous?” Meng Jing is confused, “Why am I jealous? Xia Lu did the thing I should have done, but I am not capable enough and cannot help Gao Ge yet. I am really grateful to her. Why do I feel jealous?”
“You said before that you preferred Gao Ge to be the one wounded?”
“Shouldn’t it be like that? I just knew that Xia Lu went there with Gao Ge, but now I am aware that Xia Lu took the bullet for Gao Ge. I know Gao Ge quite well. If Xia Lu really dies for this, he will not feel happy for the rest of his life and wallow in pains and self-accusation forever. He is such a person who always thinks more for others and less for himself. Sometimes, I really hope that my boyfriend could be a bit selfish.”
Meng Jing stops for a second and continues saying, “So, for him, he must hope that he is the one lying in there. As his girlfriend, I just wish the same thing as he does.”
Meng Fang feels puzzled.
Are the nowadays young people so mentally complex?
Back in the time when he was young, everyone was so simple, which he believes is better…
