Chapter 149 Is it because of returning to the army?
About a minute later, Duan Yuchen keenly noticed that the girl in his arms was becoming more and more tense, like an overstretched bowstring. He could not help but sigh helplessly: "Get up."
Hearing this, Qiao Jingyu was like being pardoned, and couldn't wait to get up. However, just as she was moving hastily, Duan Yuchen thoughtfully stretched out a hand, carefully protected her head, and whispered: "Be careful, don't hit your head again."
Qiao Jingyu was slightly stunned, her eyes fell directly on Duan Yuchen's handsome face. If he hadn't reminded her in time, I'm afraid her reckless nature would have caused her head to suffer another blow. Thinking of this, she blushed and whispered: "Oh, I see..." She was secretly annoyed in her heart, why did she always seem so clumsy and stupid in front of Duan Yuchen?
Then, Qiao Jingyu slowly stood up from Duan Yuchen's body and sat down quietly on a seat beside her. She looked reserved, sitting upright and dignified, with her slender white hands placed on her knees at a loss, like a child who had lost his way.
At the same time, Duan Yuchen used his hands with distinct and delicate bones to gently massage his temples, trying to relieve the pain in his head. After a moment, he put down his hands, looked at Qiao Jingyu seriously, and said solemnly: "No matter what happens in the future, you must never take risks like this again, understand?"
"Okay, I understand." Qiao Jingyu nodded and said.
"If you promise something, you must do it. If you can't do it, don't promise it easily." Duan Yuchen's low and magnetic voice came slowly in this small and cramped space, as if a respected elder was disciplining a younger generation who had made mistakes.
Qiao Jingyu knew very well that the reason why Duan Yuchen was so unhappy was because she had promised him not to drink again, but she broke her promise today. At this moment, she really wanted to ask Duan Yuchen: "Who are you to me? Why do you have to control me like this?" If she didn't know that he already had someone in his heart, then facing his current behavior, she would definitely mistakenly think that he had special feelings for her.
However, all these thoughts only flashed through Qiao Jingyu's mind. She knew her own strengths and weaknesses, and she would never dare to speak out some words even if they were rotten in her stomach. So, she could only bite the bullet and say, "I promise that this time I will definitely keep my word and do what I say."
Hearing this, Duan Yuchen nodded slightly, as if responding, but did not say anything more. He closed his eyes tightly, and his originally handsome sword-like eyebrows were now tightly furrowed, with an undisguised look of fatigue between his brows. He tilted his head back slightly and leaned on the comfortable seat in the back seat, as if he wanted to relieve his physical and mental sleepiness and fatigue by closing his eyes and resting his mind.
Qiao Jingyu sat silently beside Duan Yuchen, not daring to breathe, for fear of disturbing him. Time passed by minute by minute, and the air around them seemed to freeze. After a long while, Qiao Jingyu could no longer suppress her concern, and asked carefully in an extremely gentle voice: "Mr. Duan, why don't you go to the hospital to have a look?"
Time passed by, and Duan Yuchen remained silent. Qiao Jingyu stared at him nervously, wondering if he had fainted again. Duan Yuchen finally slowly opened his lips and uttered two words in an extremely calm tone: "No need."
Qiao Jingyu thought for a long time and didn't know how to persuade Duan Yuchen to go to the hospital. In desperation, she thought about finding Feng Bo first, and then said, "Then Mr. Duan, I'll go down first." After that, she waited quietly for Duan Yuchen's response.
Surprisingly, Duan Yuchen remained silent this time, as if he was completely immersed in his own world. After a long time, he made a slight nasal sound: "...Hmm..." The sound was so low that it was almost unnoticeable.
Qiao Jingyu gently pushed open the car door, and as soon as her feet touched the ground, her eyes were attracted by a familiar figure - Feng Bo was walking out of the police station with slightly heavy steps.
Before Qiao Jingyu could ask, Feng Bo asked anxiously, "Miss Qiao, how is Mr. Duan doing now?"
Qiao Jingyu frowned tightly, her tone full of worry: "Mr. Duan just fainted! And he had such a high fever, why didn't you send him to the hospital quickly?"
Hearing this, Feng Bo's face showed deep worry and helplessness. He sighed softly and explained, "In fact, we have already asked a doctor to see him and gave him antipyretic medicine. But... Mr. Duan's illness is not an ordinary physical discomfort, but a mental illness. Medication alone will not help."
"Heart disease?" Qiao Jingyu looked at Feng Bo in surprise, her heart full of doubts. She had never heard that Duan Yuchen had such a problem.
Seeing Qiao Jingyu's puzzled expression, Feng Bo nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Miss Qiao, do you know why Mr. Duan became blind?"
"Well, Mr. Duan told me that during a special operation, a bomb exploded and his head was hit by the impact on a rock. There was blood clots in his head, which compressed his optic nerves and caused his blindness."
Feng Bo looked at Qiao Jingyu in surprise, but he soon understood. Since Duan Yuchen was willing to return to the army and face the past for Qiao Jingyu, it was not surprising that he told her about this.
"General Duan joined the army at the age of 18. During this period, he participated in many international anti-terrorism battles and made many contributions." An expression of admiration appeared on Feng Bo's face.
"Do you know why the troops call General Duan "Third Master"?"
Qiao Jingyu shook her head.
"General Duan is the youngest of three brothers, so everyone calls him Third Master. The eldest master died ten years ago. This is where General Duan, the old commander, Second Master and other comrades fought and trained together. It is of great significance to Duan.
In that special operation, the old chief, the second master and several of General Duan's comrades were blown to pieces. General Duan was 24 years old at that time. He experienced an extremely bloody scene that year and lost his loved ones and comrades. This was almost an indelible injury in his life. Even though General Duan was as calm as a mountain, he would be awakened by nightmares every night, and insomnia and headaches were commonplace.
For five years, General Duan has never returned to the army, because returning here means he must face the past again, which is equivalent to opening the bloody scars in his heart again. "
Qiao Jingyu felt a pain in her heart as Feng Bo talked about Duan Yuchen's past. She didn't want to reveal her emotions in front of Feng Bo, so she raised her head slightly, held back her tears, and asked, "Mr. Duan has a headache and fever today. Is it because he returned to the army?"
