The gentle hands immediately gripped his tightly, and Yan Xixi was overjoyed, "Brother Donglin, have you woken up? That’s wonderful..."
"I’ve been sleeping too much these last few days..."
"Brother Donglin, you weren’t just sleeping a lot, you were unconscious... Are you feeling better now?"
He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, "The dizziness is almost gone, hmm, much better."
Yan Xixi was elated, "That Doctor Fang is truly skilled. A well-known doctor is indeed exceptional. Brother Donglin, when you’re discharged, you must thank him properly."
They had narrowly escaped death, so their feelings were understandably intense.
For a long while, they sat quietly leaning against each other, even without saying a word, they were already very happy.
After a while, he softly asked, "Why haven’t you left yet?"
Yan Xixi didn’t want to worry him, so she didn’t mention the plane incident, speaking in a light and gentle tone, "Brother Donglin... I just want to spend more time with you... But don’t worry, the Empress Dowager said she’ll send a plane for me first thing in the morning..."
Wan Donglin, being who he is, immediately understood something upon hearing this. If it wasn’t something major, why would his mother dispatch the Wan Family’s private plane so easily?
Suddenly, he sat up a bit, "Xixi..."
"Brother Donglin, you just started feeling a little better, don’t tire yourself out... Oh, let’s eat something first..."
She personally helped him eat, then assisted him in washing up, changed him into a fresh soft set of clothes, and finally sat beside him gently massaging his legs, "Does that feel good?"
If not for being in a hospital room, this warmth and happiness born from soft jade and tender fragrance and a smile as radiant as flowers, would be something else entirely.
He gazed at her intently, "Xixi, I almost thought I’d never see you again..."
Yan Xixi, still shaken, yet smiling brightly, "I knew Brother Donglin would be blessed and safe... See, aren’t we both perfectly fine?"
Just then, Wan Donglin’s gaze fell on the television. Although the volume was very low, he saw the breaking news about the emergency landing of an international flight.
He immediately understood everything.
Yan Xixi could no longer hide it from him, so she had to briefly explain everything that happened at the airport today.
He listened very carefully, and the shock in his heart was palpable.
Was all this truly just luck? Is that possible?
Then, the news shifted to the next segment, showing a woman who was kidnapped by robbers while traveling abroad. Her whereabouts were unknown, but many people commented that she deserved it, questioning why she would travel to such places?? Isn’t that asking for trouble? Why not just stay at home? Look, inevitably she’d face such a dire fate, and upon returning home, she’d have no face to show...
Another channel aired a shocking piece of news: a group of female writers were arrested by the police.
Comments were unanimous: these women are so ugly, so disheveled, serves them right to get arrested.
...
Amidst tragedy, there was a swell of gloating rather than empathy, shame, or a sense of right and wrong.
In the face of evil, silence becomes tacit approval, and indirect criticism of victims becomes aiding and abetting, striking someone when they’re down.
