Then, Li Xiang left the hospital with the cooks. Only Ai Qianxue stayed behind to take care of Tan Tan.
Eight hours later…
On the bed in the ward…Tan Tan opened his eyes.
He looked around and saw Ai Qianxue sleeping soundly on the bench.
Looking at Ai Qianxue's pretty face, which was extremely delicate, her eyes were still red and swollen…There was even a hint of worry between his brows…
Tan Tan's face revealed a smile. He wanted to extend his hand, but he discovered that his hand was bandaged.
"You're awake! What do you think?"
At this time, Ai Qianxue opened her eyes. After she saw Tan Tan waking up, her face immediately revealed an excited expression as she hurriedly asked with concern.
"I want to drink some water…"
Tan Tan laughed.
Ai Qianxue hurriedly stood up after hearing Tan Tan's words. Then, she walked to the side and picked up the cup. Then, she shook the bed and carefully fed Tan Tan.
Tan Tan took a sip of water. Then, his gaze fell on Ai Qianxue's exquisite face…
Ai Qianxue's pretty face turned red when Tan Tan stared at her. Then, she thought of something. She glared at Tan Tan with her red and swollen eyes. At this moment, she had returned to her previous arrogant appearance.
"Staff Officer Ai, why are your eyes swollen…"
Tan Tan asked with a smile.
Ai Qianxue stared at Tan Tan with a red face and said,""None of your business!"
After saying that, he put down the cup in his hand and walked out of the ward quickly.
She wanted to call Li Xiang and tell him that Tan Tan had woken up.
After making the call, Ai Qianxue returned to the ward. Then, she saw Tan Tan struggling to get up from the hospital bed…
Ai Qianxue hurriedly walked over. She stretched out her hand to support Tan Tan and asked with a frown,""What are you doing! Don't you know that you just finished the surgery?"
"I need to go to the toilet…"
Tan Tan said.
Tan Tan then said," Advisor Ai, please help me call a male doctor. No one will help me take off my pants later."”
Tan Tan raised his bandaged hands as he spoke.
Ai Qianxue's face instantly turned red. She thought for a few seconds, then gritted her teeth and said,"There's no need to call the doctor. I'll help you!”
Tan Tan was somewhat stunned. He looked at Ai Qianxue strangely.
Ai Qianxue glared at him and explained,""We're soldiers and comrades. There's no need to divide these…"
"Alright…"
Tan Tan was a grown man, so he naturally wouldn't be bashful. Therefore, he straightforwardly agreed.
Then, Ai Qianxue supported Tan Tan as they walked toward the bathroom.
Ten minutes later…
Tan Tan returned to his bed. Meanwhile, Ai Qianxue was washing her hands with a flushed face in the bathroom.
Ai Qianxue only came out of the bathroom after she washed a few more times. She looked at Tan Tan, who was looking at her with a strange expression. She couldn't help but say in a cold voice,""This matter must not be revealed!"
"Yes, Advisor Ai." Tan Tan smiled.”
Ai Qianxue snorted.
"By the way, how long have I been unconscious? How is Auntie?”
Tan Tan asked.
Ai Qianxue said," You've slept for eight hours. Auntie and the others are doing well. If you had come to the hospital a little later, the regiment would have held a memorial service for you!"”
After saying that, Ai Qianxue's gaze became complicated as she asked,""How did you do it?"
"What do you mean how did you do it?" Tan Tan was stunned.”
"It's more than 700 meters from safe house No. 3 to the place where you crawled out. You were trapped for more than 40 hours. And why didn't you wait for our rescue near Safe House No. 3?”
Hearing Ai Qianxue's words, Tan Tan's face revealed a bitter smile as he said,""After Auntie was rescued, the second landslide caused Safe House No. 3 to collapse completely. In addition, the surrounding collapsed area is not stable. What if the rocks fall and kill me with so many people rescuing me…At that time, I didn't have a second choice…"
Tan Tan's words made Ai Qianxue's heart ache.
She could imagine the difficulties that Tan Tan had faced at that time.
"Does your hand hurt too much?"
Ai Qianxue's tone softened.
Tan Tan smiled and said," It's still alright. It's much better than when I was digging previously. Every time I almost gave up, I would think of someone giving me something in the heavy rain. There would also be someone waiting outside for me to come out."
Ai Qianxue's face turned pink again. She lowered her head and said nothing.
The atmosphere in the ward became quiet.
After an unknown amount of time…
Footsteps and Lu Xiaotian's excited voice came from outside the door.
Then, the door of the ward opened, and Li Xiang walked in with the cooks.
Ai Qianxue stood up and left the ward when she saw the crowd.
After Ai Qianxue had left, Tan Tan looked at Li Xiang, Lu Xiaotian, and the others who had just entered.""Company commander, class monitor, Xiao Tian, why are you guys here? There's no need to mobilize so many people, right?"
Lu Xiaotian hurriedly walked over when he heard Tan Tan's words. He put down the things he was carrying and said,""Brother Tan, you scared me to death. I almost thought…Pei pei, look at my mouth. Right, this is the millet porridge that our Squad Leader Fan specially made for you. It's delicious. I'll get it for you."
After saying that, Lu Xiaotian hurriedly took out the millet porridge.
Li Xiang walked to Tan Tan's bedside and stood upright. He saluted Tan Tan with a serious expression and said,"Tan Tan, as a mother's son, this is to thank you for saving his mother!”
Tan Tan smiled and said," You're my company commander. We have a superior and subordinate relationship. However, we're also comrades in arms. It's a little too much for you to thank me."”
Hearing Tan Tan's words, Li Xiang's expression was complicated. Then, he said seriously,""Right, we are comrades! In private, you're my younger brother, my biological younger brother!”
"Haha, okay, then I'll call you Brother Li from now on. When I return to the company, Brother, you have to give me a special treatment…"
Tan Tan laughed.
Everyone laughed when they heard Tan Tan's words.
