“I didn’t do it for you.”

After Zhang Yichen finished his sentence, he was afraid that Huo Jinyao would misunderstand, so he added, “I’m a soldier for the people. Have you forgotten? No matter who it was, I would have saved her under those circumstances.”

His voice was a little hoarse. After sleeping for a few days, he was no longer as energetic as before. However, when he said this, his voice was still firm and convincing.

As if he was trying to see through him, Huo Jinyao stared at his face. No matter how hard he stared at Zhang Yichen, his expression didn’t change.

“Yes. Indeed, no matter who it was, you would have saved them. But you wouldn’t cut your own flesh and feed your blood to just anyone, right?”

Huo Jinyao’s words made Zhang Yichen glance at him. His brows furrowed, as if he was about to speak.

Huo Jinyao smiled helplessly. “You don’t have to deny it in front of me. I won’t misunderstand anything. I won’t doubt my wife just because of this. I just want to thank you, the kind that comes from the bottom of my heart.”

“Thank you, Uncle. If it weren’t for you, Qingsang would have... No matter what, you saved her. I don’t care if your motive was your duty as a soldier or your feelings for Qingsang. I’ll thank you regardless.”

Huo Jinyao restrained his expression and looked at him seriously. He said word by word, “Uncle, I owe you my life.”

Zhang Yichen fell silent. He suddenly turned his face away and looked at the sky outside the window.

The weather was gloomy, as if it was going to rain.

“You don’t owe me, and she doesn’t owe me either. I did it of my own free will. It’s what I should have done.”

He couldn’t think too much during the situation at that time. The only thought in his mind was that he couldn’t let Su Qingsang die.

What he said was also true. Even if that person wasn’t Su Qingsang, he wouldn’t have just stand by and watch.

“You said I don’t owe me anything, but I can’t treat it as if I don’t owe you anything.”

Huo Jinyao’s expression was extremely serious. He nodded heavily at Zhang Yichen.

“Thank you, Uncle.”

His eyes as deep as a sea of stars and filled with gratitude, he gazed at Zhang Yichen.

His brows tightly knitted together, Zhang Yichen retracted his gaze and looked at Huo Jinyao.

“Do you think that I’m the kind of person who would blackmail people indebted to me?!”

Huo Jinyao shook his head. “I didn’t mean that. But I will never let go of Su Qingsang, no matter what the reason is. No matter who she meets again, she would still be my wife.”

Zhang Yichen’s expression didn’t change. “I told you, I’m a soldier. I was just doing what a soldier should have done.”

..

When Huo Jinyao returned to the ward, Su Qingsang was still asleep. He sat beside Su Qingsang and stared at her sleeping face.

He held her hand and pressed it against his cheek.

Su Qingsang woke up because of his movements. She blinked and met Huo Jinyao’s gaze.

Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyao for a while and realized that he had been holding her hand the entire time.
