Chapter 385 The aftermath
Chapter 385 The aftermath
In the hospital clinic, Wen Song looked at the large area of redness, swelling and bruises on Cheng Che's back, and felt angry and worried, and was so sad that he could hardly speak. During his years as an athlete, he had practiced difficult movements but had never suffered such a serious injury. Now he was out for a walk and encountered an earthquake, and was hit by a flower pot. It was really an unexpected disaster.
She anxiously asked the doctor about Cheng Che's condition, and patiently translated for him, asking about his feelings. Cheng Che smiled, held her hand, and said softly, "Don't worry, honey, it doesn't hurt anymore, it just looks scary."
Fortunately, Cheng Che's injury was not serious, it was just a soft tissue contusion. With cold compresses and medication, he will recover after a week of rest.
Wen Song thanked the doctor, prescribed some medicine, and left with Cheng Che, but she still looked sad. Cheng Che leaned forward and kissed her, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, baby. When I was an athlete, I had injuries like this every day, and I never saw you so worried."
"It's different..." Wen Song felt a little guilty. If she hadn't been so reckless at the time, Cheng Che wouldn't have been injured to protect her. "Ah Che, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have saved the kitten at the time... It should have been able to run away. It's so agile."
"How can I blame you?" Cheng Che hugged her and comforted her, "Songsong, you did nothing wrong in saving the kitten, and I'm very happy that you did it. If you must blame someone, blame me. I shouldn't have dragged you out for a walk. If we were at home, none of this would have happened. Okay, don't be unhappy. We'll go home and take a hot spring bath later. Can you help me apply some ice?"
"Don't say that." Wen Song held his hand, lifted him up and looked at him with a smile, "Well, we are just unlucky. Let's go home. I will help you apply ice to your back. Ah Che, the muscles on your back are really sexy. I love seeing them the most."
"Little rascal." Cheng Che pinched Wen Song's hand and said, "I knew you liked it. Go home and watch it slowly."
When they got home, the housekeeper was already waiting outside with the police and the owners of the flowerpot, a couple. They said to Wen Song, "Professor, this is Mr. Ikeda, the owner of the house where the flowerpot hit Mr. Cheng today, and his wife."
The police also told Wen Song: "We want to first understand Mr. Cheng's injuries. If the injuries are serious enough to constitute a crime, we will arrest Mr. Ikeda. But if the injuries are not serious and Mr. Ikeda has expressed his willingness to bear all responsibilities and financial compensation, in this case, we would suggest that everyone can reach a settlement."
The Ikeda couple immediately bowed and apologized, saying, "I'm so sorry. It's our fault. We didn't expect an earthquake to happen at night, so we didn't bring the flower pots indoors in time, which led to Mr. Cheng's injury. We are really sorry. We are willing to bear all the medical expenses and compensate you two."
Wen Song said bluntly: "Kagoshima is located in an earthquake zone. Anyone with common sense knows that earthquakes can happen at any time. Your house is facing the street, why do you put flower pots on the balcony? This is basic common sense. The lack of earthquake warning is not a reason for you to do this."
Cheng Che was also a little surprised when he heard her words. Wen Song had always been very gentle when speaking Japanese, speaking slowly and softly. But this time, her attitude was very tough and a little harsh, which was something he had never seen before. But he was a little moved. She was always calm and relaxed, and she would only be so anxious when something happened to him.
Mrs. Ikeda immediately said, "I'm so sorry. I wouldn't leave it there normally. I just put it on the balcony today because the weather was nice and I wanted to let the flowers bask in the sun. I'm so sorry. It was my oversight. I'm so sorry."
Mr. Ikeda looked at his wife with great dissatisfaction, and said to Wen Song and Cheng Che, "I am so sorry. It was my wife's negligence. She did not put the flowerpot into the house in time. I am sorry. May I ask how is this gentleman's injury? We are willing to bear all the expenses."
Cheng Che felt a little embarrassed when he saw the two men bowing so low that they were almost kneeling down before them. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the injury is not serious."
Then he told the police: "It's all right now."
The police then asked, "Excuse me, are you going to hold Mr. and Mrs. Ikeda responsible?"
Cheng Che didn't understand this sentence, and asked Wen Song in a low voice: "What did he say?"
Wen Song translated it for him, and Cheng Che immediately said in English: "Thank you, we will not pursue any responsibility."
Perhaps because Wen Song always spoke Japanese, and was very fluent, the Ikeda couple did not realize that she was a foreigner. They understood after hearing them speak Chinese and English.
Mr. Ikeda probably thought that they didn't understand him, so he immediately whispered to Mrs. Ikeda angrily, "It's all because of you! You can't even do housework properly, and you made me go through all this! You only need to do housework, why can't you do such a small thing properly?"
Mrs. Ikeda just lowered her head and kept repeating "I'm sorry."
Wen Song originally didn't want to let it go, but after hearing what Mr. Ikeda said, she knew that if she insisted on pursuing the matter, Mrs. Ikeda would definitely be blamed by her husband, and looking at her humble appearance, she didn't seem like someone who would fight for herself.
As a woman, she didn't understand why Mrs. Ikeda was so humble, but she didn't want to embarrass her. Wen Song sighed, shook her head and said to the police, "We won't pursue it. Thank you for your hard work."
Mrs. Ikeda immediately bowed to Wen Song with gratitude and said, "Thank you! I'm so sorry! I'm sorry!"
Cheng Che did not understand the conversation between the Ikeda couple. He was a little surprised why Wen Song chose to reconcile so easily. This was not like her style at all.
Wen Song and Cheng Che walked into the house together. Wen Song told Cheng Che their conversation helplessly and sighed, "I didn't want to let it go, but your injury wasn't serious. Even if we really pursued responsibility, they would just pay compensation, and we don't need that little money. But Mrs. Ikeda will definitely be scolded to death by her husband, so I think let it go. I don't want to embarrass her."
"My wife is right." Cheng Che leaned forward and kissed her. "I've said it before, my Iseylia is the kindest. Although she looks a little cold, she is very kind in her heart. But that man is too much. His wife does the housework alone, and he is the boss. He even has the nerve to say such things. Can't he bring the flower pot into the house by himself? Can't he do such a small thing?"
Wen Song couldn't help laughing when he saw Cheng Che was so indignant. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yes, so when compared, I think my husband is the best in the world. Go take a shower."
Cheng Che was overjoyed when he heard her words. He immediately picked up Wen Song by the waist, kissed her and said, "Let's go together."
"Ache!" Wen Song hit his hand, "You are injured, you need to have a good rest."
"My back is injured, it won't affect me." Cheng Che lowered his head and kissed her earlobe, and said in a very low voice, "It's okay as long as you let me be on top."
Wen Song deliberately let out a helpless sigh, kissed him again, and whispered in Cheng Che's ear: "But I want to be on top...Hubby, you will agree to me, right?"
"Little fox..." Cheng Che looked at her pitifully, "Just today, let me have this chance, okay? Look, I'm injured."
Wen Song was amused by his coquettish appearance, nodded and kissed the corner of Cheng Che's lips, his voice also revealed a bit of charm, "Okay, whatever you say."
At night, Wen Song put an ice pack on Cheng Che's back and looked at the shocking blood bruises. He realized how dangerous the situation was today. If the flower pot had hit his head, or if the magnitude of the earthquake today was a little bigger, the consequences would be disastrous...
She couldn't help but sigh, and held Cheng Che's hand tightly, saying, "Let's go to Kyoto tomorrow. I saw on the news that there may be more earthquakes in the sea around Kagoshima. It's very dangerous. Or, let's go back to Zurich or go to other places where there are no earthquakes."
"It's okay." Cheng Che smiled and comforted her, "Those were just minor earthquakes, nothing serious. Didn't my wife say that this house is very earthquake-resistant, and there won't be any problems below magnitude 7. If you like Kagoshima, we can stay a few more days."
"It's different." Wen Song sighed, lying down next to Cheng Che facing him, holding an ice pack on his back and hugging him.
"If I were alone, earthquakes and tsunamis wouldn't matter. I would just die if I died. But you are with me, I can't let you get hurt. And now we have Astrid and Che. We didn't have complete families when we were young. I can't let Astrid end up like us..."
Wen Song said, with a hint of tears in her voice. She sometimes envied Astrid, envied her for growing up with her parents, and envied her for having a father who loved her and would do everything for her. These were very common things, but they were also things she would never get in her life.
Cheng Che immediately hugged her, kissed her forehead and comforted her, "No, Songsong, absolutely not. Nothing will happen to us. We will definitely accompany Astrid to grow up. Have you forgotten that she will also sponsor your research? When Astrid grows up, how about asking her to sponsor you to develop the Oort Cloud Probe?"
"Yeah." Wen Song burst into laughter and kissed Cheng Che on the lips, "So in the future, I won't be so careless and won't go skiing in the wild anymore."
"It's okay, go if you want, I'll accompany you. With me here, nothing will happen." Cheng Che stroked Wen Song's long hair, kissed her and said, "Although we have a daughter now, you are just yourself, so you can do whatever you want, without any worries."
"Okay." Wen Song nodded, kissed Cheng Che and said, "Then let's take Astrid with us."
"That's not possible. It's too dangerous. Let's wait until she learns how to ski. She is now..." Cheng Che lowered his voice and said, "I'm telling you in secret. You are not allowed to tell her. She is really bad at it. I'll be worried if she goes to the underworld."
"Wow, Cheng Che!" Wen Song gently hit Cheng Che's arm, "She's obviously a very good skater, you can't compare her with yourself! I'm going to complain to Astrid."
"No." Cheng Che hugged Wen Song and said coquettishly, "Sister promised me that she would not tell her. I didn't compare her to myself. I think she is much worse than you, so she is a little green."
"You can't compare with me. I've been skating for many years." Wen Song smiled, with a little more pride in his tone, "Astrid is great. She will do well in everything she does."
"Of course, she's like you, perfect in everything she does." Cheng Che lowered his head and kissed her brow, gently brushing away the strands of hair in front of her forehead, "Baby, if you want to go to Kyoto, let's go tomorrow."
"Okay." Wen Song nodded and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes became very gentle, "The cherry blossoms in Kyoto are blooming, we can invite Si Yao to come home and play."
"Okay." Cheng Che hugged her and kissed her, his voice becoming more gentle, "I'll make you something delicious."
