The next day, late at night. Su Huan's fingers were still painful, and she tossed and turned in bed, finally falling asleep after much difficulty. Gu Beixian lay beside her, holding her. Suddenly, his phone vibrated. Fearing he would wake Su Huan, Gu Beixian muted the phone and gently withdrew his arm from under her neck, intending to answer it outside. However, halfway through, Su Huan woke up, opening her eyes to look at him, her eyes bleary with sleep, and asked, "What's wrong?" Gu Beixian pointed to his phone, "I need to take a call." "Just answer it here, don't go out, it's cold outside," she said considerately. Gu Beixian grunted in agreement, answered the call, and asked, "Mo Chen, what's up?" Chu Suosuo's brother, Chu Mo Chen, spoke politely, "Sorry to disturb you so late. Suosuo's hand was smashed with a hammer, four fingers on her left hand are severely fractured, and she's in a bad state, crying non-stop, wanting to see you. Are you available to come and see her now?" Gu Beixian's expression changed, and he sat up to ask, "When did this happen?" "Over two hours ago." Gu Beixian's brow furrowed, and he said, "I'll be right there." "Thank you, I'll send you the ward number later." "Okay."

Putting down his phone, Gu Beixian began to unbutton his pajamas, doing so quickly. Seeing his anxious appearance, Su Huan had an intuition that he would probably not come back tonight after he left. She guessed that he would take care of Chu Suosuo just like he took care of her, with hugs and endearments, doing his utmost to soothe her. Su Huan felt a piercing pain in her heart, as if it was being stabbed with a knife. Recalling Xiao Yi's words, telling her to be coquettish when she should be, and fragile when she should be, otherwise she couldn't compete with Chu Suosuo. Su Huan couldn't be coquettish at a time like this, but she could be fragile, after all, fragility is a woman's nature. She suddenly wrapped her arms around Gu Beixian's waist and buried her head in his chest, her intention clear, not wanting him to leave. Gu Beixian's hand, which was unbuttoning, paused, and he raised his hand to touch her head, his voice softening as he said, 'Be good, I'll just take a look and then come back.' Su Huan refused to let go, still holding tightly onto his waist, and pleaded softly, 'Can you wait until dawn to go? When it's light, I'll accompany you.' Gu Beixian frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure, 'You've always been reasonable, what's wrong tonight?'

He was subtly accusing her of being unreasonable and troublesome. Su Huan thought to herself, if being unreasonable and troublesome, then so be it. In the three years of marriage, she had never been unreasonable and troublesome, but tonight she would make an exception. At this moment, whether it was about love or not didn't really matter much; it had turned into a contest between her and Chu Suosuo, two women. She just wanted to irritate Chu Suosuo, to clearly and distinctly irritate her, as she had never irritated anyone so much in her life. Gu Beixian waited for a while, seeing that she still refused to let go. He raised his hand and pried off her fingers, one by one, from around his waist. He took off his pajamas, got dressed, and left. Su Huan stared blankly at the closed bedroom door, her self-esteem shattered into pieces. In a few more hours, dawn would break, and he couldn't wait. No matter what a substitute did, in the end, she could never compare to his childhood sweetheart, the white moonlight in his heart. Su Huan laughed at herself self-mockingly, enduring the pain in her hand, she got out of bed and locked the ward door from the inside. Lying back down in bed, her eyes reddened, and she felt so sad inside. Gu Beixian arrived at Chu Suosuo's ward. She had just been transferred from the operating room, lying on the hospital bed, curled up in pain, her complexion pale gray, eyes swollen and red, looking haggard and unrecognizable. Four broken fingers were splinted, the back of her hand swollen high, the skin stretched thin, the wounds mottled and terrifying. Hua Qirou covered her face, crying so hard she couldn't catch her breath. Chu's father stood by the window in the corridor, smoking one cigarette after another in silence. Seeing Gu Beixian arrive, Chu Mochen came over and said politely, 'Beixian, it's so late, and we've troubled you to come over.' 'It's okay.'

Gu Beixian finished speaking indifferently, walked to the bedside, leaned down slightly to look at Chu Suosuo, and called softly, 'Suosuo.' Chu Suosuo, who had been staring blankly, slowly turned her head upon hearing Gu Beixian's voice. When she saw his face, she burst into tears with a 'wa.' Gu Beixian bent down to sit beside the bed, gently patted her arm, and said, 'Suosuo, be strong.' Tears streamed down Chu Suosuo's face as she sobbed, 'My hand, Beixian brother, my hand is useless.' Gu Beixian comforted her, 'You're still young, it will heal.' 'It won't heal, it's a comminuted fracture, the bone fragments were pieced together bit by bit, my life is over,' Chu Suosuo cried out in despair, sobbing heartbreakingly. Looking at Chu Suosuo crying heartbreakingly, Gu Beixian's mind, however, conjured up the image of Su Huan's hopeless eyes when her finger was broken. He pulled out some tissue paper, gently wiped away her tears, and coaxed, 'Don't cry, stay positive.' 'I can't be positive, woo woo woo.' He didn't know how long he had been comforting Chu Suosuo, but she kept crying. Gu Beixian felt a bit annoyed, glanced at his watch, and realized he had been out for nearly an hour. Su Huan must be angry by now. After pondering for a moment, he took out a card from his wallet and placed it on the bedside table, saying, 'I came in such a hurry that I didn't buy anything. This is a little token from me, the password is 618618. It's too late, Su Huan is still waiting for me in the ward, I'll go back first.' Chu Suosuo immediately stopped crying, looked at him in disbelief, and said hoarsely with difficulty, 'Beixian brother, am I still like this, and you want to leave?' 'Yes, I'll come to see you tomorrow.'

"Don't go, okay?" Chu Suosuo's eyes were brimming with tears as she pouted and reached for his hand, a needle still stuck in the back of it. She looked so fragile and helpless, pitiable to the extreme. Gu Beixian was silent for a moment, then gently withdrew his hand and said softly, "Be good. You have your parents and brother to accompany you, but Su Huan only has me." Chu Suosuo was unwilling to accept this, "Doesn't she also have a mother?" "Her grandmother is hospitalized, and her mother has been taking care of her these past few days." Chu Suosuo was extremely disappointed, "Beixian bro, you've changed. You used to be so caring towards me. You would stay with me all night when I had a fever." She started crying again. Chu Mochen frowned and said to Gu Beixian, "Beixian, you should head back. Suosuo will be taken care of by us." Gu Beixian nodded slightly at him, stood up, and asked, "Who did it? Was the person caught?" Chu Mochen shook his head, "No. That person was waiting for Suosuo in the underground parking lot. As soon as she got out of the car, she was knocked unconscious, dragged to a corner, and her left hand was smashed with a hammer. Nothing valuable was taken from her bag, and Suosuo wasn't violated. It's not a case of robbery or sexual assault, it's clearly revenge." Gu Beixian seemed thoughtful, "I'll send someone to investigate." "No need, the police have already been notified, thank you." "Alright." Gu Beixian turned and walked out. As soon as the door closed. Chu Suosuo grabbed a pillow and threw it on the floor, bursting into loud sobs. She cried so hard she could hardly catch her breath, hiccupping and saying, "Beixian bro and I grew up together, over a decade of feelings, why can't it compare to his three years of marriage with Su Huan? Wuu wuu wuu, I hate her, I hate that bumpkin to death!"

Chu Mo Chen picked up the pillow and put it back on the bed, saying, 'When you are with Gu Bei Xian, he is dressed in fine clothes and rides a noble horse, full of spirit. But when Su Huan is with Gu Bei Xian, it is the most difficult and desperate time of his life. As the saying goes, true colors are shown in adversity, and your decade or so naturally can't compare to his three years.' Chu Suo Suo's emotions immediately got out of control, and she shouted at him: 'Why are you also siding with him? Are you really my brother, or hers?' 'I am analyzing the situation objectively,' Chu Mo Chen said calmly. Chu Suo Suo cried even more desperately. Chu's father stood by and said in a muffled voice, 'Mo Chen, you should say less, your sister's hand is injured so badly.' Gu Bei Xian returned to Su Huan's ward, pushed the door, but it didn't open, as it was locked from the inside. He knocked on the door for a long time, but Su Huan refused to open it, nor did she answer her phone. He raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose and asked the bodyguard to find a way to unlock the door. A few minutes later, the lock was opened. Gu Bei Xian walked in. Su Huan lay on the bed, facing away from him, ignoring him. Gu Bei Xian changed into pajamas, lay down beside her, and pulled her into his arms. Su Huan struggled a bit but couldn't move, her eyes red, but her voice was cold, saying, 'Prepare the divorce agreement tomorrow.' Gu Bei Xian's grip on her tightened, and after a long silence, his Adam's apple moved, and he said, 'I'm tired, let's sleep.' After dawn, Gu Bei Xian accompanied Su Huan for breakfast. He reached out to touch her face, his gaze gentle, 'I have a meeting in the morning, I'll come back to have lunch with you.' Su Huan turned her head away and said indifferently, 'No need, don't forget about the divorce agreement.'

Gu Beixian's face darkened, "Grandma has been in poor health recently, and your hand is injured. Let's talk about it later." He stood up, changed his clothes, and left. After the doctor changed the dressing, Su Huan took a book and sat quietly on the bed to read. By noon, the bodyguard knocked on the door and said, "Young Madam, Miss Chu's mother is at the door and would like to visit you." Su Huan was silent for a few seconds and said, "Let her in." The door was pushed open, and Hua Qirou walked in with swollen eyes, glaring at Su Huan and gritting her teeth, "It was you, wasn't it?" Su Huan was taken aback, "What?" "You had someone smash Shuoshuo's hand with a hammer, didn't you?" Su Huan's expression paused slightly, but she quickly calmed down and said, "It wasn't me." Hua Qirou stepped forward and grabbed her collar, "You vicious girl, you have such a cruel heart! You've taken Shuoshuo's beloved and now you want to smash her hand! I have only one daughter, just one daughter, whom I hold in the palm of my hand afraid of the sun, and in my mouth afraid of melting. You actually smashed her hand! I'll fight you to the end today!" Hearing the noise, Aunt Liu hurried out of the bathroom and pulled Hua Qirou off Su Huan. Hua Qirou, still being pulled by Aunt Liu, kept lunging forward, cursing and reaching out to hit Su Huan. "Slut," "damn girl," "country bumpkin," all kinds of foul language kept spewing from her mouth, making her look like a complete shrew. Su Huan listened quietly for a full seven or eight minutes, then said to Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, please step aside a bit." Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, then slowly let go of Hua Qirou and moved aside. Su Huan grabbed the cup on the bedside table and smashed it towards Hua Qirou's face. With a bang, the stainless steel thermos cup hit her nose hard, and blood gushed out immediately. Su Huan pointed to the door and shouted, "Get out!"
