After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 77

It has been a week since the surgery.

With the aid of the nurse, Wen Jiao grasped the parallel bars beside her. Next, the nurse let go, and Wen Jiao slowly eased the pressure from her hands on the bars, planting both feet on the floor.

She could now feel the ground beneath her, but lifting her leg to take a step was still difficult, though she could at least stand.

After a week of rehabilitation training, she had achieved significant results.

Xia Shishi could already picture Wen Jiao standing beside her in a white wedding dress at the ceremony.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Wen Jiao, however, felt it wasn’t enough. Despite being drenched in cold sweat, she still wanted to lift her leg and try to move forward.

Yet, this movement was incredibly challenging for her. After a long moment, Wen Jiao still couldn’t lift her foot, although she did manage to move forward slightly. But the next second, her stance became unstable, and she nearly fell. Fortunately, she quickly grabbed the parallel bars, saving herself from hitting the ground.

Just this small movement left Wen Jiao’s hospital gown completely soaked with sweat.

Not only did it require immense effort, but she also had to endure a sharp, piercing pain in her feet.

Finally, Xia Shishi couldn’t take it anymore: “That’s enough training, right?”

Compared to this, the military training she had participated in felt like nothing. At least under the scorching sun, she could stand steadily.

The nurse quickly rushed over to support her: “Excessive training is actually detrimental to recovery.”

Only then did Wen Jiao stop.

The wheelchair was quickly brought over for Wen Jiao to sit back down.

Xia Shishi hugged Wen Jiao: “Wifey, you’re amazing, wuwu.”

Even if this scene was somewhat pitiful, it was a miracle.

Even the nurse found it incredible: “She’s the fastest recovering patient I’ve ever seen.”

Under those conditions, for the surgery to be successful, and for her to be able to stand in less than a week and take a step of a full ten centimeters, was truly unbelievable.

The patient’s spirit commanded respect, no matter the circumstances.

The nurse didn’t want to disturb the future wives and left the room with her report.

Wen Jiao returned the embrace to Xia Shishi: “Alright, get up first.”

Xia Shishi snuggled into Wen Jiao’s chest: “I don’t wanna.”

Wen Jiao: “…”

Little hooligan.

Wen Jiao stroked Xia Shishi’s head, deep in thought. She then looked at Xia Shishi: “Don’t you regret it?”

Xia Shishi looked up, not understanding Wen Jiao’s question.

She couldn’t think of anything she had done that she would regret.

“The wedding,” Wen Jiao looked at her.

“If we wait a little longer, we could walk together.”

In just half a month, standing up was her limit, and she couldn’t stand for too long, let alone walk hand-in-hand with Xia Shishi toward the officiant.

With such an important part missing from the romantic wedding, she worried Xia Shishi would regret it later.

Xia Shishi shook her head, feeling Wen Jiao didn’t understand.

In fact, she felt very happy.

Xia Shishi ran her hand over the armrest of the wheelchair. Even if they couldn’t walk hand-in-hand, she could push Wen Jiao over! This gave Xia Shishi a secret, private joy that Wen Jiao belonged to her, and only to her.

For someone as exceptional as Wen Jiao, this small issue made her even more perfect in Xia Shishi’s heart.

Besides, Wen Jiao would be able to stand up and walk like any other person sooner or later.

“We are already very happy.”

Xia Shishi started wiping Wen Jiao’s sweat again.

She mentioned Ye Murou: “I’m worried about her right now.”

Wei Xixue took the day off today, and they were likely meeting up, bringing both of their mothers.

“I didn’t expect her to have such an unfortunate past,” Xia Shishi sighed.

Wen Jiao knew what Xia Shishi was thinking. She paused, choosing her words carefully: “Things will change in the future. Didn’t you say that with you, the outcome would be different?”

Xia Shishi gave a wry smile. She had been referring to her and Wen Jiao’s outcome.

But Ye Murou was so heartbreakingly pitiful, so she decided to include her too.

It seems there’s a meteor shower tonight.

Xia Shishi had seen a magnificent starry sky before; it was beautiful, in a small town abroad.

It was hard to see stars in the bustling cities of the country, but Xia Shishi didn’t want to miss the meteor shower, so she sat spacing out, biting the spoon in her mouth.

She wanted to see the meteor shower. Where could she see it in the country?

Wen Jiao gently pulled the spoon out of her mouth: “You’re eating, focus.”

Xia Shishi snapped back to attention and told Wen Jiao: “I saw on the news that there will be a meteor shower tonight.”

Wen Jiao guessed Xia Shishi’s thoughts: “You want to go see it?”

She nodded.

She wanted to see it but couldn’t find a place.

“You should be able to see it in the suburbs. If you want to go, you can have the driver take you,” Wen Jiao didn’t think this was a problem.

“What about you?”

That was what Xia Shishi cared about.

It would be so boring to go by herself; she wanted to drag Wen Jiao along.

They could go see the starry sky abroad later when they had the chance, Xia Shishi wasn’t in a hurry now, but tonight was a meteor shower!

A meteor shower doesn’t happen every day. It’s because it’s so rare that people believe you can make a wish on it.

Wen Jiao: “I’ll watch from the hospital rooftop.”

Xia Shishi: “…Wifey, you can’t see it from the hospital rooftop.”

The city’s night lights were brighter than the moon, let alone the starlight, which would be easily drowned out.

She wouldn’t be able to see anything from the hospital rooftop.

Wen Jiao said very seriously: “I can pretend I saw it.”

Xia Shishi pouted: “Then you can’t pretend I’m next to you too.”

After saying that, she grinned, showing her bright white teeth, threatening that if Wen Jiao dared to say yes, she would bite her.

Wen Jiao was amused and stopped joking: “But I can’t be discharged. How about you go talk to the doctor to be lenient and then take me with you?”

“No way, what if something happens.”

That was why Xia Shishi was so preoccupied.

She couldn’t go alone, couldn’t take Wen Jiao, but really wanted to see it with Wen Jiao.

“Forget it, let’s just go to the rooftop.”

She could pretend she saw it too.

If all else failed, just getting some fresh air would be nice.

In the evening, the nurse and doctor had left work, and only a few medical staff were on duty. Xia Shishi covered Wen Jiao with a blanket and pushed her up to the hospital rooftop.

Quite a few people had heard about the meteor shower, but she hadn’t expected anyone else to be in the hospital and still think about watching it.

They, like Wen Jiao, planned to use the power of the mind, pretending they saw it.

There was minimal light on the hospital rooftop. They turned on their phone flashlights and looked up at the sky where only the moon was visible.

Xia Shishi pointed up: “Look, the Magpie Bridge.”

Even though there was nothing there, Xia Shishi described it as if it were real.

“It truly is,” Wen Jiao said. “It just so happens to be the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.”

Xia Shishi had forgotten about that. She had just pointed casually, wanting to say something romantic between lovers, and the first thing that came to mind was the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, so she said Magpie Bridge.

Hearing Wen Jiao’s reply, she opened her phone: “Wow, this is fate’s arrangement!”

“Look, even Heaven is blessing us!”

Wen Jiao mused: “I don’t think seeing each other once a year is a very romantic thing.”

Xia Shishi felt sheepish: “You’ve got a point.”

After watching for a while, the power of the mind wasn’t very effective. Xia Shishi simply searched for a live stream to see if anyone was streaming the meteor shower.

They had the atmosphere, and watching a live stream would be almost like being there.

Xia Shishi actually found a live stream.

Streamers nowadays are truly dedicated.

Xia Shishi was using her main account and forgot to switch. As soon as she entered, she was recognized by a follower in the live stream and was quickly noticed by the streamer.

Streamer: “Welcome, rich sister, to the live stream. Let me guess, are you with your fiancée?”

Xia Shishi raised her head in surprise: “How did he know? Does this mean our relationship is validated?”

“Perhaps because today is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.” This time is usually spent with loved ones, so it’s not hard to guess, plus the streamer might have just asked on a whim.

The comments section started laughing because of the streamer’s comment.

Laughing that even a rich woman would come to mooch the meteor shower from a live stream.

They didn’t know that Wen Jiao was hospitalized. They thought the two rich ladies were being down-to-earth, when in fact, they just couldn’t go out.

That didn’t stop Xia Shishi from being happy. She gifted the streamer quite a few small presents.

“Xia Kookoo.” (A playful nickname for Xia Shishi)

“Xia Kookoo makes a million in live streaming, but only spends a hundred on gifts.”

“How do you think rich women get their allowance? [Dog head].”

The comments only lasted for a moment. After the excitement died down, they focused on waiting for the meteor shower.

Even the streamer didn’t say much.

She didn’t know where the streamer was broadcasting from, but she could see quite a few stars on his end, which was much better than the hospital rooftop where Xia Shishi was.

Xia Shishi suddenly asked: “You’re a Sagittarius, right?”

Wen Jiao thought for a moment and nodded.

She didn’t celebrate her birthday much, and rarely paid attention to astrology. After calculating in her mind, she was indeed a Sagittarius.

Wen Jiao thought Xia Shishi was going to talk about the Sagittarius horoscope.

Instead, Xia Shishi looked carefully at the live stream, and then pointed at the sky above her head again: “Look, Sagittarius!”

She was still using the power of the mind.

Xia Shishi searched for a while based on the starry sky in the live stream, then pointed to the sky above. She drew a circle with her finger, telling Wen Jiao that was Sagittarius, then her finger moved, pointing to another spot: “Aries.”

She drew a line between the two constellations. That line passed through, like Cupid’s blessing.

“Meteor shower.”

The wind on the hospital rooftop was not strong.

The heat of the summer and the dry air, and the physical discomfort, were all swept away by the movement of that finger.

Sometimes, being childish has its advantages.

Even without a starry sky, the naive heart began to feel steadfast.

Wen Jiao sat in the wheelchair, watching Xia Shishi’s upturned mouth, and smiled along with her.

The live stream started to get excited, it seemed the meteor shower had appeared.

The meteor dragged a long tail as it streaked past the locations of Sagittarius and Aries. Although it was only for a brief moment, it truly felt like Cupid’s blessing.

Xia Shishi, having triumphantly drawn the line, winked at Wen Jiao. The excited voice of the streamer sounded from the live stream, but neither of them looked at it.

Because they had already seen the starry sky and the meteor shower.

Xia Shishi: “I really must take you to see a real starry sky. Wifey, have you ever seen the stars? Probably not.”

She felt Wen Jiao never went out at night.

Wen Jiao chuckled: “I have.”

“Impossible!”

“Haven’t you seen them in the manor?” Wen Jiao smiled even more happily.

She could see the stars in the manor? She hadn’t even gone out to look! Wait, she had definitely been to the garden at night, so why hadn’t she noticed the stars: “Are you lying to me?”

“Then why are you so easy to fool?” Wen Jiao gestured for Xia Shishi to get up from the floor, and even shared the blanket covering her legs.

“So, was there or wasn’t there…”
