Jun Ye said to Yao Ye, "Eat slowly, someone is coming."
"Who?" Yao Ye asked.
"You'll know in a bit," Jun Ye teased.
Yao Ye said, "Are you uneasy because Gao Dashuai is gone? Looking for someone to replace him as a bodyguard? I think there's no need, lest we end up with another person needing rescue."
But Jun Ye replied, "There is strength in numbers. One more person is one more strength. If Gao Dashuai hadn't been stabbed, can you guarantee that the knife wouldn't have hit one of us?"
Yao Ye thought his wife might have been stabbed and immediately fell silent.
After dinner, they sat in the county hospital, nearly three hours had passed. Yao Ye adjusted his wife's head so she could rest on his shoulder more comfortably. Jun Ye popped a piece of gum into his mouth, chewing it to clean his teeth and kill time.
