Chapter 38 An Unforgettable Dream

Shen Jin lay in the hospital ward for several days before waking up. His face regained some color, but due to severe dehydration and low blood pressure, he was still bedridden.

The moment he opened his eyes, he stared blankly at the ceiling, smelled the disinfectant, looked down at the hand with the IV drip, and his weak face showed a weak movement of his lips.

He thought, finally someone is helping me, I'm not in so much pain anymore...

...Is that person...Yan Yu?

I dialed his number when I fainted, and although I hung up... I guess he was worried about me... so he went to see me and brought me to the hospital...

His blank, lifeless eyes gradually cleared, and he glanced around the ward. His weak lips moved slightly, and he managed to utter two words with difficulty: "Ah... Yu..."

In the ward, there was no one else besides him, so his calls were met with a long silence that was enough to suffocate anyone.

After a while, the door was gently pushed open, and Chen Jin's unfocused eyes flickered instantly. He hurriedly turned around and couldn't help but call out, "Ah—"

The faint smile that had been forced onto her weak, pale face froze instantly as she stared blankly at Bai Yujin, who stood somewhat bewildered in front of the door.

Bai Yujin was stunned for a moment: "You're awake?"

Shen Jin stared at him blankly, pursed his lips, and nodded slightly. Although he wanted to force a smile at Bai Yujin, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes when he saw that the person who came was not Yan Yu...

Isn't it A-Yu...? Then who was the person sitting beside him in the dream, talking to him...?

Bai Yujin, still holding a bowl of porridge, approached him with some surprise, placed the porridge on the table, and waved his hand in front of him: "Do you know who I am?"

Shen Jin nodded: "I know..."

"Oh my god!" Bai Yujin breathed a sigh of relief, pulled up a chair and sat down. After catching his breath, he couldn't help but scold, "Do you know how many days you've been unconscious? You had a high fever, severe dehydration, and low blood pressure. If we had found you any later, you wouldn't have woken up!"

"You... brought me here?" Shen Jin's throat was a little sore, probably from crying one day. His voice was hoarse and difficult to speak. "These past few days... have you been with me all this time...?"

Bai Yujin glared at him defiantly: "Who else did you think it was?"

Speechless at his questioning, Shen Jin felt the last vestiges of hope in his heart crumble bit by bit, replaced by an overwhelming bitterness that threatened to drown him. He could only close his eyes and weakly murmur, "I didn't... think... anyone..."

Bai Yujin narrowed his eyes, a complex emotion flashing across his peach blossom eyes, disappearing in an instant.

The image of Shen Jin lying unconscious in the hospital bed, his face contorted in pain, his words broken and choked with sobs, flashed through my mind—

"Ah Yu... I'm in so much pain... Please stay with me..."

"Ayu, I feel so uncomfortable... so cold... hug me, please..."

"Ayu...why aren't you saying anything...please talk to me..."

Now, Bai Yujin looked at the person who was also lying in a hospital bed, but was denying it with his eyes closed, and instantly burst into laughter.

He thought, "They don't even care about you, so why bother thinking about them so much?"

You've been lying in the hospital for days, and he hasn't even made a single phone call...

Bai Yujin let out a soft breath and said slowly, "Your health is important. You need to rest well first and not think about so much."

Shen Jin's face was still pale as he lay on the pure white hospital bed. He gently shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips: "I didn't... want to..."

I just had... a very beautiful... very beautiful dream, though it was brief, I... can't forget it...
