Gu Qingqiu struggled to help Yan Shengxiao back to bed, then, without a second thought, immediately went out to find a doctor.

Fortunately, the large group of people outside had already left, and even Yan Anjian and Zhang Lili were nowhere to be seen. No one knew what they had gone to do.

"Doctor? Where's the doctor?" Gu Qingqiu asked anxiously, "Yan Shengxiao just fainted!"

Upon hearing this, a doctor immediately rushed into the ward to examine Yan Shengxiao. Gu Qingqiu was at a loss and could only seek comfort from the system.

Gu Qingqiu: [System! The male lead shouldn't get into trouble so easily, right?]

Male Protagonist System: [Host, don't let worry cloud your judgment. Yan Shengxiao won't get into trouble so easily.]

Gu Qingqiu: [That's good. I was so scared just now. How could Yan Shengxiao suddenly wake up?]

Male Lead System: [I also find it strange. Logically speaking, given Yan Shengxiao's physical condition, he shouldn't have woken up so quickly. The plot hasn't reached that point yet. His current state seems like he forcibly woke up, his physical strength was drained, and he then fell into a brief coma. Don't worry too much, there's no major danger.]

Gu Qingqiu: [Why did he suddenly wake up? Did he hear the commotion outside?]

Male protagonist system: [Probably worried that the host will be bullied.]

Gu Qingqiu felt a warm current flow through her heart. Yan Shengxiao actually... cared about her that much?

The doctor quickly finished examining Yan Shengxiao and brought good news: "The patient is now fine, just a little exhausted. He just needs to rest. And his successful awakening proves that his condition is gradually improving."

Gu Qingqiu was so moved that she wanted to wipe away her tears. "Thank you, doctor, you've worked so hard."

After seeing the doctor off, Gu Qingqiu sat by the bedside with Yan Shengxiao for a while, while Yan Anjian, Yan Yanan, and Zhang Lili returned to the ward.

Seeing Yan Shengxiao lying unconscious on the bed, the expressions on the faces of the group were varied.

If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I probably would have thought that Yan Shengxiao's getting up was just an illusion.

Gu Qingqiu gave them the order to leave, saying, "Shengxiao needs to rest. Please leave."

Yan Anjian's expression was not good, and his tone was full of reproach towards Gu Qingqiu, "Little Gu, this is where you're wrong. How can you be so insensible? Why didn't you tell me about Shengxiao's health condition sooner? I'm his biological father, would I harm him?"

Gu Qingqiu said bluntly, "I know about Yan Shengxiao's physical condition because I spend every day and night with him. As his biological father, how many times did you come to the Yan family's old house when Shengxiao needed care and attention the most? Did you even check on his physical condition when you came? You don't care about him at all, so there's no need for you to pretend to question me now."

Being questioned to his face by a junior, Yan Anjian's expression was not good either. "How do you know I don't care about Shengxiao? We are blood relatives, we are the closest of family!"

"Alright, alright," Zhang Lili stepped in to smooth things over, "We're all family, don't say things that hurt our feelings. Xiao Qiu... it seems you and Sheng Xiao get along well, why haven't you talked to your mother about it?"

Yan Yanan's expression was also complicated. "Xiao Qiu, do you really like my older brother?" He had seen it very clearly just now. Yan Shengxiao was always aloof and had never shown any affection to anyone. But just now, he clearly acted very close to and dependent on Gu Qingqiu, which did not seem like the first time he had met Gu Qingqiu.

Could it be that Yan Shengxiao deliberately used this car accident to eliminate his rivals, and that he had actually woken up long ago...?

Gu Qingqiu knew without guessing what these people were thinking. If they knew that Yan Shengxiao had his own consciousness from the very beginning, they would be terrified.

Yan Shengxiao's mere appearance was enough to create such a deterrent effect, which suggests that he is indeed a person with ruthless methods in ordinary times.

Finally, the medical staff ushered everyone out of the ward, saying that Yan Shengxiao needed to rest.

Gu Qingqiu was worried about leaving, so she asked Xiao Fang to pack some clean clothes so she could stay at the hospital to take care of her.

Of course, Gu Qingqiu didn't forget to report Yan Shengxiao's health condition to Yan Mingzhong. Although the farce that happened today should have already reached Yan Mingzhong's ears, the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

As expected, Yan Mingzhong only instructed Gu Qingqiu to take good care of Yan Shengxiao, and Gu Qingqiu readily asked the school for leave.

...

Yan Shengxiao felt as if his body had been drained. He could not feel his body, and his consciousness was also in a daze, entering a half-dreaming, half-awake state. His perception of the outside world was also very vague.

After this situation continued for several days, he suddenly felt that everything around him became clear again, and he could hear the little bride breathing.

She was indeed with him.

Yan Shengxiao's eyelids trembled a few times. He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a snow-white ceiling and an IV drip still in place.

With great effort, Yan Shengxiao turned his head and saw Gu Qingqiu's sleeping profile.

Gu Qingqiu had dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she hadn't been sleeping well for the past two days, which was why she unconsciously fell asleep on the bed.

Yan Shengxiao felt both guilty and heartbroken. He gently reached out and stroked Gu Qingqiu's cheek.

The last time he woke up, the situation was unusual, and he didn't even have time to properly look at his little bride.

The young bride was even more beautiful than Yan Shengxiao had imagined. She had fair skin, rosy lips, and long, flowing black hair that reached her waist. When she closed her eyes, you could see her thick eyelashes, and she slept very obediently.

So cute...

Yan Shengxiao felt his lips twitch slightly, only to realize that he had unconsciously smiled as he looked at the little bride's sleeping face.
