Chapter 481 I and Eleven Others Fight for My Lover 01

Smoke swirled in the small ward, and the cigarette in Shen Huiming's hand drew gray tracks in the air.

He Ying frowned, with obvious dissatisfaction in her voice, "Why are you smoking again? This is a ward, smoking is not allowed."

Shen Huiming waved his hand impatiently, trying to dispel the smoke in front of him, "Just smoke one, it will be over soon. Why are you still so impatient?"

He Ying's face grew even darker, and her voice rose a few notches. "I've always been like this. If I can tolerate it, I'll endure it. If I can't, get out."

There was a hint of accusation in Shen Huiming’s voice, “I haven’t said anything about you yet, if it wasn’t for you talking to Ranran on the phone, would she have had a car accident?”

A trace of pain flashed in He Ying's eyes, and her voice became sharp. "Are you blaming me? You have been indifferent to Ranran for so many years, and now you have the nerve to blame me."

Shen Xinran heard a quarrel in his daze, and the voice was particularly familiar.

When she struggled to open her eyes, she found herself lying on a hospital bed, and the quarreling sounds came from her parents.

She frowned and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Mom and Dad, stop arguing."

As soon as He Ying finished speaking, she heard her daughter's voice, and her eyes immediately became moist, "Ranran, you finally woke up."

Shen Huiming immediately put out the cigarette in his hand, walked up to Shen Xinran, tears in his eyes, "Ranran, if you don't wake up, your parents will really be worried crazy."

Only then did Shen Xinran notice that both He Ying and Shen Huiming had some white hair on their heads and a trace of vicissitudes on their faces. They were completely different from the parents she remembered.

An inexplicable sadness welled up in Shen Xinran's heart. She silently asked the system in her heart: "Tongzi, why am I back?"

The system's voice rang out in her consciousness: "Host, this is the twelfth small world you have experienced, and it is also the last small world. You need to play the role of yourself."

Shen Xinran frowned slightly, "What is the plot of this world? What tasks do I need to complete?"

The system's voice was calm and mechanical: "Congratulations, host, your mission has been completed. Therefore, in this world, you can do whatever you want."

Shen Xinran's brows furrowed even tighter. "Mission completed? What does that mean?"

However, the system no longer responded, as if it had never existed.

Shen Huiming noticed Shen Xinran's expression, and he asked softly: "Ranran, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

He Ying trotted all the way to the nurse's station and shouted anxiously, "Doctor, my daughter is awake. Please help her. She seems a little uncomfortable."

A doctor in a white coat walked into the ward. He briefly examined Shen Xinran's body, then said calmly, "Since you're awake, there's nothing serious. Stay in the hospital for observation for a while. If there are no problems, you can be discharged. Rest and recuperate in the next period of time."

He Ying sent the doctor away with a smile on her face. She thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, doctor."

Shen Xinran forced himself to sit up from the bed, "How long have I been unconscious?"

Shen Huiming was close, he quickly stepped forward, carefully supporting Shen Xinran, his voice filled with a hint of distress, "You've been in a coma since the car accident, and it's been almost a year now."

He Ying also stepped forward and asked Shen Xinran gently, "Ranran, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

After thinking for a moment, Shen Xinran said, "I want to eat sweet and sour spare ribs."

A smile immediately spread across He Ying's face. "Okay, Mom will arrange it right away and have it delivered to you."

At noon, He Ying and Shen Huiming accompanied Shen Xinran to eat in the ward. Surprisingly, there was no dispute between the two. They just helped Shen Xinran pick up food, and the atmosphere seemed unusually harmonious.

After dinner, both of them had to leave because of work.

He Ying gently stroked Shen Xinran's forehead and said softly, "Ranran, you should rest first. Mom is going to the hotel and will come to accompany you in the evening."

Shen Huiming also added: "Dad is going to take care of things on the construction site and will be back in the afternoon."

He Ying glared at Shen Huiming in dissatisfaction, "You are the only one who can do it."

Shen Huiming was not willing to be outdone and retorted: “You don’t have time yourself, and you don’t allow me to come earlier.”

Shen Xinran lay in bed, watching her parents bicker as they left, a smile forming in her eyes. It was great to see her parents again.

As the door of the ward closed gently, silence returned to the room.

Shen Xinran retracted her smile. She lay alone on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling, in a daze.

After a long while, she took out her phone and browsed the latest news:

my country's largest-diameter tunnel boring machine rolled off the production line, a celebrity's new drama became a huge success, and another rising star encountered a crisis on a reality show...

But for some reason, Shen Xinran always felt like something was missing in his heart.

She put down her phone and turned her gaze out the window, gazing at the blue sky, white clouds and the occasional birds flying by, a faint loneliness welling up in her heart.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the door of the ward was gently pushed open, and Chen Yajuan walked in carrying an insulated bucket.

Shen Xinran originally thought that it was Shen Huiming who came back, but when she turned around, she saw Chen Yajuan, Shen Huiming's current girlfriend.

As for why she is called a girlfriend instead of a wife, it is because Shen Huiming and He Ying had agreed when they divorced that they could find a partner, but their daughter must come first.

Therefore, whether it was Shen Huiming or He Ying, they both just found a partner and did not get a marriage certificate.

Chen Yajuan put the thermos in her hand on the cabinet and smiled at Shen Xinran, "Ranran, I heard from your dad that you woke up, so I quickly made some chicken soup and brought it to you."

Shen Xinran nodded and responded politely: "Thank you, Aunt Chen."

Chen Yajuan pulled a chair over and sat down, sighing softly, "I'm glad you're awake. You don't know how difficult it has been for your father recently."

Shen Xinran raised her eyebrows slightly, and she continued along with Chen Yajuan's words, "Oh, what's so difficult about it?"

Chen Yajuan wiped the corners of her eyes gently with her hands, her voice choked with sobs, "Your father is so busy at work every day, and he still has to take time out every day to come to the hospital to accompany you. His health is getting worse day by day. I see it with my own eyes, and it hurts my heart."

Shen Xinran listened to Chen Yajuan's words, feeling mixed emotions in his heart, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.

Her parents chose to divorce when she was in junior high school because of personality differences, and both of them found new partners.

At that time, they sat in front of her and promised that they would continue to love her as always even if they were separated.

He Ying's house was right next to her middle school, so she stayed with He Ying from Monday to Friday and with Shen Huiming on weekends.

At the beginning, Shen Xinran did not feel lost, but was happy that more people loved her.
