Chapter 42

Shi Yu kept coughing and choking, but he didn't want Yun Lin'ai to hold him. He pushed Yun Lin'ai's hand away with a flushed face and said weakly, "I don't like you anymore."

Yun Lin'ai didn't tell Shi Yu that he had arranged for him to return to the south without his permission. He originally wanted to ask the secretary of the chairman of Jinhai Bay to pick him up, but who would have thought that the old man would come in person.

"Why, you didn't tell him I was coming to pick someone up?" Yun Zhi looked dissatisfied. "Look, you scared him."

Yun Lin'ai had no time to pay attention to the old man's unreasonable behavior. He was much stronger than Shi Yu. With a slight clench of his hands, he could half-lift Shi Yu and pat his back with his palms.

Shi Yu couldn't push her away, so he simply looked up at himself with red eyes, but he still felt a little angry after trying to hold it in: "I'm a doctor."

"Doctors must also take care of their own health." Yun Lin'ai told him concisely what the doctor said that day.

"I've consulted the Admiral and the Dean, and they both have no objections."

Shi Yu was choked and speechless, his eyes seemed to be red again, "I came here to find you..."

Yun Linai's heart skipped a beat, his lips slightly parted, and he almost let go.

Shi Yu's eyes were too bright. He couldn't bear to look at them anymore, so he raised his hand to cover them. His voice was hoarse and trembling, "I'm sorry..."

"I hope you're healthy, Hour."

Once Yun Lin'ai made a decision, he would easily change it, and Shi Yu had no room for maneuver, especially when it came to a threat to his own health.

Thinking that she wouldn't be able to see her Omega for a long time, Yun Linai couldn't help but lower her head and kiss him, "You can hate me if you want, but don't ignore me."

Yun Lin'ai rubbed the other person's slightly turned-down lips with his thumb and rubbed his face softly. Seeing that the other person still didn't speak, but just looked at him with red eyes.

Shi Yu heard Alpha sigh, and then felt his head tapped, "Pay attention to me."

"I'm not ignoring you." Shi Yu bit his lips lightly, and a moment later someone pressed against his lips with a finger.

Yun Linai said, "The finishing work is already underway here. I'll be back soon."

"How long is soon?"

"Less than a year." Yun Lin'ai saw Shi Yu's skeptical look and said, "That's what I said."

Finally, under Yun Lin'ai's coaxing, Shi Yu agreed to go back to the south with the old man to be hospitalized for treatment.

But without Yun Lin'ai's company, he couldn't feel at ease.

Shi Yu even wrapped the flowers Lu Yichuan sent him before leaving. Although the pungent fragrance had dissipated and the flowers had become dried, Yun Linai had some opinions on this, "Why bring flowers with you when they're already dried?"

Shi Yu said, "It's a sentiment from the heart, not a withered flower."

The Omega was discharged from the hospital before he fully recovered. His pale face had a transparent tint, and his drooping eyelashes trembled slightly. Yun Lin'ai stood by his side, watching him, and took note of it for many years.

The business car sent by Yunzhi was very spacious, and Yunlin'ai prepared everything for Shi Yu, even a lot of oxygen cylinders, for fear that people would have accidents on the road.

After everyone around got on the bus, Shi Yu was still standing beside Yun Lin'ai. It was windy outside, so he was still covered with Yun Lin'ai's thick coat.

"We'll be in the car in a while." Shi Yu wanted to take it off and return it to him, but someone held his hand.

"Put it on."

Yun Lin'ai was very close to Shi Yu, but because she had been in the hospital for the past two days, she could no longer smell the apple scent on his hair.

"Go back to my room at the manor."

Shi Yu made some nasal sounds, "What if I don't stay?"

Yun Linai chuckled and said, "Then I'll call the housekeeper and tell him not to clean your room."

Shi Yu pinched the back of Yun Lin'ai's hand, and then it was held tightly again.

Yun Lin'ai's voice was a little dissipated in the wind, but Shi Yu heard it clearly, "If you want, I'll take you with me to pick up our daughter."

Shi Yu's breathing stagnated and he trembled when he exhaled.

"How do you know..."

"I've been to Beidao?" Yun Linai finished for him. "Master Bai didn't tell me everything, including..."

He paused after saying this, "He just said that I paid back the money you owed me."

Yun Lin'ai spoke every word carefully, for fear of causing Shi Yu sadness again. He even thought about his daughter's matter for many days before speaking out.

"Then you are my biggest creditor now." The Omega's face was still very pale, with medical tape on his hands, and the healed areas were all marked with injections.

Shi Yu deliberately avoided the topic of children. He didn't want Yun Lin'ai to be sad for too long, so he pretended nothing had happened, while also tacitly agreeing with Yun Lin'ai's suggestion.

He is not the only one who wants a child, Yun Lin'ai feels the same way.

"Shi Xiao!" Shi Yu saw Ping Fang, with whom he had gotten along very well in the past two years, rushing over.

He has been busy treating patients after the flood recently. Knowing that Shi Yu was going home, he asked the dean for an hour's leave to see him off.

Before Shi Yu could say anything, a box of fruit was stuffed into his hand.

"I just knew you were leaving. Here! Eat on the way."

There was a big box full of cut fruits, all of which were Shi Yu’s favorites.

"Thank you. I'll treat you to a meal after this mission."

Ping Fang waved her hand generously, "It's a small matter!"

After chatting with Shi Yu for a while, Ping Fang kept track of the time, fearing that her one-hour vacation would be over and she would not be able to get back to the hospital.

"In short, I will make sure someone watches him for you and doesn't give him the chance to get close to the Omega!" Ping Fang pointed to Yun Lin'ai who was on the phone not far away so as not to disturb their conversation.

Once Shi Yu looked at him, he couldn't take his eyes off him. Yun Lin'ai had deep brow bones and his lowered eyebrows were as cold as ever. Only when he looked at himself did he reveal a bit of softness.

Shi Yu watched for a while and chuckled. Seeing the other person's gaze, he raised an eyebrow and said to Ping Fang, "Okay."

Yun Linai had no idea what the two were talking about, but they were so happy. Lu Yichuan drove up to pick him up, the SUV gliding gracefully into view. Knowing he would be a while longer, the other party was so considerate as not to get out of the car to urge him on.

"Get in the car, it's windy outside." Yun Lin'ai left his coat to Shi Yu and opened the car door for him.

Yun Zhi saw all of this. He was a little surprised that his grandson, such a proud man, would one day fall into the hands of an Omega and do it willingly.

The two looked at each other through the car door. Yun Zhi was too old to bear the sight.

After the car had gone far away, he comforted Shi Yu: "Don't worry, Yunlin Ai knows his limits."

"However, this is the first time I've seen him like this. He's... a tough kid on the outside, but a softie on the inside. He'll pay double back to those who treat him badly, but he'll give even more to those who treat him well."

"For you, I care even more."

Yun Lin'ai's figure was no longer visible outside the window. Shi Yu turned around and said, "I know he has always been a very good person."

A person who had a clear distinction between love and hate and lived so freely was trapped for six years because of him.

Shi Yu always blames himself for bad things. It's a disease, but he can't control it.

The two-hour journey to the airport had already made him a little carsick, so his assistant considerately took out the water bottle prepared by Yun Lin'ai and gave it to him in the waiting room.

"Thank you." Shi Yu took it after a pause.

"You're welcome. Young Master Yun specifically instructed me to do that." The assistant smiled at him.

Shi Yu sighed in his heart and turned to look at the runway outside the window. It had only been a few hours and he started to miss him.

Five hours was too long. Yun Zhi was so tired from running back and forth that he fell asleep. Only Shi Yu could hear the roaring sound even with earplugs, which gave him a headache.

In addition, my body had not fully recovered, and I lay there stiffly, afraid that I would vomit if I moved.

It wasn't until the plane began to land and taxi that Yun Zhi noticed his discomfort. He then touched his back and found it was completely wet. Terrified, he sent Shi Yu to the VIP ward of the Southern General Hospital that night, with someone constantly guarding him.

Shi Yu felt a little uncomfortable seeing strangers. Yun Zhi thought about it all night and, after asking for Shi Yu's advice, agreed to let his mother Ye Zhihua visit her.

"Mother." Shi Yu lowered his eyes and called Ye Zhihua.

Ye Zhihua looked at him with red eyes, and only knew how to scold him: "You still remember that I am your mother!"

"You haven't been home for six years. Are you so afraid of me?" Ye Zhihua could never have imagined that the son he had taught for decades would become like this. Not only did he not tell him where he was, he also deliberately cut off contact and prevented him from knowing any news about him.

Shi Yu was still receiving an IV drip and didn't know how to answer her question. Did he really do something wrong?

"I asked you to come and see him only because you are his mother, not to criticize him without knowing right from wrong." Even though Yun Zhi was leaning on a cane, the chairman's authority was still resounding.

He looked at Ye Zhihua coldly, "Boss Ye, it's not easy for you to sit in this position. Do you usually scold your employees like this?"

Ye Zhihua's face turned ugly for a moment, her fingers trembled, but Shi Yu held her hand. The hand was very cold, and she felt embarrassed and regretful in an instant.

"I'm sorry...I..."

Ye Zhihua wanted to say that she didn't mean it, but Shi Yu comforted her first, "Mom, go back and have a rest. It's been a hard day's work."

"It's not that I'm afraid of you, it's that I don't know how to communicate with you."

Ye Zhihua raised his head, his eyes struggling with something. The emotions in them were too complicated. Shi Yu couldn't understand it and didn't want to figure it out.

He pursed his dry lips and said, "I'm fine now, but I might be a little sick... Don't be sad if my answer is not good."

After hearing this, Ye Zhihua finally broke down and cried. Shi Yu became even more flustered and didn't know how to comfort her. He looked at Yun Zhi in panic, his eyes full of helplessness.

The hand holding the IV drip tried to support her, but the hand wasn't long enough and blood came back into the needle.

Yun Zhi sighed and quickly called the doctor over. He didn't want to wait for Yun Lin'ai to come back and use those eyes to kill people again.

Ye Zhihua was persuaded to go back by the chairman's secretary, and the surroundings became quiet. Shi Yu leaned tiredly on the bed. Since he had to consult with several doctors of different specialties early the next morning, he took sleeping pills to help him sleep tonight with the doctor's permission.

However, the effect seemed to be minimal. The room was too large and empty, and he found it difficult to fall asleep completely.

The mobile phone next to his pillow was connected by Yun Lin'ai to the western region's dedicated communication signal, and he received no reply to the several messages he sent to Yun Lin'ai.

Shi Yu was still worried, so he kept waiting.

The message was sent in the early morning. He had turned his phone to silent mode, but he was not sleeping deeply and was still awakened by the bright light beside him.

The first one to show off: just finished the mission.

The first place to show off: Good night.

The other party seemed to have something to say, but for fear of waking Shi Yu up, he sent a short message after a long time. Shi Yu looked at the time and did not reply.

The next morning, Yun Linai was on a sudden and urgent mission and was ready to leave. Before handing in his phone, he glanced at the message from Shi Yu.

Rebellious Cat: Good morning.

Rebellious Cat: I need to consult with the doctor, and the examination report will be sent to you as soon as possible.

Yun Lin'ai frowned, replied "OK", and turned off the phone.
