Chapter 87

"Ling Yin." Qu Xing closed his eyes, tears still falling uncontrollably. Even though he had noticed it, he still asked softly, "Am I sick?"

Ling Yin's heart was pierced by his words. He held Qu Xing's face, wishing he could hold him in his arms: "It's okay, just treat the illness."

Qu Xing opened her eyes and looked at him, tears welling up in them. She looked at him wetly, "Have you felt it a long time ago? But why didn't I know what was wrong with me?"

Ling Yin shook his head: "It doesn't matter, let's not think about it for now."

"Why don't I know?" Qu Xing asked again anxiously, tears falling down her face. "What's wrong with me? Ling Yin, can you tell me? Do you know?"

"Maybe there's something wrong with your memory. It's okay, it's okay." Ling Yin wiped his tears gently and said, "Let's find a psychologist and sort it out slowly. I'll be with you."

"Yes." Qu Xing's eyes widened slightly, "I forgot a lot of things."

"I didn't even feel it." Qu Xing looked at him.

Once reminded, he clearly realized the chaotic state of things that should have been safely confined to the depths of his mind, and a wave of panic washed over him. The tears, which had paused for two seconds, began to fall again. Qu Xing's face was wet and mottled, and he looked extremely pitiful. "It was so obvious... and I... didn't realize it."

"I don't blame you, baby." Ling Yin was almost heartbroken. All she could do was kiss him: "It's okay, it will pass, take your time."

Qu Xing raised his hands and put them around Ling Yin's neck, buried his head in his shoulder, and sobbed, "I'm scared..."

"Yeah." Ling Yin supported Qu Xing's head and rubbed it: "I know, baby, I'm with you."

"You have to stay with me." Qu Xing said, "You can't leave... otherwise I will disappear."

"Okay." Ling Yin rubbed his face with hers: "I won't leave."

Qu Xing suddenly looked over Ling Yin's shoulder and saw his empty left hand.

"Where's my bracelet?!" He suddenly let go of Ling Yin, his eyes red: "Where is the one you gave me?"

"I took it off for you before the surgery, and it's still here." Ling Yin took his wrist and put it back, patting it soothingly: "It's not lost, don't be afraid."

But Qu Xing still raised his left hand to look. It felt a little too empty. As if he had lost something important, he stared blankly for a long time before a piece of memory finally emerged, complete and slowly returning to its place.

The bracelet given by my grandma.

"Have you put away the bracelet too?" Qu Xing asked.

Ling Yin was stunned.

He took the bracelet off and left it there a week ago, and he hadn't looked at it since. But from what he said, it sounded like he thought he had been wearing it all the time.

Ling Yin had always suspected that the bracelet was the birthday gift Xingxing had mentioned, hidden in the bookshelf by his grandmother. He'd been surprised to see Xingxing remove it and throw it away, and he'd even gone out of his way to save it for him. If he truly had forgotten it, then wouldn't that mean all his memories of his grandmother were blurred?

Ling Yin agreed with him and said, "Put it away as well."

Qu Xing hummed and closed his eyes.

Ling Yin stared at his wet eyelashes for a while, and suddenly saw Qu Xing open his eyes again. The sadness trembling in his eyes had calmed down. He smiled weakly: "You lied to me again, I just remembered that I took it off a long time ago."

Ling Yin looked at him speechless.

"But I forgot I took it away." Qu Xing asked again: "Did you put it away?"

Ling Yin said softly, "Put it away."

"Then you can keep it for me." Qu Xing looked at him: "I don't want it for the time being."

Ling Yin: “Yeah.”

"Drink some more water?" Ling Yin picked up the cup: "I only drank a few sips and you cried so much."

Qu Xing nodded. Ling Yin continued diligently, feeding him water in small sips. After drinking for a long time, it was estimated that he had only taken one sip in total.

"How long are you going to feed him?" Qu Xing asked, "Aren't you tired?"

Ling Yin: "I'm not tired. I have to listen to the doctor."

Qu Xing stared at him intently. Ling Yin lowered his eyelashes, filled the water container, and then lifted his eyelids slightly. He glanced at Qu Xing and then back at the spoon. His gaze followed the spoon to Qu Xing's wet lips before he said, "You can do nothing forever."

"And what did you do?" Qu Xing asked back, "Brush my teeth, bathe me, change my clothes, and give me water?"

Ling Yin chuckled: "Yeah, I even do your hair."

Qu Xing laughed: "You seem to be enjoying it."

"Really?" Ling Yin asked back, and after a pause, he said, "Just like raising a cat."

Ling Yin couldn't help but kiss him again and said, "You're still the most beautiful, the most fragrant, the most lovable kind of cat."

Qu Xing: "And he can speak human language."

Ling Yin burst into laughter.

"Yes." He agreed, "and can speak human language."

The door of the ward was pushed open.

They heard footsteps and looked towards the door. It was Meng Hui and her son. They had come here every day for the past two days. Because the hospital only allowed one person to stay as a caregiver, they had tacitly left this spot to Ling Yin.

Yu Dun had already prepared himself for Qu Xing to still have her eyes closed, but he didn't expect to meet her eyes. He was so moved that he almost cried again and ran to the bedside: "Xingxing!!"

Qu Xing felt an inexplicable irritation rising in his heart. The light that had gathered in his eyes quickly disappeared. He just glanced at him after yelling, "Why haven't you gone to school yet?"

"I..." Yu Dun didn't expect that his first sentence would be this: "Such a big thing has happened, so I must ask for leave!"

Meng Hui slapped Dun on the back of the neck and whispered, "Xingxing just woke up, why are you making such a loud noise?"

Qu Xing: “That’s right.”

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry." Although he didn't say it loudly, Yu Dun lowered his voice. He looked around, pulled out another stool for Meng Hui to sit on, and squatted down slightly. "I won't be louder. How do you feel now? Are you still uncomfortable?"

Qu Xing: "Not bad."

"What do you mean by 'okay'?" Yu Dun was dissatisfied: "Is it good or bad?"

Qu Xing was so annoyed that he wanted to tell him to get out. However, he also knew rationally that Yu Dun was just concerned about him and had come all this way. If he was kicked out by him, he would definitely be heartbroken. So he simply closed his eyes, turned his head towards Ling Yin, and said nothing.

Yu Dun was stunned.

Ling Yin explained gently for him, "He just woke up and hasn't recovered yet. The doctor doesn't want to ask too many questions."

"Oh oh oh oh." Yu Dun's tone softened unconsciously because of Ling Yin: "Okay, then I won't disturb him."

Meng Hui also asked Ling Yin softly: "Can he eat now?"

"I can eat a little." Ling Yin said, "It's okay, my mom will come and bring it to you later."

Meng Hui looked at Qu Xing. He had opened his eyes again, but they were like a shield, not listening to anyone, not wanting to react to the environment, his eyes darting around. Meng Hui knew Qu Xing's various little expressions too well and realized that he probably didn't want to see anyone at all.

I guess only his boyfriend can stay by his side.

Meng Hui stood up.

Yu Dun was stunned: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Meng Hui extended her hand towards Qu Xing: "Come here, baby."

Qu Xing raised his left hand and held hers.

"Get well soon." Meng Hui grabbed him and shook him. "Let's go."

Qu Xing nodded.

"What?" Yu Dun was stunned when Meng Hui picked him up. "Didn't we just get here?"

Qu Xing waved at him without any reluctance.

An hour later, An Yining also arrived, bringing some soup and porridge. Because Ling Yin had instructed her in advance, she simply put down her things, said a few words, and left.

Just when Qu Xing thought he could finally be quiet, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the door. He keenly caught Le Anyi's uneasy mumbling.

boom.

As if a fire signal had been ignited, Qu Xing suddenly became extremely irritable. The flood in his brain hadn't yet subsided, and he had no energy to accept any emotions or sounds from the outside world. He almost grabbed something and threw it at the door, but it took a lot of effort to restrain himself. He turned to Ling Yin and pleaded softly, "Brother, can you let them go?"

Ling Yin knew that those people would not come in. They did not have a visitor quota. He just told him to take a look at the door. But he did not explain and followed Qu Xing and said, "Okay."

Ling Yin turned on his phone: "I'll tell them."

"Shh, shh, shh." Jiang Lin saw the message sent by Ling Yin and pulled Le Anyi back to the wall from the door: "Be quiet, Ling Yin said Xingxing needs quiet now and doesn't want to see too many people."

"Oh." Le Anyi whispered, "He really woke up. I just saw him move."

"What?" Jiang Lin peeked through the crack in the door.

"Don't let Xingxing find out." He Weichen said, "Don't make him angry."

"Hey, hey, he's sitting up." Jiang Lin said in a breathy voice: "Oh my god, our baby Xingxing, this is so good."

He Weichen also slid over and peeked through the crack in the door. Blocked by Ling Yin's body, Qu Xing only revealed a small portion of his face. His hair wasn't as delicate as before, but it must have been a natural gift. Even with its messiness, it made him look a thousand times more handsome than the others. But there was a noticeable change in his aura; he seemed to have little strength, which was a bit disheartening.

"Have you finished looking? Brother Hui is urging us to go back to training." Le Anyi pulled He Weichen: "Let me take another look. I didn't see it clearly just now."

He Weichen was nearly pulled away by him and cursed angrily, "You've been looking for so long and still can't see clearly? Don't give up your eyes."

Le Anyi pushed him aside, took a cautious look, then quickly retracted his gaze and pushed the two of them away: "Xingxing is looking this way, hurry up and leave, don't make people angry."

They walked about ten steps away before they dared to speak loudly. He Weichen said, "You're so clumsy! It was you who got discovered just now because of your mumbling."

Le Anyi snorted, unable to refute.

"Nothing to say." He Weichen said: "Idiot."

Le Anyi raised his hand to pinch him: "He Weichen, can you shut your mouth? If you continue like this, I won't let you pick Xingxing up when she's discharged from the hospital."

"Heh." He Weichen said, "Who are you? If you say you won't let me go, then don't let me go."

Le Anyi: "I am the star's personal pistachio."

He Weichen: "Fuck you."

Le Anyi: “…”

"He Weichen, I'm going to tear your mouth apart sooner or later!!"
