Lin Lu - a Kyoto University student with a promising future.
Song Chen - a military officer with a bright future.
Due to a life-saving grace, the two were forced to marry and have child...
Without bothering to knock politely, Lin Lu simply unlocked the door and pushed it open.
The moment the door opened, he and the three people lying inside looked at each other in surprise.
On the middle bed, Song Chen, with his head wrapped in a white bandage, was the most conspicuous.
Song Zidong and Zhao Xunyou quietly lowered their heads and hurriedly said, "Uncle, since Auntie is back, you two can chat first. Xunyou and I will go out for a walk."
"Song Zidong!" Song Chen growled.
"What did you call him for?"
He arrived exhausted, his hair a little disheveled, and his forehead covered in cold sweat from fear.
Lin Lu walked slowly closer and stared at Song Chen intently, examining him carefully from top to bottom.
Song Chen had a bandage on his head and several small wounds on his face.
Song Chen knew that it must be Song Zidong who told his wife about the matter.
If you continue pretending, you will only bring trouble upon yourself. The two guys have already quickly escaped from the ward.
Song Chen stretched out his hands and pursed his lips: "Wife, hug me, it hurts!"
Lin Lu's face was cold, tears welling up in her eyes. She patted the back of Song Chen's hand twice and said, "I thought you weren't in pain, but it still hurts."
Buzz!
Suddenly, Song Chen felt a strange sound in his ears. His hands froze in the air, his expression still aggrieved: "Didn't Song Zidong tell you that the man didn't want to live anymore and wanted to drag me down with him?"
Lin Lu: "I don't know. Didn't you tell him not to tell me?"
"Wife, please speak louder. I can't hear you clearly." Song Chen scratched his left ear.
I always feel something is wrong. Why do my wife's words become intermittent when they reach my ears?
Lin Lu hadn't noticed anything was wrong with him yet. She walked up to him and touched the gauze wrapped around his head. "Apart from this, where else are you injured?"
Song Chen put away his desire to act like a spoiled child and said to Lin Lu in a slightly more serious tone, "Lu Lu, say something to my left ear."
"What's wrong?"
Lin Lu suddenly remembered that his ear had been injured before, "Did your ear get hurt?"
She looked at Song Chen's ear anxiously, carefully examining the front and back, even the inside, but did not see any wound.
It might be caused by a head injury. Lin Lu made a quick decision: "You stay here first, I'll go call a doctor."
Song Chen nodded: "Okay, but don't be too anxious."
Lin Lu opened the door. Song Zidong and Zhao Xunyou were sitting on chairs at the door, talking with their heads down. When they heard the voice, they both turned their heads at the same time.
"Aunt, why did you come out? Do you need anything?"
"Sister Lu, tell us, let's go run errands."
Lin Lu felt the pain in his feet again, and knew that he needed to rest, so he didn't bother to be polite with them.
"Call a doctor for me."
"What's wrong with my uncle?" Song Zidong saw that her face looked a little strange.
Lin Lu: "Call the doctor first."
Seeing Lin Lu come back, Song Chen smiled at her reassuringly: "It won't be a big problem. Seeing you makes me feel better. If you don't believe me, talk to my ear. I can really hear it."
Lin Lu said nothing.
"Lulu, don't worry about me, I'll be fine."
After hearing his words, the tears that Lin Lu had been holding back all the way suddenly burst out like rain.
Before the doctor came, she didn't dare to make any movements towards his ears, for fear of accidentally aggravating the condition.
"You scared me."
"Does it hurt?"
Song Chen held her hand and tried to wipe away his tears. "Don't cry, it doesn't hurt at all."
"You're lying! If Zidong hadn't called me without telling you, you wouldn't have told me. You've never considered me a wife who can stand by you through thick and thin. You've only ever considered me your little pet."
I swear to God, Song Chen has no intention of keeping a pet.
"Who said that? Don't wrongly accuse me. I have treated you as my wife since we were young."
Lin Lu: “…”
He wiped away her tears, but Lin Lu's eyes were still wet as she stared at him nervously.
"Only Xiaobei and I know about your situation. I haven't told my parents, and I've already made arrangements for things over there."
Song Chen placed a warm kiss on the back of her hand and gently rubbed it: "My wife is really amazing. She can remain calm and composed even when faced with difficulties..."
Zhao Xunyou waited at the door until Song Zidong brought the doctor over before following him into the house.
"Uncle, the doctor is here. Are you still feeling unwell?"
Lin Lu stood up, made room for the doctor, and stood on the other side, interlocking his fingers with Song Chen's.
He said to the doctor: "Doctor, he can't hear clearly in his left ear. Could you please help check it?"
“!”
“!”
Song Zidong and the other man were not so calm.
The doctor gave Song Chen a quick checkup and didn't see anything serious. "We need an instrument to check it. Please wait a moment. A nurse will be here soon."
Regarding the brain nerves, he couldn't tell with just a flashlight; he needed advanced equipment to check.
While he was undergoing instrument examination, Lin Lu quickly called Lin Jingbei.
"Xiaobei, I'm at the hospital now. Your father hit his head and now has ear problems. He's undergoing further examination. I'm only telling you this to let you know the specifics. His mind is clear.
The worst-case scenario right now is that one ear becomes deaf, but the other still works, so it's not like I can't hear completely. And there's a cochlear implant out there that can help you hear again. We can handle the worst-case scenario, so don't worry too much. I'll let you know when the results are in."
Lin Jingbei was indeed relieved to hear that his father's head was not seriously injured.
When it comes to overall life safety, ear problems are the smallest.
"I understand, Mom. I will take good care of grandpa and grandma. You don't have to worry about things here. If necessary, I can also drag them to stay here for another week."
Lin Lu: "Then stay for another week, if possible."
Lin Jingbei: "Okay."
After the examination, Song Chen was pushed out. The results would not be available until tomorrow at the earliest.
Lin Lu chatted with the doctor for a few minutes, and the doctor gave her the same answer as she had just explained to Lin Jingbei, that at most she would lose the hearing in one ear, and there would be no problem with the entire brain nerves.
Lin Lu can afford this result.
Even if Song Chen doesn't accept, she can take him abroad to get a cochlear implant and treatment.
After Lin Lu came back, Song Zidong and the other man just stayed outside the ward.
Song Chen felt sorry for his wife: "You must be very tired tonight. Are your feet starting to hurt?"
Considering that she had been on a flight for more than two hours, and then rushed here without stopping after landing, and was busy in the hospital, her feet probably couldn't bear it.
Lin Lu: "It's okay, just soak it for a while."
"Let Song Zidong get you a basin of hot water. Soak your feet first, and then I'll take the medicine."
