Chapter 66
Just as Yin Mu cried out in pain, Zhong Mengyuan heard a sharp, high-pitched sound in her head. She instinctively raised her hands to cover her ears and turned to look at Yin Mu, who had a distorted expression on his face and reached out a hand toward her as if begging for help.
Zhong Mengyuan was terrified and subconsciously held her hand. It felt cold, like a piece of ice. She couldn't help but panic, her voice trembling uncontrollably: "Rabbit, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Don't scare me!"
She was so panicked that her mind went blank. She looked up and asked Zhou Jingyu, "What should I do?"
Zhou Jingyu had never seen such a situation before, and she had already lost her composure. She stood there at a loss, "How, how could this happen..."
Fortunately, the commotion on their side attracted the attention of the waiter, who came over quickly and immediately asked Zhou Jingyu to call the emergency number, while loudly asking in the store if there was a doctor.
Zhou Jingyu came to her senses after being reminded by the waiter and quickly reached for her cell phone.
Yin Mu lay in Zhong Mengyuan's arms, her heart feeling like it was being gripped by a giant hand, ripping it from her chest. She had no energy to think, and she couldn't scream. Beads of sweat began to form on her forehead. She could only stare with wide eyes, clutching Zhong Mengyuan's hand tightly, with such force that it seemed to crush her bones.
Zhong Mengyuan ignored the pain in her hand and kept calling Yin Mu's name to prevent her from losing consciousness.
Yin Mu also tried hard to stay awake, but the excruciating pain was too much for her to bear, and she finally fainted amid Zhong Mengyuan's anxious cries.
After an unknown amount of time, she slowly opened her eyes, only to be greeted by a snow-white ceiling. The scent of medicine filled her nose, telling her she was in a hospital bed. She tried to move her fingers, but they felt heavy and unable to move. Puzzled, she looked over and saw that it was Zhong Mengyuan who had fallen asleep beside the bed, and who had, by chance, fallen on her forearm.
Yin Mu didn't wake her up, but closed his eyes again, recalling the sharp pain he had felt in the restaurant. Strangely, despite the vivid and intense pain, she couldn't recall anything. Now, she didn't feel any discomfort anywhere in her body. It felt like that memory was false, like it was all just an illusion.
What's going on? What happened?
Just as Yin Mu was racking her brains, unable to figure it out, the door to the ward was gently pushed open. She turned her head and looked over, surprised: "Chen Qinglin?"
Seeing that she was awake, Chen Qinglin strode to the bedside, placed the cup of water in his hand on the bedside table, leaned down slightly, and said, "You're awake, how do you feel?"
"I'm fine, I'm doing fine." Yin Mu whispered, "Why are you here?"
Before Chen Qinglin could speak, Zhong Mengyuan woke up first. She straightened up and rubbed her eyes in a daze. Seeing Yin Mu looking at her with a smile, she immediately became excited: "You finally woke up! You scared me to death, you know!"
"Alright, alright, I'm fine now, aren't I?" Yin Mu said with a smile, "Why did you call Chen Qinglin over? Why would you make one more person worry?"
"I didn't call him." Zhong Mengyuan glanced at Chen Qinglin and explained, "After I sent you to the hospital yesterday, he called me. He heard you were in the hospital and rushed over. He even helped me keep watch over you for half the night."
"Ah?" Yin Mu looked at Chen Qinglin blankly, "Yesterday?"
Chen Qinglin nodded: "You were unconscious for a whole day."
“Is this true…?”
"Of course it's true. Would we team up to lie to you?" Zhong Mengyuan said to her, then asked with concern, "How do you feel now? Is there any pain anywhere?"
"It doesn't hurt, but I'm a little hungry." Yin Mu asked eagerly, "Is there anything to eat?"
Zhong Mengyuan immediately stood up: "I'll go buy it, what do you want to eat?"
"I'll go." Chen Qinglin stood up and said, "You stay with her, I'll go buy it."
Zhong Mengyuan hesitated for a moment: "Okay, thank you for your help."
Watching Chen Qinglin leave the ward, Zhong Mengyuan sighed: "It's good that you woke up. I was really scared by your appearance yesterday. I don't know where you got so much strength from. You squeezed my hand until it was blue and purple. It still hurts now."
Yin Mu held her hand, feeling distressed and guilty: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
"Okay, I'm glad you're okay."
"So what happened to me?" Yin Mu asked anxiously, "Is it a heart attack? That would be terrible."
"No." Zhong Mengyuan flatly denied, "The doctor said there's nothing wrong with you."
"No way." Yin Mu was half-believing and half-doubting, confused, "I've never felt such pain before. It hurts so much that my brain is numb. How can there be no problem?"
Zhong Mengyuan didn't seem to want to talk too much about it. He comforted her by saying, "It's really okay, don't be afraid." Then he changed the subject, "Do you want to stay in the hospital for another two days for observation, or be discharged directly?"
"Since you're fine, why bother observing? Just be discharged." Yin Mu said in a relaxed tone, "The smell in this hospital is too strong. It makes me uncomfortable."
"Okay, I'll go get you discharged later." Zhong Mengyuan said, pulling out his phone again. "I'll also tell Zhou Jingyu. She was pretty scared yesterday."
Yin Mu raised the corner of his mouth: "Okay, also apologize to her for me and say that I didn't mean to scare her."
Zhong Mengyuan typed quickly and shook his head helplessly.
Chen Qinglin drove here, and after Yin Mu's discharge procedures were completed, he also sent them home.
While chatting casually on the road, Yin Mu found out that Chen Qinglin called her yesterday to invite her to a wax figure exhibition. She said curiously, "Wax figure exhibition? It sounds interesting."
"Then do you want to go together?"
"Wait a few days." Yin Mu declined vaguely, "I don't want to go out for the time being."
"Well, you should get some rest first and take care of yourself." Chen Qinglin expressed his understanding. "It seems that this exhibition will last for more than ten days, and there will be many opportunities."
"……Um."
Zhong Mengyuan sat in the back seat, leaning her elbows on the edge of the car window, listening to the two of them talking, but she was unusually quiet and didn't say a word.
While in the hospital, she first sent a message to tell Zhou Jingyu that Yin Mu had woken up, and then edited a second message, saying: "Let's continue talking about yesterday's matter another day. We need to have a frank chat."
However, the first message went through smoothly, but the second message repeatedly failed to send and could not be sent at all. After trying several times without success, she sent another innocuous message, which also did not encounter any problems when it was sent. It was very strange.
Considering Yin Mu's sudden encounter, Zhong Mengyuan had a terrible suspicion. She couldn't reveal her and Yin Mu's secret to anyone else, or else it would backfire on Yin Mu. Her coma was a warning. Unfortunately, she couldn't verify this suspicion. Yin Mu's behavior yesterday was truly terrifying, and next time, it might be even worse. She didn't dare to take the risk.
Zhong Mengyuan was lost in thought. Yin Mu called her several times before she came back to her senses. She asked blankly, "What's wrong?"
"I was just about to ask you what's wrong with you." Yin Mu said puzzledly, "What are you thinking about? Your soul seems to be drifting away."
"Nothing." Zhong Mengyuan said nonchalantly, "I'm just thinking about what to eat tonight."
"How about grilled fish?" Yin Mu suggested enthusiastically, "The porridge I drank in the hospital was tasteless. My stomach was not satisfied at all. I want to eat something spicy."
Zhong Mengyuan agreed: "Okay, let's go eat grilled fish."
"Huh? Are you so easy to talk to today?"
"When have I ever been unable to speak?"
Yin Mu shrugged his nose: "It's hard to say."
Zhong Mengyuan smiled, didn't argue with her, and turned to look out the car window.
Yin Mu narrowed her eyes, feeling that Zhong Mengyuan was not in a good mood, but she couldn't put her finger on it. In front of Chen Qinglin, she couldn't ask in detail, so she thought she would wait until she got home to discuss it.
Chen Qinglin had some other things to deal with, so he sent them to the gate of the community and left.
Zhong Mengyuan remained silent all the way. When she got home, she didn't say anything. She took her pajamas and prepared to take a shower.
Yin Mu quickly called her: "Meng Yuan, wait a minute."
Zhong Mengyuan stopped and didn't turn around: "What for?"
Yin Mu became more and more certain that she was worried. He walked up to her and asked, "Why are you acting weird? What's wrong? Are you hiding something from me?"
Zhong Mengyuan avoided her gaze and didn't look her in the eye: "I'm fine, I've just been worried and scared all day, and I'm a little tired."
Yin Mu didn't believe it: "Really?"
"Really, really." Zhong Mengyuan replied perfunctorily, pushing her away. "I'm going to take a shower first. You rest for a while. We'll go out for grilled fish later."
"oh……"
Yin Mu watched Zhong Mengyuan disappear behind the bathroom door, scratched his hair in confusion, and said to himself: "There is a problem, a big problem."
Zhong Mengyuan leaned against the bathroom door, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness coming over her, and her fingers gripping her pajamas tightened unconsciously.
She stood alone for a long time, hurriedly took a shower, threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine, wiped her hair and walked out of the bathroom. She wanted to ask Yin Mu if he wanted to take a shower. When she walked over, she saw Yin Mu half lying on the sofa, one hand on his forehead, the other hand hanging naturally, and his mobile phone on his chest.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stepped forward, calling out, "Rabbit?"
"Hmm?" Yin Mu opened his eyes. "What?"
Zhong Mengyuan thought to himself that he was really too nervous. He calmed himself down and said, "It's okay. If you're tired, go back to your room and sleep."
Yin Mu sat up and yawned: "Forget it, I'd better sleep tonight. My sleep and rest schedule is getting disrupted."
"Yeah, that's fine."
Yin Mu sat cross-legged, looked up at Zhong Mengyuan, and asked, "I didn't have time to talk to Zhou Jingyu yesterday. When can we meet her again?"
"Let's wait and see." Zhong Mengyuan didn't want her to think too much, so she lied, "I asked her, and she said she had other things to do and would contact us when she was done."
"Okay." Yin Mu didn't suspect anything and sighed regretfully, "Why do things always go wrong?"
