Chapter 37 It was as if I had seen him a long time ago.
The call was disconnected.
Shen Jin's face turned ashen, as if his only lifeline had been snatched away. The phone fell limply from his hand with a "thud," and then everything went black as he collapsed to the ground, his body limp and powerless...
Time is passing by every minute and every second.
After Yan Yu fed Xie Li the medicine, he pulled the quilt up for him and said gently with a smile, "You should rest well after taking the medicine so that you can recover faster. Make sure you are covered up properly."
"I'm not a child anymore, why are you treating me like one?" Xie Li chuckled, snuggling her head into the soft pillow and pulling the blanket up to tuck her in, her eyes still full of smiles. "Are you going back to your room to sleep?"
He was a little worried that Yan Yu had left his room, yet he couldn't help wanting to go find Shen Jin...
“Unless it’s something really urgent, you shouldn’t go out tonight. It’s not safe.” He stared at him with his almond-shaped eyes, giving a casual smile. “Otherwise, I’ll start worrying again…”
Yan Yu was taken aback, then felt a sudden warmth in his heart. He smiled and pinched the boy's cheek, saying gently, "Don't worry, I won't go out tonight. How can I let Ali worry about me again? What if he gets sick again?"
Xie Li smiled brightly at him, looking somewhat innocent and carefree, and nuzzled against the soft pillow.
Because Xie Li was sick, Yan Yu stayed by his side for a while after feeding him medicine before returning to his own room. Xie Li seemed a little reluctant to leave, which made Yan Yu feel great, as he felt that their relationship had taken another step forward.
But somehow, Shen Jin's face and the phone call that had ended still flashed through his mind...
Yan Yu stared blankly for a while, then muttered to himself, "Nothing should happen..."
Based on Shen Jin's arrogant attitude last night, even if something really happened, he probably wouldn't have called him. So what was the meaning of that phone call not long ago?
After thinking it over, I rubbed my hand on my phone for a few moments, and then, almost as if possessed, I dialed the number.
A moment later, the phone rang, but no one answered.
Yan Yu chuckled, hung up immediately, tossed his phone aside, lay down on the soft bed, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "You really think you're something special..."
This was the first time in a row that he had called Shen Jin without getting an answer. It was absurd... In the past, who would have dared to do this if they were just playing around with him?
Therefore, he did not intend to pay any more attention to it.
At 8:30, Bai Yujin stayed at home and played with his younger sister Bai Mu for a while, but Shen Jin never came over, which puzzled him.
He pinched his sister's cheek and said with a smile, "When does your brother Chen Jin usually come over?"
“Seven o’clock, I guess,” the younger sister said with a smile. “He’s usually very punctual, and he’ll be back around nine or nine o’clock, but today is so strange. I haven’t seen him come over at all. He usually calls if he’s busy.”
Bai Yujin's hand, which was playing with the ball, froze for a moment. After catching the ball, he took out his phone from his pocket, quickly found a familiar name, and smiled: "Then I'll call him and ask. Maybe he really has run into some trouble."
After several unsuccessful attempts to call Shen Jin, Bai Yujin's expression finally turned grim.
Bai Mu, unaware of what had happened, was stunned to see her brother hang up the phone, grab a coat, and rush out the door. She exclaimed, "Brother, what are you doing? Didn't you say you were staying home today and not going back to your villa?"
"I'll be right back." Bai Yujin replied simply, then immediately drove out the door and sped off eastward.
When he arrived at Shen Jin's place and saw that it was completely dark inside, his heart sank. He quickly knocked on the door a few times and said, "Shen Jin? Are you home? If you are, please answer me!"
After calling several times without response, Bai Yujin had a bad feeling. She quickly dialed the landlord's number, went to get the key, and opened the door to go inside.
When he turned on the light using his phone's flashlight, he saw a person lying on the ground, drenched in sweat, as if pulled from water, trembling all over, their face ashen and lips purple...
Bai Yujin's face suddenly turned pale, and he cried out in a trembling voice, "Shen Jin!"
He rushed to Chen Jin and squatted down, ignoring the man's clothes soaked with cold sweat. He quickly grabbed a coat and draped it over him, then picked him up, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, we'll go to the hospital right away!"
Bai Yujin anxiously carried the lifeless person in his arms to the car, a chill running down his spine. Afraid that the person would be uneasy, he kept reassuring him, "It's okay, it's okay, it'll be fine in a bit, it'll be fine soon!"
But the person who had already fallen unconscious couldn't respond to him. He only felt some warmth on that cold, stiff body, a warmth that made Shen Jin want to cry...
As Bai Yujin put him in the car, he hurriedly called the hospital, made an appointment in advance, and drove to the hospital immediately, not daring to delay for a moment.
When they arrived at the hospital, and Shen Jin was taken to a ward for examination and put on an IV drip, Bai Yujin, who had been waiting anxiously outside, finally breathed a sigh of relief and staggered to sit down on the chair next to him.
He cupped his pale face in his hands and rubbed it hard a few times, then let out a soft breath: "You scared me to death..."
The doctor who was still standing beside him laughed and said, "Luckily, he was brought in in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. If he had remained unconscious, his life would have been in danger."
The doctor frowned again after speaking: "But if I may ask, did the patient suffer any serious injury when he was a child? Did it affect his head?"
Bai Yujin was taken aback: "What's wrong?"
He didn't know any of this, since Shen Jin had never told him. He only knew that he grew up in an orphanage and depended on his younger sister for survival, but he knew nothing else.
The doctor said, "During the examination, we found that he had suffered a traumatic brain injury, and his previous memories were suddenly interrupted. This high fever stimulated his brain and had some effect. There is hope for recovery in the future."
Bai Yujin was completely confused and couldn't understand what he was saying. He could only nod and thank him a few times before rushing into Shen Jin's ward, pulling up a chair and sitting down next to him.
He sighed softly, "How could I be so foolish?"
The person on the bed had a pale, bloodless face, sleeping peacefully. He had delicate, picturesque features, and long eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows on his eyelids. Below his straight nose were two thin lips, gently pursed together...
Bai Yujin paused slightly.
For a fleeting moment, he suddenly had the illusion that he had seen him a long, long time ago...
