When Lin Ze woke up, the sunlight was shining warmly on the bed through the window, but the light was really dazzling, and he subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to block it.
"Don't move"
Lu Zixiao gently grabbed his hand and said softly, "Close your eyes first. I'll go draw the curtains."
Lin Ze didn't move anymore, nor did he close his eyes, but his gaze was always on him, and he was reluctant to look away for a long time.
"Are you thirsty?" Lu Zixiao looked at him tenderly, "Would you like some water?"
Lin Ze nodded slightly and drank a few sips of warm water with Lu Zixiao's hand.
After a violent cough, my throat was always a little uncomfortable, and it gradually eased after being moistened with water.
Lin Ze stretched out the hand that was not receiving the injection and subconsciously held Lu Zixiao's hand. As expected, it was cold.
"Baby, have you been here with me all night?" Lin Ze asked in a hoarse voice.
Lu Zixiao snorted and murmured, "If I had known that you would be unconscious for such a long time, I would not have waited there like an idiot."
Lu Ziyi, who just walked in through the door: "?"
"Brother, I remember I told you that he would be in a coma for a while." Lu Ziyi said helplessly, "Although I'm just an intern, you can't suddenly let me neglect my duties."
Lu Zixiao turned his head away awkwardly and said quickly, "Um... you should check on him first. Do I need to leave?"
"No need," Lu Ziyi chuckled. "If you leave, who can I tell about his condition? Right, his family?"
Lu Zixiao's ears turned red, he raised his hand and patted him, urging: "Stop joking, hurry up"
Lin Ze, lying on the bed, looked at Lu Zixiao with a smile on his face. He felt happy in his heart. The more he looked, the happier he felt.
Lu Ziyi examined him as usual, and then said to Lu Zixiao, "There's nothing serious wrong with your lungs, but you still need an injection. After the rounds, I'll tell the attending physician to let Lin Ze stay in the hospital for two more days and wait until he's fully recovered before leaving."
"Okay," Lu Zixiao replied, "I'll listen to you."
"Doctor Lu, can I eat now?" Lin Ze blinked and asked, "I didn't eat last night, I'm hungry."
"You can eat something light and easily digestible," Lu Ziyi said, "porridge and wontons are fine."
"Then I'll buy it for him..."
“No need to buy it”
As soon as Lu Zixiao spoke, Lin's father and mother appeared at the door of the ward, holding a lot of things in their hands.
"Uncle and aunt are here," Lu Ziyi bowed politely, "Then you guys chat first, just call me if you need anything."
Mother Lin's face was exhausted, her eyes were a little red and swollen, she forced a smile and nodded, "Thank you, Ziyi, for your trouble."
"It's okay," Lu Ziyi said with a smile, "We're family, so we don't have to talk behind each other's backs."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out, but the meaning of his words was self-evident.
Father Lin frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his leg and walked towards Lin Ze's bed without saying a word.
"Uncle..." Lu Zixiao stood in front of him as if by reflex, "Have you... calmed down?"
When Father Lin saw him looking as if he was facing a great enemy, he immediately understood that these two people were more protective of their food than the other, and they were eager to step forward to prevent the other from getting hurt.
"Am I some three-haired beast?" Father Lin asked solemnly, "Why should you all be so wary of me?"
"No, uncle," Lu Zixiao said, feeling somewhat bewildered, explaining with difficulty, "I was mainly worried that you were still angry. After all, Lin Ze couldn't stand it anymore..."
Father Lin raised his eyebrows and asked, "What if I give you a hard time?"
"That won't do! Cough cough cough..." Lin Ze was shocked and immediately wanted to get up anxiously. However, he started coughing non-stop as soon as he shouted, which scared Lu Zixiao.
"What are you doing?" Lu Zixiao hurriedly held him down. "Didn't I tell you not to move? Uncle won't do anything to me!"
"What if he gives you a stool too?"
The panic in Lin Ze's eyes was about to overflow. He turned around and glared at his father: "Old Lin, you can hit me all you want if you are angry, but Zixiao is my lover. If you dare to touch him, I will...we will sever our father-son relationship!"
"What nonsense!" Lu Zixiao was shocked, but it was too late for him to stop it.
"Fuck your grandma Lin Ze!" Lin's father's anger instantly ignited, "You dare to threaten your father now, right? Do you really think I won't dare to beat you just because you are lying in bed?"
"Ahem...keep hitting me until you've gotten your revenge!" Lin Ze held Lu Zixiao's hand tightly, looking fearless. "Dad, don't forget how you protected my mom when she faced my grandfather! If you can protect your lover, so can I!"
Father Lin choked, and the anger that was about to burst out was instantly extinguished by a basin of water. He snorted heavily and stopped talking.
"Come on, Lao Lin, have you forgotten what we said at home?" Lin's mother advised, "You really should change your bad temper. You cried in the middle of the night out of worry about your son, and now you're here and you're yelling at him again."
"Who was crying? I wasn't crying!" Father Lin argued loudly, "I was just angry!"
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is right." Lin's mother patted his shoulder and said, "Then I will tell them."
Lu Zixiao and Lin Ze looked at each other, both with confused expressions.
"We barely slept last night. We thought about it all night and decided..." Mother Lin paused and smiled, "I support you two being together."
"Ah?" They both widened their eyes at the same time.
"To be more precise, we don't plan to interfere with you anymore," Lin's mother said softly. "Happiness is the most important thing in a person's life, but it's also the hardest to achieve. We've thought about it for a long time. What's the purpose of introducing Lin Ze to someone? Isn't it just to let him get married and live a stable life? It doesn't matter who he's with. If we force him to marry someone he doesn't love, will he be happy? Definitely not."
