That night, Ning Wan stayed with Ning Yanshu in the hospital room.
Aman took a blanket and slept in the corridor outside the ward.
Ning You was worried and wanted to stay with Lu Chen while they waited for the blood test results.
But Lu Chen disagreed: "At a time like this, if even you get sick, it will only make things worse and cause trouble for everyone."
Lu Chen was always like that, able to accurately guess Ning You's thoughts with just a few words.
What she fears most now is that she won't be able to help at all and will only cause more trouble.
After speaking, Lu Chen touched Ning You's cheek and comforted her, "Go back to Ning Wan's house to rest first. When you come back tomorrow, bring them a few more sets of clothes and toiletries."
Ning You thought for a moment and nodded.
This is indeed the only thing she can do to help right now.
Should I have the driver take you home first?
"Okay." Ning You nodded. "I'll come earlier tomorrow morning and prepare some breakfast...you..."
After hesitating for a while, Ning You couldn't help but ask with concern, "You should also take care of yourself and get some rest. If you really can't, just take a nap. Wait until the doctor comes to work tomorrow."
A faint smile appeared on Lu Chen's lips.
He spoke, his voice brimming with obvious gentleness: "I understand~"
...
After Ningyou left, the hospital was eerily quiet late at night.
The lights in the hospital lobby were on all night.
But Lu Chen quietly chose a deserted corner and dissolved his entire body into the darkness.
The clock on the wall ticked away.
Time seemed to drag on endlessly at that moment.
The night grew deeper and deeper.
But on such a quiet night, how many people truly have the will to sleep?
...
The next morning.
As dawn broke on the horizon, Ning You arrived at the hospital with a heavy heart.
I searched for a long time in the laboratory hall without success.
Finally, she found Lu Chen asleep in a corner of the corridor.
Lu Chen sat quietly in the chair with his arms crossed.
Because he was asleep, his body was not upright, and his head was slightly tilted.
After a whole night of fussing, his suit and shirt were wrinkled beyond recognition.
His face showed signs of listlessness and undeniable fatigue.
This side of Lu Chen is very different from his usual clean and tidy, and always serious self.
But Ning You felt that this made him even more approachable.
Lu Chen was a light sleeper and woke up when he heard footsteps.
He opened his eyes, saw the person in front of him, and sighed, "...Youyou."
Ning You sat quietly beside him: "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
She unconsciously softened her voice, as if afraid of disturbing him.
Lu Chen turned to the side and pulled Ning You into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder: "I was afraid of missing the time when the order came out."
"Why are you here so early?..." Suddenly, Lu Chen noticed something was wrong with Ning You: "What's wrong?"
Seeing Ning You's somber face and haggard appearance, Lu Chen couldn't help but ask with concern, "Did something happen?"
Ning You shook her head, looking preoccupied.
But she managed a smile and asked him, "Would you like some porridge? But just so you know, it was cooked by our neighbor, Sister Xu, not me."
She had planned to make porridge that morning.
But let's leave aside the question of how much rice and water to add for now.
She struggled even with just the step of washing the rice.
When washing rice and emptying the rice water, Ning Wan would pour the rice down the drain along with the rice.
After finally getting the porridge cooked in the rice cooker, I guess I'll have to stir-fry some vegetables next.
Ke Ningyou had no experience.
The oil was still hot in the pan when the dripping vegetables were poured in.
The kitchen almost caught fire.
Because the noise was so loud that it disturbed the neighbors, Xu Xiufeng knocked on the door to inquire.
Upon learning that Ning Yanshu was sick and hospitalized, Xu Xiufeng was no less worried than Ning You.
She helped prepare breakfast and then came to the hospital with Ningyou.
"Sister Xu brought food to Wanwan and the others, so I came over to check on things."
Lu Chen pulled Ning You's hand over and examined it carefully.
Sure enough, several blisters were found on her fair and clean little hands.
"Don't cook anymore."
"Huh? Why?" Ning You asked, puzzled.
"For the good of the kitchen."
Ning You: "...?"
Lu Chen stood up from the chair.
He took a few heavy breaths and planned to go to the bathroom to wash his face.
Let your brain clear up.
Just as Lu Chen was about to leave, a doctor wearing a white coat and a mask walked out of the laboratory.
The doctor, holding a report in his hand, shouted, "Who is Ning Yanshu's family member?"
Lu Chen's expression immediately turned serious.
But Ning You, who was behind him, froze upon hearing those three words.
His face had lost all color.
His entire face was deathly pale...
...
The hospital's inpatient department.
Inside the ward, Ning Wan was feeding Ning Yanshu breakfast.
After only a few bites, Ning Yanshu shook his head and said he was full.
Ning Wan didn't dare to feed them too much and quickly put them away.
Seeing this, Xu Xiufeng took a clean bowl and filled it with another portion: "Yanshu's mother, you should eat something too. You need to eat to have the strength to take care of the children. I'll watch over Yanshu for you for now."
Ning Wan did not refuse.
She took the remaining food to the corridor and wanted to have a quick bite with Aman.
But outside the corridor, Ah Man, who had been keeping watch all night, finally fell asleep just as dawn was breaking.
