When Wen Chi hurried back to the hospital, his elder brother Chu Yan had not returned yet.
However, his father Wen Yu rushed over as soon as he received the news that his son had woken up.
So there were only the father and son in the ward.
My grandparents and uncle were there yesterday, barely acting as a buffer.
Today, only Wen Chi and Wen Yu were left staring at each other, the atmosphere was indescribably awkward.
"Where did you go?"
"Something."
"How's your brother doing?"
"It looks good."
“…”
One asked coldly.
One answer was distant.
Sitting here, they don't look like father and son, but more like strangers who just met and are forced to have an awkward conversation.
The two of them quickly fell silent and sat in a corner of the ward, having long been accustomed to this state of strangeness and distance.
Pretending to be familiar will only make things awkward.
Fortunately, Chu Yan was quickly sent back by the nurse.
There were five or six people accompanying them, including Chu Yan's attending physician, who occupied half of the ward. Holding the freshly-made physical examination report, they excitedly shared Chu Yan's miraculous recovery speed with Wen Yu and Wen Chi's family members.
"Unfortunately, we didn't find anything special in the patient's body. We still don't know which drug played a key role. This may be attributed to the patient's strong will to survive..."
Dr. Hao spoke eloquently, feeling a little regretful but full of admiration for Chu Yan.
Doctors save lives and fight against death every day, so naturally they prefer patients who respect life and have strong wills!
After listening to the good news delivered by Dr. Hao, the expressions on the faces of Wen Yu and Wen Chi became noticeably more relaxed.
Even someone as quiet and reserved as Wen Yu said "thank you" three times to the doctors.
Wen Chi also expressed his gratitude.
But for some reason, his mind wandered, and he couldn't help but think of Sui Sui who had just appeared in the ward opposite...
Really, what was he thinking?
Could it be that the recovery of eldest brother’s injury is related to Sui Sui?
Wen Chi laughed at himself and sorted out his chaotic thoughts.
Continue to communicate with your doctor about the next treatment plan.
In addition, Chu Yan also asked about the injury condition of the driver who was in the car accident with him.
It was later learned that Chu Yan's injuries were much more serious because the truck hit him from the right side.
The driver only suffered minor collision injuries and concussion. He is currently in hospital for treatment and is expected to be discharged in a few days.
Chu Yan smiled thankfully.
More than ten minutes passed before Dr. Hao and the others were able to escape from the questions coming from all directions.
The ward returned to its cold and quiet state.
Wen Yu raised his hand to look at his watch:
"I have a meeting, so I'll leave first."
Chu Yan and Wen Chi both looked calm, as they were used to their father Wen Yu's workaholic nature.
After Wen Yu left, Wen Chi actually breathed a sigh of relief.
This tiny movement was noticed by Chu Yan.
Chu Yan leaned against the backrest, his brows and eyes calm and still:
"Xiao Chi, you still... "
As soon as these words came out, Wen Chi immediately tensed up his back! Subconsciously defending himself!
Chu Yan, who was as meticulous as he was, naturally noticed it and changed the subject:
"...Forget it. What right do I have to ask you?"
Younger brother Wen Chi has some complaints about his father Wen Yu.
And isn't he the same?
The peace of this family has always been maintained with great effort.
"By the way, I have something to tell you."
When Chu Yan mentioned the driver just now, he couldn't help but think of the call he wanted to make to his younger brother Wen Chi before the car accident.
Chu Yan took a deep breath.
Then, word by word, with difficulty in his articulation, he said:
"sorry."
Chu Yan rarely uses these three words in his life.
This was probably the first time that Wen Chi heard his perfect, excellent and outstanding elder brother apologize to someone.
And this person turned out to be himself!
After a brief moment of shock, Wen Chi became a little flustered:
"What is there to apologize for? Big Brother has never done anything wrong."
This is Wen Chi's true words——
Even if his elder brother had resisted, disliked, and alienated him...it didn't matter.
That's what he should bear.
Chu Yan smiled and shook his head:
"Who never makes mistakes? If they're wrong, they're wrong. It was only when I was chatting with someone that I suddenly realized I was being too forceful. Sometimes, even though I clearly want to care, my words always come out as accusations."
This is a bit difficult to say.
It had been a long time since Chu Yan had a calm and heart-to-heart chat with anyone.
But the beginning is always the hardest part. Once the conversation starts, the following words will not be forced:
"I want you to quit the entertainment industry, but I'm not forcing you to do things my way. I know you don't really like that place. You went to the talent show in the first place out of spite, and secondly because..."
Chu Yan paused subconsciously, and finally continued,
"It's to... make more people like you, and let more people see you."
Among these many people, naturally, is their mother Chu Yunling.
No one in the family believed that Chu Yunling was no longer alive.
They firmly and stubbornly believed that Chu Yunling was just missing and could not go home due to certain factors, but she was living well somewhere in the world.
Wen Chi became a household name just to let Chu Yunling see it, to let her mother know that her family was still waiting for her...
——Perhaps even Wen Chi himself was not aware of these obscure young people’s thoughts.
Chu Yan, however, saw it clearly.
Wen Chi couldn't explain what he was feeling at the moment.
I was touched by my family's understanding and relieved of my own paranoia.
Wen Chi lowered his head to hide his red eyes:
"I thought it was too simple..."
He couldn't help but wonder, if his mother saw the news about him and all the rumors and negative information, would she misunderstand him as a bad boy?
Yet, he actually took a passive attitude and even wanted to bear the stigma and end it all...
For the first time, Wen Chi felt ashamed of his thoughts of committing suicide.
Chu Yan looked at him quietly.
Perhaps as an older brother, I cannot fully understand my younger brother's thoughts.
But Chu Yan hopes that he can be his brother's support when he is most vulnerable.
"Xiao Chi, these are not things you should bear. You should live well and pursue your true dream."
This is the real purpose of Chu Yan's words.
Some things should have been let go long ago.
Wen Chi suddenly raised his hands to cover his face, his voice choked with sobs:
"No, brother, you're right. I do have problems. I've been playing sloppy even since I entered the entertainment industry! I've wasted my life and the love my fans have for me! I've never been too lazy to learn or hone my abilities... Those netizens are right! I'm just a worthless piece of shit!"
Chu Yan sighed:
“…There’s no need to scold yourself so harshly.”
Wen Chi shook his head vigorously:
"No, I should have been scolded and woken up long ago! Don't worry, big brother, I will think carefully about the future!"
Chu Yan was both relieved and moved, and was about to say something.
Wen Chi stood up:
"I, I'm going out for a while."
Chu Yan raised his eyebrows:
"It's just like before. I have to hide and cry secretly."
Just as he thought.
As soon as Wen Chi walked out of the ward, tears rolled down his face.
