Chapter 39 Wake Up

Li Nuo found himself in a small courtyard with a large camphor tree and a lounge chair under the tree.

A little child was lying on the recliner, and a small yellow dog was curled up and sleeping next to the chair.

Is this a dream?

Li Nuo took a few steps closer, trying to see the child's face clearly, but the world spun around him and the courtyard in front of him disappeared.

His eyelids trembled slightly, but he couldn't open his eyes, as if he was suffering from sleep paralysis.

Only the faint light through my eyelids allowed me to realize that I was not dreaming.

This feeling of being restrained was so uncomfortable that he instinctively sought the light.

But he couldn't close his eyes no matter what he did, and Li Nuo felt a little discouraged.

"He should be in the hospital. I heard Mo Chuan's voice at the last moment. He was still conscious, so there's nothing wrong with him."

He thought it would be okay to just sleep like this.

However, someone was always talking in my ear.

"elder brother......"

The voice with an uneasy tone has been echoing since I became conscious.

The tone became heavier and heavier, almost like crying.

"elder brother."

Feeling that he couldn't let this person worry any longer, Li Nuo moved his eyelids with great effort and half-opened them.

A faint light shone into his eyes. When he felt it was too blinding and wanted to close them, someone helped him block out the light.

Because of the light behind him, Li Nuo couldn't see the expression on his face, but she could sense his surprise. She moved her lips but no sound came out.

"Brother, I'm here, I'm here..."

Li Nuo felt his hand being held. He tried his best to move his fingers, giving Li Yan a weak response.

The ward soon became lively. The nurses and doctors who were called in surrounded Li Nuo's bed. He Yan asked questions here and there, but Li Nuo was unable to respond quickly.

He Yan frowned. Fortunately, Li Nuo could hear the voice now and seemed to be a little more awake.

To help stabilize this situation, a lot of people are busy.

When Qin Xu and Mo Chuan arrived, the hospital was extremely busy. There was no room to step in the not-so-big single room, so they could only watch from a distance.

Qin Xu glanced at Li Yan who was also in the corner of the room.

Li Yan clenched his hands tightly, the veins on his hands were bulging, and it was obvious how much strength he used. He was looking at the bed with a worried look on his face.

"Secretary Li seems very nervous." Mo Chuan also glanced at Li Yan and said as he looked at his movements.

"As he should. He has always been like this."

Qin Xu knows Li Yan better. It has been like this for the past year since they met. He becomes flustered whenever anything involving Li Nuo comes up.

Qin Xu glanced at Li Nuo who had fallen asleep again, and felt a rare sense of regret in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would have done it more decisively to prevent the other party from having a chance to fight back.

After thinking for a while, Qin Xu's attention was diverted when he heard Mo Chuan's voice beside him.

"Are you sure everything is alright?"

Mo Chuan wanted to take a closer look, but he knew that he would only get in the way, so he didn't move. However, he still felt anxious about the delay in completing the inspection.

He Yan glanced at Mo Chuan and Qin Xu who was also concerned about him, then glanced at Li Yan who was looking at him, and smiled as if to reassure them, "It's a good result. He fell asleep now only because of the medication. He will be awake the next time he opens his eyes."

Li Yan looked at him with pleading eyes and finally felt relieved. He fell down on the sofa, buried his face in his hands, and took a deep breath.

Knowing how Li Yan had been spending the past few days, He Yan walked over and patted him on the shoulder gently, "Don't worry, he will get up soon. You have worked hard these days."

There is nothing else to say, just tell me the current situation, that is what Li Yan wants to hear.

After Li Yan got his assurance, he felt as if all his energy had been drained away and his shoulders slumped.

"After Li Yan wakes up, I will have a good talk with him. He has only been well for a month and he is in the hospital again. It is not good to treat the hospital as home."

He Yan shook his head and spoke words to calm his mood.

"Let's take this opportunity to keep him in the hospital to recuperate and wait for the next opportunity for surgery."

Li Yan smiled bitterly, "I'm sure you won't agree."

"Ha - don't consider his opinion at this time. Besides," He Yan looked at the guy in front of him with bloodshot eyes and a grown beard, "you look so decadent now. At least take care of yourself. You are not a machine."

"But....."

"Don't say but," He Yan slapped him hard on the back, making a loud noise.

"You should stop beating her in moderation. It might wake people up."

Looking at the person who was speaking, He Yan showed an expression that was hard to describe. "What are you doing here again? I asked you to help keep an eye on Li Yan, but you didn't do it. Where did you crawl in from?"

"I walked in with my feet."

Mo Chuan walked to the bed with his long legs and looked down at Li Nuo.

"This is no different from yesterday."

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense," He Yan also came over, "Now the pulse is very stable, and the test results are OK. He will wake up after a good sleep."

After setting up the machine, the nurses all left. Now the only sound in the ward is the beeping sound.

"Didn't I tell you not to get close to my children? You ignored my words."

Mo Chuan rolled his eyes and said, "You should go to your colleague to check your brain." He then asked curiously, "But, has it been postponed? When is the second surgery?"

He Yan sighed, "Yeah, we can't drag this sick body to undergo surgery. Its ability to recover is already very poor."

"How long will it take to recover?"

He Yan calculated, "Three weeks...at least."

Qin Xu also walked into the ward, pulled a chair and sat down, "Is there no treatment? Medication? Surgery? Or simply an organ transplant?"

"Li Nuo's situation is different. He is born weak. No matter how much artificial treatment he receives, it cannot be completely changed. We can only say that it can be improved. The secret is to take good care of himself."

Mo Chuan laughed: "It's not nice for a doctor to say that."

He Yan shrugged, "I am a pragmatic person."

He picked up a glass of water and handed it to Li Yan, "Take a sip. You look like someone who has been walking in the desert for several days."

"Hmm," Li Yan took the cup and drank it all in a few gulps.

Then, in less than a minute, he fell onto the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.

Mo Chuan and Qin Xuqi looked at He Yan.

He Yan helped him adjust his sleeping position and said, "Don't look at me like that. I just added a sleeping pill. If he doesn't rest, he will really die suddenly."

Mo Chuan clicked his tongue twice, "Doctor..."

He Yan returned to the bedside, checked on Li Nuo's condition, and pulled the quilt over him again.

"It's time for you to leave now."

"I'll wait a while before leaving. It's not even half an hour yet. It would be a shame to leave so early." Mo Chuan also pulled over a chair and sat down.

He Yan put away the flashlight in his hand, put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, stared at Mo Chuan, and then glanced at Qin Xu who was sitting on the chair without getting up.

"Why are you looking at me? Don't you have any other patients to take care of?"

“Because it’s kind of funny.”

"What's so funny?"

He Yan sighed in a leisurely tone: "It's very funny that Master Mo comes to visit every day."

What's so funny about this? Mo Chuan was too lazy to answer him and moved his chair closer to the bed.

Reach out your hand carefully.

He had wanted to touch Li Nuo before, but because Li Yan was watching him, he was stopped in less than a second.

His fingertips touched Linuo's forehead.

Slide your fingers along the beautiful lines and feel the soft skin.

But before he could touch her for a while, he was stopped again. He Yan grabbed his hand with an unhappy look on his face.

"Who do dirty hands touch?"

"That's too much! I washed my hands several times."

"Even that's dirty."

It's not so much that it's dirty, but rather that she hates him touching Li Nuo.

He Yan shook off Mo Chuan's arm and wiped his hands in disgust.

"elder brother."

"You can't even call me brother. Don't even think about touching me again."

"Oh, no, I just wanted to ask some questions."

He Yan glanced at him, "What?"

"You are very familiar with these two brothers, right? I want to know about Li Nuo's past." Mo Chuan said with a curious look on his face.

He Yan folded his arms and looked at him coldly: "Who are you to him? That's all you ask."

"Are you really interested in Linuo? Are you just joking?"

"What do you think?"

Mo Chuan threw the question back.

He Yan has been in the hospital for a long time and has seen all kinds of people. The men and women trapped in love are almost giving him PTSD.

He looked up and down at Mo Chuan several times, especially observing his eyes which were now staring at Li Nuo.

After a while, he sneered.

This guy is still confused in his own heart, but he comes to ask others?

"Don't play rhetorical questions with me here. Besides, what about things in the past? Haven't you investigated them?" He Yan didn't believe it.

"Besides, I told you not to touch it."

In just a moment, Mo Chuan had hooked his fingers on Li Nuo's hand, and the size difference was obvious.

With just a clenched fist, I could cover his entire little hand in my palm.

He Yan pinched a piece of skin on the back of his hand and pulled Mo Chuan's hand away.

"It hurts, it hurts," Mo Chuan blew out air, "Secretary Li also asked the question about interest. If it's not sincere, is it okay? I just did it because I wanted to do it. I didn't hurt him."

It's so casual.

He Yan complained in his heart, forget it, the young master has never experienced it, so he doesn’t understand.

"That's true, but it's not good for Linuo to do it without sincerity."

This guy is also guarding against himself.

Mo Chuan, who was playing with Li Nuo's little hands again, said jokingly: "When you first met Li Yan a year ago, you didn't say anything. Why are you so cautious when you are with Li Nuo?"

"Because Li Yan is very determined and won't waver easily, it's okay if we ignore him."

It is a fact that everyone recognizes that Li Yan's family life that fell apart in his youth made him mentally strong. It is difficult for people who have nothing to remain unmoved when they are tempted, but that is not the case with Li Yan.

Of course, his only weakness was also very obvious, after all, there was such a big living person sleeping there.

"Besides," He Yan turned his head to look at the sleeping Li Yan, "he is kind-hearted and would not hurt others."

"Haha, kind-hearted?" Mo Chuan recalled how ruthless Li Yan was when he went out to handle some shady business in the past, and felt that He Yan's filter was eight hundred meters thick.

"But Li Nuo is different. He is very sensitive, just like a piece of tofu. If you use too much force on him, he will break."

"I mean, if you want to get close to this kid, then you can get close to him. If you just want to play around, then stop immediately."

Mo Chuan shrugged, "You know me. I won't give up just because of your advice."

Yes, so I look forward to you falling down.

The ward fell into silence for a moment.
