Chapter 40 Comfort

The silence was soon broken.

He Yan pushed his glasses and said to Qin Xu, who had been silent, "What I just said also applies to you."

"So the fire has also burned me, huh?" Qin Xu walked to the bedside and lowered his head to look at Li Nuo's sleeping face. "I also thank you for your advice."

"It's not an exhortation, it's a warning. Speaking of your interests, can anyone bear it? Unlike Mo Chuan, you haven't even had anyone who is a little bit close to you, right? Will you be nice to others?"

He Yan looked disdainful.

"Don't worry about that," Qin Xu said calmly.

"Really? Can't you just let others live a good life? Do you two have so much free time? Didn't you say you were busy with the overseas branch?"

"How did you know? Did you arrange for an informant in the company?"

"Anyway, I just know it," He Yan checked the time. He had other patients and couldn't stay any longer. These two...

He thought about it and felt that it should be fine, so he said, "Okay, you two can stay here if you want. If the machine sounds any alarm, notify me immediately."

After saying that, he waved his hand and went out.

There were only two people sleeping and two people awake in the ward.

Qin Xu dragged over a chair and sat next to the bed.

Mo Chuan was very surprised and looked at him with questioning eyes.

"You heard me, didn't you? If you don't really mean it, don't pay attention to it."

"And you?"

Mo Chuan said as if it was a matter of course, "I think I am still somewhat sincere."

"Who said no?"

"......Are you serious?" Mo Chuan was full of doubt.

Qin Xu didn't answer, but squeezed Li Nuo's arm with his big hand, "It's so soft."

"Of course it's like this when you don't have muscles. No, don't change the subject. Are you serious? I thought you were interested in Secretary Li."

"Amnesia is real."

"You're still not going to answer, right? Why are you talking about this now? It's been more than a month." Mo Chuan said suspiciously.

Unlike Mo Chuan who believed Li Nuo when he had an allergy, Qin Xu observed for a long time, because no one knew when the patient would recover from this disease. If the patient did not say anything, no one would know, and there was a possibility that he would continue to pretend.

However, when I think back to those times we met, those smiling, clear eyes would make people smile unconsciously.

"Tsk tsk, what are you thinking about? Your facial expression has changed."

“Did your expression change?”

"What are you so surprised about? It's your face. When I saw that suit and sunglasses at your house, I thought you were crazy. You even had them altered for size."

Now the suit is still hanging in the most conspicuous place in the closet, together with a pile of custom-made suits, and the sunglasses are also kept safely in the storage box.

God knows how surprised he was when he saw it.

My jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Really......"

Recalling the scene when Li Nuo chose those two things for him, Qin Xu's eyes softened.

Mo Chuan's eyes widened as if he saw the sky collapse.

"For real......"

Li Nuo recovered quickly and took medicine on time. Li Yan would also often buy him some nutritious soups.

After recovering, Li Nuo went to the psychiatric department to see Dr. Zhou.

"Is everything okay lately?"

"Yes, thanks to the doctor."

"That's good. Have you thought of anything recently?"

Li Nuo hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "No."

"Do you have any old stuff, diaries, photos, etc?"

Li Nuo thought for a while and realized that he had never seen these things in his home. He guessed that they were left in his previous hometown?

But, I can't go back to that place now.

Even if you leave in a hurry, you shouldn't leave without taking any photos.

Let’s go ask Li Yan later.

Dr. Zhou asked a lot of questions about memory, but probably felt that it was useless, so he stopped.

"Tell me, you look so worried, do you have any questions?" Zhou Ming took a sip of water and looked at the little patient in front of him.

Li Nuo smiled sheepishly, then said hesitantly: "Because of my hospitalization, Li Yan looked very self-blaming, but it has nothing to do with him. I was the one who had to work overtime that day. So..."

When Li Nuo finally regained consciousness, he saw his brother with sunken eyes, dark circles under his eyes, and pale lips. He was immediately overwhelmed by self-blame. He didn't know how to make up for his mistake that caused others to worry like this.

"So you want to comfort him, but you don't know how?"

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "Let me tell you. As long as..."

After talking with Dr. Zhou, Li Nuo returned to the room.

Li Yan, who was sorting things, saw him and greeted him: "Brother, you are back from your walk."

After entering the ward and closing the door, Li Nuo walked to Li Yan and opened his slender arms.

Li Yan was confused, "........Brother?"

Li Nuo hugged him tightly and said, "I'm really grateful to have you by my side."

Although Li Yan's expression could not be seen clearly, his body stiffened for a moment.

"I'm sick, I'm sorry to have worried you, and......"

Li Nuo loosened his arms, raised his hand to stroke Li Yan's cheek, and smiled brightly.

"My brother is really amazing and so handsome. I will always be proud of you."

Expressing your gratitude and compliments sincerely and directly is the way to get along with your family.

Li Yan was so shocked that he was speechless. He just stood there in a daze without any reaction.

"Why don't you react at all? I did everything the doctor said," Li Nuo muttered, using a little more force to pull Li Yan's cheek, "and you didn't say a word."

He loosened the hand that was holding her cheek and tried to take it back. Li Yan hurriedly put his hand on top of it, his hand still trembling slightly.

Although I don’t know what the doctor said to my brother, I like my brother very much because he suddenly became very straightforward after he came back.

"Memory... or you still don't remember it?"

"Well, not at all." Although Li Nuo was very concerned about the scenes he saw in his dreams when he was unconscious, he felt that it had nothing to do with the things in the novel, so he did not say anything.

I am not that Li Nuo, and the memories will never come back.

"Do you care? Didn't you say before that it's okay if the memory doesn't come back?"

I have already said this before when we were talking at home.

Li Yan shook his head, "Just confirm it again. Don't worry about the memory anymore. Everything in the past is not important. Just live the way you like."

Li Yan sat on the bed, pulled Li Nuo closer, and put his ear against Li Nuo's heart.

Bang, bang, bang.

The sound of a beating heart is so sweet, "Just hearing that sound is enough for me."

It doesn’t matter if it’s someone else’s heartbeat, whether it’s fast or slow, but this is Li Nuo’s heartbeat. When I think of this, I feel at ease.

As long as I can live healthily like this, that's enough.

Li Nuo touched his head and said, "I will be more careful in the future."

He pushed Li Yan away and lifted his face. "So, my examination results are fine. The problem is you, brother. You really need to have a good rest. Do you want to follow me into the hospital?"

Li Yan smiled sheepishly, "I look ugly now, don't I?"

"No, there is a kind of useless handsome guy," Li Nuo rubbed his cheek with a smile, "it's just that his cheeks are sunken and need to be repaired."

"Brother, you have no right to say that to me."

As the two chatted, Li Yan paused and asked carefully, "Brother, do you still want to stay in the hospital?"

"No," Linuo refused flatly.

"But my health is worse than it was a month ago. The surgery has been postponed twice. If I miss the surgery again, it will be very troublesome."

Li Yan tried to convince him. If he had to go out to work again, what would he do if an accident happened?

"Isn't it good to stay in the hospital? This is a single room, very clean, and the soundproofing is good."

If you live at home, you can vaguely hear the conversations next door.

"The inpatient department is also very noisy, with people coming and going, and the food in the hospital is not tasty."

Linuo retorted.

Although it is hot at home, it is not unbearable. I turn on the air conditioner when I go to bed at night, and the highest temperature period has passed.

He Yan had asked the same question before, asking him to stay in the hospital until the surgery. At that time, Li Nuo's answer was also a refusal.

"......Okay. If you really don't want to, I won't force you to stay."

"You want me to stay in the hospital."

"That's right. After all, I've been to the hospital three times in the past two months."

Li Yan felt that it was not good to let his brother stand like this all the time, so he stood up and turned Li Nuo around, letting him sit on the hospital bed while he sat on the accompanying chair.

Bending down and putting his head on Li Nuo's legs, Li Yan let out a dull breath.

Seeing him acting like a child, Li Nuo stroked his hair and said, "If I am in the hospital, then you have to stay in the hospital all the time, worried and uncomfortable. The bed in the hospital is so small, let's go back home."

"Then we have to clean the house." Li Yan said in a low voice.

"Oh, yeah, I'll help too. It's ok to wipe the dust with a mask on."

Li Yan moved his hands and held Li Nuo's hand to play with it, "Don't, brother, your lungs are not good either, I will go back and clean it up first."

"Well, that's the only way. Fortunately, I've finished my part-time job at the coffee shop, otherwise I would have to skip work."

The two of them enjoyed their quiet time, but it was clear that it couldn't last long.

Look, here comes the troublemaker.

".......What are you two doing?"

Without knocking, the person who opened the door directly was Mo Chuan with a raised eyebrow, followed by Qin Xu.

This was the first time these two had come since Li Nuo woke up. The company was indeed busy with the affairs of its overseas branches and they really couldn't spare the time, especially for those who held real power.

"I got up."

Mo Chuan walked in and in a few steps he reached the bedside and spoke to Li Yan.

But Li Yan didn't care whether the two of them were close to each other or not, and didn't respond to his words. He still rested his head on Li Nuo's legs and closed his eyes to rest.

Li Nuo didn't let him get up, but smiled sweetly and welcomed the two of them.

"Hello, and thank you, Director Mo, for saving me that night."

"Hey, hey, hey, I like to hear that," Mo Chuan looked up and down at Li Nuo. He was still lying down for the past two days, but now he finally got up. His face was still as white as paper, so his rosy lips were even more attractive.

Mo Chuan took a look and asked, "Is it okay for you to get up now?"

"It's okay now. I went out for a walk."

"You know what? I really am...How long are you going to sit here? Get up."

Mo Chuan kicked Li Yan's chair impatiently.

Li Nuo immediately stopped him, "What if you fall down?"

“He didn’t fall.”

Mo Chuan said while kicking his feet.

"Do you know how long it has been since we last met? By the way, the first time I saw you, you were also wearing the same patient uniform."

Li Nuo was stunned by his turn of topic and couldn't help but pull up his clothes to take a look.

I have worn patient clothes so many times since I was a child.

I'm about to vomit from wearing it.
