Chapter 66: Back in the Hospital

The weather in late autumn has already made people feel very chilly, but the scenery is still good, especially the greening of the apartment area is very good.

Li Nuo sat on a bench in the community's public garden, staring blankly at the gray sky, muttering to himself, "It's cloudy today. I haven't seen the sun for several days."

He needs to exercise a certain amount every day, so he goes out for a walk, mainly because he feels tired staying at home.

Ever since talking to Li Yan that night, for some reason, Li Yan stuck to me even more closely. It just so happened that I didn't have to work overtime during this period, so he came home very early.

Mo Chuan also started contacting me more frequently than before, and his words were... much more explicit. He clearly told me to think about it carefully, but he didn't give me any time to relax.

Qin Xu, who used to be quiet, has become much more active. He was busy with work some time ago and rarely paid attention to me. Now he always contacts me at noon and simply says hello or something.

Are you really not making fun of yourself?

Linuo was very suspicious.

With the addition of Zhang Wanhui who always contacts him, Li Nuo finds his life suddenly becomes busy.

"Ha, being busy isn't a good thing. Forget it, let's go for a walk."

Li Nuo stood up and walked slowly along the shaded path where leaves were rustling. This was also one of his daily ways to increase his step count. Red begonias were planted on both sides of the path.

Wearing headphones and listening to soothing music, Li Nuo felt that his tense nerves of the past few days were much more relaxed.

He wanted to go around and stay outside for a while, but the weather was not good. The gray sky suddenly started to rain. Li Nuo hurriedly hid in the pavilion, muttering: "Didn't they say it would be cloudy today? How come autumn is just like summer, and it rains as soon as it's said to."

He patted his clothes and stroked his hair vigorously. "Oops, I got caught in the rain. I hope it's okay."

"The rain won't stop." Looking at the dense raindrops outside, Li Nuo sighed sadly.

Looking at the still gloomy sky, after waiting in the pavilion for a while, the rain showed no sign of stopping.

'I have to go back and change my clothes and dry my hair.'

Li Nuo was a little anxious. While the rain was not that heavy, he quickly took off his coat, covered his head with it, and rushed home after running and walking a few steps.

By the time he ran into the apartment building, his coat was soaked, but luckily he was wearing thicker clothes so his body did not get wet.

Li Nuo shuddered and thought about taking a shower when he got home.

When he came out drying his hair, he saw his cell phone vibrating wildly. Looking at the name displayed on the screen, the corners of his mouth twitched. After thinking for a moment, he put it aside.

After he finished blow-drying his hair, he checked his cell phone and found that there were more than a dozen missed calls.

Li Nuo estimated that if he didn't answer the call, Mo Chuan would come to his house.

Just as he was thinking about it, his cell phone lit up again. Li Nuo was also impressed by his perseverance.

“It’s been hard to make phone calls lately.”

Mo Chuan's aggrieved voice came from the phone.

"I was just taking a shower."

Lino explained.

"Taking a shower, in the daytime? What's wrong?"

Li Nuo folded up the hair dryer with one hand and said, "Nothing, just a little rain."

Without waiting for a reply, he continued, "It's okay. I'm back just in time."

Mo Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "When are we going to have dinner? You clearly promised me before, but there's no follow-up."

"The weather is bad today. I don't want to go out."

"I'll pick you up when the weather is good. By the way, you mentioned earlier that you wanted to find a job, and now you're getting some results."

"Hmm?" Li Nuo showed some interest. His health had improved a lot, and he wanted to go out to work to reduce the burden, but he couldn't find a suitable one, and his academic qualifications did not meet the requirements.

"You were doing well working in a coffee shop before."

"Well, yes, and then?"

Speaking of coffee shops, he thought of Sister Yunjin, who was very kind to him. When she heard that he was hospitalized, she even came to see him even though they had only met a few times.

"I know a coffee shop that's going to be short of staff."

Li Nuo was suspicious: "Will there be a shortage of people? You won't force Sister Yun Jin to fire the people in her coffee shop, right?"

He knew that Mo Chuan had helped Yun Jin before.

".......Am I that kind of person?"

"Not quite sure?" Li Nuo chuckled.

“.......”

"Anyway, I will be ready, you just need to wait patiently." Mo Chuan changed the subject.

"Are you ready? Wait, you're not going to open a new coffee shop?"

"That's it, please keep warm." Mo Chuan hung up the phone quickly.

For the first time, Mo Chuan hung up the phone without even saying goodbye. Li Nuo tilted his head, thinking, this can't be true, this guy really opened a coffee shop?

Li Nuo closed his eyes and felt a little dizzy.

When Li Yan came back from get off work, he looked at the newly dried clothes on the balcony and asked in confusion, "Brother, are you washing clothes again?"

"Well, it rained a little today."

Li Yan's expression suddenly became serious and he quickly took out the cold medicine.

"Brother, take the medicine first."

Li Nuo had taken too many medicines since he was discharged from the hospital, and now he felt nauseous when he saw it. He refused: "No, I'll be back soon to take a shower and blow dry my hair."

"No, I told you before, and there's pneumonia, have you forgotten?"

Looking at the black cold medicine that Li Yan brought in front of him, Li Nuo pinched his nose and drank it in one gulp.

I still hate being sick.

But contrary to his wishes, he eventually fell ill.

In the middle of the night, Li Nuo, who was woken up by the fever, touched his forehead, picked up the phone with difficulty and called Li Yan who was sleeping in the next room.

Li Yan, who habitually did not keep silent, immediately called an ambulance.

Li Nuo stayed in the emergency room until early morning and fell into a state of unconsciousness and high fever. Fortunately, when Qin Xu chose the house, he may have taken Li Nuo's poor health into consideration and chose a place not far from the hospital where He Yan worked.

After making a phone call in advance, He Yan had already arranged everything.

He Yan sighed as he saw that the man had become so weak overnight.

"I told you to be careful."

He glanced at Li Yan who was busy and anxious all the time, "I will come to check on you often. You should take a rest and then go to work. Waiting for him here will not make you better immediately, and it will only wear you down."

He patted Li Yan's shoulder and said, "Although he suffered a little, the condition was controlled in time and it didn't turn into pneumonia. Don't worry."

".......At least wait until he wakes up."

"There's nothing you can do. He's not in danger now."

Li Yan thought about the company that was becoming busy again, and realized that if he didn't work, all the responsibilities would fall on Secretary Yang alone.

Thinking of Secretary Yang who worked so hard every time he asked for leave, Li Yan's conscience, which only cared about his brother, wavered for a moment and he stood up reluctantly.

"Okay, I'll go to the company."

"I'll tell you when he wakes up, so take it easy. I don't want to see you getting an IV drip later."

".....Thank you, bro."

"Nothing." He Yan rolled his eyes, "We are all old acquaintances."

Li Yan gave a bitter smile, and after daybreak, he went to work after all.

After Li Yan, with a tired face, walked into the company, he bumped into Secretary Yang. When he saw him, Secretary Yang's face was full of complicated expressions.

"...You looked like you were going to pass out any second."

Li Yan rubbed his face, trying to cheer himself up a little, "It's not that exaggerated."

By the way, I handed the iced American coffee I bought on the way to Secretary Yang.

Secretary Yang took a look and said, "You bought one for yourself? Don't you usually not drink?"

"Let's have a drink today."

Secretary Yang took the coffee, feeling a little conflicted. He had received a text message from Li Yan early in the morning saying that he might ask for leave in the morning. He was still thinking about how to tell Qin Xu, because if he told him, Qin Xu's meeting in the morning would probably be postponed, or he might simply not attend and go to the hospital.

Fortunately, Li Yan came. If his younger brother came to work, it would be difficult for Qin Xu, his boss, to go to the hospital alone.

"Is Linuo okay?"

Li Yan nodded and shook his head, "It's not getting serious, but I'll probably have to be hospitalized this week."

Secretary Yang looked at him silently. He originally thought they were brothers, but it turned out they were not. However, Li Yan didn't seem to care about this. Instead, he really regarded Li Nuo as his only family member.

I just don’t know how Li Nuo would react if he knew the truth.

He and Li Yan opened the office door together and comforted her, "Don't worry, Dr. He is watching. I understand that you want to go to the hospital as soon as possible, so let's finish the work quickly."

“Time flies by quickly when you work hard.”

Li Yan found it a little funny to hear Secretary Yang's consolation in his personal style. Since he was already in the company, he should just work hard. However, after the meeting, Qin Xu and Mo Chuan both disappeared, which made Li Yan frown. He could only try his best not to think about the whereabouts of these two people.

On the way to the hospital, Qin Xu called He Yan to ask where Li Nuo's ward was.

He Yan was very surprised by this, but still told him the room number.

Perhaps it was because the subsidy Qin Xu gave was too much, so He Yan had no pressure in making the arrangements. Although it was not as good as the last time he was hospitalized, it was also a single room.

Without Li Yan or Secretary Yang telling him, he had already arranged for Fang Che to report on Li Nuo's current situation every few days.

So last night, he received the news that Li Nuo was hospitalized.

Now, he stood beside the bed, staring at Linuo who was still sleeping.

How come this kind of drama has been seen so many times in the past year?

While he was watching, Mo Chuan also arrived. The sound of opening the door was a little hurried, which made Qin Xu turn around and gesture to speak in a low voice.

Mo Chuan's clothes were a little messy when he ran over in a hurry, and his hair was messy due to the wind, which was very inconsistent with his usual image.

After the meeting, the department under Mo Chuan's charge had a separate meeting summary, so there was some communication.

Mo Chuan straightened his clothes and walked to the bedside. "He was fine when he talked to me yesterday. Sure enough, I should have taken him to the hospital at that time."

He felt a little guilty, thinking that he might be the first person to know that Linuo was caught in the rain, but he did nothing.

He had seen him hospitalized so many times. Thinking that he might see it again in the future, he couldn't help but think of locking up Li Nuo forever.
