Chapter 67 Memory
Mo Chuan reached out and smoothed Linuo's hair, which was not easy to comb, and glanced at Qin Xu who was silent beside him, "Director Qin, don't you have a meeting this afternoon?"
“........”
"You know that your struggle for power has reached its most intense stage. You must not be careless at this time."
Qin Xu's face froze for a moment. It's not that he didn't know, but now, the fact that Li Nuo was sick was more obvious.
Yuesen Company has more than just him and Mo Chuan as the two powerful directors. One of Qin Xu's original reasons for joining the company was to consolidate power and become a chairman who has the final say. Now is the critical period for him to act.
If you stop now, even if you are not hurt, you will miss the opportunity and you don't know when the next chance will come.
'I'm sorry.'
Qin Xu stared at Li Nuo, who was breathing softly in his sleep, and a hint of apology flashed in his eyes.
This was his long-cherished wish and he couldn't give it up.
The afternoon meeting was very important to me. I had to win the support of several shareholders who were still wavering. I also had to finish Mo Chuan's overseas business trip and there were a lot of documents on the table that needed to be reviewed.
Real directors are not like those portrayed in novels, doing nothing all day long.
"Don't stand there, go to the company."
"You can wait a little longer. What about you? Are you not going?" Qin Xu turned and looked at Mo Chuan.
"Of course I have to stay here. I'm worried about him staying here alone," Mo Chuan said as if it was a matter of course. "It doesn't matter if I don't go to the meeting this afternoon. I will let Liu Ming attend to show my support for you."
He knew what Qin Xu's wish was and was happy to support him.
It's good to have a successful career and love, but now, he is the one who makes Qin Xu distressed in love.
There was silence in the ward for a while. Mo Chuan looked at his watch and said, "You really should leave. You didn't even bring your secretary with you. If you stay too long, someone will catch you."
He pointed at Linuo who knew nothing.
"There's no telling what those people will do when they are cornered."
Qin Xu did not have any special cover for coming out this time, so if someone carefully investigated, they would easily find out that he went to the hospital, so Li Nuo might become the prey.
Mo Chuan also knew this, so he seldom revealed his whereabouts and always let his secretary finish the job. Although someone may have noticed something, it has not been confirmed yet.
But if he came to the hospital so frequently, he would definitely be caught, especially if Li Yan didn't come. Mo Chuan was already thinking about what to do next.
Qin Xu turned around silently and was about to leave the ward. Mo Chuan turned around and shouted, "Ask Secretary Li to bring me some food when he gets off work."
"You say it yourself."
Mo Chuan rolled his eyes, "He blocked me. He's going to eat it anyway, so just bring me one on the way. I'll go to He Yan's for lunch."
Qin Xu nodded reluctantly. Not long after he left, He Yan came in.
Seeing him, she raised her eyebrows, "Why are you still here? Qin Xu has left, why don't you come with him?"
"Someone needs to be watching in the ward."
"The nurses will come to check on the ward in a while. I will come too, and the nurse hired by Li Yan will also come."
Mo Chuan was suspicious, "Nurse? Is he reliable?"
He Yan twitched his lips and said, "More reliable than you."
He Yan now finds him somewhat displeasing. He also speaks in a gun-and-stick manner, and he feels as if the child might be kidnapped.
He Yan walked towards the bed and observed Li Nuo's condition. His breathing was still stable. Judging from last night and today, he should be fine. But he couldn't be careless. Colds are terminal illnesses. After all, there is no solution that can solve it once and for all. If the situation gets worse again tonight, it would not be good.
"You're so old, and you went out and got caught in the rain," He Yan complained as he examined her. "You've only been out of the hospital for a short time, and you're back here again."
Mo Chuan also said, "That's right."
He Yan put away the flashlight and rolled his eyes. "I just said it casually. Why do you agree with me? Isn't it because the rain came too suddenly? Why blame Li Nuo?"
Mo Chuan was dumbfounded, "You have changed, you were not like this before."
"You're still stuck in high school. Thank you so much for remembering my old self. People change, don't you?" He Yan replied casually while writing and drawing in his notebook.
"By the way, haven't you been in contact with Linuo recently? Is that okay? I heard that things are very tense in your company recently."
".......Did you plant a spy in the company?"
"No matter what, don't drag Li Nuo into this." He Yan pushed his glasses and warned, "His small body can't stand the torture."
"I know, I will build a greenhouse to hide him." Mo Chuan waved his hand, indicating that I have made up my mind.
He Yan's mouth twitched, "Imprisonment is against the law."
"Hey, it's OK if he just moves in."
He Yan shook his head. "Okay, if you want to stay here, just stay. When he wakes up, press the bell. Also, don't disturb the nurses at work."
Before He Yan left, he looked back and saw Mo Chuan reaching out to pull Linuo's quilt. He was a little surprised, "It looks like he's completely fallen in."
As soon as He Yan left, there were only two of them left. Mo Chuan pulled the quilt and took hold of Li Nuo's slender wrist, thinking in his mind, 'Should I really hide somewhere?'
If he lives with me, I will definitely have the best nutritionist to supervise him to finish eating, so he won't be so thin even if he gets sick. There will also be a family doctor resident, so it will be easy for him to get checked.
I will be by his side 24 hours a day, and when he is in good health, we can go out together and even go abroad.
It is not suitable to recuperate in a big city. It is better to go to a place with good air and suitable climate, and bring those who need help with you.
Mo Chuan thought it was so wonderful that he wanted to resign from his position as director immediately and take Li Nuo away.
Although I have never experienced this kind of life, I am sure that it will be fun as long as I am with Li Nuo.
"Get well soon," he muttered to himself.
The ward became quiet, and he silently waited for Li Nuo to wake up.
.........
Li Nuo knew that he was dreaming again, a lucid dream.
Since entering this world, as if for the sake of time and space balance, his memory has gradually become filled with only the contents of novels. He is a little anxious and does not want to lose his former self.
Only residual impressions remained of the dream he had before, but he also remembered that it was his own memory, not just a dream as He Yan said.
But the body doesn't behave the way it wants.
He could only watch as the mist dissipated and his body began to move on its own.
Everything in front of him seemed to be magnified. Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was not that it was magnified, but that he had become smaller. This is the perspective of a child.
His hands were drawing something on the ground, as if he was observing insects moving.
Someone was talking, but the voice was inaudible. However, the child turned around and saw a villa with chic retro decoration. The iron chain door slowly opened and a brown puppy excitedly rushed towards the child.
He was quickly thrown to the ground and sat on it, with only soft brown fur visible in his field of vision.
The puppy rubbed against his little master very dependently.
Someone came out of the villa behind the puppy. They saw a man and a dog clinging to each other, and vague laughter was heard.
The man slowly approached and stretched out his hand toward the child, trying to pull him up.
The child who fell on his butt also cooperated by raising his head, stretching out his hand and looking over there.
The sun was so bright that the man's face was blurry and unclear.
But this time, Linuo remembered what he said.
The child yelled, "Dad!"
After this scene, Linuo woke up.
'What, that kid...'
He was a little dazed and nostalgic for a moment.
He opened his eyes with great effort, and the faint smell of disinfectant wafted from his nose. The memory of last night came back to him, and his head ached. Was he in the hospital again?
Mo Chuan, who had been watching him, pressed the bell immediately when he saw him open his eyes.
The nurse and He Yan arrived soon and pushed Li Nuo for a check-up. Mo Chuan followed them around, although he couldn't help at all.
By the time the examination was completed, it was already past noon.
"He fell asleep again quickly without saying a word."
He Yan stroked Li Nuo's head and breathed a sigh of relief. The examination results were good. There was nothing wrong with his lungs. Although his heart rate was a little slow, it was also within the normal range.
"He may be thirsty now, but his throat is swollen, so drinking water will hurt a little. So, if you are watching here, use gauze to dip some water and apply it on his lips." He Yan looked outside. "The nurse is a little difficult to deal with the last patient, so she will probably be here later."
"Of course, if he wakes up and wants to drink, try to use warm water. Not too hot, and not cold water."
"Yes, I understand."
"Remember to be gentle."
“.......”
Li Nuo slept very uneasily, his dreams were fragmented, his brain seemed to be exercising, he was extremely tired, and his body was very weak. The feeling of thirst made him open his mouth unconsciously, wanting to drink water, but he was unable to wake up because of the dream.
As he was anxious, he felt something wet on his lips and he unconsciously stuck out his tongue to absorb the moisture.
"What? Are you trying to seduce me?"
Mo Chuan muttered to himself, but he didn't know what to do, so he had to follow He Yan's instructions and continue to apply water on Li Nuo's lips with gauze.
Li Nuo had a vague feeling of wanting to wake up, but his eyes could not open completely. He could only feel that someone was watching him, looking at him with gentle and worried eyes, and with deep emotions.
He wanted to tell the man not to worry, so he finally just moved his fingers and gently grasped his sleeve.
Mo Chuan stopped holding the gauze, and a huge feeling of joy surged into his heart, almost drowning everything he had.
Although people are more vulnerable when they are sick, he was still ecstatic that Linuo depended on him so much.
He carefully put his hand down and used his other hand to wipe the wet gauze.
"Get well soon, Sleeping Beauty."
