Chapter 8
Li Nuo's eyelashes trembled a few times, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing a dark figure in front of him, he subconsciously said, "Good morning."
Li Yan felt warmed at the sight of him smiling and greeting her even though he was half asleep.
My eyes turned red. That was great. I hadn't changed back, and I wasn't dreaming.
Li Nuo became a little more awake and saw what was in front of him clearly. He frowned.
"Why are you crying?"
“…I didn’t cry.”
"No, you were crying." Li Nuo reached out and touched Li Yan's face.
"Don't cry."
"Yes, I understand."
Li Yan put his hand on Li Nuo's hand on his face and took it down.
He felt like he was about to cry, so he had to lower his head to hide it.
He held the thin hand in his hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Li Nuo understood that this guy was moved again, so he touched Li Yan's head with his other hand to comfort him.
After Li Yan calmed down, he asked Li Nuo to get up and wash up, and went to get breakfast.
Linuo was half dozing and half eating, and suddenly stopped.
“Am I the only one eating this?”
“The meals in the hospital are only for the patients.”
"What do the caregivers eat?"
"Go out and buy food, or have a box lunch."
Li Nuo was stunned, looking at the food on the table in front of him.
Suddenly he stood up and opened the bedside cabinet, "I remember seeing it yesterday."
"Brother, what are you looking for?" Li Yan looked at him and asked curiously.
"Ah, found it." Li Nuo took out a pair of well-packaged disposable chopsticks from the cabinet and stuffed them into Li Yan's hands.
"Let's eat together. I can't finish all this by myself."
"Huh?"
Li Yan's face was full of surprise.
Linuo really hates eating alone, so even if we don’t eat together, we have to stay within his sight.
This time I was just watching from the side out of habit, I didn't expect him to suddenly ask to eat with me.
Li Yan held the chopsticks, at a loss.
Li Nuo took the initiative to share half of the breakfast with him. "It may not be enough for you, but it will fill your stomach first. The food in the hospital doesn't taste that good."
It was indeed not very delicious. Li Yan took a bite and thought, no wonder Li Nuo always asked him to go out and buy food for him.
After growing up, I can only count a few memories of having meals with Linuo.
Li Yan likes his change, but is also afraid.
I don’t know when my memory will come back.
Watching Li Yan eating slowly, Li Nuo couldn't help but ask, "Is it still not to your liking? Or do you mean you don't want to eat with me?"
Li Yan was startled and shook his head quickly: "No, it's just...ah...I'm used to eating slowly in the morning."
Li Yan tightly grasped the chopsticks and cursed himself in his heart. He didn't know when the memory would come back, so he should cherish it now.
I am always thinking about all sorts of nonsense, which is really too unstable.
He lowered his head to eat, "This meal can only be described as light."
The two chatted and laughed while having breakfast together.
Shortly after the meal, Li Yan's cell phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that the caller ID showed "Secretary Yang".
Li Yan hesitated for a moment, but the person on the other end of the phone was very persistent and didn't hang up.
He sighed, but still answered the call.
"Hello?"
“Save me!”
Secretary Yang's loud voice came through the phone, and the tone sounded very miserable.
It immediately attracted the attention of Li Nuo who was standing next to him.
Li Yan smiled apologetically and turned away.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Director Qin said that his secretary is not here, so he will not attend today's meeting. However, today is an executive meeting, and it is very important..."
"........You know I'm on annual vacation, right?"
"......I know, but I'm sorry."
Secretary Yang's tone was full of complaints towards Qin Xu and apologies towards Li Yan.
Because he knew it wasn't Secretary Yang's fault, Li Yan didn't get angry. After all, they were just working people, so they should understand each other.
It doesn't matter whether he attends the meeting or not, and it won't lead to a promotion or a pay rise.
But if Qin Xu said that he didn't go because the secretary was away, then the secretary would also be responsible for completing the aftermath.
Li Yan sighed again and checked the time.
"The meeting is at 2pm, right?"
"Yes!"
"I'll be there at half past one. By then, prepare what you need."
"Really?! I'll report you coming."
"....yes."
Secretary Yang hung up the phone excitedly.
Although it was not hands-free, Li Nuo could hear it clearly in the quiet ward.
He approached Li Yan with an angry expression on his face: "Why don't you report it to the labor department? I'll help you report it."
As he spoke, he opened his cell phone and searched for the Labor Bureau number.
"ah....."
"This is my boss deliberately making things difficult for me. I'm clearly on vacation."
Li Yan took his annual leave only to accompany Li Nuo to see a doctor, and he never took it for his own rest.
Li Nuo was already astonishing yesterday, and his current actions are even more astonishing.
Li Yan is not annoying.
However, I still have to go to work, because Qin Xu is my benefactor... Besides, if I don't go, I will be the one who has to work overtime to deal with this matter.
Thinking of this, he reached out to stop Linuo from making the phone call.
"It doesn't matter. This is not the first or second time."
"Huh? That's even more reason to report it."
Linuo looked even angrier, with a faint blush on his snow-white face.
Li Yan was afraid that something might have happened to him, so he apologized immediately.
"sorry."
"Why are you apologizing?"
Linuo looked at him strangely.
"Well, brother, don't get angry about this. It's not good for your heart."
Linuo took a deep breath and relaxed.
"I'm not that angry, I'm just a little unhappy. It's a day off, but they still ordered their employees to work like that. Capitalists should be put on the street lights."
As he spoke, he hammered the quilt a few times.
Hearing this complaint, which was similar to Secretary Yang's, Li Yan smiled faintly.
"If I don't go now, I'll have more things to do later. It's only one afternoon, and I'll be back early."
Looking at his warm smile, Li Nuo put down her phone and reminded him, "If you are really tired, you must learn to report it."
"Yes, I will."
The look in Li Yan's eyes when he looked at Li Nuo was as gentle as the warm breeze in spring.
Even if I become the original Linuo after my memory is restored, the time we spend together now can support me.
This is the best gift ever.
.........
After finishing the morning's diagnosis, He Yan came to the ward and took another look, and said that it was okay to be discharged.
In fact, it would be better for me to stay in the hospital, but since Li Nuo wanted to be discharged, I had no choice but to let him do it. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with my health at the moment.
Linuo went to the bathroom to change his clothes. When he took off his hospital gown, he stopped when he saw the scar.
I was too confused yesterday to notice it, but now I see that the scar is quite long.
He walked to the mirror and saw that the body was really thin.
Then, there was a long red scar in the center of the chest.
"It's a sign of surgery," Linuo touched the scar, "it must be painful."
This scar is the only red mark on this pale body.
He lowered his eyes, "Maybe he really is scared and wants to escape..."
