Chapter 56 The fifty-sixth day of restraint, holding her firmly.
Pei Yunhe was arbitrary, and Shan Yin could not and would not refuse him.
After packing his luggage, he went to make dinner for Shan Yin. Although Shan Yin couldn't eat much, he still coaxed her.
"Even if you fly to Yunsu now, Grandpa won't wake up immediately. It's better for you to eat well and sleep well, take care of yourself first, and after tomorrow is over, you will have the energy to watch over Grandpa."
He piled up a small mountain of food in front of Shan Yin, and also poured a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, so that Shan Yin would collapse before others reached Yunsu.
Even if Dan Yin can't eat much, it's still a good thing.
He couldn't bear to see Shan Yin looking haggard and thin.
"But Pei Yunhe, I'm still worried..."
After washing up, Pei Yunhe carried Shan Yin back to bed and tucked her in.
She was still worried and wanted to pack her things and go to the airport immediately.
Pei Yunhe pressed her gently, leaned down, and looked at her completely in his amber eyes.
"Dan Yin, don't be anxious when things happen, don't panic. If you panic, the situation will become more unstable."
His fingers slid across Shan Yin's cheek. Shan Yin's skin was cold, and that little bit of warmth was transmitted from Pei Yunhe's fingertips to Shan Yin's heart.
"Don't worry, I've already asked people from the Yunsu branch to guard the hospital. They'll tell us immediately if anything happens. Now all you have to do is get a good night's sleep."
The moonlight fell on the quartz clock in the bedroom. The hands moved one by one, creating ripples in the gray and crystal moonlight, and the ripples eventually returned to calm.
Pei Yunhe pointed there and said, "Look, less than eight hours, only 28,800 times. I'll help you count. When I'm done, I'll wake you up immediately, okay?"
Shan Yin's eyes were also filled with tears, "We will go back early tomorrow morning."
Pei Yunhe responded word by word: "We will go back early tomorrow morning."
Shan Yin's tense shoulders finally relaxed a little. Pei Yunhe lowered his head and kissed her eyes. The moisture soaked into the gap between his lips. He helped her close her eyes, turned over, patted her shoulder with one hand, and counted softly.
"one two three……"
The thin and steady voice, like a white feather from the wings of a god, soothed Shan Yin's panicked heart and gradually woke her up from sleepiness.
She vaguely remembered hearing Pei Yunhe count to more than two thousand times. She didn't know what happened afterwards. She only knew that when she opened her eyes again, the sky outside the window was glowing with a blue-green light, and a small piece of orange-red could be seen from the sky.
Pei Yunhe's hand was still on her shoulder, he was still leaning sideways, his eyes slightly closed, his lips moving.
A bright light suddenly flashed. It was a message from the cell phone that Pei Yunhe had placed next to the pillow. Shan Yin was worried that it was something about the hospital and wanted to go past him to get it.
However, just as she moved an inch, Pei Yunhe opened his eyes instantly and shouted "Twenty-one thousand and eighty-eight".
Shan Yin and he froze at the same time. Pei Yunhe stared at Shan Yin for a moment, then regained consciousness and immediately pressed Shan Yin down to lie down.
"I'll do it."
He rubbed his eyes, turned over to get his phone, and then turned back. The bright light reflected on his pupils, and the red bloodshot around them was easily visible. The wrinkles on his double eyelids were also stretched due to fatigue.
He glanced at the message and replied while talking to Shan Yin: "They said that grandpa's condition has stabilized, but he's still unconscious. But it doesn't matter. I've contacted friends in North City and abroad. Some of their families are involved in the medical industry, so it won't be difficult to hire a few experts in this field."
As if afraid of dazzling Dan Yin, Pei Yunhe reached out and turned the screen brightness to the dimmest level.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll ask Mr. Bai later. He knows a lot of old Chinese medicine practitioners and maybe he can help."
After saying that, he put away his phone and stroked Shan Yin's temples with his big hand.
"It's not time to leave yet. Sleep a little longer. I'll call you when you're ready."
Shan Yin pulled his hand out from under the quilt, placed it on the back of Pei Yunhe's hand, and held him tightly.
"Pei Yunhe, didn't you take a rest?"
Pei Yunhe was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "No, I just woke up."
"You counted to more than 20,000 times." Shan Yin frowned and held Pei Yunhe's hand even tighter.
"Well..." He simply answered the question irrelevantly. "I couldn't hold on for a moment, and fell asleep as soon as my eyes closed. Well, as I get older, I'm not as good as I used to be. I used to be able to work all night and still run and jump the next day."
Shan Yincai didn't believe his joke.
His own words just now had already exposed it.
"You spent the whole night trying to get me to sleep, then contacted those friends and doctors, and kept an eye on the news from Grandpa, right?"
It was obvious that he had dozed off for a short while near dawn, and he was still remembering what he had promised her. That was why he woke up in shock the moment she left and called out the number he had been thinking about.
For some reason, Shan Yin's nose suddenly felt sore and her eye sockets tightened. After learning that Su Daosheng's condition was serious, the sourness that she had been suppressing in her heart dissipated and her eyes were filled with mist.
The long eyelashes were wet and stuck together by tears, which made Pei Yunhe's heart wrench. He dared not lie to Shan Yin anymore.
"Yes, I didn't sleep, but I'm fine. I'm in good health, don't you remember? Don't cry, I won't lie to you. If you rest for a while, I will definitely ask you to go back to Yunsu, okay?"
Shan Yin did not answer, but instead bumped into Pei Yunhe's arms.
The bitterness was no longer just the worry about Su Daosheng and his own helplessness in Nanqiao.
Shan Yin had never thought, never thought, that there would be someone in her life who could be such a solid support and hold her up firmly.
Pei Yunhe's broad shoulders were as hard as a wall, and this wall voluntarily protected her from wind and rain, so she could hide under it without any worries.
Even though she wanted to climb the wall and look out with him, he could still be her safe haven whenever she needed him.
She gritted her teeth, clutched the collar of Pei Yunhe's shirt tightly, and sobbed softly in his arms, trying not to make any sound.
Her shoulders rose and fell, and she refused to cry because Pei Yunhe had given her too much love and care, and she was reluctant to cry and make him worry.
Shan Yin suppressed the stinging feeling in his nose and pretended nothing had happened. A little sound came from Pei Yunhe's chest.
"I won't sleep anymore. Let's go to the airport. I'll drive and we'll go back to Yunsu together."
But those tears had already soaked Pei Yunhe's clothes, so how could he not know about Dan Yin's emotional changes.
But it didn't matter, the tears were as warm as her words.
Pei Yunhe curled the corners of his mouth, hugged the person tightly in his arms, and reached out to stroke her back gently.
"Okay, you drive. Let's go back to Yunsu together."

They took the earliest flight of the day.
After landing, someone from Xiaohan Yunsu branch came to pick us up. There weren't many people commuting on the road, so the journey was smooth and we soon arrived at the hospital where Su Daosheng was staying.
He Yuxian has been working in Yunsu during this period. After confirming that Shan Yin and Pei Yunhe were coming the night before, he waited in the hospital early. As soon as they met, he explained Su Daosheng's condition in detail again.
When talking about the reason for the sudden change in the disease, He Yuxian paused, looked at Shan Yin calmly, and changed the subject.
"Fortunately, with proper monitoring these past few days, the old man's indicators have stabilized quickly."
Pei Yunhe took the analysis report from He Yuxian, glanced at it briefly, then looked up and said to He Yuxian, "What time does the attending physician start work? The experts I contacted should be arriving in the next two days. Let's see when it's convenient to arrange a consultation."
He talked as he walked, with many things on his mind. His usually gentle features now looked sharp and solemn. He walked quickly in the cold hospital corridor, with a chill all over his body.
"The newly transferred escort can be trusted. I will arrange for more personnel to strengthen the surveillance. You should be more familiar with this place and keep a closer eye on it later."
As he said this, he glanced at He Yuxian beside him and no longer called him uncle as jokingly as before.
Instead, he said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lawyer He."
He Yuxian knew what he meant and nodded.
Shan Yin, on the other side, was worried about Su Daosheng. She walked quickly and didn't hear much along the way. She caught a few words belatedly and asked with a puzzled look, "Surveillance? Why do we need surveillance?"
Pei Yunhe looked back and gently but forcefully put his arm around her shoulders. "It's not a big deal to monitor the data in real time."
Shan Yin was worried and became more anxious: "Are they going to monitor the data? Is it that serious?"
Pei Yunhe steadied her shoulders and continued to comfort her: "No, it's precisely because the condition has stabilized that I contacted someone to transfer Grandpa to the convalescent ward. There, no one needs to watch over him every day, and he can rely on instruments and equipment."
Shan Yin breathed a sigh of relief with a doubtful look.
Pei Yunhe was afraid that she was still worried, so he simply walked quickly for a while and pushed her to the innermost suite on the top floor.
"Look, grandpa is there, fine. Haven't you always missed him? Go and see him."
He was like a teacher coaxing a child to go to kindergarten to find his parents. Shan Yin's heart was drawn in. She nodded vigorously and rushed to Su Daosheng's bed anxiously and excitedly.
The old man's illness came on suddenly and quickly. He has been in a coma for the past two days and his expression is not peaceful, but it is better than being awake and suffering.
All of Dan Yin's worries and tensions from the previous night, as well as his longing for her during this period, disappeared in an instant.
The person in front of her was her blood relative who had taken care of her for many years. The warm memories of the past and the cold situation when her parents passed away were still vivid in her mind.
Shan Yin was afraid that Su Daosheng would never wake up, so he called out "Grandpa" twice, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was trembling.
She had no choice but to clutch a corner of the quilt covering Su Daosheng's body to find some foothold, her knuckles bent and white.
Then those calls finally turned into unstoppable sobs, and tears rolled in the eyes like surging waves.
But she didn't dare cry loudly, she didn't dare let the tears flow out.
She was still crying quietly and cautiously. Pei Yunhe and He Yuxian stood at the door of the ward bedroom and could only see her shoulders trembling.
He Yuxian recalled the day when Shan Yin went to Nanqiao, and he was also so forbearing when reading documents in the car.
He opened his mouth to call out to Shan Yin.
But Pei Yunhe patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't disturb her. Leave her alone for a while. She can't cry if someone is around."
He Yuxian glanced at Pei Yunhe sideways, nodded and walked out.
Pei Yunhe's eyes were also full of heartache and reluctance, but he probably understood Shan Yin better. Shan Yin had indeed been strong-willed since childhood, and was brought up dignified and calm. He would not cry easily when something happened.
She had been holding it in for so long, and she seemed stronger and calmer than anyone else. She was unwilling to cry easily and let outsiders notice her weakness.
But the person lying there was one of her closest relatives, and she couldn't remain indifferent.
It would be better to let her stay alone with Su Daosheng for a while.
Whether she is crying or laughing, she needs to vent her emotions and can't keep them suppressed anymore.
He Yuxian glanced at Pei Yunhe who was following him.
Pei Yunhe looks gentle, and sometimes one even feels that there is a sense of alienation and indifference beneath his surface gentleness, but one would not have thought that his mind is so delicate and calm.
Last night in the middle of the night, although Pei Yunhe was still far away in Nanqiao, he had people busy in and out of the hospital. He almost didn't sleep all night, always keeping an eye on the situation here and making arrangements.
He Yuxian admired his meticulousness and initiative.
And if he hadn't helped, perhaps the reason why Su Daosheng's condition suddenly worsened would not have been found out so quickly.
He paused for a moment, Pei Yunhe walked past him and out of the ward, looking up at the surveillance camera on the ceiling.
"Shan Zewu is really unscrupulous." Pei Yunhe cursed.
He Yuxian also looked over. Even he, who was always impartial, couldn't help but scold coldly: "Who could have imagined that after he failed to sow discord among you in Nanqiao, he would actually go back to Yunsu and say such nonsense in front of the old man. It's absolutely shameless!"
