When Su Chuanlin saw the backpack, he knew what was inside. Perhaps, in Yin Han's heart, what was inside was more important than his life, because it was a gift that Nan Sheng had given him on Christmas night.
"Why can't I find him here?" Su Chuanlin asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Wang Dali immediately explained, "Because it was Xiaohan who told me. You probably don't know, but it's a miracle that someone covered in injuries survived being frozen in the snow for so long. Yet, when he was entering the operating room, he suddenly grabbed my hand and said not to tell her, not to fill out my information at the hospital. He was still muttering with his eyes closed. Luckily, he met me. If it were someone else, how would they know who he was talking about?"
"He suffered a knife wound to his abdomen, and there were knife wounds in other places as well. His head, legs, and hands were hit by countless sticks. There wasn't a single part of him that was unharmed. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in this state now. In the past week, he has been rushed to the emergency room countless times. I can't even count them on my fingers."
"I plan to follow Xiaohan's opinion. All the information about his hospitalization is mine. But as you can see now, he hasn't woken up yet. The doctors have checked him repeatedly and haven't seen any other injuries. His heart rate is normal. The only answer is that Xiaohan himself doesn't want to wake up or he can't wake up."
So I thought I'd call the little girl over; maybe her Shengbao could wake him up... Otherwise, if he continues like this, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Even Wang Dali, a grown man who had served in the military, couldn't help but get teary-eyed when he saw it. From what he knew, the boy was quite pitiful.
Nan Sheng stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Dali: "Brother Wang, thank you."
She couldn't imagine what would have happened if it weren't for him; her boy might have died on that cold, snowy night. So, she was truly grateful to Wang Dali.
Why doesn't he want to wake up? Why? Didn't she come back? Hasn't he felt her love during all this time?
Wang Dali was so frightened that he quickly helped Nan Sheng up: "No, young lady, it was just a small favor. Besides, Xiao Han has been working for me since he came to Beicheng, and I consider him one of my own."
Hearing Wang Dali say this, Nan Sheng was deeply moved. She was moved for the young man and glad that he had found genuine people who cared for him after he came to Beicheng. Grandma Li was one of them, and Wang Dali was another.
Nan Sheng will reciprocate the sincerity of anyone who is genuinely kind to her.
After thanking Wang Dali, Nan Sheng went back inside in her sterile gown. Su Chuanlin and Yang Silin also wanted to go in, but unfortunately, the ICU ward didn't allow so many people in.
Nan Sheng wiped her eyes and sat down beside the hospital bed. Her fair hands gently grasped Yin Han's hands and pressed them tightly against Yin Han's masked face: "Yin Han, it's me, Sheng Bao... Are you in a lot of pain? Let me rub it for you, okay?"
"Why don't you want to wake up? Didn't you tell me to wait for you, to wait for you to confess your love to me? We were going to date, get married, and have a baby together."
"Do you think that by not telling me and not letting me know, you're doing it for my own good? You have no idea how crazy I've been looking for you these past few days. I really, really miss you."
"When I found out you were injured and couldn't find you anywhere, I felt more than just heartache; I felt pain all over, even more than when I was hit by a car."
"I'm sorry I hurt you again. Don't worry, I'll punish Lu Zhicheng first, and we can continue after you wake up, okay?"
"..."
"Actually, I have a huge secret that no one knows. If you wake up now and call me Shengbao, I'll tell you, okay?"
Nan Sheng spoke patiently, word by word, even though he lay motionless and unconscious on the hospital bed.
She sniffed, stroking Yin Han's hand with her palm. Her eyes were red and swollen, but her gaze was gentle. She was so serious that she didn't notice a tear rolling down the corner of the boy's eye.
The boy was tormented by the nightmares in his mind over and over again.
Yin Han, please don't call me Sheng Sheng, it really disgusts me.
Get out of here, I don't want to see you.
Why?! Even if you don't like Lucky, you can't hurt it; it's a living creature too.
Don't touch me.
I don't like you, I hate you so much, I shouldn't have brought you back in the first place.
Don't follow me. I don't want to see you. Your presence makes me feel nauseous.
You should leave. I don't want you to stay at the Nan family's place any longer.
...
In the dream, the boy listened to the girl's words, but no matter what he did, how he coaxed her, or what he said, she just wouldn't listen.
But clearly, the girl came to him, said she liked him, and coaxed him every day, kissed him, hugged him, and acted coquettishly towards him.
She confessed her love to him every day, saying she would wait for him. Why did it suddenly turn out like this?
The boy didn't understand. Watching the girl's figure getting further and further away, he tried desperately to catch up, but he couldn't. It was as if someone was holding him tightly from behind.
In an instant, the girl appeared before him, opened her arms to apologize, and asked if he wanted to forgive her, saying she would take him back.
How could the boy refuse? Just as he was about to reach out, a vicious voice came from the person who grabbed him from behind.
"You can't go. Do you even deserve it?"
"You're a bastard child that even your parents don't want. You were born into a garbage dump, and you'll never get rid of it."
"Don't you know how filthy you are? You've been touched by so many disgusting people, you don't deserve her."
"If I were her, I would find it disgusting to even look at you."
...
Looking at the unresponsive person on the hospital bed, Nan Sheng was overwhelmed by a sense of loss. Numbly, she walked out and went to the next room where Su Chuanlin and Yang Silin were.
"Shengbao, why don't we eat first? Xiaohan needs someone to take care of him right now. How can you have the strength to take care of him if you don't eat your fill, right?" Yang Silin patiently persuaded.
Su Chuanlin thought Nan Sheng still didn't want to eat, and was about to take her to the sofa to eat when she stood up.
"Mom, you're right."
Nan Sheng sat on the sofa, shoveling food into her mouth. Seeing Su Chuanlin standing to the side, she said, "Brother, please help me and Yin Han get our school suspensions processed. I won't go back to school until he recovers."
“No, Shengbao, you’re a senior in high school now. Xiaohan’s mom can take care of you, so you can focus on your studies.” Yang Silin still hopes that her daughter will do the right thing at the right stage.
“Mom, I just want to take care of him myself. I believe he will wake up, and I won’t let it interfere with my college entrance exam,” Nan Sheng said solemnly, her eyes more determined than ever before.
The boy will wake up. He's just too tired right now and wants to sleep. He'll wake up naturally once he's had enough sleep.
Yang Silin paused, unsure of what to say, or perhaps there was nothing to say. She knew her daughter all too well; she was just as stubborn as she had been back then, and once she made a decision, she wouldn't easily change it.
