Are you here to pick me up?
"Of course not." Yan Pingshun appeared beside Jiang Yu at some point.
Jiang Yu released Meng Wan, and Yan Pingshun then put his arm around Jiang Yu's waist.
The two remained as loving and affectionate as ever.
"Uncle Yan..."
"I heard from Ayu that you call her 'Mom,' but what about me?" Yan Pingshun was still the same humorous yet composed man Meng Wan remembered.
Meng Wan seemed a little shy, but still called out "Dad".
Yan Pingshun's smile widened as he patted Meng Wan's head, his happiness tinged with a hint of heartache, as if to say, "This child is so pitiful."
"Dad, Mom, where are we? Didn't you come to pick me up?" Meng Wan asked, voicing her confusion.
"Silly child, you can't come to this place yet." Jiang Yu flicked her forehead.
A rare look of confusion appeared in Meng Wan's eyes.
"You've been sleeping for a very long time, you can't keep sleeping in."
Did I sleep for a long time?
Yan Pingshun nodded, "Listen..."
"What are you listening to?" Meng Wan blinked, as if a voice was anxiously calling to her.
"We can't go back, but you two must take good care of yourselves, okay?"
"What do you mean?" Meng Wan became anxious as the two figures gradually faded into the distance.
She reached out to grab their hands, but walked right through them.
“Yan Nian has been waiting for you for a long time, Wanwan. Run, run towards the light... run to see the person you truly want to see.”
The two figures disappeared, and the sudden separation left Meng Wan at a loss.
She looked around at the darkness that had enveloped her, and suddenly, Yan Nian's face appeared in the dark space, as if it had been projected onto her.
In the video, the character's eyes are tightly closed, but tears keep rolling down her cheeks. Yan Nian, with red eyes as well, frantically presses the bell, anxiously calling out his own name.
"Wanwan... Wanwan..."
Each word and phrase was filled with pleading and earnestness, causing Meng Wan's heart to ache.
She looked in the direction where the Yan couple had disappeared, only to find a glimmer of light appearing in the previously dark space.
Without further hesitation, she ran towards the light.
The light from the incandescent bulb stung her eyes, causing her to instinctively close them again. Her lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.
"Wanwan!" Her voice was cautious, as if she was afraid that if she spoke too loudly, she would wake up from her dream.
Meng Wan couldn't speak, but she mouthed the words "Yan Nian".
She could feel Yan Nian holding her hand; it was warm and gave her a sense of returning to reality.
Yan Nian's hands looked long and slender with distinct knuckles, yet they were quite large, easily enveloping Meng Wan's hands.
"Yan Nian." Meng Wan spoke again, her voice soft but clear.
"Wanwan, I'm here." Yan Nian seemed to be crying, her voice trembling, with an uncontrollable sob in her voice.
Something dripped onto the back of her hand; Meng Wan knew it was Yan Nian's tears.
He rarely shed tears, and most of the time he seemed carefree and unconcerned about anything. Except when his parents passed away, it seemed that he shed all his remaining tears for her.
What was she trying to say before she fainted?
Oh, right!
"I love you." Meng Wan's voice was soft, each word spoken with unwavering determination.
After using the last of his strength to say those three words, he fell into a deep sleep again.
She looked tired, but her soft, even breathing put people at ease.
Yan Nian placed Meng Wan's hand next to his cheek. "I love you too. Thank you for waking up. Thank you, Wanwan."
He looked so humble that no one would believe he was the same Yan Nian who, at the age of 16, had decisively taken over the nearly bankrupt Yan family business.
He was only in his early twenties, and he had gained a lot, but he had also lost the most important person in his life. He could no longer bear the pain of losing his beloved.
Three more days passed, and Meng Wan's condition had completely stabilized. However, she still needed to rest for a while due to the mild concussion and the fracture in her arm.
In any case, waking up is the best outcome; everything else can be dealt with gradually.
This is what everyone thinks.
The day she woke up was the day Meng Wan was rescued from the brink of death.
According to Qin Yi, that day was truly a nightmare for everyone.
Meng Wan's heart rate suddenly dropped, and she was in critical condition for a full day and night. Everyone was terrified and didn't dare to sleep all night, staying up all night outside the operating room. The others had never seen this scene before, and quite a few people gathered around, thinking that some important person was lying inside.
In the end, Tang Qi had the security guards disperse the crowd. As for Yan Nian, he seemed to have lost his soul, leaning against the wall, refusing to speak to anyone who tried to talk to him. His condition was beyond description; it was more like a terrifying sight.
They had no doubt that if Meng Wan got into trouble, Yan Nian would definitely stab himself in the back.
Fortunately, all the hardships are over.
Qin Yi fed the porridge to Meng Wan's lips, but Meng Wan's thoughts were still immersed in Qin Yi's description, and she only mechanically opened her mouth.
"Wanwan, you can't scare Mom like that again next time, okay?"
Qin Yi's eyes immediately reddened when she thought of the scene of Meng Wan being wheeled into the operating room with tubes inserted, and her hand holding the spoon trembled.
Meng Wan nodded and forced a smile. Because of her brush with death, she had become quite thin and gaunt, making her smile even more pitiful.
Qin Yi put down the empty bowl. "I'll cook this for you when you're discharged from the hospital in a few days. It'll help you recover. You're already so thin, and if you go outside, the wind will probably blow it away."
Meng Wan chuckled, "It's not that exaggerated."
"Wanwan, Auntie." The two turned around and saw Lanxing and the others.
"Lan Xing and Qing Ling are here." Qin Yi stood up and greeted them with a smile.
In the past few days, people have been coming to visit Meng Wan at the hospital every day. If the doctor hadn't said she needed to rest, this group of people would probably have stayed here 24 hours a day. Even Guo Qingqing came all the way from her hometown and is now living with Lin Mi, coming to see her every few days.
Meng Wan glanced behind them, her eyes showing some disappointment.
"Stop looking, we just saw him go to chat with the doctor, the doctor is probably annoyed by him." Cui Qingling laughed.
"Wanwan, you chat with Lanxing and the others. I'm going back first. There's soup simmering in the pot, and your dad is watching it. I'm a little worried about it."
Meng Wan and the others knew that Qin Yi was giving the three girls a space to chat. After all, she was their parent, and if she stayed there, the three girls would feel awkward saying many things.
"Be careful on your way back," Meng Wan instructed.
"Don't worry, don't worry," Qin Yi said twice, as she quickly cleared away the dishes and left the ward.
