Zhou Rui was so excited that he fainted. When he woke up again, he was in a hospital ward. He opened his eyes and looked around. There was no one there. Not long after, a nurse came in to check on him and removed the IV.
Zhou Rui looked at the nurse and asked, "Nurse, what time is it now?"
"Seven o'clock in the evening." The nurse removed the needle and left.
Zhou Rui pressed the bandage on his hand, sat on the hospital bed, looked at his hospital gown, and saw that the ward was still empty.
He thought to himself that he must have returned to his own world, that he was all alone here again, and that He Muchen was now just some distant, unreachable star.
That beautiful dream ultimately fell short; he didn't respond in time, didn't say I was willing to try dating him, or that I liked him, liked him so much.
He sat on the hospital bed, feeling increasingly distressed. He hugged the blanket, buried his head, and burst into tears.
Waaah...
Just as he was about to break down in tears, the door to the ward opened, and He Muchen walked in with dinner. Seeing Zhou Rui clutching a pillow and sobbing, He Muchen was startled and strode to Zhou Rui's bedside.
"Rui Rui, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing what sounded like He Muchen's voice, Zhou Rui immediately looked up at He Muchen with teary eyes, asking him in disbelief:
"Are you He Muchen? Is it really He Muchen, or am I dreaming?"
He Muchen tenderly wiped away his tears and gently kissed his cheek: "Rui Rui, I am really He Muchen. You are not dreaming. I'm sorry, I will never make you so excited again."
"If you don't want to date me, then don't. Just stay by my side and that's enough."
"Do you know how scared I was when you fell down? I was terrified."
He Muchen was completely stunned by Zhou Rui's sudden appearance. Only he knew how scared he was when he saw Zhou Rui collapse in front of him. He had never been so afraid of anything before, but this time he was terrified.
Zhou Rui hugged He Muchen and sobbed uncontrollably, while He Muchen gently stroked his head to comfort him.
"Sweetie, Rui Rui, we just woke up, don't get too excited,"
Zhou Rui sniffled, taking deep breaths to calm himself down. He kept taking deep breaths and slowly calmed down:
"He Muchen, do you still stand by your word?"
He Muchen affectionately ruffled his hair: "Every word I say to you means the truth."
Zhou Rui sniffled and said, "Then let's start dating."
“I like you, He Muchen. The person I like has always been you. There’s no such thing as you looking like my idol. That’s just to hide my feelings for you.”
"I'm afraid that if you tell me you like me because I'm a boy, you'll think I'm a pervert."
I don't want you to hate me.
He Muchen looked at Zhou Rui, who was earnestly explaining his doubts to him, and said excitedly:
"So when you called me husband on the first day, you really meant I, He Muchen, as your husband, not because I look like someone else."
"Hmm," Zhou Rui nodded seriously. Of course, he was calling you He Muchen!
He Muchen hugged Zhou Rui tightly with excitement, muttering, "That's great, my wife's heart belongs to me too."
"Cough cough..."
"I've brought the report over to you. He's fine, his mind is clear, he just fainted due to excessive emotional excitement." Li Minglin walked up to them with the report.
He Muchen released Zhou Rui, took the report, and breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Zhou Rui had fainted because he was feeling unwell.
Li Minglin chuckled and patted He Muchen on the shoulder teasingly: "What did you guys do to get so emotional that you fainted? Young man, are you that tough?"
Zhou Rui blushed and lowered his head in embarrassment. Li Minglin laughed when he saw Zhou Rui's expression.
Just as He Muchen was about to say something, his phone rang. It was his manager, Sister Hong, calling. He Muchen gently rubbed Zhou Rui's head.
"Honey, I'm going out to take this call and heat up your food. Wait here for a bit."
Zhou Rui nodded obediently, while Li Minglin was shocked. What the hell? It's only been a few days since we last met, and He Muchen's brain has gone malfunction too?
He Muchen said to the dazed Li Minglin, "Dr. Li, are you free? Aren't you going to your shift?"
"I'm not on duty today, and I only have a few minutes left before I get off work. I need to borrow your place to hide." Li Minglin said with a smile.
He Muchen said "Oh," and went out to answer the phone, leaving Li Minglin and Zhou Rui alone in the ward. Seeing that He Muchen had left, Li Minglin asked:
What is your relationship now?
"Why is He Muchen calling you 'wife'? Is he really pretending to be your husband just to play along?"
"Dr. Li, what I want to say is that I am not sick at all, so how can you say that I am impersonating my husband?"
Zhou Rui said with a smile, "He is my husband."
"You two are together? You've only known each other for a short time, haven't you?" Li Minglin asked in surprise.
"Yes, we haven't known each other for very long, but I've liked him for a long time. I hope Dr. Li can keep this a secret. Honey, my profession is special." Zhou Rui smiled sweetly and happily.
Li Minglin was stunned again when he saw Zhou Rui smiling sweetly. His smile was so handsome. No wonder He Chou Gou was so easily won over by him.
If it were me, I don't think I could hold out for long either. I'd probably only last half a day before agreeing to be his boyfriend.
Sigh! When will I ever be able to date someone as beautiful as me?!
"Dr. Li, Dr. Li..." Zhou Rui waved his hand in front of him.
"Ahem, of course, I won't reveal my relationship with Mu Chen."
"Dr. Li, I still feel that all of this happened too suddenly, it's a bit unreal, like a dream," Zhou Rui sighed.
"That's because you're moving too fast, it's a bit unreal. And He Muchen just happens to have a bit of a dreamlike quality about him."
"It's normal that you can't believe it; I understand how you feel."
Zhou Rui excitedly grabbed Li Minglin's arm and said, "Dr. Li, you're absolutely right. Being with my husband is like a dream. I always want to indulge in it, but I also want someone to slap me to see if it's real."
Li Minglin was being pulled by the arm by Zhou Rui, and seeing that he was exactly the kind of person she liked, her heart was pounding with nervousness.
Li Minglin joked, "You don't want me to slap you, do you? If so, I'll reluctantly take off my white coat and help you verify whether this is real or just a dream."
