In the 1960s, the wedding
The two entered the ward, stood beside the bed, and looked at the unconscious He Liyuan.
Tao Yuan used the system to confirm that his lover's soul had entered this body, but this body was too badly injured and he couldn't wake up immediately.
Tao Yuan held He Liyuan's wrist and carefully felt his pulse.
Su Lan watched his movements and asked in confusion, "Have you studied Chinese medicine?"
"My grandfather was a Chinese medicine practitioner. When I was little, I learned some from him. After he passed away, I read the medical books he left behind and studied and learned on my own."
Su Lan suddenly remembered that her Yue family relative, Ruqing's grandfather, had once been a renowned Chinese medicine practitioner, known as a miracle doctor. When she was young, his reputation was immense. Later, she heard, he grew old, and his daughter suddenly passed away. Overwhelmed by grief, he retreated into seclusion, making him difficult for outsiders to find.
"How long has your grandfather been dead?" Su Lan asked.
"It's been seven or eight years," said Tao Yuan.
Su Lan sighed regretfully. He was truly a great doctor. If he were still alive, he might be able to wake Li Yuan up.
Tao Yuan was just thinking about how to wake He Liyuan when a sudden flash of inspiration struck him: the space within the system. That suddenly appearing space must have been used by him to rescue He Liyuan. He couldn't help but sigh at how diligently this system had gone about helping him.
The person who was invited to take care of He Liyuan arrived. He brought hot water. Su Lan wet the towel and prepared to wipe He Liyuan's face.
Tao Yuan walked over, took the towel and said, "Let me do it."
Su Lan was stunned for a moment. Tao Yuan had already walked to the bedside with a towel and started to wipe He Liyuan's face.
Su Lan was touched by his careful and serious look. He saw that Li Yuan was not afraid and was willing to take the initiative to take care of him. This thought alone was enough to make their family grateful.
Tao Yuan helped him wipe his face and neck, then his hands, and then said to Su Lan, "Mom, I want to put another bed in this ward, and I will stay here to take care of him at night. From now on, I will take care of him."
Su Lan was stunned again, and it took a while for her to come back to her senses and said, "Ruqing, Mom knows you mean well, but you really don't need to do this. After all, you still have to find someone to marry in two years."
"I don't plan to get married a second time. From the beginning, I never thought about divorce." Tao Yuan looked at her and said seriously.
"Li Yuan, no matter... no matter whether he wakes up or not, he can't give you happiness." Su Lan looked at her son's shattered face, her heart breaking. If possible, she wished she could trade places with her son and bear all this herself.
"He can do it." Tao Yuan said, "Happiness is not one-sided, but given by both parties. I treat him well now, and he will definitely treat me well in the future. And I believe that he will wake up soon and get better soon."
Although as a mother, she still hopes that there will be someone who is truly kind to him and will always be with him and take care of him. But if you put yourself in their shoes, other people's children are also the apple of their parents' eyes. Since they don't blame the Wen family for breaking the engagement, how can they drag another child into a hopeless life?
Because of Tao Yuan's insistence, Su Lan tried to persuade him for a long time but failed. She could only ask someone to put another single bed in the ward and let two guards guard the door.
Since Tao Yuan insisted on staying in the hospital, Su Lan planned to have someone send him some clean clothes and daily necessities after she returned.
The old lady had just finished lunch and the maid was about to push her back to her room to lie down. When she saw Su Lan coming back alone, she asked, "Why didn't Ruqing come back with you?"
"Ruqing said that he wanted to stay in the hospital to take care of Liyuan, and he will spend the night in the hospital from now on." Su Lan said.
"How can we let him stay in the hospital to take care of Liyuan? Why don't we send someone to bring him back!" the old lady said hurriedly.
"I tried to persuade him for a long time, but he just wouldn't come back with me..."
"You're confused. We agreed from the beginning that we'd only keep the child for two years. He came into our family with a clean record, and he'll marry out with a clean record in the future. You asked him to stay in the hospital to take care of Liyuan. If word gets out, there'll be even more gossip when he gets married again. Go get him back!"
"Okay." Su Lan said, "Then I'll go pick him up and you can have a good talk with him. This kid is quite stubborn."
"Go quickly, just tell him I have something to say to him and ask him to come back quickly."
Su Lan had no choice but to ask the driver to take her to the hospital again. When she arrived at the hospital, she took Tao Yuan back as the old lady had said.
Tao Yuan returned to the He family, walked into the old lady's room, stood by the bed and asked, "Grandma, Mom said you have something to tell me?"
"Sit down, grandma will tell you slowly." The old lady looked at him, patted the bed gently, and asked him to sit down.
Tao Yuan sat down beside the old lady's bed.
"When grandma saw you for the first time, she knew you were a good child. I really wronged you by letting you marry Liyuan to bring good luck. It was all because of my insistence. I feel guilty towards your family." The old lady said with moist eyes.
"Grandma, I married Brother Liyuan voluntarily. I, I have liked him since before..." Tao Yuan could only find a reason why he did it voluntarily.
"Listen to grandma and why she insisted on having you marry me," the old lady said. "When Liyuan was only five or six years old, I went to see Master Linghai of Anshan Temple to have his fortune told. He wrote down a birth date and eight characters for me, saying that only by marrying someone with that birth date and eight characters would Liyuan have a safe and smooth life."
The old lady sighed and said, "I told them about this after I came back, but they all said it was feudal superstition and couldn't be believed. I couldn't convince them, so we never mentioned it again. After Liyuan got engaged to the child of the Wen family, I went to see Master Linghai for a divination. The master said that Wenhan and Liyuan were not meant to be together, and that they would never get married. Sooner or later, Wenhan would have to marry someone else. He also said that Liyuan was destined to have a life-and-death calamity. I asked the master if there was any way to break this calamity, and the master said that only by marrying someone who was born on the same date and time as me could this calamity be broken, otherwise it would be impossible to get over it."
"Everything the master said came true. Liyuan nearly died on the battlefield. Although he was sent back with his last breath, he remained unconscious. I remembered the master's words and asked people to check the birth records of major hospitals. Only your birth time matched the one written by the master. I said I wanted you to come and bring good luck, but they all disagreed. In fact, I also knew in my heart that I was harming you by doing this... But even if there was even a slight hope, as long as it could bring Liyuan back to life, I wanted to give it a try."
"I've made an agreement with Liyuan's grandfather that no matter whether Liyuan can wake up or not, you will only stay for two years. During these two years, you don't have to do anything and you don't have to take care of Liyuan. From now on, you are our child. Even if you get married again, the He family will always be your mother's home and support. You entered our family with a clean record, and you will have to marry with a clean record in the future. Let others take care of Liyuan."
"I really married Brother Liyuan voluntarily, and I really want to take care of him personally..." Tao Yuan felt helpless about their obstruction.
"You are still young and don't know the importance of some things. Grandma is grateful to you and treats you as her own grandson, so she has to make plans for you. Letting you marry into my family has already harmed you. I don't have much time left in this life, but even until my death, I will feel guilty and must not ruin you again. You should listen to Grandma and stay home from now on. You can read a book or talk to Grandma when you have nothing to do. Grandma knows a lot of stories from the past and will tell them to you slowly in the future.
Because the old lady insisted on not letting Tao Yuan stay overnight in the hospital, Tao Yuan had no choice but to go to the hospital to take care of He Liyuan during the day and then take a bus back to He's house in the afternoon.
After learning how to use the space, Tao Yuan would take some spring water from the space every day, dilute it, and give it to He Liyuan in small amounts. There was a warning in the space that this spring water was too strong and could not be used too much at once. It had to be absorbed slowly, as excessive use could lead to sudden death.
Tao Yuan used the medicine on him for more than half a month, and took his pulse every day. He could feel that he was gradually getting better.
Tao Yuan sat by the window reading a book on some medical techniques left by the original owner's grandfather, which the original owner particularly enjoyed studying. The days of waiting for He Liyuan to wake up were extremely boring, so he just read it casually to pass the time.
He Liyuan felt particularly uncomfortable. The sound of artillery fire seemed to still echo in his ears. He wondered, am I still on the battlefield? Am I not dead yet?
As the sound of gunfire faded away, his body ached. He strained to open his eyes, trying to see where he was. Was he in the ruins destroyed by the bombing, or in the army medical center?
As soon as he opened his eyes a little, he was stung by the sunlight and closed them immediately. After several attempts, he finally opened his eyes a little bit.
In the sunshine, a young man with delicate features sat, holding a book. He looked as beautiful as a painting. He Liyuan was stunned. He didn't understand why, he was still on the battlefield in the previous second, and then he saw such a beautiful scene in front of him in the next second.
After surviving the disaster, He Liyuan remembered the scene he saw for the first time for the rest of his life. Years later, no matter when or where he was, whenever he thought of this scene, he felt happy and beautiful.
Tao Yuan habitually glanced at He Liyuan and found that his eyes were half open. He was stunned for a moment, then stood up, walked to the bed and squatted down, smiled and stroked his face and said, "Are you awake?"
Who is he? Why is he looking at me so tenderly and smiling so beautifully?
Tao Yuan knew that he had just woken up and needed some time to recover. He stood up and walked to the door, opened it and walked out, saying to the guards outside, "Brother Liyuan is awake. Go notify the doctor and call the He family."
The guard was stunned for a few seconds, then rushed out immediately.
In less than half an hour, the He family arrived at the hospital, even Mrs. He came in a wheelchair. The whole family gathered around the bed. Su Lan held He Liyuan's hand, tears streaming down her face.
He Liyuan was still unable to speak and could only make simple sounds. He probably already knew what was happening to him. It turned out that he had been in a coma for such a long time.
What He Liyuan needed most now was rest and he couldn't be disturbed for too long, so after seeing him, the others left reluctantly, and only Su Lan and Tao Yuan stayed.
When Su Lan saw He Liyuan looking at Tao Yuan, she remembered that she hadn't introduced Tao Yuan to him yet. She patted her head and said, "Look at my brain. I forgot the most important people in my excitement. Liyuan, this is Ruqing. You have already obtained the marriage certificate. When you were unconscious... Forget it, you just woke up. You should rest well now. The situation is a bit complicated. When you feel better, Mom will tell you in detail."
He Liyuan wondered, how come he had a wife the moment he woke up? He remembered he had a fiancée, but she didn't look like this, did she? Her name wasn't even this, so what was it?
Su Lan looked at him and said, "Mom knows you must be feeling very uncomfortable right now, but you have been strong and brave since you were a child, and you have amazing perseverance. Mom believes that you will get better soon, and you must have confidence in yourself."
He Liyuan nodded. What he lacked the most was perseverance and confidence.
"Then you should have a good rest. Mom will come to see you tomorrow." Su Lan stood up and said to Tao Yuan, "Ruqing, let's go back."
"Mom, you go back first. I'll stay with him and go back in the afternoon." Tao Yuan said.
"Okay then." Su Lan patted his hands and said, "If you need anything, ask the guards to call home, or ask them to go directly to the house to get it."
"Okay." Tao Yuan nodded.
After sending Su Lan away, Tao Yuan closed the door, walked to the bed and sat down, looked at He Liyuan and said, "I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart, but you need to rest well now and work hard to recover. You shouldn't worry about other things. When you feel better, we will tell you everything you want to know."
He Liyuan looked at Tao Yuan and thought to himself that he suddenly had a wife, but it was obviously not his previous fiancée. Something must have happened during his coma. Although he didn't care who his wife was, he wouldn't just pick anyone, so he asked his family to help him choose a suitable one. Since the person in front of him was chosen by his family, he didn't have much to say.
It was almost afternoon when Tao Yuan went to get some water so that he could wipe his body.
When Tao Yuan was about to take off his pants, He Li's fingers moved noticeably. He subconsciously wanted to stop him, but he couldn't move now, so it was impossible to stop him.
Tao Yuan glanced at him, without stopping his hands, and continued to take off his pants, then helped him wipe his body. He did all these things secretly without the knowledge of the He family.
As long as He Liyuan could remember, he had always taken a bath by himself, never needing help from others. But now that he couldn't move, he couldn't do it without help from others. Since this person was his wife, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her doing this for him, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.
He Liyuan stared at Tao Yuan's neck. On the side of his neck was a red mole, like a blood bead. His skin was white, his neck was graceful, and even that red mole looked alluring. And that red mole was proof of his identity.
He suddenly remembered that his previous fiancée was also a bro. Aren't there fewer and fewer bros these days, with only a few hundred in the entire country? How come both his ex-fiancée and his current wife were bros?
After that, Tao Yuan still came every day and helped him wipe his body every day.
After another ten days or so, He Liyuan had gotten used to it. The two would occasionally talk, but neither of them was a talkative person, so most of the time, they remained silent.
Whenever He Liyuan woke up and turned around to see his little wife, he would feel an inexplicable sense of security.
