Chapter 335 It's good that you're still here.
Two years later.
A Ferrari pulled up in front of a secluded private sanatorium, and a tall, clean-cut, slender man got out.
It was Yan Nuo who experienced a dramatic upheaval in the past two years, a life-altering experience.
But at this moment, his young face finally showed some vitality and spirit.
He entered, and after the guards at the entrance checked him, they let him through. Only after passing the final checkpoint did he realize that he wasn't the only one who had arrived.
Zhao Qi, Song Fei, Fang Yiling, Fang Han, and other young people are all here.
After greeting everyone, Yan Nuo asked nervously, "Is he really awake?"
All eyes turned to Fang Han, who was the only one here who could have contact with Mr. Li.
A year ago, Yan Nuo's mother passed away because her body was completely exhausted and she could not be cured by medicine.
In his final moments, his mother finally regained consciousness for a brief while, her complex emotions falling upon Yan Nuo. At that moment, Yan Nuo felt as if a thousand pounds were weighing on his shoulders, and he dared not step forward.
He knew that his mother had given birth to him under Yan Zhengfeng's coaxing and abduction, and that she might not even have been fully conscious when she celebrated his birthday as a child.
Furthermore, the death of Ouyang Jing's boyfriend, Xu Fan, in the Yan family completely crushed Ouyang Jing, making her a figure she would never forgive anyone in the Yan family.
Yan Nuo didn't know what Ouyang Jing's feelings were towards him, or whether Ouyang Jing, once she regained her senses, would want to strangle this wicked son.
Sure enough, only at the very last moment did Ouyang Jing sigh and say her only words to him.
"Go live your own life, child."
At that moment, Yan Nuo burst into tears.
Ouyang Jing finally softened and raised her aged, bony hand to stroke his face.
The warmth of his palm slowly faded, and he eventually slid down, never to be lifted again.
Yan Nuo lay on her mother's body, crying like a child who had lost his home.
After Ouyang Jing left, his life seemed to collapse, and he didn't recover until three months after Ouyang Jing's burial.
Zhao Qi tried to visit several times, but was turned away each time. Finally, Zhao Qi ordered his men to remove the door panels and drag out the man, who was now like a lump of mud.
Do you want to die?
Zhao Qi frowned and asked him.
They withdrew from the professional league, the team withdrew, and they paid a huge sum in breach of contract fees.
However, things didn't go as planned. Even though Yan Nuo felt that the Yan family's money was dirty, all the movable and immovable assets and investments that the Yan family hadn't yet disposed of ended up in his name.
He has plenty of money now, but he feels that life is even more meaningless.
Yan Nuo leaned against the car window and gagged, finally saying with a cold laugh, "Don't I even have the right to die now?"
Zhao Qi, unable to bear it any longer, got out of the car, dragged him out, and beat him up.
Yan Nuo didn't fight back at first, but later he got angry and the two fought fiercely in the street until passersby called the police.
Finally, after being locked up in the police station, Yan Nuo seemed to sober up a bit and asked Zhao Qi, "What did you come to see me for today?"
Zhao Qi sneered, his lips turning purple, probably thinking he was an idiot and not wanting to say a word.
After both of them were pulled out, Zhao Qi picked up his coat and turned to leave, but Yan Nuo felt guilty and followed him in his car, probably wanting to apologize.
Zhao Qi probably spotted him too, honking his horn several times, but couldn't shake him off.
He then followed Zhao Qi to the secluded sanatorium. Zhao Qi saw him get out of the car from afar, walked in with a cold and indifferent face, and Yan Nuo was obviously blocked outside by the bodyguards.
He was only led inside by Fang Han and Fang Yiling when they happened to come to visit him that day.
Then Yan Nuo learned that Fang Ke had been asleep for more than a year for unknown reasons.
Yan Nuo was jolted awake as if struck on the head.
Over the past year, he had been so focused on taking care of his mother that he had no energy to attend to anything else. After Ouyang Jing left, he was like a walking corpse, no longer caring about the people and things around him, and even contemplating suicide.
He even assumed that Fang Ke had already made a lifelong commitment to another man and was living happily, so she would no longer have any contact with him. He also thought that his relationship was over and he never inquired about her again.
But just as he was living a life of despair, Fang Ke was lying on this cold hospital bed, monitored by cold medical equipment, with no one to care for him.
"How could this happen..." he choked out.
He probably had no other relatives in the world, except for Fang Ke, who was the only person willing to stand up for him at that time.
Fang Ke helped him fight for the family property, helped him save his mother, helped him tear apart all the ugliness of the Yan family, and gave him a glimmer of hope for survival.
When Fang Ke got into trouble, he once again only cared about himself.
Yan Nuo was somewhat depressed, because he was almost in tears. At this moment, when he saw Fang Ke lying on the bed with her eyes closed through the glass, his eyes really stung and turned red.
How could he be so useless and arrogant, unable to protect anyone?
"Cry, cry, cry! What good are you all day long besides crying?"
Zhao Qi cursed him harshly.
"Even if you want to die now, wait until your senior wakes up before you die. Don't you have any idea how much you owe her?"
Yan Nuo forced back his tears. Perhaps Zhao Qi wanted to provoke him and give him another source of spiritual support in his life.
But Zhao Qi was right. He owed Fang Ke too much. How could he just die so pathetically if he couldn't see Fang Ke wake up?
Sometimes, a change in belief can quickly reshape a person's character and help them regain their strength.
Yan Nuo looked at the sterile ward behind the glass window. Fang Ke looked as if she were asleep, her face even rosy. She really looked like Sleeping Beauty from a fairy tale.
"The tests couldn't find any problems, and all her bodily functions were normal, but she just wouldn't wake up."
As Yan Nuo sat down with the others, she asked, as if in a trance, "Who was the last person Senior Sister contacted? Yes... what about her boyfriend?"
A moment of silence fell over everyone before Fang Yiling said coldly, "They've disappeared."
Fang Yiling said she's missing, so she really can't be found.
"...Then how did you discover that she had become... unconscious?"
Yan Nuo resisted saying the words "vegetative state," feeling as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart.
Fang Han began, "A high-ranking gentleman contacted me. His surname is Li. Do you know him, Xiao Yan?"
Yan Nuo shook his head, and Zhao Qi chuckled, "I don't even know him, how could he possibly be a match for me?"
Yan Nuo: "..."
In short, after everyone learned the details, they discovered that it was this Mr. Li who had notified Fang Han.
Because Mr. Li was busy with other matters and could not stay in Jingzhou indefinitely, he informed Fang Ke's family to come and take over.
Before he left, he left behind the best medical team and the most stringent security force to protect Fang Ke day and night.
Later, Song Fei and the others, who had been unable to contact Fang Ke, also went to the Fang family and were brought there by Fang Han.
Another year passed, and the sensational case involving the Xiao and Yi families in Jingzhou was about to be adjudicated, but the man still hadn't woken up.
The once-powerful princes have either gone in or out, leaving everyone to lament the changes that have occurred.
However, it was at this moment that everyone realized that the top leader in charge of this economic crime case involving organized crime and capital smuggling was also surnamed Li.
That day, Yan Nuo had just gotten up when he received a call from Song Fei.
Over the course of a year, their relationship grew much closer, and Song Fei now addresses him by his full name.
"Yan Nuo!!! Fang Bao is awake!!!"
"...Say that again?"
Yan Nuo's mind went blank for a moment, and then he scrambled out of the house, bumping his head on the door frame.
His Ferrari sped along, arriving at the sanatorium entrance in just 15 minutes.
Panting heavily, he asked everyone, "Are you really awake?"
The ward that is usually open to visitors was indeed empty, with only a clean bed with folded sheets and blankets remaining.
A jade vase, filled with fresh flowers, sits on the bedside table.
Yan Nuo looked at it and couldn't help but feel his eyes well up again; he hadn't cried in a long time.
Fang Han nodded amidst the expectant and nervous gazes of the crowd.
“Mr. Li informed me that he asked me to bring you here today. My younger sister woke up three days ago and has probably been doing rehabilitation these past few days.”
Instantly, some people clutched their hearts, some covered their mouths, some hugged, and some spun around.
Yan Nuo was also excited and wanted to hug Zhao Qi, but Zhao Qi pushed her away in disgust.
Zhao Qi waited anxiously at the gate, while Yan Nuo smiled, walked over, and said, "Congratulations."
Zhao Qi: "?"
"Yes has disappeared, you can take over now."
Zhao Qi looked at him like he was an idiot, "Crazy... What, does this mean you finally have the self-awareness and aren't going to pursue him anymore?"
Yan Nuo crossed his arms, his eyes clear and determined as if he were about to join the Party.
"From now on, Fang Ke will be my own sister."
"…………"
"I've realized that my feelings for my senior have changed. Now all I want to do is protect her for the rest of my life."
"You're fucking innocent after getting the benefit, get lost."
As everyone waited excitedly, they finally heard the sound of wheels rolling over the floor.
The nurse was seen pushing an empty wheelchair, which disappointed everyone. But when they saw that there was someone standing behind the nurse, their eyes widened in surprise.
Yes, that's acceptable!
Fang Ke's face had turned snow-white from prolonged lack of sunlight.
Her hair had grown much longer, draped over her shoulders. As she walked in against the sunlight, her delicate features blended into the light, making her look like a divine messenger who had mistakenly entered the mortal realm, not at all like a real person.
Everyone fell silent, looking at Fang Ke as if she were a stranger and a distant figure.
She was still wearing her hospital gown, with a loose cardigan draped over it; the oversized gown hung loosely on her.
During the moment of silence, her gaze fell upon them, moving evenly over each of their faces.
After a long while, she finally revealed a soft smile, a smile that shortened the stagnant distance between everyone.
"So many people, is it Chinese New Year today?"
This familiar lame joke finally made people realize that the person in front of them was Fang Ke.
Song Fei rushed out first, hugged Fang Ke tightly, and cried so hard that her makeup was ruined, "Ahhhhh, Fang Bao!"
The others followed closely behind, and Fang Ke put his arm around her. He noticed several men standing nearby who were hesitant to approach her but didn't dare to.
She chuckled, "You guys... haven't changed much. But who's this handsome young man? Did you specially find a pure and innocent guy to welcome me back? Feifei, you know me too well..."
Others: "..."
The innocent-looking male freshman blushed instantly, "Sis... I'm Yi Ling."
Fang Ke: "..."
Two years is neither long nor short.
Fang Ke looked at Fang Yiling, who had grown to be over 1.8 meters tall and taller than her. The immaturity had faded from his face, and he had transformed into a handsome young man from an elite academic background.
At this moment, she finally felt the true speed at which time was passing.
She couldn't help but reach out and pinch Fang Yiling's cheek, sighing softly, "It's been so long already."
She spoke with rare sentimentality, "It's so good that you're all still here."
