Chapter 876: Coma (Part 1)
Ruan Qi lost her five senses once again, and the situation was even more serious than the time ten years ago.
Ten years ago, even though her five senses had been blocked, her mind was clear. It was just that the stimulation was so intense that she couldn't make a sound or hear what others were saying. But she still wanted to respond intellectually.
But this time it's different.
This time, Ruan Qi's brain also fell into a deep sleep.
This means that Ruan Qi is actively avoiding, and whether rationally or subconsciously, she does not want to wake up.
Nie Beilou: "The shock Xiaoqi experienced this time was greater than any other time before. Based on the brain imaging, she should have recovered her memory."
Everyone in the Ruan family changed their expressions.
Ruan Munan: "So... Xiao Qi doesn't want to wake up because he has recovered his memory?"
Nie Beilou nodded: "That's about right."
The atmosphere in the corridor suddenly became solemn.
Physical illness can be cured, but if a person doesn’t want to wake up and face reality, even a miracle doctor who can bring the dead back to life cannot cure him.
"Then what should we do now? Can we just watch Xiaoqi sleep forever?" Yang Liu asked Nie Beilou with a sob.
Nie Beilou pondered for a moment and said, "I'll contact Senior Brother Chu. He's proficient in hypnosis. Let's see if he can wake Xiao Qi up."
…
Chu Yujiang came very quickly.
Ruan Qi is currently staying in an independent ward in the ICU, and family members are not allowed to visit at will. Xi Jiu greeted the director of the Third Hospital and obtained access permits for Chu Yujiang and Nie Beilou.
Chu Yujiang and Nie Beilou put on sterile suits and entered the ward under the guidance of the nurse.
They stayed in there for a full two hours.
Two hours later, the two men emerged exhausted. Seeing their expressions, the Ruan family members' hearts sank.
"Hypnosis has no effect?" Yang Liu asked nervously.
Nie Beilou frowned and nodded.
"Xiao Qi doesn't receive any external sounds. Senior Brother Chu tried to connect with her spiritual power but failed."
Nie Beilou originally thought that Chu Yujiang had hypnotized Ruan Qi many times, and Ruan Qi should have great trust in his mental power.
But in the past two hours, Chu Yujiang tried to communicate with Ruan Qi through his mental power dozens of times, but all of them failed.
Ruan Qi simply refused to accept anything from the outside world and locked herself away.
This hypnosis result made Nie Beilou and Chu Yujiang feel heavy-hearted.
Chu Yujiang: "Xiao Qi's mental strength is too strong, and her sea of consciousness is too fragile. In order to protect her sea of consciousness, I can't forcibly break through her consciousness. I can only communicate with her step by step. But she completely refuses to communicate with me."
"Is there no other way?" Yang Liu asked with red eyes.
Chu Yujiang shook his head: "She refuses to wake up, there's nothing anyone can do. If that doesn't work, try talking to her more. If she hears her family calling her, she might want to wake up."
Having said that, everyone knows that the chance of waking Ruan Qi up in this way is too small.
Unless she is willing to wake up, everything will be in vain.
…
That night, all the Ruan family members stayed in the hospital.
Ruan Qi lay sleeping in the ICU, while the Ruan family members waited in agony in the hallway. They endured the entire night, and after the 24-hour observation period, Ruan Qi was finally transferred to a regular ward.
In the ward, the white curtains were drawn, and the early summer breeze blew in through the half-open window.
Today is the third day after the operation.
Ruan Qi's head injury and fractures recovered well, and the abrasions on her body caused by falling from the building had also scabbed over.
But she never woke up.
The frail little girl seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep forever, lying silently on the hospital bed. No matter how people called her, she did not open her eyes.
Yang Liu called her by the bedside all night long, her eyes were swollen from crying, and finally her body couldn't bear it anymore and she fainted.
Not only Yang Liu, but also Ruan Fengmian, Ruan Munan, and Xi Jiu all looked haggard. The youngest, Nie Heng, cried again and again. Even the tough-minded Nie Beilou sat by Ruan Qi's bedside for an entire day, finally leaving with tears in his eyes.
The happiness and joy of the Ruan family also fell into a deep sleep as Ruan Qi fell asleep.
"It's already the third day, why hasn't Senior Sister woken up yet? Senior Sister, please wake up soon, your fans are asking you online."
Nie Heng sat beside the bed, whispering to the sleeping Ruan Qi.
Ever since Ruan Qi's accident, the Marshmallows had been keeping an eye on her situation. However, the little girl remained unconscious, so Shen Wenqian had no way of reporting her safety, and the Marshmallows had no way of getting the latest news about Ruan Qi.
This made everyone more and more panicked.
Why hasn't Shen Wenqian reported that he's safe yet?
Did something really happen to Softbao?
Is she still not awake?
Fans were filled with worry, visiting Shen Wenqian and Jinhua Entertainment's Weibo accounts daily to inquire about Ruan Qi's condition. The media also sensed something was amiss and began to make covert moves, hoping to infiltrate the hospital and gather firsthand information.
Online public opinion is becoming increasingly agitated.
Shen Wenqian endured for three days, but couldn't bear it any longer and ran to the hospital with an unshaven beard.
"There are paparazzi everywhere near the hospital right now, and there are also many people online trying to stir up trouble, spreading rumors that Xiaoqi is dying. If we don't give us a response, fans and netizens will riot at any time."
Shen Wenqian sat on the sofa in the ward and handed screenshots of online public opinion in recent days to Xi Jiu and Ruan Munan.
Ruan Munan looked at the marketing accounts and netizens' various speculations about Ruan Qi, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Nonsense! Xiao Qi was recovering well, how could he be gone?"
Seeing him angry, Shen Wenqian quickly tried to appease him: "Everyone doesn't know Xiaoqi's true situation, so they're bound to overestimate it. I think, why don't you post a Weibo to explain it? If everyone knows the situation, they won't say anything nonsense."
#Popular female star is in coma#, this kind of news is bound to cause a lot of discussion among people.
The Ruan family didn't want Ruan Qi to be talked about, so they kept the news secret and didn't make it public.
But now, more and more marketing accounts are starting to stir up trouble. If I don't clarify, someone might start spreading rumors tomorrow that Ruan Qi's seventh day has arrived.
The Ruan family could not tolerate such an unlucky rumor.
So, Ruan Munan and Xi Jiu thought for a moment and accepted Shen Wenqian's proposal.
"Well, then let's just reveal the truth. Just say that Xiao Qi suffered a head injury, the blood has not yet cleared, and he's unconscious. Don't tell anyone about things like his spiritual consciousness."
Shen Wenqian knew what was going on and quickly edited the Weibo post.
He sent out the Weibo post.
In less than ten minutes, the topic #Ran Qi is in a coma# ignited the entire Internet.
Not only fans, but even passers-by cannot accept this fact.
[I can't believe it! Ruan Qi just finished filming a David Lodge movie and hasn't even won an Oscar yet. How could she be unconscious?!]
