Upon hearing this, Lei Ting and An Ning quickly changed their clothes. On the way, Allen's anxious face was filled with unease and self-blame, and he held his head, looking like he was blaming himself.
An Ning: "What happened?"
Allen: "It's my fault for not cherishing him enough..."
An Ning: "What symptoms does Liao Qian have?"
Allen: "He had a persistent fever... and was bleeding a lot, so I rushed him to the hospital."
Anning: "Are you still running a fever?"
Allen: "It's burning... but the bleeding has stopped. I'm worried, so I had to call you guys."
Thunder: "Didn't you have a hemorrhoid flare-up? Are you two... again?"
Allen: "My God, even you knew this, but I didn't know, Liao Qian, why didn't you tell me..."
Anning and Leiting exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly. Their lack of self-control had caused Liao Qian, whose health was already poor, to end up in the hospital.
Allen: "He needs surgery, but..."
Thunder: "But what? Are there any good doctors? Find the best doctor in all of New York, I'll pay for it."
Allen: "We've already found the best doctor in all of New York, but...sigh."
Along the way, Allen kept saying "but" and then fell silent, leaving Lei Ting and An Ning speechless. By the time the three arrived at the hospital, Liao Qian had already woken up and had just finished a video call with Grandma Lei. Allen immediately knelt down beside Liao Qian, holding his hand with heartache.
Allen: "My Liao Qian, why didn't you tell me about your hemorrhoids? How much pain you must have been in. I'm so sorry."
Liao Qian: "I don't want to spoil the atmosphere... You're here... Please have a seat..."
Thunder: "What did my grandma say? Are you alright?!"
Liao Qian: "It's nothing, just a minor setback. It'll be fine once it's over."
An Ning: "Liao Qian, let's have the surgery tomorrow!"
Liao Qian: "I..."
Allen: "Surgery, surgery tomorrow, let Guli perform the surgery on you."
Thunder: "I said it's surgery too! Afterwards, you'll need to take some medication to regulate your body."
Liao Qian: "If I have the surgery... Allen... will you dislike me?"
Allen: "How could that be? You are the most precious thing to me."
Allen tenderly knelt beside Liao Qian's hospital bed, holding Liao Qian's hand. The two looked at each other with deep affection, and then two tears fell. Lei Ting and An Ning couldn't bear to watch this scene. Seeing that Liao Qian was alright, the two came out to talk to her.
An Ning: "Lei Ting, Liao Qian... why are you afraid that Allen won't want him!"
Thunder: "I don't know either... but it's probably because Allen has some kind of perfectionist theory!"
Anning: "That's very likely... Can they... get married?"
Thunder: "It's okay here, but not in our house..."
An Ning: "No wonder Liao Qian didn't go back."
Lei Ting: "He hung up the phone as soon as he saw us. My grandma must have scolded him. He doesn't take care of himself at all."
Anning: "He only listens to his grandmother. Sigh... I don't quite understand it, but I respect her."
Lei Ting also called his grandmother to tell her that Liao Qian was hospitalized. Lei's grandmother already knew about it, but she didn't say much. She just told Lei Ting to take good care of Liao Qian and then hung up. Lei Ting and An Ning planned to hire a caregiver to take care of Liao Qian.
Thunder: "We'll hire a caregiver for you. Just take good care of yourself."
Allen: "No, no one is allowed to touch my Liao Qian."
Anning: "But he will need someone to take care of him after the surgery."
Allen: "I can take care of him, I can."
Thunder: "Your hands are for embroidery, can you take care of people? We should find a caregiver!"
Allen: "No...you guys stop talking..."
An Ning: "Alright then..."
Liao Qian: "Stop arguing, I'll recover quickly. Grandma gave me a prescription, and I just need to apply it after the surgery."
Thunder: "I'll help you change your dressing. I've changed it for my dad before."
Allen: "You still can't... Thunder, you can't touch him."
Thunder: "I...I'm his best friend, we grew up together..."
Allen: "No, would you agree if I touched your peace? If you agree, then you can touch Liao Qian!"
Thunder: "Of course I disagree! Fine, fine, I don't care anymore, do whatever you want! Let's go."
An Ning: "Liao Qian, let's come again tomorrow!"
Lei Ting angrily dragged An Ning out of the hospital. The ward was empty now, and Allen tenderly stroked Liao Qian's hands.
Allen: "I'm sorry, if I hurt you, I could have chosen to leave."
Liao Qian: "Let's get married!"
Allen: "What? What did you say?"
Liao Qian: "We'll get married when I recover, right here on the banks of the Thames."
Allen: "Oh my god, Liao Qian."
Allen buried his face in the bedside and cried. Their love had finally come to fruition. The two of them wept with joy. Liao Qian, who was on an IV drip, did not forget to comfort Allen and soothe his blond hair.
An Ning and Lei Ting left the hospital. The city of Niujin was magnificent and brightly lit that night. Just outside the hospital, Lei Ting and An Ning, still feeling uneasy, returned to the ward. They found a person who looked very much like Allen watching them from the ward's living room. Lei Ting went over to speak, but the person left. Lei Ting and An Ning went into the ward, where Liao Qian was still comforting a crying Allen.
Liao Qian: "Didn't you leave?"
Thunder: "I wish I could lie here and suffer in your place, you..."
Liao Qian: "Alright, I'm already like this, stop nagging like your dad..."
Thunder: "If you think I'm nagging, then you should take better care of yourself in the future."
Allen: "It's my fault for not cherishing you, it's my fault for not cherishing you, Liao Qian, I was wrong."
Liao Qian: "You did nothing wrong, I'm fine, some medicine will do the trick."
