During her dazed state, Wu Youyou remembered very clearly what Shi Zhan had done. Recalling it made her feel shy. Looking at the hickeys on Shi Zhan's neck, her cheeks flushed red. She looked at everyone embarrassedly, pulled the blanket up to cover her head, and made an embarrassed sound from under the covers.
"I'm fine now, you can all leave!"
Wu Zhenyuan realized his daughter was shy, and he laughed heartily, his voice filled with affection.
"Okay, okay, let's go out now!"
Song Lan was worried that Wu Youyou wouldn't be able to handle everything she had been through, so she gave Shi Zhan some advice.
"Shi Zhan, I'm leaving this place to you!"
Shi Zhan nodded, watching them all leave the ward. Then he pulled back Wu Youyou's blanket, gazing tenderly at her beautiful face, his tone very gentle.
"Youyou, they're all gone. Now it's just the two of us!"
Seeing that only she and Shi Zhan remained in the room, Wu Youyou's heart finally broke. If Shi Zhan had arrived any later, she would have truly died, died in that filthy room. Tears streamed silently down Wu Youyou's face as she choked out...
"I was so scared!"
Shi Zhan reached out and wiped away Wu Youyou's tears, looking at her with heartache.
"Youyou, I said I would protect you, and I will! Don't worry, I will find out who harmed you. This Li Yuan will be my pledge of loyalty!"
Hearing the murderous intent in Shi Zhan's tone, Wu Youyou felt a surge of relief. She was grateful to still have Shi Zhan. It took her a while to calm herself. Her eyes flickered as she looked at the hickey on Shi Zhan's neck, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"Um, um, I didn't mean to, I was... I was..."
Wu Youyou was embarrassed and at a loss for words. She didn't know what to say, so she immediately pulled the blanket over her head again.
"Oh dear, this is so embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing!"
Shi Zhan smiled, knowing what Wu Youyou was talking about. Looking at her shy and adorable appearance, Shi Zhan felt a sweet warmth in his heart.
Wu Youyou came to the same hospital as Han Shuzhen. At this time, Wu Maoyan did not leave with Wu Zhenyuan and the others, but stayed in the hospital and went to Han Shuzhen's ward.
The nurse recognized Wu Maoyan and didn't say much. Instead, she gave the visitor space and, before leaving, reminded him to keep his movements quiet, as the patient had just fallen asleep.
Following the nurse's instructions, Wu Maoyan carefully sat down in front of Han Shuzhen's hospital bed and quietly watched her.
The only sound in the ward was the ticking of the testing equipment. Wu Maoyan was somewhat lost in thought, and he didn't know why. When he first saw Han Shuzhen, he felt as if they had known each other for a long time.
He felt that the person he had been waiting for all his life had finally appeared. It was Han Shuzhen lying quietly in front of him, like a princess, sleeping there, waiting for her prince to kiss her awake.
Wu Maoyan wanted to go up and kiss her, but it was only a thought in his mind...
Han Shuzhen felt someone was always by her side. She wanted to see who it was, so she slowly opened her eyes. What came into view was a handsome face with a somewhat cold expression, but his eyes were as gentle as a spring breeze.
Han Shuzhen blinked her eyes. She couldn't speak yet, so she could only express herself by blinking. Was he Youyou's older brother?
Wu Maoyan was very excited because Han Shuzhen had woken up. Watching her blink at him, he whispered...
"You can't speak yet, right?"
Han Shuzhen blinked again.
Wu Maoyan suddenly sounded like a happy young man, his tone a little nervous.
"I am Youyou's older brother, my name is Wu Maoyan. I am very grateful for everything you have done for Youyou. Although I don't know why you and Youyou offended the Xiao family, I will do my best to protect you... um... protect you both!"
Wu Maoyan's sudden naivety made Han Shuzhen very fond of him. She thought to herself, "Youyou's older brother is really cute. Such a simple boy, it's obvious he's never been in a relationship. He's so nervous when talking to girls!"
Han Shuzhen blinked a few more times to show her politeness during their first meeting.
Wu Maoyan looked at Han Shuzhen and continued speaking.
"I know your name, I know some things about you, and I know you don't have a boyfriend, so... so... I'd like to recommend myself! I know I might be being a bit presumptuous, but you can observe me first, and there's no need to rush to reject me!"
This time, Han Shuzhen didn't blink. Instead, she stared wide-eyed at Wu Maoyan in disbelief, thinking to herself, "How could it be that Youyou's older brother likes me?"
Wu Maoyan gradually regained his composure, no longer as nervous as before. He looked into Han Shuzhen's eyes and expressed his emotions word by word.
"Shuzhen, I know you might not believe it, but do you believe in love at first sight? When I unexpectedly stood at the door of the operating room, I didn't know you. I was only there because I was worried about Youyou. When you came out, the moment I saw you, my heart was already with you, and my eyes couldn't look away. I know that the person I've been waiting for is you! If you don't mind my abruptness and are still willing to let me come see you every day, just blink twice!"
Good heavens, what kind of romance is this?
