Xu Nuo followed He Yan in through the side door, and after taking several detours like in a spy movie, they finally took the internal elevator from the hospital's laboratory to the 21st floor.
The elevator opened with a ding dong, and Xu Nuo instinctively shuddered out of nervousness. The layout of the 21st floor was more spacious, and the smell of disinfectant was also very faint. There were green plants arranged in an orderly manner on both sides of the corridor. It did not look like a hospital, but more like a hotel with minimalist decoration.
"Chairman," a young man in a white coat walked over from the workbench on the left side of the elevator, nodded slightly at He Yan, and his eyes lingered on Xu Nuo for a moment.
"Well, how is A Nian today?" He Yan nodded at him, then turned sideways to reveal Xu Nuo behind her, "Children we meet on the road, come and see A Nian together."
"It's about the same as yesterday, all the values are very stable," the doctor answered her question concisely and nodded to Xu Nuo.
Around the workbench is Jiang Sinian’s ward, which has a huge glass window like the intensive care unit in TV dramas, so you can see the people inside from the outside.
The ward was very large and filled with various instruments that Xu Nuo was unfamiliar with. Some of them had several wires extending out and were connected to Jiang Sinian who was lying on the bed.
Xu Nuo recognized him almost immediately. The constant companionship of several lifetimes allowed him to easily spot his lover, even though there was a layer of glass between them, even though he couldn't even see his face clearly at first glance, even though his lover, in a coma, hadn't made a single movement or expression...
Xu Nuo just knew that he was coming.
"What's going on?" He Yan took out a handkerchief from her bag and wiped the tears of the heartbroken boy next to her. She even had the heart to tease him, "Xu Nuo, dear, why are you crying more sadly than me, your mother?"
Xu Nuo touched his eye sockets in a daze, only to feel a wet touch. It turned out that he had cried so miserably without realizing it.
"Sorry...Auntie," Xu Nuo said, and the crying tone in his voice scared even him.
He Yan sighed and wiped the tears from his face, "So you really know A Nian... Don't cry anymore."
Xu Nuo hummed sullenly and said sorry, as if he was afraid that He Yan would also be infected by his emotions.
666 silently curled up in his arms and patted him gently with her paw to comfort him.
"Chairman... Mr. Jiang's health values have just fluctuated. He seems to be able to sense the outside world..." The doctor held up the tablet, his eyes fixed on the changing graphs. "This is the first time in a while!"
He Yan didn't understand what was said, but when she heard what the doctor said, her fingertips even trembled, and she couldn't even point steadily at the words on the screen. "What do you mean... Has Anian responded?"
"According to the statistics, that's the case," the doctor said, pushing up his glasses. "This is a good sign."
The woman clasped her hands together like an ordinary mother, as if she was praying or giving thanks, "Anian..."
Xu Nuo stood there, his heart aching uncontrollably. The man on the hospital bed was pale, with visible veins on the back of his hand. He had appeared in different identities for so many days, but he was always indestructible and omnipotent. He was Xu Nuo's patron saint. Even when he left the world, Xu Nuo was always walking in front of him.
This was the first time Xu Nuo faced him in such a vulnerable state.
"66...can you detect his physical condition?"
"Yes! Jiang Sinian has been conscious for longer periods of time recently, and his various functions are recovering. He will be able to wake up in about a month, but there will be inevitable sequelae."
"Then... can the skill of 'Resurrection' be used on him?"
"Of course! After using it on him, Jiang Sinian will wake up within a day, and his recovery ability will be enhanced. There will be no sequelae or anything."
He Yan wiped her eyes with tears of joy and rubbed Xu Nuo's head, "Why did A Nian react as soon as Nuo Nuo came? Is Nuo Nuo our family's lucky star?"
Xu Nuo wiped his eyes carelessly, nodded with a proud look, and said "hmm" heavily, "Jiang Sinian will wake up soon..."
He Yan smiled even more and said softly, "Good boy."
"66, please help me redeem the skill 'Resurrection'."
"You're not considering it anymore?" 666 looked up at him. "You don't want to act anymore? You have many other skills... You earned them through hard work."
"I won't think about it anymore. I want this one." Xu Nuo looked at it, tears glistening in his eyes. "I also want to thank 66 for giving me the opportunity to complete tasks and earn points..."
666 didn't understand human emotions, but it obediently exchanged its skills according to its host's request and threw them on Jiang Sinian, "The skills are about to take effect."
"Hmm..." Xu Nuo raised the corner of his mouth, but tears fell first, "Thank you 66."
He Yan couldn't stay here for too long because Jiang Group still needed people, so she had to come here during her lunch break every day.
"Auntie...can I still come?" Xu Nuo followed He Yan, feeling a little embarrassed, but he had to ask shamelessly.
"Yes, of course," He Yan said with a bright smile, "Doctor Xie knows you now. Maybe if you come more often, A-Nian will get better faster."
Xu Nuo nodded, and finally looked back at the man lying behind the glass before following He Yan away.
…
Jiang Sinian had a dream. It was cold and dark. He couldn't move or see clearly. All he could think about was the horrible face of the driver on the other side of the road, who was desperately trying to escape the car accident, and the malicious grins of those people.
He was like a drowning man, waiting for death in a daze.
But one day, a person came to him and has been with him ever since.
The man stayed very close to him, sometimes even going so far as to hug him. Although he couldn't see his face clearly or hear his voice distinctly, Jiang Sinian instinctively accepted his presence and even felt happy about his proximity.
Every time he came closer, that cold feeling would be dispelled. He was like a little sun, bright and warm. She didn't mind that he couldn't give any response, but just stuck to him and hugged him.
Jiang Sinian liked him, liked him to death. He always wanted to open his eyes or arms to respond to his little gestures and express the love that was about to burst out of his heart. Unfortunately, he couldn't do any of them.
He found that the longer the little sun stayed with him, the more energy he seemed to have. Gradually, he could hardly remember those painful memories, and his whole body felt light and comfortable.
But one day, the little sun suddenly left, and he was left alone in the darkness again. However, this time the darkness was no longer so scary. He was no longer surrounded by a desolate void, and he could hear some sounds.
There was the occasional "beeping" sound of the instrument, the mother's indistinct whispers and sobs, and the hushed conversations between the doctor and the nurse.
Jiang Sinian felt that he was about to break free. He seemed to feel the approach of the little sun again. A strange power suddenly surged into his body, and the darkness around him suddenly could not restrain him.
Wait for me, Jiang Sinian said silently.
