Chapter 46 Welcome Home Anytime
Xiao Jingyan looked at the figure rushing out and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He had been injured many times before, but none as serious as this time. The moment he fell down, he thought he would never stand up again and might really leave this world.
Unexpectedly, it was like he had a dream and slept for a long time. After he fell down, his consciousness became a little fuzzy. At first, he seemed to hear his teammates calling him, and then it was as if his consciousness entered a dark space. He vaguely heard someone talking in his ear.
He felt that the voice was somewhat familiar and tried hard to hear it clearly. When he opened his eyes blearily, he vaguely saw a white figure, and then a group of white figures.
He knew that the King of Hell had not taken his life, but he was alive again. Then, among the group of white figures, a petite figure that was familiar to him soon squeezed in.
Only then did he realize that the nagging voice that had been disturbing his sleep must have been this little girl.
I haven't seen her for more than three months, and the little girl seems to have grown taller.
But when did she become so talkative? She asked so many questions but didn't even give him a chance to open his mouth. However, she was still so impetuous.
He was immersed in his own thoughts, his eyes always looking in the direction where Lin Nuan had just left.
From those dark eyes, it is hard to guess what he is thinking.
After Lin Nuan hurriedly left the ward, she first found the nurse and asked her to help pay attention to the situation in the ward. Then she went to find the doctor and asked him carefully about what she needed to pay attention to.
Then he borrowed the hospital's phone to call He Yunzhou and his family, telling them the good news that Xiao Jingyan had woken up and passed the critical period.
Lin Nuan returned to the ward with a kettle and found Xiao Jingyan sitting there in a daze with his eyes open.
Although his face still looked very pale, he seemed to be in much better spirits. After all, it was different when a person was lying there awake.
Is this man made of iron? He just woke up after such a major surgery.
I told him to have a good rest before I left. Why is he just sitting there in a daze instead of taking the opportunity to have a good sleep?
"Brother Xiao, what are you thinking about? You just had surgery and you should rest. Why don't you take a nap?"
"I'm worried that this is all a dream and if I close my eyes I'll never wake up again."
"I don't believe you'd worry about that."
"We have all been through the gates of hell, who wouldn't be afraid of death?"
Lin Nuan did not continue the previous topic. If we were to discuss it, there would be a lot to talk about.
She put the kettle on the table and poured some water into the enamel jug.
"I just asked the doctor. You can't eat for at least eight hours after the operation, but you can drink some water. Do you want to drink it?"
"Leave it there. I'm not thirsty now. I seem to have drunk a lot of water when I was unconscious. I'll drink it when I'm thirsty!"
"I'll call home. A lot of people should be coming to see you soon. After knowing that you were in trouble, my dad called Uncle Xiao. If he answered the phone, he would have left. He should be on his way now."
"Um"
Xiao Jingyan nodded, and the smile on his face just now faded a little. The atmosphere in the room became a little stagnant for a moment.
Fortunately, it only lasted for a moment.
"Have you been staying in the hospital?"
Lin Nuan nodded, "My father and I rushed here after receiving the call yesterday. There were also five of your comrades-in-arms at the time. We stayed with you until the surgery was over. Later, many more people came, but you had just had surgery and were in the intensive care unit. The doctor said that your life could be in danger at any time. However, it was useless for more people to stay here, so they all left later.
Originally my dad wanted to stay, but I volunteered to stay and take care of you. After all, I was the only one with nothing to do among so many people, and I was young.
Besides, you don't need family members to accompany you in the intensive care unit. In name, this is to take care of you, but in fact, I just came in and talked to you at noon, hoping to arouse your will to live and make you get better quickly. In total, I didn't stay there for a long time.
The rest of the time I sat on a bench outside the corridor, mainly because I was worried that if there was any emergency, we would be the first to know about it. "
Just ask the nurse about the visit and you'll know. It's impossible to hide it. If you think about it carefully, I didn't say anything that shouldn't be said when I fed him the spiritual spring water.
Maybe he didn't hear it?
He was injured so badly and had such a major operation. He was in a coma after being given anesthesia. Even if he cooperated and was fed in the end, it should be the body's instinct.
Lin Nuan stared at Xiao Jingyan for a long time, but couldn't see anything wrong.
Xiao Jingyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile on his face was different from before, which always made people feel that it was fake. Now it looked gentle and genuine.
"Nuannuan, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Nuan smiled embarrassedly, "It's okay, it's okay. We are a family after all. No need to be so polite."
I started to keep watch since early morning yesterday and stayed up all night. I worked so hard for half a cup of spiritual spring water that I fell asleep while sitting. The chairs in the corridor are really hard! I did not sleep as comfortably as I did at home. It was really hard.
The two had known each other for two years in total, but apart from him teaching her martial arts, they rarely spent time together alone. They were always together as a family, chatting away with each other, rarely feeling awkward and always able to pick up the conversation. Now that there were only the two of them in the ward, Lin Nuan really didn't know what to say for a moment.
The two of them were indeed very familiar with each other, but they did not spend much time together. Most of the time they spent together was during meals, or when one taught the other, in a master-apprentice relationship.
Xiao Jingyan saw her sitting there with a somewhat conflicted look on her face and couldn't help laughing for a moment.
"You have finished the college entrance examination now, right? Are you sure?"
Speaking of this, Lin Nuan raised her chin, "Of course. After such a long period of preparation, if I still don't have such confidence, then I will really be a useless person."
Everyone in her family knew that she wanted to be admitted to Beijing University, and He Yunzhou had been preparing for a transfer back to Beijing early in the morning, so it was not surprising that he asked this question.
Before, when talking about it at the dinner table, He Yunzhou also asked him if he would consider transferring back to Beijing.
In the end, he refused without any hesitation. Lin Nuan still remembered clearly what he said at that time.
He said: "That place is not my home, the army is my home, and I have gotten used to it over the years. I like it here, and staying here makes me more comfortable."
No one tried to persuade her at that time, and it was useless to do so.
Lin Nuan felt that Xiao Jingyan was like a small boat floating on the sea, without roots or wings.
Thinking of the scene at that time, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Xiao, after my college entrance examination results come out and my admission letter arrives, my family will probably return to Beijing. In all of our hearts, you are also our family. Wherever our home is, your home is there. You are always welcome to come home."
