Chapter 261 Awake
"He's still not awake." Jian Yan went over and poured him a glass of water. "Chen Ci's medicine has already been started."
Chen Chu nodded: "Don't worry, it's okay, Aci is here."
"Yes." Jian Yan told herself the same thing. How could something happen to someone as wonderful as Ye Qingning?
But at the same time, she felt a strong sense of unease.
This unease, though unfounded, overwhelmed her.
Chen Chu closed his laptop, glanced at his watch, and asked, "It's late. Shall I have the driver take you home?"
"It's okay, I'll wait a bit, just in case... just in case Qingning wakes up."
She sat down in the chair next to Chen Chu and looked up at him, saying, "It's okay, you don't need to worry about me, just do your thing."
The sun had already dipped below the horizon, and only a dark orange-red hue slanted in through the window, casting its light on the white walls and onto her.
Backlit, her entire face was in shadow, making it impossible for Chen Chu to discern her emotions.
So I had to turn on my computer again and quickly send a message to my assistant, asking him to prepare two dinners.
About ten minutes later, as darkness fell, Jian Yan got up and turned on the light. The bright light instantly streamed down, and Chen Chu happened to look up at her.
When their eyes met, Jian Yan was stunned for a moment.
Chen Chu was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown. The bandage on his head had been removed, and only a piece of gauze was still on his forehead, which slightly lowered his appearance. However, his eyes were clear and bright, which inexplicably made Jian Yan's heart beat in a strange rhythm.
Strangely enough, she seemed to have seen Chu Ming's face again in that instant when the light changed from dark to bright.
This time it was a little blurry, as if Chu Ming's image was gradually fading from her mind, and in its place was Chen Chu's appearance.
The ward door was suddenly pushed open at that moment, and Jian Yan quickly lowered her head, feeling her face burning.
Chen Chu's assistant came in carrying two lunch boxes: "Ms. Jian, Mr. Chen Chu, this is dinner prepared for you."
"Ah." Jian Yan was taken aback for a moment: "No need, I'll just go out to eat."
"Let's go together," Chen Chu said with a smile. "Like you said, what if Miss Ye wakes up in a bit?"
Jian Yan pursed her lips and said, "Okay."
The assistant quickly tidied up the small table for Chen Chu and set up the dining table for Jian Yan before quietly leaving.
"Come and eat." Chen Chu opened the lunchbox lid, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Not bad, it's beef noodles."
Jian Yan's eyes lit up: "Okay."
Chen Chu took in her expression and smiled. She really did like noodles.
...
Lin Feiyan stayed by Ye Qingning's side for another night. During this time, Chen Ci came over twice to change the IV fluids and also checked Ye Qingning's condition in detail.
In the early morning, Chen Ci came over with the latest blood test report, a hint of joy in his eyes: "The toxins are being cleared faster than I expected."
Lin Feiyan knew this was good news: "Does this mean she'll wake up soon?"
Chen Ci nodded: "There is a good chance."
Lin Feiyan had been working for several days, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had stubble on his chin. He was no longer as handsome and dashing as before, but rather tired and dejected.
"Boss, you..."
"I'm not going." Lin Feiyan knew what he was going to say and refused directly, her eyes sparkling with light: "She could wake up at any time, and I need to stay by her side."
Knowing he couldn't persuade her otherwise, Chen Ci had no choice but to leave.
Lin Feiyan placed Ye Qingning's hand in his palm again, and then felt that her hand was a few degrees warmer than before. It was warm before, but now her palm was sweaty.
A surge of joy filled his heart, and the corners of his lips involuntarily curved upwards: "Qingqing, you're waking up, aren't you?"
At this moment, a faint light appeared before Ye Qingning's eyes while she was in a state of confusion. She tried to control her eyelids and open her eyes to see the light.
"Qingqing, Qingqing..."
Hearing Lin Feiyan's familiar voice, Ye Qingning felt her strength increase, and her eyelids finally twitched.
Lin Feiyan was overjoyed: "Qingqing..."
Lin Feiyan noticed Ye Qingning's eyebrows trembled slightly and her fingers twitched slightly. He quickly released his hand and whispered in her ear, "Qingqing, open your eyes, Qingqing..."
Finally, the person in front of me seemed to have exhausted all their strength, and their eyes finally opened a crack, then fluttered slightly.
Lin Feiyan raised his hand and pressed the bell while continuing to call her, "Qingqing."
Seemingly hearing Lin Feiyan's voice, Ye Qingning slightly turned her head. The person in her vision was still somewhat blurry, but gradually focused and became clear. Finally, she successfully opened her eyes.
Upon seeing Lin Feiyan's appearance clearly, a hint of annoyance appeared in her eyes, and then she moved her fingers.
Lin Feiyan was overjoyed and completely failed to discern the emotions in her eyes. All he knew was that his Qingqing had finally woken up.
A gentle smile curved his lips: "Don't rush, you've only just woken up, don't move around yet."
Soon, Chen Ci pushed the door open and came in. When he saw Ye Qingning, who had already opened her eyes, a look of joy appeared on his face. While he was examining Ye Qingning, he asked in a low voice, "Miss Ye, do you remember me?"
Ye Qingning didn't react, staring at him with blank eyes.
After carefully checking Lin Fei's pulse, Chen Ci felt a little relieved and turned to Lin Fei, saying, "It's nothing serious."
Lin Feiyan nodded, his expression deliberately calm, but the slight twitching of his lips betrayed his excitement.
Chen Ci lifted Ye Qingning's arm and helped her do a few stretching exercises, noticing that her muscles were a bit stiff: "You haven't moved in a long time, you need to get used to it."
He smiled and massaged Ye Qingning's arm muscles as he asked, "Miss Ye, it's the same old question: what is 3 + 7?"
Ye Qingning opened her mouth: "10."
The voice was somewhat hoarse and the tone was somewhat muffled, as if someone who hadn't spoken in a long time had forgotten how to speak.
Chen Ci paused, then looked down at her, while Ye Qingning's gaze remained blank.
He let go of her arm and tried to massage her other arm, but Ye Qingning raised her hand herself.
Lin Feiyan hurriedly leaned over to help him up, but Ye Qingning's eyes suddenly flashed with coldness. She swung her arm forcefully and slapped Lin Feiyan across the face.
Under Lin Feiyan's somewhat shocked gaze, she opened her mouth, her tone somewhat indistinct but clear enough to be understood.
"Lin Feiyan, give up on that idea! I'd rather die than marry you!"
Meanwhile, in a hospital, the eyelids of a person who had been asleep for a long time finally twitched.
The nurse who was giving her an IV drip brightened up: "Miss Ye, Miss Ye..."
The familiar voice "Qingqing" in my mind suddenly seemed to become distant, and was replaced by the clear "Miss Ye"!
Ye Qingning finally mustered enough strength, and she forced her eyes open. The bright light made her squint again.
