After Xu Qinghe waited for them to leave, he carefully packed up the things he brought with him, then gently pushed open the door and walked into the ward.
In that era, although the intensive care unit was not as strictly managed as modern ones, there were certain restrictions on visitors. However, as a family member, Xu Qinghe naturally had no obstacles to enter.
In a corner of the room, she put the things she brought in order, and then her eyes naturally fell on Yin Yunjie lying on the bed.
Because of his serious injuries, his entire body was wrapped in layers of bandages. Despite this, it was still vaguely apparent that he was much thinner than before.
Although Xu Qinghe didn't know any medical skills and couldn't conduct a professional examination, she chose to do nothing. She just sat quietly by the bed, gently holding Yin Yunjie's hand, and whispered softly, "Yin Yunjie, I'm here."
The only answer she got, apart from the silent air around her, was the subtle and fragile breathing sound coming from Yin Yunjie through the oxygen mask, as if any noise could blow away this weak breath of life.
After sitting quietly for a while, Xu Qinghe gradually adapted to the environment in the room, and the dizziness that had originally caused him to feel uncomfortable from the journey gradually subsided.
So she took out the precious spiritual spring water from her space ring and fed it to Yin Yunjie spoon by spoon with great care.
The sweet liquid slowly slid down Yin Yunjie's throat. Even though he was still unconscious, he seemed to be able to feel the nourishment. His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he instinctively swallowed the water from the spiritual spring.
For Xu Qinghe, this scene was undoubtedly an encouraging sign of recovery.
A warm feeling suddenly surged in her heart, so she simply patiently fed him the whole bowl of water.
Not long after, the doctor who was doing his routine rounds came in. Seeing that the accompanying person had changed, he asked, "Are you a family member of the patient?"
Xu Qinghe quickly responded, "I'm his wife, and I'm here to take care of him. Doctor, may I ask how my husband is doing? What should I pay attention to in terms of daily care?"
While briefly introducing herself, she also eagerly asked about Yin Yunjie's specific condition.
Although the young man had already explained it to her in general terms, when facing a professional like a doctor, Xu Qinghe hoped to hear more accurate and professional advice.
After the doctor learned that she was a family member of the patient, and considering the complexity of Yin Yunjie's condition, he patiently and carefully reminded her of many matters, especially emphasizing that if any abnormalities were found, she must notify the doctor immediately and must not handle it without authorization.
Xu Qinghe nodded repeatedly to show that he understood. Then he remembered something and asked anxiously, "I saw that his lips were very dry, so I tried to give him some water. Should that be okay?"
The doctor was a little surprised when he heard this, because he had heard from Zhang Jianjun that Yin Yunjie had difficulty swallowing, but he didn't expect that he could now drink water.
"Can he drink water?"
The doctor repeated the confirmation, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Xu Qinghe didn't know the whole story, but still responded honestly: "Yes, he drank almost half a bowl."
"That's really good news! Please continue to keep a close eye on his condition, and notify us immediately once he wakes up!"
The doctor's tone was full of encouragement.
"Okay, thank you all for your hard work."
Xu Qinghe answered gratefully, her smile full of gratitude. After watching the doctor leave, she sat back down on the bed.
At this moment, only Yin Yunjie was lying quietly in the ward, and a small bed was prepared next to him for the accompanying personnel to rest, which became Xu Qinghe's temporary safe haven.
There are public bathrooms inside the hospital, which makes washing very convenient. Zhang Jianjun and others had previously informed Xu Qinghe in detail about these convenient facilities. She was very satisfied with this, as at least she didn't have to worry about daily cleaning issues.
It was a cold winter, and the clothes on his body had become heavy due to the journey. Although there was no odor due to not washing them for several days, this uncomfortable feeling made Xu Qinghe feel a little irritated.
After accompanying Yin Yunjie for a while, she decided to take a shower and sort herself out.
"Be good here. I'm going to take a shower and will be back soon."
She gently patted Yin Yunjie's hand, then picked up the prepared basin and slowly walked out of the ward.
After learning that Yin Yunjie was safe and sound, the heavy worry in Xu Qinghe's heart finally fell like a huge rock, making a slight sound, and her world returned to its usual tranquility.
What made her even more delighted was that the bathhouse, which was usually bustling with people, was now empty. This unexpected time of solitude was like a precious gift, giving her the long-lost peace and freedom.
Although she never objected to the hustle and bustle of group bathing, the luxurious experience of having her own space was indeed rare to find among the crowds of people.
The warm water flowed like tender fingers, gently brushing every inch of her skin, taking away the dust and fatigue accumulated over the days.
Wrapped in such tenderness, she couldn't help but hum an unknown melody softly. As the notes jumped, her mood also danced lightly.
After the bath, her wet hair was like a black bead curtain, and drops of water slowly slid down her white shoulders and neck. She did not rush to wipe them off, but let these natural elves fall freely and gradually evaporate under the caress of the breeze.
As she paced, she came to the door of the ward with ease, but unexpectedly caught a slight movement in the room, accompanied by vague conversations, like ghosts floating in the night.
"Hey, why are you so persistent? Finding a girl from the countryside, what good can come of it? Now that you're like this, she won't even look at you. Maybe you don't know, but she has a very complicated relationship with those educated youth sent to the countryside. Let alone taking good care of you, maybe deep down she's actually hoping that you'll have a hard time."
"Yin Yunjie, I am the one who loves you the most in this world. Only I can accompany you through your long life. Why do you always turn a blind eye? If I were with you, how could it be your turn to take on this dangerous mission? Are you stupid?"
Xu Qinghe blinked, alarm bells ringing in his heart, as he happened to hear Wan Ruyi slandering him at this moment.
She, Xu Qinghe, was not the kind of woman who liked to talk about others behind their backs, so she simply opened the door and "joined" this uninvited conversation openly.
The scene before her made her frown slightly. Wan Ruyi was sitting beside Yin Yunjie's bed, holding his hand tightly. She looked so affectionate as if she was the hostess here, expressing her endless love.
Noticing someone stepping over the threshold, Wan Ruyi suddenly let go of her hand, hurriedly wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around, and was greeted by Xu Qinghe, whose hair was slightly messy but whose eyes were determined.
