Chapter 66
Jiang Bai vaguely heard someone talking in her sleep. She tried hard to open her eyes and saw Lan Shuqing's back, but there was someone else in the room whom she didn't expect.
Before the topic became more serious, Jiang Bai stopped Lan Shuqing.
When the little girl turned around, Jiang Bai saw that Lan Shuqing had become noticeably more haggard.
After Li Liyue and Lan Qi left, Jiang Bai's forehead was slightly sweaty. She opened her arms and smiled weakly, "Lan Shuqing, I want a hug~"
Seeing her like this, Lan Shuqing smiled and tears slid down from the corners of her eyes. She wiped her tears with her fingers, walked over, sat down beside the bed, then leaned over and hugged Jiang Bai, burying her face in Jiang Bai's neck, without saying a word.
The wetness spread, Jiang Bai hugged Lan Shuqing, gently stroked her back, and whispered: "It's okay~"
Tears continued to soak the hospital gown on his shoulders. Jiang Bai nudged Lan Shuqing and continued to comfort her, "Lan Shuqing, I'm still here~"
Lan Shuqing tightened her grip on Jiang Bai's arms slightly. God knows how scared she was when Jiang Bai fell. So much blood dyed Jiang Bai's clothes red. For a moment, Lan Shuqing felt like she was about to faint.
But no, she couldn't fall down, Jiang Bai still needed her.
So she has survived until now.
The moment she saw Jiang Bai truly wake up, the wall in Lan Shuqing's heart collapsed. From yesterday until just now, Lan Shuqing had not shed a single tear, but when she hugged Jiang Bai again, all the tears came out at once.
Jiang Bai hugged her, feeling a little pain in her heart. She knew Lan Shuqing must be very scared. Lan Shuqing's expression was not right when she fainted.
But it doesn't matter, she is lucky and still alive.
So she stroked Lan Shuqing's back and kissed him devoutly on the forehead.
Sensing Jiang Bai's movements, Lan Shu cursed softly, "Jiang Bai, you're an idiot!"
Why are you standing in front of her?! You made her worry for so long!
Jiang Bai smiled and rubbed Lan Shuqing's forehead with her face again, "Lan Shuqing, you are more important than me."
Lan Shu lightly pinched the flesh on her shoulder. She straightened up and looked at Jiang Bai. Her eyes were slightly red, but she said seriously, "I don't want you to be like this. Don't always stand in front of me."
Jiang Bai looked back at her, then took Lan Shuqing's hand. His face was pale, and his eyes were serious. "Lan Shuqing, I don't want you to get hurt."
Lan Shuqing's eyes turned even redder as she stared at her. Jiang Bai smiled and shook her hand. "I'll be more careful next time, okay?"
Lan Shu glared at her with red eyes.
Jiang Bai squeezed Lan Shuqing's hand. She reached out and pulled a piece of paper from the bedside and handed it to Lan Shuqing. "Wipe your tears. You've become a little cat~"
Lan Shuqing took it and said angrily, "No!" But he wiped his tears obediently with his hands.
Jiang Bai smiled and waited for Lan Shuqing to wipe away her tears. Then he took Lan Shuqing's hand and asked, "Lan Shuqing, how long have I been sleeping?"
Lan Shu gently held her hand, his tone unconsciously gentle, "Not long, about ten hours or so."
"That's been a long time." Jiang Bai looked at her and asked with concern, "Have you eaten since yesterday?"
Lan Shuqing replied: "I just had breakfast."
Jiang Bai asked again: "Have you stayed here all night?"
Lan Shu nodded slightly.
Jiang Bai glanced towards the ward door and vaguely saw someone waiting outside. She looked at Lan Shuqing, held Lan Shuqing's hands with both of hers, and said softly, "Then why don't you go back and pack up first, get a good night's sleep, and then come back, okay?"
Lan Shu shook his head slightly, "I can't sleep."
Jiang Bai lowered his eyes for a while, then looked up at her again, "When did Auntie and the others arrive?"
Lan Shu gently touched Jiang Bai's face. "We just arrived, Jiang Bai, don't think too much. Now you should take good care of your wound. The doctor said that if the wound had been any deeper, it would have cut into your spleen."
Jiang Bai smiled, his face still pale, "I'm fine."
Lan Shu looked at her lightly, his eyes slightly deep, "Did you hear everything just now?"
Jiang Bai nodded, "I heard a little bit."
Lan Shuqing was helpless. He rubbed Jiang Bai's cheek with his fingertips and coaxed him, "I'll take care of it. You should have a good rest."
Jiang Bai's lips curled slightly, "Lan Shuqing, I'm not a child."
Lan Shuqing looked at her, "But you are still injured."
Jiang Bai thought for a moment and then said, "Then you have to talk to Auntie nicely, okay?"
Lan Shuqing's eyes flickered slightly, "I know."
Jiang Bai squeezed Lan Shuqing's hand again, a smile spreading across his pale face. "Auntie loves you very much. Why don't you listen to her and go back first? I'll come see you and Auntie and the others when I'm better, okay?"
Lan Shuqing looked at her helplessly, "Jiang Bai..." She said word by word, "It's not good at all. I can't just abandon you."
Jiang Bai also looked at her, his eyes suddenly moist. Lan Shu leaned down and kissed Jiang Bai on the forehead. She had wanted to do this for a long time. Lan Shu gently touched her forehead and looked into Jiang Bai's eyes. "Jiang Bai, please believe me, okay?"
A tear fell from the corner of his eye. Jiang Bai would not usually be so fragile. It might be because he was injured and could not do anything, or it might be because he heard Li Liyue's harsh words as soon as he woke up. Jiang Bai's voice was a little tearful and trembling. "Lan Shuqing, I don't want to be so selfish, but I'm not that generous either. I want you to stay, but I don't want you to quarrel with my aunt because of me."
If Lan Shuqing insisted on staying, the layer of paper would be lost. Things happened too quickly. Jiang Bai was prepared, but not that much.
Lan Shu gently wiped away the tears from Jiang Bai's eyes with his fingers, looked into her eyes, held her hand, and said seriously and firmly, "Jiang Bai, you believe me."
Jiang Bai burst into tears again, "But I don't want you to be alone."
I don’t want Lan Shuqing to face it alone.
Lan Shu chuckled, "Then you should rest well and try to get better soon."
The little girl just smiled like that, her eyes full of her. Jiang Bai held Lan Shuqing's hand tightly, his lips tightly pursed.
Lan Shuqing held her face with his right hand and coaxed her like a child, "Be obedient, okay?"
Jiang Bai looked into Lan Shuqing's eyes and nodded slowly, saying, "Okay."
Lan Shuqing stood up and wiped Jiang Bai's tears with a piece of paper. She said, "I'll call the doctor to check you out." Then she let go of Jiang Bai's hand, pressed the call bell, and said, "I'll go out first. Wait for me."
Jiang Bai nodded, then watched Lan Shuqing leave the ward.
Li Liyue and Lan Qi saw everything that happened in the ward from outside, including the hug between the two, the kiss when Lan Shu lowered his head slightly, and the vague scene of touching each other's faces.
Li Liyue's face looked grim. Her worries finally came true, which was both expected and unexpected. Li Liyue felt complicated, but she vaguely felt that it was impossible to let Lan Shuqing leave Jiang Bai now.
Lan Qi stood behind Li Liyue, sighed inwardly, and then silently gave his sister a thumbs up.
Lan Shuqing opened the door of the ward and walked out. She looked at Li Liyue and said, "Mom, the doctor will come over to check on Jiang Bai later. We can talk after the examination."
The girl in her twenties suddenly became relaxed from the fatigue she showed when she first met him, and the expression on her face became lively, as if all the defensiveness and tentacles she had when she first met him were suddenly retracted, and she became soft and calm.
All this was because of another woman.
Li Liyue felt even more complicated. She was an experienced person and had seen a lot of things, so she naturally knew what this meant. She looked at Lan Shuqing silently and didn't really want to talk. She had already anticipated what her daughter wanted to say.
Seeing that she was silent, Lan Shuqing took a step forward, took Li Liyue's arm, and said coquettishly: "Mom~"
Li Liyue glanced at her, pulled her hand away, and said, "I'll go find your dad." Then she walked outside.
No one called Lan Qi either.
Lan Shuqing looked at Li Liyue's back and exchanged glances with Lan Qi, who stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, "Come on, sister."
Lan Shuqing ignored his teasing reminder and turned to look at Aunt Yao beside her. "Aunt Yao, could you please go downstairs and buy some light food?" She took out her phone and sent Aunt Yao the address. "After buying, please go to where I live now and cook some food for the patient to eat. Also, buy some other things to take care of the patient. Please take care of Jiang Bai for the time being."
Aunt Yao nodded, "Okay."
Aunt Yao also left. Lan Shuqing and Lan Qi stood at the door for a while, and then the doctor came over.
The group returned to the ward. The doctor gave Jiang Bai a quick checkup and said to Lan Shuqing, "The patient's wound is quite deep. It will take about two months to fully heal. During this time, pay attention to your diet and walk out of bed for half an hour every day, but walk slowly. This will prevent other complications."
Lan Shuqing stood beside the bed, face to face with the doctor. She nodded, "Okay."
The bed here was already rocking. Jiang Bai leaned against the pillow and looked up and asked, "Doctor, how long will I have to stay in the hospital?"
The doctor thought for a moment and replied, "It depends on the recovery. If everything goes well, you can be discharged in about ten days. However, even after you are discharged, you can't do strenuous activities. You can only do simple things like brisk walking or running. That's not allowed."
Jiang Bai nodded, "Okay."
At this point, the doctor smiled and continued, "I see you're in good health and you're not complaining of pain. You should be able to be discharged soon."
Lan Shuqing was a little confused. She glanced at Jiang Bai, then at the doctor and asked, "Doctor, is she in a lot of pain now?"
The doctor looked up at her and said, "Ah," "Yes, the anesthetic has worn off now. It will be a little painful. Some patients with pain intolerance may need painkillers."
Lan Shu gently supported himself on the bed and asked Jiang Bai, "Jiang Bai, are you in pain?"
Jiang Bai looked at Lan Shuqing, a wave of heat rising to her chest. She cleared her throat and said, "Not bad."
In fact, she has been feeling a dull pain since she woke up, especially when she moves her hands or body, there is a pulling pain, but it is still within her tolerance range.
Lan Shu frowned slightly and looked at the doctor, "She's in this condition, doesn't she need medication?"
The doctor replied: "If the patient is not in much pain, you don't need to use painkillers alone. Other medicines can also relieve pain, so there is no need to worry too much."
Lan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."
The doctor added, "I'll have the nurse come back later and bring the prescribed medicine along."
Lan Shu replied softly, "Okay, thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome."
