fang yusheng and qiao jiusheng rushed to the emergency room. just then, a nurse came out and said to them, " get ready, the patient is coming out. get a few more people to carry the patient to the bed. be careful with your movements. "

as she spoke, fang zicheng heard the sound of wheels turning.

he looked behind the nurse and saw another nurse pushing a bed toward the door. the bed sheets were still clean, and they should have been changed in the operating room.

lu yinxi was lying on the bed, covered with a thin quilt. fang zicheng couldn't see her.

the nurse was still talking, but fang zicheng did not seem to hear her. he walked past the nurse and strode to the door to stop lu yinxi.

!!

the nurse who had pushed lu yinxi looked up at fang zicheng. seeing his sad face, she said, " you can come and see her. "

fang zicheng hesitated for a moment before he walked around the end of the bed and went to the head of the bed. lu yinxi's head and neck were exposed outside the blanket. her skin was really pale. there was still blood on lu yinxi's head, but it wasn't hers. it must have been from lu ziai's injury when he fell to the ground.

fang zicheng knelt down by the bed.

he reached into the blanket and touched lu yinxi's left hand. it was as cold as a dead person's hand. fang zicheng's heart quivered, and he could not help but tighten his grip on her hand.

"elk." fang zicheng called out to her softly.

lu yinxi shook her head and didn't reply.

" she can hear me? " fang zicheng asked the nurse.

"yes, she's already awake. she even opened her eyes once in the operating room. we'll send her to the ward now. try to talk to her as much as you can in the next two hours. don't let her fall asleep."

"alright," he said.

fang zicheng stood up immediately.

the nurse was about to push the bed when fang zicheng reached out and grabbed the side of the bed. " let me do it. "

"alright."

fang zicheng personally pushed lu yinxi along the way. fang yusheng and his wife stayed by fang zicheng's side the entire time. after entering the ward, fang yusheng went to the next ward and hired two men. the four of them worked together to carefully put lu yinxi on the bed.

qiao jiusheng gave the two men two packs of cigarettes as a token of gratitude for their help.

after sending off the two men, qiao jiusheng returned to the ward.

she saw that fang zicheng kept calling her name by her ear, and her feelings were quite complicated. her son used to be such a cold person, but now he was like a normal person.

fang zicheng said, " elk, it's fang zicheng. can you hear me? the doctor said to keep you awake and not fall asleep."

"if you can hear me, can you just snort?"

the room fell silent for a moment after he finished his question.

"oh ..."

lu yinxi made a muffled sound.

fang zicheng could not help but hold her hand again. "elk, don't be afraid. i'm here with you."

after a while, lu yinxi snorted again.

fang zicheng finally got a little comfort.

however, after he said that he would be here with her, fang zicheng was at a loss for words. he wasn't a talkative person to begin with, so he didn't know what to say. qiao jiusheng noticed fang zicheng's embarrassment and suggested, " should i do it? "

"no," she said.

even if it was an awkward conversation, fang zicheng wanted to keep lu yinxi company.

he thought for a moment, then turned on his phone and searched for the story of the prince turning into a frog. in the end, he found the version of bewa's story, which was the shortest and most refined. " elk, " fang zicheng said to lu yinxi, " i'll read you a story. don't sleep. listen. " when i read out a sentence and pause for a moment, you give a humph."

qiao jiusheng and fang yusheng looked at each other, their faces full of black lines.

aren't storybooks supposed to coax people to sleep?

qiao jiusheng was about to tell fang zicheng to change his way of telling the story, afraid that he would make lu yinxi fall asleep. unexpectedly, lu yinxi's finger, which was held by fang zicheng, pointed slightly.

qiao jiusheng was speechless.

she was wrong.

fang zicheng's voice was in its changing phase and it sounded weird. it was a little hoarse and a little rough. when he started reading storybooks, he was really good at making people fall asleep. qiao jiusheng and fang yusheng were sitting on the sofa when they heard fang zicheng read, " "a long, long time ago, there was a king. the king had many beautiful daughters, and the youngest daughter was the most beautiful and adorable."

"elk, did you hear that?"

lu yinxi tapped her fingers.

" mm. " fang zicheng continued, " there's a huge forest near the palace. there's a huge tree in the forest and a deep pool next to the tree. "

"elk, nod your fingers."

lu yinxi nodded again.

seeing this, qiao jiusheng could not help but click her tongue.

after fang zicheng slowly finished reading the story and the blood transfusion was over, qiao jiusheng, who was not feeling well, fell asleep in fang yusheng's arms. there was also an accompanying bed in the room. fang yusheng carried qiao jiusheng to the bed and put her down.

when qiao jiusheng laid down, she opened her eyes and stared at fang yusheng for a while before she mumbled, " i'm accompanying chengcheng and helping her out. " after she finished speaking, she turned over slightly and fell asleep.

fang yusheng patted her on the shoulder and waited for her to fall asleep before walking to fang zicheng's side.

fang zicheng had finished telling his story, but it was still not the time the doctor had told him to. after general anesthesia, the patient was not allowed to fall asleep for two hours to prevent the patient from having respiratory amnesia due to sleeping for too long under general anesthesia.

once the patient developed respiratory amnesia, he would die.

lu yinxi had barely made it through the surgery and escaped death's door for a while. fang zicheng was especially nervous about these two hours. fang yusheng could feel his son's anxiety. he pressed on his shoulder and said, " let me do the next step. "

fang zicheng raised his head and looked at him, a little confused.

fang yusheng said, " let me, her future father-in-law, talk to her. anything i say will make her nervous. "

fang zicheng thought about it and found it reasonable.

fang yusheng stood by the bed and said to lu yinxi, " daughter-in-law. "

lu yinxi's hands trembled.

fang yusheng continued, " when you're better, i'll let you get engaged to our chengcheng. "

lu yinxi's eyelids started to tremble.

fang yusheng said, " if you fall asleep, cheng cheng will fly away and be in love with someone else. "

lu yinxi suddenly grabbed fang zicheng. although she didn't use much strength, it was enough to surprise him.

fang zicheng was amazed.

it can even be like this?

fang yusheng talked nonsense with lu yinxi. no matter what he said, lu yinxi would respond to him.

fang yusheng was pleased with himself. he lowered his head and gave fang zicheng a smug look. " this is much more useful than your story. "

fang zicheng was silent for a moment, which was rare. he was convinced and said to his father, " daddy is amazing. "

"ah, that's why i say that the older the ginger, the spicier it is."

not long after, fang zikai returned alone. he was carrying a few boxes of food in his hand. they were supper for fang yusheng and the other two.
