Yi Fei looked up to see a serious Wu Chen.
"I don't want ever to feel like I will not see you ever again. It scares me so much. Even scarier than being killed by crazy kidnappers" The tears threatened to fall.
Wu Chen fixed Yi Fei's hair and caressed her cheek. His happy-go-lucky little idiot was sad and scared; he was not used to seeing Yi Fei in this vulnerable state. His heart ached when he sees that Yi Fei was about to cry again.
When you are too used of seeing someone happy and laugh, the sight of them tearing up will scare the shit out of you.
"It won't happen again. I'll protect you. Nothing like that will ever happen to you. Let me take care of you from now on, will you?" Wu Chen kissed Yi Fei's forehead carefully so that her hands won't be squashed.
Yi Fei nodded her head slowly as a sign of agreement. Her eyes were heavy. Wu Chen caressed her hair slowly until Yi Fei fell asleep before he went off from the bed so that Yi Fei will have all the space on the bed for herself.
Happiness would be too pure to describe how he was feeling at the moment. If he could go out and scream his heart out, he would, but since he was in a hospital and he should at least respect the rules of the hospital, he tried his best to control himself.
Wu Chen wanted to make a phone call to Liu Shi, so he had to go out of the room in case his voice will disrupt Yi Fei. When Wu Chen went out of the room, Bai Jing Ting was sitting on the bench outside Yi Fei's room with a bouquet on his hand. Bai Jing Ting looked up to Wu Chen.
Wu Chen wanted to ignore him, but he figured out that Bai Jing Ting cared about Yi Fei too so he should, at least, tell him about Yi Fei's condition.
"How is she?" Bai Jing Ting looked up to Wu Chen; he had a worried look on his face.
"She's resting. She laughed a few times, called herself a mummy, cried a few times, and she's sleeping now" Wu Chen felt it would be awkward for him to continue having a conversation with Bai Jing Ting when one is sitting, and another one is standing. He walked over to the bench and sat next to Bai Jing Ting.
Bai Jing Ting smiled. "That's exactly what she'll do. She always has something random to say".
There were a palpable sadness and longing in Bai Jing Ting's voice. Both Wu Chen and Bai Jing Ting knew it very well. After all, they had been in the same situation at one point in their life.
"You should wait until she's awake. I'm sure she'll be happy to see you. After all, she thinks of you as her brother" Wu Chen didn't mean to rub salt in Bai Jing Ting's wound. He was only speaking the truth.
Bai Jing Ting's lips twitched when he heard Wu Chen mentioned 'brother' to him, but it was the truth. No matter how much he hated it, the fact that he was rejected and Yi Fei only thinks of him as her brother still valid.
"I know you confess your feeling to her. She told me about it". Wu Chen put his phone into his pocket and stared at the ceiling. "Both of us fell in love with the same person – again. I don't know why things like this happened to you and me… but she made her choice."
Bai Jing Ting clenched the bouquet of flower. Of course, he knew that Yi Fei made her choice. For some reason, when Wu Chen said it out loud, it seemed as if he was boasting and Bai Jing Ting hated this side of Wu Chen.
"I hope you can find someone who chooses you too… As long as it's not my woman that is" Wu Chen turned to face Bai Jing Ting who had been clenching his palms for a few times already.
Bai Jing Ting stood up and handed over the bouquet of flower to Wu Chen, and Wu Chen took it. "I'm not going to wait for her to wake up; I'm not ready to face her…" Bai Jing Ting walked a few steps and stopped in his track. "I know she doesn't like the flower, but she reminds me so much of a petunia."
Bai Jing Ting continued walking after he handed over the flower but he was stopped in his track when Wu Chen called for his name. Bai Jing Ting turned around.
"You are invited to the wedding" Wu Chen gave him a side smirk.
Bai Jing Ting turned around and walked quickly without turning looking back. Damn Wu Chen. He always hit where it's the most painful.

Four people were sitting in a roundtable at one of the restaurants near the hospital.
"Chen and Fei are not young anymore. Many of their friends at their age have two or three children already. So, I suggest that they should marry as soon as possible" Wu Chen's mother tried to convince the other three persons with her.
Convincing the men would be a little difficult, but women should help each other. So Wu Chen's mother held the hand of Yi Fei's mother while putting a sorrowful face.
"All of my friends rarely hang out with me now because they are busy playing and spoiling their grandchild. I also want to play and spoil my grandchild; don't you think so, Mrs. Shen?"
Yi Fei's mother also felt sad when Wu Chen's mother mentioned about grandchild. "Now that you mention it, my neighbors also busy with her grandchildren and rarely went out to the community meeting. I feel lonely sometimes."
The two men didn't say anything because they knew that the women were only acting sad so that they'll agree to whatever plan the women had in their mind. But one couldn't let their loved one being sad for so long. It was Wu Chen's father who gave up first.
Wu Chen's father let out a loud sigh. "So, what should we do then?"
The eyes of Wu Chen's mother lighted up because someone took the bait."Well, we should suggest them to get married as soon as they can" And then, she continued telling the other people about her planning for the wedding.
Yi Fei's parents agreed with all the planning told by Wu Chen's mother.
"The only problem now would be to ask whether the couple agreed or not but since Ah Fei already called me 'mom,' let's just assume that she agreed." Wu Chen's mother told them with a proud face.
Wu Chen's father who liked daughter perked up when he heard that Yi Fei called his wife as 'mom.' He thought that having a daughter-in-law is a nice thing. Usually, when NaNa came over to visit them, she'll call him 'uncle.' Having a daughter to call him 'dad' would be nice.
"Let's ask Chen to prepare everything once Fei agreed to him."
The usually quiet Wu Chun Yang suddenly spoke, so it means that the plan was finalized.
