Chapter 276 - Six in the Morning

Back in the city? Ruan Jin was shocked to hear those words. The last thing he knew was that he was sleeping inside one of the rooms in the Rooms Hall. However, Ye Ling recounted the events from what she had seen before they took Ruan Jin to the first boat off the facility. Knowing that it was all real, Ruan Jin then started to cry with his mother. They held each other even if both didn't know why they had to keep on crying.

Their sounds attracted the nurse making her rounds. She noticed that a VIP patient had awakened. Her hurried steps took her to the nurse station on that VIP floor, and a certain doctor was there waiting. The dazzling smile curled his lips, but the nurse had to try her best not to lose her intellect. Even if she was willing, she couldn't lose her career just because of one devil's smile.

"Good morning… though it's half-past midnight." The familiar voice made the two stop. Ruan Jin sniffed his stuffed nose and realized that it was the same doctor from the facility. However, he looked a little different as if he could alter his appearance without actually destroying his beauty. Like the features could become unrecognizable by camera, and yet human sentience could match them as the same person.

What kind of sorcery was that?!

Yu Mona then gasped in joy as she saw the doctor again. "Dr. Wang! You're here, you're here! My Jin is awake, and he's more mobile than you said he should be." She dried her tears and pulled on Ruan Jin's short-sleeved hospital gown. "Jin, Jin, do you know? Mr. Li said he'll guarantee your recovery. That's why Dr. Wang is here! Hehe, aren't you happy? Mr. Li had been very generous to us!"

"...ah, I see." Ruan Jin's eyes flickered. This was just now that he realized that the name Jiu Yuanli was a play on 'rescue' and 'Li'. No matter, now that he's really here, then… "Dr. Jiu—I mean Dr. Wang! Dr. Wang! Have you seen Xiaodan? How is he?"

"Hm… Xiaodan is..." Wang Yusheng, who was undercover as the miracle doctor Jiu Yuanli, lowered his eyes and had a very dark expression on his face. It couldn't be helped that Ruan Jin and Yu Mona gasped in fear. The same sound actually came out from the two of them. 

A teasing smile then curled the doctor's lips as he lightened his mood and shrugged his shoulders. "I really have no idea. He looks very fine when he came with his parents to the Mian Residence—" He didn't even get to finish his words when a pillow hit his face. In Ruan Jin's rage, he had forgotten that he was speaking with a doctor—even the very same one that saved his life at that!

The pillow had already kissed the floor when Ruan Jin realized what he had done. "Ah, Dr. Wang! I didn't mean to hit you, but it's your fault for cracking a bad joke!"

"It's okay." Wang Yusheng picked up the pillow and would be asking a nurse to sanitize it now that it had kissed the floor. "I also want to see how much of your strength is back. What Song Qixi did to you was no joke. I'm even very surprised that you pulled through. You don't have to worry about it now. Take a look at you, you can already throw a pillow so hard. I guess I'll just see you around for another two weeks."

The smile on his face seemed to be so genuine… because it was. He was shocked to find what happened to the kid and that the kid had the will to live through it. It was good. After a few more reminders and checks on Ruan Jin as if he was a proper doctor, Wang Yusheng had left the room. Of course, he had to assure Yu Mona that he took no offense and that he did pull off the stunt to measure Ruan Jin's recovered strength.

What would he do if it was Yu Mona who hit him? Well, he could only sigh for having a failure.

"Time to return to that floor." 

Wang Yusheng handed the pillow over, and a nurse quickly went to deal with it. He rode the elevator to a higher floor and walked out to check up on others. In another VIP room, he knocked on the open door, and the man on the stool only looked up at him. Even if the day had become so long, this man had not yet slept. Wang Yusheng checked up on the old man on the bed.

The man on the stool sniffed and used his free hand to rub his nose. "How long was he supposed to be like this?"

"If he made it after forty-eight hours, your father will be fine. Still, his survivability rate is above 80% so you don't have to be so scared." Wang Yusheng took out something from his doctor's coat's inner pocket and placed it on the surface of the nightstand. "Director Sun is very important to us at least. We will make sure he'll live. 

"If you'll excuse me…" The doctor then walked out of the room.

Sun Yinxie actually stared at the black horse stuffed toy that stared straight at him from the nightstand. The doctor was long gone, but Sun Yinxie still called out, with his eyes not leaving the black horse, "Doctor… Doctor, something here is out to kill me..."

…

The sunlight pierced through the slits of the heavy curtain on the window. The slightest feeling of the morning sun made Liu Xiaodan—the man who had lived in the cold and the dark for days—uncomfortable. However, when he roused from sleep and mapped his body and surroundings, he found his face still pressed against soft mounds. He remembered hugging Chuan Nayi to sleep, and he felt happy that she was still here when he woke up.

Her arm moved, and Liu Xiaodan closed his eyes. He wanted to feign his sleep now that Chuan Nayi was awake. If anything, it should be around six in the morning? Was this the normal time she woke up? He hoped she would sleep in so he could hold onto her longer.

It's just that… Liu Xiaodan couldn't help but groan a little when her leg moved up mercilessly, hitting that rioting part in early mornings. It was strange; this was something that he lost back at the facility.

"Oh, my God… are you alright?" Chuan Nayi's rather sleepy voice resounded. Liu Xiaodan just had to hum as if acknowledging her apology. However, she just mewled a little as he rubbed his face against her unsuspecting c.h.e.s.t. Had they become so s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e now that she was awake?

The arm pressed against Liu Xiaodan's head as if Chuan Nayi was secretly suffocating him so he would move away. Then again, the joke's on her. Liu Xiaodan had become rather undying after everything.

Crash! A loud crash echoed from outside, and Chuan Nayi ended jumping up to a sitting position. "What's that?"
