The group listened to Xu Yangyi’s apology and sobbing and they inexplicably felt heavy in their hearts. The atmosphere became quite depressing. No one was speaking.
Zuo Bo also stood in silence not far away. Although annoyance was still on his face, he was not as angry as before.
After about half an hour, the doctor came out. He took off his gauze mask and was about to say something, but he was scared by Yan Chengyu who rushed up to him.
“How’s it going? How is the Colonel?” This was probably the first time Yan Chengyu had lost control so much.
“Why are you in such a hurry? Give me a breather.” The doctor showed an unpleasant look. But then he walked past Yan Chengyu, bowed respectfully towards Xu Yangyi and called out softly, “Your Highness.”
Xu Yangyi did not dare to look at the doctor and did not dare to listen to the next words, fearing that the doctor would say something that he did not want to hear.
The doctor could also see Xu Yangyi’s fear. He said, “Your Highness, please rest assured that there is no serious injury on the Colonel He’s body. He was bumped in the head, but it’s not a big problem. It’s not a concussion yet. I guess he just hit the back of his head and passed out. He will wake up naturally after he recovers from the shock.”
“Really? Are you sure he will wake up?” Xu Yangyi saw the hope for a moment, but tears were still rolling down from his eyes.
“Yes. The Colonel is fine. Please don’t worry, Your Highness.” The doctor bowed again respectfully.
“Phew! I thought Colonel would never wake up this time!”
These words were naturally not from Xu Yangyi, but from Yan Chengyu, who had been tensing his nerves all the time.
An Yan, who was standing behind him, also breathed a sigh of relief; if something bad really happened to He Jingyan, they would rather become He Jingyan’s funerary men and bury themselves with the Colonel. It was a shame for a soldier to fail to protect his commanding officer.
Xu Yangyi did not say a word. After hearing that He Jingyan was alright, he immediately wiped his tears and rushed into the ward.
Zuo Bo was now standing beside He Jingyan’s bed. When he heard the sound behind him, he moved out of the way, presumably knowing that it was Xu Yangyi who had entered.
Zuo Bo pinched his forehead and sighed, leaving the words to Xu Yangyi, “He needs your companion.” Then he left.
He must have been relieved to hear that He Jingyan was fine and that was why he left. After all, at this time, Long Chen also needed his care.
He Jingyan tightly closed his eyes in the bed. Seeing that, Xu Yangyi started to cry again.
“I’m sorry…” He choked out an apology and just stood there by the bed, crying.
Outside the ward, An Yan was going to walk in, but he was stopped by Yan Chengyu.
“What are you doing?” An Yan said with dissatisfaction, furrowing.
Yan Chengyu sighed, “I say, wifey, can you read the atmosphere? We should give Yangyi a moment alone with the Colonel! We’ll just wait outside.”
“Who… who is your wife?! Call me Captain An Yan!” An Yan ordered Yan Chengyu, but at this moment, he was all red in the face and his words were too unconvincing.
Yan Chengyu immediately became smug, “Then fine. I’ll call you Captain Wifey! Anyway, Captain Wifey is also a captain!”
“What are you babbling about?” Pushing away Yan Chengyu who was leaning over, An Yan yelled at him again.
But Yan Chengyu knew An Yan was being shy, so he didn’t let him go and he smiled wickedly again, “You don’t like it? How about calling you Wifey Sama? My Lovey-Dovey? Which one do you like?”
This was a proper way to piss off An Yan! An Yan’s face turned red and he turned away from Yan Chengyu, not looking at him.
