"Birthday gift? Okay, what gift do you want?" Li Huowang smiled and asked softly at the bedside.

He remembered that he did say to Yang Na before that he would give her a birthday gift.

Yang Na's voice quieted for a moment, and she said cautiously, "Huowang, I... I hope that someday when your condition stabilizes a bit and you have a break, you can come to the entrance of my school to pick me up. I will say that I have a boyfriend, and he is really handsome, but my roommates just don't believe me."

"I showed them our photos, but they still thought it was photoshopped. Those three crazy women..."

Stabilize his condition? Li Huowang felt a hint of bitterness in his heart when he heard this.

This hallucination was too logical, to the point where it was almost indistinguishable from reality, but no matter how real it was, it was still just a hallucination.

"Okay." Li Huowang rarely lied.

"Yes! By then, those single dogs will be envious!"

After saying that, there was a moment of silence between the two.

"How are you doing?" Yang Na's question made Li Huowang unsure of how to respond.

Thinking back on everything that had happened before, Li Huowang couldn't say that he was doing well. "It's okay."

Yang Na's voice became quieter, and she said with a hint of grievance, "Huowang, I really, really like you, but this kind of liking also needs to be maintained together."

"If it's up to me alone, I'm really afraid that one day I won't be able to hold on anymore, just like my parents. They were really loving when I was young, but in the end, they gradually turned to hating each other."

Li Huowang took a deep breath and said "okay" again.

But this time, Yang Na didn't buy it. "Li Huowang! Take this seriously! Don't just keep saying okay, you need to take action!"

"Auntie said you are very resistant to seeing a doctor. This won't work!"

"Don't I know you? You always keep everything inside! Are you avoiding something again? You were so stubborn when you were young, and you're still like that now!"

"I know you're going through a hard time now, and you have a serious illness, but you have to go get treatment."

"Only then can I understand your intentions and know that you are working hard like me. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy and start to wonder if you are planning to abandon me again."

Hearing this, Li Huowang clenched his fists. "Nana, I promise you, I will never give up on you. Even if... even if..."

"Even if what?"

"Even if you are just a hallucination." This sentence deeply stayed in Li Huowang's heart.

"Even if my illness never gets better, as long as you still hold on, I will never give up."

After getting Li Huowang's definite answer, Yang Na's voice regained its liveliness. They continued chatting about the interesting things in the new school for half an hour until Nurse Wang reminded them, and they finally hung up the phone reluctantly.Li Huowang lying on the bed deeply sighed, knowing that things in his hallucinations were not always the same. But facing Yang Na's birthday wish, he really didn't know what to do.

After the last experience, even if the hospital allowed him to temporarily leave, it would still require layers of approval.

Not to mention Yang Na's university was in another city, he couldn't even go out in his own city.

"Since you talk to her so normally, why don't you try consulting with a doctor today?"

Hearing Nurse Wang's words, Li Huowang turned his head irritably.

"Hey, little brother, I'm touched by what I heard. You can't let go of such a good girl. Don't give up treatment."

"Is this not a patient's private matter? Are we even close?" Li Huowang was very annoyed at the moment.

"You may not be familiar with me, but I'm very familiar with you. We've been taking care of you, washing you, inserting catheters, and even holding the bedpan. Honestly, I'm more filial to you than my own mother."

"But you're quite easy to take care of. You don't need to turn over. Young people have good health. Even after lying down for so long, you haven't developed bedsores. Bed 19 is really bad. You have to turn over every few hours."

Perhaps due to her personality, Nurse Wang was very willing to chat with the protagonist. Faced with Nurse Wang's chatter, Li Huowang became even more annoyed.

"I'm tired. Can I rest for a while?"

"Hey, little brother, you're almost bedridden, and you're still tired? Are you tired of lying down? Chat with me. This hospital is so cold-blooded that they don't even let us play with our phones in the duty room. If it weren't for the good treatment and the five insurances and one fund, I would have quit long ago."

"Little brother, won't you let the doctor come and see you? If Yang Na finds out about this, what will she think?"

This made Li Huowang's expression slightly serious. "Okay, let the doctor come over."

Even if it was a hallucination, he didn't want Yang Na to be sad.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. It's Sunday today, and Dr. Hou is off. Are you free tomorrow?"

"Are you kidding me?" Li Huowang began to dislike Nurse Wang.

"I dare not play with you. Your mother is fierce. Who dares to play with her precious son? I don't want to be complained about. If Dr. Hou is really not here, then tomorrow, tomorrow. I will definitely tell him."

"By the way, are you here tomorrow? The doctor said that your illness is very rare, and they want to name the disease after you."

Li Huowang closed his eyes speechlessly and didn't want to listen anymore.

In the other party's chatter, Li Huowang fell asleep heavily.

When he woke up again, he found himself back on the wooden bed, his whole body tied up with chains, and a layer of blanket covering him. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Huowang looked at Bai Lingmiao beside him, and gradually her appearance overlapped with Yang Na's.

Hallucinations were still hallucinations. After experiencing one, he knew that he had to cherish reality.As he watched, a thought crossed Li Huowang's mind.

"Is Yang Na thinking the same thing as Bai Lingmiao?"

Under his gaze, Bai Lingmiao's long white eyelashes flickered and slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing Li Huowang's clear eyes, Bai Lingmiao smiled lightly. "Li Shixiong, it's only four in the morning. Let me take off your chains and you can sleep a bit more."

After speaking, she lifted the blanket and busied herself with Li Huowang.

Looking at the face so close to him, Li Huowang suddenly asked, "Today, were you jealous of the bride?"

Bai Lingmiao blushed, shy but not denying anything. "Hmm, very jealous."

"Li Shixiong, when we get home, will you marry me? You won't dislike me, will you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Huowang gently leaned forward and pecked her soft lips.

Bai Lingmiao was obviously taken aback by his actions and stood there, at a loss for what to do.

Li Huowang sat up and pulled her into the warm blanket. He had slept in very late that day.
