Song Luosheng left after staying for over half an hour, mainly because Song Luokui and Chi Yu kept smiling at each other while eating, which he couldn't bear to watch.
However, remembering his promise not to interfere with whatever Song Luokui and Chi Yu did once she woke up from her coma, he didn't say anything more. After the couple finished eating, Song Luosheng stayed for a bit longer before leaving with Aunt Gui.
With only Song Luokui and Chi Yu left in the room, Song Luokui looked at Chi Yu and asked, "Don't you need to go to the company?"
Chi Yu shook his head, "There are so many people at the company. If they can't manage without me, I'd have to replace all of them."
Song Luokui hugged him, "Thank you for your hard work."
Chi Yu looked at the sunlight outside the window, remembering when she had just woken up. "Would you like to go out and soak up some sun?"
Song Luokui nodded, "Sure."
Chi Yu quickly brought over the wheelchair. He carefully lifted Song Luokui into it, draped a jacket over her shoulders, and hung a water bottle on the chair before pushing her out.
As soon as they left the room, they encountered a nurse who greeted them. Since Song Luokui's hospitalization, all the nurses in the hospital had learned about the incredibly beautiful young woman in the VIP ward who had finally awakened after a month-long coma.
Everyone said it was her handsome fiancé's daily care that had moved the heavens. The nurses had never seen such a well-matched couple before, and now they were all peeking out from the nurses' station to watch as the man pushed his partner out for a walk.
Chi Yu wheeled Song Luokui to a small garden nearby. The sun was quite strong at that moment, so Chi Yu, worried about the heat, positioned Song Luokui under a tree. "Shall we stay here?" he asked.
Song Luokui nodded, "Yes."
She lifted her head to look at the leaves above. Sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground and across her body.
Song Luokui squinted, shading her eyes with her hand as she gazed at the blue sky, occasionally spotting a low-flying airplane.
It felt so good to be alive.
Chi Yu crouched beside her, holding her hand as they looked up together. Song Luokui finally spoke, "When I was in a coma, there was this faceless thing trying to kill me. It trapped us in a dark room, but in the end, I killed it and escaped. I finally saw the sunlight again."
"The sunlight on my skin... it really is quite warm," Song Luokui mused.
Chi Yu tightened his grip on her hand, resting his head on her leg. "You were so brave!"
Song Luokui chuckled, "I learned how to fight from watching you and my brother when we were kids. Aren't I awesome for taking that thing down?"
Chi Yu agreed, "You are."
Song Luokui said, "My brother has worked hard too. Please thank everyone for me. When I'm better, I'll come back to the company and treat everyone to a meal."
Yu Hui smiled, "I'll definitely convey the boss's feelings to everyone."
Later, Zhou Yuan and others, even Li Yanbei from Chi Yu's side, came to visit. Song Luokui spent almost the entire day receiving visitors.
However, Chi Yu and Song Luosheng eventually became concerned about disturbing her rest and stopped allowing further visitors, saying they could all have dinner together after she was discharged.
Song Luokui counted on her fingers, "I haven't even left the hospital yet, and I already owe so many meals."
Chi Yu reassured her, "It's fine, I'll accompany you to all of them."
"Mm-hmm."
After waking up, Song Luokui stayed in the hospital for another month. When the doctor finally cleared her for discharge, she wore a red outfit, crossed over a pan of fire, and firecrackers were set off. Both the Song and Chi parents happily came to pick her up.
The two families had a feast at the Song residence, with a large table laden with delicacies such as abalone, shark fin soup, roast suckling pig, roast duck, roast goose, roast chicken, lobster, hairy crabs, and many more dishes.
"Cheers!" Everyone clinked glasses happily. Song Luokui was drinking a soft drink, while the others were drinking alcohol.
Song Moqian said, "I hope everyone will have peace and success in the future."
Chi Yong added, "I hope our two families will live in harmony and be blessed with good fortune."
"Let's toast again!" they exclaimed.
Today, everyone was in high spirits. At the dinner table, Song Moqian and Chi Yong were talking and drinking simultaneously. Sheng Rong and Yan Sui tried to persuade them to slow down, but to no avail. Sheng Rong even wiped the corner of her eye; they were truly happy.
At their age, isn't the greatest wish for their children to be safe and happy? Thankfully, thankfully, it seemed to be coming true.
Song Luokui poured a glass for Song Luosheng, saying, "Thank you for taking care of me, brother. I'd like to propose a toast to you."
Chi Yu chimed in, "I'd also like to propose a toast to my brother."
Song Luosheng got goosebumps, "Who told you to call me brother?"
Song Luokui playfully coaxed, "Brother~"
Song Luosheng relented, "Alright, alright. I'll return the toast to you both."
