“There is another matter which makes me more confused.”
Xiao Yunyun held her chin with her arm and looked at Shen Yuechuan with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with curiosity.
“Well.” Shen Yuechuan motioned for Xiao Yunyun to continue, “What are you talking about?”
“Seventh Brother—ah, forget it. I’d better call him Boss Mu,” Xiao Yunyun said, “What Boss Mu wanted to say just now is obviously related to me. Why didn’t he say it in front of me but asked you to send me back?”
“…” Shen Yuechuan thought for a moment and finally came up with a reasonable excuse for Mu Sijue. “He wasn’t sure if his friend would be able to cure your hand. So he probably doesn’t want to let you down in the future.”
Xiao Yunyun shook her head and said with an expression which implied, ‘I’m not so gullible’, “Boss Mu—didn’t seem to care about my opinion of him.”
“…” Seeing that the trick had failed, Shen Yuechuan could only tell her the truth. “Xu Youning has had quite a great impact on Mu Qi. Mu Qi basically doesn’t ask women to do things for him now. And he even rarely talks with any female subordinates.”
“Oh.” Xiao Yunyun was a bit surprised. “Youning hurt Boss Mu this much?”
Shen Yuechuan reminded her, “Mu Qi won’t like you calling him like that.”
“It’s his choice to like it or not. But it’s up to me to choose the way to call him.” Xiao Yunyun blinked her eyes and smiled as if she had bad intentions. “Shen Yuechuan, can I cause such a great impact on you?”
Obviously, it was a tough question to answer.
Shen Yuechuan encircled Xiao Yunyun’s waist with his arms and said calmly, “Call me brother like Youning does, and I’ll tell you the answer.”
As expected, Xiao Yunyun turned her head. She didn’t want to talk to Shen Yuechuan at all, not to mention doing what he requested.
Shen Yuechuan resolved a crisis just like that and smoothly brought the topic back to the right track. “About Mu Qi introducing a doctor to you, Do you have anything to say?”
“Of course,” Xiao Yunyun said with a smile, “the next time I see Boss Mu, I will definitely say thank you to him!”
In terms of the ability to change the topic, Xiao Yunyun was second to none.
Shen Yuechuan had to emphasize, “I mean, it can be hope. Don’t you have any expectations on this doctor’s medical skills?”
Xiao Yunyun raised her head and looked at Shen Yuechuan for a moment. “To be honest, I don’t.”
“Hmm?” Shen Yuechuan was quite curious. “Why?”
“Because as long as I don’t hold any expectations, I will never be disappointed.” Xiao Yunyun said with a calm face, “If Boss Mu’s friend can help me recover, I will thank him for the rest of my life. If he can’t, it means that I’d better cut off the expectation. It doesn’t matter. I have accepted this possibility, and I won’t be sad again. So, it’s not that I’m not hopeful, but I’m open to any kind of possibility.”
“…” Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun and didn’t know what to say for a while.
Xiao Yunyun tilted her head and asked with a smile, “Don’t you think it’s a wonderful way of viewing it?”
Shen Yuechuan held Xiao Yunyun’s face and kissed her gently on the lips. After quite a long while, he let go of her and said,
“No matter what the result is, I will face it with you.”
“Thank you.” Xiao Yunyun took the initiative to kiss Shen Yuechuan’s lips. After a pause, she added, “Actually, I do believe that miracles can happen.”
“What miracle?”
Shen Yuechuan really wanted to hear what kind of strange logic Xiao Yunyun would tell this time.
Xiao Yunyun counted one by one with her fingers.
“A year ago, I was pissed at my mom and said yes to the dean’s offer to come to City A for exchange. I used to think it wouldn’t go well, but I met you here.”
“Then, you pretended to be in a relationship with Lin Zhixia and bought a proposal ring. I thought that that was the end between us, so I wanted to destroy her. However, it somehow ended up tormenting me, but in the end, I got you.”
“Now, Dr. Zhang and the other experts all said that my hope of recovery is very slim. But, Boss Mu brought us a hope—this time, maybe a miracle will appear again!”
Her eyes were shining, and the optimistic look of her expectation for the future made her whole person shine.
Shen Yuechuan touched her head with a smile. “Yunyun, can you always be so optimistic?”
If she could, he would no longer have anything to worry about.
“I can as long as you can always be with me.”
Xiao Yunyun smiled. She seemed to be joking but also looked serious.
In fact, there was no one in the world who could be optimistic when faced with anything.
It was all because of love.
Perhaps it was because she had dear family and friends, or maybe it was because she had someone she deeply loved. They were always by her side, and they were her source of power. That was why she was always optimistic.
Xiao Yunyun’s secret of optimism was Shen Yuechuan.
“Okay.” Shen Yuechuan looked into Xiao Yunyun’s eyes as if he was committing to her. “As long as I’m alive, I’ll always stay by your side.”
Xiao Yunyun didn’t understand the profound meaning behind Shen Yuechuan’s words. She excitedly stretched out her finger and said, “Pinky swear!”
A pinky swear was a childish trick. Shen Yuechuan hadn’t tried it after he turned seven. However, looking at Xiao Yunyun’s excited look, he still hooked her white and slender fingers with his and made a seal with her.
Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan attentively, and her almond-shaped eyes were full of smiles. “I think there should be another procedure to make the promise.”
Shen Yuechuan asked in confusion, “What procedure?”
Xiao Yunyun raised her head and kissed Shen Yuechuan’s lips.
Although they had kissed many times, the kisses had always been initiated by Shen Yuechuan. Xiao Yunyun’s kissing skills could be said to be at the kindergarten level. It was rare for her to take the initiative, and she just stuck her lips on Shen Yuechuan’s.
However, that was enough for Shen Yuechuan.
Shen Yuechuan moved his lips, held Xiao Yunyun’s lips, and naturally deepened the kiss.
“Oh…”
Xiao Yunyun took a clumsy breath, looking for an opportunity to respond to Shen Yuechuan. Although her movements were rough, she still made Shen Yuechuan crazy.
By the time Xiao Yunyun was almost out of breath, Shen Yuechuan finally let go of her reluctantly. He leaned against her forehead and asked, “Shall I take you to take a shower?”
Xiao Yunyun licked her lips sweetly and said, “Okay.”
After washing up, they cuddled and lay on the bed. Shen Yuechuan told her, “Don’t go down alone again.”
Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan with a smile. “Are you afraid that I’ll run into Lin Zhixia again?”
“I’m terrified that Lin Jiuxia may hurt you,” Shen Yuechuan said, “What if she rushes toward you like today when you are by yourself?”
“So stupid.” Xiao Yunyun poked Shen Yuechuan’s forehead. “Just tell the security department of the hospital to stop Lin Zhixia from entering the hospital again. Isn’t that enough?”
“Good idea.” Shen Yuechuan kissed Xiao Yunyun’s eyes. “Go to sleep.”
Xiao Yunyun closed her eyes and soon fell into a sweet dream.
The fact that there was little hope for her right hand to recover did not affect her much.
It was because, in her mind, since she had lost the fitness of her right hand, if she didn’t sleep well, she would lose more.
Besides, she firmly believed that after hearing the bad news from the doctor, since Boss Mu brought her the good news, there should be a miracle!
The next day, Xiao Yunyun woke up early. Seeing that Shen Yuechuan was still asleep, she pursed her lips and lay quietly on his chest. Her breath was full of his unique scent, which made her feel at ease.
But it didn’t take long for her to feel the hunger.
“After all, we’ve slept for eight hours. It should be okay to wake up Shen Yuechuan, shouldn’t it?”
While thinking, Xiao Yunyun had already taken action. She patted Shen Yuechuan on the shoulder and said, “Shen Yuechuan.”
“…” Shen Yuechuan didn’t respond at all.
Xiao Yunyun didn’t overthink. She just thought that Shen Yuechuan was immersed in his sleep. She used her hair to sweep over his face, but he still didn’t respond.
This was strange. Most people would react. Could it be that her movement was too light?
Xiao Yunyun slowed down her movement unwillingly and shouted in a loud voice, “Shen Yuechuan!”
After a while, Shen Yuechuan slowly opened his eyes.
Everything was blurred in Shen Yuechuan’s eyes. His brain seemed to have been emptied of memory. For a moment, he couldn’t remember or recall anything. It took him quite a while to come to his senses.
It was one of the symptoms of his illness.
Henry once said that he might leave the world in one of his dreams.
If Xiao Yunyun hadn’t woken him up today…
Shen Yuechuan didn’t dare to continue to imagine.
He held aside Xiao Yunyun’s hair and hugged her. “Morning.”
“Morning.” Xiao Yunyun’s eyes were full of doubts. “Are you very tired? I’ve called you so many times, but you haven’t woken up the whole time…”
“A little bit.” Shen Yuechuan pretended to be relaxed. “Recently, I’ve been competing with the Zhong Group for a project. I’ve been working all day long every day. I’ve been really busy. So my sleep is heavy.”
Xiao Yunyun had something else to say, but before she could say anything, Shen Yuechuan had already caught her lips and blocked all her words.
After a deep kiss, Xiao Yunyun was so trapped in the kiss that she couldn’t remember anything. She could only gasp and stare at Shen Yuechuan in a daze.
She had just woken up, and her face, which had not been adorned with makeup, was clean and charming. Her almond-shaped eyes were blurred, which inadvertently touched his nerves.
Shen Yuechuan clearly felt something stirring in the depths of his body, but his reason kept warning him—no, he couldn’t do anything that might hurt Xiao Yunyun.
Xiao Yunyun only noticed that there was a change in Shen Yuechuan’s gaze. She looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing.” Shen Yuechuan tried to hide it and sat up naturally. “What do you want to eat? I can ask someone to deliver the breakfast.”
“Let’s have breakfast at the hospital today,” Xiao Yunyun said, “We can go to the diner. I don’t want to eat in the ward anymore.”
Naturally, Shen Yuechuan had no objection. He held up Xiao Yunyun and said, “Go brush your teeth first.”
After breakfast, Dr. Zhang came to find Shen Yuechuan and told him that Xiao Yunyun should be transferred to the rehabilitation department.
Xiao Yunyun asked nervously, “Doctor Zhang, what will happen to me after I’m transferred to the rehabilitation department?”
“It’s hard to say.” Dr. Zhang seemed to be in a dilemma. “Our hospital has the best rehabilitation doctor in the world, but he is not very confident about your situation. It depends on your recovery condition.”
“Thank you, I see.”
Although Xiao Yunyun tried her best to maintain courtesy, it was hard to hide the disappointment in her tone.
Shen Yuechuan went to the company after finishing the formalities for Xiao Yunyun. He didn’t seem to be reassured before leaving, so Xiao Yunyun had to make a promise to him. “Don’t forget what I said yesterday. I won’t let my imagination run wild.”
Shen Yuechuan kissed Xiao Yunyun and then went to the company with peace of mind.
Although Xiao Yunyun said so, she still couldn’t help worrying. In the afternoon, she simply asked the nurse to push her downstairs to feel the breeze while waiting for Shen Yuechuan to come back.
Before long, Xiao Yunyun saw Shen Yuechuan coming back. She was about to call him, but an old foreign doctor in a white coat called out Shen Yuechuan’s English name first…
