Chapter 94: Chen Shu’s Sentiment (1)
At night, there was a torrential downpour. Covered by thick clouds, the sky was pitch-black, without stars or moon.
The rain poured down and hit the ground, making a dull noise. The rain all over the sky wove into a curtain. The weather was getting increasingly gloomier, weighing down on people’s hearts. For no reason, it made them distracted, and their thoughts were in turmoil.
Surrounded by reporters outside the hospital, the Huarui group had already deployed security guards. They sealed off the top floor of the hospital to prevent paparazzi from entering.
In the hospital late at night, it was tranquil. A big door blocked the noisy wind and rain. All the patients had fallen asleep. Occasionally, some doctors and nurses on night duty could be seen.
A particular ward was filled with a pungent smell of disinfectant. The curtains were ajar, and the moonlight was dimly visible.
The man in the patient’s robe was lying on the bed, with only a small lamp at the bedside turned on in the room. The faint light lit up his face.
Chen Shu was unconscious. His eyes were closed, and his brows were knitted, seemingly having a nightmare.
The rain hit the window frame, making a soft pitter-patter. Chen Shu, who was in a coma, returned to the abandoned night of his childhood—It was a similar rainy night.
Little Chen Shu was once again locked in the room by his mother, Cheng Yun.
The door was locked from the outside, and the light in the room was dim. Little Chen Shu curled up into a small ball and hid in the corner.
The heavy rain was blown by the violent wind, and the storm hit the window. As the window frame rang, Little Chen Shu was even more afraid, yet he didn’t dare to speak or make any noise.
At this time, the sound of an argument came from outside: it was Cheng Yun and his father in dispute. Cheng Yun’s tone was high, and her sharp voice came in, criticizing all kinds of bad things in their marriage.
Amid the sound of a suitcase being dragged on the floor and the grunt of wheels across the ground, Cheng Yun left, dropping one last sentence. “I’m leaving. Don’t ever come looking for me!”
Little Chen Shu got up from the ground and stumbled to the closed door. He slammed the door and cried, “Don’t go. Don’t leave me.”
His nightmare had raised its head again, causing Chen Shu’s whole body to turn cold. His heavy eyelids pressed against him.
That cold winter, Chen Shu couldn’t remember how long he had knocked on the door. The icy chill spread to his whole body. The nightmare haunted him, and he couldn’t keep his eyes open.
Until Chen Shu suddenly remembered Ye Sui’s face.
Ye Sui’s courage was very small. With the ability to see ghosts, she was most afraid of seeing them. Whenever she was scared, she would stay by his side.
A ghost in a haunted public mall, an empty bus full of ghosts, a city with a water ghost legend… Every time Ye Sui approached him, he misunderstood her actions.
Ye Sui’s hometown was quiet and peaceful, away from the city’s hustle and bustle.
On the road in the evening, the dusk light covered the way home. The sun slowly set as they walked back together.
Ye Sui had repaired his past traumas, and Chen Shu finally knew what a real home was. The past could not affect him anymore.
Chen Shu’s brain hurt. The night when both of them were drunk, the fragmented memory reappeared.
The couple, who had a weak drinking capacity, spoke their thoughts through drunkenness: I like you.
The good memories flashed back one after another. They were not like a replay, but rather like a long farewell. Suddenly, an overwhelming pain poked at his heart, reminding him of one thing.
In the cold night, their car drove on the road. Accompanied by deafening crashing sounds, the bitter and sweet voice of Ye Sui sounded in Chen Shu’s mind.
“Chen Shu, I like you.”
Chapter 94: Chen Shu’s Sentiment (2)
“Chen Shu, I like you.”
In the chaos, Chen Shu fiercely opened his eyes.
His blurred vision gradually became clear. Above his head was a white ceiling, which seemed to be surrounded by countless white rays.
Waking up, a thirsty and sore feeling filled his whole body, making it scream in pain. But Chen Shu didn’t care about himself. He supported himself and sat up.
What about Ye Sui? How was she now?
Chen Shu looked around and failed to find that familiar figure. His chest tightened, and his heart ached.
Dai Zhi, standing outside the ward waiting, saw Chen Shu through the glass window. He hurried towards him and was about to speak, but he immediately understood Chen Shu’s idea.
“Ye Sui is still in the emergency room. She may need surgery.” Dai Zhi frowned. “I’ve contacted her mother and will send someone to get her here.”
There weren’t too many wounds on Chen Shu’s body, and he was only temporarily unconscious.
Ye Sui was given a preliminary check-up just now. When Chen Shu woke up, her check-up had just been completed, and the doctor had to do an operation.
Chen Shu immediately got out of the bed. “Where is the emergency room?”
“Chen Shu, the doctor said you should take a good rest.” Dai Zhi’s tone was concerned. “Wang Chuan is staying in the emergency room.”
Chen Shu seemed to have heard nothing as he walked out of the ward without looking back.
Dai Zhi quickly followed. When the two of them reached the door of the emergency room, they saw the doctor talking to Wang Chuan.
The doctor, wearing a white coat and a mask, came out, his brow furrowed. “We must have the signature of Ye Sui’s immediate family member to perform the operation.”
Wang Chuan was shocked. Although they had contacted Ye Sui’s family, her mother could not come to the hospital on such short notice. What should they do now?
The doctor continued, “Is Ye Sui’s family here?”
Wang Chuan shook his head, sighed, and was about to open his mouth when a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
“I am here.” The voice was clear in the empty, silent hallway.
Wang Chuan was stunned. He turned around and saw the already awakened Chen Shu standing there. Wang Chuan let out a sigh of relief. “President, you’ve finally woken up.”
Chen Shu looked at the doctor, and his clear voice fell, “I am Ye Sui’s husband.”
The doctor’s frown eased a bit, and he beckoned to Chen Shu, “Come in with me and sign the form.”
Chen Shu followed the doctor into the office, leaving Wang Chuan and Dai Zhi outside. They finally came to their senses and looked at each other with wide eyes.
Wang Chuan was in disbelief. “Did you hear clearly just now?”
Dai Zhi nodded. “There is no problem with your ears. I also heard that Chen Shu and Ye Sui are married.”
Therefore, who lay in the emergency room was not only the most famous artist of Huarui but also the lady boss of Huarui.
If this incident was leaked, it would cause a sensation. They must contact the doctors and nurses present to ensure that the matter will not be known to the outside world.
Ye Sui and Chen Shu must be kept away from public interference during their rehabilitation.
Chen Shu walked out of the doctor’s office; however, Wang Chuan and Dai Zhi asked nothing. They just accompanied him and sat at the door of the operation room together.
Time passed by minutes and seconds. He didn’t know how long he had waited for, but the door of the room still hadn’t opened.
Outside the operating room, Chen Shu waited anxiously. He wore a thin patient’s robe, and it was also late at night. Gusts of the cold air would pass through the corridor occasionally.
Wang Chuan brought a coat to Chen Shu. “President, don’t tire your body.”
His next sentence was that Ye Sui would be fine.
Wang Chuan wanted to say, but he stopped. At a moment like now, any comfort to Chen Shu was just a reminder of the fact that Ye Sui was seriously injured.
Yan Lan was having dinner with her neighbors when she received the phone call. Ye Sui couldn’t go home often, so she sometimes invited her neighbors to come and chat.
Yan Lan didn’t worry about food and clothes anymore. She could not fully spend the money Ye Sui gave her. Every time Yan Lan told her not to send money, Ye Sui would say that it was the last time.
Although she complained a few times, she knew it was Ye Sui’s concern. Besides, Ye Sui would come to see her with Chen Shu whenever she was free. Not having anything to worry about, she looked much younger now.
“You have a good life. Your daughter is so dutiful to you,” The neighbor said enviously.
Yan Lan smiled and nodded repeatedly. Before she finished her dinner, her phone suddenly rang.
Yan Lan took a glance at the caller ID and spoke with a smile, “Xiao Liu, what’s the matter?”
