Chapter 583: Chapter 582: Luo Xiaolang Awakens (Third Update)
In the intensive care unit.
Ji Baijian’s face was all wrapped in gauze.
Only his nose and mouth were exposed, even his eyes were covered.
Song Zhizhi felt some emotional turbulence.
She just stared at him.
Stared at all the numerous tubes attached to his body, stared at his immobility.
“Let me take you in,” Jun Mingyu said.
Each time he came to see Ji Baijian, Emotional fluctuation also consumes Jun Mingyu.
If he hadn’t been imprisoned by his father that day, he should have arrived earlier, a bit earlier might not have led to this disastrous outcome.
His throat bobbed.
He pushed Song Zhizhi into the intensive care unit, next to Ji Baijian, and then silently left.
In the room, they were the only ones left.
Song Zhizhi reached out.
She wanted to touch his cheek, but in that moment, she did not know where she could touch!
Her stiff arm slowly lowered again.
Her eyes kept staring at Ji Baijian in front of her, staring intently.
Her throat hurt, it hurt so much she felt she couldn’t say a word.
How could she wake up Ji Baijian?
How could she make Ji Baijian live on?
Tears wouldn’t stop flowing.
It was as if she was likely to finish crying for a lifetime.
She opened her mouth.
She said, “Ji Baijian.”
Ji Baijian did not respond.
“Ji Baijian…”
Still, there was no response.
The view in front of her eyes was blurred.
She so wished.
She wished that he would respond every time she called him.
Just like before when she called him, he would respond “madam”.
She said, “Ji Baijian, can you open your eyes, can you look at me, can you not sleep like this?”
Could you not just be motionless?
Tears trickled down and lay on his hospital bed.
She leaned over to him, yet she didn’t dare to touch her face to his cheek. She said, with tears welled up in her eyes, “After discovering my family’s pursuit of power, I always wondered why I was reborn, and what my value is in reincarnation. Was my rebirth a joke from heaven? But now I don’t feel that way, I’m thankful for getting to live again, elated to have you, fortunate to meet you in a lively world, and love you.”
“Ji Baijian, I am pregnant.” Song Zhizhi said.
Finally, she told him.
“The doctor said, the baby is still there. She is really strong, a really resilient kid.”
Ji Baijian still showed no signs of response.
“Didn’t you want a child? You wanted one very much, didn’t you? Now open your eyes, wake up now, can we look forward to her birth together?”
Ji Baijian still remained the same.
Song Zhizhi looked at him, “Ji Baijian, beg you not to sleep so deeply, I beg you, no matter how long it takes, no matter how long it requires, you must wake up, you must wake up, I’ll wait for you forever, no matter how long, the baby and I will keep waiting for you.”
Ji Baijian remained motionless…
But Song Zhizhi thought, he would hear it.
She would visit every day and tell him these things. One day he would hear it, one day he would wake up.
She stayed a very long time in the intensive care unit with Ji Baijian.
She cried and called out for Ji Baijian.
Until… her body couldn’t hold on anymore, and the doctor and nurse had to take her away.
She Just woke up, her body was weak, very weak in fact.
Song Zhizhi was wheeled out of Ji Baijian’s room.
When she left, she looked back.
It felt like she could see a slight movement in Ji Baijian’s fingers, was it… just an illusion?
She was wheeled away.
At this moment, she didn’t resist.
She knew that if she couldn’t hold on, Ji Baijian really wouldn’t have any chances to wake up.
All she could do was let herself survive first, live a healthy life, and then keep staying with Ji Baijian, accompany him to wake up.
She suddenly called out to Jun Mingyu.
“Wait.”
Jun Mingyu’s gaze flickered.
The person standing in front of them with crutches was Yin Qin.
He saw Song Zhizhi, he was quite surprised.
At that moment, he was very serious, unlike his usual casual self, He asked her, “Are you awake?”
Song Zhizhi nodded.
“And Baijian?”
Song Zhizhi shook her head.
Yin Qin nodded, as if this was within his expectations.
With his crutches, He slowly passed by Song Zhizhi.
“Yin Qin, where’s Xiaolang?”
“Xiaolang will wake up.” Yin Qin affirmed.
Song Zhizhi bit her lip, suppressing immense discomfort in her heart.
It’s like everything…
Everything happened because of her.
Yin Qin didn’t say more, just walked past her.
Song Zhizhi was pushed back to her ward by Jun Mingyu.
Upon her return.
Song Zhizhi’s physical strength faltered, and she passed out again.
It happened again and again.
Song Zhizhi’s health gradually improved, she spent most of her time going to Ji Baijian’s ward, and also visiting Luo Xiaolang’s.
Luo Xiaolang was still unconscious in the intensive care unit.
Apart from her, Yin Qin also watched over him from outside the room every day.
Just standing outside.
The person taking care of and accompanying him in the room was Joe.
Ever since Luo Xiaolang was in trouble, Joe dropped his international competition to accompany him. Joe even announced his temporary retirement and didn’t mention when he’d return to professional gaming. Joe’s rumored to have completely quit the gaming world for the sake of Luo Xiaolang.
Another day came.
Song Zhizhi left Ji Baijian’s ward.
After half a month of recuperation, she no longer needed a wheelchair.
But she needed to stay cautious.
The child in her belly, her and Ji Baijian’s treasure, she cherished it so much.
She slowly walked out and saw Yin Qin standing outside another intensive care unit with his crutches, watching Joe tending to Luo Xiaolang through the glass.
Song Zhizhi once asked Yin Qin why he didn’t accompany Luo Xiaolang inside.
He said.
He was a disaster for Luo Xiaolang.
Luo Xiaolang was in this condition because of him, if keeping his distance will let Luo Xiaolang live a healthy life, he swore he’d never approach her again.
Song Zhizhi could empathize with Yin Qin’s feelings.
She knew he was genuinely scared, scared that Luo Xiaolang might die…
So he chose to watch over from afar.
Being able to see that she was alive was enough for him.
Today, the intensive care unit seemed different.
Because Luo Xiaolang woke up.
She had regained some consciousness a few days earlier, but today, she finally opened her eyes.
Joe stayed by her side all the way, minding her every care.
While Yin Qin still just stood there.
He saw Luo Xiaolang opening her eyes, a patch of his eyes moistened.
“Xiaolang has woken up.” Song Zhizhi said, her eyes becoming red too.
Yin Qin nodded, his throat kept thumping.
“Won’t you come inside?” Song Zhizhi asked.
Yin Qin shook his head as he smiled.
As long as she’s alive.
As long as she’s alive…
As for him, he should have disappeared long ago.
Song Zhizhi walked inside.
At that moment, Xiaolang was still lying on the bed, her eyes moved slightly when she saw Song Zhizhi. She didn’t say anything, but it was obvious that her consciousness was clear.
The doctors said Luo Xiaolang should be discharged from the hospital after some observation.
As long as she wakes up.
Yet, Ji Baijian, has been sleeping for almost a month now.
The wounds on his body had scabs, but he simply wouldn’t open his eyes.
Song Zhizhi composed herself.
After adjusting for half a month, she had calmed down a lot.
She reminded herself, as long as Ji Baijian still had a heartbeat, he was alive. As long as he was alive, no matter the condition, she would always stay by his side.
She gently held Luo Xiaolang’s hand.
She said, “Xiaolang, thank you.”
Without her.
Everyone would have died by now.
Luo Xiaolang simply shook her head.
There really was no need for any gratitude; it was something she chose to do.
Song Zhizhi stayed with Luo Xiaolang for a long time that day, but by the time she left, Yin Qin was nowhere to be seen.
Yin Qin did not reappear even a month later when Luo Xiaolang had mostly recovered.
Perhaps, he really chose to let go.
And it has to be said, Joe has been really good to Xiaolang. He cared for her in every way possible, genuinely abandoning his beloved professional gaming career for her.
Luo Xiaolang also seemed visibly happy with Joe.
Their relationship wasn’t flashy, but the sense of support and companionship between them made it seem so beautiful.
Watching them together, Song Zhizhi pondered whether Luo Xiaolang should be with Joe, even if during this accident, it was obvious Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang cared deeply for each other. Even though Luo Xiaolang never expressed it, her actions towards Yin Qin spoke volumes.
But… Love needs to be patient and persistent above all else.
