chapter 38

He was so amused that Lu Zhanke barely restrained the impulse of laughing, staring innocently with his pair of bright big eyes and said, “I still want to chat, shall we?”

Ai Changhuan subconsciously refused, “No, of course not… Wait, what? You want to talk with me?”

After contacting Lu Zhanke’s joking glance, Ai Changhuan finally responded that she was tricked.

With a gloomy face, she chucked the quilt, then lay down, turned her back to Lu Zhanke and said, “Don’t chat, it’s easy to be thirsty.”

Although she spoke very calmly, in fact, Ai Changhuan had been secretly grinding her teeth. He dared to play tricks on her!

Seeing Ai Changhuan got angry, Lu Zhanke inevitably became awkward. He just wanted to tease her without the intention to overreach himself.

He knew she wouldn’t notice him if he pretended to have chest pain again.

He regretted it.

“Changhuan…” He tried to make up with her by tugging at the corner of her dress.

“What’s for?” Ai Changhuan answered in anger.

“That…” He blinked his eyes, trying to think of saying something that wouldn’t annoy her any more. “Oh, I just want to ask, how long have I been sleeping?”

It was a typical way to ask when he knew nothing else to say! Ai Changhuan answered seriously, “It has been three days since you were out of the operating room.”

“You have been by my side all these three days?” Lu Zhanke was a little moved.

“Yes, the doctor said…….” Recalling the doctor’s words that Lu Zhanke might never wake up, Ai Changhuan was grieved, so she did not want to recall the feeling again. She sighed heavily, and said, “Well, nothing, the best thing is that you have woken up.”

Hearing Ai Changhuan said so, Lu Zhanke’s was deeply touched. What he originally thought was that she at most just came to see him once, however, now he knew that she even kept with him so many days. He felt quite guilty, “ Are you tired? If tired, go to have a sleep, I promise not to disturb you.

Ai Changhuan’s body turned stiffed suddenly, then slowly turned around to look at Lu Zhanke, which represented she was not angry. She gently piped mouth, said, “you are still alive, this is better than everything. It doesn’t matter if you make me angry.”

“What a fool.” Lu Zhanke raised his hand, and gently scratched the tip of her nose, looking at her eyes in which he could see a lot of things: joy, love, pain, nostalgia, sentimental attachment, and overbearing airs. He was determined that on no account would he let her off easily.

“You called me an idiot again.” Ai Changhuan muttered a word, but could not help laughing, “It is good to hear you cursing, you know, I was really afraid, then. But I had no one to talk to.”

At that time, everyone was worried about Lu Zhanke, and all the guys were deeply depressed. She was afraid that speaking out her worries would only make them feel more stressed, so she had to endure and said nothing.

But now Lu Zhanke woke up, and she seemed to have found someone to rely on, so those words were involuntarily uttered. They confided to each other like the closest people.

Lu Zhanke obviously felt her different intimacy. A strong-willed and courageous young man as he is, he could not help being soft-hearted, whispered and comforted her, “I promise, I will never let you worry.”

Seen through, Ai Changhuan felt a bit embarrassed, “who is worried about you? I did not worry. I am not worried at all.”

“When I was in a coma, why did I seem to hear someone talking to me all the time? I had to wake up. Was it someone else?”

Ai Changhuan suddenly blushed, and she also stammered, “you you you…… You must have heard it wrong, you were hallucinating, hallucinating!”

“Okay, okay, it’s an illusion…” Seeing her getting agitated again, Lu Zhanke hurriedly stopped.

After a while he added, “I’m happy, really.”

Ai Changhuan turned and buried her face in the pillow, and no longer answered him.

Satisfied and silent, Lu Zhanke went to sleep with their hands and heads next to each other.

He had been sleeping until the afternoon. Lu Zhanke woke up when Ai Changhuan was still sleeping, but she had changed a posture, just like a koala, half embracing his body.

Once Lu Zhanke turned around he saw her sleeping on his shoulder. Judging from her eye bruises, he learned that she really didn’t have a good rest for a long time, and her hair was put up randomly. As he knew, she was smartly dressed even when she took a walk in the yard. It was not her style to be dressed in such an untidy manner.

But looking at Ai Changhuan, Lu Zhanke felt his heart was warmed. “This is my wife, and to be together with her is happier than anything else.”

In the evening, Lu Zhanke ate nutritious food cooked in the hospital. Because he was badly injured, he had to supplement nutrition in time.

But the food, although it was called nutritious food, it tasted really not delicious. Lu Zhanke barely ate two bites, and lost his appetite, which made Ai Changhuan anxious about him, and she urged him to eat a little more.

Lu Zhank felt his eyelids were hot and heavy, but he encouraged himself to talk with Ai Changhuan, “I don’t want to eat the hospital things… I want to eat your cuisine…”

In fact, his voice was very low, but Ai Changhuan thought he was deliberate, so she did not notice what was wrong.

“You can only eat this now, and when you get better, I will cook for you…” Ai Changhuan was cajoling him, as if treating him as a child, “Come on, eat more.”

“Really?” Lu Zhanke looked up at her slightly.

“What’s the ‘really’ for?

“Really… Cook it for me?”

“Of course it’s true… As long as it doesn’t taste bad.” Ai Changhuan did not tell him her cooking skills had soared because she wanted to give him a surprise.

She raised the spoon to his mouth and motioned him to open his mouth and eat more.

“What a pity… I didn’t have it last time…”

What he said was the last time when Ai Changhuan cooked food for him, and then she went to look for Du Yucheng. When she went back, she fainted, so none had the appetite to eat.

Ai Changhuan reached out to help him wipe a little sauce from his mouth. She comforted him, “Never mind, I will give you a better meal, but now, you have to eat up these things.”

With Ai Changhuan’s promise, Lu Zhanke lifted his spirit to eat the rest of the food.

Before sleep, Lu Zhanke told a joke, and then tried to let Ai Changhuan sleep with him, but she refused. She was afraid of pressing his wound. In order to appease his injured heart, Ai Changhuan also offered a kiss.

Maybe because of the afternoon sleep, in the evening Ai Changhuan did not sleep for a long time, lying in bed quietly counting sheep, and after sheep she began to count dumplings, but still could not resist being annoyed, wanting to turn over and move. In order not to wake up Lu Zhanke, she could only lie motionless.

At midnight, she was finally sleepy but had a nightmare. It was like something pressing on her chest, and she was almost out of breath. In the dream, an unseen monster kept chasing her, and the only thing she could do was to keep running, constantly running, however, at last the monster cornered her to the edge of the cliff.

In desperation, she wished someone would come to her rescue.

“Lu Zhanke, Lu Zhanke, Lu Zhanke!!” She woke up screaming from her nightmare, and the moon outside the window shining on the floor and the room coldly. Turning to see Zhan Ke lying on the side, Ai Changhuan felt relieved.

But she could not help worrying about him at the thought of that terrible dream.

She quickly got up and went to him, and by the moonlight, she saw Lu Zhanke’s brows tightly knit, his mouth still murmuring something.

Ai Changhuan hurried to open the bedside lamp, and Lu Zhanke’s pale cheeks looked abnormally red at the moment. She reached out to his forehead and she immediately got scared because Lu Zhanke’s forehead was extremely hot.

He had a fever!

Ai Changhuan knew it was not good, and daring not to ignore his symptom, she quickly ran out of the door to call the doctor.

What was the most terrible thing about the injured person was that the wound infection would cause fever and inflammation, because it would make the patient’s condition worse and it would become more difficult for him to recover. Ai Changhuan’s heart had been hanging tightly, daring not to be negligent at all.

While waiting, Ai Changhuan finally remembered that in the afternoon Lu Zhanke behaved a little strangely, but unfortunately she didn’t notice it at all.

Ai Changhuan was full of regret and self-blame. If something happened to Lu Zhanke, she would never be able to forgive herself for life.

Fortunately, after a hard night’s rescue, Lu Zhanke’s fever finally subsided.

At present, it was already bright, and Ai Changhuan was no longer drowsy. She chased the doctor and asked a lot of details such as what should be paid attention to when taking care of the patient, what could be touched and what could not be touched, and she kept all that the doctor to her, daring not to be careless.

At this time, a black car stopped at the hospital door, and the door of the driver’s seat opened, and a man in uniform and white gloves got out of the car. The man was broad-eyed and good-looking, but was unsmiling.

Everyone thought he was a big shot, but they never thought that he would open the back door of the car with a respectful look.

Then everyone understood that he was a driver. Then they couldn’t help getting more interested in the person in the back seat, because they wanted to know what kind of person would be with such a driver.

The door slowly opened, and everyone was staring in that direction. Some of them could not see clearly, and some even tiptoed for fear of missing something.

The first thing that appeared in everyone’s sight was a leather-enhancing leather shoe. Those who knew it recognized that the shoe was the latest handmade leather shoe of the year designed by a famous Italian designer, with only three pairs in the world.

This was not something one could buy with money.

In the midst of everyone’s admiration, the man finally got out of the car.

The first thing that caught everyone’s eyes was a pair of straight long legs, a fit black suit pants with straight seams, which made his figure look long and slender.
