The door of the emergency room opened, and Qi Yan, who was hooked onto a ventilator, was pushed out. The nurse stopped everyone from surrounding him, “The patient is still very weak, please don’t approach him, so as not to cause any infections.”
Everyone who was very excited stopped immediately and craned their necks to look at Qi Yan, but only saw a tuft of hair on his head.
Seeing that they were very cooperative, the medical staff were relieved. Sometimes they would encounter some unreasonable family members who insisted on seeing the patient regardless of the consequences. They didn’t know what happened to this young man but there were so many wounds on his body. The most terrifying was the wound on his arm. It seemed that he was cut open by some blunt instrument and lost a lot of blood.
They heard that this young man suffered many injuries for the sake of the country, and they felt respect in their hearts. Just by looking at the wound, they knew how painful it was when it was cut open. If it were them, they probably would not make it, but this young man had a strong desire to live, so the operation was successful.
Qi Yan felt that he was in a dream. In the dream, he was wearing shorts and swimming in the small river at the foot of the mountain. The water was cool. He dived into the water and grabbed a big fish and turned to his master on the opposite side, “Master, we are making pickled fish today.”
“Why pickled fish, we should braise it,” His master knocked on his pipe and patted his robe, “Let’s go back and cook.”
Qi Yan pouted unhappily. Why is he the one cooking again. It’s not his turn today. He swam to the shore, and when he was about to climb up, a cold hand emerged from the bottom of the water and grabbed his foot, dragging him into the water. Qi Yan didn’t have time to speak before he was submerged in the water.
Gulp.
His eyes widened, water poured into his nose and ears, and the world became quiet. A beam of purple light suddenly shone through the water, driving away the darkness. He stared at the beam of purple light in a daze, and his body started to sink.
Suddenly the beam of purple light surrounded him, and he was like a small fish trapped in a bubble, slowly rising to the surface. As he was rising, he saw green grass, sky blue as the sea, and clouds white as cotton candy.
Above the clouds, golden light shone in all directions. He reached out and touched the purple bubble and the golden light shone all over his body. The breeze was blowing and he thought that this must be how it felt like to fly.
Burst.
The purple bubble burst suddenly, and he started to plunge. The moment he fell on the grass, he only had one feeling, and that was pain, boundless pain.
“It hurts…”
Qi Yan opened his eyes and saw a white wall, blue curtains, and a large LCD TV hanging on the opposite wall. The whole room was unbelievably quiet.
This is… a ward? He could even smell the faint smell of disinfectant. The pain in his arm made his somewhat chaotic brain gradually return to normal. It seemed that the Nine Cauldron Formation had succeeded, otherwise he would not be lying in the hospital, but in the cemetery.
The doctor who was dressing Qi Yan’s wound saw Qi Yan woke up with a look of ecstasy on his face, turned around and rang the bell on the wall.
“The patient is awake!”
Cen Baihe, who hadn’t slept well for several days, just closed his eyes when he heard it. He immediately got up from the bed at the lounge. As he moved too fast, he stumbled a little. If Big He hadn’t supported him, he would have fallen to the ground.
“Fifth Master, be careful.”
Cen Baihe ignored him and pushed his hand away. He hurried to the intensive care unit next door.
The door of the intensive care unit was closed, and Cen Baihe couldn’t enter, but fortunately the curtains were not drawn, so he could see the inside of the room through the window. However, several doctors gathered around the hospital bed, so he couldn’t see Qian Qian.
Seeing how worried the boss was, Big He couldn’t help but sigh deeply. He had never seen his boss like that before. He didn’t care about the company, nor did he go home. Instead, he stayed in the hospital all day long. The moment he heard something, he would get up and take a look. It didn’t seem like he was just caring for a friend but…
He shuddered inwardly, suppressing his thoughts.
“Pupillary reflexes are normal.”
“The heartbeat is normal.”
“The pulse is normal.”
“Mr. Qi, you have been seriously injured. We are your attending doctors. Please don’t get emotional. We will not hurt you.” Many patients who had been seriously injured would resist the staff as they were still confused. In this case, they had to try their best to appease the patient, so that the patient understood that they were safe and would not be hurt again.
Although they didn’t know what this young man had experienced, judging from the wounds on his body, the perpetrator must be very cruel, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many wounds and so much loss of blood.
Some of the staff members had already made up the story that he was fighting against an evil force and was tortured, so Qi Yan had become a national hero in their eyes.
Qi Yan blinked and wanted to bend his wrist, but found that even moving his finger was painful enough to make him sweat.
“Your injuries are very serious,” The attending doctor explained in a low voice when he saw Qi Yan’s look, “We dare not use a lot of painkillers on you, for fear that it will affect your body.”
Qi Yan blinked again, opened his mouth to speak, but found that his throat was so dry that he couldn’t make a sound.
The doctor took off his ventilator, injected a bit of salty and sweet liquid into his mouth, and then put a layer of cool ointment on his face and body.
After some time, all the doctors who surrounded him finally went out, leaving only one nurse to check on the equipment. Qi Yan pursed his lips, missing the pickled fish that he hadn’t had time to eat in his dream.
The door of the ward was pushed open again, but Qi Yan was afraid of the pain, so he didn’t turn his head to look. He didn’t know who the person was until he walked over to his bed and called out to him
“Qian Qian…” Cen Baihe walked over to the bed in sterile clothes and sat down, his voice trembled slightly when he saw Qi Yan’s arm, “Wangxiang Town is fine, someone found two corpses in the mountains .”
Qi Yan thought to himself, this must be the consequence of the formation. But his intuition told him that the real mastermind behind this was still alive, and all those who died were just the subordinates. He couldn’t explain why, but he trusted his guts.
Does Baihe have a cold? Why is his voice so unpleasant? When they first met and heard Baihe’s charming deep voice, his first thought was that if he became a voice actor, he would definitely be able to mesmerize so many people.
Seeing Qi Yan’s blinking eyes, Cen Baihe bent down to let him see himself a little more clearly, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll watch over you on the outside.”
Qi Yan was not afraid at all. He had destroyed the Heavenly Sacrifice Formation and the Locked Tiger Formation at the same time and remained alive. Even the meridians in his body showed signs of widening, so he was not afraid at all. If he survived this, he would have good fortune in the future.
Looking at Cen Baihe’s face again, there was no shortage of good fortune and longevity. The most important thing was that the beautiful golden light of merit and virtue on top of his purple energy was denser than those who had cultivated it for more than a decade.
So, they had actually gained something this time! He felt a little bit of joy after thinking about it.
“Zhao Zhicheng gave me your phone, and I stopped everyone who was looking for you,” Cen Baihe didn’t dare to touch Qi Yan, but cautiously touched a loose hair on his head, “A friend of yours wanted to have a meal with you, I lied to him saying that you’re busy, you won’t blame me, will you?”
Qi Yan: …
“But even if you do, we’ll talk about it when you get better,” Cen Baihe said in a low and hoarse voice, “Get well soon, Qian Qian.”
Through the sterile protective cover, Qi Yan saw the distress and worry in Cen Baihe’s eyes. He thought for a while, and endured the pain to smile at Cen Baihe. He felt that if he didn’t respond, Cen Baihe would cry.
He was a good friend, so even if it hurt, he couldn’t watch him cry.
“Rest well, I’ll see you again in the afternoon.” Seeing the smile on Qi Yan’s face, Cen Baihe slightly averted his eyes and strode out of the ward. The moment the door was closed, he leaned against the wall and sat on the ground.
“Baihe.” When the Third Master Cen came, he saw his brother sitting on the ground in a stuffy sterile suit. The two bodyguards and members from the National Security Bureau were standing beside him, not knowing how to console him. He stepped forward and took off Cen Baihe’s head covering, “Do you want to suffocate yourself in it?”
“Brother?” Cen Baihe stood up from the ground, turned his head and walked towards the lounge. Seeing this, Third Master Cen was worried and followed him.
“Baihe, look at you.” Third Master Cen closed the door and said helplessly, “Even if you are worried about Master Qi, you should take good care of your body. Otherwise, you’ll be in the hospital when he comes out.”
“I won’t,” Cen Baihe said in a hoarse voice, “Qian Qian said that from now on, I will live a long life.”
“Are you serious?!” Third Master Cen was overjoyed, “Master Qi really said that?”
Cen Baihe laughed at himself, “Yes, a long life with good health.”
“You…”
“Brother, do you know what love is?”
The lounge suddenly became quiet, and Third Master Cen looked at Cen Baihe silently. After a long time he sighed, “Yes.”
“Tell me, am I in love with Qian Qian?”
Third Master Cen wanted to say no, but seeing his younger brother’s haggard look with red and swollen eyes, he couldn’t say it.
Although he didn’t speak, it didn’t affect Cen Baihe. He stared out the window in a daze and very gently, he said, “I think I’m in love with him.”
