"I’ve heard that miracles really do exist. As long as the person you love stays by your side, even an idiot can wake up!"

"Heehee." Yu Sangwan’s face blossomed into a smile. "Who did you hear that from?"

"Don’t change the subject!" Lu Jinxuan was very serious. "Tell me, will you really get tired and dump me? We already have two kids... could you really be that heartless?"

Seeing him anxious, Yu Sangwan cupped his face. "Dummy... no. If that day really comes, I’ll find a place and take you, Little Mantou, and our little Princess. We’ll all live together—Little Mantou will take care of the Princess, I’ll take care of you, and our family will never be separated."

Lu Jinxuan’s heart felt warm. "I knew it."

"You’re such an idiot!" Yu Sangwan chuckled softly. "Stop overthinking! You’re the youngest president in the history of Z Country—brave, mighty, a national male god—nothing and no one is going to knock you down."

"..." Lu Jinxuan stayed silent for a long time. "Mm... it’s been a long day. Go inside and rest."

"Okay."

Yu Sangwan nodded, stepping backward one step at a time.

The way she looked was clearly reluctant to leave. "I’m going now!"

"Mm." Lu Jinxuan nodded, watching her, his feelings a tangled mess. Taotao, I’m not overthinking it... I’m afraid that day really will come, when I become a useless wreck. But I’m selfish— even if I become a wreck, I still want you by my side.

I believe only you can wake me up!

Suddenly, Yu Sangwan turned back around and ran toward Lu Jinxuan.

Lu Jinxuan was stunned, then opened his arms and caught Yu Sangwan as she jumped into him.

Without pausing for a second, Yu Sangwan lowered her head and kissed him. Their lips and teeth tangled as she said, "I can’t bear to see you go. I don’t want to be apart from you."

"Then..." Lu Jinxuan laughed. "Why don’t we get a room? How about it?"

It really wasn’t convenient at home, and they honestly hadn’t been intimate in a long time.

Yu Sangwan bit down on her teeth, her cheeks blazing red. "Mm! Let’s get a room!" Because he was in the middle of treatment and recovery, Le Zhengsheng hadn’t been going to the hospital during this period.

To take care of Little Mantou, he had basically been going back to live in the villa his father arranged.

But he would still come back regularly for check-ups.

As for this life of his, even though he himself no longer held out much hope, there were still many people around him who cherished it.

After finishing his tests and coming out, Le Zhengsheng turned and saw Gu Xiaoning busy in the corridor.

It had been some days since he’d seen her. Le Zhengsheng thought for a moment, then walked over.

Gu Xiaoning seemed a bit absent-minded, looking like her heart wasn’t in it.

Someone in front was pushing a gurney over, calling out, "Xiao Gu, move aside! Let the cart through!"

"..." Gu Xiaoning didn’t react at all, lost in her own thoughts.

"Xiao Gu!" The person pushing the cart got anxious.

Suddenly, something tightened around Gu Xiaoning’s waist. An arm slid across her chest and pulled her whole body into an embrace, gently drawing her backward.

"..." Gu Xiaoning froze, and by instinct opened her mouth and bit down on Le Zhengsheng’s arm.

"Tsk!" Le Zhengsheng frowned. "Gu Xiaoning!"

"Huh?" Gu Xiaoning startled, whipped around, and bumped straight into Le Zhengsheng’s chest. She subconsciously rubbed her nose and grumbled, "Ouch!"

Le Zhengsheng was so mad he was practically smoking. "Gu Xiaoning! And you still say ouch?"

He lifted his arm in front of her. "Are you a dog or something? Biting me? What if you broke the skin?"

"Ah!"

Gu Xiaoning jumped, then looked up at him cautiously. "Are you okay? I didn’t do it on purpose... Who told you to be so quiet and suddenly grab people?"

"Huh?" Le Zhengsheng was furious. "Gu Xiaoning, you think I wanted to hold you? You think you’re some stunning beauty of the ages, a peerless national goddess? You’re on duty, but your soul’s off who-knows-where! They’re pushing a cart at you and yelling for you to move, and you’re just standing there like a log! I was being nice!"

Gu Xiaoning poked her fingers together. "I’m sorry, okay? Calm down."

"Hmph!" Le Zhengsheng snorted coldly. A young master’s temper wasn’t that easy to appease.

"Let me see."

Gu Xiaoning craned her neck, grabbed his arm, and said, "Let me see if you’re bleeding. You really can’t afford to bleed! If even a little bit of blood seeps out, I’m dead meat!"

Seeing how nervous she was actually made Le Zhengsheng feel rather pleased.

"Good, good." After checking his arm, Gu Xiaoning let out a sigh of relief. "Looks like I didn’t really bite anything important."

The corner of Le Zhengsheng’s mouth twitched. "Nurse Gu, this isn’t the arm you bit."

"Huh?" Gu Xiaoning blinked, then burst out laughing. "Hahaha... hahahaha..."

Le Zhengsheng glared. "And you’re still laughing? Good thing you’re not a doctor, otherwise... someone breaks their left leg and you’d insist on taking off their right one!"

"Haha..." Gu Xiaoning covered her mouth, then picked up his other hand.

There was a little tooth mark on it... Gu Xiaoning smiled. "Just a mark, the skin’s not broken. That’s okay, that’s okay."

"Tsk." Le Zhengsheng raised his hand and rubbed her head. "Pull yourself together. What were you thinking about?"

"Heehee." Gu Xiaoning grinned. "Got it. You’re here for a follow-up? So, heading out now?"

Le Zhengsheng glanced at his watch. "Yeah, about time to go."

Gu Xiaoning waved her hand. "Then... see you."

"Mm."

Le Zhengsheng nodded and was just about to leave. As he turned, he suddenly looked back, staring at Gu Xiaoning in shock.

"..." Gu Xiaoning looked puzzled. "What? Why are you staring at me like that? It’s scary."

Le Zhengsheng said nothing, just grabbed the sleeve of her scrubs and yanked it up. "What’s this?"

"Don’t!" Gu Xiaoning hurriedly pulled her hand back, her expression flustered. "What what? There’s nothing there."

"Gu Xiaoning!"

Le Zhengsheng’s face darkened. "When I first started hanging around outside, you were still sucking on a pacifier! I can tell what kind of injury you’ve got at a glance! Talk. What happened?"

"Shh!" Gu Xiaoning was so anxious she stomped her foot. "Don’t be so loud! I get it, I’ll tell you later! I’m on duty right now—do you want everyone knowing my business? You think what happens at my house is something glorious?"

Le Zhengsheng’s heart clenched. So it was family stuff... He thought of her father, and his thick brows drew together tightly.

"Fine, I’ll wait for you to get off work!"

"...Oh."

Today Gu Xiaoning was on the early shift; she got off at two in the afternoon.

Le Zhengsheng waited for her in the ward the whole time. When he saw her come out in her casual clothes, he slanted her a look. "You wanna talk here, or outside?"

Gu Xiaoning kept her head down. Sensing something was off, Le Zhengsheng suddenly stood up and reached out to tilt her chin up.

"Tsk..." Gu Xiaoning winced and hissed. "Looks like you really are recovering—your grip’s that strong!"

Le Zhengsheng frowned when he saw the bruise at the corner of her mouth, then thought of the bruises on her arm. "It was your father?"

"..." Gu Xiaoning nodded.

Before she could speak, her stomach rumbled loudly.

Le Zhengsheng glared. "You... Look at the time. And you’re already hungry? Are you a pig?"

At this hour, she should’ve just had lunch.

Maybe it was because he was so loud, but something in Gu Xiaoning snapped. Her lips trembled and her voice took on a sobbing edge.

"Why are you being so fierce with me? I got beaten up by my dad! He even took the money I’d saved for my brother’s treatment—was that my fault? I don’t even have money to eat now! I might just pass out on shift and get fired by the hospital. You think I want that? So why are you yelling at me?"

Le Zhengsheng was stunned. He hadn’t expected it to be like this. That irresponsible old man of hers!

Head lowered, Gu Xiaoning’s tears kept falling, but she was still trying her best to hold them back.

Le Zhengsheng fell silent. What kind of experience was it, to be so poor you couldn’t even afford a meal?
