“You can tell that?” Shi Xiu exclaimed in surprise. “You guys are amazing!”

“You can smell the scent of their love throughout the whole ICU,” the nurse replied, straight-faced. After saying that, the young nurse couldn’t help but laugh.

Xiang Yang came over and playfully swatted Shi Xiu’s arm. “Quit fooling around,” she chided. “Hurry up and tell Mom, Dad, and Grandma so they can stop worrying.” Xiang Yang had sent the elders home as it was impossible to predict if Shi Nian would wake up today, so now they needed to inform them of the news.

Shi Xiu quickly went to make the call, and Xiang Yang heaved a sigh of relief, thinking, ‘ Thank heavens therre okay now. They made it through; therre alive.’

Shi Nian and Yun Nan both had a rest after the afternoon’s excitement. Shi Nian woke up first this time and saw his brother sitting beside his bed, dressed in military uniform.

“Where’s Yun Nan?” Shi Nian asked, voice hoarse.

Shi Ke held his index finger to his lips in a hush gesture before pointing to the bed next to his and saying softly, “She was too agitated, so the doctor gave her a sedative. She won’t be waking up until tomorrow morning. Don’t worry; the rest will be good for her.”

Shi Nian was relieved to hear that. Shi Ke poured a cup of warm water for Shi

Nian and helped him sit up to drink it. “Do you feel dizzy?” Shi Ke inquired. “You have a concussion; it’ll take a while to recover.”

“I’m alright,” Shi Nian said quietly. He glanced at his brother’s attire and asked, “Are you leaving again?”

“Yeah,” Shi Ke murmured.

Shi Nian inwardly sighed gently and uttered, “Stay safe. You must come back alive.”

“I know, don’t worry,” Shi Ke responded and just looked at his little brother; these few words were enough between the two brothers.

He then went on to another subject, stating, “Chang Yuan is still investigating who is behind this. From what we can tell, these people probably have nothing to do with me; this might be related to your business. Chang Yuan’s reviewing the people you’ve been in contact with recently.”

Shi Nian nodded. “It’s fine, I’ll handle it. Don’t worry. Focus on completing your mission. Our entire family is waiting for you; you have to come back alive. Don’t even think about leaving the task of supporting our family to me alone!”

Smiling, Shi Ke stood up, lightly clicked his heels together, and saluted his little brother before he left without looking back. Xiang Yang, who had been a silent figure beside him, followed Shi Ke out. Shi Ke kissed his wife goodbye at the hospital exit and said, “I’m sorry, I have to go. Help me take care of our family.”

“I will,” Xiang Yang kept her emotions in check as she replied with a smile. They had parted like this countless times. Xiang Yang knew the significance of each farewell, so she never shed tears before Shi Ke and always sent him off with her brightest smile. She liked to believe that her smiles would give Shi Ke more courage when he was in trouble and help him through adversities. Even if the worst comes to worst, Shi Ke will have the memory of her smile with him.

After sending Shi Ke off, Xiang Yang went back and quietly checked the equipment monitoring Shi Nian’s vitals. Seeing that he had fallen into a peaceful sleep, Xiang Yang returned to Yun Nan’s side. The IV drip needle stuck in her hand had shifted when Yun Nan fell in the afternoon, so now there was a bruise on the back of her hand. The nurse had instructed Xiang Yang to apply a

hot towel to it, and Xiang Yang did so. When she gently pressed the warm towel against the bruise, Yun Nan frowned in her dreams.

When Fang Xi and Ye Kun rushed over, Yun Nan and Shi Nian had just woken up. Xiang Yang pulled open the curtain between them so they could see each other and be at ease.

“What’s going on?” Ye Kun shouted. “We’ve only been away for a few days. How could such a big thing have happened? Shi Nian, what b*stard did this? Have the police caught them yet? I’ll have them rot in prison!”

Shi Nian was dizzy, and listening to Ye Kun, he felt even dizzier. He leaned against his pillow and said weakly, “Alright, go for it. I’m just waiting for you to avenge me!”

Ye Kun grabbed a folding chair and sat beside Shi Nian’s bed. “Is Chang Yuan around? Just you wait, Shi Nian. I’ll definitely avenge you! Tell Chang Yuan to give me everything he has on this!”

“You can ask him for the info yourself,” Shi Nian replied feebly.

“Hmph!” Ye Kun snorted, unwilling to do so. “He only listens to you. He doesn’t care for me at all!” Shi Nian, his buddies, and Chang Yuan were all classmates, but Chang Yuan was only close with Shi Nian and completely ignored the others, even when they were nice to him. Chang Yuan had been a straight-A student since elementary school and didn’t regard Shi Nian’s slacker friends highly.

“Okay,” Shi Nian faintly responded.

Ye Kun quickly stated, “Liang Han isn’t in the country right now and won’t be back anytime soon, and Xi Cheng is busy with his mother’s birthday party. I’m free, so I’ll stay by your side to look after you 24/7. Let Chang Yuan investigate the matter.”

Shi Nian smiled. “Thanks. I know you’re not good at such things, but I appreciate your kindness.”

“What do you mean, not good at it?” Ye Kun unhappily retorted. “I CAN do it!”

Shi Nian placed his hands together and begged off, saying, “Alright, alright. I want water. Could you get me some?”

Ye Kun hurriedly went to pour him some water. Meanwhile, Fang Xi was attentively listening to Xiang Yang’s retelling of how they found Yun Nan and Shi Nian, so she wasn’t paying the boys any attention.

When women had best friends, even their boyfriends had to stand aside..
