Li Muyang took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I’ll return to Jin Chen tomorrow and apologize to the leader personally!"
"Apologize? For what crime? Do they know Yang Chen is back? Yang Chen died two years ago. Are you going to tell them Yang Chen didn’t die back then and has returned? And while you weren’t careful, didn’t watch out, he’s gone again? Who are you trying to shock?" Old Zhuo scolded.
"I..." Li Muyang’s face turned crimson with anger and embarrassment, not knowing what to do.
"Forget it!" Old Zhuo stood up, turned around, and looked at a painting in the room, saying, "Let Yang Chen be forever a spiritual symbol!"
Li Muyang looked at the painting and instantly understood.
This painting was given to Elder Zhuo by the leader during the Long March: Live as a hero, die as a ghost hero!
Aren’t these ten words describing Yang Chen?
"I understand!" Li Muyang nodded deeply.
At this moment, Xiaowang’s phone rang in his arms.
Li Muyang glared at Xiaowang. How could he not set his phone to silent at such a time?
Xiaowang was also a bit distressed.
He usually set his phone to silent.
He quickly took out his phone, only to find it was Li Muyang’s phone ringing.
The caller was Chen Siyan.
Xiaowang hurriedly answered.
Upon hearing Chen Siyan’s message, Xiaowang immediately beamed with joy.
"Oh, oh! Okay, I know! I know! Thank you so much, we’ll go over right away!" Xiaowang said excitedly.
Li Muyang frowned upon hearing this, feeling Xiaowang was becoming increasingly unreliable, not even knowing what’s going on himself, yet daring to agree on his own?
As Li Muyang was full of suspicion, Xiaowang exclaimed excitedly, "Major! Yang Chen has come back to life!"
"What?" Li Muyang was stunned, not sure how to react, "What are you saying?"
Old Zhuo also turned around in shock, staring at Xiaowang, "What did you say, say it again!"
Xiaowang exclaimed excitedly, "Chief, Major! I said Yang Chen has come back to life! Yang Chen’s sister just called to say so!"
"Come back to life again!" Old Zhuo and Li Muyang’s eyes widened, "Quick! Hurry to the hospital!"
The two almost said in unison.
In the hospital, Yang Chen looked distressed.
Beside him, Chen Siyan was giggling with her hand over her mouth.
Wei Xueqing, unaware, was sorting things out at the bedside, muttering, "This is imported health product, take it on time to help the wound heal. This is high-grade Cordyceps, and this is Maca; I don’t understand, but the boss said it’s good for the body, so I bought it. Here are two Bai Mountain ginsengs; have Yanyan make chicken soup with them."
Yang Chen felt these things might make him have nosebleeds daily, but he couldn’t say anything since Wei Xueqing had already bought them; he couldn’t ask her to return them.
Li Muyang and the others had arrived, just meeting Qin Zhiyuan carrying back lunch.
"Brother Qin!" Old Zhuo called immediately upon seeing Qin Zhiyuan.
"Uncle Qin!" Li Muyang respectfully called.
Qin Zhiyuan looked at them and said solemnly, "Hey! Why are you here? Xiaochen is fine now, the doctor has checked him. You guys should go back, he needs rest now, don’t disturb him!"
Qin Zhiyuan didn’t know why they were so concerned about Yang Chen, nor did he want to. His thoughts had changed now; he wanted Yang Chen to live well, not undertake tasks anymore.
Perhaps it’s selfish, but it’s an elder’s love and care for the young.
Sometimes love is indeed selfish.
Having devoted a lifetime to the country, Qin Zhiyuan should be selfish just once for himself.
Li Muyang and Old Zhuo showed conflicted expressions hearing Qin Zhiyuan’s words.
"Alright! Go on! You’re all busy, go!" Qin Zhiyuan urged them onto the car.
The two exchanged a look, feeling helpless, sighed, and had to leave by car.
Qin Zhiyuan watched them leave, shook his head, sighed, and carrying the meal, entered the hall.
Not far away from a corner, a person came out, incredulously watching Li Muyang’s car and Qin Zhiyuan’s back fade away.
"Brother Chen... Brother Chen is alright?" Zhao Shisan murmured with wide eyes.
The intensive care unit.
Yang Chen saw Qin Zhiyuan carrying the food barrel over, trying to struggle to sit up.
Qin Zhiyuan saw this and quickly said, "Don’t move! Don’t move, be careful of hurting the wound!"
"I’m fine; why did you bring the food yourself? The hospital provides special nutritious meals for me," Yang Chen said.
"Huh!" Qin Zhiyuan said, "Even if it’s a nutritious meal, it’s still made in a big pot; how could it be like what we make ourselves! Try the old hen soup I stewed for you, specially bought from the market, a five-year-old hen!"
Watching Qin Zhiyuan personally serve him, Yang Chen felt a warm flow in his heart.
He stopped being polite, lying down quietly, watching Qin Zhiyuan bring the meal over.
"Don’t get up, I’ll feed you," Qin Zhiyuan said, sitting down with the soup.
Chen Siyan quickly came over, taking the soup bowl from Qin Zhiyuan’s hand, "Director, you take a rest; let me feed my brother."
"Alright, be careful not to burn your brother!" Qin Zhiyuan cautioned.
"I know!" Chen Siyan sat down, scooped a spoonful of soup, blew it a bit, and then fed it to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen drank the soup with his mouth open. Though the taste was weak, there was a special flavor in it, warming his heart, and his eyes got teary.
"Hey, Brother, why are you ?" Chen Siyan noticed Yang Chen’s reddened eyes and asked.
Yang Chen grinned, softly said, "Nothing, the soup’s a bit hot, my eyes are sweating."
Chen Siyan was astonished, wondering how eyes could sweat?
She didn’t understand the meaning of Yang Chen’s words, but seemed to grasp something else.
Yang Chen felt peace for the first time being served with a meal, enjoying warmth from being cared for.
The hospital provided special nutrition meals for them at noon. As Yang Chen hadn’t eaten for days, he only drank some chicken soup and a bit of porridge sent by the hospital, not eating anything else.
The remaining food was eaten by Chen Siyan, Qin Zhiyuan, and Wei Xueqing.
After the meal, Yang Chen suddenly remembered Chen Siyan’s situation and asked, "Yanyan, is your illness okay?"
"No problem!" Chen Siyan said excitedly, "The doctors say I should be fully recovered with no issues!"
"Has the discharge paperwork been handled?"
Suddenly, a noise came from outside.
"Move out of my way!"
"You’re looking for trouble!"
After the quarrel, there was a fierce fight.
