Shi Lingyan had just realized this point.
She used to have a boyfriend.
Lin Hang had been wholeheartedly devoted to her, and now that Shi Mei had recovered, she would surely go back to him, wouldn’t she?
But then, what was the connection between Shi Mei and Senior Sister?
Their voices sounded so very similar.
More than the voices, it was the tone of speech that seemed so familiar, as though they had the same origin.
Suddenly, Shi Lingyan asked, "Before I woke up, did anyone come to see me?"
The question made Grandma Shi’s expression soften slightly, "Of course, there were visitors every day. How else do you think we got the news so quickly? It was Xiao Tang who discovered you had awoken. Do you remember?"
Ever since he had accidentally caught a glimpse of that pink shadow upon opening his eyes, he had begun a difficult struggle.
It was also the first time he realized that he hadn’t died. Follow current novels on novelFirｅ.net
But no matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t move.
Until Tang Jingming came to find him, mumbling incessantly, saying a bunch of bad things about Bai Yuejie. Shi Lingyan didn’t take much in, but what struck him the most was the claim that Bai Yuejie, that wretched woman with a weak heart, was still fixated on creating and ended up stealing other people’s work to publish. She had first stolen from Tang Wu, and now she had stolen from Senior Sister.
There were many other accusations like that, but Shi Lingyan only remembered these few. The more he listened, the more annoyed he became, until finally he couldn’t resist, waving his hand and exclaiming, "Shut up."
Tang Jingming stopped speaking abruptly, followed by an ear-piercing scream he wanted to throttle, "Doctor, doctor, holy shit, ahhhhhh, doctor, my brother-in-law has woken up!!!"
Had to say, it was quite invigorating.
Shi Lingyan then asked, "Before Tang Jingming, did anyone else come?"
"That you’ll have to ask him or the nurse," replied Grandma Shi. "Why do you ask?"
Shi Lingyan couldn’t quite say why. He paused, then said, "I remember someone very important came to see me. She told me she was leaving. Was it Shi Mei?"
"Eh?" Grandma Shi seemed very surprised. "Shi Mei went to Imperial City today. Could it have been yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Lingyan asked further, "Did Senior Sister come by?"
"Senior Sister?" Grandma Shi shook her head upon hearing the long-lost title. "I don’t think so. We haven’t seen her in ages, as if she vanished into thin air."
"The nurses keep a record of all visitors. Let’s ask them later," Grandpa Shi suggested, pulling at his wife’s arm. "Let’s not interfere with Ling Yan’s rest any further. We should go."
Only then did Grandma Shi realize she might have overstayed. She glanced at Shi Lingyan and saw he was clearly much more tired than before and quickly said, "Rest if you’re tired. Here, have a few sips of soup first to settle your stomach, anyway."
Shi Lingyan didn’t refuse, enduring a couple of sips, but feeling extremely nauseous, he pushed it away.
With Grandma’s help, he lay down, and as soon as Shi Lingyan closed his eyes, he couldn’t hold on any longer and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Bai Yuejie had been waiting at the door for a long time. Yun Du, noting her insistence on not leaving until she saw Shi Lingyan, coughed lightly and advised, "The boss has just woken up and probably can’t last much longer. Why don’t you go back first, and after a few days when he’s better, I’ll call you over?"
Bai Yuejie was unwilling, "I’ll wait here."
"Hmm." Truly persistent.
Didn’t she realize that Shi Lingyan actually found her quite annoying?
