Awake

Yun Nan’s tears fell onto Shi Nian’s palm. “You said that you loved me,” she cried. “I don’t know if that was the fever talking, so I want you to say it again when you’re clear and awake!”
“I told you to come find me earlier in our next lives and teach me how to fall in love. Now, you could say we’ve both died once, haven’t we? This is our new life, so hurry up and wake up and teach me how to fall in love! I can do a lot of things, but I don’t know how to fall in love. I don’t know how to love someone. How can I learn if you’re not here to teach me?”
Yun Nan was crying uncontrollably. The nurse couldn’t bear to watch anymore and quietly retreated. Yun Nan wrapped Shi Nian’s hand around hers and gently rubbed the skin between his thumb and forefinger. “Shi Nian,” she sniffled. “I know now that I love you too. I’ve never been as worried about anyone else as I was about you. Shi Nian, I get it; I know my own feelings now.
Will you please wake up? Let’s be together properly, okay? Let’s go on dates like
Fang Xi and Ye Kun. Please, Shi Nian, wake up! Wake up, okay?”
The last time Yun Nan cried so badly was when her adoptive parents passed away. She had thought she had no more tears to give until she looked at Shi Nian lying there, attached to all kinds of machines and an oxygen mask on his face.
The fear she felt at losing her adoptive parents back then once again enveloped her. She couldn’t lose Shi Nian; she wanted to live with Shi Nian and love him well. She’d found someone who loved her—someone she loved. She wanted a life with Shi Nian.
“Shi Nian, I’m begging you, please, can you wake up? I’m scared; I’m scared that you’ll leave me alone,” Yun Nan said as she placed her face in Shi Nian’s palm.
Shi Nian always liked to touch her—small gestures like ruffling her hair, touching her face, and… and he even kissed her out of the blue once. Yun Nan suddenly understood. ‘So, he has liked me since long ago,’ she thought. ‘ Those little gestures were all filled with love.’
Yun Nan wished Shi Nian could touch her face again. She suddenly felt a butterfly-light touch on her face; Shi Nian had bent his finger slightly. Thinking she’d imagined it, Yun Nan cried even harder. And then she stopped short, stunned because Shi Nian’s fingers twitched and curled further. This time, Yun Nan clearly felt it.
Yun Nan’s eyes widened. She pulled herself up off the wheelchair to look at Shi Nian’s face under the oxygen mask. His breathing had visibly quickened, and his eyelashes were also trembling slightly.
Yun Nan forgot about her injuries, the special frame on her body, and her IV pole. She abruptly stood up and shouted, “Doctor! Doctor! He’s awake! Come quickly! Shi Nian’s awake! Nurse! Nurse!”
*Bang!* * Yun Nan fell to the ground along with the IV pole, wheelchair, and frame. The doctors and nurses rushed over.
Shi Nian kept walking on a very, very dark path. He had been walking for so long that he was exhausted, but he still hadn’t reached the end of it. He was really tired and wanted to stop and rest. However, he heard Yun Nan crying. Shi Nian was very anxious, thinking, ‘ Why is Yun Nan crying? Is she crying because she’s in pain? Her injuries are so serious; what should I do?
He then heard Yun Nan say, “Shi Nian, I know now that I love you too. I’ve never been as worried about anyone else as I was about you. Shi Nian, I get it; I Imow my own feelings now. Will you please wake up? Let’s be together properly, okay? Let’s go on dates like Fang Xi and Ye Kun. Please, Shi Nian, wake up! Wake up, okay?”
Shi Nian was delighted and mentally answered, ‘Okay, okay! I’ll wake up! I’ll wake up right now!’ He ran forward, trying to find a way out to Yun Nan. ‘ Why is there no exit on this d*mn road? Why can’t I reach the end ofit? “Shi Nian, I’m begging you. Please, can you wake up? I’m scared; I’m scared that you’ll leave me alone.”
Shi Nian felt quite anxious. He wanted to touch Yun Nan’s face. He yelled into the dark space around him, “Don’t be scared, Yun Nan. I won’t leave you all alone. I won’t!”
The moment Shi Nian opened his eyes, he saw Yun Nan—wrapped in gauze and put on a drip—fall to the ground along with her wheelchair and IV pole.
Shi Nian and Yun Nan were arranged to stay in the same ward. The interns and nurses who came to help settle them in all had smiles on their faces.
Curious, Shi Xiu pulled a nurse over and asked, “Why are you all so happy that the patient is awake? Do you get a bonus for that?”
The young nurse couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s true that we’re happy when our patients awaken. However, we’re especially happy because this couple is different from the others!”
“How so? Is it because they’re good-looking?” Shi Xiu kept on asking.
The young nurse glanced at the two so wrapped up they looked like mummies and was quite hesitant to call them “good-looking.” However, she still replied, “It’s because they showed us what love looked like..”
