Chapter 429: Now That Yanyan Is Awake, Can We?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Nan Yan had been in a state of both physical and mental exhaustion, sleeping for two full days before finally regaining consciousness.
During these two days, Qin Lu had kept vigil at the hospital, never leaving her side.
Each day, he had to feed her some nutritional liquid using mouth-to-mouth, as she had refused to eat anything else.
“Little one, if you don’t wake up soon, I will have to kiss you awake,” Qin Lu playfully teased, pinching Nan Yan’s cheek as he sighed.
If it weren’t for Mu Feng’s reassurance that her body was perfectly fine, and she would wake up once she had rested enough, he might have considered bringing Divine Physician Hua over.
Qin Lu fetched some water, dampened a towel, and rolled up his sleeves to gently wipe her face.
As he wiped her, his warm fingertips pressed down a bit mischievously when he reached her rosy lips.
Her lips were remarkably beautiful, adorned in a delicate shade of light red. When his fingers pressed against them, they felt soft, much like jelly or pudding.
Kissing those lips made him reluctant to withdraw…
Every time he had to feed her the nutritional liquid, he had to rely on his considerable self-control to refrain from getting too carried away.
Qin Lu didn’t consider himself a lustful person, but he couldn’t help but lose control when it came to his little mischief-maker, often entertaining thoughts of doing things that were best left unspoken.
Nan Yan’s consciousness gradually returned.
Her five senses and sixth sense slowly came back to her. Even before she opened her eyes, she felt someone pinching her lips.
Who could be so boring…
Nan Yan silently grumbled to herself before slowly opening her eyes.
What met her gaze was a face so divinely handsome it resembled that of a deity. Her attention was immediately drawn to his deep, captivating eyes. Qin Lu arched an eyebrow, his deep voice filled with indulgence. “Awake?”
“Mm,” Nan Yan emitted a soft hum.
Sensing that his hand was still resting on her lips, Nan Yan made an unexpected move, even surprising herself.
She opened her mouth and, not content with just lightly biting his fingertip, she even used her tongue to give it a little lick!
Qin Lu’s body tensed up abruptly, and his once-steady black eyes transformed into a swirling vortex of intensity, as if he were on the verge of devouring someone whole.
Nan Yan was speechless.
She couldn’t fathom why she had acted in such a way!
However…
She suddenly bit down hard on his finger, then turned her head to let his finger slip out. She playfully complained, “Big brother, you’re not allowed to do naughty things while I’m unconscious.”
Qin Lu gazed at the clearly visible bite mark on his fingertip, let out a low, husky chuckle, and braced his arm beside her head. His devilishly attractive face drew nearer, his voice a seductive whisper, “Now that Yanyan is awake, can we?”
Nan Yan’s heart raced, and she felt thoroughly enchanted, her thoughts quickly turning chaotic.
Observing his lips, there was only one thought in her mind: to kiss him.
Just as she considered hooking her arms around his neck to bring him closer for a taste, the door to the ward was suddenly knocked on.
Nan Yan’s consciousness snapped back, and she promptly turned her face away, diminishing Qin Lu’s temptation.
Qin Lu felt somewhat annoyed that someone had disturbed them at this moment.
Suppressing his emotional fluctuations, he withdrew his hand and returned to his original seated position. “Come in.”
Li Yuan and Zui Gui entered from outside.
“Yanyan, you’ve been unconscious for two days. Are you awake now?” Zui Gui expressed his concern for Nan Yan’s condition.
Seeing the two of them, especially Li Yuan, so anxious for Nan Yan’s well-being, Qin Lu couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy. He masked it well, though.
Nan Yan turned her head, lying in bed as she looked at the two of them. Her voice was weak as she replied, “I’m awake.”
Upon hearing her voice, both of them hurriedly approached the bedside.
Even Qin Lu, amid his emotional turmoil, was pushed aside by the excited pair.
Zui Gui asked, “Yanyan, are you feeling any discomfort? Are you completely okay now that you’ve woken up?”
Li Yuan added, “Don’t be stubborn. If there’s anything uncomfortable, you should let us know.”
Nan Yan shook her head and said weakly, “I just had back-to-back surgeries,
so I’m a bit weak. With some rest, I’ll be fine.’
“You guys worried too much.”
Zui Gui breathed a sigh of relief. “As long as you’re okay. When you fainted suddenly, you really scared us.”
Sitting by her bedside, Li Yuan inquired, “Hungry? What would you like to eat?”
Zui Gui suggested, “You haven’t eaten anything for two days and two nights. Start with some porridge, and after your stomach gets used to it, you can have other foods.
“Okay.”
Nan Yan had just woken up and was indeed quite hungry. However, she understood the importance of nourishment. She needed to replenish her energy, allowing her weakened body to recover as quickly as possible.
Li Yuan stood up. “I’ll go buy some porridge for you right now.”
“No need, the porridge is ready,” Qin Lu pulled out his phone and made a call.
“Qin Yi, bring in the porridge.”
A few minutes later, Qin Yi entered carrying a food container.
Inside the container was a soft and tender rice porridge with minced meat and chopped vegetables.
Nan Yan had two bowls of porridge to regain some strength. She then got out of bed and started moving around to quickly revive her stiff body.
Half an hour later, feeling less weak, she went to check on Bai Chen and Shen Junqing.
Both of them were still in the intensive care unit.
From the time they had their surgeries until now, neither of them had regained consciousness.
During Nan Yan’s unconsciousness, Mu Feng had been taking care of both of them and documenting their vital signs every hour.
When Nan Yan arrived, Mu Feng handed her two medical records without waiting for her to ask.
As she looked through them, she asked in a low voice, “How are their conditions?”
“It’s not looking good,” Mu Feng’s face turned grave. “Their bodies have been severely damaged, and even though Miss Nan managed to save their lives, the situation is far from optimistic.”
“They were injected with unfinished biochemical agents, and these substances have caused genetic changes in their bodies. Now, conventional medical methods have no effect on them whatsoever.’
Bai Chen and Shen Junqing had been used as guinea pigs by the Seven Deadly Sins organization, and it was only due to their strong physical resilience that they managed to survive until Nan Yan rescued them.
For an ordinary person, they would probably have been dead long ago.
“Miss Nan, you need to prepare yourself psychologically. Perhaps the best outcome for them is a lifetime of being in a coma…”
Nan Yan gripped a few paper medical records tightly in her hand, her eyes filled with determination.
“They will get better.”
She absolutely wouldn’t let the two of them spend their lives lying in a hospital bed!
Mu Feng looked at her with a helpless shake of his head.
This outcome was indeed difficult to accept.
However, it was the best possible outcome considering that he initially believed they wouldn’t even make it to the operating table.
Only a medical professional like Nan Yan could understand just how dire their situation had been.
From another perspective, it also highlighted just how extraordinary Nan Yan’s medical skills were.
To be able to save two people who had been sentenced to death by the medical community was a feat beyond his reach.
After reading through the medical records, Nan Yan handed them back to Mu
Feng and calmly said, “I’m going to see them.”
Qin Lu, Li Yuan, and Zui Gui remained outside the intensive care unit, looking through a one-way glass window at the scene inside..
