On her fourth day in hospital, Yiyao Duan couldn't stand lying on the bed anymore. She was tired of
hearing "He hasn't woken up yet". She wanted to see Jingyan Ye for herself.
"Colonel, why don't you go in a wheelchair?" The kind nurse suggested.
"No, I'm OK." Yiyao Duan said in spite of her pain, "I want to move around. Didn't the doctor suggest
me to do more exercise? Please help me get out of bed."
"Alright."
Yiyao Duan's limbs were not injured, so walking was not an obstacle. But because she was too weak,
she sweated a lot after taking a few steps.
When she went down to the fifth floor in the elevator, Chuxue Ye who was taking the medicine at the
nurses' station came up to her in surprise upon seeing her, "Yiyao, you can get out of bed now?"
Yiyao Duan smiled broadly, "I came to see your brother."
Chuxue Ye held her another hand and said with concern, "You are still too weak. You should lie on the
bed."
"I'm worried about him."
The nurse and Chuxue Ye slowly helped Yiyao Duan walk to the ICU. When Venus looked up and saw
Yiyao Duan, she was stunned for a moment, but she hurriedly walk to her, "Why did you come down?
You haven’t recovered yet."
"I'm fine." Yiyao Duan said with a faint smile.
Venus saw that she was tired and sweaty, so she asked the nurse and Chuxue Ye to help her onto the
bench, "Ruyi, go inside and get a coat for Yiyao. She is sweaty and it's easy to catch a cold."
"Okay." Chuxue Ye left jumping up and down. She knew her mother was deeply conscious of
righteousness, and wouldn’t blame Yiyao Duan.
Yiyao Duan looked up at Venus who had clear and smooth skin. There were few wrinkles around her
eyes, but probably because she was too tired these days, her eyes were bloodshot. Yiyao Duan
thought, if her mother was still alive, she should be as kind as Venus.
"Thank you." Yiyao Duan felt sore in her nose.
Venus looked at Yiyao’s tearful eyes and felt pain in her heart, "Silly girl, thank me for what?"
"Don't you blame me?" Yiyao Duan asked.
"I don't blame you. This is Pingan's own choice. He likes you and wants to do something for you. I will
not oppose, let alone blame you for this matter. Besides, you’ve done a good thing. I’m proud of you."
Yiyao Duan turned to look at the person on the hospital bed, and the tears in her eyes finally rolled
down.
On the bed, Jingyan Ye looked so haggard, completely devoid of his old vigor and energy. His cheeks
were much thinner, and the lines of his face looked even more rigid.
Venus gave her some tissue to wipe her tears, "Good girl, don't cry."
"Thank you." Yiyao Duan choked up.
Chuxue Ye brought a light blue coat, and said while helping Yiyao Duan put it on, "This is my coat. I've
only worn it once, but they're clean. Hope you don't mind."
Yiyao Duan was feeling sad, but hearing Chuxue Ye’s words, her tears stopped rolling down, "Of
course not. Ruyi, those who doesn’t like you may mind but I’m sure there are few people in this world
who dislike you."
"Really?" Chuxue Ye tilted her head with eyes glowing. She smugly said, "I think so, too. But there will
always be someone who dislikes me. After all, I am not money. But I do not need everyone to like me,
as long as those I like like me back." She didn't like Xuan Zhao, so it didn't matter if Xuan Zhao liked
her or not. She even wanted that woman to hate her.
Yiyao Duan didn't expect such a young girl would have deep insights, "I always thought that if I had a
younger sister, she would be very lively and cute. Unfortunately, my mother died when I was very
young, and my father raised me as a boy, so I grew up with a bunch of boys. And the army in the
military school are also males. suddenly a cute girl like you appeared, and it feels so novel."
Chuxue Ye snuggled up to her, "Then you can treat me as your sister. I only have three brothers, and I
also want an older sister."
"Sure." Yiyao Duan readily agreed.
Venus didn't expect Yiyao Duan's life to be so pitiful, so she couldn't help but have more pity for her,
"That's good, Yiyao. You can teach her to behave properly in the future. I think she is obedient to you."
"Mom, I've always been obedient."
"Is that so?" Venus raised her eyebrows.
Chuxue Ye felt discouraged, "All right, I can be disobedient sometimes."
Venus poked her head, "Let's go. Let Yiyao talk to your brother."
"Right, he will definitely blame us if he knows we're yakking over here, preventing Yiyao from spending
time with him alone."
Yiyao Duan's face flushed red and she lowered her head. She rarely flushed. When the men in the
army told dirty jokes, she was a little embarrassed at first, but after some time, she would occasionally
tell a dirtier one. However, she was still very shy in front of Venus and Chuxue Ye.
There were only two people left in the ward. Yiyao Duan sat quietly for several minutes before she
gently held Jingyan Ye's hand. His hand was large with well-defined bones and long fingers. There was
not a single scar on it and he was perfect enough to be a hand model. On the contrary, her palms are
slightly rough, because she had held guns for years and the part of the hand between the thumb and
the index finger had thick calluses. So compared with his hands, hers were more like a man's hands.
Yiyao Duan sighed and said, "You fool, why can't you just give up? You are deliberately trying to make
me owe you... In fact, it’s not that I don’t like you. It’s just like we are not suitable for each other. Every
time we meet, there’s always something going on. I feel very tired. But I am not an unreasonable
person. I originally intended to never see you again, which is good for both you and me, but fate has
allowed me to see you again and you’ve taken a bullet for me... Since you can sacrifice your life, I
cannot be so hardhearted. So when you wake up, I will give you another chance."
"Really?" A hoarse voice rang over her head. She jerked her head up and saw Jingyan Ye opened his
eyes and was gazing at her with deep affection.
"You've woken up? When did you wake up?" Yiyao Duan was exceptionally surprised.
Jingyan Ye didn't answer her question but asked again, "What you just said... is it true?"
"I’ve said so many words. Which sentence are you referring to? " Yiyao Duan pretended she didn’t
understand.
"When I wake up, you will give me another chance. You said it yourself." Jingyan Ye didn't dare to blink
his eyes. He was afraid that once his eyes were closed, she would run away again.
Yiyao Duan was a little shy and said slightly blushing, "It's true. Are you relieved now?"
Jingyan Ye was on the verge of tears, and he immediately felt that the bullet was well worth taking.
"Yiyao, I love you." Jingyan Ye said in a hoarse voice. His gaze was so intent and warm that it seemed
to be able to melt a thousand years’ cold ice.
Yiyao Duan was too embarrassed to look at him, her eyes wondering, only to feel her face hot and
burning. She cleared her throat, "Uh, I'll call the doctor to give you an examination."
After saying that, she wanted to struggle from his grip, but it was too tight.
"Don't go. I'm fine. You can call the doctor later," Jingyan Ye gazed at her and asked with concern,
"How is your injury? Does it still hurt?"
Considering he was a patient, Yiyao Duan continued to let him hold her, "My injury is less serious than
yours. I woke up a few days ago and it doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's good. That's good." This was what concerned him most in his coma. Occasionally he could
hear his mother and sister talking, but for some reason, he just couldn't wake up. Until she held his
hand just now, it was as if a powerful force had been injected into his body to help him wake up. This
might be the power of love.
Yiyao Duan worried that he just woke up and too much concern was not good for his recovery, so she
said, "I'll ask the doctor to examine you so that you can recover sooner." Jingyan Ye smiled sweetly,
nodding his head.
"Ruyi, Ruyi..." Yiyao Duan turned her head to shout to the people outside the ward. Very soon, Chuxue
Ye rushed in, "What's wrong, what's wrong... Ah! Pingan, you're awake."
Chuxue Ye jumped up with excitement, "My goodness, you're finally awake. Mom was so worried..."
"Ruyi, go get the doctor to come over and give your brother a check." Yiyao Duan interrupted her and
instructed.
