Chapter 564 Inner Monologue
Lin Ci'an didn't know how long he had been sitting on the bench. The lights in the corridor seemed to become more glaring, making his eyes hurt. Every time the door of the emergency room opened and closed, he jumped up like a conditioned reflex, but only saw the figure of a nurse rushing by.
Finally, the surgeon came out and took off his mask: "The operation was successful, but the patient is still in danger and needs to be transferred to the ICU for observation."
Lin Ci'an stood up suddenly, not even noticing his knee hitting the bench: "How is he...?"
The doctor nodded: "Young people have strong vitality. However..."
He paused, "He may be unconscious for a while, you should be prepared."
Lin Ci'an's heart, which had been at ease, was lifted up again.
He followed the medical staff to the outside of the ICU and saw through the glass window that Chu Ziyu was covered with tubes all over his body - such a small person was almost submerged by all kinds of instruments.
A ventilator was covering his pale face, and his chest rose and fell faintly with the rhythm of the machine.
“You can go in and talk to him.”
The nurse whispered, "Sometimes patients can hear."
The smell of disinfectant became stronger.
Lin Ci'an stood in front of the ICU bed, looking at Chu Ziyu's pale face.
Various tubes were inserted into his body, the ventilator hissed rhythmically, and his chest was barely noticeable rising and falling.
He carefully held Chu Ziyu's hand, which was always warm but was now as cold as a piece of jade.
"Zi Yu..." His voice choked, and his Adam's apple rolled a few times before he continued, "I remember... everything..."
The heart rate line on the monitor fluctuated slightly.
"I know you were deceived by Guo Mingjie...about the money..."
Lin Ci'an's thumb gently stroked the inside of Chu Ziyu's wrist, where there was a small red mole. "I now understand what you said in front of my bed in my previous life..."
A drop of warm water fell on the back of Chu Ziyu's hand.
Lin Ci'an was shocked to find that he was crying.
"I'm sorry... I still wanted to take revenge on you after my rebirth... I'm such a bastard..."
In fact, Chu Ziyu had tried to return to his body as early as when Lin Ci'an held his hand.
But it always gets ejected.
The alarm 6872 kept flashing in his head, making his head hurt.
"Boss, it's not logical for you to go back now. Who wakes up immediately after surgery?"
Chu Ziyu grabbed 6872's little wings in his mind: "He cried?! Lin Ci'an cried?!"
6872: "Boss, your heart is beating too fast! You can go back only when you are calm. Read with me, impulse is the devil."
Lin Ci'an rested his forehead on their clasped hands, "Please wake up... give me a chance to make amends..."
This posture made his straight back bend into a fragile arc.
The heartache surged up like a tide, diluting the original joy.
Chu Ziyu wanted to raise his hand to smooth out the wrinkles between Lin Ci'an's brows and tell him that he had never blamed him.
Chu Ziyu turned a deaf ear to 6872's nagging and only wanted to go back.
"Damn, why can't I go back?"
Suddenly, the heart rate on the monitor jumped from 75 to 82. Lin Ci'an didn't notice it, he was immersed in his own confession.
"Do you remember the first time we met? In the hotel... Guo Mingjie hugged you..."
His voice got lower and lower. "I was so angry at the time that I thought it was because of Guo Mingjie's cheating... Now I know that I was jealous..."
"I'm jealous that he can touch you openly... and I can only use 'revenge' as an excuse to get close to you..."
Another tear fell, this time on Chu Ziyu's cheek, sliding down his teardrop mole like a real tear.
