The next morning.
Su Yi guessed that Lan Fuchu had woken up, so he called him, but the call didn't go through. He didn't know whether he didn't see him or didn't want to answer.
Su Yi felt helpless and hung up the phone.
At nine o'clock, Gu's secretary knocked on the door and said, "Miss Su, are you awake?"
"Awake, what's up?"
"Master is awake and wants to see you now."
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Su Yi simply tidied up the toilet in the ward and went to the intensive care unit.
Gu Benmo's fever had subsided. He opened his eyes and looked at Su Yi with a pale face.
Su Yi sat next to him, forced a smile, and said softly, "Are you awake? How do you feel?"
"Not bad." He spoke softly, his voice hoarse.
Su Yi touched his forehead and found that he was no longer feverish. "Do you have an appetite now?"
Gu Benmo shook his head, "No."
"It's not good for you to keep not eating. How about this, I'll ask someone to bring you some porridge. Can you eat as much as you can?"
He thought about it and nodded.
Throughout the day, as long as Gu Benmo woke up, Su Yi would stay with her in the intensive care unit.
In the afternoon, Song Yanan's secretary brought daily necessities.
Su Yi took a shower and went down to the department to change the dressing. It was already evening and the sunset dyed the entire sky red. Su Yi looked at it silently without saying anything.
It was Fu Jinglun who bandaged her. He applied medicine, wrapped it with white gauze, and warned: "Don't touch water with this hand for the time being."
"Okay, by the way, is my report out yet? How's the report?"
"Let me take a look." Fu Jinglun stopped bandaging, opened her report on the computer, took a look, and said, "Nothing's wrong."
"I told you, there won't be any problem." Su Yi smiled.
Fu Jinglun looked at her, his eyes behind the lenses deep and sharp.
Su Yi said: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You only scratched your arm this time, it's a blessing in disguise..."
"Hey!" Su Yi interrupted him, "Fu Jinglun, please don't look so serious and scary all the time, okay? After all, I am also a patient who escaped death. If you talk like this, I will have nightmares when I go back, you know? And your eyes are really scary, okay?"
Fu Jinglun pushed his glasses up and said sternly, "Really? Maybe it's because I'm too serious and don't know how to joke."
"He was fine when he was in school, how come he has become so sinister now..." Su Yi muttered softly.
"What?" Fu Jinglun didn't hear clearly.
Su Yi quickly said, "No, I didn't say anything. I'll go up after the bandage is done. Ben Mo may want to see me when he wakes up."
"I just have to go upstairs to check on the wards. Let's go up together."
"good."
As they were talking, the two came out of the department, took the elevator, and arrived outside the intensive care unit.
Su Yi seemed to remember something and turned to ask, "Fu Jinglun, how long will Ben Mo have to stay in this ward?"
"A week, if all goes well."
"What if it doesn't go well?"
"If things don't go well, it could take one or two months."
The two entered the intensive care unit. Father Gu was feeding porridge to Gu Benmo. Mrs. Gu and Zhao Jing'er were standing beside them, talking softly to Gu Benmo. Gu Benmo acted as if he didn't hear them and drank the porridge in silence with his head down.
"How are you feeling today?" Fu Jinglun stepped forward and asked the question that doctors should ask every day.
Gu Benmo looked up at Fu Jinglun with a puzzled expression, "Why are you here?"
"Because I am your attending physician." Fu Jinglun stood in front of the bed with a calm expression.
Father Gu quickly stood up and shook hands with him, "Dean, you are here."
"Well, come and see the patient." Fu Jinglun nodded with a rare smile, took out the stethoscope, examined Gu Benmo, and looked at the device that was supplying oxygen to him, "It seems that he has recovered well, everything is fine."
After hearing this, the expressions of several people in the ward relaxed.
Zhao Jing'er said to Fu Jinglun: "Fu Jinglun, long time no see, do you still remember me?"
Fu Jinglun looked at her for a moment and nodded, "Remember, Zhao Jing'er, right?"
"Yeah!" Zhao Jing'er smiled sweetly, "It's rare that you still remember me. I haven't seen you for a few years. Have you become the director of the hospital?"
"Yes." Fu Jinglun is not good at socializing, and he answered Zhao Jing'er's enthusiasm in a stiff manner.
Zhao Jing'er chatted with him for a while.
Su Yi walked to Gu Benmo's bed and took a look at the porridge he was eating, which was half a bowl. She smiled with satisfaction and said, "Do you have an appetite for porridge now?"
"Didn't you ask me to eat it?"
Su Yi nodded, smiling, "I asked you to eat, but I didn't expect you to be so obedient. Then eat more."
"Yes." Gu Benmo nodded, "I will."
At this time, Su Yi's cell phone rang. It was Professor Bran from the UK. Su Yi walked out of the ward to answer the call. The other party said a few words. Su Yi nodded and said in English: "Okay, I will find time to go over."
After hanging up the phone, she returned to the ward. Just as she sat on the nursing chair in front of the bed, Gu's father handed her a bowl of porridge. Su Yi was about to say "I don't want to eat it" when she realized that this bowl of porridge was not for her. She smiled awkwardly, took the bowl of porridge, picked up the spoon, and fed it to Gu Benmo mouthful by mouthful.
Gu Benmo ate it spoonful by spoonful obediently, and then he heard Su Yi say in his ear: "Professor Bran said that Alan had another accident recently, and he wanted me to find time to go over and take a look."
"Yeah." Gu Benmo responded softly, "So what do you think?"
"I don't really think so. Since the front line needs me, I certainly won't refuse. I think I'll go over and take a look in the next two days."
"Okay, do you want me to book a flight for you?"
"No need, you're already so weak, I'll ask my friend to book a ticket for you."
Gu Benmo was quiet for a moment, then said, "Take Mu Nanxi with you. He can take care of you whenever you need to."
Su Yi groaned, "Okay, I'll take him with me."

evening.
After get off work, Lan Fuchu sat on the sofa, loosened his tie, and turned on his mobile phone again.
He opened the contact list and saw a missed call. He looked at it for a long time but did not take any further action.
Sister Jing came over and called him to eat, "Sir, dinner is ready."
Lan Fuchu nodded, "Where's Su Yi? Has he come back today?"
"No, but Master Yan An came over, took some of Madam's clothes and a charger, and left."
Lan Fuchu didn't say anything. He walked into the kitchen and saw a large table of dishes, which made him lose his appetite.
He turned around and walked back without eating a single bite of food.
I entered the study, sat in front of the long desk, turned on the computer, and continued to work...
After typing on the computer for a while, he felt really upset, so he stopped typing, glanced at the phone next to him, and opened it again. It was quiet. Apart from the missed call in the morning, there were no messages or text messages.
It was soon twelve o'clock, but Su Yi still hadn't come back.
Lan Fuchu stared at the silent phone in silence. He became a little impatient and grabbed the phone and dialed her short number.
The phone rang for the first time and no one answered.
Lan Fuchu called the second one. This time the call finally got through after a few minutes of ringing. Lan Fuchu's face was gloomy, and the first thing he said was: "Are you coming back tonight?"
"I'm Benmo." Gu Benmo spoke. Su Yi went to wash the fruit. Her cell phone was left in the ward and kept ringing, so Gu Benmo answered it for her.
Lan Fuchu had no expression on his face. "Why did you answer the phone?"
"I'll answer it if I want. What's so strange about that?" Gu Benmo's voice was weak but contained a hint of provocation. "When we were in England, I was often the one who answered the phone for Yi. At that time, we were very harmonious."
"What do you mean by these words?"
"What I mean is that I have known Su Yi much longer than you have. I have known her since childhood."
"So what?" Someone's face seemed to be frozen.
"Nothing, just telling you who comes first."
"Heh." Lan Fuchu sneered, his voice becoming lighter, "Did she tell you that she is now a married woman?"
Gu Benmo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "What did you say?"
"What did I say? You can ask Su Yi in person, just ask who her legal husband is. If you continue to pester her, even if I hit you, the world will only think you deserve it, because..." He paused, his tone becoming more mocking, "You are seducing a married woman."
Gu Benmo sat up suddenly, but he had no strength in his body and couldn't sit up at all. He lay weakly on his side and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't believe it!"
"Whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with me. But we are licensed to work here. If you, who don't have a license, continue to do something bad to her, it will be considered an extramarital affair."
Gu Benmo pursed his lips and said nothing.
