Ye Jia half-lyed on the hospital bed, looking at Zheng Xuan who was walking towards him step by step, his eyes were filled with melancholy for a short moment.
Zheng Xuan looked mature and aged a lot. Her memory still stays in five years ago, when she was about to graduate, Zheng Xuan confessed to her behind her brother's back, the young boy was holding a large bouquet of roses, smiling affectionately but not seriously.
But Ye Jia knew that he was the most timid person. After thinking about it in secret for four years, he dared to confess his love so seriously. Because she was afraid that her brother would obstruct her, she deliberately picked a time when her brother was on a business trip.
At that time, she thought that they still had a lot of time, and the future was still long enough for the two of them to plan slowly.
But I don't want to wake up, and things have changed. The big boy back then is already a suave and mature man.
Their best five years of youth just passed by in vain.
Ye Jia stared intently at the man walking towards him, tears gradually filled his eyes.
"Jiajia..." Zheng Xuan was startled by her sudden tears, and went to wipe her tears at a loss, "Don't cry..."
Ye Jia shook her head and let out a small sob. She wanted to say that she didn't want to cry, but she just couldn't help it. But the dry throat didn't listen, and only made a short breath.
Ye Hansheng took a tissue to wipe her tears, and said coldly: "Doesn't Jiajia want to see him? I'll let him go now. Don't cry, it's not good for your eyes."
Zheng Xuan was annoyed, "You!"
Ye Jia also shook his head vigorously, moved his hands on the quilt, and stared at Zheng Xuan with a pair of water-soaked eyes.
Zheng Xuan was flustered by her crying, met her eyes and managed to calm down, gently held her hand, and said softly: "I'm here, don't cry."
Ye Jia sniffed softly and nodded. Zheng Xuan gently wiped away her tears, "Do you still remember the past?"
Ye Jia nodded hesitantly.
"Just remember." Zheng Xuan pushed her messy hair behind her ears, and explained the current situation to her softly, "You were in a car accident and slept for a long time. It has been five years since the car accident."
After Zheng Xuan finished speaking, he was afraid that she would be worried, so he quickly added: "But Jiajia is still as beautiful as when she was in college, she hasn't changed at all."
Ye Jia pursed her lips lightly, with a warm smile in her eyes.
"The doctor said that you have slept for too long, and your body has not yet adapted. It will take a while to recover slowly. So don't worry, we will be with you."
Ye Jia nodded again, turned to Ye Hansheng, and looked at his crutch with some doubts.
Ye Hansheng understood her meaning, smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, it's almost over."
Ye Jia frowned, his eyes searched again, he opened and closed his lips a few times, and mumbled out a word, "...Mom?"
Several people listened carefully, but fell silent after hearing clearly.
Looking across the faces of the silent people, Ye Jia's puzzled expression gradually turned into worry. She tried hard to speak, but in the end she could only look at Ye Hansheng quietly and sadly.
Ye Hansheng's Adam's apple rolled, and his eye sockets were slightly red. But in the face of his sister's doubts, he could only raise his hand and gently stroke her hair, explaining to him in a hoarse voice, "Mom... Mom is gone. We had a car accident, and Mom didn't save her..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Jia's tears had already flowed all over his face. Ye Han wiped her with pity, and tried his best to comfort her gently, "It's okay, there is still brother, brother will protect you."
Ye Jia leaned into his arms, his shoulders trembling slightly.
"When you recover, we'll go back to China. I'll take you to see your mother. If she knows you're awake, she will be very happy." Ye Hansheng patted her on the back.
Hearing the bad news suddenly, it took Ye Jia a long time to calm down, her eyes were crying like peaches, Wen Run went to get a wet towel and wiped her face clean.
Ye Jia has an impression of his voice. When she is conscious, she can often hear different people talking to her. Some voices are familiar to her, and some are unfamiliar. In fact, she often does not remember the content of the conversation clearly. But she remembered this very gentle voice.
"Okay, you can rest for a while." Wen Run wiped her face clean, and smiled softly at her.
Ye Jia returned him a faint smile, let him roll down the hospital bed, and then closed his eyes.
Seeing that she was asleep with her eyes closed, the others stopped bothering her in the ward and retreated lightly.
After leaving the ward, several people were relatively silent. Things that were originally extremely joyful suddenly became heavy when talking about the past.
Gu Sinian sighed heavily, and looked at Ye Hansheng, "How are you going to tell Jiajia about the things about the Ye family?"
Ye Hansheng was silent for a moment, pinching the center of his brows wearily, "If Jiajia doesn't ask, then don't talk about it first. Let's talk about everything after she recovers, so as not to stimulate her emotions."
Zheng Xuan also agreed, "Knowing that my aunt is gone today is enough for her to be sad for a while. There is no need to let her be sad about those bad things."
"Then be careful with what you say in the future, don't let it slip." Gu Sinian said.
Several people reached a consensus before leaving the hospital.
Gu Sinian wanted to go back to the company to deal with matters, so he left first. Zheng Xuan muttered about getting a haircut, and drove away too. In the end, Wen Run and Ye Hansheng were left.
Ye Jia was resting, and it was not easy for the two of them to guard, so they went back to the temporary place together.
Ye Hansheng was obviously depressed, Wen Run thought for a while, and brought him a bowl of porridge, "You didn't have time to eat just now, did you? Let's drink some porridge first."
When Ye Jia woke up, the three of them had just left, Wen Run reckoned that they didn't have time to eat.
"Not hungry." Ye Hansheng approached the sofa wearily, and opened his hands to him, "Give me a hug."
Rourou hesitated for a moment, then put down the bowl and sat down. Ye Hansheng stretched out his long arms and wrapped him in his arms. Jaw rests relaxed on his shoulder.
He didn't speak, and Wen Run didn't open his mouth either.
After a long silence, Ye Hansheng finally opened his mouth, "Jiajia is not like me, she may have feelings for Ye Maokai."
When Ye Jia was still in school, Ye Hansheng discussed many things with his mother, and did not tell her the details. After the car accident, Ye Jia fell into a coma and never woke up again.
So she didn't know the disgusting things Ye Maokai did.
"Jiajia is soft-hearted, I am afraid that she will forgive Ye Maokai, and I am also afraid that she will..." Blame me.
Ye Han paused for the next words, but did not finish. He didn't want to speculate about his own sister like this, but he couldn't help feeling scared.
Ye Jia is his closest family member in this world, he dare not imagine what he would do if Ye Jia complained about him because of this, and even begged him to let Ye Maokai go.
He was born with a cold heart, and he would not be merciful even to his biological father. But Ye Jia was different from him.
Ye Jia is kind by nature and soft-hearted, but people tend to habitually favor the weak. She didn't see Ye Maokai's evil, after waking up, Ye Maokai had already been sent to a mental hospital. Ye Jia had already lost her mother when she woke up, and now, Ye Hansheng wanted her to lose her father, Ye Hansheng hardly dared to think about the reproachful look in her eyes.
He never regretted what he did to the Ye family, but he was afraid that Ye Jia would have a grudge against him because of this.
"No..." Wen Run comforted him earnestly. He felt that Ye Hansheng was a little too nervous. Although he had never been in contact with Ye Jia, it could be seen from their words that Ye Jia was an independent and assertive girl. Although pampered, she is not delicate, nor is she the kind of naive girl who is ignorant of the world.
"You should have more confidence in her." Wen Runkai explained: "Think about it, if she still cares about Ye Maokai, why didn't she say a word when she woke up? Instead, she was always sad for her mother."
Wen Run felt that even if Ye Hansheng didn't say anything, she should have understood in her heart, and she had already made a choice.
It's just that Ye Hansheng's concern is chaotic, so he has so many worries.
Maybe his explanation helped, or maybe Ye Hansheng really figured it out. In short, his tense body finally relaxed a little, hugging Wen Run, and the two stayed quietly for a while.
…
In the afternoon, after the nurse checked Ye Jia, they were allowed to enter the ward again.
Zheng Xuan changed into a new hairstyle, with short hair stubble like a student who just left school, and the mature suit was replaced by a T-shirt and trousers, making him look much younger.
Zheng Xuan finally regained a bit of self-confidence, showed off his new look coquettishly, and asked Ye Jia with joy, "Did I look like this when I was young?"
Ye Han snorted, "It's as stupid as when I was young."
Zheng Xuan didn't take his cold eyes seriously, and looked at Ye Jia expectantly, "Do you like it? Do you feel familiar?"
Ye Jia nodded with a smile, his eyes somewhat nostalgic.
With her affirmation, Zheng Xuan became more and more proud. Dou Sheng glanced at Ye Hansheng like a rooster, and said cautiously: "From now on, I will wear it like this every day. You will get used to it after seeing it too much."
Ye Jia nodded and shook his head again, the corners of his mouth curved a bit wider.
A few people had dinner with Ye Jia. Ye Jia just woke up, his stomach was still very fragile, and he still drank porridge, but he could already eat some meat.
After dinner, Zheng Xuan moved the wheelchair again, carried her on it, and added a down jacket and hand warmers to her, "It's still early, I'll take you out to digest food."
Ye Jia was sitting in a wheelchair, her gentle eyes were bright, and she was obviously looking forward to the outside world.
So Zheng Xuan pushed the wheelchair, accompanied by three other people, and took Ye Jia out for a walk.
Although it is winter now, the weather is good today, there is no wind, and even the sunset is warm.
Ye Jia blinked, trying to see the surrounding plants and trees. Everything here is strange and novel to her. She has lost too much time, which cannot be made up overnight. They have to accompany her to slowly adapt to this strange world.
Zheng Xuan babbled about some of the current changes to her. Ye Jia listened carefully, and raised his head slightly to look at Zheng Xuan when he was interested. Speak once.
Ye Hansheng watched from the side, with a sour smell coming out of his body. Although he also wants to tell stories to his sister, but he is used to being reticent, and his way of speaking is habitually cold, which is not suitable for telling stories, and may even scare his sister. So even though he was crazy and unhappy, he could only watch from the side.
Wen Run looked funny by his side, and whispered: "I think Brother Zheng and Jiajia have a very good relationship. After Jiajia gets better, they will get married, right?"
Ye Han frowned, subconsciously said: "Jiajia is still young—" Before he finished speaking, he realized that Ye Jia was 27 years old this year. Although the five years of sleeping have hardly left any marks on her body, she still looks like a young college student, but in fact, she is 27 years old this year.
If there was no car accident, perhaps she and Zheng Xuan would have been married a long time ago, what's more, he might already have a lively and lovely little nephew or niece.
Ye Hansheng sighed softly, and fell silent immediately.
Wen Run took his hand naturally, and smiled sideways: "In the future, our house will be bought together with Jiajia's and the others, shall we?"
Originally, Ye Hansheng had prepared two adjacent houses in Songhai Mansion, but something happened to Ye Jia before he sent them out. Later, he lived in one house and Wen Run lived in the other house. It would be too troublesome to dismantle and redecorate, and Wen Run felt that he probably wouldn't want Ye Jia to live there again.
"Okay." Ye Hansheng shook his hand back, "I know that there is a newly opened villa area that is not bad, with good greenery and a large garden. Let's take a look together when we go back? If you like it, we will buy two sets, one for each. Set it up for yourself and give it to Jiajia."
Wen Run nodded with a smile, and discussed with him in a rambling manner, "It's good to have a garden, but walnuts are always boring if you keep them at home. At that time, you can build a small house for it in the garden and let it have fun..."
A group of four wandered around the courtyard of the inpatient department for a while, and returned to the ward after the outside temperature dropped. After strolling around outside, Ye Jia's complexion and energy are good. After going back, the nurse came over with water to wipe her body. It was inconvenient for them to stay, so they left.
From the beginning to the end of this day, she never asked anything about Ye Maokai.
Wen Run and Ye Hansheng stayed in the United States for another half a month. In late November, their vacation could not be extended any longer, so they reluctantly bid farewell to Ye Jia and prepared to go back.
When the two were packing their luggage and preparing to leave, Ye Jia also came. She can already speak some short sentences. In addition to the necessary medical treatment, Dr. Bruce has been encouraging her to go outside more, which is conducive to her faster adaptation and recovery. So Zheng Xuan took her out to see him off.
During this period of time, Ye Jia and Wen Run became closer and closer. Seeing that he was about to leave, she held his hand with some reluctance, and pointed to her mobile phone, "WeChat, video."
Wen Run understood what she meant and nodded, "I'll make a video call with you when I get there."
Ye Jia smiled lightly.
The three of them were talking, but Ye Hansheng received a call from Gu Sinian.
What Gu Sinian said on the phone, Ye Hansheng's expression changed, and he quickly covered it up, glanced at Ye Jia secretly, and said calmly: "Okay, I understand, then I won't leave today, the cooperation details will be tomorrow Let’s meet and talk about it.”
"Is it a business matter? Are you leaving today?" Several people looked at him suspiciously.
Ye Hansheng smiled, and said without any flaws: "Yes, there is a customer who cooperates with us and wants to increase investment temporarily. We will stay for a few more days until the cooperation is finalized."
Wen Run looked at him suspiciously, but didn't ask any further questions. But Ye Jia knew that they were not leaving for the time being, so he smiled happily, gently tugged at the corner of Wen Run's clothes, and together, "Go back."
Wen Run smiled and said, "Okay."
The four of them went back the same way, and when Ye Jia was sent back to the hospital, Wen Run looked at Ye Hansheng worriedly, "What happened?"
