In the ICU...
Li Tianwei's father, Li Guoxiang, and mother, Zhao Min, sat on a sofa in a daze, looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, but felt desolate in their hearts. Their tears have already flowed away in the past few days...
Their only son has been filial and excellent since he was a child. How happy the family was when they received the admission letter from a key university! But…
Li Tianwei had been lying on the hospital bed and fell into a coma for three days and three nights. His body was covered with needles, his entire face was covered with gauze, and only his eyes were exposed. But those beautiful and deep eyes were tightly closed, as if they could never be opened again.
Lan Xi'er stood timidly at the door, looked at Li Tianwei's bloodless face on the hospital bed, and tightly put away the hand holding the door frame.
She really wanted to talk to his parents, she would rather they beat her and scold her. However, she couldn't stand them looking at her with such indifferent eyes. They used to like her so much, and they often joked about making her their daughter-in-law...
Just when she secretly wiped away tears again, Li Tianwei's long eyelashes moved slightly, and then... the eyelids opened bit by bit.
"He's awake! He's awake!" Lan Xi'er ecstatically grabbed a nurse passing by in the corridor, and pulled her in.
The sluggish eyes of Li Guoxiang and Zhao Min also became focused in an instant, and they rushed to the hospital bed with tears in their eyes, and held Li Tianwei's hand tightly: "Son, you are finally awake. If there is anything wrong with you, the two of us I can't live anymore..."
Li Tianwei moved his lips and made an extremely weak voice: "Mom and Dad... I'm fine, I'm worrying you."
Lan Xi'er stood behind them, tears streaming down her face. In the past few days, she didn't know how she survived, it was like a hell on earth.
"Xi'er..." Li Tianwei's eyes fell on her, "Don't cry, am I okay?" He originally raised his hand to wipe the tears off her face...but he couldn't exert any strength .
Hearing what he said, Lan Xi'er cried even harder, and said sobbingly: "Li Tianwei, I'm sorry for you...it's all because of me..."
"Don't cry... It makes me sad to see you cry." Li Tianwei's bloodshot eyes also had tears.
"Okay, I won't cry!" Lan Xi'er hastily stretched out her hand, wiped away the tears on her face indiscriminately, and showed him a forced smile.
Later, Li Tianwei stayed in the hospital for half a month, and Lan Xi'er took good care of him. All the students in the class came to see him one after another, especially Luo Yichen and Su Rourou, who came almost every day.
On the day he was discharged from the hospital and returned home, Lan Xi'er helped him to lie down on the bed, first covered him with a quilt, then turned around and poured him a glass of water.
Li Tianwei lay quietly on the bed, watching her busy figure for him, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth. However, that smile was fleeting and was replaced by a low sigh.
"Xi'er..." He softly called her name, "All of this is voluntary, you don't have to be so nice to me..."
Lan Xi'er interrupted him before he finished speaking. She held his hand tightly, with tears in her eyes again: "Li Tianwei, can we be together?"
Li Tianwei raised his eyes and glanced at her, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes at first, but soon dimmed: "If you are only with me out of gratitude or emotion...then I would rather not."
Lan Xi'er was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer his question. During the three days and three nights of waiting for him to wake up, the only thought in her heart was: if he can wake up, she will definitely treat him well...
However, is this love or emotion? Even she herself can't figure it out.
"Li Tianwei, I..." She really wanted to say something to prove that she wasn't moved, but she got stuck in her throat and couldn't utter a word.
"You don't need to rush to give me the answer, think it through first..." Li Tianwei showed her a pale smile, "I, you can wait..."
