Lin Qiutong spent an hour processing the news that Shen Chi Yan loved her and had confessed his feelings.
Another hour was spent processing the fact that Shen Chi Yan had, by hook or by crook, married Song Qi Nian.
Lin Lan Xing looked at Lin Qiutong with concern, thinking she couldn't accept Shen Chi Yan marrying another woman. She anxiously comforted her, "Sister, you must believe Brother Chi Yan loves you. He and Song Qi Nian's marriage was forced. Song Qi Nian is stupid and ugly. Now that you're awake, Brother Chi Yan will definitely divorce her!"
Lin Qiutong remained silent, her feelings extremely complex.
When she woke up to learn she had been in a coma for three years, and then heard that Shen Chi Yan and Song Qi Nian were already married, she thought she had no chance.
She never expected things to take such a turn.
Did even Heaven look down and decide to help her, giving her a chance to have Shen Chi Yan?
This was great!
It hadn't been in vain that she stayed in bed for three years.
"Oh my... look at my memory. You're awake. I must quickly notify Brother Chi Yan."
Lin Lan Xing took out her phone to make a call, but Lin Qiutong grabbed her hand. "No!"
"Huh? Sister, don't you want to see Brother Chi Yan? Or... are you angry because Brother Chi Yan married Song Qi Nian, so you don't want to see him?"
Lin Qiutong's complexion was still very pale. She gently shook her head. "A Yan also had his difficulties. I don't blame him. It's just... in this state, I'm afraid he'll..."
Before Lin Qiutong could finish speaking, Lin Lan Xing interrupted her. "How could he? Brother Chi Yan loves you so much. No matter what you look like, you're the most beautiful in his heart."
"No... let me recover a bit, then we'll talk."
Lin Lan Xing wanted to say more, but then she suddenly remembered that Lin Qiutong had been bedridden for three years, and during this time, Shen Chi Yan had been with Song Qi Nian.
Furthermore, she had seen the hickeys on Song Qi Nian's neck last time. She couldn't guarantee Shen Chi Yan hadn't touched Song Qi Nian during these three years.
That Song Qi Nian was so capable and manipulative. What if Shen Chi Yan developed feelings for her over time?
That's right. Although Shen Chi Yan visited her sister often, who knew if his heart had changed? It was better not to let him see her sister looking so haggard.
And Lin Qiutong not letting Lin Lan Xing notify Shen Chi Yan immediately wasn't because she was truly afraid of him seeing her weak and haggard appearance. It was because she hadn't sorted out her feelings to face Shen Chi Yan yet.
Since Shen Chi Yan believed he loved her, everything would be easy.
Now that Heaven had given her this chance, she had to grasp it firmly.
...
When the car accident happened, Song Qi Nian injured her leg.
With a hundred days of recovery needed for a fractured bone, Shen Chi Yan wouldn't agree to her discharge.
Zhang Qiao Qiao brought nutritious meals every day. Although the taste was good, one could get tired of it.
On this day, Song Qi Nian particularly craved hot and sour noodles, but Shen Chi Yan immediately rejected it.
"With your body, eating hot and sour noodles!"
Shen Chi Yan pursed his lips and stared at Shen Chi Yan with innocent and wronged eyes.
Shen Chi Yan: "..."
Shen Chi Yan couldn't stand Song Qi Nian looking at him like that. Just because he wouldn't let her eat spicy and sour noodles, it was as if she had committed an unforgivable sin against him.
In a flash, he remembered Song Qi Nian throwing away the roses sent by Guan Ming Xu without hesitation. His mood improved greatly, and he finally agreed.
The smell of hot and sour noodles was quite strong. The moment Shen Chi Yan smelled it, his face turned quite unpleasant.
He looked at the bowl with disgust, seriously doubting if this was food for humans.
But seeing Song Qi Nian eating with gusto, a look of satisfaction on her face, he suddenly felt that the smell wasn't that unbearable!
However... after eating this, she wouldn't be able to kiss him for at least a month... ten days... or three days!
Song Qi Nian hadn't eaten hot and sour noodles in a long time and found them to be a delicacy, superior to any rich meat dishes. She finished the entire large bowl.
When Shen Chi Yan saw her put down the bowl, he peeled a candy and put it in her mouth, under the guise of "freshening her breath."
"Next time you eat something like this, you must brush your teeth at least five times."
Song Qi Nian nodded with a smile. He couldn't even stand the smell of hot and sour noodles, so what would his reaction be if she ate luosifen...
Thinking of Shen Chi Yan's likely reaction of pinching his nose and cursing, Song Qi Nian couldn't help but chuckle.
The next second, Shen Chi Yan cupped her face. Song Qi Nian looked up and met Shen Chi Yan's dark, intense gaze.
"What wicked thoughts are you harboring?"
Song Qi Nian shook her head, her expression as innocent as could be.
Shen Chi Yan's heart stirred, and his lips, uncontrollably, pressed down.
But before they could kiss, Song Qi Nian covered her mouth. Her mouth might still have the taste of hot and sour noodles, so she couldn't let him kiss her!
What if she found it disgusting?
Song Qi Nian's rejection made Shen Chi Yan's face darken. He pried her hands away and said with a slightly cold voice, "If you don't let me kiss you, who do you want to kiss? That immature brat Guan Ming Xu?"
Song Qi Nian shook her head like a rattle drum. Shen Chi Yan snorted, "I reckon you wouldn't dare!"
He gripped Song Qi Nian's chin and leaned in for a kiss again. Suddenly, his phone rang.
All the pleasant atmosphere and good mood were ruined by this call. He took out his phone, saw it was Lin Lan Xing calling, frowned slightly, released Song Qi Nian, and answered the phone.
"Hello..."
"Brother Chi Yan, my sister is awake!"
Hearing this, Shen Chi Yan didn't have time to think. He had already run out of Song Qi Nian's ward.
At the ward entrance, Shen Chi Yan suddenly stopped. After a moment of struggle, he didn't look back at Song Qi Nian and went directly to Lin Qiutong's ward.
Song Qi Nian was a little bewildered. Who was the person who called Shen Chi Yan just now?
Why did Shen Chi Yan's face look so bad?
Did something happen?
Shen Chi Yan found Song Qi Nian's phone for her. After hesitating for a moment, she still sent him a WeChat message, "Did something happen?"
As expected, Shen Chi Yan did not reply to her message.
When Shen Chi Yan pushed the door open and entered, he saw Lin Qiutong sitting on the hospital bed.
Her complexion was still very pale, and she looked very weak.
The moment Shen Chi Yan entered, Lin Qiutong also looked at him. Their eyes met, and tears immediately streamed from Lin Qiutong's eyes. She stretched out her hand towards Shen Chi Yan, crying, "A Yan..."
Shen Chi Yan walked step by step towards Lin Qiutong. The people surrounding Lin Qiutong consciously made way for Shen Chi Yan.
Ye Fang Lin wiped her tears at the side, while Lin Xing An embraced her shoulders and comforted her silently.
As soon as Shen Chi Yan walked over, Lin Qiutong threw herself into his arms. She cried, feeling wronged and heartbroken, "A Yan, I missed you so much. I thought I would never see you again."
