Cheng Huanran, who was sleeping on the side, woke up immediately and asked: "How is it?"
What does it feel like?
Is it uncomfortable?”
"...It's nothing."
Xue Yang sleepily looked at his arms, which were wrapped like rice dumplings, and said in a hoarse voice, "Besides pain, can you feel anything else?"
Cheng Huanran was amused by him and said: "The anesthetic has worn off, so it must be a little difficult at first.
After I change the medicine tomorrow, the pain should not be that bad."
Xue Yang swallowed hard and looked around.
"Um...how long have I slept?
When is it?"
Cheng Huanran held down his body and ordered: "Don't move.
It’s about two o’clock in the evening now—yes, about two-fifty.”
"Fuck!"
Xue Yang frowned and cursed weakly: "It's so late...afternoon plus night! That's terrible! I - is the female classmate I saved okay?
How about it?
Are you okay?"
Cheng Huanran looked at him helplessly and explained: "It's not only difficult for you, but also for your parents.
After they received the call from their coach, they were almost frightened! The two of them hurried over, but could only wait outside the operating room.
Mom dropped her phone several times and even cried.
Dad kept a sullen face, but it was obvious that he was also worried."
"They...have all gone back?"
Xue Yang asked with wide eyes.
Cheng Huanran replied: "I won't go back until after twelve o'clock.
Your parents originally refused to leave, saying they would wait until you wake up before going back.
The doctor on duty came to chase people away and said that they could not keep too many people on guard overnight and could only keep one person.
I saw that their expressions were very bad, so I quickly asked Uncle Chen to take them back to the garden."
He turned around and poured half a cup of hot water, mixed with half of the bottled water, and fed Xue Yang to drink it in one gulp.
Xue Yang said "Ah" happily and urged: "One more drink... my throat is still thirsty!"
"good."
Cheng Huanran poured him another glass and explained: "My internal organs and stomach are fine. I can eat whatever I want when I wake up."
Of course, keep it light and don’t eat anything that is not good for your health.”
"Know it!"
Xue Yang narrowed his eyes and smiled: "This is not the first time I have been injured.
You send a message to your parents, telling them that I'm awake and I'm fine, so that they don't worry."
"I'll send it right away."
Cheng Huanran took out his mobile phone and yawned loudly, "It's not the first time I've been injured, but it's the first time I've been hurt so badly! You kid, you scared us all!"
Xue Yang frowned and muttered: "...I didn't expect it to be so serious."
Cheng Huanran finished typing and pressed send. He raised his eyebrows and joked: "The routine of a hero saving a beauty is very old, but the routine has been popular since ancient times."
"laugh!"
Xue Yang smiled and squinted his eyes to pretend: "When you see your classmates in danger, it is instinctive and necessary to help them."
Cheng Huanran chuckled and pointed out the flaw.
"You have different majors and different practice areas, so your instinct must be special, right?
Otherwise, how could we have a premonition that our classmates were in danger and come to the rescue in time?"
Forehead?
Xue Yang was slightly embarrassed, his eyes had nowhere to look.
Cheng Huanran said "wow" twice and joked: "We have been brothers for more than 20 years, but I, the eldest brother, don't know that you have special powers! You hide them so well! Why don't you show them to us?
Or can it only be shown to beautiful women?
ah?"
"Go! Go! Go!"
Xue Yang laughed and scolded: "I am a patient, do you know?
Are there any doctors who play tricks on patients like you?
Where have your professional ethics gone?
Have you fed the dogs?"
"Ha ha!"
Cheng Huanran pinched his other strong, uninjured arm and threatened: "You damn duck has a tough mouth, right?"
You like to divert attention, right?
Be lenient if you confess, be harsh if you resist.
If you don't tell me honestly, I'll pinch your other arm soon."
"you dare!"
Xue Yang muttered: "I want to see my doctor! Immediately! You threaten even the patient, are you still my brother?
Are you sure he's your brother?
ah?
Help, help! Someone is trying to kill my brother! Dad! Mom! Come back quickly! Brother, he wants to hurt me! My life is too gloomy! I can't live anymore!"
Cheng Huanran couldn't stop laughing and leaned closer.
"Stop pretending to me.
Let me tell you the truth.
Her roommate helped her over to see you earlier. Not only was I present, but my parents were as well.
That girl’s name is Xiaoxiao, right?”
Forehead?
Xue Yang was slightly embarrassed and hesitated: "...it's not what you think.
Is she okay?
I seemed to see her forehead bleeding before I fainted... I can't remember clearly."
"It's a bit serious."
Cheng Huanran told the truth: "But the situation is better than yours.
She should be able to continue diving, but... you may not be able to continue to exert force."
Xue Yang was stunned, blinked and asked: "What did you say?
Can’t you work hard?”
"The injury is a bit serious, and the blood vessels are broken..." Cheng Huanran whispered: "You actively cooperate with the doctor in rehabilitation, and since you are young and in good health, you should be able to recover well.
As for explosive power, after all, I was seriously injured, so it’s impossible to be exactly the same as before..."
Xue Yang closed his eyes, as if he couldn't accept it.
Cheng Huanran held his hand and murmured: "Yangyang, you can still swim, and you won't have any inconvenience in your daily life after recovery.
Moreover, you have to prepare to retire by the end of the year or early next year.
In this industry, you are already considered a veteran, so just quit.
You have to make some room for your junior brothers and sisters, right?"
"There is nothing I can do..." Xue Yang took a deep breath, with tears in the corners of his eyes: "God's arrangement... let it be as it is."
Cheng Huanran leaned down and hugged his chest tightly.
"I understand that you have regrets and unwillingness... I originally planned to delay telling you for a while, but the doctor will come to change the dressing tomorrow, and the coach will also come, so you will know tomorrow.
If someone else comes to speak, it's better for me to do it, so that you can be mentally prepared earlier.
My parents didn't dare to speak, so I had no choice but to volunteer.
There are gains and there are losses. You saved the life of your beloved girl, and exchanging such a loss for a fresh life is actually not a loss at all.
You were brave enough to save people and did not hesitate to use your body to block the equipment that accidentally fell off. Your courage and spirit are commendable.
My parents and I, as well as everyone in the family, are proud of you.
Your beloved girl will also be proud of you and grateful for the rest of her life."
Xue Yang smiled, sniffed, and forced back tears.
"...It's really not a loss at all... She was sitting underneath, and if I hadn't jumped forward in time to block it, the thing would have hit her head directly, and she might have died."
He glared at his eldest brother and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, she and I are not as complicated as you think.
The girl gave me water to drink several times, and she was quite nice to me.
I just reciprocated and thanked her! I don’t have a girlfriend at all!”
"real?"
Cheng Huanran didn't believe it at all and asked: "Is it really such a coincidence?
Are your eyes glued to her?
Otherwise, how could she have discovered that the equipment was malfunctioning earlier than she did?"
