Chapter 178: My Yanyan is the Most Obedient
That weak, hoarse “Feige” reached Gu Fei’s ears, and for a moment, he thought he was dreaming. But the young man who had been asleep in the hospital bed for twenty days had truly opened his clear, bright eyes.
“Yanyan…”
The man’s voice trembled uncontrollably. He wanted to pull him into a tight embrace but was afraid of hurting him. In the end, he hugged him with the utmost care, his own shoulders trembling slightly, as if he were trying to suppress a powerful emotion.
“Feige.” An Qingyan was still a bit dazed, but he subconsciously hugged Gu Fei back, gently patting his back in a soothing gesture. “Feige, it’s okay now.”
“I’m a little thirsty…”
“Okay, Feige will get you some water.” Gu Fei released him and stood up to pour a glass of warm water, bringing it to the young man’s lips himself. An Qingyan was indeed thirsty and drank the entire glass while Gu Fei held it. The moisture finally soothed his dry lips and tongue, and his voice became a little clearer.
Gu Fei took a tissue and carefully wiped the droplets of water from the corner of An Qingyan’s mouth, then asked with concern, “Are you still thirsty? Are you hungry? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?”
An Qingyan shook his head. “I feel fine.”
After all, he couldn’t feel pain, so he couldn’t tell.
Gu Fei called for the doctor, who came to give An Qingyan a thorough examination.
At the An residence—
An Jing brought out a late-night snack. “Mom, I made you something. You should eat a little, or your body won’t be able to take it.”
An Yu also chimed in, “That’s right. Look how much weight you’ve lost these past few days. Yanyan would be heartbroken if he knew.”
Song Shuman sighed. “You two go ahead. I don’t have an appetite.” During this period, she hadn’t been able to eat or sleep, worrying about her youngest son day and night. She had even grown many more white hairs.
Thinking of the suffering Yanyan had endured, her heart felt as if a heavy stone was crushing it, making it hard to breathe.
An Jing knew that nothing he said would help; he felt the same way. “Then you should go rest early. We’ll go see Yanyan at the hospital tomorrow.”
Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang. It was Gu Fei. He answered the call, and upon hearing what the other person said, his eyes widened in shock, his grip tightening on his phone. “Are you serious? Yanyan’s awake?!”
Hearing this, Song Shuman and An Yu were just as ecstatic. An Yu fell right off the sofa and, ignoring the pain, grinned like a fool. “Yanyan’s awake? Is Yanyan really awake?!”
“Okay, we’ll be right there!”
“Yanyan’s awake! Call Dad, let’s go to the hospital together!”
“Dad! Yanyan’s awake!! Stop showering and come out quickly, we’re all going to the hospital!!!”
An Lingkang, who was in the middle of a shower, heard the news and rushed out to put on his clothes without even taking the time to rinse off the soap suds.
Seeing his son was what mattered most!
“Hey, don’t run so fast! Wait for me!”
——
The doctor carefully examined An Qingyan’s body. For now, there seemed to be no major issues, but a more detailed check-up was still needed. Just waking up was already a wonderful outcome.
“Feige, was I in a car accident?”
An Qingyan felt as if he had just woken from a long dream. He remembered it was the day filming for Legend of Kyushu wrapped up, which was also his birthday. A car had crashed into them on the way to the restaurant, and he had no memory of what came after.
Gu Fei: “Yes. You were in a coma for twenty days straight.”
“Twenty days…” An Qingyan’s eyes widened in disbelief. He looked at the man before him, who was noticeably thinner than he remembered. His face was haggard, with dark circles under his eyes, red veins striping the whites, and even a short, bluish stubble on his chin.
He had never seen Gu Fei like this. In his memory, the man was always impeccably dressed, clean and tidy, and would never let his stubble grow out, always paying great attention to his personal image.
An Qingyan couldn’t imagine what Gu Fei had gone through in those twenty days, how worried and anxious he must have been, all for him. If he thought about it from another perspective, if it had been Gu Fei who had gotten into the accident… he didn’t dare to imagine.
The young man’s eyes reddened with heartache for Gu Fei. He leaned in and wrapped his arms around the man’s waist, his voice choked with emotion. “Feige, I’m sorry. I made you worry.”
“Baby, this isn’t your fault.” Gu Fei closed his eyes, feeling the warmth and breath of the person in his arms. The emotions he had suppressed for so long finally broke through, and tears welled up, wetting his eyelashes.
“The doctor told me you might never wake up again.” The man’s voice trembled. “I told them you would definitely wake up, but in my heart, I kept thinking, what if…”
“What if my Yanyan really had to lie in a hospital bed for the rest of his life? What would I do then…”
Scalding tears streamed down his cheeks, dripping onto the young man’s neck. The man’s usually calm and composed voice was now filled with helplessness and vulnerability. “Yanyan, I didn’t know what to do. I was so, so scared…”
He murmured into the young man’s ear.
“Thank goodness, thank goodness you woke up.”
“I knew it. My Yanyan is the most obedient.”
“You said you would never leave me for our entire lives.”
Feeling the warm liquid on his skin, An Qingyan turned his head and saw that the man’s eyes were red, with tears flowing down his cheeks. The tears seemed to scald the very tip of his heart.
He had never seen Gu Fei shed a tear.
Let alone cry so sorrowfully as he was now.
How much pain must Gu Fei have been in? How agonizing must these past few days have been for him? At this thought, An Qingyan’s nose stung fiercely, and tears streamed from his own eyes.
“I won’t, Feige. I won’t leave you.”
“Never… ever.”
Before long, the An family rushed over, along with Lu Yuqi and Yu Qingtong.
Gu Fei had already calmed down, but his reddened eyes still betrayed him. Fortunately, everyone’s attention was on An Qingyan, so no one noticed his appearance.
“Brother, you’re finally awake! Your second brother was so worried about you, wuwuwu…” An Yu immediately rushed forward to give his dear brother a warm hug, but before he could, his older brother grabbed him by the back of his collar.
“Yanyan is still injured! What are you hugging him for?!”
“Oh…”
An Qingyan smiled. “Big brother, don’t be so nervous. I’m mostly fine now.”
“Yanyan, you’re finally awake.” Song Shuman was already in tears. She carefully held her youngest son’s hand, her voice choked. “As long as you’re awake, as long as you’re awake…”
An Lingkang’s eyes were also red as he looked his youngest son up and down, asking with concern, “Yanyan, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Does your body still hurt?”
An Qingyan replied, “I’m fine. I’m sorry for making everyone worry during this time.”
“It’s all our fault. If only we hadn’t raised such a…” An Lingkang didn’t finish his sentence, letting out a sigh instead. “Yanyan, we’re the ones who made you suffer so much. It’s good that you’re okay now, it’s good…”
To avoid disturbing An Qingyan’s rest, the group didn’t stay in the room for too long. Song Shuman had wanted to stay and take care of him, but with Gu Fei watching over him, she wasn’t needed.
“Gu Fei, it’s been really hard on you during this time. You’ve done so much for Yanyan. Even as his mother, I feel ashamed.”
Gu Fei replied, “It’s what I should do.”
He did it willingly.
An Lingkang cleared his throat, a little embarrassed. “Gu Fei, I admit I didn’t approve of you and Yanyan before. But now, I can rest assured. You two should take good care of each other.”
Gu Fei nodded. “Mm, we will.”
“You don’t have to see us out. Go back and be with Yanyan.”
Gu Fei stood and watched them walk away before turning back toward the room. The young man on the bed was hugging his knees, his chin resting on them, his delicate brow furrowed as if deep in thought.
A long-absent smile appeared on the man’s lips. He sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over to kiss the corner of An Qingyan’s lips. “What are you thinking about so intently?”
“I just find it strange. Why would there be a car accident out of the blue?” An Qingyan frowned. “I vaguely remember that car deliberately crashed into us. It was too fast, I didn’t see clearly…”
“You’re not wrong.” Gu Fei’s gaze turned cold. “The driver of that car was An Nanyi. He did crash into you on purpose.”
“What?!”
There was no point in hiding it. Gu Fei explained everything. Even though An Nanyi was already dead, the man’s tone was still frigid when he mentioned him.
His hatred for An Nanyi far surpassed anyone else’s.
An Qingyan was silent for a moment, processing this information. He truly hadn’t expected An Nanyi to do something so insane. He knew An Nanyi wasn’t a good person, but he never realized he was a madman.
He gave a slight, bitter smile. “I really didn’t expect that…”
He would never feel sympathy for An Nanyi, nor would he ever forgive him. But now that the person was gone, their past grievances could be written off.
To hold on would only cause himself more grief.
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he felt a sense of loss, murmuring softly, “Then Mom and Dad… they must be sad, right? After all… it’s only human nature.”
An Nanyi had lived with the An family for so many years. He didn’t want his parents to be sad and heartbroken over what he had done.
“Don’t overthink it.” Gu Fei said seriously. “In their hearts, you are the most important.”
“Mm, I know.”
His parents, his brothers, and even his grandparents were all truly good to him.
“Anyway, let’s not talk about that.” An Qingyan took the man’s hand and played with it idly. Another thought came to him, and he sighed. “What a shame. We were supposed to celebrate my birthday together.”
Gu Fei felt it was a shame too. He had planned to propose.
“It’s okay. When you’re discharged from the hospital, Feige will make it up to you.”
An Qingyan: “Okay! Then I want a big cake, and lots and lots of delicious food.”
Gu Fei: “Yanyan can have whatever he wants.”
An Qingyan: “Then what I want right now is to shave your beard.”
Gu Fei smiled. “Okay.”
