Chapter 108: Reconciled as Before
In the private hospital room, Ye Zhile sat by Ji Shuohan’s bed. He looked at the ring in his hand and took out his own. After Ji Shuohan had given it to him that day, he had kept it without wearing it. Now, he put it on himself and put the other one on Ji Shuohan’s finger as well.
Ji Shuohan was out of mortal danger after emergency treatment, but he remained in a deep coma. The Ji family had hired a medical team for him, monitoring his data day and night, ready to perform emergency resuscitation the moment anything went wrong.
Ye Zhile had been with him all these days. He couldn’t understand it; Ji Shuohan was an Enigma, and his pheromones had healing properties. How could he remain in a coma?
Xiao Yuanqing had also joined the medical team, and everyone was worried about Ji Shuohan’s condition. When he saw Ye Zhile coming to find him, he almost stood up in a jolt, thinking something had happened to Ji Shuohan again. But seeing the calm on Ye Zhile’s face, it didn’t seem to be the case.
“Yuanqing-ge.” Ye Zhile entered. Xiao Yuanqing gestured for him to sit. “What’s wrong?”
“I want to ask why he’s been in a coma for so long?” Ye Zhile said. “He’s already out of mortal danger. Why hasn’t he woken up?”
“Because…” Xiao Yuanqing saw the nervous look on Ye Zhile’s face and told him the truth. “Because Shuohan’s bodily functions are currently storing pheromones. His pheromone fluid is severely depleted, so his brain has automatically entered a dormant state. It’s a form of protection. He will only wake up when his pheromones reach a certain level.”
“How could he be lacking pheromones? Can I give him mine?” Ye Zhile asked.
Xiao Yuanqing smiled and shook his head. “Of course not. Your pheromones were extracted, and Shuohan’s pheromone extraction fluid was used for your emergency treatment. If we used yours to save his, wouldn’t it just be a loop?”
“What?” Ye Zhile was shocked. He instantly understood. No wonder his state had recovered overnight after his pheromones were extracted, and he had felt nothing. Ye Zhile said anxiously, “But he was shot then! How could he use his pheromones to save me?”
“But this was what Shuohan instructed me to do,” Xiao Yuanqing said softly. “After your location was locked that day, he said that regardless of whether he lived or died, if you were in danger, I must use his pheromones to save you.”
Ye Zhile’s throat felt as if something was stuck in it; he couldn’t breathe, and it pained him terribly.
“Lele?” Xiao Yuanqing called him.
Ye Zhile shook his head and walked back to the patient room. He looked at Ji Shuohan’s gland, which was wrapped in gauze, and couldn’t imagine how jagged the wound inside must be.
He leaned over the bedside, grabbing Ji Shuohan’s hand and pressing it to his face. Scalding tears fell into the palm of the hand. Suddenly, Ye Zhile actually felt Ji Shuohan stroking his face. He hurriedly looked at the person on the bed; the man had already opened his eyes and was looking at him.
“Daren!” Ye Zhile stood up in joy. While pressing the call bell, he leaned down close to him, his face a mix of shock and delight as tears fell. “You’re finally awake…”
Ji Shuohan, wearing an oxygen mask, couldn’t speak. He used his thumb to wipe away Ye Zhile’s tears and gripped his hand tightly.
“One second Lele was asking when you’d wake up, and the next second you’re awake.” After finishing the physical exam, Xiao Yuanqing glanced at the silly-smiling Ye Zhile. “It’s still thanks to our little lucky star, Lele.”
“It’s because Daren’s body is powerful,” Ye Zhile said with a smile.
Having grown used to the way Ye Zhile had been opposing him lately, Ji Shuohan felt a bit unaccustomed to such a well-behaved version of him.
After Ji Shuohan woke up, many people came to see him. From the Ji family’s side, his father, his mother… and all the concubines came. Ye Zhile didn’t want to deal with such a scene, especially those concubines who asked a ton of questions they shouldn’t have, which was annoying.
Wen Yumiao, Ye Junting, and his two brothers also came to visit. After dealing with the crowd, Ji Shuohan’s wound was throbbing with pain. He sat against the headboard, waiting for Ye Zhile to return!
When Ye Zhile came back, he saw Ji Shuohan sitting alone at the head of the bed, looking dejected. The moment he saw Zhile, that dejection vanished instantly. Zhile walked over and sat by the bed. “Does Daren’s wound hurt?”
“A bit…” Ji Shuohan looked at his worried gaze and changed his answer. “It hurts quite a lot.”
“Then I’ll call Yuanqing-ge over.” As he spoke, Ye Zhile started to get up, but Ji Shuohan grabbed his hand and held it in his palm. “No need to call him. It’ll be better in a bit.”
“Oh.” Ye Zhile sat back down. Their hands were held together, and their rings clinked. Ji Shuohan looked down and saw that Ye Zhile was finally wearing that ring; a wave of warmth filled his heart.
Ye Zhile felt a bit embarrassed and tried to pull his hand back, but Ji Shuohan wouldn’t let go. “What are you doing?”
“Why are you holding my hand the whole time?” Ye Zhile asked. Ji Shuohan thought for a moment. “Then will you let me hug you?”
“……” Ye Zhile felt awkward, but he still leaned in for a hug obediently. He carefully avoided Ji Shuohan’s wound and embraced him.
After two years, Ji Shuohan finally held the person completely in his arms. The Omega’s soft and warm body could soothe one’s soul; he held him for a long time, unwilling to let go.
Dinner was sent over by the Ji family’s chef—a portion for two. Ji Shuohan felt bad watching Ye Zhile busy himself for him. He pulled Ye Zhile’s hand. “You should go back tonight. There are nurses here.”
“Why?” Ye Zhile sounded a bit aggrieved. Ji Shuohan coaxed him, “You won’t sleep well here. Go home to sleep and come back tomorrow. Besides, you’re doing this and that; the nurses are here for a reason.”
“But I only brought an over-bed table and opened the lunch boxes for you. I haven’t done much!” Ye Zhile had only done those two small things, but Ji Shuohan felt he had done a lot.
“You always like to sleep in the morning. The nurses will come for rounds here, so you won’t sleep well,” Ji Shuohan said.
“It doesn’t matter.” Ye Zhile dismissed it, then smiled. “I’ll just wait for the rounds to finish and then go back to sleep.”
“You’re quite clever then,” Ji Shuohan teased him.
Ye Zhile pursed his lips and sat on the sofa to eat. Suddenly, he remembered that Ji Shuohan could only eat liquid food. Although there was a spoon, accidental movements could cause pain.
Ji Shuohan’s wound was only one centimeter away from his heart. Fortunately… Ye Zhile felt a lingering fear and walked back to him. “I’ll feed you.”
Ji Shuohan tilted his head toward him. “Eat your own first. It’ll get cold.”
“Oh.” Ye Zhile obeyed and ate his own portion, though clearly at a faster pace. Fortunately, the porridge sent over was scalding, so it was just the right warm temperature now. Ye Zhile picked up the spoon to feed Ji Shuohan.
Ye Zhile blew on it to cool it down. “Try it and see if it’s too hot.”
“It’s just right,” Ji Shuohan said. Looking at Ye Zhile’s serious and cautious appearance, he found him simply too lovable.
“What are you smiling at?” Ye Zhile glared at him. Ji Shuohan said, “I just feel like smiling when I see you… I mean, I’m happy whenever I see you.”
