“No wonder his complexion looked off afterward,” Zhang Dagou furrowed his brows.
After a brief discussion, everyone’s admiration for Xiao Han was even more evident. Lan Yudie, who was listening on the side, became even more tearful. She hadn’t expected that Xiao Han, despite such a severe injury, had persisted for so long and even defeated a powerful opponent.
“Don’t worry, medical science is so advanced these days, Xiao Han will definitely be fine,” Liu Bin quickly reassured Lan Yudie.
“Mhm,” Lan Yudie nodded.
Although Lan Yudie was now Xiao Han’s girlfriend, Liu Bin still harbored feelings for her, so he didn’t want to see her upset or crying.
The red light at the operating room door was on, indicating that the surgery was still in progress.
The surgery lasted from 9:30 pm until 11:30 pm. A full three hours.
Tick-tock...
Suddenly, the red light at the door turned green, the operating room door opened, and two doctors came out. Lan Yudie jumped up almost reflexively and quickly went over, hurrying to ask, “Doctor, how is he?”
“He’s fine now,” the doctor smiled and said, “The third rib on the right chest is broken, the broken bone pierced the lung tissue, but there was no major bleeding, and the pulmonary artery wasn’t hit. So, there’s no significant trouble now, and he’ll recover after some rest.”
“Thank God, that’s wonderful!” Lan Yudie exclaimed excitedly.
Zhang Dagou and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, the operating room assistants wheeled Xiao Han out. Because the anesthetic hadn’t worn off yet, Xiao Han was still unconscious. His eyes were tightly closed, and his face was pale. However, that still couldn’t hide his handsome features.
Xiao Han was temporarily moved to the intensive care unit for observation. If there were no complications within twenty-four hours, he could be transferred to a regular ward.
“Teacher Lan, let’s go back for now,” Zhang Feng spoke up, “Xiao Han will be cared for by nurses, with twenty-four-hour monitoring.”
“You guys go back. I’ll stay here with him,” Lan Yudie shook her head, adding, “I’m afraid he would be lonely when he wakes up alone.”
“He probably won’t wake up that soon,” Zhang Feng said, “He’ll at least wake up by tomorrow morning.”
Lan Yudie thought for a moment, then nodded, “I’ll come back tomorrow morning then.”
“Okay!” everyone agreed.
......
Da Fuhao Entertainment Club.
The scene was somewhat desolate. The gamblers had all left, each having experienced severe losses. Xiao Han had secured the final victory. Most of these gamblers had bet on King Kong. Some wagered that King Kong would take care of Xiao Han within five minutes, others within ten minutes.
But no one expected that King Kong would be defeated by Xiao Han.
“Hmph, there must be some foul play!”
“I think so too, Liu Sandao is too shameless in making money now.”
“Let’s go, the excitement is over, it’s time to leave. Although a million was spent on the show, it was worth it.”
“Xiao Yu, you’re here?” Xiao Han called out eagerly.
Liu Sisi turned her head and was momentarily stunned by the sight of Lan Yudie, a flash of envy in her eyes. The girl before her was very pretty—though without makeup, she still radiated an amazing beauty. Lan Yudie curiously asked, “Xiao Han, who is this...?”
“Oh, this is Liu Sisi, a friend of mine,” Xiao Han explained with a smile, before addressing Liu Sisi, “Sisi, she is my... girlfriend!”
“Xiao Han, your girlfriend is really beautiful!” Liu Sisi said with a smile, her eyes betraying an undeniable sense of loss.
“Heh heh...” Xiao Han chuckled.
Seeing Xiao Han introduce her in such a way, Lan Yudie felt a weight lift off her heart and said, “Sisi, thank you for coming to see my Xiao Han so early in the morning.”
“No problem!” Liu Sisi shook her head, “I also got the news early this morning, so I came.”
“How did you find out?” Lan Yudie asked curiously.
“My family runs a clinic. I know most of the doctors and nurses in the hospital,” Liu Sisi replied with a smile. “Doctor Zhang mentioned the emergency surgery yesterday, so I asked about it.”
“Oh!” Lan Yudie nodded, “So you are a...?”
“I’m a nurse!” Liu Sisi said with a smile.
The two women chatted, leaving Xiao Han feeling a bit neglected.
After a short while, Liu Sisi stood up to leave. As soon as Liu Sisi was gone, Lan Yudie pinched Xiao Han’s nose, “Flirting with other girls!”
“I...I didn’t!” Xiao Han protested.
“Didn’t you?!” Lan Yudie glared at him, “Didn’t you notice Sisi has feelings for you? Humph, tell me, when did you start leading her on!”
“I haven’t, really!” Xiao Han said helplessly, “What Sisi and I have is very pure, not what you’re thinking.”
“So you mean to say I’m not pure?” Lan Yudie said with a cold laugh.
“No, no, no!” Xiao Han hurriedly shook his head, “It’s me who’s impure.”
“Hmph!” Lan Yudie, holding the wontons, asked, “Are you full already? If you’re full, I’ll just throw these wontons away.”
“No, I’m still hungry!” Xiao Han quickly said.
“You know what’s good for you!” Lan Yudie giggled, “Here, open up, I’ll feed you.”
Xiao Han obediently opened his mouth, waiting for Lan Yudie to feed him.
The two of them shamelessly displayed their affection in the hospital ward. After all, they weren’t at school, so they didn’t have to worry about the school’s disciplinary actions or attracting strange looks from others. Xiao Han felt like the luckiest man in the world to have Lan Yudie at his side—it was already a great joy, and being fed by her made him blissfully happy beyond words.
Just as they were enjoying their moment, several of Xiao Han’s dorm mates bustled in with wontons of their own.
“Yo, someone’s almost had their fill, huh?” Liu Bin said sourly upon seeing them.
