When Zhen Yan was talking Fu Yu down over the phone, Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue were in the ward, chatting away just as vigorously.
Yet, neither of them ntioned Fu Yu’s na at all!
It wasn’t intentional avoidance, they just didn’t want to ruin the New Year’s cheer.
After all, having been together for so many years, how could Han Mingyue not know who Zhen Yu liked or disliked!
So, regarding Fu Yu’s one-sided enthusiasm, Han Mingyue’s reaction was simple—just keep him away from Zhen Yu.
At that mont, Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue were actually discussing matters related to their online Hanfu store.
Since they hadn’t been ho, they couldn’t get online!
And because they couldn’t get online, there was no way to check if there were any new orders for the store.
Zhen Yu brought up the topic on her own to ease the awkwardness of Fu Yu’s call and also to vent to Han Mingyue.
She had barely started when Han Mingyue began to assure her not to worry, yet suddenly, the system’s voice echoed in her mind.
[You can go online anyti through ! I already told you! Once you have the system elf, you can connect anyti, anywhere!]
Zhen Yu: "..."
Oh, right! How did she forget about this about this guy who could sleep through an entire year!
"Then quickly help get online! I need to surf the net!" Zhen Yu imdiately responded in her mind.
[Which device do you want to connect? Hold it in your hand first.]
"Ugh..." Zhen Yu scratched her head.
Surfing the net on her computer in front of her brother and Han Mingyue would be too conspicuous! That big screen could easily give her away.
But if she used her phone... the old model she used couldn’t even access certain shopping sites!
It’s like fate was forcing her to change her phone! Unfortunately, she needed to find the right mont to take it out!
——
When Zhen Yan hung up the phone and returned, Han Mingyue and Zhen Yu had already finished eating and started freshening up.
By the ti he finished eating and tidied up, those two were already lying down.
It was clear they wanted him to take the night shift...
Right on New Year’s Eve, Zhen Yan had just finished eating and wasn’t sleepy! So he turned to computer gas to pass the ti.
It was past five in the morning when the nurse said the last IV was done, and only then did he wash his face, turn off the computer, and lie down.
The three of them slept until the morning of the first day of the New Year, the doctor’s visiting ti!
Even when the doctor and nurse walked into the ward, Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue woke up, but Zhen Yan was still sound asleep.
"Looks like you stayed up late last night!" The male doctor’s tone was gentle, probably because they all seed quite young.
"Co on! Let’s have the patient lift up their clothes so I can check the incision!"
"Oh, oh!"
Zhen Yu was still half-asleep, so she sat there dumbly, lifting her clothes a little.
"Ha! Lie down!" The doctor chuckled, "How can I examine you if you’re sitting up?"
"Oh, oh!" Zhen Yu quickly let go, and the sleeve fell back down.
After she slowly lay flat on the bed, she lifted her hem again halfway, revealing the area around her navel with the incision.
The doctor pressed gently a few tis before standing up, then asked several questions.
So questions were aid at her, others at the nurse behind him.
Probably because all the answers were normal, the male doctor nodded and finally announced, "Let Dr. Du remove her drainage tube after he starts work in the afternoon!"
"Okay, Director!"
——
The joy of finally hearing that the drainage tube could be removed energized Zhen Yu, who imdiately got up to freshen up after the doctors and nurses left!
Don’t ask her if she’s tired; if you do, the answer is she’s too excited!
Seeing the constant slight upward curve of her lips, Han Mingyue’s groggy mood from being woken up unexpectedly improved as well.
The two of them moved as quietly as possible to avoid disturbing Zhen Yan, who had stayed up late into the night.
They had just finished freshening up when the female nurse ca by with her cart, wearing her usual smile, to change Zhen Yu’s IV.
"Sis! How much longer do I have to keep getting these IVs? Do I have to do this all day and all night? My hand’s swollen..."
Zhen Yu was fed up with only having one hand free! She asked with a pout.
"You hadn’t been passing gas before, so you got more fluids," the nurse gently explained. "Now that you’re passing gas and can eat, today’s ds will be reduced! You should be done by seven or eight tonight, probably."
"And your needle! Let check it."
Zhen Yu obediently extended her hand.
"This needle can probably last another day! But if you feel uncomfortable, I’ll remove it and switch to your other hand!"
Zhen Yu thought for a mont, "How many more days do I have to get these IVs? How long can this needle last?"
"Needles usually stay in for three days! But how many days you need, I don’t know. You’ll have to check with the doctor about discharge."
Zhen Yu: "...Better switch hands now then!"
——
The needle in her other hand had just been placed when Han Mingyue said, "I’ll go check if there’s any breakfast left in the hospital cafeteria! If not, I’ll co back and heat up congee for you. Zhen Yan and I can manage with so snacks."
"Sure! You go ahead!"
Zhen Yu readily agreed since she had nothing pressing and had already visited the bathroom that morning, needing no company!
So Han Mingyue grabbed his down jacket and left.
Just as he stepped out, Zhen Yu’s phone rang!
Han Mingyue’s hand paused on the door, but after a mont, he closed it anyway.
He figured, even if it were a call from Fu Yu again, he wasn’t worried, and Zhen Yu wouldn’t be either.
It’s just a minor inconvenience for her! If he were there to help, he’d handle it for her.
But since he was heading out, he’d trust her to handle it herself.
Isn’t mutual trust the most important thing in a relationship!
And Zhen Yu, sitting on the hospital bed, indeed lived up to Han Mingyue’s trust!
Upon seeing ’Bai Xue’ on the caller ID, her first instinct was to hang up!
Only then did she text, "Didn’t you say you’d call tomorrow?"
Bai Xue replied instantly!
"What do you an? I said tomorrow as in yesterday! Which ans today! Call back now!"
Zhen Yu pouted, confirming it was her!
Then she pressed the call button.
"What’s going on?! Why do you act so sneaky answering my calls?"
Bai Xue started off interrogating! Clearly, Zhen Yu’s earlier dodgy moves had thrown her off.
