Chapter 28 Let's get married when my dad wakes up.
Jiang Jianping was observed in the ICU for three days, and his vital signs were completely stable. He was then transferred to a regular VIP ward.
Although he hasn't woken up yet, his complexion is getting better day by day, his muscles are no longer atrophying, and his fingers even twitch occasionally, which amazes Director Li.
He said this was the most incredible medical miracle he had ever seen in his thirty years of medical practice.
The doctors and nurses in the hospital all regarded Shen Yu as a living god. Every time he came to the hospital, they would surround him and ask him questions, and their attitude was extremely enthusiastic.
That day, after Shen Yu finished administering acupuncture to Jiang Jianping and left the ward, Jiang Xinlan noticed that his expression was a little off. Her heart tightened, and she quickly and cautiously asked:
"Shen Yu, what's wrong? It's my dad's condition... Is something wrong?"
These past few days, she's been watching her father's condition improve, and she feels both happy and anxious.
We both hoped he would wake up soon, yet feared that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Seeing that Shen Yu's expression was off, she was very worried that something might have happened to her father.
Shen Yu pulled her to sit down on a bench in the corridor and spoke to her earnestly:
"Xinlan, Uncle's bodily functions have almost recovered. The reason he hasn't woken up yet isn't a physical problem. It's because his three souls and seven spirits haven't fully returned to their places, and his soul and body aren't in harmony."
"My acupuncture these past few days has only stabilized his body, but it hasn't been able to bring his departed soul back to its place yet. If Uncle is to fully recover, I must refine a Nine-Turn Awakening Pill."
A glint of light flashed in Jiang Xinlan's eyes as she looked at Shen Yu expectantly.
"Really? The Nine-Turn Awakening Pill? What do you need for it? Is it hard to find?"
Shen Yu chuckled softly and ruffled her hair.
"It's not too difficult to find them. Most of the basic auxiliary ingredients in the formula are rare medicinal materials such as century-old wild ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and Tian Shan snow lotus. I will ask Elder Lu to help me connect with medicinal material merchants across the country. We should be able to gather them within three days."
"What we really need to put some effort into finding are the four core ingredients; if even one of them is missing, the pill cannot be refined."
"We need a 300-year-old earth spirit Solomon's seal, a thousand-year-old pure yang lightning-struck jujube wood heart, a top-grade Hetian jade seed, and a meteorite iron core from outer space."
"Aren't these four core ingredients too difficult to obtain...?"
Jiang Xinlan was very worried. The rare medicinal herbs in the former were fine, at least they could be bought on the market, but she had never even heard of the latter.
"No, Shen Yu, I can't be a burden to you..."
Seeing the concern in Jiang Xinlan's eyes, Shen Yu's heart softened and burned. He suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"Don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by being a burden? This is difficult for ordinary people, but it's not difficult for me. You have to believe me."
"Jiangcheng has the largest antique market in the entire Central China region. It's a mixed bag, but it also hides many genuine treasures that have been overlooked. Let's go there and try our luck."
"It would be best if we could find some leftover materials. Even if we can't gather all the materials, we can find someone knowledgeable to inquire about the whereabouts of the remaining materials. Don't worry."
Jiang Xinlan was slightly taken aback. The clean and refreshing scent of him lingered around her nose, and she could hear his steady and powerful heartbeat. Her nerves, which had been tense for so long, completely relaxed at this moment.
She gently raised her hand and wrapped it around Shen Yu's waist, pressing her face against his chest, her voice muffled, carrying a hint of barely perceptible dependence:
"Shen Yu, thank you. With you here, I feel at ease."
"No need to thank me." Shen Yu raised his hand and stroked her hair.
"Your father is my future father-in-law, and you are the person I cherish most. These are things I should do."
Shen Yu's words struck Jiang Xinlan's heart like a hammer blow, soothing all the unease she had hidden deep inside.
Jiang Xinlan looked up at his face, which was so close to hers, and her eyes shone with an astonishing light.
As if guided by some unseen force, she tiptoed and gently kissed the corner of his lips.
The soft lips touched briefly and then parted, yet it felt like an electric current, instantly coursing through Shen Yu's entire body.
A fire instantly ignited in Shen Yu's eyes. He tightened his grip on her arm and lowered his head to capture her lips.
Jiang Xinlan closed her eyes, tightening her grip on his waist without the slightest resistance.
When the kiss ended, Shen Yu pressed his forehead against hers, his breathing slightly rapid, his eyes filled with an intense, unyielding affection.
Jiang Xinlan's ears turned red, but she didn't flinch. Looking into his eyes, she spoke each word with unwavering determination:
"Shen Yu, I believe you. Let's get married when my dad wakes up."
This is her heartfelt thought.
Since Shen Yu appeared, she has never encountered any difficulties. No matter what happens, Shen Yu is always there to protect her.
These past few months have been the happiest and most peaceful days of her life in the last six years.
Especially now, with her father critically ill, Shen Yu's willingness to step forward has deeply moved her.
The Nine-Turn Awakening Pill sounds extraordinary. Not to mention how rare the required materials are, the process of refining it must be extremely complicated and arduous.
Shen Yu went to such lengths for her, how could she not be moved?
Moreover, it would be a lie to say that she had no feelings for Shen Yu and only resentment over the past six years.
Back in school, she had a secret crush on Shen Yu. That night, she mustered up the courage to help him back to his rented room because she wanted to confess her feelings to him.
They never expected that, after drinking too much, they would end up doing that kind of thing without being able to control themselves.
Afterwards, when Shen Yu disappeared without a trace and she found out she was pregnant, she insisted on giving birth to the child. Besides not being able to bear giving up two little lives, there were also feelings for Shen Yu involved.
This is, after all, her and Shen Yu's child.
She loved Shen Yu, and she also loved the bloodline they had together.
That's why, after giving birth, she not only named her two children with the surname Shen, but also imbued their names with her longing for Shen Yu.
However, in the past six years, she has suffered too much and experienced too many things. Her resentment towards Shen Yu has gradually overshadowed her love.
But after Shen Yu returned, all the things he did made her resentment towards him gradually dissipate without her realizing it.
As hatred dissipates, the hidden love also surfacees uncontrollably.
Or, let bygones be bygones.
Now that Shen Yu is back, life is too short, so we should cherish the days we can spend together.
Shen Yu was overjoyed when Jiang Xinlan mentioned marriage.
Xinlan was willing to marry him, which meant that she had completely forgiven him and that she still loved him after all these six years.
That's great, that's really great!
Shen Yu chuckled softly and planted a solemn kiss on the top of her head, his tone filled with an unwavering certainty:
"Okay, let's get married! Xinlan, don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to wake your father up, and then marry you in style!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
Jiang Xinlan closed her eyes happily, leaning against him, as if she possessed the whole world.
