After confirming that all physical values had returned to normal levels, Luo Lingsheng finally returned to the original VIP ward.
Shi Yunnan sat on the edge of the bed and peeled the skin of an apple into a long strip with a fruit knife.
Little Goldfish watched in awe from the side, holding his breath and not daring to move, for fear that his small breath would affect Shi Yunnan’s performance, making him unable to cut to the top in one go.
Seeing the child’s face turning red, Shi Yunnan had to speed up his hand until the intact apple skin fell into the trash can.
“Pheww.”
Little Goldfish took two breaths of fresh air, then clapped his little hands until they were red again, “Wow~ Little Uncle is amazing! This apple must be very sweet!“
Seeing his cute appearance, Shi Yunnan couldn’t help but smile at Luo Lingsheng on the bed.
“Little clever ghost, you’re just greedy for your uncle’s apple, aren’t you?” he said as he cut a small slice of apple and handed it over.
Little Goldfish happily took the apple slice and said, “That’s not true.”
Seeing Shi Yunnan occupy the bedside position, he hurriedly ran to the other side of the bed and shoved the apple he got into Luo Lingsheng’s mouth, “Uncle! Ah—”
Luo Lingsheng smiled and couldn’t bear to disappoint his nephew’s good intentions.
He opened his mouth and ate the crispy and sweet apple in one bite.
“Uncle, Is it delicious?“
Little Goldfish gulped as his round eyes stared hard at Luo Lingsheng. He was indeed a little greedy.
Seeing this, Shi Yunnan divided the remaining apple into two.
“Baby, this is for you.”
Seeing that everyone had a share, Little Goldfish immediately ran back to take it, climbed onto his small stool and nibbled it contentedly.
Not long after, the medical staff came to examine Luo Lingsheng’s surgical wound and change the dressing.
Shi Yunnan looked at Luo Lingsheng’s legs with a little nervousness, “How is the situation?”
“It seems to be recovering well.” Dr. Bence replied, and asked Luo Lingsheng how he felt, “Mr. Luo, how do you feel?”
“It’s numb and painful.”
A simple sentence could be considered the best response to successful surgery.
Compared with the previous senseless state, the existing pain has indeed been long gone. Luo Lingsheng had gone through “a mountain of swords and a sea of flames,” so naturally he could endure this momentary pain.
“The post-operative rehabilitation arrangement will be adjusted at any time according to your physical condition, but we must ensure that the wound is completely healed before it can be implemented.”
Dr. Bence was a frank person, so his words sounded somewhat rational and cold.
“Mr. Luo, the success of this operation is only the first step. It does not mean a 100% recovery rate. You still have to keep a normal mindset and never hold too much hope.”
‘Lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Luo Lingsheng nodded, “I understand.”
After the medical staff finished their work, they all left the room.
Luo Lingsheng took the initiative to seek Shi Yunnan’s help, saying, “Yunnan, help me sit up a bit.”
Shi Yunnan picked up the wet towel to wipe his hands, and immediately helped him adjust his sitting position carefully.
The two were very close together, and their breaths were occasionally intertwined, which indescribably aroused one’s excitement.
On the side, Little Goldfish secretly looked at Luo Lingsheng’s legs. In the few memories he had, Luo Lingsheng had never stood or walked like them.
“Uncle.”
Little Goldfish leaned closer.
Shi Yunnan was drawn to his attention by Little Goldfish “What’s wrong?”
Little Goldfish was on the verge of tears when he approached them, “When can Uncle be discharged from the hospital? Uncle just said that his leg hurts… wuwuwu…“
He was still young and only thought that being sick and hospitalized was a very serious matter.
He hadn’t felt it before, but when he heard Luo Lingsheng and the doctor mention the word “pain,” he became distressed.
Little Goldfish liked Shi Yunnan very much, but Luo Lingsheng was the closest relative and elder who had accompanied him since childhood.
“Look, you said Little Goldfish usually sticks to me?” Shi Yunnan said as he carried Little Goldfish to the bedside and sat down, his face full of helplessness. “As soon as you say it hurts, this little guy is so distressed that he’s in tears.”
Hearing this, Luo Lingsheng felt a burst of gratification and helplessness at the same time.
Back then, the fourth house of the Luo family suffered a sudden disaster, and apart from Luo Lingsheng, only Luo Jinyu, who was still in his infancy, was left.
All along, Luo Lingsheng has been acting as an “uncle” with the heart of a “father.” Now that he and Shi Yunnan had gotten together, their future was doomed with no biological children.
Although the law on same-sex marriage was passed and allowed the two men to go to an orphanage to adopt the unwanted babies, Luo Lingsheng didn’t have this idea from the beginning—
Little Goldfish had always been well-behaved and sensible, and occasionally a little sharp-witted.
But Luo Lingsheng, who was his uncle, knew that Little Goldfish was more sensitive than children of the same age, and any trivial matter could make him uneasy for a long time.
What they could do as elders was to provide as much security as possible for the growth of Little Goldfish.
Luo Lingsheng held Little Goldfish closer to himself and wiped his little nephew’s teary eyes with rare tenderness and initiative, “Jinyu, uncle is fine and will be discharged from the hospital after a while.”
Little Goldfish sniffed, “Really?”
Shi Yunnan pinched his little milk-fat cheek, “Really, little uncle can testify.”
He glanced at Luo Lingsheng and decisively made a promise in front of the child, “Perhaps after being discharged from the hospital this time, your uncle can take you to ride a big horse.”
Ride a big horse?
“What?”
“Little Uncle, I can only ride a pony now.”
Luo Lingsheng and Little Goldfish both didn’t react.
Shi Yunnan saw the eyes of this big and small person, and could not help but shake his head.
In the childhood of this pair of uncle and nephew, do they only know money-burning hobbies such as equestrianism and shooting? The so-called “riding a big horse” was when children sat on the shoulders of their elders and strolled around.
Although Shi Sheng was a scumbag back then, Shi Yunnan still enjoyed such childhood fun.
“Little uncle.”
Children’s emotions came and went quickly. After a short while, the tears disappeared completely.
Seeing that he was stuck between Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng without any room to move away, Little Goldfish held back and finally blushed slightly, “Little uncle.”
Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng looked at each other in silence and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Go to the toilet by yourself, and wipe your butt clean ah,” Shi Yunnan said, setting Little Goldfish down.
Seeing that the two uncles were laughing at him, Little Goldfish immediately flushed from cheeks to neck, and hastily ran away in a long drawn out voice, “—ahhh!”
The toilet door at the corner was closed.
Shi Yunnan pulled the chair closer to Luo Lingsheng and confirmed again, “Do you really feel your legs? It hurts?“
Luo Lingsheng didn’t hide it from him, “Fortunately, it was there as soon as the post-operative anesthesia passed.”
At first, it was vague numbness, and then there was pain in the numbness, and now the pain was clear and unmistakable.
Shi Yunnan sighed, “Is it a good thing?”
Luo Lingsheng nodded, “Of course.”
Shi Yunan glanced at his leg again, “If the pain is unbearable, let the doctor give you another injection to relieve the pain, ok?”
“No, this pain is nothing to me. I don’t want to cause more complications by using drugs.“
Luo Lingsheng’s heartstrings, which had been tense for many years, finally loosened, “It’s been a long time since it hurt. It’s good to feel it.”
Shi Yunnan curled his lips and did not refute his lover’s intention.
The two looked at each other silently.
Shi Yunnan seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked again, “You really don’t need painkillers?”
“No……“
Luo Lingsheng was about to refuse when he clearly distinguished the subtle smile under Shi Yunnan’s eyes.
He turned slightly to his side and asked with interest, “Pain relief injections and painkillers are not needed. Does Doctor Shi have any other tricks?“
Seeing that the bathroom door had not opened yet, Shi Yunnan put away his serious appearance that he used in front of the child.
With his hands on the edge of the bed, he slowly leaned over, shortening the distance between the two of them.
Shi Yunnan rubbed the tip of Luo Lingsheng’s nose intimately, full of provocation, “Mr. Luo, I will give you a free trial of kissing pain reliever therapy? What do you think… um…”
The rest of his voice fell on Luo Lingsheng’s active bullying kiss.
At the moment when their breaths collided, the emotional impulse that the two had restrained for a long time because of the surgery broke out.
Luo Lingsheng clasped the back of Shi Yunnan’s head with one hand, giving his lover no chance of escaping the kiss.
The nimble tip of the tongue probed into the lips, licking and sucking any territory that could be invaded.
The tingling sensation was accompanied by the burning and mingling of breath, and the ambiguous whimpering sound echoed in their ears.
Shi Yunnan’s arm resting on the edge of the bed was inexplicably exhausted from the kiss, and then he fell into Luo Lingsheng’s embrace.
He raised his head to withdraw. A wisp of sanity and sobriety remained under his gradually disoriented eyes, “Wait …… your leg ……”
“It’s okay. It’s out of reach.“
Luo Lingsheng rubbed Shi Yunnan’s watery lips over and over again with his finger, giving him a little time to respond in a rare and kind manner, “Doctor Shi, your pain relief therapy has just started.”
Luo Lingsheng’s lust-stained voice was too low and charming, causing Shi Yunnan’s cheeks to rise with excessive heat, “Little Goldfish is still in the bathroom.”
“I won’t let him see what he shouldn’t see.”
Luo Lingsheng gave an explanation and once again seized the warm lips.
Shi Yunnan was afraid of being caught by Little Goldfish, but he was also uncontrollably stimulated by his lover, “Um…”
Time slowly dragged on, until it was no longer possible to ignore the physiological reactions of the two. Luo Lingsheng suddenly took Shi Yunnan out of the whirlpool of this uncontrollable kiss.
He wrapped his hands around his lover’s waist from top to bottom, struggling to take two deep breaths before giving his evaluation, “Doctor Shi’s pain relief therapy is very good. I will seek you out again in the future.“
Shi Yunnan suddenly felt that he had dug a huge hole for himself. He hadn’t fully recovered but didn’t want to give in and grunted, “When your leg gets better, you won’t be able to enjoy this pain relief therapy.”
Luo Lingsheng gave him a light chuckle and couldn’t resist biting the other party’s lips, “When my leg is well, we’ll have to do more than that.”
“…..”
Shi Yunnan was half a beat slower to react.
He felt Luo Lingsheng’s increasing strength on his waist, and inexplicably felt a soreness in his waist and abdomen. A certain part of his body also tensed up.
The two were so engrossed in the warmth of the kiss that they momentarily forgot about their little nephew, who was still in the bathroom.
At this moment, Little Goldfish who had already finished his stinky business and tidied up everything, was lying on the door of the bathroom, pricked up his ears and listened to the movement outside, his expression was tangled like never before—
Are Uncle and Little Uncle smooching?
If he goes out now, what if Little Uncle gets embarrassed again?
Hey, this is tough!
…
Little Goldfish stayed in the bathroom for another ten minutes.
It wasn’t until Shi Yunnan realized the time wasn’t right that he nervously knocked on the door and called him out.
At the same time, the nutritious meals and dinner prepared by the medical center were delivered together.
It was getting dark in the evening, and the scorching sunset happened to be stuck between their windows.
Shi Yunnan fumbled for his cell phone, subconsciously trying to capture this beautiful moment, only to find out that his phone ran out of battery at some point.
“You eat first. I’ll recharge my phone.”
Shi Yunnan got up from his position and walked to the electrical outlet on the other side.
The phone that was connected to the power supply quickly returned to normal. Shi Yunnan remembered his work and clicked on his WeChat to check it.
Unexpectedly, after a brief lag, the WeChat interface quickly popped up with dozens of messages from Wen Yibei, whose name was pinned to the top.
There were voice messages and missed calls.
The most recent unanswered call was six minutes ago.
Shi Yunnan converted the time here to domestic time and subtly realized that something was wrong, so he dialed Wen Yibei’s WeChat number without saying a word.
After a short wait of less than three seconds, the other end of the WeChat call was answered by Wen Yibei, “Hello, Yunnan?”
Shi Yunnan heard Wen Yibei’s urgency, and asked straight away, “Brother, what’s wrong?”
Wen Yibei recognized his own brother’s voice, and his tone, which had always been warm, suddenly brought about seriousness and anxiety.
