Chapter 900: Chapter 901: Leaving with Hands Clasped Behind His Back

Shi Feng left with his hands behind his back, and Li Tingyan kept staring at the intensive care unit.

Nianyang was lying there quietly, giving him a sense of peace.

Warm tears welled up in Li Tingyan’s eyes. He leaned forward lightly and,隔着玻璃窗, landed a gentle kiss.

Nini, hurry up and wake up.

Wake up and look at this bad old geezer of yours.

I’m so awful, I hurt you—how can you not get better and beat me up for it?

No matter how mad you are at me, I’ll take it all without complaint. I’ll be your servant, you can torment me however you want!

Didn’t we say we were getting married this time?

We’ve both waited far, far too long for this day.

This time I swear, I will never leave you again. I’m going to hold up a whole magnificent world for you.

Aren’t you the one who always pays people back tenfold? You’ve suffered such a huge loss this time—how can you bear not to get up and watch the enemies who hurt you get caught?

Don’t worry, I won’t let a single one of those who hurt you off the hook.

Li Tingyan kept his eyes open, waiting until dawn. Once the Chu Family had rested, they all rushed over too, waiting for the Doctor’s update.

"Congratulations, congratulations. The patient is out of danger and can be transferred to a regular ward!"

Hearing this, everyone finally let out a long breath.

The Chu Family burst into tears of excitement, and Li Tingyan’s eyes turned even redder. He’d known it—Nini wouldn’t leave him.

Because the patient had just pulled through and was still very weak, it wasn’t suitable to have too many people in the room. After some discussion, they decided to leave only Li Tingyan in the ward to keep watch.

The reason was simple: it really had been Li Tingyan who called Nianyang back. Even though the Chu Family was very displeased, if this could help Nianyang wake up sooner, it was the best option.

With no one else disturbing them, Li Tingyan stayed in the ward, enjoying their little world of two with Nianyang. These past two days, searching for her, he basically hadn’t rested at all.

He’d stayed up all last night as well, and his nerves had been strung tight with worry for her. Now that he knew Nianyang was out of danger, his whole body finally relaxed.

Leaning over the bedside, gripping Nianyang’s small hand, he fell into a deep sleep.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight streamed in through the window. Li Tingyan slowly opened his eyes, and his first instinct was to look at Nianyang. The swelling on the girl’s face had already gone down. Her skin was a sickly pale, but it didn’t affect her beauty at all—if anything, it made her look even more fragile and pitiful.

Li Tingyan just gazed deeply at his little girl for a long, long time, then finally lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead before going to the bathroom next to them to wash up.

In the mirror, the man’s hair was a mess, his beard was unshaven, and his eyes were bloodshot—he looked utterly haggard.

He’d been so worried about Nianyang these past two days that he hadn’t bothered to take care of himself.

"How can I look this ugly?" Li Tingyan tugged faintly at the corner of his lips and said in a dejected tone, "I just hope Nini won’t despise me..."

With that, he quickly finished washing up and stepped out.

And then he saw that Nianyang, who should have been lying in bed, had somehow already sat up at some point. She was staring blankly out the window, and Li Tingyan’s whole body trembled on the spot.

"Nini, you’re awake!"

The man lunged forward in excitement, pulling Nianyang tightly into his arms and kissing her short hair with trembling lips.

"This is great, this is so great, you’re awake, you’re finally okay. I was worried sick about you, do you know that?"

"..."

Nianyang didn’t say anything. She just sat there quietly, letting Li Tingyan hold her, not even lifting her delicate eyebrows.
