Chapter 220: Chapter 218: Ye Lei wakes up, Sisi’s scheme
Liu Sisi quickly wiped away her tears and pretended to smile, saying, “I know, I didn’t cry! I won’t cry, Ye Lei, what do you want to eat? I’ll go to the vegetarian canteen to buy it for you…”
“Is it daylight outside already?”
He suddenly asked an unrelated question.
“Don’t move! The sky is already bright, it’s between 3 and 5 pm now, I just brought back some cooked dishes from the vegetarian canteen. Because this Zen temple wing courtyard cannot kill living creatures, I specially went to buy some eggs and made steamed egg custard for you to eat when you wake up.”
Excited, Liu Sisi spoke and took out the warmed steamed egg custard. The Grandmaster had said, as long as Ye Lei wakes up, it means everything is fine.
“It is already… the afternoon.”
Di Yelei murmurs under his breath, struggling to try to sit up: “I can’t, I promised you yesterday that I would go home with you in the morning… Sisi, let’s go! Let’s go home…”
“Now? What home are you going back to now? Your injuries are so severe, and you are still messing around here, lie down quickly! Otherwise, I’ll really be mad.”
Liu Sisi hurriedly placed the steamed egg custard aside, extending her hand to hold him down: “You did say yesterday that you would go home with me, but the problem is I’m still here, so where are you going?”
While talking, she turned her back to pick up a bowl, quietly wiping away the tears that had accidentally fallen.
“Is… is that so?”
Di Yelei had no extra strength, so after struggling for a while, he fell into a deep sleep again.
He then slept for another two days.
During this time, he woke up a few times, and several Grandmasters came to change his medicine every day. Liu Sisi took advantage of the Grandmasters changing his medicine to hurriedly go to the vegetarian canteen for meals and cleaning, then quickly returned.
She got some wooden planks from the young monks, put them together, and covered them with bedding to make it easier for her to take care of him nearby.
On the third day, she didn’t know when she had fallen asleep, but when she opened her eyes, she saw a cheerful pair of eyes looking back at her, making her momentarily dazed.
“Ye Lei, are you awake? Are you thirsty for water, or do you want to get up to use the bathroom at night…”
She quickly sat up, searching for the water cup in a panic.
“Sisi, come here,” Di Yelei smiled and called her.
She couldn’t help but put down the cup and slowly approached him: “Ye Lei, you… um…”
As she got closer, he suddenly hugged her tightly, holding her firmly in his arms.
“It’s okay, you’re all right!”
He whispered to comfort her, his whole body shaking violently: “Sisi, I’m sorry, I didn’t do well, and I didn’t come soon enough, making you suffer. Sisi, why are you crying again? Good girl! Don’t cry, don’t cry…”
“Ye Lei… As long as you’re all right. This isn’t your fault. I know you didn’t mean for this to happen.”
The husband and wife embraced each other, having a good cry together.
Perhaps their hearts were lighter after having this conversation and venting their emotions, and the couple’s spirits were notably better. Liu Sisi’s tense mood also improved greatly.
In the afternoon, Zhang Peng finally found them.
Seeing Di Yelei lying in bed with his body wrapped in gauze, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“I thought you guys went to the county, so I didn’t pay much attention. I didn’t think you guys could be delayed in the county for a few days without returning. I never imagined that you guys were actually in the Zen temple courtyard. If it weren’t for hearing from a neighboring village that a person died in the temple, I wouldn’t have known you were here, let alone that you had an accident…”
Di Yelei also sighed, feeling wronged: “It’s nothing serious, just some external injuries, but Sisi insists that I don’t move at all, saying…”
“Shut up! Who was the one whose nose, mouth, and ears were bleeding? If it weren’t for the medicine that treats internal injuries, could you still be showing off here?”
