Chapter 733: Meeting in Another World (2/2)

“Older Sister, Older Sister! Can you see me ah? I’m Xiaochan ah, your younger sister, Xiaochan...Older Brother, do you think Older Sister might have amnesia from hitting her head?” Lin Xiaochan suddenly had a thought hit her and asked the question that came up.

Lin Xiaochan? Her previous life’s younger sister? Following the sound of the voice, she looked at a somewhat strange but also familiar face. As expected, she had come back to the modern world. In this world, she was only an owner of a small braised-food shop who struggled to survive on a daily basis.

Earlier she had just been chatting with her prince about whether or not he was here in her world and now she suddenly came back. Did this world have the man who had loved her for a lifetime or not? The answer wasn’t clear. Even if he was here, in the millions of people in the world, she might not be able to ever encounter him.

“Older Sister, you’ve been in a coma for more than a hundred days. I was really afraid you’d become a vegetable and never wake up again. Older Sister, you need to take care of yourself and enjoy your younger siblings’ efforts. You can’t have anything happen to you again!” Lin Xiaochan’s eyes had turned wet as she choked out her words.

“Little Jun’s wedding ceremony, was it ruined because of me?” Yu Xiaocao...no, now she was Lin Xiaowan. She came back to the present and asked in a faint voice.

Lin Xiaochan laughed despite her tears and said, “Older Sister, you haven’t forgotten everything ah! That’s wonderful! I was still thinking that if you had amnesia, just what should I do to jolt your memory back. Older Sister, don’t worry, Little Jun had already sent most of the guests off...Older Sister, you really scared me to death this time!”

“In the future...that won’t happen again.” Lin Xiaowan felt extremely distracted. The hundred years she had in that other life seemed to have passed like a dream. However, who could explain why she returned back to this world?

The little divine stone, who had already gone back to its world, had an inscrutable smile on its face, ‘Goodbye, my master. I hope you like the present I sent you.’

“Older Sister, you don’t seem completely like yourself.” Lin Xiaochan helped her drink some water from a cup. She hesitated for a moment before continuing, “It seems like every movement you make is filled with elegance and grace, I don’t know how to describe it…”

“Perhaps I was in a coma for too long, so I’m still a bit mixed up!” Lin Xiaowan quietly said.

“Your tone and intonation are also different. It’s kind of like you’re speaking each word very clearly. Older Sister, do you think another soul from a different world has transmigrated into your body like those storybooks?” Lin Xiaochan liked to read transmigration novels and joked.

Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes and rebuked, “Did you read too many novels ah? Do you want to hear the story of when you wet the bed again…”

“No, no! You’re my older sister, my true older sister, okay?” Lin Xiaochan raised two hands up in surrender.

“Older Sister, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Lin Qijun came in with a few white coat doctors. When he saw his sisters talking to each other, he hurriedly asked to inquire after her condition.

“No, just a…” She suddenly stopped. Lin Qijun and Lin Xiaochan became nervous all of a sudden, “Just a bit hungry. I want to eat roast duck, red braised pork, and braised pig trotters!”

In her previous life, because she and her husband were getting old in age, their stomachs had also become weaker. Thus, there were many oily foods that they were not allowed to eat anymore. The couple, who were unhappy if they had to eat a meal without meat, were so starved of these goodies that they even thought of running to the kitchen to eat some secretly.

The doctor next to Li Qijun laughed, “Having an appetite is a good thing. That means the body is recovering. However, with your current condition, you need to eat some bland foods first.”

“What? I still need to eat bland foods?” She had a bit of arrogance and temper after being spoiled for a hundred years. This time, her voice had a hint of all of that.

Within the group of doctors, there was a particularly tall and imposing looking man. Above his surgical mask was a pair of handsome eyes and they looked at Lin Xiaowan with a complicated expression in them. There was a bit of disbelief in them as well as some hope…

“This doctor is an expert who was invited over from the capital’s best hospital. He’s studied abroad and is an expert in neurology in the country. Have him take a look at you ah.” He wasn’t sure why this particular expert was interested in such an ordinary case of someone going into a coma because of a head injury. However, since the man had opined his desire to see the case, what was wrong with allowing him to do so?

Lin Qijun immediately stepped to the side. After going through a series of inspections, the result was that the last bit of blood in Lin Xiaowan’s head had already been absorbed, leading to decreased intracranial pressure. Perhaps that was what allowed her to wake up now.

During his inspection, that expert from the capital paid attention to the patient’s every word and movement. However, he did it in a relatively secretive manner, so no one else noticed it.

“She needs to stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation before she can be discharged!” The expert from the capital told this to the patient’s family members.

Lin Xiaowan quietly muttered, “I think I could leave the hospital now.”

“Older Sister, we should listen to the doctor. After all, he’s an expert in this field. The remaining blood in your head isn’t completely gone, so there’s nothing wrong with staying a few more days. I know you’re worried about the money issue. Don’t worry, I’ll pay for everything here!” Lin Xiaochan had married well and her husband treated her well. Thus, the money for the hospital stay wasn’t considered too much for her. That being said, didn’t she also have the rural county’s insurance to help too?

The tall expert looked at Lin Xiaowan with a bit of tenderness. Was it her ah? For the sake of her younger siblings, she had worked hard for more than a decade. At the age of thirty, she still hadn’t married. When attending her younger brother’s wedding, she accidentally fell down the stairs. All of these seemed to match up...was it her?

He had taken the Xu City’s People Hospital’s invitation to come over to consult on a few hard cases. If it weren’t for the fact that he came across Lin Xiaowan’s circumstances by pure coincidence, he would have long gone back to the capital. Unfortunately, Xiaocao didn’t give him a lot of details when she talked about her previous life. If he knew that he’d be able to arrive into her world, he would have asked more details.

He observed her for a bit longer and felt like her movements and speech were quite similar. However, if he tried to be presumptuous and his hunch was wrong, she might think of him as a pervert and end up beating him. Naturally, there were very few people who could beat him at boxing in this world.

Lin Xiaowan spent another two days at the hospital eating bland food before she finally complained and threatened to leave against medical advice. Furthermore, she also threatened her siblings that if they didn't help her process the discharge now, she’d escape on her own! This type of willful manner was something she never dared to show in the past.

Helpless from her demands, Lin Qijun could only start the discharge process for her. Lin Xiaowan changed out of the hospital gown and began to happily stroll around the hospital wards.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar face pass by——a handsome visage, long and narrow phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips…

“Zhu Junyang!!” She couldn’t help but blurt out the name and it echoed through the hospital corridor. Her voice was very excited and loud. Even the other people in the hallway looked over at her.

However, the person who looked about eighty percent similar to her Imperial Prince Xu didn’t look over. Lin Xiaowan ran over and continued to yell, “Zhu Junyang, is that you ah?”

The person finally stopped walking and a burst of happiness exploded in Lin Xiaowan’s heart. However, when that person looked at her he only glanced at her coldly as he asked, “Are you calling me ah? I’m sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else. My name isn’t Zhu Junyang!”

It wasn’t him, it wasn’t him! Her prince would never look at her so coldly. Her prince would never speak to her in such a way. That man only looked like him. Lin Xiaowan felt a pang go through her heart and it hurt so much that she almost couldn’t breathe. Was her Imperial Prince Xu truly just a dream?

“Are you an idiot? Do you only recognize that face ah?” His deep melodious voice held a bit of familiar love and tenderness.

Lin Xiaowan suddenly turned around and looked at that tall and lofty figure that had eyes full of love. It was an incredibly familiar sight to her.

“Zhu Junyang?” Lin Xiaowan’s voice was full of hesitation. Wasn’t the man in front of her that authority in neurology ah? Her awesome prince had actually gone into medicine?

She looked at him again. He had a manly figure, a sculpted face, and his dark eyes glittered with friendliness. The smile at the corner of his mouth still held some stunning beauty. Even when he was just standing casually, he still had an imposing and noble aura around him. Her prince was still such a stunning and handsome man!

“Silly goose, what are you spacing out for? Why aren’t you running to this prince’s arms?” Zhu Junyang opened his arms and had an alluring smile on his face that people couldn’t look away from.

Lin Xiaowan wiped the tears from her eyes and twisted her head away in a coquettish manner. She snorted a few times, “Not going, I refuse to go! You told me that if you had your previous life’s memories, you’d be able to recognize me at a glance. Is it because I became ugly that you don’t want to be with me anymore…”

Before she could finish, Zhu Junyang took three large steps forward and arrived next to her. He pulled her into a tight embrace with his muscular arms. Lin Xiaowan was just a hair width’s shy of 1.6 meters tall. Compared to his 1.86 meters, she was only a little sprout. Lin Xiaowan had to step on her tiptoes in order to hug his neck.

“Let my older sister go! You stinky pervert!” Lin Xiaochan ran over in fury and was using her bag as a weapon, but she was stopped in time by Lin Qijun.

“Can either of you tell us just what is going on here ah?” Lin Qijun wasn’t blind. He had noticed that his older sister, who had always been on the bashful side, was actually clinging onto the other man’s neck. If they weren’t in the hallway of the hospital, he would have reckoned that the two of them would have started kissing each other.

Lin Xiaowan hugged her man’s neck tightly and hung from it. She turned around and grinned sheepishly at her younger siblings as she said in a low voice, “If I said...the two of us fell in love at first sight, admired each other wholeheartedly at our second meeting, and have decided to marry on our third, would believe it?”

Psh! Who would believe you? Li Qijun and Lin Xiaochan rolled their eyes at the same time.

‘Who cares whether you guys believe us or not? We will never be apart, together forever’...Lin Xiaowan (Yu Xiaocao) and Xiao Mubai (Zhu Junyang) grinned at each other…
