Cold Priest VS Ancient Ferocious Beast

People came and went in a swarm. Now only Lin Shen and Lin Yue were left in the ward. The atmosphere was completely devoid of the liveliness it had when Su Qingchen and Mo Zhu were still there.

Lin Shen had a lot to say, but Lin Yue didn't seem to want to listen.

"There's so much soup here. Do you want to drink anything for lunch? I'll go down and heat it up." Lin Shen started to make conversation.

"Don't be busy here."

"I'm not busy. It's only a little after ten o'clock and I have time to ask about lunch. How can I be considered busy..."

“Why don’t you run the company?”

"I've been taking care of it... for many days. You're lying here because I didn't handle things properly. If I don't take care of the company, would I still be a human being..."

"You don't have to think so. I did it on my own will."

"I know, but if I don't take your affairs to heart just because you wanted to do it, am I still a human being?"

"..."

"I know you feel... tired of being with me, tired of talking to me, maybe tired of just seeing me... After all... I have really made you tired over the years."

Lin Shen did not sit next to Lin Yue, but stood a little distance away from the bed.

"For me, it is my responsibility to take good care of you, but your thoughts are also important. If you feel that I put pressure on you, I... I will respect you," Lin Shen said with a somewhat lonely tone.

"Help me push the bed down, I want to sleep." Lin Yue did not answer Lin Shen's question.

"Okay." Lin Shen walked to Lin Yue and pressed the button.

Lin Yue lay down, covered himself with the quilt and closed his eyes.

Lin Shen closed the curtains and said softly, "Remember to wake up."

Lin Shen was responded by silence.

Lin Shen left the ward, discussed Lin Yue's treatment plan with Shi Yun on the phone, and then waited.

In Lin Shen's impression, he seemed to have never waited for anything for Lin Yue. It was always Lin Yue who followed his pace. He deserved the current situation.

Near noon, Lin Shen returned to Lin Yue's ward. Lin Yue had already woken up, but he neither opened the curtains nor turned on the lights. He just blinked in the dark and stared at the ceiling.

"Awake? I'll open the curtains."

"What if I say I like it this dark?" Lin Yue said indifferently.

"That's it." Lin Shen could only vaguely see the inside of the ward with the little light coming through the curtains.

"It's time for lunch. You promised Xiaochen that you would have lunch." Lin Shen said.

Lin Yue didn't say anything.

Lin Shen said patiently, "Or maybe we can have the pigeon soup Aunt Jiang brought for lunch."

Then he walked to the cabinet and started tinkering with it in the dark.

Lin Yue sighed softly and pressed the button to open the curtains. The curtains slowly opened and the room became brighter.

Lin Shen turned his back to Lin Yue, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"It's ready. Can you drink it yourself?" Lin Shen handed the soup to Lin Yue.

"Did you smoke?" Lin Yue asked.

"Can you smell it? Then you drink the soup first, I'll go change my clothes."

Lin Shen put the soup on the dining table and prepared to leave the ward.

"Why do you smoke?" Lin Yue asked.

"Uh...no reason, I just had some free time outside."

"Ah."

Lin Yue started drinking the soup and ignored Lin Shen.

Lin Shen went to his lounge to change his clothes before coming back.

Lin Yue had finished his soup and started to daydream again.

"Is that enough? Do you want another bowl?" Lin Shen asked.

"No need." Lin Yue said.

"Okay, I'll take the bowl."

Lin Shen cleaned up the dishes and the table, and then they looked into each other's eyes again, a moment of silence.

"Brother." Lin Yue took the initiative to speak, "Actually, you don't have to be like this..."

"I want this to happen. I want this to happen," said Lin Shen.

"I... don't mean to be mean to you... I just can't seem to control myself."

"Xiao Yue, you didn't treat me badly. You were injured and lay down for so long, so it's normal to feel uncomfortable."

"What I said in the car that day was the truth... The first thing I thought about when I woke up was... Why did I wake up again... How nice it would be if I could just sleep all the time..."

"Xiao Yue!" Lin Shen was a little anxious and hugged him.

"I might be sick. I wasn't like this before." Lin Yue was hugged softly by Lin Shen.

"It's my fault." Lin Shen blamed himself.

"I told you, you don't have to think like that."

"How about we find a doctor?"

"Ah."

Lin Shen didn't expect that Lin Yue would actually bring up this matter himself, so he went along with it and suggested seeing a doctor.

Lin Yue leaned on Lin Shen's shoulder and said, "Brother... I'm so tired."

Lin Shen's eyes instantly became wet. This was the first time that Lin Yue regarded him as a support.

Lin Shen gently touched Lin Yue's head and said, "If you're tired, just stay here for a while. I'll always be with you, okay?"

"Hmm." Lin Yue groaned.

Lin Yue's initiative made Lin Shen very excited and more confident.

"During the time you were asleep, Xiaochen and Mozhu came to see you every day and talked to you a lot. Did you hear anything?" Lin Shen hugged Lin Yue and started chatting.

"No……"

"Then you're at a big loss. Xiaochen said he tells you exciting things every day, and I really want to hear them. But he doesn't tell me, and if you don't hear them, then I won't have the chance to hear them either, right?"

"When did you become so gossipy?"

"Then I want to know what you heard? Actually... I wanted to make soup for you yesterday, but I realized I didn't seem to know what you liked to eat... I suddenly felt like a failure."

As he spoke, Lin Shen patted Lin Yue's back again.

"Brother, even if you knew what I like to eat, would you cook it?"

Lin Shen smiled and said, "I can learn. Just tell me what you like to eat, okay? I'll make it for you tomorrow."

"You don't have to do this..." I don't know how many times Lin Yue repeated this sentence.

"Xiao Yue, I can do a lot for you, and I am willing to do it."

"Why?" To Lin Yue, he suddenly had a brother whose attitude changed 180 degrees.

Lin Shen rested his chin on the top of Lin Yue's head and thought for a moment.

"I don't know how to explain it clearly. I still want to apologize to you for everything that happened before."

"Brother, you apologized, and you don't have to apologize."

"If I don't apologize, I'll feel sad, and I don't think an apology will help. You don't have to forgive me."

"You have done nothing wrong to me."

"...Just think of it as me suddenly changing my style. Can I cosplay Mo Zhuxing?"

Lin Yue couldn't help laughing, "What's going on here..."

"Xiao Yue, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Lin Shen asked tentatively.

"..." This question seemed to have touched upon Lin Yue's vital point, and he fell silent again.

"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it." Lin Shen hugged Lin Yue tightly.

"...I just think you're... quite pitiful, a child who clearly has everything and yet seems to have lost everything. I told you, I understand your emotions, so I'm willing to be good to you. You really don't have to feel sorry."

"Xiao Yue, now that I'm grown up, let me take care of you, okay?"

Lin Shen helped Lin Yue up and said while looking into Lin Yue's eyes.

"Brother... I'm 24..." Lin Yue smiled haggardly.

"You are 24, and I am your brother. Xiaochen is also 24, look at his brother."

"You don't have to be like Mo Ge, brother. If those things in the past no longer affect you, if the child you used to be has grown up, I hope you can be yourself."
