Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

Li Wenjia had always been in good health, but recently, the intensity of her hospital work had increased dramatically. The long, arduous shifts had taken a toll on her body. Add to that the emotional toll of previous relationship setbacks, and the accumulated fatigue and stress finally crumbled one day.

It was an ordinary afternoon, sunlight streaming through the hospital windows into the corridor. Li Wenjia had just finished a busy morning's work and was about to head to the lounge for a short rest. But the moment she stood up, a wave of dizziness washed over her like a surging tide. Her vision blurred, as if the world were spinning. Her legs instantly gave out, unable to support her weight. She slid helplessly against the wall and sat down.

Colleagues heard the noise and rushed to check on Li Wenjia. She was pale as a sheet, beads of sweat dripping down her forehead, her lips were bloodless, and she was utterly frail. Without delay, her colleagues quickly loaded her onto a stretcher and rushed her to the emergency room.

Xiao Yi was resting at home when he received a call from the hospital, informing him that Li Wenjia had suddenly fallen ill and collapsed. His heart suddenly clenched, as if gripped by an invisible hand, and a surge of unease and worry washed over him. He didn't care that he wasn't fully recovered yet. He hurriedly threw on his coat and rushed to the hospital, distraught.

When Xiao Yi rushed to the emergency room, he found Li Wenjia lying on the hospital bed, her eyes closed. Her face, usually brimming with energy and enthusiasm, was now shrouded in pain. His pace quickened as he reached the bedside, gazing at Li Wenjia's haggard appearance. He felt a surge of self-blame and regret. He repeatedly questioned why he hadn't paid more attention to her condition, why he hadn't offered her more care and support during the stress of work and the emotional pain she endured.

After a thorough examination of Li Wenjia, the doctor left the emergency room with a solemn expression. Xiao Yi hurried forward, anxiously asking, "Doctor, how is she? Is her condition serious?" The doctor sighed softly and said, "Her immune system has been severely damaged by prolonged exertion and mental stress, leading to multiple complications. Her current condition is not optimistic. She will require long-term hospitalization for treatment and observation. The subsequent recovery process will be extremely difficult, requiring her to demonstrate strong willpower and a positive attitude." Upon hearing the doctor's words, Xiao Yi clenched his fists, his eyes revealing a fierce determination. He vowed to himself that no matter what, he would be there for Li Wenjia through this difficult time and do his utmost to care for her.

During Li Wenjia's hospital stay, Xiao Yi dropped all his responsibilities and devoted himself to her care. Every morning, before the first rays of sunlight fully illuminated the city, Xiao Yi would rise early and head to the vegetable market near the hospital. He meticulously selected fresh ingredients from the various stalls, constantly pondering how to combine them to prepare nutritious and delicious meals for Li Wenjia. Returning to the hospital, he plunged into the small kitchen, busily preparing porridge, soup, and stir-fries for Li Wenjia. He meticulously simmered the porridge to the perfect consistency, stewed the soup to a delicious flavor, and stir-fried the vegetables to perfection. He applied meticulous care to each step, as if he were crafting a precious work of art.

Whenever Li Wenjia woke, Xiao Yi would always be the first to arrive at her bedside, carrying a steaming hot meal. He would gently help her up, placing a soft pillow behind her back so she could sit comfortably. Then, he would scoop a spoonful of porridge with a small spoon, gently blowing it to cool it before carefully bringing it to Li Wenjia's lips. His eyes were filled with endless concern and tenderness, and he would whisper, "Wenjia, eat something. This will give you enough strength to recover." Li Wenjia watched Xiao Yi busying around for her, feeling both touched and somewhat helpless. She knew Xiao Yi's attentive care for her was driven by guilt, but she didn't want to become a burden to him because of her illness. However, under Xiao Yi's firm yet gentle gaze, she slowly opened her mouth and swallowed the food he fed her, bite by bite.

In addition to providing Li Wenjia with meticulous care in daily life, Xiao Yi also offered her tremendous spiritual support and encouragement. Whenever Li Wenjia felt frustrated and lost hope in recovery due to her recurring illness, Xiao Yi would silently sit by her bedside, tightly hold her hand, and comfort her with warm and powerful words: "Wenjia, don't lose heart. You are the strongest and bravest girl I know. You've faced so many difficulties and challenges in your work and never flinched. This illness is just another test in your life. I believe that with your perseverance and courage, you will overcome it. Moreover, I will always be here with you, never leaving you, and we will get through this together." He would recount to Li Wenjia all sorts of anecdotes from his own experiences in the entertainment industry. These stories, filled with laughter and hard work, always made Li Wenjia temporarily forget the physical pain and bring a faint smile to her face. He would also share some ancient historical stories and cultural knowledge that he knew, from ancient legends to the rise and fall of dynasties. Li Wenjia was deeply attracted by these novel and interesting stories and immersed himself in them, as if he had traveled back to that distant era with Xiao Yi's narration.

Once, Li Wenjia felt extremely uncomfortable due to the strong side effects of her treatment. She lay in bed vomiting non-stop, her whole body in excruciating pain. Seeing this, Xiao Yi, without hesitation, picked up a towel and quickly came to her side. He gently wiped the dirt from the corners of Li Wenjia's mouth, his movements gentle and skillful, without a trace of disgust or disgust. Then, he slowly massaged Li Wenjia's abdomen, trying to ease her discomfort. As he massaged her, he whispered soothingly, "Wenjia, don't be afraid. This side effect is only temporary and will pass soon. You have to be strong, I will always be with you." Li Wenjia opened her eyes slightly, looked at Xiao Yi's focused and distressed eyes, and tears welled up in her eyes. She choked up and said, "Xiao Yi, why are you so nice to me? You've already rejected me, there's no need to do this." Xiao Yi sighed slightly, stopped what he was doing, gently smoothed her messy hair, and said, "Wenjia, no matter what twists and turns our relationship has, you are a very important friend in my life. I can't just watch you suffer and do nothing. When I was most vulnerable and helpless, you were by my side, giving me care and concern. Now, it's my turn to protect you."

Under Xiao Yi's meticulous care, Li Wenjia's condition gradually showed signs of improvement. Her complexion slowly regained some color, no longer as pale as paper. She also seemed to regain some strength, no longer constantly lying weakly in bed. One day, Li Wenjia's spirits were relatively good, so Xiao Yi decided to help her take a walk in the hospital garden, to breathe in the fresh air and experience the vitality and energy of nature.

The sun shone brightly in the garden, its warm rays bathing the earth, adorning every flower and leaf with a golden glow. A riot of color blossomed, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow. They swayed gently in the breeze, emitting waves of enchanting fragrance. Butterflies fluttered among the blossoms, their graceful movements like dancing elves, adding a touch of agility and liveliness to the beautiful garden. Xiao Yi carefully supported Li Wenjia as they slowly strolled along the garden path. Li Wenjia took a deep breath. The fresh air, mingling with the fragrance of flowers and the scent of earth, slowly entered her lungs, bringing a sense of comfort she had never felt before. She closed her eyes slightly, taking in the beautiful breath, a long-lost smile breaking across her face. Xiao Yi watched her quietly from the side, feeling a sense of relief. He knew that Li Wenjia was slowly recovering, a result he had longed for.

However, as Li Wenjia's condition gradually improved, Xiao Yi's inner conflict deepened. He didn't know how to face Li Wenjia's gradual recovery, nor did he know what the future held for their relationship. Every time he saw Li Wenjia's gradually regaining vitality, he felt a surge of mixed emotions. On the one hand, he was happy for Li Wenjia's recovery, sincerely hoping she would regain her health and live a happy life. On the other hand, he couldn't help but recall his undying longing and love for Li Lingyuan. He knew that Li Lingyuan held a special place in his heart, and he couldn't easily let go of their emotional entanglement. But at this moment, his only certainty was that as long as Li Wenjia needed his care, he would remain by her side without hesitation, no matter what difficulties and challenges lay ahead. Because deep down, Li Wenjia had become an indispensable friend in his life, and he couldn't let her trust and dependence go.
