Chapter 245: Are You Out of Your Mind?

The New Year arrived as scheduled, and everyone's faces were filled with joy.

Yet there was another group of people whose faces were full of anxiety, silently guarding An Yinan's hospital bed.

As the time counted down 10... 9...

3... 2... 1!

"Nan Nan, Happy New Year." Xie Yuanyuan could not control her tears.

She had told herself countless times that Nan Nan was fine, that Nan Nan would definitely wake up; Nan Nan was so smart and so strong, how could she bear to leave this group of people behind?

Li Xiue turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Zhao Qiuhua patted her back, but she herself was already sobbing uncontrollably.

They wrote letters at regular intervals; although Nan Nan had come to the Northeast Military Region, their connection had always remained.

If anything happened, Nan Nan would notify them in advance.

But this time there was no news at all; the letters sent out were like kites with broken strings, unable to find the way back.

They waited until the dead of winter, took leave, and came here—a place of ice and snow where the cold could kill you without mercy.

And that person with the most mischievous ideas was now lying on the hospital bed with weak breathing; only her faint breaths indicated that she was still alive.

The people from the Yun Family came and went, then left and came again.

They could not stay for too long; holding important positions, they could not take leave as they pleased, but whenever they could spare the time, they would come here to watch over their Yun Family's treasure.

They were still keeping it from the old lady; she was too old, and they were afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it.

The holiday was short, and the companions from Quanshui Village left with heavy hearts.

Time flowed slowly by, while An Yinan was currently deep in a dream.

The moment she fell into a coma, the teaching of the Hundred Herbs Collection in her mind had already begun!

Her spirit was extremely exhausted, and besides, the Hundred Herbs Collection was truly not just a hundred herbs...

There were more than a thousand, ten thousand herbs...

We don't know why it's called the Hundred Herbs Collection, and we dare not say, nor dare we ask!

But every day, besides being exhausted, she had to memorize the appearance, harvest year, medicinal effects, contraindications, and preparation methods of the herbs, and so on!

An Yinan did not know how much time had passed; she only knew that she challenged and failed time and again, and relearned time and again, which fully ignited her competitive spirit.

"Ding: System Traditional Chinese Medicine learning complete. The space restriction has been lifted; the host may enter and exit at will."

This time there was no teacher of Traditional Chinese Medicine, nor were there any instructions or words; there was only a mechanical voice.

Her eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, then she slowly opened her eyes, but having been in the dark for so long, her eyes could not stand the light and she immediately closed them again.

She instinctively reached out her hand, wanting to cover her eyes so it would be more comfortable, but...

Her own hand seemed to be held, and she couldn't pull it away at all.

And Chen Xun woke up with a start; he looked up and saw those slowly fluttering eyelashes and the slightly wrinkled nose.

"Nan Nan!" Chen Xun called out.

In his voice was a tremor he hadn't even noticed himself.

"Mm..." An Yinan let out a deep, muffled groan, then her somewhat dry little mouth pouted, her voice hoarse from not having had water for too long, "It hurts!"

Chen Xun hurriedly comforted her, "I'll go find the doctor, don't move, wait for me."

His sentences were jumbled, and his footsteps were even more chaotic; he ran quickly to the door wanting to dash to Qin Hao's office, then remembered and found a nurse.

"The patient in room 136 has woken up, please call Qin Hao to come take a look quickly." After he finished instructing, he didn't forget to turn back and say it again, "Room 136."

After saying that, he ran back into the ward quickly, looking at the girl who had already opened her eyes.

He said softly, "I'm sorry."

He didn't even know how to face her.

An Yinan was now completely weak; the tests were repeated over and over, the memories were familiarized over and over, while her mental energy was being overdrawn again and again.

Never mind standing up, even lifting her hand felt strenuous.

"I have no strength, come here." The girl was delicate and weak, but her throat was terribly dry and hoarse; paired with that pointed chin and those watery, big eyes, her whole person was filled with a sense of pitifulness.

Chen Xun instantly forgot his previous guilt; he moved forward quickly, leaned his body forward, and asked carefully, "Where are you uncomfortable?"

An Yinan spoke up and said, "Lower your head."

Chen Xun obediently lowered his head, though he didn't understand what his wife wanted to do.

An Yinan gathered her strength and reached out her hand, wanting to touch his face, but while the thought was lovely, in reality, she couldn't do it.

Her hand just touched Chen Xun's face and then fell down powerlessly.

Chen Xun saw her disappointed little look and hurriedly took her hand, then placed it against his own face.

Just at this moment...

A group of people pushed the door open and entered from outside; when he saw the situation in the ward, Qin Hao, who was walking at the very front, stopped abruptly.

And Wang Ping, who was following behind, was short and couldn't see the situation in front; she had no idea what kind of fit Doctor Qin was throwing, why did he stop suddenly?

She lunged forward, and her whole little face bumped into Qin Hao's back.

Her nose immediately felt sour, and her eyes kept shedding physiological fluid...

"Are you sick? Do you know how to walk? Don't you know there's someone behind you?" Wang Ping, who had just come to her senses, put her hands on her hips and accused Qin Hao with an angry face.

Qin Hao was also a bit helpless; he stepped aside and pointed toward the direction of the hospital bed.

Only then did everyone see that An Yinan's hand was resting on Chen Xun's face.

An Yinan wanted to pull her hand back, but she really lacked the strength, and Chen Xun's face was a bit thick-skinned now; he didn't let go at all and held her hand directly in his palm.

"That..." Wang Ping was a bit embarrassed, but seeing An Yinan's open eyes, she was moved to tears this time.

"Doctor An, I'm so happy you could wake up, I was so scared... scared that you..." The little girl's tears fell one after another; the first were tears from her sour nose, but now she couldn't control them at all.

She wiped her sleeves twice; the old tears were wiped clean, but new tears had already flowed out.

These past few days she had been truly afraid; such a good person, after all.

On the road with heavy snow falling, the people from her own hospital were unable to even look after themselves and no one helped her carry the equipment; it was this thin, frail young girl who protected her all the way to the Camp.

If it weren't for her, she might have collapsed on that snowy road, as it was so difficult that she couldn't see an end to it.

"Hey, you were brought here to see the patient, not to mourn at a funeral; you look ugly as hell," Qin Hao couldn't help but frown.

Recently, this Wang Ping didn't know what kind of gunpowder she had eaten; the young girl who used to look delicate and extremely shy was always losing her temper at him lately, so now that he finally had a chance to strike back, how could he not seize it?

An Yinan saw Qin Hao like this, then saw the young girl's look of utter disgust, and she felt like she could smell the scent of dog food!

However, Comrade Qin Hao, you are surely destined to be single for life!

"Sister-in-law, I need an examination," Qin Hao said.

An Yinan was still thinking about the matter of being destined to be single, and having been unconscious for too long, her brain was a bit slow to turn, so she immediately replied, "Why don't you go get your brain checked?"
