Seeing she didn't want to talk more, Lu Youting didn't ask further; he stood up, walked over to her, and tenderly tucked her loose hair behind her ear.
The intimate gesture made Jian Si's heart, which had just calmed down, start racing again.
Lu Youting asked in a husky voice, "Are you hungry? Let's go out for breakfast. What would you like to eat?"
Jian Si, afraid of succumbing once again, stepped back to put some distance between them and nodded uncomfortably, "Having a bit to eat is good, so I have the strength to take care of Xiao Bai when he wakes up."
Lu Youting nodded happily.
Before the two of them could turn and leave, a nurse standing outside the ICU announced, "The patient is awake."
That single statement stopped both Jian Si and Lu Youting in their tracks.
They dashed to the glass window.
Sure enough, they saw Lu Yanbai, who had been unconscious, slowly open his eyes. He seemed confused about his surroundings, his eyes curiously darting around.
