President, Our Egg Is Lost

Chapter Forty-Seven: But you, you are my own private superhero.

“Heart rate 35!”

“Blood pressure 42!”

“Blood O2 saturation 57%!”

“No, no, the vital signs are dropping too fast!”

……

“I don’t care what method you use or how much it costs! Even if I have to exchange my own heart for his, they must save him. Otherwise, I’ll destroy your whole hospital!”

“Mr. Cheng, please calm down! We’ll try our best to save him, but you’re also hurt badly. We need to deal with you immediately, otherwise your condition will get worse!”

“No, I don’t need it! You all must save him, go, go!”

……

“Mr. Cheng, after an overnight surgery, Mr. Ji is out of danger. His vital signs are gradually recovering. It’s just not certain when he will wake up.”

“Since he’s out of danger, why won’t he wake up? Don’t you claim to be one of the best heart surgeons in all of China? Turns out that’s just an undeserved reputation!”

“Mr. Cheng, a doctor is not an immortal god after all. The current medical technology hasn’t yet developed to the point where we can do whatever we wish. This gunshot wound was very serious. If it were an average person instead, they would have been killed on the spot. Mr. Ji has a unique physique…… In any case, when will he wake up? That depends on Mr. Ji’s personal will………”

……

“Ji XiaoYu, I order you to wake up immediately, otherwise I will not only deduct your December salary, but also all of your end-of-year bonus.

“Baby, I’m sorry, I said something bad. I won’t deduct your salary. I’ll give you whatever you want, as long as you wake up.

“Baby, open your eyes, okay? I’m begging you……

“Baby……

“Baby……”

……

Ji XiaoYu was in pain, unprecedented pain. It hurt as if his body were being torn apart. After the pain reached his limit, he gradually became numb and lost control of his body completely. Such a strange feeling; he felt as if he were very light, like a feather being blown by the wind to fly through the sky freely. And then he seemed to feel very heavy again, like a heavy stone being thrown away into a dark, bottomless abyss.

Like that, he was very sleepy and tired, not wanting to move even a hair on his head. It was fine if he was in heaven or hell, as long as he could get a good night’s rest.

But he couldn’t. There were always a lot of people yelling around him, making it so noisy that he couldn’t sleep at all. And then later the noise was replaced by a familiar, hoarse voice, which kept up the noise in his ear non-stop, louder than a group of people making noise. It was more annoying than Xiao Qing Shan’s cicadas in the summer, going *zi-er-wa* from morning to night.

He was annoyed and tired, and wanted that man to shut up, but his mouth couldn’t open, as if it were glued shut, and he could observe helplessly from inside.

“Baby, you’ve been asleep for three days and three nights, shouldn’t that be enough? You’ll become silly if you sleep too long, though you are silly enough already.

“Baby, don’t be afraid. Since I’m here, nothing bad will happen, no one will dare to mess with you.

“Baby, wake up and release your hand, okay? I’m not stealing your Xiao DengPao, I’m just trying to wipe your hand clean. Your hands are dirty and you’ve made Xiao DengPao dirty too.

“Baby, did Xiao DengPao run out of power? I haven’t seen it shine these past few days. Although I don’t like this memento that someone else gave you, if it’s something you like, I can accept it………”

What the?! Xiao DengPao isn’t shining? Ah, ah, ah, ah, it’s not broken, right?!

My child, what happened to you? Don’t scare Daddy! Move, shine brightly, okay? Daddy is begging you!

Ji XiaoYu was anxious inside, so he struggled with all his strength and then slammed his eyes open.

His sight was very blurry at first, with white spots blooming in his eyes. It took a while for him to see clearly. There was the ceiling above his head.

He turned his eyes, his gaze slowly moving down. He saw some medical instruments and tubes that were connected to his body, looking strange and grotesque.

Then, he saw a man sitting in a wheelchair next to the bed, with a bandage on his head and a cast on his leg. His cheeks were thin, his chin was scruffy, who knew how long since he had shaved. He was completely sloppy and unseemly. He could barely look at him.

The man was holding a wet towel in his hand, wiping his right hand which was clenched in a fist, with a little white showing between his fingers, his little white egg.

Ji XiaoYu secretly gave a bit of effort and his fingers finally opened according to his will. The little white egg in his palm rolled onto the bed and hung dangerously on the edge, about to fall to the floor.

Cheng YuTang’s eyes widened, his gaunt face taking on an expression of joy, “Baby, you’re awake?!”

“Little…bulb! My Xiao DengPao!” Ji XiaoYu rushed to scream out, struggling to get up and catch the little white egg. He made the IV stand sway and the vital sign monitoring instruments also beeped.

“Baby, don’t worry, I’ll get it for you!” Cheng YuTang quickly picked up Xiao DengPao and put it into Ji XiaoYu’s hands. His heart was both happy and a bit sour.

Naturally, he was happy because the little thing had been coma for three days and three nights and finally woke up. He was a bit sour because the first thing the little thing remembered as soon as he woke up was Xiao DengPao; he didn’t even look directly at himself.

No, this kind of thought is wrong! How can I still be jealous of the little thing’s memento now? This little thing saved me with his life. Him waking up is the heavens’ greatest gift to me. If I’m still preoccupied with nonsense, then I don’t deserve his kindness.

With shaking hands, Ji XiaoYu lifted the white egg before his eyes. He endured the pain from his chest and whispered, “Don’t scare me, shine brightly, okay? Just for a moment is fine.”

At the last moment before he was shot, he had taken the little white egg out of his pants pocket and held it in his hand, just to prevent it from being crushed to the ground when he fell. Was the little white egg still in a state of shock from the impact?

Cheng YuTang saw him looking so distressed, so he softly comforted, “Baby, you’ve been holding it since you fell unconscious. I wasn’t able to open your hand, so I paid special attention to not letting your hand be struck to keep Xiao DengPao from being broken. It probably just ran out of power, I’ll immediately send someone out to buy the battery………”

Before he could end the sentence, the little white egg suddenly flashed, a dazzling brilliance emerging.

Ji XiaoYu almost wept from joy, so good, Baby is fine, it’s okay!

“I told you it was okay, now you can rest assured.” Cheng YuTang was infected by his emotions and couldn’t keep from smiling, “Lie down obediently, don’t hurt yourself again.”

Ji XiaoYu looked up at his bloodshot eyes and those thin, sunken-in cheeks. Suddenly, his heart was filled with a mix of feelings. He couldn’t help but open his arms to hug the man who seemed to have aged greatly in the days since he’d seen him.

My child is fine, I’m fine, my child’s father is fine too, I really am a good wife.

Cheng YuTang was frozen at first and then he became overjoyed and hugged him back vigorously. Beneath the sense of excitement, there was a surge of heat and he couldn’t keep from trembling slightly.

Having to watch Ji XiaoYu jump in front of him as a shield, taking the evil criminal’s bullet for him, splashing his blood on his chest, and then that moment when he fell before him with his eyes closed, he had almost gone crazy on the spot.

The little thing had always been so vibrant and radiant, loving to laugh, loving to leap around, loving to make noise. His beautiful red phoenix eyes were always full of playfulness and cleverness. How could there be a time where he became completely silent, with that appearance of total unconsciousness?

He hadn’t spent any good times with him yet, how could he lose just lose him like this?

If he lost him, how could he spend the rest of the decades of his life without him?

He had never been so scared in his life.

Fortunately, the heavens pitied him and, having heard the cry in his heart, didn’t take his darling away, giving Ji XiaoYu back to him.

Now, he could finally feel at ease.

The medical staff and the employees of HongSheng, both large and small, rushed to the ward after receiving the alarm from the equipment. When they saw the scene of the two clinging to each other, they suddenly felt awkward watching.

A little nurse gently adjusted the equipment and changed Ji XiaoYu’s IV bag. After, she whispered in the ear of a coworker, “This little guy’s constitution is so strong, just like the Hulk after transforming, but he’s so much more handsome than the Hulk.”

“Of course he is. It’s a pity this handsome guy isn’t a star………”

The hospital dean, who was also the attending physician, was off to the side. After hearing this, he shot over a stern glare and the two nurses immediately closed their mouths in trepidation.

The doctor then cleared his throat, saying, “Mr. Ji has woken up and is fine, all that’s left is to slowly recover and go through conditioning. Alright, everyone, get out, don’t disturb these two patients’ rest.”

Cheng Zong had promised that as long as Ji XiaoYu could wake up and if the doctor kept a certain secret for him, he would donate a sum of money to the hospital with no strings attached. With this astronomical amount of money, the existing size of the hospital could be expanded sufficiently. Also, his own reputation at home and even worldwide would jump to the next level.

This deal was a real bargain, because if Ji XiaoYu’s recovery was very good, his own exquisite physique would get him 80% there and the role played by the doctor and his hospital would actually only be responsible for the last 20% at most.

Therefore, no matter what Cheng Zong required, he would do it 100% and wouldn’t allow for a single mistake.

Everyone followed the order and withdrew the room. For the moment, their moods varied; there was shock, relief, disdain, envy, the whole range.

However, everyone had reached the same consensus, the kid had really amazing fortune, not dying from such a serious gunshot wound. Also, he took the wound while saving Cheng Zong’s life. That was good; by suffering a nearly fatal hardship, he would be repaid with blessings.

By helping Cheng Zong, like elevating oneself on a branch, a pheasant could transform into a phoenix.

……

When there were just the two men left in the room, Ji XiaoYu pushed Cheng YuTang away a bit and, with a vaguely bad hunch, asked, “What is the Hulk?”

He had heard the muttering of the little nurse just now, but he had been in an embrace with a man, so he had been too embarrassed to look up. There were no outsiders at the moment, so he couldn’t help but ask.

Cheng YuTang’s hearing ability wasn’t as good as his, so he hadn’t heard anything. He smiled and asked, “Hmm, why are you asking about that?”

Ji XiaoYu blinked and said, “It’s nothing, I just suddenly thought of it. When I was watching TV once, someone mentioned it.”

Looking at his expression, Cheng YuTang knew that he was lying. The little thing had been unconscious for three days and nights and had just woken up. Why would he “suddenly remember” a name that he heard when watching TV one time? Someone must have said it just now.

It seemed that he had to make his attitude tougher and firmer. Any activities that might cause the little thing to feel discomfort must be absolutely smothered.

A glimmer of cold light flashed in his eyes. But he opened his mouth and explained casually, “The Hulk is a superhero in a science fiction series filmed in the United States. He is muscular, enormous, and has a powerful ability to regenerate. Even if he’s seriously injured, he can recover quickly. There are many movies in the same series, such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, and so on. Children like them a lot. If you’re interested, we’ll go home and watch together after you recover, okay?”

In the past, Ji XiaoYu would have definitely said “okay” immediately, but at the moment, he gave it a little more thought. Why did the little nurse compare him to the Hulk? Could it be that he was exposed somehow?

He remembered the stunned look in Cheng YuTang’s eyes three days ago when he had knocked down more than 20 gangsters. He couldn’t keep his heart from shuddering. He didn’t respond to Cheng YuTang’s suggestion, instead, he took the chance to ask a series of questions, “What happened to those bad guys? Do you, do you think I’m a bit strange, a bit different from everyone else? What happened after I got shot? Have you seen anything, anything that wasn’t a normal phenomenon?”

“The bad guys are all arrested, not a single one escaped. There won’t be any chance for them to harm anyone else in this life. You can rest assured.” Cheng YuTang took his hand in his own and answered each question with extreme patience, “Of course you’re different from everyone else. You are unique, the best, the most special. Otherwise, how could I be so enchanted? After you fell unconscious, I immediately called the emergency number. At that time, you shed a lot of blood and your vital signs were all out of order. Though the situation was dangerous at first, fortunately your physique is extraordinary and your will to survive is very tenacious, so you made it through. Our darling is the best. The superheroes in those movies belong to the audience all over the world, but you, you are my own private superhero.”

As he said this, he was holding the hand still clutching Xiao DengPao and he pressed his lips to it with a pure, gentle kiss.

Ji XiaoYu gasped softly and touched the thick layer of gauze on his chest. It was a miracle he didn’t faint on the spot.

It was very painful there, but in addition to the pain of the piercing of the bullet, there was another kind of fine, thin pain, because the pain caused by this man before him was more profound than physical pain. He thought to himself that he would never forget this pain for the rest of his life.
