Chapter 726: Chapter 722: Waking Up
Ye Fan opened his eyes once again, and it was already the next morning.
Although this life-and-death duel with Dong Ziqi was not as dire as the previous assassination attempt by Dong Ziqi, it had still nearly cost him his life.
However, he had finally avenged himself this ti.
Not only that, but through this brush with death, his martial artist’s heart had grown even more resolute and fearless.
“Are you awake?” A pleasant and gentle voice reached his ears, Ye Fan turned his head and saw Lin Yuehua sitting beside his bed, her beautiful face full of joy and excitent.
Ye Fan opened his mouth to ask what ti it was, only to find that opening his mouth and breathing pulled at the muscles in his chest, causing a wave of intense pain that made him frown.
Lin Yuehua, seeing the sudden look of pain on Ye Fan’s face, imdiately pressed gently against him and said, “Don’t move. Your body is full of injuries. Are you thirsty? Let get you so water.”
Saying this, she turned around, fetched a bowl of warm water and a spoon, and carefully fed Ye Fan.
After drinking so water, Ye Fan felt much better and tried to speak softly, “Thank you, Yuehua.”
“You’re welco. Actually, I didn’t help much,” Lin Yuehua said, her cheeks slightly blushing.
Then, as if she rembered sothing, she said, “Ah, I almost forgot to notify Mr. Shen and the others. Lie down for a mont, I’ll go call Mr. Shen over.”
With that, she got up and briskly left the room.
Soon after, Shen Biancheng walked in, followed by Gu Youlan and Gu Mingshuang.
“Haha, little junior brother, you’ve finally woken up.” Shen Biancheng entered the room, saw that Ye Fan indeed had awakened, and laughed joyfully, “As long as you’re awake, it’ll be alright.”
He sat down by the bed and continued, “You just need to rest and recuperate for half a month, and you’ll fully recover without any lingering injuries.”
“Hehe, thank you, senior brother,” Ye Fan sincerely said.
Shen Biancheng laughed heartily.
Next were greetings from Gu Youlan and Gu Mingshuang.
After about five or six minutes, as Ye Fan had just awakened and needed quiet rest, Shen Biancheng and Gu Youlan left the room, leaving Lin Yuehua to care for Ye Fan.
After resting for half an hour, he felt much better.
At that mont, Lin Yuehua brought over Ye Fan’s cellphone and said, “Yesterday, a person nad Xiaoman called you three tis. I didn’t answer. I replied to her ssage for you, telling her you are fine. Another person nad Xiaoyan also called three tis. I replied to her ssages as well.”
“Oh. Thank you,” Ye Fan said.
Lu Xiaoman and Mo Xiaoyan knew he was participating in the overseas ancient martial arts convention and had dueled to the death with Dong Ziqi, so Ye Fan could guess they were definitely worried about him.
Thus, he didn’t worry about being unable to make calls himself, and said to Lin Yuehua, “Yuehua, could you dial the number and then hold the phone to my ear?”
“Mmm, okay,” Lin Yuehua imdiately responded.
Actually, she was also curious about what kind of relationship Xiaoman and Xiaoyan had with Ye Fan. From their nas alone, she was fairly sure they were won.
So, Lin Yuehua unlocked Ye Fan’s phone, found Lu Xiaoman’s number, dialed it, and then held the phone to Ye Fan’s ear and mouth.
The phone rang only twice before Lu Xiaoman answered, her voice filled with concern, “Ye Fan, are you alright?”
“Hehe, I’m alright. I’m fine. Just a few minor injuries, I’ll be bouncing around in a few days. You don’t need to worry about ,” Ye Fan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good.”
“Oh, could you relay a ssage to Xiaoyan for ? Thank her for her concern,” Ye Fan added.
Lu Xiaoman replied, “It’s too late. Xiaoyan has already boarded a plane to Malaysia.”
“Really?” Ye Fan frowned.
Was Mo Xiaoyan not afraid that Lu Xiaoman would suspect sothing with such grand gestures?
“Yes. She said she wanted to join the big event for fun and to check up on you,” Lu Xiaoman said.
Ye Fan gave a resigned “Oh,” which was quite in line with Mo Xiaoyan’s character and wouldn’t raise any suspicion from Lu Xiaoman or her parents.
Lu Xiaoman continued, “Ye Fan, when you see Xiaoyan, could you keep an eye on her for ? Tell her to co back early and not to go too wild. My parents are a bit worried about her.”
“Sure,” Ye Fan responded.
The call ended shortly after.
Lin Yuehua put away her phone, placed it on the bedside table beside her, then turned towards Ye Fan.
She could sowhat tell that Ye Fan was very close to the girl called Xiaoman.
Ye Fan, sensing Lin Yuehua’s inquiring gaze, pondered for a mont before saying, “She’s my girlfriend.”
At those words, Lin Yuehua’s mind buzzed, and even though she was prepared, her mind went blank.
“Oh. She… must be very beautiful, right?” Lin Yuehua asked hesitantly.
“She’s very gentle and kind,” Ye Fan responded.
“Oh,” Lin Yuehua murmured, then after a mont of silence, she said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, I need to step out for a bit.”
“Sure, go ahead,” Ye Fan responded.
After that, Lin Yuehua stood up, holding back her sadness, and walked out of Ye Fan’s room.
Exiting the room, Shen Biancheng and Gu Youlan were still sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting. Lin Yuehua did not greet them but quickly walked out of the presidential suite and then ran back to her own room.
She threw herself onto the bed, tears streaming uncontrollably as she sniffled.
Although she had sowhat understood from the beginning that she was a few years older than Ye Fan and that there was no possible future between them, the news of Ye Fan having a girlfriend still overwhelmingly saddened her.
She didn’t bla or hate Ye Fan, but she felt sorry for herself.
As for Ye Fan, a minute or two after Lin Yuehua left, he seed to sense sothing.
“Could Yuehua be upset because she knows Xiaoman is my girlfriend?” he wondered.
He couldn’t help but reflect on the tis he had interacted with Lin Yuehua, rembering that other than the initial accidental misconduct during their first encounter, he might have inadvertently flirted with her once or twice.
“She couldn’t have…” Ye Fan smirked bitterly, wanting to smack himself, “I’m such a jerk!”
After a while, he consoled himself by thinking, “But perhaps, it’s for the best. Now that she knows I have a girlfriend, we should just be ordinary friends. Those notions of musical confidantes or soul mates are just illusions.”
“I just hope Yuehua isn’t too upset,” he thought, reassuring himself, “But maybe she won’t be too troubled. We haven’t had many direct interactions, it might just be a simple liking.”
About an hour later, there were two knocks at the door, and then Lin Yuehua entered, carrying a bowl of steaming porridge.
Seeing Ye Fan’s gaze upon her, Lin Yuehua smiled gently at him.
Ye Fan returned the smile slightly, thinking to himself, “It seems I was worrying over nothing after all.”
