Chapter 1130 A Passerby Cannon Fodder in an Infinite Flow Dimension (Part 53)
Looking out the window at the still dark sky, it's only the early hours of the morning.
Miaomiao originally thought she was staying in the same hospital as Xie Chenzhou. After slightly moving her hands and feet to make sure there was nothing wrong with her body, she prepared to go to Xie Chenzhou's ward to take a look.
Even just confirming that he is safe and sound would be enough to make those life-and-death moments in the mirror world worthwhile.
"Where's my brother? Which ward is Brother Chenzhou resting in? Is he alright?"
Miaomiao looked at her mother and asked, this was the information she most wanted to know at that moment.
But while tucking her in, her mother casually mentioned something.
"Your brother is fine. He's keeping an eye on things with Chen Zhou. It's just that Chen Zhou is still unconscious, and the doctor hasn't been able to find anything wrong with him."
However, while you were unconscious, your brother was afraid you would feel embarrassed if you woke up, so he specially transferred you to our hospital after you woke up.
I told you our own hospital is lucky for you; you woke up just two hours after being transferred here.
Everything else can wait; tomorrow, Mommy will take you to see a master first.
Miaomiao nodded obediently, and knowing that her older brother was there, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was the early hours of the morning, the hospital's medical team was very dedicated. As soon as Miaomiao woke up and was talking to her mother, a nurse pushed in the equipment and gave Miaomiao a full set of examinations.
After that, the doctor repeatedly checked the indicators and, after confirming that everything was correct, smiled and told her that there was no residual damage to her body and that she could go home to rest after completing the discharge procedures at dawn.
Miaomiao nodded, and the thought of wanting to see Xie Chenzhou resurfaced in her mind.
Whether it's the camaraderie forged in battle or the gratitude he showed her by risking his life to protect her, she should go and say hello, even if it's just a simple "take care."
Before she could even plan the route and prepare to have the driver go, her phone suddenly rang.
The words "Big Brother" were particularly eye-catching on the screen.
Miaomiao answered the phone, and Tan Jiashu's slightly hoarse but undeniable voice immediately came through the receiver.
"Miaomiao, Mommy said you're awake. Rest well at home, and I'll tell you when your brother comes back."
Miaomiao's hand holding the phone froze; her older brother seemed to know her inside and out.
"I want to check if Brother Chenzhou is alright..."
“I’m keeping an eye on him. He’s fine, still in a coma. You just need to rest and recover. I’ve already said, apart from being good-looking, he’s not suitable for dating.”
Tan Jiashu interrupted her, his tone full of helplessness and pity.
"Have you forgotten what happened last night?"
After secretly admiring someone for so long and finally mustering the courage to confess, only to be rejected, isn't going to go over there in the middle of the night just asking for trouble?
He paused, his voice softening.
“My parents and I have already decided that since the other person doesn’t like you, we shouldn’t keep pursuing them to avoid awkwardness when we meet and unnecessary heartbreak.”
Miaomiao was indeed reminded by her mother a few times, but after all, several days had passed since her own experience, and there were even several days in [Luna]. Who would remember something that happened ten days ago? Even if it was embarrassing, it was all in the past.
But now, reminded by her older brother who no longer has any memories of that time, Miaomiao belatedly realized that her brother's memory was still stuck on the moment she was rejected after confessing her love.
If Xie Chenzhou were to return, his memory would likely only be of him rejecting them, and then of a crane or excavator nearly hitting them. There would probably be no more of their shared life-and-death experiences in the mirror world.
Miaomiao could even picture Tan Jiashu frowning on the other end of the phone.
On one side was his younger sister whom he had doted on since childhood, and on the other side was his brother whom he had known for many years. In this matter, he stood on his own side without hesitation.
He must have arranged the transfer to another hospital on purpose, just in case she impulsively went to Xie Chenzhou and suffered another emotional shock.
The Tan family was indeed considered a fairly well-off family in City B, but compared to the Xie family, they were somewhat insignificant, especially since Xie Chenzhou was the only son of the Xie family...
If something really happens, her brother can't take responsibility either, but he still pats his chest in front of her and says, "If anything happens, I'll take responsibility," taking all the possible trouble upon himself.
Hearing the concern and determination in her older brother's tone, and with her parents chiming in quietly, advising her not to be so hard on herself, Miaomiao inexplicably felt a sense of relief, and her stubborn thoughts instantly dissipated.
Let's wait until the other person wakes up before we talk about it.
"Okay, I won't go."
Brother, I was immature before. Chenzhou, it's all up to you now.
Miaomiao responded softly, and after hanging up the phone, she unconsciously rubbed her forehead with her fingertips.
The spot seemed to still hold Xie Chenzhou's last kiss, as light as a feather yet so hot it made her blush and her heart race.
Almost immediately after the doctor said she could go home, Miaomiao was taken home by her parents.
While sitting in the car, Miaomiao was still secretly making excuses for herself.
To Xie Chenzhou, she was just a nobody with only a name, and besides, she had an older brother watching her and was also a chosen one.
As for the almost obsessive hug and the kiss on her forehead when she left the mirror world, it must have been the legendary suspension bridge effect at work.
In the mirror world, where life and death hang by a thread, the two rely on and redeem each other, which leads to an inappropriate and ambiguous illusion. When they return to reality, everything should go back to normal.
Thinking about it this way, the strange flutter in my heart caused by his unusual behavior, as well as the goosebumps that inexplicably rose up, all seemed to have a reasonable explanation.
After Miaomiao got home, she didn't sleep for more than a few hours. Just as dawn was breaking, her brother called.
Xie Chenzhou woke up.
What Miaomiao didn't know was that after Xie Chenzhou woke up and saw the group of people around his hospital bed, he felt a strange sense of loss.
It was as if the person he most wanted to wait for was not there; this was a feeling he had never experienced before.
Especially when she saw Tan Jiashu, she even subconsciously asked, "Where's Miaomiao?"
After asking the question, he lowered his eyes and remained silent. Something seemed to surge in his mind, but then subsided because of the resistance he felt from this world.
