Quite awkward

Chapter 162 Car accident

Qi Yu's sobs echoed in the phone, and she seemed completely unable to calm down.

Mu Chenan was also very worried about his elder brother's condition. He tried to remain calm and comforted the woman on the other end of the phone in a gentle voice.

"Qi Yu, don't be afraid. I'm leaving for Qingcheng right now. You can cry if you want. Don't hang up the phone. I'll always be with you."

There are no suitable high-speed rail tickets or air tickets at this time. If you want to get to Qingcheng in one night, you can only drive on the highway overnight.

Qi Yu suffered from stress after the car accident, and felt worried for no reason.

"Brother, you must pay attention to the road conditions when driving. If you feel tired, stop immediately and don't go any further."

This morning, Mu Chenan flew back to Linjiang from Qingcheng. He had been busy with work during the day, and he had just learned that his elder brother had been in a car accident. Now he did not have enough energy or mood to drive himself.

"Don't worry, I'll ask the driver to drive."

Without long delay, Mu Chenan got into the car, accompanied by two drivers. The destination of this trip was Qingcheng.

He kept talking to Qi Yu in the car.

During this process, her emotions were hanging in the air and she kept muttering to herself.

"Second brother, eldest brother will be fine, right?"

Mu Chenan's tone was extremely gentle, and he tried his best to calm her down.

"It's going to be fine, I promise you."

The temperature in the hospital was slightly chilly at night. Qi Yu sat on a stainless steel armchair, tucked her knees in and hugged herself tightly, lowered her eyes, and watched the call time on her mobile phone screen skip by second by second.

"Brother has been in there for a long time, why hasn't he come out yet?"

"Be patient and wait. Big Brother will surely come out soon. He will be very happy to see you safe and sound. He will definitely smile and call you Ah Yu. Don't cry when he does. Remember to respond to him promptly."

Mu Chenan sat in the back seat of the car. He looked up and saw the dark night outside. The cars next to him kept speeding forward, leaving a series of blurry light and shadows.

……

Halfway through, a nurse came out of the operating room.

"Who are Mu Yanqing's family members?"

Qi Yu reacted immediately, ran over and blurted out.

"I am, I am his sister, what about my brother?"

The nurse flipped through the report in her hand and explained the situation to the family in a businesslike manner.

"Your brother has an injury to the back of his left hand, a fracture to his right forearm, and a hematoma inside his brain. In layman's terms, it's a concussion."

Qi Yu frowned, extremely worried.

“Is this serious? When will my brother wake up?”

At the end of her words, there was an obvious fragile cry in her voice, which inadvertently aroused the nurse's pity.

The nurse has encountered many people injured in car accidents. She analyzed the situation from a professional perspective: "Don't worry, this situation is not life-threatening. However, there may be sequelae on the hand, such as a noticeable scar on the back of the hand. You may also not be able to use your right hand for a short period of time, and you should not lift heavy objects after recovery. Concussion requires good rest and calmness."

Qi Yu suddenly realized, but the worried mood still remained.

She held the cell phone in one hand while talking, and clutched the hem of her clothes with the other, feeling extremely sorry for her elder brother who had to endure such severe physical pain for no reason.

The nurse handed her a pen and reminded her, "Please sign here first. Your brother is still conscious. We will give him anesthesia for the operation later. He will wake up naturally after the anesthesia wears off."

"That's good. That's good."

Qi Yu's pretty face was covered with traces of dried tears. After a long period of tension and depression, she finally managed to raise the corners of her mouth and felt a little relieved.

The nurse re-entered the operating room.

The phone showed a low battery prompt, and Qi Yu dragged his feet slowly back to his seat.

She put the phone to her ear and whispered to the man on the line, "Second brother, the nurse said that eldest brother's life is not in danger, but he is still seriously injured. I feel very sad."

Just now, Mu Chenan heard the conversation between Qi Yu and the nurse on his mobile phone. He also learned about his elder brother's physical condition after the car accident, which slightly comforted his nervous heart on the road.

"Qi Yu, Big Brother is a very strong man. Just wait for him outside the operating room. I'll take care of the rest."

"Brother, I trust you very much."

Her voice was soft and pleasant after she calmed down, and this sentence carried a great sense of dependence. Mu Chenan's heart trembled slightly when he heard it. He was determined to make her feel more at ease.

"Big Brother is not just your big brother, he is also my biological brother. I promise to give him the best rehabilitation treatment."

……

When the phone had almost no battery left, Qi Yu suggested ending the call.

Mu Chenan, however, was worried and kept asking her, "Do you really not need me to accompany you any longer? I'm worried that you'll be scared sitting alone in the cold chair in the hospital."

"No, brother, you can sleep in the car for a while, I will wait for you to come over."

"it is good."

-

Four o'clock in the morning.

In the hospital ward, Qi Yu gently wrung out a clean towel soaked in hot water, leaned over and carefully wiped the dust and bloodstains off Mu Yanqing's face, and the warm towel gently brushed across his eyebrows.

In his sleep, his brows were tightly furrowed and his breathing was slightly rapid.

I don’t know if I’m having a nightmare about a car accident.

An hour ago, Mu Yanqing woke up briefly. He felt pain all over his body. The doctor checked his condition and left after finding that he was fine.

At that time, Qi Yu was standing at the end of the bed, and their eyes met. Mu Yanqing wanted to speak, but even the simple action of opening his mouth became extremely difficult for him.

But seeing that she was safe and sound, the peace in his heart soon made him fall asleep again.

Time goes back to the present moment. Qi Yu carefully wiped his fingers with a towel and saw the layers of white gauze wrapped on the back of his hand. Gradually, crystal tears hung on her eyelashes, about to fall, as if telling her sadness.

The glass pierced my flesh and caused a lot of blood to flow. It must have been an unimaginable pain.

When Mu Yanqing just woke up, he didn't let out a cry of pain, but accepted his current situation after the car accident completely calmly.

Qi Yu knew that although he had a strong and unyielding personality, he always endured everything silently and did not want to distract her and worry.

The ward is equipped with a foldable nursing chair, which can be transformed into a simple bed when unfolded.

The nurse considerately brought her a set of pillows and quilts so that she could have a place to rest after experiencing a thrilling car accident.

The air in the hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Qi Yu didn't like the smell. After she lay down, she tilted her head to look at the man lying on the hospital bed. Seeing him lying there peacefully, and still able to hear his faint breathing in her ears, she finally felt a little at ease in her heart.

After just a few minutes, her eyelids could no longer support her droop and her body was completely shrouded in fatigue. She slowly closed her eyes, emptied her mind, and fell into a deep sleep.

-

Muchenan stopped at a gas station fifty kilometers away from Qingcheng. They changed drivers once along the way. After a brief rest, the group hurried back on the road.

He raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch. It was less than two hours until dawn.

His heart was in turmoil that night, and all his worries were on the two people in Qingcheng.

He rolled down the car window, and the slightly cool breeze of the spring night rushed into the car, enough to keep him clear-headed after a sleepless night.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Chenan received messages from Qi Yu intermittently.

11pm.

Qi Yu: [Big Brother is out of the operating room. I think he looks very unwell.]

Muchenan: [Ask the doctor.]

Qi Yu: [The doctor told me not to worry, the fracture surgery was successful.]

zero point.

Qi Yu: [Big brother's hands are temporarily unusable. He really shouldn't have come to Qingcheng to see me this time. It's all my fault. I passed on my bad luck to him.]

Mu Chenan: [Baby, don't blame yourself, you are the lucky star.]

Two o'clock in the morning.

Qi Yu: [Big brother just woke up for a moment. He must have been in a lot of pain. After a while, he fell asleep again.]

Mu Chenan: [Then you should find a place to sleep. I don’t think I’ll be at the hospital until daybreak.]

-

On this day, Qingcheng was surrounded by a gray sky, and when dawn came, the natural light was dim.

Mu Yanqing slowly opened his eyes, and his senses fully recovered, but he was instantly surrounded by pain.

He couldn't help but gasp in pain and raised his right hand very slowly, only to see that the forearm of that hand was tightly wrapped in a thick plaster.

In comparison, the elbow joint of his left hand was still quite flexible. He stretched his hand out from the quilt. The back of his hand to the palm was wrapped in a circle of white gauze, and a trace of blood was faintly visible on the gauze.

He struggled to sit up from the bed, scanned the ward, and finally found Qi Yu sleeping soundly in the corner of the room.

Then he got out of bed and walked to the bed with difficult and staggering steps.

He really wanted to know if Qi Yu was hurt. He lowered his eyes and looked at her gentle and peaceful sleeping face. For some reason, it was like a light feather fell on his heart, and his emotions gradually became filled.

Fortunately she's fine.

It wasn't until Mu Yanqing slowly squatted down and his eyes accidentally fell on her bruised and swollen wrist that he suddenly felt like a piece of his heart was missing.

It turned out that she was injured in the car accident, but she was indifferent to herself and let the wound be exposed without treatment.

At the moment before the car accident, he quickly hugged Qi Yu tightly in his arms, thinking that this would ensure that she would be unharmed.

However, the impact of the car accident was so strong that even though he tried his best to protect her, she still suffered physical pain.

Mu Yanqing felt an urge to hold her hand, but when he looked down at his own injured hands, he had no choice but to give up the idea.

At that time, after the anesthetic effect wore off, he gradually regained consciousness. Although everything in front of him was still a little blurry, all his attention was focused on Qi Yu who was standing at the end of the bed.

She looked nervous and worried, with tears in her eyes, and she felt like she was about to cry.

He really wanted to tell her that he was fine, but his throat seemed to be stuck and he couldn't utter a word.

At this moment, Mu Yanqing lowered one leg and maintained the posture of kneeling on one knee, just looking at her sleeping quietly, but it seemed that he could not see enough, so he maintained this posture for a long time and was unwilling to leave.

Although there was a lot of noise outside the ward in the morning, this corner still maintained its unique tranquility.

Suddenly, an idea that he had never had before arose in his mind, which made him very puzzled.

He struggled for a while, then closed his eyes and straightened up slightly.

The next second, a light kiss landed gently on the corner of Qi Yu's mouth, lasting only two seconds.

This kiss was free of any distractions, only careful care and delicate love.

Qi Yu was unaware of anything and was still sleeping soundly.

……

On this quiet morning, everything seemed normal.

Mu Yanqing slowly stood up, his eyes filled with nostalgia, and he was determined to leave this corner and return to the hospital bed.

But he didn't know that there was a man standing quietly at the door of the ward, watching the scene that had just happened through the glass window.

In an instant, a deep crack seemed to be cut into the man's handsome face. He clenched his fists and pressed them against the door frame, and the veins on his forehead twitched violently.

But at the moment he officially witnessed it, Mu Chenan did not choose to rush into the ward directly. He just suppressed his inner restlessness and jealousy and watched silently.

Looking at his elder brother's weak and powerless back, it was like a barrier blocking his sight, and he could only helplessly watch his elder brother gently kiss Qi Yu.

After the barrier was removed, he once again saw Qi Yu sleeping quietly in the corner from afar through the glass, but he felt that everything seemed to have changed.

Mu Chenan's thoughts were completely shattered, and even simple thinking became very difficult.

He turned and left the ward, took the elevator downstairs, stood by the flower bed in the hospital, lit a cigarette for himself, and couldn't stop thinking about it.

Doesn’t big brother treat Qi Yu as just a sister?

Why did he kiss her suddenly?

Qi Yu has always liked the eldest brother.

And the eldest brother also responded to her silently in the way that men and women express their love.

Have they decided to be together?

Or, without his knowledge, the two had been maintaining an ambiguous relationship for some time.

But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed wrong. It was clearly Mu Chenan, not Mu Yanqing, who slept with Qi Yu two nights ago.

Which link did the problem occur?

What detail did he miss?

What is the relationship between the two of them?

Mu Chenan’s head felt like it was going to explode.

He wanted to know, his elder brother clearly said that he only treated Qi Yu as a sister, so why did he change his attitude so quickly after a car accident?

He wanted to know, apart from that kiss, had there been any other intimate acts between them?

He needs to know, now, does his elder brother treat him as a younger brother or as a love rival?
