First Assault

First Assault

Cen Xi sat down on the chair outside the operating room. As Luo Yan had requested, he hadn’t told anyone else on the team.

The hospital was bustling with people, but Cen Xi sat alone with his head lowered, his hands clasped together in his lap, motionless, appearing particularly lonely.

“Ding!” The operating room door finally opened. Upon hearing the sound, Cen Xi immediately rushed over to ask about the situation.

“Dr. Liu, how is he?”

“It was a minor surgery, so there’s no need to be nervous. The surgery was successful. The specifics of his recovery will depend on what happens later, but he’ll probably need to stay in the hospital for a week, and then he can go home to recuperate.” Dr. Liu patted Cen Xi on the shoulder. “Dinner time is almost over; go get him some porridge.”

“Okay, okay, thank you, Dr. Liu.” Cen Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

“No need, no need.” Dr. Liu waved his hand. “As long as Director Cen continues to invest in the hospital’s medical equipment.”

Cen Xi smiled. “Don’t worry, Dr. Liu.”

“Alright, then I’ll be going. I’ll come back later to check on him.” Dr. Liu re-entered the operating room.

Cen Xi picked up his phone and called Cen Yi, asking her for a favor. After a few words, he took another look at the operating room and went to the hospital cafeteria to get porridge for Luo Yan.

He’s still not awake… Holding a food container in one hand and a water bottle in the other, Cen Xi tiptoed into the ward. He carefully placed the food container and water bottle on the bedside table, took Luo Yan’s hand in one of his, and rested his head on his other hand, gazing at him affectionately.

“Brother…”

Luo Yan opened his eyes, and a drowsy Cen Xi came into view.

“Hmm?”

Cen Xi was awakened by Luo Yan’s weak voice. “I’m sorry, I fell asleep.”

“You must be hungry, right? I’ll help you get some porridge.”

“Are you thirsty? There’s water here.”

As if suddenly wound up, Cen Xi began to bustle about. First, he opened the lunch box, took out a small bowl from inside, and filled it with porridge. Then, he set up the small table on the bed, placing the porridge and spoon on it. Next, he grabbed a disposable cup, filled it halfway with water, and placed it on the small table as well.

In Luo Yan’s eyes, Cen Xi looked like a clumsy kid, and he couldn’t help but smile.

“Brother, don’t rush around so much. Take a good look at my right hand. Do I have the ability to eat by myself?”

After speaking, Luo Yan even raised his right hand and waved it in front of Cen Xi.

“Don’t move, in case it gets worse.” Cen Xi’s heart fluttered when he saw this, and he quickly stopped Luo Yan’s actions, picked up the porridge, blew on it, and brought it to Luo Yan’s lips.

“It’s not that fragile,” Luo Yan muttered, drinking the porridge that was brought to his mouth. He rebelliously shook his right hand again. “Isn’t it fine?”

Unable to bear it any longer, Cen Xi put down the things in his hand, grabbed Luo Yan’s heavily bandaged right hand. “Luo Shen, SY still needs you, so please don’t move around recklessly. Just focus on recovering!”

Those words hit Luo Yan’s weak spot. He stopped smiling and looked at Cen Xi with a pout. Was he deliberately bringing up painful things? That stinky Cen Xi! That damned Xi Xue!

The effects of the anesthesia hadn’t completely worn off yet, and Luo Yan wasn’t sure to what extent his right hand would recover.

But after the surgery, his worries about not being able to compete lessened for some reason.

Maybe it was because the surgery was successful.

He felt a little relieved.

“I was wrong, I was wrong.” Cen Xi held up the spoon, apologizing incessantly. “The ZD Luo Shen will definitely be able to return to the arena and show off his superb skills again!”

“Don’t praise me to death, Xi-ge.” Luo Yan was particularly pleased with Cen Xi’s words, but reason told him that he couldn’t accept that title. His skills could still improve.

“That’s what you are in my heart.” Cen Xi sensed that Luo Yan’s sulky attitude had softened, and he continued to coax him. “So, could the First One give me some face and drink the porridge?”

“Fine, I guess.” Luo Yan took another sip of porridge. “More!”

“Okay.”

Cen Xi dutifully fed Luo Yan, until he had finished most of the bucket of porridge.

After Luo Yan finished eating, Dr. Liu entered the ward right on schedule to perform a post-operative examination on Luo Yan.
