Chapter 314 Love Gives Human Flesh and Blood

Xiang Nanfang reached out to Lin Yuan, his voice trembling: "Senior brother, don't scare me."

However, his fingertips pierced through his palm without any resistance.

Lin Yuan looked at her, his gaze tender and sorrowful: "Take good care of yourself from now on, and don't hate me."

Xiang Nanfang's eyes instantly reddened, and large tears rolled down her cheeks. She choked back sobs, blaming herself, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

Lin Yuan subconsciously raised his hand to wipe away her tears, but could only watch as his fingers passed through her cheek.

"Junior sister, smile." He comforted her softly. "This is my choice. You don't need to regret it, and you mustn't blame yourself. My greatest wish is for you to be safe and sound. Everyone has to leave eventually. I'm already very content with my life."

Xiang Nanfang shook his head desperately, sobbing uncontrollably, "No, I don't want you to leave! I want you to stand alive in front of me. Even... even if there's someone else in your heart, I don't care!"

"Don't cry, or I'll be reluctant to leave."

Lin Yuan sat down by the bed, gazing at her with deep affection. His illusory hand gently touched her cheek, and he leaned down to kiss her pale lips.

His hands went under her back, just like he had held her warm and soft body countless times before.

The next moment, a warm sensation spread from their touching skin, and Lin Yuan's illusory figure solidified into a physical form amidst their entanglement, as if he had been given flesh and blood by love.

Xiang Nanfang was overjoyed and surprised. She wrapped her fair hands around his neck, responding deeply to him as if she had returned to the time when they were deeply in love.

The two kissed passionately, and even when they could hardly breathe, they were unwilling to let go. She held Lin Yuan tightly and even pressed his large hand against her chest, wanting him to feel her intense heartbeat.

She was afraid that once the kiss ended, her senior brother would leave again.

It was unknown how long it had been before the two reluctantly parted.

The lingering warmth of the kiss still lingered between Xiang Nanfang's lips and teeth. Her pale lips glistened with moisture as she gazed tenderly at Lin Yuan.

"Take good care of yourself..." Lin Yuan's gaze was filled with longing, and his figure gradually blurred.

The moonlight that had just shone into the bedroom suddenly disappeared, plunging the room into darkness.

"Brother!"

Xiang Nanfang suddenly woke up from the bed with a start, her back soaked with cold sweat. She gasped for breath, and could still vaguely feel the lingering warmth on her lips, but all that remained in front of her was an empty room, with no sign of Lin Yuan.

"Is it a nightmare?"

Xiang Nanfang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling a chill run through his body. Without thinking, he hurriedly started dressing and stumbled towards the door.

Hearing the commotion, Xiang's mother came out of the room, put on her clothes, and seeing her daughter's flustered appearance, hurriedly asked, "Nanfang, where are you going so late?"

The Xiang family lived in a three-story villa, and Xiang Nanfang's undisguised descent downstairs could not be hidden from them.

"Mom, I need to go to the hospital."

"You're still going so late?" Mrs. Xiang frowned, her voice full of worry.

Xiang Nanfang didn't answer; he was only focused on seeing Lin Yuan as soon as possible.

At this moment, Mr. Xiang also came out after hearing the noise. Seeing his daughter's anxious look, he said, "Let your brother take you there."

They were worried about letting Xiang Nanfang, a young woman, go out alone at this hour.

They had heard from their daughter that Lin Yuan was seriously injured in the accident while trying to save her.

As for the deeper question of why Lin Yuan was with his daughter, they couldn't find out and didn't press him further.

Xiang Beifang was woken up in a daze.

Although he wasn't fully awake, he was still very concerned about his sister.

Xiang Nanfang has been crying his eyes out these past few days, and every time he comes back, he looks worried and distressed.

He, as the older brother, was also heartbroken.

He got on his motorcycle, picked up his sister, and drove towards Gulou Hospital.

In the night sky, the twinkling stars shimmered like inlaid jewels, reminding Xiang Nanfang of the nights she and Lin Yuan spent counting stars together on campus.

Senior brother, you must be alright.

As soon as the motorcycle came to a stop in front of the hospital, Xiang Nanfang jumped off and sprinted towards the inpatient department.

Xiang Beifang parked the car and shouted loudly from behind, "Nanfang, wait for me!"

Xiang Nanfang ran all the way to the ward and saw several doctors gathered at the door of Lin Yuan's ward from afar. The doctors were whispering to each other and talking amongst themselves.

Wu Xiulan and Qiao Sanli stood to the side, their faces solemn.

Her heart leaped into her throat, and she rushed forward to grab Qiao Sanli's arm: "Sanli, how is my senior brother?"

Qiao Sanli was taken aback, clearly not expecting her to appear in the middle of the night: "I'm not quite sure either."

At this moment, the doctor came over and said, "The patient only has electrolyte imbalance. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. As long as some IV fluids are administered, he should be fine."

Xiang Nanfang's tense shoulders finally relaxed, and she breathed a long sigh of relief. She was prepared to stay here tonight and didn't plan to go back.

Wu Xiulan frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask, "When will he wake up?"

"Well, that's hard to say..."

That noon, Wen Xue, Wen Ju'an, and Ma Suqin, who was holding a child, flew back to Nanjing from Yanjing.

He Qinghuan arrived yesterday and is currently sitting on a bench in the hospital corridor.

They learned about Lin Yuan's current situation from Sun Xiaomo, and to their utter surprise, it was far more serious than they had imagined. Their eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Wu Xiulan stood at the door of the ward, watching these young girls with red eyes taking turns to guard her son's bedside. She never expected that so many beautiful girls would surround her son.

I thought to myself, surely they can't all be my son's girlfriends.

She recognized Ma Suqin; she used to run a small shop in Shamao Lane, and they had dealt with each other quite a bit. Later, she heard that Ma Suqin had been recruited into her son's company.

But what bothered her even more was that the chubby little face of the child in Ma Suqin's arms looked somewhat like Lin Yuan's.

Surely the child in her arms isn't her son?

She opened her mouth as if to ask, but seeing Chang Xingyu beside her, she swallowed her words for the time being, thinking that she would find another opportunity to talk to Ma Suqin when there were fewer people around.

In the afternoon, Lin Yuan's private hospital room was quiet.

Lin Yuan's women were all waiting outside the ward, except for Qiao Sanli, who stayed behind and was gently wiping Lin Yuan's body.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan's fingers trembled slightly.

Qiao Sanli's face lit up with surprise: "Brother, are you awake?"

Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes. The light, which he hadn't seen in a long time, made him feel a little uncomfortable. He subconsciously squinted, his voice hoarse and weak: "Sanli..."

Qiao Sanli could no longer contain her excitement, and her soft body suddenly threw herself into Lin Yuan's arms.

Lin Yuan gently stroked Qiao Sanli's head with his bandaged hand.

The next moment, Lin Yuan frowned, his expression showing a hint of pain, and forced a smile as he said, "You're making it hard for me to breathe."

Qiao Sanli hurriedly moved away from Lin Yuan's body and apologized, "Brother, I didn't mean to."

Lin Yuan gently shook his head: "It's nothing."

Qiao Sanli quickly pressed the call bell next to the hospital bed and said, "I'll go tell Mom."

With that, she ran briskly out of the ward.

"Mom, my brother is awake."

Wu Xiulan was the first to rush into the ward, followed by a large group of beautiful women.

At the same time, the doctor quickly walked in and began to carefully examine Lin Yuan's physical condition, then asked, "Do you recognize all these people?"

Lin Yuan glanced at everyone in front of the hospital bed and smiled: "Mom, Sanli, Xingyu, Nanfang, Suqin, Sister Wen, Teacher Wen, Ju'an, Xiaomo, Qinghuan... You're all here."

After confirming that Lin Yuan was conscious, the doctor continued, "Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"

"My head is still spinning, and my legs... I can't muster any strength at all." Lin Yuan tried to move his legs, but found them as heavy as lead and completely unresponsive.

The doctor nodded, speaking cautiously: "You suffered a head injury and multiple fractures. The recovery process will be lengthy. Please let us know immediately if there are any new developments."

The doctors left the ward. They had already told the family the cruelest truth beforehand, and they couldn't bear to tell Lin Yuan the same thing.

Lin Yuan rubbed his temples and asked, "How long have I been lying here?"

“Brother, you’ve been asleep for three days now,” Qiao Sanli said softly.

"I never thought I'd be alive again." Lin Yuan smiled and tried to sit up, but Wu Xiulan quickly pressed him down.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet, don't rush to get up." Wu Xiulan's voice was choked with tears.

Lin Yuan looked around, noticing the evasive gazes of the crowd: "The doctor is being evasive. What is the extent of my injury? How long will it take to recover?"

Wu Xiulan turned her face away and secretly wiped away her tears.

The others remained silent; some bit their lips and gazed out the window, while others had moist eyes that were misty with tears.

"Sanli, tell me," Lin Yuan stared intently at Qiao Sanli, "My injuries... are very serious, aren't they?"

Qiao Sanli shook her head, her voice trembling: "It's not serious."

Lin Yuan laughed lightly, pretending to be relaxed: "It's no use hiding it from me. I'll find out sooner or later. Are you planning to keep it from me forever? If you don't tell me, I'll go ask the doctor."

Qiao Sanli's tears finally broke free: "Brother... the doctor said that your... your chances of standing up again are very low..."

She was still a young girl after all. When Lin Yuan was unconscious, she only thought about her brother waking up. But when Lin Yuan actually woke up, she couldn't help but worry about her brother's leg.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

All eyes were on Lin Yuan, fearing that the proud figure would completely collapse the next second.

Lin Yuan's smile froze on his face. He subconsciously tried to move his legs again, but his lower limbs were still numb.

But soon, he flashed a bright smile, "Since there is still hope, why are you all frowning? Don't you believe in me? I was born to create miracles."

He glanced at the group of people, whose eyes were red, and said calmly, "You can all go out first. I'll talk to you later. I want to talk to my mom and Sanli for a while."

The group looked back every few steps as they slowly retreated.

Lin Yuan said softly, "I'm sorry to have worried you." Wu Xiulan trembled as she stroked the back of his hand, "You've suffered so much, you child..."

"Life is just one hurdle after another," Lin Yuan paused, "You didn't give Nanfang a hard time because of this, did you?"

"You mean that girl with short hair? Why would Mom make things difficult for her? But she said she's your girlfriend, is that true?"

Lin Yuan replied, "Really."

Wu Xiulan asked, "So you and Xingyu have broken up now?"

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly and uttered two words: "No."

Wu Xiulan's eyes widened, and her voice rose: "Aren't you dating two girls at the same time?"

Qiao Sanli came to Lin Yuan's rescue, saying, "Brother is so outstanding, it's normal that everyone likes him and is willing to stay by his side."

Wu Xiulan sighed and asked again, "What are your relationships with those girls outside?"

"Some are my subordinates, and some are my friends. By the way, there's something I've been keeping from you."

Wu Xiulan's heart tightened, and she blurted out, "What is it?"

"I have a son."

"What?" "Huh?" Wu Xiulan and Qiao Sanli exclaimed almost simultaneously.

"The child that Ma Suqin is holding is my own."

After all, they had been separated for half a year, and the child was still a bit unfamiliar with him; otherwise, he would have already sweetly called him "Dad."

Wu Xiulan and Qiao Sanli stood there dumbfounded for a long time before they came to their senses. Even though Wu Xiulan had some guesses, she was still completely stunned.

"Anyway, it was an accident. Just know that, and don't show it in front of outsiders." Lin Yuan gave a wry smile, then said seriously, "Don't worry too much about my leg. The doctor said there's still hope. Don't you have any faith in me?"

Wu Xiulan wiped her eyes and said firmly, "Mom believes you."

Qiao Sanli nodded vigorously: "I believe it too!"

"Please call Xingyu and Nanfang in for me."

After watching the two leave, Lin Yuan dipped his finger in the water in the cup and wiped it around his eyes, making it look like his tears were still wet.

Chang Xingyu and Xiang Nanfang walked to the side of the bed and sat on the left and right sides respectively.

Lin Yuan looked around and explained with a smile, "Sanli was feeding me water just now, and she didn't hold the cup properly, so some water spilled on my face."

The two women understood what was going on, but they couldn't bear to expose him. They had seen Lin Yuan wiping away tears on his face before they came in.

They would find it strange if Lin Yuan didn't feel dejected.

Having spent so much time with Lin Yuan, they all knew that he was a proud and ambitious person, as well as someone with a pioneering spirit. Otherwise, he wouldn't always be able to come up with all sorts of ingenious methods. For someone like him, losing the ability to walk must have been an unimaginable blow.

Both women grasped Lin Yuan's hands.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but think that being hit by a big truck was still worth it.

The next step is to find an opportunity and a reason to put these two girls together.

Chang Xingyu is as gentle as a chrysanthemum, and Xiang Nanfang is as kind and gentle as an orchid.

The thought of their shy expressions made him feel a little itchy.

After all, anyone with a sense of shame wouldn't be embarrassed.

But isn't that what makes it interesting?

"I've never dared to speak frankly with you before, but now I finally have the chance." Lin Yuan withdrew his hand, his expression somber.
“You are all good girls. It is my greed that has led to this situation. I am afraid my life is ruined. Don’t waste any more time on me. Just pretend... you never knew me.”

Lin Yuan's tactic of "retreating to advance" proved effective.

"No matter what you become, for better or for worse, I will never leave you in this lifetime."

"Senior brother, how can I live without you? You can't even imagine how heartbroken and helpless I feel after losing you..."

Lin Yuan lowered his eyelashes and said in a pretentious tone, "The more you act like this, the more guilty I feel..."

"Don't think about these things for now." Chang Xingyu forced himself to calm down. "The most important thing right now is to recover from your injuries."

Xiang Nanfang nodded repeatedly: "You will definitely get better!"

Lin Yuan suddenly looked at the two women and said, "Let's make a bet."

"If I can stand up again, you will all stay by my side and be my women." Lin Yuan paused, his expression dejected, closed his eyes, and let out a bitter laugh. "If I can't stand up within a year, then forget about me."

The two women clearly had more to say.

The two women were about to speak at the same time, but he cut them off: "If you don't agree, leave now."

Both women felt that Lin Yuan was trying to force them to leave in this way, not wanting to waste too much of their youth.

They had both made up their minds that no matter what Lin Yuan said, they would not leave.

Especially for Xiang Nanfang, Lin Yuan was such a caring person to her, even forbidding her from associating with other men, and now he actually wanted to kick her out. This huge contrast made her feel even more sorry for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had no idea what was going on; he was thinking about realizing his grand ambition.

Lin Yuan raised his hand to wipe away their tears, but since he couldn't reach them, the two women simultaneously bent down and pressed their faces against his palm.

"Stop crying, all of you. I'm sorry to have troubled you these past few days. Go back and rest, study hard, and come back when you have time."

Both women were reluctant to part.

Lin Yuan squeezed their hands and said with a smile, "Don't worry about me. With two beautiful women like you, I'm sure I'll recover."

After Chang Xingyu and Xiang Nanfang left, looking back every few steps, Lin Yuan called out directly to the door, "Suqin, Xiaomo, Qinghuan, come in."

The three women pushed open the door and entered. Ma Suqin was still holding Lin Xin in her arms, her eyes filled with tears.

"Alright, alright, they say women are made of water, and I've certainly experienced that now. The tears you've shed today could drown me."

"I've woken up, and I'm fine; it's just a minor injury. When have I ever let down the people who support me?"

"Xiao Mo, you and Su Qin should take on the responsibility of the Lin Group together. I don't want my group to collapse after I'm discharged from the hospital."

"Qinghuan, you too. Also, if Suqin is too busy, please take care of Youyou."

"Suqin, if anyone in the group takes this opportunity to cause trouble or make things difficult, don't hold back. Make a clear list of all the partners who want to take advantage of my misfortune. I will settle accounts with them one by one after I am discharged from the hospital."

Lin Yuan's voice was ruthless, leaving no room for doubt about his determination.

Lin Yuan chatted with them for a long time, his tone confident and certain, finally coaxing Ma Suqin to show a long-lost smile.

After they left, Wen Qinghua led Wen Xue and Wen Ju'an in quickly.

With no one else present, Wen Ju'an, his eyes red-rimmed, threw himself into Lin Yuan's arms, his shoulders trembling violently, his voice choked with sobs:

"Brother Lin Yuan, what happened to you?"

Lin Yuan patted Wen Ju'an's slender back. "It's okay. Didn't the doctor say there's still hope? Even if you really can't stand up, it's alright. I've been far enough in this life. I still have these hands. I can write and draw. I won't really become a cripple."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wen Xue scolded, "You can definitely get back up. When have you ever admitted defeat?"

Lin Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps this is fate. Travelers die on their way home, guides die when they get lost, and as a sprinter, I have to pay the price by losing my legs."

Wen Ju'an raised his head, tears glistening on his eyelashes: "I want to change my wish. I just want you to stand up."

Lin Yuan wiped away Wen Ju'an's tears, patted her back, and comforted her, "Okay, I promise you, I will definitely stand up."

Wen Qinghua comforted him, "Yes, this is just a small test from heaven."

"Don't worry, I've never lost in my life, and this time will be no different."

Wenxue asked, "How did you get hit by the car? Given your reaction time, it shouldn't have happened."

"It happened so suddenly, and I had a girl with me, so..." Lin Yuan stopped talking and asked, "How many days have you and Ju An been back this time?"

"I came here with an exclusive interview with you, so I can stay longer. But Ju'an..."

……

Night falls.

Wu Xiulan, who had stayed by the hospital bedside for several days, had dark circles under her eyes. After Lin Yuan's repeated insistence, she finally agreed to go home to rest and bring some clothes with her.

Qiao Sanli stayed by Lin Yuan's bedside.

She was a light sleeper, and upon hearing a faint sound coming from Lin Yuan's bed, she immediately asked softly, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Lin Yuan felt a little embarrassed. "I need to... go to the toilet."

Qiao Sanli immediately got up to get something to use and reached out to pull back his blanket.

Lin Yuan pressed his waistband and refused, saying, "No, go and call the nurse over."

"Brother, don't be shy. These past few days, when I've been helping you bathe, I've been..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Sanli's cheeks flushed red. She lowered her head in embarrassment, her voice barely audible.

"If you treat me like a sister, so what? If you don't, that's fine too... Anyway, we're not related by blood, so you don't need to worry."

After resolving the matter, he cleared his throat and asked, "Have you been missing classes these past few days?"

Qiao Sanli hummed in agreement, her voice trailing off softly.

"Then you should go to sleep now and go back to class tomorrow."

The main problem is that she's always here, which not only causes him to fall behind in his studies, but also leaves him with no time to be intimate with other girls at night.

"Brother, I'm not going to class tomorrow."

Lin Yuan said in a deep voice, "How can we skip class?"

"Tomorrow is Sunday, no classes."

Lin Yuan was silent for a while before uttering a muffled "Oh," and then said, "I'm sleepy."

A soft, suppressed laugh came from the ward.
