As she spoke, she immediately got up.
"No need." Lin Chuan shook his head, smiling: "Time to get up, wash up, and have breakfast."
"Mhm." Zhou Rui nodded.
In the morning hospital, there were quite a few patients out and about in the back garden, but it was very quiet in this particular ward. Huang Bo hadn't woken up yet, and Zhou Kai's mood was quite low. Even though the surgery had only been five or six hours ago, it felt to them as if an entire night had passed.
Zhou Kai sighed, then said: "Huang Bo still hasn't woken up."
"It hasn't been that long, didn't the doctor say it would take twenty-four hours?" Lin Chuan comforted him: "Trust me, even if he doesn't wake up tonight, he'll definitely wake up tomorrow morning."
"I hope so." Zhou Kai nodded, seemingly not very confident about Huang Bo waking up.
"You should get some more sleep, look how tired you are." Lin Chuan patted Zhou Kai's shoulder.
"Brother Chuan, you should sleep a bit." Zhou Kai said with a wry smile: "If it wasn't for Xiao Rui mentioning it, I wouldn't have even known you stayed up all night."
"I can go three days and nights without sleep, it's fine." Lin Chuan said with a laugh.
"That's not possible." Zhou Kai said in surprise: "A normal person would collapse after seventy-two hours without sleep."
"A quick nap is enough for normal people." Lin Chuan glanced at him.
As they were chatting, suddenly, Zhou Rui behind them exclaimed in surprise: "Ah! He... he... he moved."
Lin Chuan and Zhou Kai were startled by the sound, Lin Chuan quickly asked: "Xiao Rui, what happened?"
"Huang Bo… Huang Bo's hand just moved." Zhou Rui hurriedly said: "I saw his hand move, could it be… could he be awake?"
"Really?" Zhou Kai quickly asked.
"Really, of course it's true." Zhou Rui nodded vigorously, saying: "I saw it with my own eyes."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Kai quickly focused on Huang Bo.
Indeed, Huang Bo's hand moved again.
"Fuck, he's really awake, he's truly awake." Zhou Kai shouted in a hurry: "Bozi, Huang Bo, wake up, please wake up."
"Stop... stop yelling." Huang Bo weakly waved his hand and said, "Can you let someone get a good sleep?"
"You little bastard, hurry up and open your eyes!" Zhou Kai called out repeatedly.
Huang Bo weakly opened his eyes, his gaze unfocused, as if he was feeling the aftermath of a severe illness. He said feebly: "What's the matter? What do you want to do, dammit, can't you let a person sleep properly? That's too much."
"Oh my God." Zhou Rui exclaimed, saying: "He... he's not stuttering when he's speaking."
"Right." Zhou Kai said in surprise: "How come your speech is no longer stuttered?"
Huang Bo was taken aback and said: "Stutter when I speak? No way."
"Holy shit, it's a miracle." Zhou Kai was astonished, he excitedly slapped Huang Bo's face with his hand, saying: "You remember who I am? Quick, say my name."
"Dammit, Zhou Kai, are you insane?" Huang Bo frowned.
"What's... what's her name?" Zhou Kai asked.
"Xiao Rui, Zhou Rui." Huang Bo quickly responded, seeming somewhat confused.
"And him?" Zhou Kai asked again.
"Brother Chuan." Huang Bo looked at Zhou Kai with bafflement and said, "Are you all right, dude? Why do you keep asking me such stupid questions?"
"That's great, that's just great!" Zhou Kai excitedly hugged Huang Bo's head, planting a hearty kiss on his forehead, and said: "The kid is finally okay, it's wonderful."
"Not only is he okay, but his stuttering is gone too." Zhou Rui suddenly burst with joy, saying: "It's like there's good fortune after surviving a big disaster."
"Finally, he's okay." Lin Chuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Yes!" Zhou Rui nodded, saying: "It wasn't in vain that I prayed for so long."
The awakening of Huang Bo caused all three of them to let out a sigh of relief.
However, what surprised them the most was that Huang Bo immediately got up from bed and started walking out of the ward.
"Huang Bo, where... what are you doing?" Zhou Kai watched Huang Bo in astonishment.
"Nature calls." Huang Bo said in haste: "I need to pee, can't hold it anymore."
As he spoke, Huang Bo immediately ran out.
Leaving the three people in the room dumbfounded. Zhou Rui said in amazement: "This guy just had surgery yesterday, and he's up and walking this morning... this... this is too shocking, isn't it? What… what exactly is going on with him?"
"Go get the doctor to have a look," Lin Chuan responded.
"I'll call him!" Zhou Kai scurried out excitedly.
Soon after, the doctor rushed in hastily from outside, astonished to hear that the patient was already up and walking. He had even abandoned his work to rush back here, but when he returned to the ward, he found the bed empty.
"Where is he?" the doctor asked urgently.
"Went to the bathroom," Zhou Rui quickly added.
"He's here!" Zhou Kai pointed towards the door.
Huang Bo looked at them all dumbfounded and said, "What... What's going on? Why is there a doctor?"
"This is a hospital," Zhou Kai said with a smile.
"Quick, lie down, let me have a look," the doctor said in a rush.
Huang Bo had no choice but to lie down as the doctor instructed. After a thorough examination, the doctor didn't find any problems. He quickly said, "Strange, there's nothing wrong at all? Could the healing really be so fast? That seems unlikely!"
"Doctor, there's a problem," Zhou Kai hurriedly said.
"Tell me," the doctor urged with a nod.
"He used to stutter before, but now it's gone," Zhou Kai looked at the doctor with a puzzled face and asked, "What... What's going on here?"
"Really?" the doctor was also surprised.
"I've noticed this as well," Huang Bo quickly said. "I used to stutter, and now it's completely gone."
"Then there's only one explanation," the doctor said earnestly. "The knife wound must have affected the area of your brain responsible for speech, correcting your stutter. Young man, you could say it's a blessing in disguise, but don't get into fights anymore."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Huang Bo immediately nodded, indicating he would not fight again.
Zhou Kai grinned and said, "Doctor, since this guy can get out of bed and walk around, and even jump about, does that mean he can be discharged and go home?"
"That won't do, he needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days," the doctor said quickly.
"I'll observe at home, return to Jiangbei City for observation," Huang Bo said in a hurry.
"Alright!" the doctor instantly nodded and said, "I'll go print your discharge summary and prepare your transfer certificate."
Soon, the discharge procedures were completed in the morning. At 9:30 a.m., the four of them drove back to Jiangbei City. Along the way, Huang Bo didn't stop talking. He seldom spoke before because he was afraid of being made fun of due to his stuttering and afraid that his speech would cause misunderstandings.
These incidents happened so frequently that Huang Bo developed a psychological barrier. Now, this barrier had vanished along with his stuttering. So, Huang Bo was extremely excited, talking nonstop as if cracking a string of firecrackers.
"Zhou Kai, I can finally, finally say a sentence smoothly without taking a breath now," Huang Bo said excitedly, grabbing Zhou Kai's arm before enunciating with thrill, "Look at me, look how smoothly I'm talking now."
"Hey, ancestor, can you be quiet for a moment?" Zhou Kai looked at Huang Bo helplessly and then said annoyedly, "You've been talking the whole way, aren't you tired? Haven't even drank a sip of water, are you not thirsty?"
Huang Bo paused, then laughed, "Not tired, not thirsty. I just want to talk, talk a bit more."
"Goodness, if you want to talk, don't just talk to me," Zhou Kai said with a look of distaste, "Go talk to Xiao Rui or Brother Chuan."
"That won't work, Brother Chuan is driving, I can't disturb him," Huang Bo chuckled, "Xiao Rui is in the passenger seat, she's ignoring me, and only you are beside me, so I talk to you. Kai, don't find me bothersome. We're so close, and I rarely talked to you before, so now I'm just making up for all the times I didn't."
"Bozi, I'm calling you my lord, okay? Just spare me, please!" Zhou Kai's face was a picture of resignation as he continued, "I want to sleep a bit now, I hardly slept last night taking care of you. Can't you let me lie down for I while?"
"Get lost, calf!" Huang Bo, his head wrapped in a bandage, couldn't help but curse.
However, he indeed stopped bothering Zhou Kai, instead gazing out at the scenery through the window and softly humming a tune, though he still sporadically made a remark or two, and Zhou Kai responded casually.
When they returned to Changlin Factory, the Jvyi Gang brothers were all waiting at the factory gates. Tens of people in various colored clothes, to an outsider, it might seem like something had happened. As a result, many uncles, aunts, grandpas, and grandmas from the factory gathered around to watch.
"What are those rascals up to this time?"
"Who knows, maybe they're handing out relief funds for the needy again?"
The curious onlookers, uncles, and aunts were discussing among themselves, the scene was very lively. The transport market used to distribute some necessities like firewood, rice, oil, salt, and a few hundred yuan in subsidies to the poor within the factory. The factory elders spoke highly of this, and although most of them did not receive the money, the good deeds done by Zhou Kai and his friends still spread.
It wasn't long before Lin Chuan's vintage jeep slowly approached the factory gates.
"Here they come, Brother Chuan is here."
"Wow, they really are here."
The crowd immediately swarmed around them.
Lin Chuan hopped out of the car, followed by Zhou Kai, Huang Bo, and Zhou Rui, all getting off in succession.
"Lin Chuan is invincible, Lin Chuan is invincible!"
Ever since the Jvyi Gang was established yesterday before departure, it seemed as though the young members of Changlin Factory suddenly found a strong sense of belonging. They came together naturally to welcome Lin Chuan and his group.
