Chapter 60 - Hurts
"A-Feng, are you awake?" Lian Ji said while wiping away the tears, which wet her beautiful face.
"Where is this, Jiejie? God! What is this?!" Sifeng shouted, confused.
*Jiejie = sister
Sifeng felt so uncomfortable with the medical tubes attached to his body. Sifeng pulled out the IV tube that was on his wrist. Sifeng also threw away the breathing apparatus and other medical devices that were on his body.
"Don't be stupid, A-Feng! What are you doing, huh? Stop all this, A-Feng! Stop removing all those medical devices!" shouted Lian Ji frantically, when he saw his sister pulling out all the medical devices that had supported Sifeng's life these past few days.
Lian Ji was confused by Sifeng's sudden awakening. In fact, Sifeng didn't look like someone who had just woken up from a coma.
Lian Ji patted Sifeng on the shoulder, telling her brother to calm down.
"Calm down, A-Feng! I'll call the doctor to check on you first, okay?" Lian Ji suggested.
However, before Lian stepped foot, Sifeng had already restrained Lian Ji's arm.
"What do you call a doctor for everything, Jiejie?"
Lian Ji was very confused by her brother's behavior.
How in an instant, Sifeng, who had been unconscious for days, was even declared in a coma, suddenly woke up? Sifeng looked fine at the moment, as if nothing had happened before.
Lian Ji was still confused and stupefied for a while. She thought that this might be a hallucination because Lian Ji missed Sifeng so much. So, Lian Ji imagined that Sifeng had woken up unwell by now.
Lian Ji shook her head as she muttered, "No way! I'm actually hallucinating right now!"
"Come on, Jiejie! I was just asleep, why are you treating me like this, huh? Did you treat me like someone who died yesterday?" Sifeng asked. Sifeng kept gently patting Lian Ji's cheek to make his sister realize that this was the truth.
Then, Lian Ji pinched her brother's cheek hard.
"Aakkhh!! Why are you even pinching my cheeks, Jiejie?" Sifeng protested, annoyed.
And it was at this moment that Lian Ji realized that Sifeng had really come to her senses. What she saw was not just a hallucination like Lian Ji had suspected earlier.
"You're exaggerating, Jiejie. I'm just sleeping, why are you treating me like a dying person, huh?!" Sifeng protested again.
"What? You said just sleeping, A-Feng? How can anyone sleep for 5 days without moving, huh? Even your heart rhythm is unstable!" Lian Ji snapped at her brother.
Lian Ji even pinched Sifeng's ear in anger.
Really, now Lian Ji felt annoyed mixed with joy. Glad that her brother had woken up from the coma and upset because of her childish attitude.
"Asshh, why are Lian Jiejie and Yu Gege so happy to persecute me, huh?" Sifeng complained. He always felt oppressed by Yushen and Lian Ji.
Lian Ji only smiled faintly and a moment later sat on the edge of Sifeng's bed. Sifeng was still sitting on his bed at this time.
Lian Ji looked back sadly at Sifeng. Lian Ji stroked her brother's cheek.
"You know, A-Feng? I'm so afraid of losing you both. For your brother is your life," said Lian Ji. He sincerely doted on Sifeng and Yushen at this time. Even though in the past, Lian Ji didn't really care about Yushen and Sifeng.
"Ough... so sweet!" Sifeng pretended to be impressed by what Lian Ji said. "But, save Lian Jiejie's story for another time, okay? I have something to work on with the man with the thin mustache," Sifeng continued.
Sifeng got off the bed to meet Yushen. When his feet just hit the floor, but suddenly Sifeng's head felt very dizzy. Sifeng staggered.
However, Lian Ji acted quickly. Lian Ji had already restrained Sifeng's body before Sifeng fell to the ground.
"You're stubborn, A-Feng! I told you, just lie down! Wait until the doctor comes to examine you!" Lian Ji snapped. She was upset and worried at the same time.
Sifeng nodded and obeyed his sister's words. He didn't want to worry his sister.
Sifeng was helped by Lian Ji to sit back on the edge of the bed. Sifeng said, "Thank you, Jiejie?"
Sifeng was still massaging his head in dizziness. Sifeng thought that his body was too stiff from lying down for too long. So, his sudden movement just now, made Sifeng's world go round and round.
"Are you okay, A-Feng? Which hurts, huh?" Lian Ji asked, worried.
Sifeng smiled and took his sister's hand.
"I'm fine for now, Jiejie. I just slept too long, so my body feels stiff," Sifeng said, not wanting to worry his sister.
Sifeng stretched his stiff muscles. He squirmed a few times.
"What exactly are you sick, A-Feng? Your heart didn't beat for quite a long time, we even thought you were dead when we found you in Yushen's ICU room," Lian Ji said.
Lian Ji looked down sadly. She recalls the incident 5 days ago. Lian Ji found Sifeng lying on the floor in Yushen's infirmary. Lian Ji screamed hysterically when she saw Sifeng wasn't breathing anymore that time. So, now Lian Ji was still worried about Sifeng's condition.
"Tell this sister of yours, A-Feng! Actually, what are you sick of?" Lian Ji asked again.
"What hurts, huh? Hmm...." Sifeng seemed to think of the right answer. "Mentally ill I guess, hahaha!" said Sifeng, jokingly. Sifeng immediately ran away from his sister when he didn't feel dizzy anymore.
"Zhang Sifeng! Why are you still not changing, huh?! Why are you still playing games with me? When did you grow up, you idiot?" Lian Ji shouted, annoyed.
Lian Ji grabbed the IV bag and threw the IV bag towards Sifeng who was still in the doorway. However, fortunately Sifeng managed to dodge.
"I'm an adult, wlee!" Sifeng spoke. He was still at the side of the door sticking his tongue out at Lian Ji. Sifeng mocked his sister.
"Watch out, A-Feng! Just you wait! I'll report you to Papa!" Lian Ji threatened.
Lian Ji chased after Sifeng. They were running in the hallway of this VVIP treatment room. However, Lian Ji couldn't run anymore and let Sifeng escape his pursuit.
Lian Ji looked at Sifeng's back which was getting worse and worse. Her stupid little brother always managed to stir Lian Ji's emotions. Sometimes, Lian Ji was annoyed, angry, worried, happy at the same time by Sifeng.
Lian Ji just shook her head a few times seeing her little brother's attitude.
***
-Kingdom of Fotia-
King Feu'er praised the intelligence of his youngest son, Prince Felius.
"You are great, My Son. This way we can control Gilbert Greyrat and have Vincent Greyrat come personally to our Palace. Hahaha …." King Feu'er said with a triumphant laugh.
Prince Felius laughed along with his father. But, on the other hand, Prince Zarius, the first son of King Feu'er, smiled sinisterly. There is a competition between the princes who master the power of the fire element.
Zarius' gaze fell on his brother, whom he had considered a rival to Zarius. Zarius was very displeased with Felius' success. Zarius was afraid that Felius would step on him. And Felius who is only son number two will take the position of crown prince from Zarius.
***
-Beijing, China-
Zhang Sifeng entered the infirmary while Zhang Yushen was being treated at their uncle's hospital.
Sifeng saw his brother sitting on the back of the bed. Beside Yushen, there was also their Papa.
Master Zhang is feeding Yushen at the moment. At first, Yushen refused. However, Mr. Zhang insisted because he wanted to be able to feed Yushen. In the end, Yushen complied.
Sifeng was still watching Papa and his brother from the doorway. Sifeng smiled at the familiarity of Master Zhang and Yushen.
It felt like it had been a long, long time since Sifeng had not seen them. Since the Zhang Sifeng Identity Scandal that caused the share price in Zhang Group to drop rapidly, Sifeng has been avoiding the Zhang family ever since. Now, Sifeng was embarrassed to meet Papa and his brother.
Sifeng just stood there leaning against the door frame. Sifeng's hands crossed. For a few minutes, Sifeng only watched Master Zhang and Yushen from afar. Sifeng felt a bit awkward to meet them.
"A-Feng! Are you awake, My Son?" asked Mr Zhang after realizing that Sifeng was at the door side, not knowing since when.
Master Zhang rose to his feet. He walked over to Sifeng and hugged his youngest son tightly. Master Zhang really misses his youngest son.
Master Zhang's current feelings were more or less the same as Lian Ji's. They regretted having neglected Sifeng. They also felt guilty for Sifeng's bad luck because of the scandal. Master Zhang even blamed himself for Sifeng being seriously ill these few days.
So, Master Zhang even wanted to cry when he saw that Sifeng was fine.
"Papa is very worried about you, A-Feng," said Master Zhang.
"I'm fine, Papa. Calm down!" Sifeng said.
A moment later, Sifeng's gaze fell on Yushen.
