Chapter 104 The blissful days of being so happy that one forgets everything else
Su Hao was feeling a bit of a headache, a really bad headache.
He blinked, somewhat bewildered, his mind a complete mess, utterly confused as to how he had found himself here the moment he opened his eyes.
"drop--"
"drop--"
The monotonous, steady electronic sound of the heart rate monitor tapped against my eardrums in the empty room.
Su Hao carefully turned his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he immediately caught sight of his mother sitting beside the hospital bed.
That usually gentle face was now tense, filled with a complex mix of emotions.
Even with a magnifying glass, Su Hao would have a hard time distinguishing...
Is she feeling relieved that her beloved son has finally woken up, or is she desperately suppressing her anger that is about to erupt?
"Brother! You're finally awake!"
A face with eyes swollen like two ripe peaches suddenly came closer.
His younger sister, Su Hui, grabbed his hand tightly, with such fierce strength that it seemed as if she was afraid he would be lifted into the air again in the next second.
Only when he felt the scalding heat from his sister's palm did Su Hao's overworked brain finally return to normal.
hum.
He had a sudden realization that he was in deep trouble and knew he had really messed things up!
Memories flooded back, and he clearly remembered that the moment he wrote the last line of the proof on the blackboard, dopamine triggered a supernova-like surge in his cranial cavity!
The exhilaration of solving such a profound mystery is simply indescribable!
But what about a second later?
Blank.
He completely blacked out.
Looking at this scene before me, resembling a three-way trial, with my mother in charge, my sister weeping, and tubes still inserted into my body...
It's obvious to anyone with a brain that after writing the certificate, I absolutely fainted on the spot in a spectacular fashion!
Su Hao's eyes darted around, and he began to subtly survey his surroundings.
The ward was surprisingly large and so clean it was unsettling, giving off an unreal sense of unfamiliarity.
The walls are covered with warm-colored wooden wainscoting, exquisitely crafted, exuding the fragrance of capitalist wealth.
Not only were there fresh flowers placed on the bedside table, but there was also an extravagantly placed leather sofa and a special companion bed by the floor-to-ceiling window not far away.
This doesn't look like a hospital ward; you could easily mistake it for a suite in a five-star hotel!
hiss--!
Su Hao inwardly gasped, quickly making an extremely down-to-earth judgment:
How much does it cost to stay in this hospital room for a day? It's definitely not cheap!
His gaze shifted again, and Su Hao caught a glimpse of the door out of the corner of his eye.
Shen Yuxuan was standing with his arms crossed, his face ashen, leaning straight against the door frame.
Upon seeing Professor Shen personally guarding the place like a gatekeeper, Su Hao's first reaction wasn't about academic achievements at all, but rather—
Damn it! The wind's picking up, let's get out of here! We have to get discharged as soon as possible!
He braced himself on the bed with both hands, just about to grit his teeth and sit up straight, when Shen Yuxuan strode forward.
With an undeniable sense of oppression, she grabbed his shoulder and shoved him back into bed.
"Just lie down and rest for a few more days." Shen Yuxuan glared at him, annoyed.
"The doctor said thankfully there was no serious organic problem, just extreme fatigue and dehydration."
Your task now is to eat well, rest, and recover your energy and spirit!
"Oh well……"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Su Hao obediently lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
According to his originally flawless "perfect cultivation plan"...
He was supposed to finish the entire proof on Sunday night and then erase all drafts and deductions before dawn on Monday.
To accomplish one's task and then leave without a trace, concealing one's merits and fame!
Unfortunately, he underestimated the limits of the human body.
Su Hao clenched his fists tightly in bed, inwardly blaming himself:
The timeline was too tight, and not even a few hours of redundancy were left!
As a result, he ruined himself, causing everyone around him to live in fear and anxiety for no reason.
However, to be fair, although I've been getting a lot of scolding from my mom and teacher while lying in bed these past few days...
But the days spent in the hospital... were actually quite comfortable.
Upon hearing the news, the enthusiastic classmates all clamored in the group chat to form a group to visit the sick person.
Su Hao felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the screen full of concerned messages, and quickly sent a voice message to block them all.
What kind of international joke is this?
He knew perfectly well that this was no serious illness at all.
At most, it was just physical exhaustion leading to dehydration and fainting. The way everyone is making such a fuss about bringing fruit baskets is really over the top.
After declining visits, the quiet ward became his vacation retreat.
During the day, he and his sister Su Hui would get together and carefree share the hospital's specially provided high-quality nutritional meals for patients.
When the night was deep and quiet, after the nurses finished their rounds, the brother and sister would sneakily hide under the covers, take out their phones, and secretly order takeout for a late-night snack.
After eating and drinking their fill, they would sneakily...
The two even pulled out their handheld consoles and thoroughly played through the two-player co-op games they hadn't had time to touch before, spending a truly blissful and carefree time together.
After a few days, Su Hao felt that the headache he had been experiencing, which felt like being pricked by needles, had completely disappeared.
His limbs and bones have fully recovered the abundant strength he once had, as if he could run a half marathon.
Just as he was planning to formally bring up the matter of discharge when the attending physician came to make rounds today, Shen Yuxuan arrived again.
With just one glance, Su Hao sensed that something was wrong.
Unlike the relief he felt when he visited the patient a few days ago, Shen Yuxuan standing in front of the bed now had an unusually stern expression, even exuding a sense of impending doom.
