Chapter 80: UnconsciousnessThe streetlights on both sides of the highway stood straight, like loyal soldiers guarding the last bit of light. The night was no longer dark, and the city was no longer desolate. However, at this moment, Xu Shaoyan was feeling desolate. His heart was heavy, and his face was pale. He had been in a car accident and was now lying in a hospital bed, unconscious.Xu Shaoyan's mother, Zhang Mei, sat beside his bed, holding his hand and crying silently. She had always been a strong woman, but seeing her son like this made her feel helpless."Shaoyan, wake up," she whispered, tears streaming down her face. "Please wake up."Just then, the door to the hospital room opened, and a young woman with a pale face and red eyes walked in. It was Qi Yiyuan, Xu Shaoyan's girlfriend."Auntie Zhang, I'm so sorry," Qi Yiyuan said, bowing her head. "I didn't mean to cause trouble for Shaoyan."Zhang Mei looked up at Qi Yiyuan with a mixture of anger and sadness in her eyes."You're the one who's been causing trouble for my son all along," she said coldly. "Now you come here pretending to be concerned? Don't think I don't know what you're really after."Qi Yiyuan looked down, tears welling up in her eyes. She knew that Zhang Mei had never liked her and thought she was not good enough for Xu Shaoyan."I just wanted to see him," Qi Yiyuan said quietly. "I didn't mean to cause any trouble."Zhang Mei snorted. "You think you can just waltz in here and pretend to care about my son? You're the one who's been playing games with his feelings all along."Qi Yiyuan looked up, her eyes flashing with anger. But she quickly suppressed it, not wanting to make things worse."I'm sorry, Auntie Zhang," she said quietly. "I'll leave now."As Qi Yiyuan turned to leave, Xu Shaoyan's hand suddenly moved. He was trying to say something, but his voice was barely audible."Yi...Yiyuan..." he whispered.Qi Yiyuan stopped in her tracks and turned back to him. She saw that Xu Shaoyan's eyes were still closed, but his lips were moving."Shaoyan?" she said softly, hope rising in her chest.Xu Shaoyan's eyes slowly opened, and he looked up at Qi Yiyuan. For a moment, they just stared at each other, the only sound the beeping of the machines monitoring Xu Shaoyan's vital signs.Then Xu Shaoyan's lips moved again, and he whispered, "Yiyuan...I'm sorry."Qi Yiyuan's face crumpled, and she burst into tears. She rushed to Xu Shaoyan's side and grabbed his hand, holding it tightly."Shaoyan, I'm so glad you're awake," she sobbed. "I was so scared. I thought I was going to lose you."Xu Shaoyan smiled weakly, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. He knew he still had a long way to go, but with Qi Yiyuan by his side, he felt like he could face anything.
