Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070: Can You Call Me That Again?

Lian He’s eyes turned red with emotion, worried about waking Tang Yue, he suppressed his excitement and said, "Rest assured, I will definitely take good care of my injuries and not let you worry."

"Mm."

Si Yu stood up and gently adjusted the blanket on Tang Yue. He said, "Dad, I still have things to do and need to go out for a bit. I’ll come back to see you later. Make sure to tell Xiao Yue not to run around, and make sure she’s accompanied wherever she goes."

"Don’t worry, I’ve already stationed people around the hospital, and there are also guards at the door of the ward, ensuring that nothing will go wrong."

Gu Chun patted his chest and promised, if Lian Tong found out he didn’t protect Lian He and Tang Yue, she’d definitely be furious with him.

Si Yu looked reluctant to leave Tang Yue, but in the end, he had to go out. Although Brother Biao was caught, there were still many issues to deal with afterward.

Si Yu had just reached the hospital entrance when he ran into Lian Qingyang, who had just arrived and hadn’t slept in worry all night. His eyes were still bloodshot. Being travel-worn, he rushed up to Si Yu at first sight and asked, "Is my sister okay? I heard my dad got injured; how is he? Where are you going so early in the morning?"

"Your sister is fine. Dad was shot, and he’s recuperating now." Si Yu gave him the specific ward number.

Lian Qingyang took a couple of steps and asked again, "Si Yu, are you heading out again for something?"

Si Yu: "..."

"You..." Lian Qingyang rushed forward and demanded, "I heard that when my sister was kidnapped, you were on a business trip?"

Si Yu lowered his gaze, hiding the guilt and remorse in his eyes.

Lian Qingyang stood before Si Yu, filled with accusations he wanted to voice, but in the end, he said nothing, feeling as if his strength had been drained. "When my sister was in trouble, I didn’t even know."

On the way there, Lian Qingyang’s heart soared as if on a plane, and upon arriving in Su City and hearing from his uncle that Xiao Yue had been rescued, and that his father had taken a bullet, his heart partially settled.

Even though his uncle said Lian He was out of danger and just needed to recuperate, without seeing Lian He’s condition firsthand, Lian Qingyang couldn’t put his mind at ease.

"Xiao Yang." Si Yu understood what Lian Qingyang was concerned about, but he himself didn’t know how his identity got leaked. He didn’t want to avoid it, only wanted to get to the bottom of it and eliminate all potential dangers.

"Brother-in-law, you don’t have to say it. If possible, you’d even give your life to save my sister, wouldn’t you?" Lian Qingyang raised his head, staring directly into his eyes.

"What do you think?"

Si Yu countered with a question instead of answering, his firm gaze already conveyed his intentions.

Lian Qingyang pressed his lips, saying, "Brother-in-law, go get busy, just hope you find more time to accompany my sister, she may seem strong on the outside, but inside, she’s just as fragile and needs your company at times like this."

With that, Lian Qingyang strode into the hospital.

Si Yu watched his departing figure, feeling a sense of Lian Qingyang growing up.

"Dad." Lian Qingyang pushed open the door and entered, seeing Lian He lying on the hospital bed, looking pale, with strands of white in his hair, suddenly feeling his father seemed to have aged quite a bit.

"Keep it down."

Lian He gestured for Lian Qingyang to be quiet.

"Xiao Yang’s here?"

Tang Yue awoke as soon as she heard Lian Qingyang’s voice. Following the sound, it was indeed Lian Qingyang. Unlike his usual impeccably groomed appearance, today, his hair was messy, looking a bit comical.

"Sister, sorry for waking you." Lian Qingyang walked into the ward, greeted his uncle, and looked worriedly at Lian He.

"It’s fine."

Tang Yue stood up, seeing Lian He awake. She exclaimed with joy, "Dad, you’re awake, is there any discomfort? Are you hungry?"

Dad.

Lian Qingyang froze, looking at Tang Yue with disbelief. Did his sister acknowledge Dad during such a short time apart?

He was truly happy.

Lian Qingyang couldn’t help but have tears in his eyes, having always hoped his sister would acknowledge Dad.

Lian He was even more excited than when Si Yu called him previously, his eyes quickly filling with tears. His lips trembled with words he wanted to say to Tang Yue, yet in the end, he couldn’t utter a single word.

Her call of ’Dad’ was the sweetest sound in the world, making his heart pound with excitement, incomparable to any billion-dollar deal.

"Dad, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Wait, I’ll get a doctor." Seeing Lian He’s expression, Tang Yue thought he was uncomfortable and hurriedly ran out to call a doctor.

In the ward, the only calm person, Gu Chun, quickly grabbed Tang Yue, saying, "Xiao Yue, your dad is fine, he’s just too excited."

Tang Yue realized belatedly about her slip of tongue the previous day. Naturally, she called again, without giving it much thought. Now, seeing Lian He’s excited look, she felt awkward instead.

"Xiao Yue, can you call me that again?" Lian He said with a trembling voice, his tear-filled eyes blurring his vision, knowing full well that his daughter was the most beautiful.

Seeing him so excited, Tang Yue’s awkwardness vanished, and she sweetly called, "Dad."

"Yes." With a face full of laughter, Lian He, aged and lined with years, had eyes gleaming with happiness.

"Dad." Lian Qingyang stepped forward, calling out as well.

"Yes."

Lian He smiled cheerfully, feeling rather that this injury was worthwhile!

"Dad."

"Dad."

Tang Yue and Lian Qingyang exchanged a glance, both calling out in unison with great understanding.

"Good."

Lian He laughed until tears came out, proudly looking at Tang Yue and Lian Qingyang, his son and daughter, his greatest pride in this life.

The ward was filled with laughter and joy.

"Sister Qing, where’s Wu Xin?"

Tang Yue hadn’t seen Wu Xin since seeing her outside the operating room last night while waiting for Lian He.

"She went back to the base." Bai Qing diverted the topic, saying, "Xiao Yue, I found another girl for you, what do you think?"

Bai Qing called the girl over.

"Miss Tang." The girl introduced herself, "My name is Ding Ling."

The girl looked sweet and seemed petite and slender.

"Hello." Tang Yue greeted the girl, then turned her gaze back to Bai Qing, steadily looking at her and said, "Sister Qing, this incident isn’t related to Wu Xin, you’re not punishing her, are you?"

"No, she’s been by your side for so many years without improving her skills, she volunteered to go to the base." Bai Qing said this easily, for indeed, Wu Xin volunteered to go to the base.

"Really?"

Tang Yue clearly didn’t believe her, saying, "Sister Qing, Wu Xin is very good, I feel..."

"Xiao Yue, I’ll let you call her." Bai Qing dialed the phone and handed it to Tang Yue.
