Chapter 16: I've Always Been There

Night, Hongquan City, Naval Hospital.

Jiang Yifan, who was gradually waking up on the hospital bed, saw the unfamiliar ceiling as soon as he opened his eyes.

Then, it was Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, who accompanied the bedside.

"Mom and Dad? Why are you here? โ€

Jiang Yifan, who hadn't reacted to what had happened to him, couldn't help but ask in confusion.

But looking down at the hospital gown he was wearing, he had another question: "No, why am I here?" โ€

"You were injured when you were doing righteous deeds, and then you were sent here."

Dad Jiang gave a thumbs up, and then his eyebrows fluttered endlessly, "It's not my son, I have the demeanor of your dad and me, I want to be back then... Belch... I'll talk to you about it next time. โ€

Originally, he wanted to continue, but after being glared at by Jiang's mother, who had red circles under her eyes, she consciously shut up.

"The doctor said that you are fine, as long as you rest more, you will be discharged from the hospital soon."

Jiang's mother held Jiang Yifan's dripping palm distressedly, and whispered with a little choked up, "You can't do such a dangerous thing in the future, you know?" โ€

"Hmm... Well..."

Although Jiang Yifan's mind was still a little messy, looking at his mother's appearance, his nose couldn't help but feel sour, and he wanted to cry inexplicably.

Fortunately, she is still alive, if there is really anything in case, I really can't imagine what she will be sad about...

Jiang Yifan, who had been chattering warmly by his mother for a while, suddenly realized that the night was already very late at this time: "You guys should go back and rest, you have to go to work tomorrow." โ€

"I've already taken a leave of absence from the unit, and I'll be taking care of you in the hospital for the next few days."

Mother Jiang shook her head.

"Leave is time off, don't you have to sleep too? I'm so old, and it's not that I dare not stay alone. โ€

Jiang Yifan didn't want his parents to stay up all night with him so tired.

Jiang's mother still wanted to speak, but she was rarely persuaded by Jiang's father: "Okay, we can't stay with him forever, we have to get used to life without our care in the future, this time it should be regarded as a growth for him." โ€

In the end, under the joint persuasion of the father and son, Jiang's mother reluctantly nodded and agreed.

However, as soon as the two of them came out of the ward, Jiang's father trotted back and leaned into Jiang Yifan's ear and instructed:

"I know you've grown up and what you want to do, and I can't do anything as a dad. But you must remember that no matter what you do, the most important premise is to protect yourself and not hurt others, understand? โ€

Realizing that his father didn't show it on his face, but he was actually worried about himself in his heart, Jiang Yifan couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Well, I understand." โ€

This man always likes to hide his private money and words of concern secretly...

After his parents left, Jiang Yifan, who had been sitting alone on the hospital bed in a daze for a long time, suddenly felt that something was wrong: "It's strange, why do you always feel that something is missing... That's right! Where is the snake master!? โ€

Lift the quilt, no!

Roll up the pillow, no!

Rip off your pants, well... Although there is a long big dick, it is not a copper snake.

It wasn't until Jiang Yifan looked under the bed that he found the missing figure.

"It turns out that Master Snake, you are hiding here to play? I thought you had gone..."

Jiang Yifan, who breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to grab the red copper snake that was doing sit-ups under the bed.

However, the Bronze Serpent only squinted at him, and without saying a word, swam deeper under the bed, and then continued to do sit-ups.

"Huh? When did you become so passionate about exercise? โ€

Jiang Yifan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Oh~ I know, you must want to train your abdominal muscles, and then hook up with the little female snake, right?" It's okay, Master Snake, you're only a few months old, and you're starting to think about early love. โ€

(ใƒผ`ยดใƒผ#)๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ

The red bronze snake's eyelids couldn't help twitching, but he still didn't pay attention to him, but silently accelerated the frequency of sit-ups, as if turning anger into motivation.

"Although exercising is a good thing, it is not okay for you to exercise unreasonably like this."

Jiang Yifan, who didn't notice that the red copper snake was having a small temper, persuaded himself, "Everyone knows that staying up late hurts the body, and exercising can keep fit, but if you stay up late to exercise, then you can only harvest a healthy corpse in the end..."

It's just that these words fell into the ears of the red copper snake, just like the mantra that Tang Seng recited to Sun Wukong.

"Shhhh

The bronze snake shook its head impatiently a few times, and no longer did sit-ups, but got up and swam out of the bed, straight to the door of the ward.

It looks like he's running away from home.

"What's going on..."

The red copper snake's abnormality tonight really made Monk Jiang Yifan and Erzhang puzzled.

Although he didn't know what was going on, seeing that it was about to go out through the crack in the door, Jiang Yifan hurriedly stepped forward and scooped it into the palm of his hand.

"Sizzle!!"

However, this action caused the red copper snake to struggle violently.

Jiang Yifan, who walked back to the bed, just wanted to let go of his hand and put it on the bed, but was touched by the little tail that shook violently, and the needle that was dripping was knocked off.

Looking at the blood beads that burst out, the red copper snake was stunned for a moment, and there was obvious panic in his eyes.

"Shhhh

The red copper snake head hurriedly picked up the needle, and wanted to re-pierce Jiang Yifan back, but he was stopped by raising his hand.

"I'd better let the nurse help me get back later."

Jiang Yifan didn't blame it, but gently removed the needle from its mouth and set it aside.

The red copper snake curled its tail at a loss, looking at Jiang Yifan with trepidation, like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for the punishment of his parents.

"Did something happen today that made you unhappy?"

Jiang Yifan touched its little head in a soft tone.

The red bronze snake did not make a sound, but silently twisted its head to the side, and there were faint tears flashing in the corners of its eyes.

Through the effect of the contract, Jiang Yifan could vaguely feel a wave of self-blame lingering in his heart...

It's just that the contract is not a panacea, and if the Red Bronze Snake is unwilling to take the initiative to tell the reason, he will not be able to know more information.

"It's okay, it's okay if you don't want to say it."

Jiang Yifan also respected its choice, and did not continue to ask, but smiled and clenched his left hand into a fist and stretched out:

"I don't know what you're unhappy about, but what I want to say is that no matter what happens, I've always been there."

The red bronze snake looked up at Jiang Yifan's eyes, and then looked at the wound on his forearm.

Finally, after taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes as if he had made some important decision, and slowly pressed his forehead against his fist...

Father... Won't lose again...
