Chapter 27 - Can I Ask You Something?

Yan Shu had nothing left to do on stage hence, she decided to get off.

As she stepped down the stairs, she felt a sharp pain in her head and felt like the world infront of her spinned. Her body fell on the ground making a loud thud sound then rolled down the stairs.

The loud sound startled everyone as they looked at the source of the sound. Old Master Su stumbled while hurrying to go check on Yan Shu. Su Jiacheng being in the back row delayed him to reach the front row only to get stuck between whether to help out his grandfather or sister. 

By the time he made his decision, Si Junyan had already picked up Yan Shu and heading to the entrance. Reluctantly, Su Jiacheng helped his grandfather to go out.

There was a sudden uproar again. It took them quite a long while to process out the situation.

First, Mo Ran fell and she was carried out by a big guy who suddenly popped out of nowhere. Secondly, after Mo Ran's fall, old Master Su stumbled God knows how twisting his right leg making him unable to even stand up properly. Immediately out of nowhere Su Jiacheng, their senior and idol appeared and helped his grandfather on the way out followed by Mu Shao. Lastly, after they left who knows what happened to Morgan suddenly as he also left putting on a worried gloomy face.

End of the summary.

These series of events put the program in a halt. Principal Liu found himself in dilemma whether to continue or not since the guests have already left.

Thinking about how the second year students prepared for the ending performance for many days, he felt it to be unfair to them if they didn't get to perform. 

Getting Principal's consent, Gu Mingyu continued with his hosting after calming everyone down. 

Li Qiuqiu and her group performed but the audiences didn't feel any enjoyment no matter how good their performance was.

Hence, the event ended abruptly leaving a remarkable memory in everyone's mind.

________

In the hospital

Old Master Su, Su Jiacheng, Si Junyan and Assistant Hu waited outside the room in the emergency unit. 

"Grandpa,you should sit down. Your leg pain will be worse if you keep standing like that." Getting Old Master Su's consent, Su Jiacheng then helped him to take a seat.

Few moments later the doctor came out.

"How is she?"

"What happened to her?" 

Su Jiacheng and Si Junyan spoke at the same time.

"It's the previous trauma which triggered up. I've already warned you last time don't let it happen again as the later effects might be disadvantageous." He shook his head in disappointment. It was already a miracle that the accident few days ago didn't affect her now suddenly...

"However, her fainting is also due to syncope. Did she overworked herself these days? Did her sleeping disorder showed up again?" Dr. Fu lifted his eyes and stared at the two Su's back and forth.

Old Master Su and Su Jiacheng felt helpless. They regretted for letting her have her way.

Looking at the guilty faces and getting no response from them the doctor understood.

He cleared his throat and rubbed his nose subconsciously then continued, "Old Master Su, Mr Su Jiacheng, I suppose you didn't have a choice. She will be up soon. You can take her home after she finishes her IV drip. And also if she shows any abnormalities please inform me immediately. We can't take any chances since she has PTSD."

As her doctor, Dr. Fu was well aware of his patient. Su Mo Jiaran was one of the rare patients of him who showed miracles in duration of treatment. 

After the incident of her parents death she suffered from PTSD. At first the Su family members were in awe as they didn't expect the 5 years old girl to suffer from the disease. 

After two to three years of treatment, she showed progress but her progress wasn't normality but rather an 180 degree change in her whole characteristic. Hence, Dr. Fu concluded that thus might be her way of coping with the trauma and further consultation will only take her back to where it started. 

But when she was 12 years old, the trauma triggered up again leading to her locking herself up and smashing things, screaming until she fainted two or three days after due to dehydration. Back then, it took her month and above to be back to her little normal situation. 

Only then did Dr Fu understood that she was never cured. Its just she avoided herself from every possible causes to prevent any kind of triggering up and taking sleeping pills to deal with her sleeping disorders. 

Now after four years, it happened again and he was unsure about her. The only choice left now was to wait for her to wake up.

Dr. Fu bid his goodbye after apologizing to them. He also felt a bit embarrased for yelling at them not caring about the age of Old Master Su. Well, he was carried away with his anger at that moment.

"Grandpa, you should go home now. I will be here with Ranran." Su Jiacheng urged.

"Ah Cheng, you take me home. Xiao Yan will be here for Ranran. Won't you?" Old Master Su turned his face to look at Si Junyan.

"But..." Su Jiacheng wanted to retort but he can't go against his grandpa no matter how much he hated Si Junyan getting close to Su Mo Jiaran.

Looking at the anticipating eyes, it was impossible for Si Junyan to reject him. He also had some of his personal reasons to stay.

"Grandpa, second brother, rest assured. I will inform you when she wakes up." He nodded.

They then headed to the exit. Assistant Hu went out to buy toiletries and a set of casual clothes while Si Junyan returned back to Su Mo Jiaran's room in the fifth floor.

Inside the car

"Grandpa, why did you let him stay here over me?" Su Jiacheng knew his grandpa favored Junyan but he still couldn't wrapped his head on the matter that why his grandfather was bent on letting them get together.

"Ah Cheng, it's time for you to settle down too." Su Jiacheng can sense that his grandfather was hiding something the way he turned around his question.

"I get it. But you don't have to tie me down too. Besides, I am having a great time on my own." Su Jiacheng turned his head towards the window to calm himself down. 

"Ah Cheng, You and Xiao Yan used to have a relationship that is even stronger than the family bonds. Why've you been treating him coldly recently?" 

Su Jiacheng was startled for a moment as his body turned stiff. It felt like getting caught red-handed while doing something guilty.

"I didn't expect you to have spy on me. You don't trust me?" Nonetheless, he was more surprised that his grandfather was spying on him.

Old Master Su coughed.

"I didn't. I just happened to know."

"Mu Shao?" Although he doubted his grandfather for a second, he knew his grandpa wouldn't stoop this low. He then remembered the loose-tongue of their group, Mu Shao, who also happened to be a guest in school event. So he guessed Mu Shao must be the whistleblower.

"Do you need to be so suspicious of me? Fine, you don't have to tell me. Afterall, I am just an old man who is going to die soon." Old Master Su said pitifully and pretended to wipe his eyes and nose with his handkerchief.

"Grandpa, I was just asking. It's not that I don't want to answer but I just don't want your hopes to be crushed." How can Su Jiacheng's heart not melt at the sight even though he knows the old man was just pretending. 

"Do you remember lil Yan? Brother Bai's sister?" Su Jiacheng glanced at Old Master waiting for his response.

"The girl who disappeared?" Old Master Su would've actually forgotten the matter if it've been any other matters. But the things happened that year, the power changes in Country Z because of Bai Family ruckus, Country A was also affected which made it memorable in everyone's mind.

Su Jiacheng nodded.

"She is back and she is the one whom Junyan likes." Su Jiacheng sighed. He didn't wanted to tell it to others but since it came to this point, he figured it wouldn't hurt to let his grandpa know.

"She is back!?" Old Master Su's eyes widened. So many people searched for her over a year yet got nothing consuming that she might've died and now she's suddenly back!? It was a huge news. There was also a sinister gaze in Old Master Su's eyes but they were quickly replaced.

Su Jiacheng only hummed then turned to the side. The car was silent all the way and nobody dared to break it.

Back to the patient's room

Yan Shu regained her senses. As she opened her eyes she saw the white ceiling again but there was no chandeliar like last time. Then she remembered fainting at the program.

"You are awake? Do you want to eat something?" Si Junyan just came back from the washroom and saw Yan Shu trying to move. 

Yan Shu looked at the trail of the voice. 

'He looks charming even with those casuals.' She stared at the guy walking towards her. Water droplets fell over his neck and forehead from the tip of Si Junyan's wet hair making him look seductive.

He came forward and helped Yan Shu sit then handing her over the glass of water.

Yan Shu wasn't used to be taken care like this so she felt weird at his behaviour. Nonetheless, she was too thirsty to turn him down. While Yan Shu gulped down the water, Assistant Hu entered with two packets in his hand.

"President, here it is." Assistant Hu hurriedly handed over the packets to Si Junyan before leaving in rush. He didn't want to be a third wheeler.

Si Junyan then helped Yan Shu with the food before settling himself down in the sofa and go back to working.

Yan Shu haven't spoken a word since she wake up. She was rather taken aback with Si Junyan's care and just procceeded accordingly quitely. She looked at the person sitting on the sofa who was emerged in his works. She felt like watching a live CEO drama. She wondered how it will feel like to have a person like him to take care of her for the rest of her life!

"Can I ask you something, if you don't mind?"
