Chapter 383 Is he the eldest brother?

Shen Li ignored them and turned to Uncle Hu, saying, "Uncle Hu, lead the way."

Uncle Hu quickly responded and continued to lead Shen Li inside.

Finally, the group stopped at the door of a room at the very end of the corridor.

Shen Li took a deep breath and followed Uncle Hu inside.

On the bed in the room, two people lay quietly with their eyes closed, tubes inserted into their arms, receiving white liquid.

Although Shen Li didn't know what it was, she figured it must be a nutrient solution used to maintain bodily functions while unconscious.

She walked to the bedside, her gaze fixed on the two men's faces, her voice trembling slightly: "Uncle Hu, when...when will they wake up?"

Uncle Hu shook his head slightly, his tone heavy: "Uncertain."

Shen Li's heart sank instantly, and she anxiously asked, "Why? Didn't you say you found a way?"

Uncle Hu slowly explained, "Actually, the young master didn't know how to switch them back at first. Later, he remembered that the two of them had each taken half a pill—it was a family heirloom of the old lady, which was said to be able to save lives in critical moments."

"Over the past six months, the young master has gone abroad and searched through all the ancient books, finally finding the corresponding secret recipe."

"But it's hard to say whether the current medicinal materials can be used to make pills with the same effect as before; even if the pills are made, it's still unknown whether they can wake up safely."

Shen Li's eyes dimmed instantly, her voice trembling with emotion: "Given such great danger, why did they insist on doing it?"

Uncle Hu remained silent and did not speak.

He knew in his heart that both his young master and Comrade Lu harbored obsessions, obsessions that were enough to make them risk their lives.

Looking at the two lifeless figures on the bed, Shen Li felt both pain and anxiety in her heart.

Although she desperately hoped they could switch back to their own bodies, she cared more about their safety than about who would have their bodies—life was the most precious thing.

At this moment, Lu Cheng gently patted her shoulder and softly advised, "Lili, do you want to talk to them? Maybe they can hear your voice and wake up sooner."

This is actually why Lu Cheng was willing to bring Shen Li along.

He knew that whether it was his elder brother or Ming Xiangyang, their deepest obsession was Shen Li.

If she were there with them, talking to them, she might give them strength and help them wake up sooner.

Shen Li nodded, her voice hoarse: "Okay."

Uncle Hu tactfully withdrew, gently closing the door behind him, leaving them alone.

Shen Li walked to Lu Sheng's body, wondering if this was her brother's soul and if what she said would be of any use.

What if it can't be exchanged back?

Shen Li sighed...

Finally, she sat down next to Lu Sheng (Ming Xiangyang's soul), held his hand, and whispered some trivial matters about the family and the children's recent situation, her tone gentle and calm.

After talking for a while, she walked over to Ming Xiangyang's bedside and sat down. Her gaze fell on his familiar face, and her eyes couldn't help but redden.

Although she didn't know if they would be able to get it back in the end, Shen Li still spoke slowly, her voice full of concern and worry: "Ming Xiangyang, please wake up? I don't blame you anymore. The past is the past."

"As long as you wake up, I don't care what happens. I just hope you can be safe and healthy."

At this point, her voice choked up, a thousand words stuck in her throat, but she didn't know what to say.

At this moment, all she felt was worry, and she just hoped that he would open his eyes soon.

That night, Shen Li and Lu Cheng sat in the room for two whole hours before getting up and leaving late at night.

Before leaving, Shen Li specifically instructed Uncle Hu: "Uncle Hu, if they make any noise or wake up, please tell me immediately. Thank you."

Uncle Hu nodded solemnly: "Comrade Shen, rest assured, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Days passed, and two more days went by. Shen Li's unease grew stronger and stronger.

She knew that Uncle Hu was skilled in medicine, and from his expression, she could tell that the later the two of them woke up, the greater the danger would be.

Shen Li became extremely anxious. Every day, she would run to the neighbor's courtyard two or three times, sitting on the bedside and talking to them for a long time, hoping for a response from them.

Finally, on the fourth day, Shen Li sat by the bedside as usual, watching over him, when she suddenly saw Lu Sheng's fingers twitch slightly!

Her heart tightened, and she instantly perked up. She quickly moved closer, grasped his hand tightly, and said with barely suppressed excitement, "Big brother, are you waking up? Please wake up!"

She stared intently at Lu Sheng's face, even her breathing became cautious.

After a while, Lu Sheng's eyelids twitched slightly, as if he was trying to open them.

Shen Li became even more excited, immediately got up and ran outside, shouting, "Uncle Hu! Uncle Hu! Please come and see!"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Hu immediately rushed in, walked to Lu Sheng's bedside, carefully examined his pupils, and showed a hint of relief on his face: "Hmm, there are indeed signs of waking up. He should wake up soon."

Shen Li's anxiety eased slightly, then she looked at Ming Xiangyang and asked anxiously, "Uncle Hu, can you check on him again? Is he reacting?"

If the eldest brother is showing signs of waking up, then shouldn't Ming Xiangyang wake up too?

Uncle Hu walked to Ming Xiangyang's bedside, examined him carefully, and finally shook his head in disappointment: "There is still no reaction. I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer."

Shen Li's newly risen joy was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water, and her heart sank again.

She slowly walked to Ming Xiangyang's bedside and sat down, holding his cold hand, her voice trembling slightly: "Ming Xiangyang, don't scare me, you can't be hurt... Please wake up, okay?"

Shen Li sat by the bed and watched over him for half an hour.

She's starting to worry; what's going on?

Of course, he really had something to do. Suddenly, I remembered the sadness I felt last year when I learned of his passing.

No, no more.

They were still friends back then, and his death had already made me sad enough.

Just then, Lu Sheng, who was beside him, slowly opened his eyes. He looked around in confusion, and his gaze finally fell on Shen Li, who was guarding Ming Xiangyang and talking to him.

A gentle smile played on his lips as he whispered with all his might, "Lili..."

Shen Li looked up when she heard the sound.

Look towards the direction of the sound.

She saw Lu Sheng looking at her with a weak expression.

Shen Li grinned and ran over.

She knelt down in front of him: "Big...are you my older brother?"
