Chapter 348 Lili, Don't Go

Looking at the photo, Shen Li's thoughts instantly drifted back to that year—it was Zhang Wei who jokingly called them the top students in the class and insisted on taking a photo with them. Ming Xiangyang didn't object, which led to this photo.

This is probably the only photo of the two of them together.

Next to the group photo, there was another group photo of many people, in which she was smiling radiantly.

Unexpectedly, he would keep this photo by his bedside, keeping it with him day and night.

Shen Li felt a mix of emotions, a bittersweet feeling, and ultimately, only a sigh remained—life is always full of regrets.

Mingcheng and the other man gently placed Ming Xiangyang on the bed and carefully covered him with a blanket.

Looking at the room full of men, Shen Li carefully considered her words before speaking: "Should we ask an older woman to take care of Ming Xiangyang? You are all men, and ultimately, you are not as meticulous as women. Besides, a person in a coma needs regular massage and rehabilitation, otherwise their muscles are prone to atrophy."

Ming Cheng immediately refused, his tone resolute: "No, our master is always reserved and would never allow outsiders to see his body. Mr. Shen, please rest assured, we can take good care of our master."

Seeing their firm stance, Shen Li stopped insisting and nodded gently, "Alright then, please take good care of it."

Mingcheng and Mingxing turned around and went out to get the necessary items for care. Uncle Hu also took a basin of water to the outer room to prepare to clean Ming Xiangyang's body.

Shen Li slowly walked to the bedside, squatted down, and looked at Ming Xiangyang's bloodless face. Her voice was as soft as a whisper: "Ming Xiangyang, please wake up..."

The person on the bed remained motionless, with only faint breathing indicating that he was still alive.

Shen Li looked at him, hesitated for a long time, and finally her eyes reddened. She choked out, "If you can wake up, I will grant you one request, any request... Please, please wake up."

She simply couldn't accept that someone had given their life for her.

Thinking of that half-pill that saved her life, she felt even more guilty. Later, she gave the remaining half-pill to her older brother. If she had left it for Ming Xiangyang, would he have woken up long ago?

Shen Li took a deep breath, trying to suppress the bitterness in her heart, but her nose still felt numb.

At this moment, Uncle Hu came in carrying a basin of water, opened the wardrobe, and took out the pajamas that Ming Xiangyang usually wore.

Seeing this, Shen Li quickly stood up: "Uncle Hu, I'll go back now. Please take good care of him. Call me anytime if anything happens."

"Okay, Miss Shen, don't worry." Uncle Hu nodded in agreement.

Shen Li turned and walked away quickly, completely unaware of the commotion behind her.

Just as she closed the door, Ming Xiangyang on the bed twitched his fingertips very slightly.

Uncle Hu was busy preparing towels and didn't notice this fleeting change.

As evening approached, and dinnertime was near, Lu Sheng returned to the Lu family home.

Shen Li wasn't sure if he would come back, since he still had work to do.

The whole family gathered in the front yard. Shen Li did not mention her harrowing experience abroad—she was afraid her family would worry, so she simply said that she and her older brother had returned safely.

As soon as Lu Sheng entered the room, his gaze fell on the child in his mother's arms. He paused for a moment, then stepped forward, gently teasing the child's little hand, and said in a soft tone, "So cute."

Shen Li was stunned for a moment, her mind filled with doubt: She hadn't even had a chance to tell everyone about the child, how did her older brother know?

On second thought, perhaps Zhao Qing or Feng Ye had mentioned it unintentionally in the past few days, so I let it go.

Looking at her son who had been lost and found again, Lu's mother was all smiles. She quickly called to everyone, "Come on, sit down. I specially invited Nannan over today." Shen Li followed Lu's mother's gaze and saw Lu Nan sitting to the side, her belly already bulging high—she was eight months pregnant and had already taken a break from school to rest at home.

Lu Sheng looked at Lu Nan with a calm expression, showing no surprise whatsoever.

Shen Li became increasingly certain that Feng Ye had told him everything about her family, after all, they had been spending every day together during this time.

The family sat together, finally experiencing the long-awaited atmosphere of reunion.

Lu Cheng moved closer to Lu Sheng and asked curiously, "Big brother, how long will you be able to rest this time?"

Lu Sheng's gaze inadvertently swept over Shen Li, and he said casually, "You should be able to rest for a while. What's wrong?"

Lu Cheng shook his head: "It's nothing, I just wanted to know how long my brother can stay with us."

Lu Zhou, who was standing nearby, quickly grabbed Lu Sheng's hand, her tone full of curiosity: "Big brother, where did you go this time? You've been gone for so long. By the time you came back, Sister Li had already given birth."

Lu Sheng looked at the child in his mother's arms and said in a calm tone, "He went abroad on a mission."

"Abroad?" Lu Zhou's eyes lit up. "Is it fun abroad? When I grow up, I want to go abroad to see it."

"If you want to go into politics, you'll probably never be able to leave the country in your life," Lu Cheng said at the right moment, his tone somewhat serious.

Lu Zhou looked on in surprise, his eyes wide: "Really? Who made that rule? How come I didn't know?"

Shen Li nodded gently and patiently explained, "It's true. This is to prevent spies from infiltrating, so all political personnel are prohibited from going abroad. Even those who have studied abroad cannot enter politics after returning to China, and this has remained true in later generations."

After dinner, everyone returned to their respective courtyards.

After all, they had just returned from abroad and had been traveling a long way; everyone looked exhausted.

Lu Sheng was clearly familiar with the layout of the Lu family home, and followed Shen Li directly to her courtyard.

Unexpectedly, Lu Cheng and Lu Zhou followed closely behind and entered the room together.

Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, his face full of doubt: Does everyone live together?

It wasn't until his gaze fell on Shen Li's enormous bed that he suddenly realized—the bed was so spacious that even four people could sleep together without feeling cramped.

Shen Li entered the room and took off her coat.

The room had a heater on, and although the space was too large and the overall temperature was difficult to maintain, there was just the right amount of warmth near the bed.

Lu Cheng and Lu Zhou walked to the wardrobe as if they knew the way well, and took out their clothes, clearly already used to staying here.

Shen Li noticed Lu Sheng standing there in a daze and asked in confusion, "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Lu Sheng snapped out of his daze, made an excuse, and said in a somewhat unnatural tone, "I'm still injured, so I won't squeeze in with you guys. I'm afraid of touching my wounds."

Shen Li didn't suspect anything and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

She picked up Lu Sheng's clothes from the side and handed them to him, saying, "Then you can stay in the next room. It's always been empty and very clean."

"Okay." Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly.

He hasn't mentally prepared himself yet, so living separately is actually a good thing.

Shen Li led Lu Sheng to the next room and quickly made up his bed, arranging all the necessary items neatly.

Once everything was in order, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist.

Lu Sheng's fingertips were slightly cool, and his tone carried a barely perceptible plea: "Lili, don't go, please help me apply the medicine, okay?"
