Unexpected Second Chance at Love

After a heartfelt reunion between Yue Ling, Lu Tian and the others, everyone gathered inside the room Yue Ling was staying in Imperial Military Hospital.

The sound of laughter echoes out from the room and into the corridor. Nurses and patients who walked by could not help but poke their heads in for a quick second to see what is going on.

However, to their surprise, the patient who was supposed to be laying on the bed was not on the bed. Instead, Yue Ling was currently sitting by the window with Lu Tian and Grandfather Ji.

Every so often, she would smile and laugh to her heart's content.

As right now, laying on the bed was Liu Shan. His arms and legs spread like he was chained to the bed. He turns his head to look at Yue Ling and grins a cheesy smile.

"And then, this is where the good, yet scary part starts."

"Hai! Ya!!"

"Ohhhhh—!!!"

Xu Long jumps in from the side with a fierce samurai expression. Using his right hand, he karate chops Liu Shan's arm as the man groan in pain. He turns to look at his lady boss and grins.

"And that is how Chu Li Xiang lost his arms and legs."

Lu Tian stares dumbfounded at the recap of what had happened. He did not want to tell his wife as it wasn't important, but the moment she asked, Liu Shan and Xu Long decided it was perfect chance to play out the event in full detail.

However, seeing his wife's smiling face, he could not bring himself to stop the others.

Oblivious to his thoughts, Yue Ling nods her head as she listened to Liu Shan and Xu Long's explanation. Her brows slightly furrow, and she points down.

"So then, why are they there?"

Sitting on the floor in front of her but near the bed was none other than Qi Li and Lin Hui. Unlike the glasses man who was sitting up, Lin Hui was laying on the floor.

Qi Li held his palms together over his head and Lin Hui the same but on top of his stomach.

When they heard their boss's question, Lin Hui grins and raise his eyebrows up and down.

"Boss, you just don't know. This is the next best part. Just wait. I swear on my life."

Quickly as his words feel, he looks up at the ceiling but didn't forget to gesture his brows again in signal to Xu Long. To which, the assistant reach into his pocket and takes out a small box of breath mints.

Popping out two in his hand, he glance at Yue Ling and whispers with one hand blocking his mouth as if he were going to tell her a secret.

"Pretend these are arms and legs. Okay?"

Without waiting for a response or to see her reaction, he quickly drops the two breath mints.

The same time this happened, Qi Li and Lin Hui quickly caught the 'arms' and 'legs'. Both men put it inside their mouth and began to chew until it was gone.

"Ugh… And that is how the lowlife named Chu Li Xiang vanquished from this world in a slow and painful death."

Liu Shan groans in intense pain as he narrates the event. Even when he spoke his last word, he didn't forget to put on an expression like he had died.

Taking a step forward from the side, Jiangyu stood like a soldier and ends the story.

"The end."

"…"

Watching until the very end, Yue Ling, Grandfather Ji, and everyone else who were not there were at a loss for all words.

Never did they expect the four men to play out the scene in such unexplainable details. Not only that, Jiangyu who had not spoken a word had stepped in too.

"Ahem."

As the live show came to an end, someone suddenly interrupts them with a cough. Turning to look at the person, Grandfather Ji quickly replace his smile with one of seriousness.

He stood up and looks at Liu Shan like he had not been laughing just a second ago.

"Aiya, Shan, what are you doing? Do you have no shame?"

His words fell and he looks at the person with slightly pink cheeks.

"Doctor Dong ah, why are you here?"

Doctor Dong stares at the grown men in the room and he did not know how to react at this moment. He had only saw a little to the ending, but it was enough to make him want to laugh too. However, as he is still working the clock, he could only clear his throat and professionally enters the room.

"I could hear your laughs all the way from my office, so I came to check what is going on. However, it was livelier than I had expected."

Walking over to the bed, he looks down at Liu Shan and slightly furrow his brows. Touching his chin, he purse his lips.

"Hm… If I remember correctly, my patient was a young and beautiful girl."

Liu Shan stares up at the old man. He slowly pulls the blanket over his body. Making sure that it is only his eyes are visible, he bashfully blinks like he was dainty being.

"I am a young and beautiful girl."

If it had been anyone else, Doctor Dong would have puked. However, because he knows how Liu Shan is, he decides to play along. He nods his head in understand, then points to the IV stand.

"Aiya. It seems like your cannula connector has been disconnected. Let me reconnect it for you."

The moment Liu Shan heard those words, his eyes widens in horror. He flung the blanket off of him and abruptly stood up.

"Aiya. How did I get on the bed?"

He chuckles sarcastically then turns to look at his boss and gasp loudly.

"Eh! Boss, why are you sitting there?"

With no intentions of giving her a chance to answer, he looks back at Doctor Dong. He grins innocently and points to Yue Ling.

"Well what do you know. Your patient is right there."

As his words fell, he quickly dash to hide at the side. At the same time, Lin Hui and Qi Li did not forget to do the same. The two men abruptly got up from the floor and along with Xu Long, they quickly follow after the assistant like three baby chicks.

Yue Ling stares at them as she tries to suppress her smile. She is definitely happy to have them back by her side. Only they know how to turn a bad situation into one of laughter.

Shifting her attention to Doctor Dong, she stood up and walks over to the bed to sit.

"Is something wrong?"

Doctor Dong's attention quickly returns to his patient. He sighs a smile in relief to see her smiling. He hands her a piece paper and shook his head.

"Nothing is wrong. I came to tell you that you have been discharged. Here is a list of things that you should try to avoid while you are still recovering."

Yue Ling was baffled by the old man's words. Usually he was extremely strict with his patients and will not let them leave until they are fully recovered.

"I can leave?"

Just as she spoke the words, she came to understand something. Her head slowly turns to the person who must have pulled the strings.

Meeting her bluish green eyes that can make a person lost in her gaze, Lu Tian's entire being softens. However, maintaining his calm outer appearance, he shrug his shoulders and nonchalantly answers.

"I did say we will be going home when I return."
