"It's been an hour." Yu Yao whispered to Li Da Zhan. "Is he decide not to wake up at all?"
Li Da Zhan nudged his friend's stomach, gritted his teeth, for talking bad about Chen Rou Jiao's important person.
"Shut it!" he demanded, in low voice, worried if their improper interaction will disturb Chen Rou Jiao.
Long Wei saw his impatient friend and quickly pulled Yu Yao's arm to him. He leaned to Yu Yao, "Stop it. Don't you see where we are right now?"
Yu Yao grinned to Long Wei. He must be lost his mind for uttered those things at the hospital ward, where there were people badly injured, and some were in coma, just like Chen Liang Shu.
"But, he just has mild injury." Yu Yao responded.
Li Da Zhan and Long Wei could not help but agreed with Yu Yao. Their attention shifted to Chen Liang Shu.
That man only had a few scratch on his face and his face swelling due to powerful punch from the muscle man at the nightclub earlier. Other than those, he was completely fine. Even the doctor that treated him gave assurance that his x-ray result showed nothing critical.
Yet, that guy did not showed any movement.
Li Da Zhan and the others were waiting patiently for Chen Liang Shu to wake up. They hadn't have rest since the moment their arrival at the hospital.
"He obviously embarassed because of you guys still here."
The boys turned their face the back of Chen Rou Jiao who sat next to Chen Liang Shu's bed. They were dumbfounded after Chen Rou Jiao said that blatantly.
"Huh?" Yu Yao furrowed.
Chen Rou Jiao sighed deeply. She looked at the dumb, dumber and dumbest without turning her body. Her eyes was swollen from crying over her little brother at the club earlier though the tears already dry up. Therefore no smile appeared, only a tension expression.
"He already fully awake 10 minutes ago. But because you guys keep staring at him, he did not dare to open his eyes."
They did not believe her at first but when Wang Zi Mao who also there, standing at the other side of the bed, nodded at them, and when they looked closely at Chen Liang Shu, that guy tightened his lips, they finally got it.
Li Da Zhan cleared his throat. How clueless and awkward they were in this situation. Yu Yao sneered foolishly.
Long Wei scoffed silently. "Then we will wait outside." he said right away.
Chen Rou Jiao nodded at Long Wei.
"We are sorry Mr. Chen." Li Da Zhan said before leaving the room with his friends.
They were walking along the corridor and settle down at the lobby, finallt they can seat properly after coming to the hsopital.
Their clothes were drenched with red liquid here and there since they helped Chen Rou Jiao's little brother at the club. But, Chen Rou Jiao ahd it worst due to she was holding her brother in her arms.
"What actually happened at the club earlier? How Chen Rou Jiao's little brother get that red paint all over his body?" Li Da Zhan asked Yu Yao who knew the whole story.
Yu Yao chuckled before he answer. He found the story was hilarious and when his friend told him about it, he remembered he almost burst into laughed in front of worried Chen Rou Jiao.
"Pfft.. it was all misunderstanding." he said.
Li Da Zhan and Long Wei wanted to know more about it so they paid attention to Yu Yao who was sitting betweem them.
"My friend said, they were having fun with the party, and they plotted to prank one of their friend who celebrating his birthday with the red paint. Everything went smooth until the moment they wanted to throw the paint, that person unknowingly evade the paint."
Yu Yao stopped for seconds to laugh, then while still laughing he continued, "unfortunately, Chen Rou Jiao's little brother was passing through that place and he was the one got drenched by the paint." then he laughed but the nurse at the counter shush him.
Li Da Zhan and Long Wei were almost burst to laugh when seeing Yu Yao's reaction but they hold it in. Li Da Zhan symphatize of that guy though but the story was so funny to not laugh to.
Long Wei chuckled. "Then, how come he was beaten like that?"
"That guy was drunk at that time, according to my friend. Maybe he was irritated or what, he attacked the guy who evade the paint, not knowing who he dealing with and the fight began." Yu Yao laughed again, earned him a second warning from the nurse.
Long Wei shook his head. "No wonder he was so embarrased to face us."
The other two, nodded agreed.
"But atleast, we finally can meet Chen Rou Jiao, after all these years." Yu Yao grinned happily.
Meanwhile in the ward, Chen Rou Jiao crossed her arms and legs, staring sharp at her little brother.
Chen Liang Shu had opened his eyes widely seconds after Li Da Zhan and his friends left, but he hadn't spoke any words to his older sister or his friend. He remained silent until it annoyed Chen Rou Jiao.
"You have nothing to say to me?"
Chen Liang Shu bit his lips. He acted bold by rolled his eyes. His seriousness made the surrounding became intensed.
"No one asked you to come here." he replied in such rude way, that pissed his older sister to the max.
"Then when shall I come?! On your deathbed?!" Chen Rou Jiao barked but Chen Liang Shu remained silent. He even did not want to look at her.
Her attitude made everyone that shared the ward with Chen Liang Shu drawned to their quarrel. The night was so angst with their fight.
"I heard about the drama problem."
Chen Liang Shu, gasped. He shot a glare at Wang Zi Mao. That friend on grinned at him.
Chen Liang Shu quickly get down from his bed, prepared to leave but Wang Zi Mao tried to stop him but he insisted.
"Where are you going?" Chen Rou Jiao also rose from her seat, but her little brother did not say a word, but walked away to the door.
"CHEN LIANG SHU! STOP!"
Li Da Zhan was behind the door when Chen Liang Shu opened it. Yu Yao and Long Wei were long gone to their house, only Li Da Zhan stayed to bring food for Chen Rou Jiao and the others.
When Chen Liang Shu saw him, he just walked passed him without saying anything.
"Where are you going, Mr. Chen?" Li Da Zhan asked while he was in shock. But no answer from the young man.
Chen Rou Jiao quickly went after him while Li Da Zhan and Wang Zi Mao followed her unttil they were already at the park near the hospital.
A lot of people in the park in this late but, none of them paid attention to Chen Liang Shu who was still wearing his patient attire.
"CHEN LIANG SHU! LISTEN TO ME!"
"WHAT?" he sobbed. His eyes were reddish and teary.
He glared at his older sister in sorrow, hopeless. "What is left for me now?! You tell me, sis. I prepared so much for this character."
Chen Rou Jiao chewed her lower lips. Try to not cry in front of her poor little brother.
Li Da Zhan and Wang Zi Mao stood still behind her. Said nothing and do nothing. They did not have any privilage to get involved in the siblings's fight. However, each of them hetting ready for the worst.
"Nothing left for me. My opportunity to be the lead had vanish into the thin air, although I have done nothing wrong from the beginning."
Chen Liang Shu came forward where his older sister stood, he grabbed her shoulders tightly. Chen Rou Jiao lifted her eyelids to looked straight at his eyes.
Chen Liang Shu sneered sadly at her. "Everything is gone. You know?"
The hopeless and disappointed speech made her annoyed and irritated her heart. She immediately grabbed one of his arms, took a step backward and quickly turned her back on him; she made a successful shoulder throw.
Chen Liang Shu grunted and coughed painfully when he was landed his back on the concrete land. Li Da Zhan and Wang Zi Mao gasped seeing her action, but instead of helping Chen Liang Shu, they froze in their place, stupefied by her.
Even the passersby stunned watching the lady magnificently took down a man who was way taller and tougher than her.
Chen Rou Jiao was not done yet. She rushed to her little brother, grabbed his collar, forced him to stand. Want it or not, Chen Liang Shu had to obey.
"How come you have such a narrow minded? This is not the Liang Shu that I know!"
Chen Liang Shu said nothing. The excruciating pain on his back made him lost his words.
"Do you think, if you behave like this, they will pay attention to you? Do you think, they will regret their decision and give you the job back? Huh?!" She barked at him, but then tears already streamed down to her reddish cheek. She quickly wiped it.
"They never will! In fact right now, they did not even thinking about you. Or remember who you are."
Chen Rou Jiao pulled his face to her, "You just ruined yourself." she cried.
Chen Liang Shu's lips trembled, so he pressed his lips. He avoid to look at her face. Afraid if he will burst into tears in front of his beloved sister.
Her voice became hoarse but she had many things to say towards him.
"You have a lot of opportunity waiting in front of you. But if you decided this is your end, you will never know what future hold for you."
And right then, she let go of her grip. Let Chen Liang Shu think deeply of what she just said. She cried but, still, waiting for his responsed.
Chen Liang Shu bited his lips, he turned to look at Chen Rou Jiao. His heart was burning with anger. "What else I can do? The production is so popular, the opportunity to get production like that is once in a blue moon, especially for someone like me."
"Get yourself together. Do your best. Become the best of you. Then they themselves will go after you. Begging you to be in their projects! Don't ever do this to yourself!"
Chen Liang Shu after hearing that, his legs feeling weak, he kneel down in front his sister, face the concrete path, crying all out.
Chen Rou Jiao's expression went soft. She went to him, kneel down, and hug Chen Liang Shu tightly. Patted softly his back.
"I am sorry jiejie." he said softly, and hug her back.
Li Da Zhan was so touch with the situation. When he looked at her determination on comforting her little brother, his mind calm and he smile softly. As if he was in her embraced, while she was comforting his miserable life.
