Chapter 1124 - Fighting Together

After lunch time, Lu Zihao was officially discharged from the hospital. Wang Yingjie personally helped in the procedure. Long Jinjing called her best friend and took a day off from work. Chen Fei allowed her after learning that Lu Zihao had finally woken up.
Lu Zihao, Long Jinjing and Grandpa Lu were now on their way to Dragon Palace Home #10. They were riding the old man's ostentatious limousine.
At first, Grandpa Lu wanted to bring Lu Zihao to his Mediterranean-style mansion in the suburbs to help his grandson recover faster by breathing fresher air but Lu Zihao surprisingly said that he wanted to stay at his third brother's home instead. Grandpa Lu agreed without any fuss because he planned on staying at Dragon Palace anyway to wait for the safe birth of his great-grandbaby from Iris and Jin Liwei.
The excited Grandpa Lu was phoning everyone and letting them know that his grandson, the pinhead, had finally woken up. Long Jinjing continued sticking close to Lu Zihao, afraid that he would collapse and go into coma again if she left him just like what happened before.
Lu Zihao held her chin and tilted it upwards so that they were looking at each other. Then he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips—slowly, carefully, and thoroughly.
She melted into him and was the one who increased the intensity of their kiss, sucking and biting his lips, looking like a hungry person finally able to eat after a long time.
He groaned and deepened the kiss even more, invading her sweet mouth with his tongue. It had been so long. Too long!
When it was over, she clung to him even more tightly. Of course, he hugged her more tightly as well. The corners of his lips lifted after seeing her flushed skin.
"Grandpa Lu is here," she whispered. "Oh no."
He chuckled. "It's fine. Look, he's too busy calling everyone to bother us."
Although he said this, he knew that the old man saw what they were doing just now and only pretended that he didn't notice them kissing to avoid embarrassing the overly shy Long Jinjing. Lu Zihao stole another kiss from his woman's lips, a quick one this time, before leaning his head back and closing his eyes.
Fatigue filled him. He had been comatose for days after all. His body needed time to recover.
"Take a nap," Long Jinjing told him. "I'll wake you up when we arrive at Little Sister and Brother-in-law's home."
He grunted in response before pulling her head to rest on his chest. "You sleep, too. I heard from Shun that you didn't get a wink of sleep."
"Okay."
It was actually her who fell asleep soon afterwards. He didn't sleep but still managed to rest a bit while his eyes were closed.
At the moment, he was reflecting on the bits and pieces of memories that happened when he was in coma. It felt like a long series of endless nightmares. He couldn't remember everything, but based on the ones that he did remember, he was back in his body as Nikolai Vetrov together with Lu Zihao by his side. They seemed to be fighting off wave after wave of enemies together.
At the beginning, he went off to fight on his own, not caring about Lu Zihao at all. Then when the sheer number of enemies overwhelmed him, a wounded Lu Zihao appeared to save him. This happened many times. Lu Zihao would always save him at crucial moments when he was about to die a shameful death in the hands of the enemies.
In the end, he and Lu Zihao began fighting together. Then somehow, before he noticed it, there was only him fighting alone but he knew that he wasn't really alone.
Yes, he was Nikolai, but he was also now Lu Zihao. They were together and that was what made him stronger to defeat all of those faceless enemies in the long series of nightmares.
Lu Zihao opened his eyes and watched the urban scenery outside that the limo was passing by. He didn't fully know what happened but there seemed to be something different about him. He just couldn't figure it out.
The remnant of the original Lu Zihao still existed within him and was still capable of conversing with him. It was just "resting" right now because the coma somehow drained it.
'I'll eventually figure it all out.'
He glanced down at the sleeping woman in his arms and felt something warm filling up inside his chest. Then he noticed that the old man finally stopped talking on the phone and was now watching him.
"Old man—Grandpa," he corrected himself rather quickly this time.
Grandpa Lu looked pleased. "That girl loves you very much, my boy. She never failed to stay by your side every night no matter how exhausted she was from working all day."
"I know."
Of course, he knew. Shun and Robin gave him an in-depth report earlier when Long Jinjing went outside his hospital suite to answer a business phone call.
"You're a dumb dunderhead if you let such a wonderful and loyal woman go and leave you again," Grandpa Lu said with a disdainful harrumph.
Lu Zihao didn't say anything but pressed the sleeping woman in his arms closer to him. His expression didn't reveal anything of his true thoughts or emotions as usual. Grandpa Lu didn't press him to reply either, maybe because Lu Zihao still looked terrible from being comatose for days.
The old man's phone rang. "Hello, Xiulan my girl? Yes, your Big Brother Haohao and Big Sister Jinjing and your beloved Grandpa Lu will be there soon. Don't worry, my girl! Your Big Brother is fine but is still a big pinhead as usual. He wanted to be discharged immediately right after waking up! Hah! Why is he so hardheaded? I want to know! What is it, my girl? You want to talk to your Big Brother? Alright."
Grandpa Lu tossed the phone to Lu Zihao who easily caught it with one hand. "Haohao, your little sister wants to talk to you. Don't upset her! She's not fully recovered yet, you hear?"
Lu Zihao nodded and spoke to his sister for the first time since he collapsed. "It's me."
All he heard was a soft crying sound.
