It turns out that when they became fathers for the first time, they both wanted to show off how cute their sons were, but things changed drastically around that time.
The two mothers liked to buy matching clothes for their babies. After showing them off, they breastfed together, and after putting the babies to sleep, they played video games together.
The cats confused the tags they put on the babies; this is most likely why they were switched at birth...
Lin Jinhao, having roughly learned the reason, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, his parents weren't the kind of bad people who would intentionally switch babies, and they survived safely.
He was extremely grateful to Shang Shujue, so after being eliminated from the live competition, he didn't leave. Instead, he stayed at the door of Shang Shujue's Shang Shujue, following the doctor's orders and taking good care of her.
Knowing he felt guilty, the others didn't compete with him for the chance to take care of Shang Shujue. The news of Shang Shujue falling into a deep sleep reached Song Yanqing, but there was no response.
Lin Jinhao was later picked up by his parents. Not only Lin Yuwen and Zeng Mei came to pick him up, but also Li Zhenhua Zhang Tao, and Li Qingxu, whom he had teased when he was a child.
Before leaving, Lin Jinhao left Shang Shujue many things that he might need. If he wasn't afraid of losing the money, he would have even left some cash with him. Then he left.
Shang Shujue lay in bed for one night before Yun Qishan sent someone to pick him up. It's highly likely that Yun Qishan got the news from Yu Zeqi and was very worried about him.
When Shang Family Shang Shujue's grandparents, parents, brothers, and sisters found out, they hurriedly transferred him to a private hospital.
They had a general understanding of his condition from Yun Qishan and Shang Shuchen, so they didn't do any further examinations and simply let him rest.
"Mom, do you think Xiao Jue is still our Xiao Jue? After all, our Xiao Jue wasn't as smart or as lovable as the current Xiao Jue..."
Shang Shuchen sat on the sofa, glanced up at Shang Shujue who was unconscious on the bed, and then looked at his elegant mother in front of him and asked a question, as if he had thought of something.
Yun Yuanmei paused in her apple-peeling motion, lost in thought for a long while before speaking.
"No matter what your brother becomes, he's still your brother, our Xiao Jue. Don't ask him things like that anymore; it will make Xiao Jue sad."
Shang Shuchen nodded silently, then picked up an orange, peeled it, and ate the flesh. His feelings were complex; he couldn't quite put his finger on whether it was sadness or something else.
"Have an apple, Mom just peeled it."
Yun Yuanmei handed the apple in her hand to Shang Shuchen, but seeing him shake his head expressionlessly, she simply put the apple back in the fruit plate.
"You go ahead and do your work. Mom's here to look after him. It's okay, Mom can take good care of him."
Upon hearing Yun Yuanmei's words, Shang Shuchen hesitated. He had already planned to skip the company for the day; wouldn't he be mistaken for someone with a mental problem if he suddenly showed up?
"Mom, I can take care of Xiao Jue. You should go back and rest. Besides, I've already arranged the work in advance. Going back to the company suddenly will disrupt the employees' work efficiency, which isn't good. I'll stay."
"Fine, whatever you say."
Shang Shuchen's reasoning was sound, and Yun Yuanmei didn't know what to say for a moment. So she stopped trying to persuade him, simply nodded, got up and sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at Shang Shujue, her eyes revealing genuine worry.
Shang Shujue slept for a whole day without waking up. It wasn't until lunchtime the next day that he finally came to his senses and opened his eyes.
The first thing that caught his eye was Shang Shuchen wiping his face and hands. When Shang Shuchen saw him open his eyes, he accidentally dropped the handkerchief on his face, causing him to feel a momentary sense of suffocation.
"Oh my god! Xiao Jue, you suddenly woke up and scared me half to death! Oh no! Little brother, you're finally awake! If you hadn't woken up, I was even thinking of having Xiao Yu jog you awake. What happened to you? You scared us to death!"
Shang Shuchen quickly removed the handkerchief, stumbled over his words, and realized something was wrong. He immediately mumbled something as he helped the man up, his eyes reddening as he spoke, genuinely worried about him.
Shang Shujue leaned against the headboard, looking at the unfamiliar yet familiar surroundings. A little confused, she raised her hand to cover her forehead, only to realize that she had an IV drip in the back of her hand.
"Oh dear! Don't move! You're getting an IV drip! Don't move the needle crooked! Tell me properly, were you not being fed well at the training camp? You just fainted like that, it scared us to death! Grandpa and Grandma have come twice in just over a day..."
Although Shang Shuchen had some doubts that Shang Shujue was no longer his brother, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him when he saw his distressed and aggrieved appearance. He spoke in a grumbling tone, but his words were full of concern.
Shang Shujue grasped his wrist with her free hand, her mind finally restarting. "What day of the week is it today?"
"Thursday? What's wrong?"
"I slept for a day and a half?"
"Yes."
"..."
[Holy crap! That Kinship Karma Talisman was really ruthless! It almost killed me half my life. Nuomi, are you alright? Did you manage to save her?]
After asking Shang Shujue his question, Shang Shuchen fell silent, but his inner world was extremely rich, showing no sign of silence, and his words were like thunderclaps.
Shang Shuchen's lips twitched slightly. Yun Yuanmei, who was carrying chicken soup and was about to come in, was shocked. Shang Shuyu, who was checking on Shang Shujue's condition with the attending physician, was slightly surprised. The eldest brother Shang Shunan, silently adjusted his glasses, his eyes dark and unfathomable behind the lenses.
The family consists of the extremely busy father, Shang Yuanzhen, and the fourth sister Shang Shuying, who rarely leaves the courtroom.
Apart from my second Shang Yuanxin, my cousins who were busy with their own careers, my elderly grandparents, and my unmarried third uncle and aunt, almost everyone from the Shang Family came.
This was the first time they had ever truly felt Shang Shujue's innermost thoughts. This personal experience was completely different from hearing it from others; it was truly shocking.
They exchanged glances but said nothing, nor did they go inside. The attending physician heard them; he looked at this person and that person, and he seemed a little flustered.
" Doctor Lin, shh..."
Shang Shuyu pulled the attending physician aside and explained to her in cryptic terms for a long time. Then, she suddenly understood and gave her a knowing look.
[It's good that you're back... This time the punishment was just a deep sleep, Nuomi, you must have paid a heavy price, right?]
Thank you for your hard work! I'll try my best to earn more points, and I'll share half with you then. You can spend them however you like!
Shang Shujue reached out and took the water from Shang Shuchen, casually saying thank you, without affecting his inner thoughts at all. This time, after his inner voice fell, a childish voice rang out.
