Chapter 1208: Chapter 1207: Not Taking Things Seriously

Ah!

Without any warning, Felix suddenly sat up like a zombie, his face ferocious, clawing and roaring a heart-wrenching scream.

Ah!

The doctor who was checking Felix’s vital signs was so startled that he screamed as well, and the stethoscope in his hand flew out like a meteor hammer.

Ah ah ah!

Li Wei turned around and screamed at the nurse, who was completely terrified, grabbing her head with both hands and letting out a shrill scream comparable to "Carrie the Witch."

The scene was chaotic for a moment.

Ah ah ah!

The bustling noise burst out of the hospital ward, surging down the corridor. Many curious and worried gazes turned towards them, and the air began to stir.

However, just as the commotion started, even before it had time to spread, another sound came from inside.

The next second, both Felix and Li Wei were doubled over with laughter—

Rocking back and forth.

Laughing thunderously.

Doctor: ???

Nurse: ???

It took them a whole moment to realize what was happening, but they couldn’t believe their eyes.

A prank?

This was a prank?

The doctor was instantly furious.

"This is not funny! This is not funny at all!"

"Captain Li Wei, do you find this funny? Do you think this is a suitable opportunity for a prank?"

"This is a hospital. Matters of life and death are not to be joked about. You know we are responsible for their health, you know we need to be accountable to patients and their families, while you’re playing pranks here, we are fighting for lives!"

"Captain, Felix can be excused because he’s still a kid who loves pranks, but you’re not. You’re an adult, you should understand the seriousness of the matter, you should know what can be joked about and what cannot. You should possess the rationality to judge right from wrong."

"I can’t believe you’re playing pranks here!"

"The story of ’The Boy Who Cried Wolf,’ I believe I don’t need to tell you again. In the hospital, nothing is trivial, you need to take our work seriously and also take your own situation seriously. This is not a circus!"

Sputtering with rage, the doctor gave Li Wei a thorough dressing-down without leaving him any room to breathe.

The atmosphere was completely tense.

Felix also realized the gravity of the situation and tried to explain for Li Wei—

This was his idea. Li Wei opposed it, thinking it was not an appropriate matter for a joke; but he felt that precisely because everyone took it so seriously and sadly, it was suffocating.

He wanted everyone to relax.

More importantly, he didn’t want to be treated as a "dying man," with everyone looking at him with pity, as if he could die at any moment. That kind of sadness and despair made him want to rebel.

So, Felix convinced Li Wei.

But now, things were unfolding just as Li Wei had feared.

Felix tried to speak, but noticed Li Wei quietly raising his hand to stop him, standing dutifully to take the scolding without a word of rebuttal.

Outside in the corridor, the nurses and patients who were approaching all came to a screeching halt. There was no need to witness it in person; just hearing the storm within conveyed the oppressive atmosphere—

However, the atmosphere that should have been heavy, anxious, and fearful had a strange sense of amusement when standing outside the ward. Was this normal?

Inside the ward, the doctor, seeing Li Wei’s obedient face, vented all his anger like a hairdryer and then, together with the nurse, stormed out like a tornado. Upon seeing the onlookers with their ears pricked outside, his not entirely extinguished anger flared up again, glaring at the crowd.

"Disperse."

"Everyone disperse, there’s no circus performance here!"

The voices from outside came in, and Li Wei’s expression relaxed, the corners of his mouth involuntarily lifted, his eyes filled with smiles.

But Felix couldn’t smile, his face full of worry, "Rookie, why didn’t you say it was my idea?"

Li Wei shrugged lightly, "I’m the adult in this room. I’m the team captain. I need to take responsibility."

Seeing Felix’s anxious and worried look, Li Wei waved his hand, "The point is, I agreed too, didn’t I? I agreed with your view; everyone is too serious and too heavy, and I don’t like it. I know this isn’t a prank, but we can choose how to face challenges."

"Perhaps we all need to relax our nerves a bit."

Pausing for a moment, Li Wei looked at Felix and lowered his voice.

"Did you see their panicked expressions?"

The two exchanged a glance, and at this moment, they couldn’t hold it back anymore—

Ha ha ha, ha ha ha.

Both burst into laughter.

The reasoning is clear to them. Li Wei is the adult; he knows what can and cannot be joked about, such basic common sense is known to everyone.

But the point is, everyone treats this matter as if it were the end of the world, which is a kind of cruelty, as if there’s no hope for Felix.

In this stance, Felix’s death sentence is pronounced.

Both Felix and Li Wei refuse this stance. They reject announcing the result before the battle has even begun, as if it’s a game that’s over before it starts.

Moreover, it can’t be denied that the prank was indeed very funny. In a mere three to five seconds, they traveled between heaven and hell a round trip.

It was thrilling.

Felix especially felt this way, the stifling, oppressive atmosphere was completely swept away.

"’I think we all knew this would happen,’ did you hear what the nurse said? Hahaha."

However, laughing and laughing, sadness creeps in, and the smile freezes on their lips.

Maybe, there really isn’t much time left for Felix.

Felix read the sadness in Li Wei’s eyes. He took a deep breath and flashed a big smile, "So we ought to be happier, right? Time is precious; there’s no time to keep drowning in sadness."

Li Wei nodded gently in agreement, "So, are you ready for the final game against Oakland?"

Felix’s eyes lit up, "Right, right, next season is in Las Vegas, right? The feud between Kansas City and Oakland is about to temporarily come to an end, and we definitely need to secure a victory."

The ward was once again filled with joyful and cheerful chatter.

But neither Li Wei nor Felix noticed Karen at the door. She sat down with her back against the wall, her knees going weak, her whole body slumping down, hands clasped over her head, maintaining this posture for a long time.

Various emotions tugged at her heart.

But... Felix finally found his smile again, didn’t he?

Karen told herself this, and the voice in the ward was once again full of vitality and anticipation, this was the Felix she was familiar with.

Taking a deep breath, Karen finally found the strength to stand up again, reclaiming her smile.

Perhaps they should laugh at the uncertainties ahead, face whatever might come with a positive and optimistic attitude, mock the approach of Death with bright sunshine, and embrace the endless possibilities of tomorrow.

It’s not easy; it’s especially difficult.

Over the years, Karen had experienced these moments of life and death again and again, each time just as hard, even tougher than the last.

But...

This is not a sad thing.
