The sound of a quilt being thrown open.
The next moment, Ji Rong, who had been in a deep sleep on the bed, suddenly sat up.
"Ji Rong!" Qin Yiqing lunged forward, directly onto Ji Rong.
Ruan Xi was startled, "Ji Rong? You're really okay! You're actually okay!"
Yun Shu was also completely shocked, "Do you feel unwell anywhere?"
Ji Rong's gaze was somewhat blank as he looked at the people in front of him, glancing at Yun Shu, then at Ruan Xi. He didn't answer their questions, and finally lowered his head to look at Qin Yiqing, who was clinging to him.
He raised his hand, seeming hesitant to let it fall.
"Wuwuwu... you're okay, you're really okay! Ji Rong, I was so scared, I was afraid you'd really leave me! Do you know how scared I was? If you left me, I'd hate you to death! Why didn't you tell me the truth sooner! Wuwuwu..."
Qin Yiqing cried uncontrollably.
Her face was covered in tears and snot.
But it didn't detract from her stunning beauty at all, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.
Ji Rong looked at Qin Yiqing, who was sobbing in his arms, and reached out to gently pat her. "Do not cry."
"Wuwuwu, you tell me not to cry, but I will cry! Otherwise, you won't learn your lesson in the future and will try to trick me again! You don't know how sad I've been during this time, I've never been so sad before! Wuwuwu..." Qin Yiqing finally felt like she had come back to life.
Ji Rong just looked down at Qin Yiqing. Perhaps he was too tired, or perhaps he was slow to react after just waking up. After saying "Do not cry," he said nothing more.
It was as if his waking up was unimaginable, something beyond his expectations.
After a long while, Qin Yiqing's emotions subsided, and she stopped crying so hard.
During this time, Yun Shu had been observing Ji Rong, always feeling that Ji Rong was a little different after waking up.
"Ji Rong, it seems heaven didn't have the heart to take your life! Look, you've come back to life, ha ha ha, I knew you had a strong life force, and heaven wouldn't easily take your life! It's true, heaven couldn't bear it! No, maybe it's because Qin Yiqing was chattering in your ear all the time, bothering King Yama. King Yama thought that if you died, Qin Yiqing would cry on your grave every day, and it would be too noisy, so he decided not to take your life!" Ruan Xi imagined the cause and effect.
After speaking, he felt he was right!
Qin Yiqing glared fiercely at Ruan Xi, "Can you shut up?! If it weren't for the fact that you've been treating me well these past two days, I'd want to hit you right now!"
After they had talked for a while, they realized something was not quite right.
Why were they the only ones talking, and Ji Rong hadn't said much?
Qin Yiqing immediately became nervous, "Ji Rong, are you feeling unwell somewhere? Why haven't you spoken since you woke up?"
"Yes! Why isn't he talking? Is he hungry? Or thirsty? I'll ask the kitchen to make you something to eat," Ruan Xi chimed in.
Ji Rong seemed to finally come back to his senses, raised his head, and looked at them.
"Hungry, and thirsty," Ji Rong pursed his dry, cracked lips and said in a hoarse voice.
Qin Yiqing gasped, "I forgot, you just woke up, you haven't eaten or drunk anything for days, you must be both thirsty and hungry! I was so thoughtless, holding you and crying for so long."
As she spoke, she picked up a nearby cup and handed it to him.
Ji Rong tugged at the corner of his mouth, a faint smile appearing. He took the cup and took a sip, then said, "I didn't feel anything just now, but now I feel a bit thirsty."
Yun Shu watched as Ji Rong's complexion looked more normal than when he had first woken up. She stared at him and asked, "Ji Rong, do you know why you woke up?"
Ji Rong's expression shifted.
He glanced at Qin Yiqing and Ruan Xi, "I need to speak with Yun Shu alone. Please wait for me for a moment."
Qin Yiqing and Ruan Xi looked at each other, then walked out.
After Qin Yiqing and Ruan Xi had both left, Ji Rong's expression became more solemn.
"It must be that you made a last-minute effort to save me, preserving a breath of life within me. For the past two days, I've been lost in a haze. I could hear what Yi Qing was saying, and what you were saying, but I couldn't wake up. I can't understand why I woke up, nor can I understand why you were able to save me at the last moment."
"Yun Shu, I can no longer divine."
The moment he woke up, while Qin Yiqing was sobbing, he had tried to determine his own destiny.
But he found that he could not divine.
He could not fathom the will of heaven.
Yun Shu was truly shocked, "You're saying you can't divine anymore? Is it because you just woke up?"
For the descendants of the Ji family, the future patriarch, Ji Rong, who was the most valued by the entire Ji family, if he could not divine, he would certainly be abandoned by the Ji family!
This had always been the family rule of the Ji family.
Therefore, Ji Rong had been lost in thought and silent since the moment he woke up.
He shook his head, "It's not because I just woke up. It's because I am alive now."
Yun Shu's expression immediately became solemn. She frowned and looked at him, "So you haven't figured out how to tell Qin Yiqing?"
Having lost the halo of being the future patriarch of the Ji family, the two of them would undoubtedly face many challenges in the future.
"I can't hide it from her anymore. I'll tell her in a couple of days. She's already been through so much these past few days. I have something else to tell you. When I suddenly lost consciousness, I saw the three of you in the room facing mortal danger in the near future. I can no longer change the situation for you. Especially you, Yun Shu, your destiny is beyond anyone's comprehension, and no one can alter your fate. You must be careful, do not leave the capital, remember, do not leave the capital." Ji Rong warned with a grave expression.
Seeing that Ji Rong was about to face even more troublesome matters, yet he was still concerned about their safety, Yun Shu sighed softly, "Ji Rong, there's no need to worry about us. You need to focus on recovering your health. Yi Qing and we will always be by your side."
Ji Rong smiled faintly, as if he had seen through the worldly affairs, and nodded, "Alright, don't worry. Now that I'm alive, it's enough. The rest doesn't matter."
...
The night grew deeper.
It was already midnight when Yun Shu left Ruan's residence.
Because Ji Rong had woken up, a great stone that had been weighing on their hearts was finally lifted.
Yun Shu didn't rush back to the General's mansion but instead strolled leisurely on an empty road.
Occasionally, she would look up and admire the intoxicating night scenery.
The years seemed peaceful.
Suddenly.
A dark figure hurried towards her on the road.
The figure walked quickly, as if afraid of being discovered, looking back from time to time.
Yun Shu initially intended to jump onto the wall to avoid a head-on encounter.
However, she suddenly realized that the approaching figure looked somewhat familiar.
In the moonlight, she looked closely and was slightly surprised, "Young Master Yi?"
