Chapter 1006 - Chixuan Awakens
Chapter 1006: Chixuan Awakens
Chixuan remained unconscious for three days, during which Gu Mengmeng remained steadfastly by his side. Her eyes were already bloodshot, but she refused to rest. She just clasped Chixuan’s hand in her own and gazed unwavering at him, as if deeply afraid that Chixuan would vanish if she just closed her eyes.
Finally, those wispy lashes fluttered slightly and Gu Mengmeng tensed up as if she had been electrocuted. Her breathing became extremely shallow. It was as if in the entire world, only that person who had been lying there unconscious for the past three days, could keep her attention.
The tips of Chixuan’s fingers twitched, and his lashes fluttered more obviously. Every movement was a tug at Gu Mengmeng’s heart. Her lips were pursed together so tightly that they had gone pale.
Finally, Chixuan opened his eyes. He gazed emptily at the ceiling, completely expressionless. There was no spark of life in him, and he just stared quietly upwards.
“Chixuan, Chixuan.” Gu Mengmeng’s voice was raspy. She tried not to sound exhausted, but she had not slept for the past three days. If not for Snake’s power supporting her, she would probably have already collapsed long ago.
Chixuan turned a deaf ear to Gu Mengmeng’s call. He had no reaction at all.
Gu Mengmeng was deeply frightened. She held Chixuan’s hand gently. “Chixuan, this is mummy…”
Chixuan turned slightly to look at Gu Mengmeng. It was as if he was looking at a complete stranger. He displayed no joy or unhappiness. No one could tell what was his current emotional state.
Gu Mengmeng met Chixuan’s eyes and the two of them just looked at each other wordlessly.
Until Chixuan quietly shut his eyes again and returned to his previously supine and dormant position. It was as if he had never woken at all.
“Chi…” Elvis gently patted Gu Mengmeng’s shoulder. “Since he has already awakened, he should be fine. Perhaps he is just unable to adjust to the sudden change. Just give him some time. Don’t worry too much.”
Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips and remained silent.
Elvis lifted her into his arms. “You have not slept for three days. Now that he has already awakened, you don’t have to worry so much. Just sleep a little. Otherwise, he is fine but you will collapse instead.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “I don’t dare to sleep. I am afraid that Chixuan will disappear when I wake up.”
Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng’s forehead. “Lea and I are guarding the house. Wabei is also outside guarding the door. Even if Chixuan grows another set of limbs, he will still not be able to escape. Sleep a little, alright?”
Lea was also sitting beside Gu Mengmeng. He promised. “Be a good girl and take a rest. I will watch over him. I will immediately wake you up the moment I notice anything wrong, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng knew her emotional state affected everyone else. Not just Elvis and Lea, but also the three little ones and Wabei. They had all been on tenterhooks the past three days.
Not wanting them to worry even more, Gu Mengmeng finally nodded. She leaned into Elvis’ chest and gradually closed her eyes.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t sleep well and woke up after only a few hours.
When she opened her eyes, she discovered that Chixuan was no longer on the bed. All notions of sleep were instantly dispelled from her mind.
Elvis held onto the struggling Gu Mengmeng and reassured her. “Don’t panic. Chixuan is fine. He is sitting at the door.”
Gu Mengmeng immediately turned and saw that Chixuan was indeed sitting calmly by the door. He was leaning against the wall and watching the setting sun. He looked like a lonely prince depicted in drawings, exuding a faint aura of hurt and despair.
