Obviously, the one talking nonsense must not be Pea.
"Do you rember when it was?" Gu Shaozhi ’rescued’ the little girl from Wanxia’s hand, his voice gentle and coaxing, "If you rember, Uncle will buy you the best ice cream."
Ice cream...
"I rember, I rember, it was..." An excited Pea instinctively covered her mouth before she could say the most crucial part, turned her head to look at Wanxia, blinked her eyes and asked, "Aunt, can I say it?"
Wanxia smiled gently, "No, you can’t."
It seed more comfortable to be in a coma.
Pea sighed like a little adult, lowered her head, and obediently replied, "Oh, okay, I won’t say it."
A problem that can be coaxed away with just one ice cream, Nan Wan had educated her many tis about this. She now felt a sense of mission, because Huo Yihan’s daughter was younger than her, making her an older sister and a role model, so her willpower beca slightly more steadfast.
Pea lifted her little head, seriously comforting Gu Shaozhi, "It’s okay, Uncle Gu, you can ask my dad, mom knows it too."
Wanxia, "..."
Gu Shaozhi smiled, hooking the woman over to his embrace.
On one side was Pea, and on the other was Wanwan; there was no better mont than now.
His gaze filled with indulgence and a smile, he kissed Wanxia on the forehead, "Don’t be upset, I won’t ask them."
This intimacy stirred a sense of guilt in Wanxia’s heart; she hadn’t lost her mory nor had a ntal breakdown, and she rembered she was still in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Jin Sinan.
With a cold face, she pushed him away, "There wasn’t anything in the first place, ask whatever you like."
She had no doubt whose side her brother and sister-in-law were on.
Gu Shaozhi knew what the woman was awkward about; so things couldn’t be said in front of the child, so he withdrew his hand from her shoulder.
He didn’t feel angry, and even took a pillow and placed it behind her back, making her more comfortable leaning.
"But Aunt, I’m a bit upset."
A muffled voice ca from Pea, who had her head drooped.
Although Wanxia wanted to hold her, she really didn’t have the strength, so she could only stroke her cheek, "What’s wrong with you?"
"I co to see Aunt every day, in the morning, at noon, and even before going to bed at night. But why does Aunt ignore ," Pea pouted, "Uncle Gu only ca for three days, and you were able to smile. I’m not aweso at all."
Wanxia, "..."
When the man should have opened his mouth to explain, he was very at ease, with Little Pea nestled in his embrace, acting spoiled, which he was more than happy with.
He didn’t say a word, just looked at Wanxia with great interest.
"It’s not because of him," Wanxia glared at the man with displeasure, but given her current physical condition, it lacked montum, seeming more like a tease than anger, which only made the man’s lip curve more pronounced.
Wanxia couldn’t be bothered to deal with him, softly comforting the injured Pea, "Aunt woke up because she heard you talking, you’re even more amazing than others."
Pea’s eyes lit up, asking softly, "Really?"
"...Of course it’s true."
"Oh yay!" Pea believed it and bounced around happily.
--------
Mu Jin Huan and Gu Shaozhi were in the study, having a n’s talk. Once the door closed, no one knew what they discussed.
Pea was taken to the yard to watch ants by Jiu Jiu, leaving only Wanxia in the bedroom, with Nan Wan examining her with a stethoscope.
"Sister-in-law," Wanxia looked at Nan Wan apologetically, speaking softly, "I’m sorry for making you worry."
On the day of the Huo Xu couple’s wedding, most of the guests had left by the end, but Nan Wan and Mu Jin Huan were still there. At the mont Wanxia fainted, Nan Wan’s heart was hanging in suspense.
Nan Wan confird that her body had no other issues besides weakness from prolonged coma. So situations are just very strange, unexplainable from a dical perspective.
For instance, they exhausted all thods, and Ji Wanxia remained in deep coma, but when Gu Shaozhi ca, she naturally woke up.
"That’s right, your brother hasn’t slept well for almost half a month," she put away the dical instrunts and said with a smile, "And Xu Moyi, she was almost scared to death by you, not only checking in by phone morning, noon, and night, but also went to the temple to pray to the Bodhisattva."
Xu Moyi truly believed she exhausted Wanxia by making her play piano non-stop, resulting in the pampered young lady collapsing from fatigue. She regretted it to the point of feeling ill.
With Nan Wan saying this, Wanxia felt even more guilty.
"That day... I don’t know what happened to either, my mind was in a fog... I ruined Moyi’s wedding, I’m really sorry."
She lowered her head, wanting to explain but couldn’t.
Since Wanxia arrived in Qing City until now, she and Nan Wan had t almost daily. After that silent yet intense sadness on New Year’s Eve, when she walked out of her room, she was smiling as if she never shed a tear.
Living and working as usual, her interactions with Jin Sinan were also natural.
All genuine emotions were hidden, gradually piling up, becoming heavier and heavier until they broke the last straw on Xu Moyi’s wedding day.
Collapse, crumble, cave in.
Nan Wan didn’t know what Wanxia recalled at that wedding, nor did she know where Wanxia’s soul was trapped, unable to break free during her coma, but she heard her unconscious murmuring.
Just two words: Shaozhi, Shaozhi...
"You don’t know Xu Moyi," Nan Wan handed a cup of warm water to Wanxia, smiling gently, "She’ll feel her wedding is unique compared to anyone else’s, so you shouldn’t feel burdened."
In fact, it was all right; the wedding was already over, and the main characters had long left, surrounded by friends.
Although Wanxia hadn’t known Xu Moyi for long, she sowhat understood her personality. Nan Wan’s words were quite fitting.
She didn’t continue on this topic, taking small sips of water instead.
After a while, she softly asked, "Where’s Sinan?"
"He took care of you day and night for many days, and with many things piled up at the company, he had to return to An City," Nan Wan pulled open the curtains and opened the window halfway, letting fresh air in, "Mu Huan called him; he should be here by evening."
Wanxia nodded.
Nan Wan sat by the bed, holding Wanxia’s hand; she knew what the other truly wanted to ask.
Her gaze was gentle, her voice warm, "It was Jin Sinan who took the initiative to ask Mu Huan to find Gu Shaozhi, emotions can’t be forced. He’s an adult and not soone who has only dated you; whether you’re happy or not with him, he can feel it more clearly than us."
