Chu House.
Chu Ning was in a coma for a day and didn't wake up until the next morning.
He opened his eyes, and it took him a while to realize that this was his home.
No, wasn't he at Tianlu College earlier, discussing with Mr. Sun about going to Wanling Mountains to find Yue'er? Why did he return home in the blink of an eye
He struggled to get up, but knocked over the tea cup next to the bed.
Hearing the noise, the people who had been waiting outside quickly came in.
"Lord Chu Ning, are you awake?"
Chu Ning looked at the man who came in blankly:
"Who are you-"
"I am the teacher of Tianlu College, Xin Shi. It was Mr. Sun who asked me to send you back. Now that you are awake, I can go back with peace of mind."
After staying outside all night, Xin Shi's face looked a little haggard, but his eyes were full of sincerity.
"You were so anxious that you suddenly fainted yesterday. It's nothing serious. You just need to rest for two days and you'll be able to recover."
Only then did Chu Ning react.
"…Thank you."
Xin Shi shook his head quickly:
"No thank you, no thank you. We are all worried about your health and hope you will take care of yourself. Now that you are fine, should I leave first?"
Chu Ning nodded.
Seeing that he seemed to have calmed down a lot, Xin Shi felt relieved. After a few more words, he turned around and left.
Sitting in the room, Chu Ning could hear the sound of the door opening and closing clearly.
His eyes were empty, like a bottomless abyss.
After a moment, he finally stood up and walked out with stiff and heavy steps.
Not long after Xin Shi walked out, he heard footsteps behind him. When he looked back, he saw Chu Ning also walking out.
There was no expression on his face, and there was a dejected coldness all over his body.
Xin Shi walked back quickly:
"Master Chu Ning, why did you come out so quickly? Your body needs a good rest -"
Chu Ning pushed his hand away to support her and said word by word:
"I want to go find Yue'er. I was delayed all night yesterday, and we can't be later today. I have to go quickly."
Xin Shi was helpless.
With Chu Ning acting like this now, I'm afraid some people would believe him if he said he was crazy! How can we let him go to Wanling Mountains alone
He pulled twice but didn't stop, so he had to run in front of Chu Ning and block his way.
"Just listen to my advice! Master Chu Ning, no matter what you want to do, you must first take good care of your body, right? If something happens to you now, what will you do?"
Chu Ning avoided him and walked forward stubbornly.
"I have to go, I must go-"
At this moment, a clear girl's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Dad, where are you going?"
Chu Ning was shocked!
This voice is all too familiar to him!
But...could it be that he missed Yue'er so much that he had auditory hallucinations
"father?"
The voice was right behind him, and Chu Ning wanted to look back immediately, but his body was extremely stiff and he couldn't move at all.
Xin Shi looked up and saw a girl coming from the corner on the bluestone road ahead.
She was slender and light, with a pretty face, a smile at the corner of her mouth, and sparkling eyes, which instantly made everything around her lose color.
If this person is not the dead Chu Liuyue, who is he? !
Xin Shi's heart was shocked, he opened his mouth, and couldn't help but raise his finger to point at her:
"You, you, you...are you Chu Liuyue!?"
Chu Liuyue glanced at him doubtfully.
"Teacher Xin Shi, don't you recognize me?"
Although she doesn't have much contact with this teacher on weekdays, it seems that she shouldn't recognize him...
Xin Shi pinched himself hard, it hurt so much!
But he immediately became happy in his heart.
"It's really you! It's really you!"
He patted Chu Ning's arm excitedly:
"Lord Chu Ning, look! It's really Liu Yue who's back! Look!"
Chu Ning's ears were buzzing.
Chu Liuyue finally realized something was wrong and stepped forward quickly:
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Xin Shi quickly explained:
"You don't know, everyone thought you had already—Master Chu Ning said he would go to the Wanling Mountains to find you! I didn't expect you to come back like this! How wonderful!"
Chu Liuyue suddenly realized.
That's right, in that situation, no one would think that she could come back alive.
It turns out...the place dad insisted on going to just now is the Wanling Mountains!
When everyone believed that she was dead, her father still wanted to find her...
The tip of Chu Liuyue's nose felt sour, and her heart was full of guilt. She stretched out her hand and hugged Chu Ning's arm.
"Dad, Yue'er is back!"
The arm she touched was like spring water melting into ice!
The stiff and cold feeling dissipated instantly, became warm and soft, and then spread quickly!
Only then could Chu Ning's body move. She slowly turned her head and finally saw the face she thought she would never see again.
Chu Liuyue was surprised when she saw his appearance.
In just a few days, Chu Ning, who was originally clean and handsome, seemed to have changed into a completely different person.
His face was unshaven, his eyes were all green and black, and his eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, especially between his eyebrows, with a faint aura of grayness and decadence, and his whole person looked like a walking zombie that had lost its soul.
Her eyes instantly turned red.
"...Dad, I'm sorry, Yue'er came back late."
Chu Ning looked at her without blinking and held her hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear again.
"Yue'er...Yue'er...my Yue'er..."
The sound almost broke Chu Liuyue's heart.
She held back tears.
"Dad, let's go home first."
"Yes, yes! Go home!"
Chu Ning finally came to life completely.
"Let's go home!"
Xin Shi was also very happy:
"Lord Chu Ning, Liu Yue, you go home for a reunion first. I will go back to the academy and tell Mr. Sun and the others about your return! They have been very worried these days!"
After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.
Xin Shi actually admired Chu Liuyue very much. Now that he saw her return safely, he felt happy and couldn't hide the smile on his face.
When they arrived at the academy, many people were curious when they saw his smiling face.
He didn't go far when he bumped into Bai Chen head-on.
Bai Chen asked curiously: "Xin Shi, didn't Mr. Sun send you to look after Mr. Chu Ning? Now that you are back, will Mr. Chu Ning feel better?"
Xin Shi chuckled: "That's not true! Not only is it better, it's completely better! Where is Mr. Sun? I have something important to tell him right away!"
Bai Chen felt even more strange when he saw him like this.
"Really or not? Mr. Chu Ning was heartbroken yesterday. Why is he completely healed now? Mr. Sun is still busy. What's the important thing you have to tell him in such a hurry?"
Xin Shi slapped him on the chest: "Haha! I won't hide it from you! Anyway, the entire imperial capital will know about this soon! Chu Liuyue - she is back alive!"
Chu Xianmin, who had just walked in from outside, suddenly stopped in her tracks as if struck by lightning! He looked up in disbelief!
