Chapter 173 Two Souls
Enveloped in a gentle halo, the kind soul's eyes were filled with love and expectation. Its soft voice was like a spring breeze, slowly brushing against Xing Xuanli's heart: "Xing Xuanli, it's time to go back. In this world, there are people you deeply love, and there are also people who deeply love you. They are anxiously awaiting your return."
Shanhun gently raised his hand, and the warm light from his palm seemed to pave a path home. "Look, Yun Mohan is guarding your bedside, his eyes never leaving you. The anxiety and deep affection in his eyes are so thick that they cannot be dissolved. Every minute and every second, his worry for you is gnawing at his heart."
"And your dearest friends, they are silently praying for you, their eyes filled with no less concern. Don't let these precious emotions go to waste, don't let their tears be shed in vain. Return to reality, return to the embrace of love and warmth, and don't let those who love you and those you love shed tears for you."
Xing Xuanli's eyelids fluttered like butterfly wings for a long time before finally opening. Her eyes still held the confusion and innocence of a first awakening.
Yun Mohan, who had been guarding the bedside for three days and three nights, now had bloodshot eyes and looked haggard. But when his gaze met Xing Xuanli's awakened eyes, a sudden glint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
His lips trembled slightly, as if he was about to say something, but his throat was choked by the surging emotions. Then, he suddenly stretched out his arms and, with an almost uncontrollable eagerness, hugged Xing Xuanli tightly. His arms were wrapped around her so tightly, as if he wanted to use his embrace to build a permanent barrier of safety for her, isolating her from all danger and harm in the world.
"Li'er, you're finally awake..." His voice rang in her ears, choked with uncontrollable sobs, the outpouring of emotion after a long period of worry.
Xing Xuanli slowly awoke, her gaze meeting Yun Mohan's bloodshot and concerned. His eyes flushed red, and his voice trembled slightly, nearly choking. "Li'er, for these past three days and nights, every minute and every second has felt like a knife slicing at my heart. You've kept your eyes closed, motionless. I've stood by your bedside, filled with fear and anxiety, terrified you'd leave me. Now that I see you awake, my heart is finally at ease."
Xing Xuanli blinked, a hazy look still lingering from just waking up. She murmured in a weak and unbelievable voice, "I... I've actually been asleep for three whole days and three nights?"
She frowned slightly and tried hard to recall what happened after she lost consciousness, but her mind seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog and chaos.
"These three days and three nights seemed to pass by like a flash to me, but from what you said, it must have felt like a century to you."
As she spoke, she subconsciously clenched Yun Mohan's hand, as if to draw strength from his palm and confirm that everything before her was not an illusion.
Yun Mohan's eyes welled up in tears, his hands trembling uncontrollably. He clutched Xing Xuanli tightly, almost convulsively, with a grip so strong he seemed to melt her into his flesh and blood. He buried his face in her neck, his voice choking with relief at having survived a catastrophe. "Li'er, you're awake, finally awake. These past few days, my world felt as if it were swallowed by endless darkness, dread haunting me. Every moment, every second, I was tormented by despair. It wasn't until this moment, feeling your warmth and hearing your voice, that I felt alive again. As long as you're safe and sound, I'd trade everything I have for it."
Upon hearing their mother had woken up, Xiao Kexin and Xiao Muhan's eyes lit up with surprise. Xiao Kexin was concentrating on playing with her favorite doll when it fell to the ground with a "clack", but she didn't care at all. Xiao Muhan also immediately put down the book she was reading.
Like two nimble deer, their hurried steps spurred a gust of wind as they raced along the winding corridor. Their hair flew freely in the wind, their faces flushed with eagerness. Their hearts were filled with worry for their mother, and they wanted nothing more than to throw themselves into her warm embrace.
"Mom!" Accompanied by a childish cry, the two rushed into the room like little cannonballs, with tears of excitement flashing in their eyes.
Xing Xuanli's eyes were filled with tenderness, a faint smile playing on the corners of her mouth. She slowly leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on the smooth foreheads of Xiao Kexin and Xiao Muhan. Her voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, with a hint of apology and doting: "My dears, it's my fault for making you worry about me."
After saying that, she hugged the two little guys tightly in her arms, as if she wanted to use this warm embrace to dispel all the uneasiness in their hearts.
Xing Xuanli tilted her head slightly, her eyes watery as she gazed at Yun Mohan, a faint blush of weakness on her cheeks. She parted her lips, her voice soft and velvety, a hint of coquettishness in her voice, "My dear, I've slept for so long, I must be starving." She winked playfully, her eyes filled with anticipation for the delicious meal.
"Whatever you want to eat, your husband will make it for you." Yun Mohan said lovingly.
His voice is as gentle as water, as if it can melt anyone's heart. His deep eyes are now filled with tenderness and love, staring at you intently, as if you are the center of his world.
Yun Mohan gently held your hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with an intoxicating smile, he continued: "Baby, as long as it is what you want to eat, even if it is the most difficult delicacy in the world, your husband will do everything he can to find it for you, just to make you smile."
He placed your hand on his cheek, stroking it gently, and added affectionately: "Don't hesitate, tell me what you like best."
"Yes, mother, we will make whatever you want to eat." Xiao Kexin and Xiao Muhan said.
The two little guys looked at you with serious faces and sparkling eyes, full of anticipation. Little Kexin blinked his bright eyes, tugged at the corner of your clothes, and said in a baby voice, "Mom, my brother and I want to make you something delicious, please tell us."
Little Mu Han also nodded vigorously, puffed out his little chest, and promised like a little adult: "Mom, I will help you, and I will definitely make a delicious meal that will satisfy you."
Looking at the innocent and lovely appearance of the two children, your heart is filled with warmth and emotion, as if you are surrounded by a warm current.
Yun Mohan, a gentle smile on his lips, raised his hand and rubbed the heads of little Kexin and little Muhan, his movements gentle and affectionate. "Look, my dears, I just woke up and am still very weak." His voice was soothing and steady, full of concern and love. "You two should go out and play for a while, so I can rest. Once I'm refreshed, we can chat happily together again, okay?" He said, blinking at the two little ones, his eyes full of hope.
