Chapter 156 Qin Zhuo Awakens
Yuka, who had been playing a farming game all night, felt a little tired and closed the game panel.
As she stood up, she stretched out a big yawn, and her joints made a soft "crackling" sound.
"Huh? Why am I sweating so much?"
Yuka suddenly felt very sticky all over.
With a hint of doubt, she walked to the window and reached out to pull back the curtains.
In an instant, the outside light became so intense that it was impossible to open one's eyes.
She squinted instinctively, then immediately closed the curtains again, muttering, "The light is so strong today, the temperature must be ridiculously high."
A thought flashed through her mind: "Oh no, won't Zhuozhuo be too hot?"
Thinking of this, Yuka hurriedly turned around and went to the next room, pushed open the door and went in.
When she saw the scene inside the room, she froze on the spot, her eyes wide with surprise.
Qin Zhuo was sitting on the bed, looking at her tenderly, as if he had never been unconscious and had just taken a nap.
When Qin Zhuo woke up, he saw Youxiang standing at the door with a surprised look on her face. He smiled slightly and said softly, "Little Youzi, did you miss me?"
Yu Xiang felt a sudden heat in her eyes, and tears welled up in them.
She could no longer control her emotions. She rushed forward, opened her arms, and hugged Qin Zhuo, who was sitting on the bed, tightly. She buried her face in his chest and cried out, "Waaah, Zhuozhuo, you're awake! I missed you so much! You have no idea how worried I was about you."
Qin Zhuo hugged Youxiang back, gently stroking her smooth hair with one hand, and said with emotion, "Little Youzi, your hair has grown a lot, it's all below your shoulders now."
Yu Xiang's tears flowed uncontrollably, soaking Qin Zhuo's shirt. "Zhuo Zhuo isn't here, so no one's cutting my hair anymore."
Previously, whenever Youxiang felt her hair was too long, she would cling to Qin Zhuo like a little tail, begging him to help her cut her hair.
Although Qin Zhuo complained about the trouble, he would always carefully trim her hair, and the hairstyles he cut were always to Youxiang's liking.
Qin Zhuo, who was slightly stunned by Youxiang's tears, chuckled softly upon hearing this, his laughter as warm as a spring breeze.
Then, he gently pushed Youxiang away, reached out and lightly wiped away the tears on her face with his fingers, and said with a serious and affectionate look in his eyes, "Little Youzi, how about I cut your hair for the rest of my life? No matter what, I will be responsible for your hair from now on."
Yuka nodded vigorously, "Of course you have to cut my hair for the rest of your life. No one else can cut it as well as you."
Qin Zhuo rubbed Youxiang's head helplessly, "Why can't you understand? Fine, I'll put it bluntly. Little Youxiang, I..."
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open with a "bang".
Qiao Yue rushed in, "Little Youzi, you're here! Oh my god, Qin Zhuo, you're awake."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Qiao sisters and Shen Jia and his son heard the commotion and rushed over from the living room to the bedside.
Everyone chatted amongst themselves, their faces beaming with smiles, genuinely happy for Qin Zhuo's awakening.
Qin Zhuo sighed helplessly.
Why now of all times?
He had originally intended to take this opportunity to tell Yuka what he had kept hidden in his heart for so long.
Mr. Shen leaned closer with concern, "Xiao Qin, is there anything else that's bothering you? You've been lying down for so long, have you felt anything unusual?"
Qin Zhuo shifted slightly, assessed his condition, and slowly said, "Besides feeling a bit weak and powerless, I don't feel any other discomfort. It's probably because I've been lying down for too long, and my body hasn't fully adjusted yet."
Qiao Yue, standing to the side, fanned herself with her hand and frowned as she said, "It's normal to feel weak after lying down for so long without moving around. Ugh, this room is so hot, and with so many people, the air feels even hotter. I'm not going to stay any longer; I'll go downstairs first."
After saying that, Qiao Yue strode away and hurriedly left the room.
Father Shen turned to look at Qin Zhuo and then asked, "Little Qin, do you feel hot in the room? Don't let the temperature affect your recovery."
Qin Zhuo nodded. "It's a bit hot."
Father Shen quickly adjusted the temperature, then walked back to Qin Zhuo's side and asked, "During the recovery period, a suitable temperature is also very important. How are you feeling now? Are you more comfortable?"
Qin Zhuo checked the temperature and said, "Thank you, Uncle. The temperature feels just right now, and I feel much more comfortable."
Father Shen patted Qin Zhuo on the shoulder, "Eat more later, recover quickly, so everyone can rest assured. But don't eat too much. Start eating normally at first, so your stomach can't take it and you don't put too much strain on your body."
Yu Xiang, who was listening nearby, immediately said, "Then I'll ask the housekeeper to prepare some nutritious breakfast for Zhuo Zhuo right now."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up, rushed out of the room, and hurried downstairs.
Watching Youxiang's departing figure, Shen's father smiled and said to Qin Zhuo, "Then, Qin, you should rest well. We'll go downstairs now and won't disturb you any longer."
Qin Zhuo nodded. "Mm."
Shen's father, Shen Jia, and Qiao Yan turned around and prepared to leave the room.
As Qin Zhuo watched the group about to leave the room, he suddenly seemed to remember something important and hurriedly called out to them, "Wait a minute, where is Yun Fei? Is he downstairs? Why didn't he come up?"
Upon hearing Qin Zhuo's question, the three of them stopped in their tracks, their expressions becoming quite complex.
Qiao Yan glanced at Shen's father and Shen Jia, and said softly, "You two go downstairs first. I'll talk to Qin Zhuo about Chen Yunfei's matter."
Shen's father took Shen Jia's hand and said, "Then Jia and I will go downstairs first. You two can chat slowly."
After the two left, Qiao Yan walked to Qin Zhuo's bedside, her eyes filled with self-reproach.
She looked at Qin Zhuo and said, "I'm sorry, Chen Yunfei was scratched by a zombie while saving me, and then he turned into a zombie."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhuo gripped the bedsheet tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. He suppressed his grief and asked in a low voice, "Did you kill him?"
In the apocalypse, when faced with a companion who has turned into a zombie, even if one feels extremely reluctant, most people will choose to deal with the person personally before they have completely turned into a zombie, in order to avoid causing greater harm.
Qiao Yan shook her head. "I can't do it. Watching him slowly turn into a zombie, I really can't bring myself to end his life."
Qin Zhuo frowned, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked, "Then why are you apologizing to me? I thought you..."
Qiao Yan lowered her head, "But Chen Yunfei is like this because of me... If he hadn't saved me, he wouldn't have become like this. I feel like I'm the one who ruined him."
Although Qin Zhuo was grief-stricken, she remained rational. "This was Yunfei's own choice. Since he chose to save you, it means he was willing to bear the consequences. You don't need to apologize to me; it's not your fault."
He knew that Yunfei wouldn't want to see Qiao Yan like this either.
