Chapter 28: Not Understanding But Respecting
The white light was dazzling. Jiang Jiu took a while to adjust before slowly opening her eyes. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes due to irritation, and her vision was blurred.
She could only vaguely see a figure crouching in front of her.
"Girl, you finally woke up!"
Bai Ze said this in an old and hoarse voice, which made Jiang Jiu inexplicably want to cry.
This familiar voice, this familiar concern. In the fantasy world, she was threatened with death every day and even encountered a horror movie-level bus attack. To be honest, how could she not be afraid?
When the memories came to mind, Jiang Jiu couldn't stop crying and started to flow.
"Hey, hey, hey, little girl, why are you still crying? Are you feeling uncomfortable after just waking up?"
Bai Ze didn't know what was going on. When he saw Jiang Jiu wake up and start crying, he couldn't help but panic.
"I'm fine. It's great to see you again."
Jiang Jiu listened to Bai Ze's panic and burst into laughter on the spot. She was the only one who could make Bai Ze, a lucky beast that had lived for countless years, so worried.
"Little girl, you're going to scare me to death..."
Bai Ze was helpless.
"They're awake too. Do you want to go check it out?"
Jiang Jiu was just about to get up and go see them when a few thoughts suddenly flashed through his head.
Do they still remember the memories in the illusion?
If she remembered, wouldn't she be completely exposed?
If they knew that she was not Jiang Jiu but a wandering soul from another world, would something terrible happen?
Heaven has said that they must not know!
etc!
The more Jiang Jiu thought about it, the more panicked he became. His body froze in place. For a moment, he didn't know whether to go and see them, nor did he know whether to not see them.
He entered the illusion to save her. Even though he didn't help much, it doesn't mean that she can just ignore it and not care, right?
After meeting...
Jiang Jiu wanted to cry but had no tears. She stared at Bai Ze for a while, then she lay back down leisurely.
"Hmm... let's wait and see."
She said so.
"?"
Bai Ze looked at Jiang Jiu lying peacefully, touched his chin and felt that things were not simple.
Just when Bai Ze was about to figure out the reason, there was a knock on the door.
"Junior sister, are you there?"
Yun Shuili's extremely beautiful voice fell into Jiang Jiu's ears at this moment, which was like a death warrant. She stood up with a start, opened her mouth to say something, but in the end no word came out.
Jiang Jiu looked at Bai Ze with a look of help and sent him a message.
'Save my life and say I'm not awake.'
Bai Ze looked at Jiang Jiu in confusion, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke to the outside of the door.
"The little girl hasn't woken up yet."
Bai Ze’s main theme is misunderstanding but respect.
"How could it be....Let me go in and take a look at my junior sister."
Yun Shuili knocked on the door again with disbelief in his voice.
Jiang Jiu immediately gave Bai Ze another 'save me' look, signaling Bai Ze not to let him in.
"The little girl is not in good condition, please don't come in yet."
Bai Ze's speechlessness could no longer be described by any expression, but he still cooperated with Jiang Jiu.
“…”
It was quiet outside the door, and after a while Yun Shuili's faint voice was heard.
"Okay, I understand. Let Junior Sister have a good rest."
When Yun Shuili said this, the expression on Jiang Jiu's face froze on the spot.
Very good, he guessed that she was awake.
Bai Ze sighed and shook his head, then turned to look at Jiang Jiu.
"What bad things have you done again?"
It’s no wonder Bai Ze thinks this way. The scene of Jiang Jiu being blocked by seven men in the ruins is still vivid in his mind. Looking at Jiang Jiu’s guilty expression now, Bai Ze knows without hesitation that it is Jiang Jiu’s fault.
“…I didn’t do anything…”
Jiang Jiu felt guilty when he said this, and his mood was indescribable.
Before Jiang Jiu could explain, Yu Zimo's voice was heard again from outside the door. His tone was calm, but it carried an inexplicable eerie feeling.
"Xiao Jiu'er, I have something to ask you."
Jiang Jiu subconsciously hinted at Bai Ze again with his eyes, only to see Bai Ze's expression become even more speechless.
"People haven't woken up yet."
Bai Ze said skillfully.
"oh?"
Yu Zimo's intriguing words made Jiang Jiu break out in a cold sweat.
"I'm really not awake."
Bai Ze is already very old and is a divine beast. He never does anything deceptive. Who would have thought that this situation would happen today?
It can be considered as going against the principle for the sake of ginger wine.
"Okay, then I'll have a good chat with her when she wakes up."
Yu Zimo didn't argue any further and even emphasized two syllables in his speech, which made Jiang Jiu feel creepy.
After Yu Zimo left outside, Jiang Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
“…”
Bai Ze opened his mouth and was about to continue asking when Xiao Nianzhong's voice came from outside again.
"I want to see ginger wine."
Jiang Jiu and Bai Ze looked at each other, and she immediately gave Bai Ze a flattering smile.
Bai Ze pulled the corners of his mouth with a forced smile, his voice and expression conveying completely different meanings.
"She's not awake yet, come back later."
Xiao Nianzhong outside the door was silent for a moment, and there was a hint of loneliness in his evil voice.
"Since she doesn't want to see me, I'll leave first."
The footsteps gradually faded away, and Jiang Jiu no longer cared whether he had hurt Xiao Meiqiu's feelings. He was just about to seize the time to explain to Bai Ze.
The knock on the door sounded again.
"Jiujiu, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?!"
Long Xuan's tone was urgent, and it was obvious that he cared deeply about Jiang Jiu.
“....”
Veins popped up on Bai Ze's forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Jiang Jiu felt more and more guilty.
"She...isn't awake yet! Come back later!"
There was a hint of anger in his voice.
"Oh... oh, okay."
Long Xuan outside the door seemed to be frightened by the voice. He answered cautiously and was a little dazed.
After everyone left, Bai Ze's expression was almost expressionless, even worse than speechless.
"that....."
Jiang Jiu swallowed quietly, and just after saying two words, he heard the door again...
"Senior Bai Ze, how is Jiu'er?"
Ji Chen's voice was as clear and detached as ever, and one could faintly hear the concern in his words.
"She's fine!"
Bai Ze replied with a dark face.
"I can....."
Just as Ji Chen was about to speak, he heard Bai Ze continue speaking.
"Just haven't woken up yet."
The rest of Ji Chen's words were blocked and he fell into silence.
Soon, Ji Chen's footsteps were heard gradually fading away.
"I can tell you now."
Bai Ze is on the verge of exploding.
"It's just... they saw something a little different from what they imagined..."
She was the one who asked Bai Ze to help block the people, so she had to bite the bullet and explain.
It’s really hard to say in modern times.
Then....
Fo Jiang's voice rang in the ears of the two.
"Donor Jiang, are you still unwilling to get up?"
