Every day, he meticulously recalled everything about him and his sister, not missing a single detail. He cried and laughed, laughed and cried, passing the days by relying on his memories and waiting.
Slowly, he began to have different feelings. He seemed to feel the wind and warm hands caressing his face, and he could vaguely hear birds chirping, cicadas singing, and Lu Zhufeng's noisy barking. He could also vaguely smell the familiar scent of roses.
He is reconnecting with the world.
The endless darkness slowly began to light up, until countless rays of light broke through the clouds, and the darkness dissipated.
Daylight broke.
His sister took him home.
*
When Xiao Wujie woke up, he was surrounded by many people.
Despite her eyes being bloodshot from lack of sleep, Chu Liyue stayed by his side as always, holding his hand.
Suddenly, the cool hand covering her moved slightly.
Chu Liyue turned around abruptly and met a pair of dark eyes that were staring at her intently.
His eyes were tinged with red, his long eyelashes were damp with moisture, and his thin, moist lips, which had regained their rosy hue, pursed as he trembled and uttered a single word: "Hug."
Chu Liyue's pupils dilated in shock. She grabbed him and pressed the alarm bell at the same time.
Xiao Shuihan gripped Xiao Wujie's hand tightly, leaned over the headboard, and cried uncontrollably: "Son, you're finally awake. If you hadn't woken up, your mother wouldn't have been able to stop me from jumping off the building."
Yunmo lay down beside Xiao Wujie's legs, tears soaking a large part of the quilt. She wiped her tears on the quilt, looked up and called out, "Teacher."
Lu Zhufeng scratched his head and muttered under his breath, "He just woke up, don't act like he's mourning!"
This was the scene that Ye Jinyu saw as soon as she entered.
Seeing that the medical staff were about to examine her, Luo Yilan and Chu Wan each grabbed her husband by the back of the neck and hugged him around the waist, coaxing him away.
Immediately afterward, the medical staff encountered a dilemma.
Xiao Wujie's eyes were red, his arms were tightly wrapped around Chu Liyue's waist, his face was pressed against Chu Liyue's heart, and he was pressed tightly against Chu Liyue's chest, refusing to let go even for a moment.
Chu Liyue said in a conciliatory tone, "Be good, let the doctor check you out first."
Tears welled up in Xiao Wujie's eyes, shimmering, and his voice trailed off, sounding so aggrieved as if he were about to cry: "I want a hug..."
Chu Liyue couldn't stand his pitiful look the most. She also knew the trauma of losing his senses recently was immense, and now that he'd just woken up, he was incredibly vulnerable. Just looking into his tear-filled eyes made her completely abandon all restraint, unable to harden her stance even a little.
"I'll hold it while I check!"
Xiao Wujie nodded, feeling extremely wronged, and buried his face in her arms, remaining motionless.
Ye Jinyu wanted to pull his hand over to check, but Chu Liyue coaxed her and grabbed his arm before he would let Ye Jinyu check.
It took half an hour to complete even a simple basic checkup.
"It's all over now."
"He'll stay in the hospital for observation for a few more days, and he can be discharged if there are no complications."
"Also, he lost all five senses and slept for too long, so his movements will be a little inconvenient for the time being and he will need to recover slowly."
Ye Jinyu left with a dark expression after leaving those words.
Chu Liyue held Xiao Wujie in one arm and gently pinched the tip of his nose with the other, her voice mature and sexy yet full of doting: "You're being naughty again, making a fuss as soon as you wake up."
Xiao Wujie's long eyelashes drooped, obscuring the trembling tears in his eyes. He wrapped his arms around Chu Liyue's neck, leaned close to her ear, and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Sister, I miss you."
I'm about to have a breakdown from thinking about it.
He doesn't want to leave her for even a second now.
A sudden surge of tears welled up in Chu Liyue's eyes. She cradled his head in her arms, her fingertips stroking his cheek, and said in a hoarse voice, "Sister misses her sweet baby too."
I couldn't sleep all night, and I was restless and unable to sit still.
"Then... sister, give me a kiss."
After the surgery, Xiao Wujie's complexion improved considerably, his handsome face regained some color, and his thin lips, which had been pale all day, were now tinged with pink.
A touch of red at the corner of his eye, like a blooming peach blossom, was breathtakingly beautiful. His eyes held a mixture of grievance and expectation, exuding a unique charm. His slightly pouting pink lips were glistening with moisture, making one want to bully and ravage them.
Chu Liyue gently pinched his neck and kissed him.

The dimly lit corridor was deathly silent.
Suddenly, the crisp, clear sound of high heels clattered, and a few faint metallic clanging sounds echoed in the room.
A slender figure stood before a fenced gate, casting a cold, indifferent gaze into the room.
A tall figure, bound by heavy iron chains, sat with his back slightly bent and knees bent on the cold ground.
He looked up, the dim light illuminating his face—it was… Chu Yichen.
"Grandpa has seen you?" Chu Liyue's voice was chillingly cold.
"Hmm..." Chu Yichen's handsome face looked slightly haggard. He looked up at Chu Liyue and then gave a low "hmm" after a moment.
What do you want to see me for?
Chu Yichen clenched his arm, causing the chains to clang, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Can't I see you if there's nothing wrong?"
Chu Liyue immediately turned around.
"Then why did you come to see me?" Chu Yichen's deep voice suddenly came. "I am now a prisoner, and you can choose not to see me."
In the dim light, his dark eyes were fixed on Chu Liyue's eyes, trying to discern something from them.
But Chu Liyue's eyes showed no change whatsoever. Her gaze was sharp as she coldly said, "You know best why I came to see you."
Two years ago, he saved her life in Haijing Bay.
Two years later, he used the same reason to ask Chu Yuntian to pass on a message, wanting to see her.
"If you don't give me the answer in two minutes, I'm leaving immediately."
Her time is very precious, and she only came out now because her little darling was asleep and she was sneaking over.
She's so vulnerable right now, she needs to be pampered and coaxed in every way. If she doesn't see her when she wakes up, she'll probably have to kneel on a washboard to coax her.
Thinking of this, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, a curve that could be described as happiness.
