"Wow!!!"
Ye Xinchu's loud shout startled Yixing as well.
Yixing clutched his heaving chest: "Sister Xinchu, you scared me."
Ye Xinchu, quick to anger: "Please, who's scaring whom!"
The next second, she realized that she had let something slip.
She covered her mouth in a panic.
Yixing noticed something amiss: "Sister Xinchu, where's Youning? Is Youning home?"
No...it's not here.
"I don't believe it! I won't leave until I see You Ning!"
"Look! Your sister!" Ye Xinchu could only point behind him.
Yi Xing remained unmoved: "Even if my sister comes, it won't make a difference."
Yixing didn't think he could be fooled by such tricks used to deceive children.
"Oh?" Jiang Li's voice sounded from behind him.
Yi Xing shivered.
He was then picked up by Jiang Li. "Sorry, this brat is asking for trouble. I'll take him back and teach him a lesson."
Yixing struggled to jump down, pushed Jiang Li away, and hugged Ye Xinchu's leg: "I won't go, I won't go, I won't leave until I see You Ning!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinchu sighed and said, "Alright then."
Jiang Li shook her head.
Ye Xinchu spoke up for him: "You can hide it for a while, but can you hide it forever?"
Jiang Li then gave in.
Ye Xinchu led Yixing to You Ning's room.
Ye Xinchu took out her key and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, the blast of cold air made Yixing shiver.
"Sister Xinchu, don't you want to turn off the air conditioning? No matter how hot it is in the summer, there's no need to turn it so cold... right?"
Yi Xing's pupils contracted sharply, his body trembled uncontrollably, his tongue tasted bitter, and his fingertips quivered slightly.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
The bed, made entirely of ice, froze the light gauze curtains stiff. You Ning lay on it, her breath no longer rising and falling.
She lay quietly on the bed, like a newly sculpted porcelain doll, lifeless and unresponsive, beautiful in name only.
The entire room was frozen solid.
Ignoring the cold, Yixing ran inside. His hand had barely touched Youning's arm when it was jolted back by the frostbite.
Good ice.
He looked at Ye Xinchu in confusion, "What's wrong with Ningning?"
After exchanging glances, Ye Xinchu and Jiang Li decided to lie to him.
But Yixing seemed to know them too well and knew they would lie to him.
"I don't want to be deceived." He placed his hand on You Ning's hand and held it despite the cold.
His voice was soft, yet it struck Ye Xinchu and Jiang Li's hearts like a heavy hammer.
Ye Xinchu then told the truth:
“That day, you used up too much magic, your organs were failing, your blood was boiling, your magic was running rampant, and your body was so overdrawn that it couldn’t be taken back, and you were on the verge of a crisis.”
"By the time the professional doctors from the capital arrive, he will be dead."
“You Ning forcibly awakened her ability and used her own magic to freeze your magic, preventing it from deteriorating further, which is how you managed to hold on until the doctor arrived.”
"Your parents have repeatedly emphasized that You Ning cannot use her abilities, because if she does, it will backfire and freeze her, and no one knows when she will wake up."
The cold air emanating from Yixing's hands grew stronger and stronger, freezing his palms and causing him excruciating pain.
But he didn't care about that.
"You Ning is an idiot."
"You Ning is an idiot..."
"The dumbest idiot."
Tears from Yixing's eyes fell onto his hand, and he didn't realize he was crying.
He just kept saying:
"You Ning is a big idiot!"
Jiang Li wanted to go over, but Ye Xinchu stopped her.
They quietly slipped out of the room, closed the door, and left them alone.
Yixing's hands were so frozen he couldn't feel them, but he refused to let go.
Looking at You Ning's serene and beautiful face, he could no longer utter the word "idiot."
He opened his mouth, his dry, aching throat irritating his nerves.
He only said one last sentence:
"I'll be there when you wake up."
Yixing would wake up 20 minutes earlier than before every day to come over early and say good morning to Youning.
Go back to school.
After school in the afternoon, he would first go to You Ning's room and tell her what he had experienced that day.
When it's time for dinner, after he gets home, eats, and finishes his homework, he'll bring a storybook and come over to tell her stories.
Every time the story gets to the point where the princess wakes up—
He would think about it.
When will his little lemon princess wake up?
But it's okay.
He can wait indefinitely.
He sat by You Ning's bedside, leaning against the edge, and drew a new stroke on the page of the diary in his hand—
Day 357.
Spring came and autumn went, and he spent the next three years with You Ning.
That day.
It's very hot in the summer.
Ke Yixing was dressed warmly, carrying many books with him: "Sigh, I'm almost of school age for magic academy. Let's have a lecture on the history of magic today!"
Grandma tidied his hair and said, "When Yi'er talks about the history of magic, you have to be attentive and serious. That way, when you take the exam together, there won't be too many problems."
"Grandma, don't worry! I'll definitely tell the history of magic well, otherwise when You Ning wakes up, she'll complain that I didn't tell it well—"
"If she fails the assessment, she'll definitely blame me, and I don't want her to pin the blame on me!"
Yixing still hasn't given up on his dream of becoming a magician with Youning.
Grandma didn't discourage him; instead, she encouraged him, saying:
"Alright, Yi'er, hurry up and go. Come back early for dinner tonight."
"Um!"
After Yixing left, Grandma looked worried and said, "Sigh, I wonder when Youning will wake up."
Grandpa Yixing came over, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly, "Didn't Yi'er say that Xiao Ning definitely has talent? He will definitely be able to wait until the day when he and Xiao Ning become magicians together?"
