Chapter 372 The Real World (Part 2)
Obviously, Beixi fell asleep with Nanhuan's new incarnation every night, but maybe the two previous separations from Nanhuan were very tragic, so after completely coming out of the game, Beixi's sleep was not very good.
Even though she knew that those tragic separations were a thing of the past and Nan Huan was now sleeping peacefully beside her in another form, she still dreamed of the scene of him separating from her every night.
Today was no exception. Her emotions were fluctuating greatly and her eyelids were swollen and uncomfortable. She wanted to press the tired Taiyangxue with the hand away from Nanhuan, but as soon as she raised her hand, she realized something was wrong.
The warm touch of the egg on the collarbone had long disappeared, replaced by the warm body temperature in his arms, with a familiar breath. Bei Xi's half-raised hand froze there.
I woke up instantly, but was worried that it was just a dream, so I didn't dare to move too much, until the person I saw was that familiar face.
She seemed a little smaller than before and her face looked younger. One side of her face was pressed against her arm. She was sleeping soundly, her cheeks were rosy, and her skin was even more pink and tender than that of a newborn baby.
Bei Xi even breathed lighter, fearing that she was having a beautiful dream. If she moved a little, the dream would shatter like a bubble. Nan Huan had not changed at all in terms of looks and appearance, but Bei Xi felt that something was different about him.
After careful observation, she found that the illness that had originally appeared in the other person had disappeared. She looked energetic, and the worry between her brows was gone. She exuded an atmosphere of peace and tranquility that made people reluctant to disturb her.
Nan Huan felt as if she had slept for a long time. Sometimes she could hear Bei Xi calling her. Every time this happened, she would try her best to stay awake and listen to what the other person said. However, her body was too tired, and it seemed as if she had encountered some major change. She was unable to recover her strength for a while, and soon fell into a deep sleep again.
But every time she didn't dare to sleep too deeply, worried that she would never hear Bei Xi's voice again when she opened her eyes. Sometimes she would vaguely remember her decision, her determination towards Bei Xi, and that she should no longer exist in this world. But that was only a moment of clarity, and was soon submerged by complete darkness.
But each time it was not completely dark, because she would always see a little light, like a beacon guiding her home, and that familiar smell, pulling her closer. She unconsciously got closer and found that her body's strength was slowly recovering, and she could hear Bei Xi's voice more and more.
She didn't know what the situation was, nor did she know where she was. She tried calling out to Tiandao and also tried to respond to Beixi, but they didn't respond at all. In this pitch dark place, it seemed that she was the only one.
Sometimes, she would feel that the process of absorbing strength was so boring that she would daydream and want to fall into a deep sleep. But every time she heard Bei Xi's voice, her sanity would briefly return, and she would remember that she had promised Bei Xi that she would be able to go back, so she had to try hard to stay awake.
The process of trying to piece herself together into a human form from a fragmented state was extremely painful, as if she were experiencing the pain of having her heart shattered all over again. Sometimes, she had a bad temper and felt that no one was with her, so she would deliberately ignore Bei Xi's voice and not respond to her call.
But every time at this time, Bei Xi would always call her over and over again without getting tired of it. Soon she could no longer resist and responded actively. As she absorbed more and more power, her memory gradually came back.
Although Nan Huan didn't know what was going on and found that she seemed to have not left this world, she still wanted to seize this opportunity to recover as soon as possible and meet Bei Xi, because she didn't know when she could see Bei Xi's dreams.
Perhaps it was the connection between the two of them that allowed her to see these things, but she didn't want to see those scenes again after having seen them once. However, Bei Xi was experiencing such pain every night, which made her feel very distressed. She had to try to move, trying to soothe Bei Xi's pain, but the new incarnation didn't seem to be so flexible or easy to use. She could only roll around and could do nothing.
At this time, Nan Huan's attitude would become very irritable, a kind of anger at being powerless to change her situation, but often in the end her rationality would return and she would try to recover as quickly as possible.
It was unknown how long it had been, but Nan Huan was already able to get completely close to the light in the darkness. When she saw Bei Xi crying again, the tears fell on her body along with the light. In an instant, the light began to spread, and the space she was in was being illuminated little by little.
Until the last moment, the entire dark space was completely illuminated, cracks began to appear, and after a dazzling light appeared, she seemed to lose consciousness for a short time.
When she regained consciousness, Nan Huan's first feeling was that she seemed no longer isolated in a certain space. All her senses were no longer restricted and were very smooth. She slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes just happened to meet Bei Xi's, who had been looking at her for quite a while. The surprise, astonishment, panic, fear and relief in the other's eyes were fully revealed in an instant.
"you……"
It had been a long time since a normal human sound was made. Nan Huan tried her best not to act like a toddler. But as soon as she opened her mouth and said nothing, Bei Xi hugged her in a tough manner.
The two of them were lying on the bed, and the morning sunlight shone through the white gauze, creating a beautiful arc in the air. However, Nan Huan had not appreciated this familiar scene for a few seconds before his eyes fell on Bei Xi's collarbone again.
"You're finally back."
Bei Xi's voice was a little hoarse, not sure if it was because she was too excited or because she had just woken up. Although she tried her best to hide it, Nan Huan could still feel her arms hugging him, so tightly that they were shaking.
She relaxed her body and hugged him back, "I'm back."
The familiar voice and breath finally made Bei Xi realize that Nan Huan had finally returned to her side. He was a living person who could talk and laugh, not someone who could only perform a one-man show and for whom she was only responsible for listening.
Bei Xi clearly had a lot to say to Nan Huan, but the moment she saw him, those words no longer seemed important. It was also as if everything she wanted to say had been melted into this tight embrace.
——
There was so much chaos in the morning that Beixi and Nanhuan didn't actually have a few serious words to say.
Because he woke up a little later than usual, Uncle Nan, who was worried, came up to ask about the situation and happened to see Nan Huan who had just transformed into a human form again.
The sudden joy and the anxious heart finally settled down, and Uncle Nan ordered everyone in the family around, from food to clothes. In the end, before breakfast was even served on the table, several doctors came and examined Nan Huan.
Fortunately, because she had been unwell before, all kinds of examination equipment were still available at home, so it was not too difficult. It was not until the doctors showed shocked expressions on their faces that Uncle Nan believed that Nan Huan had finally recovered.
But in fact, Nan Huan's physical condition was largely due to the weakness caused by Shen Qi's breaking his heart into pieces. Now, Nan Huan has recovered miraculously thanks to the weak connection with Bei Xi's body, and he is no longer as weak as before.
Considering that the real reason would scare a lot of people, Nan Huan chose to keep his mouth shut and honestly accepted the modern medical examination of his body. During the whole process, Bei Xi did not express any opinions, but seemed very silent, but her eyes were always on Nan Huan.
Nan Huan originally thought it was a big deal. After all, if she had a choice, she would certainly want to look Bei Xi in the eye and say something. But not long after, she felt something was wrong, because in the past, Bei Xi's eyes always looked at her with many complex emotions, and she could notice it at the first moment in different occasions.
But now, she could feel that there was a kind of panic suppressed in Bei Xi's eyes. The other party looked at her without blinking, not as if she wanted to tell her anything from the heart, but more like she was afraid that she might disappear at any time. So even though she didn't say anything, her eyes were always glued to her, and she would follow her wherever she went.
Nan Huan's heart felt like it was pricked by a thin needle, a little sour and painful. He finally realized at this moment that his departure had caused great harm to Bei Xi. It was so great that even though he had returned, the other party was always worried about when he would leave, as if he was not sure that such a situation would really happen.
After a lot of effort, after breakfast had ended and the huge crowd had completely dispersed, the two finally found an opportunity to talk.
In the study, Nan Huan saw the photo of himself on the desk and finally felt like he was back in the real world. It was no longer the lines drawn by Bei Xi with stick figures in the game, but a real photo.
She suddenly had an idea and thought of other things, "Have you dealt with everything in the game?"
Facing Bei Xi's somewhat oppressive gaze, Nan Huan tried to start with other topics and prepared to take it slowly.
Bei Xi's expression did not change, but a complex emotion quickly flashed in her eyes. After a moment, she spoke calmly, "The players have returned to their original world, including those who died in the game. After being purified, their evil thoughts have no place to go, so I let them live in the game temporarily with those of my kind. I will go back to see them every once in a while. They get along well. As for Xie Shen and Man Wugui, it is not clear what their situation is after being purified. Tiandao said that if they have the opportunity to atone for their sins, they still have a chance to be purified. Tiandao is now free from control and no longer has the right to predict everything. Occasionally, he will transform into a human form and cheat us for food and drink..."
Although Bei Xi's tone was calm, she seemed to be suppressing something. After she had explained everything, she stood up from her chair and looked down at Nan Huan. "So you finally came back, is this all you want to know?"
By the time Nan Huan realized something was wrong, it was too late, because she was completely trapped in the chair by Bei Xi's arms. She could only look up and try to comfort him, "No, all I want to know is whether you are doing well. The others are just asking by the way."
Nan Huan said this almost instinctively. She hurriedly expressed her loyalty. Just kidding, she was very familiar with the signs that Bei Xi was about to lose her temper. Moreover, judging from her own crimes, she had a long history of bad deeds. She had hoped that the two of them would be reunited after a long separation, and perhaps the joy would cover up everything, such as some of her behaviors at that time, but now it seems that Bei Xi might note it down clearly.
"Really?" Bei Xi murmured as she moved closer, her entire body pressed against Nan Huan's. "Then it's time for us to settle accounts. Besides, it looks like your body has recovered..."
Nan Huan didn't have time to think, his rapidly beating heart had already expressed his longing.
