This realization excited Gu Qingqiu. Was Yan Shengxiao finally about to wake up?
Calculating the time, it has been almost two months since Yan Shengxiao had the car accident. According to the information from the male protagonist system, he will indeed wake up in a few months.
Perhaps this is the first step in Yan Shengxiao's physical recovery.
However, if he wakes up and finds out that he was forced to marry a woman he doesn't know, and that this woman is touching him inappropriately every day, he'll definitely be unhappy.
Will Yan Shengxiao dislike her? Will he just give her a sum of money and force her to leave?
Now it was Gu Qingqiu's turn to start overthinking. What if Yan Shengxiao wouldn't allow her to get close to him in the future?
Gu Qingqiu once again delved into her sea of consciousness and looked at the countdown display screen, which showed 302 days, 8 hours, 16 minutes, and 50 seconds remaining.
Thankfully, Gu Qingqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She still had time, but she couldn't delay any longer. Yan Shengxiao's senses were slowly returning, and he would wake up soon.
Gu Qingqiu developed a habit: the first thing she did every morning when she woke up was to kiss Yan Shengxiao's cheek, and the last thing she did before going to sleep was also to kiss Yan Shengxiao's cheek.
Even though three days later, after the experience bar reached 45% and then stopped moving, Gu Qingqiu still maintained this habit.
After discovering that the experience bar was not moving, Gu Qingqiu used a whole set of "sticky techniques". In addition to maintaining physical contact with Yan Shengxiao almost all day, helping him take a bath and kissing him were also necessary. Even so, the experience bar was still 45%.
Gu Qingqiu: [System! System! Can you check if there's a bug? Why isn't my experience bar increasing?]
Male Protagonist System: [Host, don't panic. The experience bar is indeed increasing. The current progress is 45.032%, which was just rounded off when displayed.]
Gu Qingqiu: [What's going on? Why is my experience bar suddenly increasing so slowly? If this continues, my mission might really fail! I've done everything I was supposed to do, what other way can I think of to increase my experience bar?]
Male Protagonist System: [Host, are you sure you did everything?]
Gu Qingqiu's expression could only be described as "panic-stricken," and she stammered for a long time.
Gu Qingqiu: […Um, no… I mean… do I need to go to that extent?]
Male Protagonist System: [It is indeed somewhat difficult for the host to operate this alone.]
Gu Qingqiu: [...You mean, following the conventional approach, I definitely won't be able to max out my experience bar before Yan Shengxiao wakes up, right?]
Male protagonist system: [That's one way to understand it.]
Gu Qingqiu: ...Thanks for the invitation. Can I commit suicide now?
Gu Qingqiu now truly understands what it means to be on the verge of tears. She has clearly stopped slacking off and has been working so hard, yet she still cannot complete the task. If she has to leave Yan Shengxiao's side, won't she only be able to live out the last two or three hundred days of her life?
...
Yan Shengxiao felt that his little bride was not very happy these past two days. When she hugged him, she would always sigh intentionally or unintentionally. He didn't know why she was like this. She had been with him these past few days and shouldn't have suffered any grievances elsewhere. Why was she like this?
It seems that the bride has been very perfunctory when kissing his cheek these past two days, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Could it be... that the young bride is sad because of me?
Yan Shengxiao was a little confused and felt a little sorry for her. He could now slightly control his fingers, so he gently hooked his little finger around the bride's finger.
The young bride paused, then sighed.
Yan Shengxiao: ……
Now Yan Shengxiao was certain that the little bride's sadness these past few days was because of him.
But why? Why is the bride unhappy that he can move her? Doesn't she want him to wake up?
Yan Shengxiao thought about it carefully and found it terrifying to think about.
Yes, how could he forget how excited the young bride was when she first met him!
At the time, he thought the bride was attracted by his outstanding appearance, but there was also a possibility that... the bride might just like pretty dolls.
So, the little bride snuggling with herself is simply because she enjoys sleeping with a pretty doll? And bathing herself is just about enjoying the pleasure of bathing her doll?
Now that this large, beautiful doll has actually "come to life," will the little bride be scared? Will she stop liking herself?
For a moment, Yan Shengxiao even wished he could really become a beautiful doll that the little bride would love forever and never get tired of. How wonderful it would be if he could be loved by her forever.
But Yan Shengxiao quickly dismissed the idea.
No, he wants to wake up.
If he doesn't wake up, he won't be able to see his little bride, and he won't know what his little bride looks like.
During this time together, Yan Shengxiao had imagined the image of his little bride countless times in his mind, but no matter how much he imagined it, it was ultimately a blurry and colorless phantom, and he would never be satisfied with that.
However, in order to soothe the young bride's emotions, Yan Shengxiao decided to hold back for now and not put too much psychological pressure on her until he could fully control his body.
Gu Qingqiu hesitated for several days about whether to tell Yan Shengxiao that his fingers could move, but it was an occasional phenomenon. For example, when she woke up, she found that Yan Shengxiao's hand posture had changed, and sometimes he would put his hand on her waist.
However, Yan Shengxiao's fingers hardly moved during the day, and Gu Qingqiu was afraid of disappointing others, so she decided to keep it a secret for the time being. Moreover, recently... Yan Shengxiao has hardly moved his fingers at all.
In addition, with the winter vacation coming to an end, Gu Qingqiu could no longer spend 24 hours a day with Yan Shengxiao, nor could she carefully observe the changes in Yan Shengxiao's body.
Let's not talk about it for now...
Gu Qingqiu's new semester is about to begin. Because she submitted her application in advance, she will not need to live on campus this semester, but she will still have to go to school according to the class schedule.
Fortunately, there aren't many classes this semester, only 7 classes a week. Although I have to go out every day, I'm not so busy that I can't get home until very late.
Yan Shengxiao didn't know that Gu Qingqiu had started school. He only knew that his little bride seemed to be busy again recently, going out every day.
Is the bride busy with her own things now? Has she made plans to go out with friends? Is she tired of herself?
Is it because you feel you're no longer a quiet, obedient, and beautiful doll that you've lost interest in yourself?
Having grown accustomed to Gu Qingqiu's presence, being alone was a torment for Yan Shengxiao.
