After learning the truth, Dugu Cang felt extremely regretful.
After seeing Miaomiao, my gray heart suddenly came to life.
A glimmer of light appeared in his gloomy eyes.
He, Wan'er and Miaomiao are children. Since Wan'er was able to give birth to this child without him knowing, changed her name and surname along the way, and did not abandon this child even after traveling to different places, it shows that she cherishes this child very much in her heart.
Then for Miaomiao, Wanmei will also wake up.
Dugu Cang forced himself to cheer up and said to Mother Su, "Aunt Su, after Miaomiao wakes up, can you take him to see Wanmei?"
Su's mother nodded.
Miaomiao was too young, and she didn't want him to see Wan'er sleeping soundly, for fear that he would be too sad.
However, later she thought that mother and child are connected by heart, and maybe Miaomiao could wake Wan'er up?
Dugu Cang received a positive response from Su's mother and smiled.
Although he has regained a bit of vitality now, that smile is still extremely bitter.
"Aunt Su, I've been out for too long. I have to go back to see my younger sister."
Dugu Cang was afraid of waking Miaomiao up, so he tiptoed out of the room and walked back to the main courtyard alone.
Looking at Dugu Cang's silent and desolate back, Su's mother sighed silently.
She clasped her hands together and prayed to the heavens, "Wan'er, please wake up soon."
————
Perhaps the gods in heaven heard Su Mu's prayers, but as soon as Dugu Cang returned to the main courtyard, the maidservant in the room hurried over and said, "Your Highness, go check on Miss Su. Miss Su's hands moved twice!"
"Really!" Dugu Cang's eyes widened, he was surprised and happy, and rushed into the house.
"Wanmei!" He ran to the bed and stared at the person sleeping peacefully on the bed.
But after staring for a long time, the person on the bed didn't move at all.
The little maid was panicked, "Your Highness, I clearly saw Miss Su's hands move a few times just now, really, I really saw it..."
Dugu Cang's eyes became dim again, and he waved his hands weakly, "Nothing, you can go down."
He thought that perhaps the maid had seen it wrong. Although it was a false alarm, there was no need to blame her.
The master said that Wanmei's condition is very stable and she is recovering well. She will wake up sooner or later.
As long as I stay by her side and take good care of her, I will definitely be able to wait until the moment she opens her eyes.
"Miss Su, it's time to take your medicine. Please go and bring it over." Dugu Cang ordered.
The little maid agreed and turned to leave the room. Dugu Cang walked silently to the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Brother Cang..."
A weak voice sounded in Dugu Cang's ears, his hand trembled, and he almost spilled the tea.
But he didn't look back.
During this period, he often had auditory hallucinations, and his younger sister's voice calling him "Brother Cang" would always ring in his ears.
She had a childish voice when she was little, a cute voice when she grew into a young girl, and later when we met, her gentle and smiling voice...
"Brother Cang..."
The voice rang out again, clearly, coming from behind him.
Dugu Cang was stunned, his whole body stiffened. The teacup that he raised to his mouth fell onto the table with a bang, and the tea poured out. The full cup of tea splashed out, soaking Dugu Cang's clothes and leaving a small stain.
Dugu Cang turned stiffly and met the eyes he had been thinking about day and night.
The crystal-like eyes are as clean as if washed by rain. It is not the purity of being ignorant of the world, but the clarity of being experienced in the world and seeing everything clearly.
"Brother Cang, you're back." She smiled, as if they had never been apart.
Dugu Cang's chest suddenly shrank and tears almost burst out.
He bit his lip, trying hard to hold back his tears, and said with a smile: "Wanmei, I'm back."
He tried his best to force a smile, but it was uglier than crying.
Su Wanti waved her hand, "Brother Cang, come here, let me take a good look at you."
"Yeah." Dugu Cang walked over obediently and sat beside the bed.
Su Wanti propped herself up. After lying down for so many days, her body was still very weak. Dugu Cang supported her and let her lean on him.
Su Wanti raised her head slightly and reached out to touch Dugu Cang's cheek, inch by inch, very lightly and carefully.
"Brother Cang, you have changed..." Su Wanti's voice was soft and full of heartache.
Dugu Cang's breathing stagnated, "Wanmei, do you remember?"
Su Wanti nodded. "I remember everything now. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. I should have recognized you..."
"No, don't say sorry to me, it's my fault." Dugu Cang's tears rolled down and fell into Su Wanti's palm.
He shook his head gently, "It's all my fault. I didn't know you suffered so much for me. I didn't know you were beaten and seriously injured because of me. And yet I still misunderstood you and blamed you..."
"It's all in the past, Brother Cang. Now that you're back, you're back by my side. I'm content."
Su Wanti wiped away his tears and gently touched the scar under his left eye with her fingers.
She remembered that he had so many scars on his body that she couldn't count them all.
"Brother Cang, why did you get so many injuries? It must be so painful..." Her tears also flowed down.
In the past, he was a young master from a wealthy family. He devoted himself to his studies and had never suffered any hardship.
But when they met again, he was already scarred and cold-hearted.
In just a few years, he transformed from a weak scholar into a cold and cruel regent. No one knew how much pain he had experienced.
And the scars on his body... He is now a man who has survived a near-death experience, and the position of regent was earned with his life.
Su Wanti's tears rolled down. She remembered every scar on his body and gently stroked them through his clothes.
Dugu Cang pretended to be relaxed and said, "I never saw you care about me before, and you always counted the scars on my body for fun. Why do you feel distressed now?..."
"It's different..." Su Wanti choked.
When I didn't know he was Jiang Cang, I was shocked to see all the scars on his body, and I sincerely admired and respected him...
After knowing that he was Jiang Cang, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken when I thought about the weak young boy who had fought for his life to get to where he is today.
Su Wanti hugged Dugu Cang tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear.
"Brother Cang, I had a terrible dream. I dreamed that you jumped into the river. The river was wide and deep, and the water was black. After you jumped in, there was not even a splash, and you were swallowed by the black river water... I was so scared in the dream that I woke up in fright."
"How long have I slept?" She tilted her head back and looked into his eyes.
