Liu Xinyue excitedly grabbed Lin Hai’s arm.
“Lin Hai, are you saying my dad will wake up tonight?”
“I think so.” Lin Hai wasn’t entirely sure either. After all, the Golden Flower Boy had said that taking the pills separately like this wasn’t a hundred percent guaranteed to wake him up.
“Then let’s go back right now.” Liu Xinyue was already getting impatient.
“Alright, let’s go!” Lin Hai got in the car and drove straight to Liu Xinyue’s home.
On the way, Liu Xinyue had already called her mother. The moment they arrived, Zhao Fang and Liu Xinqing both greeted them with excited faces.
“Xiao Hai, your uncle—he really can wake up today?” Zhao Fang asked Lin Hai, both nervous and excited.
“I’ll give it a try.” Lin Hai didn’t dare make any promises.
Together, the group entered Liu Shan’s bedroom.
Lin Hai first reached out and checked Liu Shan’s pulse.
Everything was normal, no different from before.
“Give me a moment.” Lin Hai turned and went into the bedroom next door.
“Hey, why are you going into my room!” Liu Xinqing saw this and hurried to stop him, but Lin Hai had already stepped inside first.
“Uh—” The moment Lin Hai walked in, he saw a pile of colorful things on the bed and immediately felt awkward.
“Get out, get out!” Liu Xinqing pushed Lin Hai out with a red face. She hadn’t had time to put away the underwear she’d changed out of yet.
Lin Hai had no choice but to go to another room, open WeChat, and extract the last Resurrection Pill.
Holding the Resurrection Pill in his hand, Lin Hai walked up to Liu Shan, feeling a bit nervous himself.
“Success or failure depends on this one move!” Lin Hai let out a long breath and fed the pill to Liu Shan.
The pill dissolved the moment it entered his mouth. Lin Hai and Liu Xinyue’s whole family had their hearts in their throats, staring at Liu Shan without blinking.
“Heaven’s Eye, open!” Lin Hai recited silently, and a layer of blue mist covered his eyes.
Lin Hai stared at Liu Shan without looking away, observing the changes in Liu Shan’s soul.
“They’ve merged!” Lin Hai felt a surge of joy. Liu Shan’s soul and body had completely become one, with no trace of a double image anymore.
“Finally successful!” Lin Hai’s heart relaxed.
“Lin Hai, how is it?” Seeing Lin Hai’s relaxed expression, Liu Xinyue felt a surge of happiness and quickly asked.
“There shouldn’t be any problem now.” Lin Hai’s face was also full of joy.
“Yay, that’s great!” Liu Xinqing jumped up high with happiness.
“Wonderful, wonderful, he’s finally going to wake up.” Zhao Fang wept tears of joy, tears pattering down drop by drop.
“Mom.” Liu Xinyue walked over and embraced Zhao Fang, her eyes also turning red.
For a moment, the room fell silent.
The four of them, with perfect tacit understanding, said nothing more. All their eyes gathered on Liu Shan, quietly waiting for him to wake up.
Ten minutes passed.
Twenty minutes passed.
Half an hour passed.
One hour passed.
Time slipped by little by little, but Liu Shan still lay there quietly, without the slightest sign of waking up.
Lin Hai’s expression became somewhat grim, and the moods of Liu Xinyue and her mother and sister also shifted from initial joy to slowly growing anxiety and worry.
“Lin Hai, my dad—?” Liu Xinyue grabbed Lin Hai’s arm with a worried look.
“Wait for me a moment.” Lin Hai suddenly became very restless. He strode out of the room, took out his phone, and sent a message to the Golden Flower Boy.
Little Confused Immortal: Boy, I’ve given the patient all the pills, but there’s no sign of him waking up. What’s going on?
The Golden Flower Boy’s reply came back quickly.
Golden Flower Boy: How long has it been since the great immortal gave the patient the pills?
Little Confused Immortal: It’s been an hour already.
Golden Flower Boy: The great immortal is too impatient. Even if he can wake up, it takes 12 hours.
12 hours? Lin Hai let out a long breath. Damn, that scared me to death.
He’d thought it had failed.
Little Confused Immortal: Okay, got it.
Lin Hai returned to Liu Shan’s room, feeling much more relaxed.
“Auntie, Xinyue, don’t worry anymore. From taking the medicine to waking up takes 12 hours, which means Uncle should wake up around 8 tomorrow morning.”
“Oh my, that scared me. I thought the medicine didn’t work.” Liu Xinqing let out a long sigh of relief and patted her chest.
“We still have to wait until tomorrow?” A hint of disappointment flashed through Zhao Fang’s eyes.
“Mom, you’ve already waited this long. What’s one more night?” Liu Xinqing saw that Liu Shan not waking up was just a matter of time, and her nervous mood couldn’t help but relax. She supported Zhao Fang and comforted her.
“Ah, as long as he can wake up, never mind one night—even if I had to wait another year, that would be fine.” Zhao Fang’s face also broke into a smile.
“Xiao Hai, sit for a while. Auntie will cook for you.”
“No need, Auntie. I’m going home to eat today.” When Lin Hai had left, Song Qin had already told him to.
“Alright, then come back to Auntie’s another day. Auntie will make you something delicious.”
“Auntie, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first. I’ll come over first thing tomorrow morning.” Lin Hai said, standing up to leave.
“I’ll walk you out.” Liu Xinyue quickly followed.
Downstairs, Lin Hai and Liu Xinyue got in the car.
“Lin Hai, will my dad really wake up tomorrow? Will he really be able to watch me compete in the Qingge Competition?” Liu Xinyue still felt a bit uneasy.
“Don’t worry, Xinyue. Don’t you trust me?” Lin Hai smiled and tapped Liu Xinyue’s little nose.
“It’s not that I don’t trust you. I’m just a little worried. My dad has been asleep for so long.” A sudden sadness welled up in Liu Xinyue’s heart, and she slowly leaned against Lin Hai.
“Rest assured, Xinyue. With me here, Uncle will be fine.” Lin Hai gently pulled Liu Xinyue into his arms with tenderness.
“Mm.” Liu Xinyue nodded.
The two held each other quietly, neither speaking, silently enjoying the warmth of this moment.
A long while later.
“Lin Hai, I feel so happy.” A warm smile suddenly appeared on Liu Xinyue’s face.
“Oh? Why?” Lin Hai gently stroked Liu Xinyue’s hair.
“Because I met you! Before I met you, I was just an ordinary girl singing at a bar to pay for my father’s medical bills. Not only was I worried about food and clothing, I couldn’t even guarantee my own safety.” Liu Xinyue recalled the scenes from before in her mind.
“But after I met you, everything changed. Not only did my father get discharged from the hospital, he’ll soon wake up. You also gave me the Moon Palace Immortal Sound, giving me the confidence to win the championship for sure. And in everyday life, you spoil me and love me so much. I feel like a princess.”
“Haha, you’ve always been a princess—my Lin Hai’s princess.” Lin Hai’s large hand caressed Liu Xinyue’s delicate cheek, gazing deeply into her eyes.
“Lin Hai, I really am the happiest person in the world!” Liu Xinyue’s eyes were tender as water, full of happiness and warmth.
“Wrong. The happiest person in the world isn’t you!” Lin Hai shook his head.
“Not me?” Liu Xinyue was stunned.
“At most, you count as the second happiest person in the world. The happiest person is me—because I met you!” As Lin Hai spoke, he gently kissed her.
“Lin Hai.” Liu Xinyue suddenly threw her arms around Lin Hai’s neck and offered up her sweet lips.
Inside the car, a scene of romance and passion.
