Chapter 381 - 382: Did She Wake Up?
He was her husband, he had to hold up the sky even if it was falling!
With that thought in mind, Di Mingjue nodded and hoarsely said, "I understand. Have someone bring in fresh flowers and tidy the room. Don’t wake the young lady."
"Yes." Uncle Zhang wiped his tears and nodded, he couldn’t help but remind him, "Young Master, please eat something first."
"Hmm." Di Mingjue stood up and instructed, "Just put it on the table."
Uncle Zhang had the servants bring over the meals.
Di Mingjue walked over to Gu Qibao and sat down slowly. He held her small hand and tried to smile through his rigid lips, "Silly girl, if you don’t wake up soon, there won’t be any food left."
Gu Qibao did not respond.
Di Mingjue held her hand, kissed it, and then said, "Then, I’ll eat first."
He went to the table, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating seriously. His movements were mechanical, the food tasted like wax.
But he still forced himself to eat seriously. Gu Qibao was just too tired, she was only asleep, really, it’s fine.
He can’t breakdown, what would happen to his treasure if he did?
After he finished eating, Uncle Zhang cleared away the meals and brought in fresh flowers as instructed.
Di Mingjue climbed onto the bed and quietly held Gu Qibao.
He held her all afternoon until darkness gradually fell. Di Mingjue remained quiet, holding her hand tightly with his fingers interlocked.
He was not a man of many words, and now he was even more silent.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he gently laid Gu Qibao down on the bed, got off the bed, went into the study, took out pen and paper, and then returned to sit beside Gu Qibao.
He raised his hand, picked up the pen, and started to draw a few lines on the paper, then a cute little face.
He drew so carefully, the soft light hit his face, illuminating his handsome and extraordinarily charming features.
As he drew, he glanced at Gu Qibao from time to time. Suddenly, the tip of his pen stopped abruptly. His deep eyes filled with disbelief and joy as he stared fixedly at the bed.
He wasn’t dreaming, was he?
Had Gu Qibao woken up!?
"Gu Xiaoqi?" Di Mingjue asked hesitantly, the pen in his hand trembling slightly.
He wanted to rush over, but he couldn’t. He was just too uncertain!
Had she really woken up?
His heart was pounding like a drum, he just couldn’t steady it!
Pounding, pounding, pounding!
He found that since he had been with Gu Qibao, he often felt like he was on a roller coaster. This girl scared him too much.
He couldn’t move now, scared it was just a hallucination, a hallucination caused by his desperate hope for Gu Qibao to wake up.
God only knew, how tormented he was!
Gu Qibao opened her eyes in a daze, rubbed her eyes, then turned to look at Di Mingjue. For a second or two, she didn’t react, she asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"
Di Mingjue was like struck by lightning, so frightened that he dropped the pen and paper in his hands.
Shit, she really shouldn’t mess around with him like that!
"You don’t recognize me anymore?" His voice turned extremely husky, his body froze, unable to move.
Gu Qibao blinked and her eyes rolled around a bit.
Di Mingjue watched her, his eyes didn’t dare to blink. He must be dreaming, he must be!
Gu Qibao was not awake, and she certainly wouldn’t forget who he was. It must be him hallucinating, he must be!
