ATBLM [QT] Chapter 79.2

The morning servant’s walking sound came from downstairs. Jiang Rui estimated the time when Huo Changyao would wake up, covered her mouth, and yawned. Instead of lying down, she fell asleep directly beside the bed.

It was getting brighter and brighter outside the window. The first ray of sunlight passed through the gap in the curtains that were not closed tightly and fell on Huo Changyao’s face, only to see that pair of closed eyes frown and slowly open.

After being comatose for nearly a month, Huo Changyao’s eyes were slightly confused, but he soon became sober.

He calmly recalled what had happened before. While imagining all kinds of possibilities in his mind, he sat up with his body and pulled the bell on the bedside. After completing these two actions, the remaining strength in his body was exhausted.

Jiang Rui’s breathing was inaudible and the light in the room was not clear. After he raised his eyes, Huo Changyao discovered her existence.

Because he could not see clearly, he originally thought it was the servant who was looking after him, but he recognized it the second time he saw it. It was the Seventh Sister, who usually lowered her head and took a detour when she saw him.

Before he could figure out why she was here, the servant held the door panel and pushed the door open. When he saw Huo Changyao sitting at the bedside, his first reaction was not surprising, but he was stunned for a moment, and then shocked. He yelled and ran downstairs.

“Marshal is awake! Marshal is awake!”

Seeing the servant’s behavior, Huo Changyao knew that he should have been unconscious for a long time.

The servant’s cry awakened Jiang Rui. She opened her eyes in a daze, saw Huo Changyao, and was overjoyed immediately, “Brother, you are awake!”

Huo Changyao nodded slightly, “Thank you for your hard work.”

After the joy, Jiang Rui seemed to recall the current situation. The joy suddenly clouded with a layer of haze. She lowered her head to cover it up and hurried out, “I’ll go and talk to Mother.”

The morning breeze blew open the curtains and more light shone into the house. Huo Changyao saw that many pieces of furniture in the house were pasted with happy characters. Thinking of the meaning behind this may represent, he wrinkled his brows heavily.

Jiang Rui only walked halfway through when she met Old Madam Huo, whose surname was Wang, and her group who hurried over.

Wang Shi tightly grabbed her hand, “Xiao Qi, is Changyao really awake?”

“It’s real, Mother, Brother woke up.”

Two tears rolled out of Wang’s cloudy eyes at once. Since Huo Changyao’s accident, she hasn’t cried once, but now she learned that he woke up, she can’t hold it anymore.

“God has eyes, God has eyes!” She pushed away the people who were supporting her and stumbled forward on crutches, and everyone had to follow closely behind.

Even though Huo Changyao had a lot of doubts in his heart, seeing his elderly mother crying at the side of his bed, he did not care to ask for a while.

The Huo Mansion was noisy and busy for a while, weeping and crying, persuading and asking for doctors. When all the dust settled, most of the morning passed.

Because he hadn’t eaten for a long time, Huo Changyao could only drink some thin porridge at the moment. Wang Shi sat in front of the bed and looked at him with a look of relief and affection.

“Mother, why is the room dressed like this?” Huo Changyao put down the porridge bowl.

Wang Shi’s face was filled with joy. She talked about what happened during this period and finally said: “The Taoist Master’s method is really useful. You only got married last night and you woke up today!”

Huo Changyao frowned tighter the more he listened, “This is really ridiculous–”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Wang Shi interrupted him nervously, “The Gods are watching, beware that they are upset after hearing it.”

Wang Shi had already eaten vegetarian food and chanted Buddha. She became more religious after this incident.

“But, I only regard Seventh Sister as my younger sister and she also treats me as a big brother. How will I deal with her in the future? Mother, it’s not too late to give up now.” Huo Changyao frowned and said squarely.

However, Wang Shi was suddenly emotional and her skinny palms firmly grasped him, “Can’t stop, the Taoist Master said, your horoscopes are too hard, only Xiao Qi’s can be combined with yours. This time you can wake up thanks to her. If you have an accident after separation, what will you do with your mother? Changyao, Mother only has you left. If you have trouble again, why not let God accept me as well so that both of us still have a companion on Huangquan Road!”

She wiped her tears again.

Huo Changyao knew that she had always been stronger, but today she cried a few times. Knowing that his coma had frightened her, he could not bear to say anymore, so he had to press down the matter temporarily.

Jiang Rui stood outside the room. Hearing this, she returned to her original room.

With Old Madam Huo here, it was almost impossible for Huo Changyao to want to separate from her, which saved her a lot of things.

She is now slowly realizing that putting too much energy into these soul fragments is not a good thing for herself. It will make her feel inexplicably exhausted and depressed when she leaves that world.

Acting as a lover of a lifetime, even though she knows it is only acting, all the experiences are real and all the companionship is also real.

She thought she would not be affected, but she overestimated herself.

This time, she decided to no longer deliberately become his lover. Anyway, she and Huo Changyao have become husband and wife. Even if they have no feelings, as long as they are still under the same roof, she can still complete the task.

Jiang Rui: I don’t want to tease anymore, let’s stock it.

Marshal: Differential treatment… [grievance]
