Chapter 1411: A Blow, Waking Up Doesn’t Seem to Be a Good Thing
"Yes, I'm Xuanxuan." Xuanxuan immediately nodded excitedly.
Zhuang Shiyuan glanced at her. He didn't call her, but was thinking about whether he had heard this name while he was asleep.
Actually, I don’t remember much, just the distant singing and the warmth of his arms every day.
"Are you singing?" Zhuang Shiyuan asked again. She did not answer directly, but her gleaming words told him that she admitted it.
"...It's me." Xuanxuan said bravely, looking straight at Zhuang Shiyuan, "Don't you remember Dasha?"
"Big fool?"
"Mu, Ning." Xuanxuan said softly.
"Where is she?" Zhuang Shiyuan's eyes gradually became warm.
Mu Ning, Mu Xiaokouer, little bastard, those memories that were so long ago that he almost forgot them, came back bit by bit. Where is that little girl with charming eyes and a charming face?
"She is a good singer." Zhuang Shiyuan murmured, probably remembering the first time he looked at her in the eye in high school.
She was a student representative, standing on the stage to give a speech, and ended up singing a song. Regardless of the students' roar of laughter, she continued to sing the song as usual. The impression left on her was so deep.
"...It's me who's singing, young master." Xuanxuan spoke softly, tears welling up in her eyes. She almost looked like she was about to cry and looked very aggrieved.
Just give it a try. If she gets caught, she can just treat it as a joke. Mu Dasha won't mind anyway. Yes, she was just joking, not trying to replace anyone.
Zhuang Shiyuan looked at Xuanxuan, "Where is Mu Ning?"
"Mu Ning...is not in the capital." Xuan Xuan answered softly, pausing before continuing, "She's in Kyoto, as is your mother. They've all gone to Kyoto. Your sister, the eldest daughter of the Zhuang family, is getting married in Kyoto, and the second young master is also going."
"Second Young Master, when did Shijue come back?" Zhuang Shiyuan spoke immediately.
"It's been a while. It seems that the second young master has retired from the army and is helping Mr. Zhuang in the company..." Xuanxuan stopped talking. She shouldn't say these things. No one told her these. If she said anything more, she would be misunderstood.
"Give me a hand." Zhuang Shiyuan whispered.
"Yes!" Xuanxuan stood up and helped Zhuang Shiyuan slowly get down to the ground.
Zhuang Shiyuan slowly moved one leg toward the edge of the bed. Not only was he unable to exert any strength, but he also felt a bit unable to execute the commands his brain gave him. His legs were stuck in a stiff position. Zhuang Shiyuan reached out and moved his legs. What was wrong with his legs?
Xuanxuan looked at Zhuang Shiyuan carefully. Could he not get out of bed? Or walk? Could it be that his legs were broken?
"I'll help you."
Between retreating and moving forward, Xuanxuan chose the latter. Even if he was a cripple, he was still the eldest son of the Zhuang family. If she was lucky enough to marry into the Zhuang family, she would be the eldest daughter of the Zhuang family. Would she still have to worry about food and clothing?
Xuanxuan held Zhuang Shiyuan's legs and moved to the edge of the bed. She looked up and said, "Master, try using one foot first to see if you can stand up."
As Xuanxuan spoke, she stood beside Zhuang Shiyuan, resting her arm on his shoulder to lend him support. Xuanxuan was a personal caregiver, not a hospital nurse, but a private institution nurse. They also had to pass exams and obtain certifications, and their primary responsibility was to care for people. She'd been a bit lazy over the years here, but she still knew how to care for patients.
Zhuang Shiyuan gently placed one foot on the ground, and then stepped on the other foot. Xuanxuan hurriedly shouted, "Slow down, slow down, take your time. Master, you've been lying down for four years. It's a bit difficult to regain the ability to walk right away..."
"Four years?"
Zhuang Shiyuan's tone was filled with surprise and doubt. The next moment, his body tilted and he fell directly to the ground. Xuanxuan also rolled to the ground in panic at the same time.
"Ah," Xuanxuan quickly looked at Zhuang Shiyuan, "Did you fall anywhere? Are you hurt?"
"You care about me?" Zhuang Shiyuan looked at her questioningly. Xuanxuan paused her busy hands. "Of course I care about you. I'm your family's hired special caregiver. I've taken care of you for almost four years, from morning till night, every day I'm by your side. Your health is more important to me than my own. Now that you've finally woken up, of course I have to be extra careful!"
Zhuang Shiyuan remained silent, his gaze fixed on his emaciated limbs, eyes filled with astonishment. He slowly placed his hands before his eyes. These were… his hands? He was holding up his trouser legs, exposing his legs. His eyes stung. How could this be? This was…
These are not the hands and feet of a young person, but clearly the body of an old man over 80 years old. He is skinny and bony, without a trace of flesh and blood, only bones.
Zhuang Shiyuan subconsciously touched his face, and as expected, his head and face were skin and bones.
"roll--"
Zhuang Shiyuan suddenly roared in anger, and his hoarse voice roared out. His throat had not yet adapted to the sound of speaking, and the roar became unpleasant and terrifying.
"Master, please don't be like this. You've been asleep for too long, that's why you've become so thin. But now you're awake, and with some exercise, you'll recover. You're still so young, and with proper care, this won't be a problem. You might not be able to accept it at first, but you'll get used to it over time..."
Zhuang Shiyuan pulled Xuanxuan's clothes and shouted angrily, "Get out! Get out!"
"Master, Master... you are still so handsome in my eyes, you..."
"roll!"
Xuanxuan held back her tears and slowly stood up. "I'm leaving right away. I'll help you up first and then leave. Please don't be like this. You just woke up, don't get too excited..."
Xuanxuan was crying with tears and snot, and Zhuang Shiyuan struggled to get up and fell on the bed.
"Get out! You are not allowed to step into this room again without my permission!" Zhuang Shiyuan said coldly.
Xuanxuan stood there for a while, then went out. Turning around, she saw her aunt standing at the door, stunned. Xuanxuan looked at her coldly, walked around her and went downstairs.
Auntie couldn't believe it. Someone who had been asleep for four years actually woke up?!
Wasn't she seeing things right? She was awake, really awake!
"Master, I'm Aunt Liu. Do you still remember me? I'm an elder in the Zhuang family..."
"roll!"
Unexpectedly, she received the same treatment. The aunt was frightened by the rough and unpleasant roar and stopped walking instinctively.
"Yes, I'll go prepare food for the eldest young master. The third master and the third mistress will be very happy to know that you're awake." Auntie forced a smile and quickly walked downstairs.
She had to call the Third Master and the Third Madam as soon as possible and couldn't let that little bitch get there first.
When the aunt hurried downstairs, she heard Xuanxuan crying and excitedly talking on the phone. When she heard her calling "Third Master", her face instantly turned ugly. That little whore had really gotten there first.
Upstairs, Zhuang Shiyuan used all his strength to sit up. Looking at the spacious and clean house, he felt very unfamiliar. Everything, even his own identity, seemed strange.
"Zhuang Shiyuan, I am Zhuang Shiyuan..." Zhuang Shiyuan looked at his skinny hands again. Four years, it had actually been four years!
