Chapter 1901 - 1896: As Thin as Cicada Wings
Upon hearing Xiaobei’s solemn words, they were reminded that someone is still in a coma...
Exchanging a glance, they nodded without hesitation...
"Alright, let’s go!"
Seeing them nod, Xiaobei extinguished the fire completely and slowly stood up.
"Okay!"
After cheerfully responding, they quickly stood behind Xiaobei.
Seeing them follow his lead so completely, Xiaobei knew they had fully accepted him.
...
"Is this Hell?"
After an unknown amount of time, Yao Ling, who was in a coma, felt a faint strength returning to her body...
Previously, she had been drifting in endless darkness.
Now, she regained consciousness...
Weary, she opened her eyes and found this was not the Abyss Hell she thought it was, but a very familiar room.
"What on earth is going on? Could it be that I didn’t die?"
Talking to herself, still somewhat tired, she quickly looked around.
At that moment, she heard a gentle teasing voice.
"Yao Ling sister, you’ve finally woken up! Looks like you’re really fine now!"
Feeling the lightheartedness in her words, she quickly looked over and saw Cao Lingbing smiling joyously at her.
After carefully looking a few times to make sure she wasn’t mistaken, she quickly asked, "Sister, what’s going on? Wasn’t I supposed to be dead before?"
Upon hearing such an urgent inquiry, Cao Lingbing waved her hand and said irritably, "Blah, blah, blah, saying such unlucky things! How could you possibly be dead! Not only will you not die, but you’ll live to a ripe old age like me."
"Let’s not talk about that now, tell me what happened before? How did I end up here? Also, where are my clothes?"
Previously, Yao Ling was muddled, but now, she was gradually recovering.
It was because she was recovering that she was utterly bewildered...
Knowing her mind was full of questions, Cao Lingbing didn’t keep her in suspense any longer and quickly recounted the events.
After hearing everything, she realized so much had happened.
Seeing her gradually understand everything, Cao Lingbing winked at her and lightly said, "Are you a bit disappointed that I’m the first person you see when waking up?"
"What! What are you talking about?"
After glancing at her, Cao Lingbing laughed playfully and teased, "I mean, would you rather have your Brother Xiaobei sitting here?"
"No... not at all!"
Yao Ling’s face turned a rosy red as she quickly defended herself...
Actually, she would have preferred her beloved Brother Xiaobei to be sitting here...
Because the deepest impression in her heart was left by the omnipotent Xiaobei.
She would never forget how he appeared before her when she was utterly helpless before.
Nor would she forget how he directly saved her.
...
Knowing that Yao Ling wasn’t telling the truth, Cao Lingbing chuckled, "Alright, no need to hide. We know each other too well! Are you thirsty now? Want some water?"
Cao Lingbing remembered Xiaobei had mentioned she should drink more water if she woke up...
"Yes! Thank you, sister!"
"No need for politeness with me; we’re not blood-related, but we’re closer than family!"
While speaking quickly, Cao Lingbing stood up to pour her a glass of water.
"Indeed! We really are like family."
Thinking about how Cao Lingbing was the best person to her in this world, Yao Ling stopped hesitating.
Soon, she took the water Cao Lingbing handed her.
Smiling, she drank it all without hesitation...
"Feels so refreshing!"
After drinking it down, she praised quickly.
"Earlier, Brother Xiaobei said you needed more sugar after waking up, so I added a bit to the water. How’s the taste?"
"Ah, so it was you who added sugar. I felt a bit of sweetness before but thought it was just my imagination."
"Let’s not dwell on that. Tell me, have you recovered physically now?"
Feeling Cao Lingbing’s concern, she carefully assessed her condition, then smiled lightly, "Not fully recovered yet, but definitely better than before."
"I see."
Cao Lingbing nodded...
She wasn’t particularly disappointed at this moment.
Because she knew recovery takes time...
Before, her condition was very serious, so it needed more time.
"Yes, I..."
Yao Ling still wanted to say something, but suddenly heard footsteps...
She knew someone was coming...
She heard it, and Cao Lingbing did too.
So at this moment, she heard Cao Lingbing excitedly say, "It should be Brother Xiaobei coming back! I wonder if he’ll dare to come in this time."
"Dare to come in? What does that mean?"
"It’s like this!"
Smiling softly, Cao Lingbing explained when Xiaobei came earlier.
Upon hearing that Xiaobei only dared to inquire from outside, she smiled faintly.
Thinking about herself, surely he’d hesitate to come in, she quickly said, "Sister, go find me some clothes to throw on, I’ll come out first."
"Alright! Wait here, I’ll get them for you."
As she spoke, she stood up, and soon returned with a blanket.
"Yao Ling sister, couldn’t find suitable clothes, you’ll have to use this blanket for now."
Glancing at the blanket Cao Lingbing brought, Yao Ling was slightly annoyed, "Are you kidding me? This blanket is way too thin!"
Yao Ling really felt she was teasing her since it’s practically sheer!
Wearing it practically has no effect!
"There are no other clothes right now. There was a thicker blanket before, but I left it out to air."
"This one will have to do!"
After hesitating, she finally decided to put it on...
"That’s the spirit! Brother Xiaobei is no stranger, right!"
"Hmph!"
With a slight snort, her face flushed as she quickly stood up.
The sudden movement made her seem like a lotus emerging from water...
Though she’d seen her figure more than once before, Cao Lingbing was still amazed at this moment.
"That’s truly waves crashing!"
Praising softly, she couldn’t help but glance down at her own...
She found they were lacking by quite a bit...
"Let Brother Xiaobei prescribe something for you; it’ll cause some changes!"
Knowing what she was thinking, Yao Ling chuckled as she quickly draped the sheer blanket over herself...
"Don’t think I won’t!"
Cao Lingbing teased, slightly embarrassed...
Then, they heard an inquiry reach their ears.
"How’s it going? Has Yao Ling sister woken up now?"
