87: The long-lost warmth and tranquility, Lin Su's views on each other

On the soft, white hospital bed.

Su Qingge's thoughts ran wild, imagining all sorts of things.

Ever since Lin Xuan left, she had been in this state of talking to herself, using it to alleviate the loneliness in her heart.

However, unlike when she first became a vegetative state, she was no longer self-pitying, no longer desperately wishing for death.

Her once-collapsing state of mind, illuminated by a certain ray of light, gradually recovered to a thriving state.

Especially when she felt her body recovering at a visible speed.

This made Su Qingge overjoyed.

And because there was hope.

She began to look forward to each day, hoping that when she woke up the next day, she would be completely back to normal.

To personally see that violet, whose fragrance she knew but whose name she didn't, and the person who gave her the flowers.

To personally watch that person sing for her, tell her stories, and give her massages for rehabilitation.

Su Qingge had a hunch.

That day, perhaps... was not far off.

But at the same time, she was also particularly conflicted (ー`´ー).

In the past, she hadn't held any expectations for waking up, so she hadn't carefully considered the situation after waking up.

But now that day was truly approaching, and she felt a bit lost.

She didn't know how she should interact with that man after she woke up?!

After all, before she fell into a coma, she and Lin Xuan were essentially strangers with very little interaction.

It was by chance that they had reached this point today.

Their current way of interacting was entirely based on her inability to move or speak.

Once she could truly walk and jump.

Would their relationship still be as harmonious as it was now?

Or would it... change?

[What am I worrying about?]

[If I really wake up and the relationship isn't harmonious, wouldn't that align more with my previous thoughts?]

[In that case, I could harden my heart and cut off this relationship.]

[Lin Xuan is more suited for a virtuous woman who is diligent and manages the household well.]

[And I simply cannot be that kind of docile woman...]

...Just as Su Qingge was feeling melancholic!

She heard the sound of the door opening, accompanied by a steady series of footsteps.

Lin Xuan?!

He's back!!!

Although she only heard his voice and didn't see him.

But after spending a long time lying in bed, she had developed the ability to identify sounds and locations.

She had long since memorized Lin Xuan's footsteps.

So, in just an instant, she recognized Lin Xuan's arrival.

"Qingge, I'm back."

"It's been a while, and I've missed you very much."

Sure enough.

The familiar voice sounded, accompanied by... that familiar warmth in her palm.

"How amazing! Qingge, even though I only left for an afternoon."

"But for some reason, I always feel like I've been gone for several days and am now reunited."

"Holding your hand again, it even feels like a long-lost sensation."

Hearing Lin Xuan's emotion.

Su Qingge, who had the same thoughts, silently responded in her heart.

[Hmm, actually, I feel the same way.]

[But it's all your fault, why did you have to leave for so long?]

[It would have been better if you had come back earlier, but you were gone for hours. ╭(╯^╰)╮ Hmph!]

...Lin Xuan was unaware of Su Qingge's tsundere accusation.

At this moment, his attention was briefly drawn by the system notification sound in his mind.

[Ding! Host and Su Qingge 'palm' touch, reward 1 point / 4 seconds.]

Uh... did it increase by another second?

It was still 1 point / 5 seconds this morning, and it increased after a few hours of leaving... It seems that being together all the time makes girls get used to it and become numb.

Appropriate reunions after a long absence can better stir their emotions.

Looking at the sleeping face of the beautiful girl on the hospital bed, Lin Xuan couldn't help but grin.

Although he knew that the shortening of the point time.

It didn't necessarily mean... that this was a sign of Su Qingge falling in love with him.

But at least he could be sure that she had a good impression.

As for whether he had feelings for Su Qingge?

Honestly.

If it was at the beginning... Su Qingge was just a points-earning machine in his eyes, with a bit of lust thrown in.

But now, after a long time of getting along with the girl.

He also had to admit.

Even if he might not have reached love, he at least had some liking.

After all, facing the beautiful girl in front of him every day, singing, touching, telling stories... he wasn't made of stone, saying he didn't feel any heart-throb ♦ would really be a bit of self-deception.

"But after Su Qingge wakes up, I wonder how she will interact with me?"

"Although I like her a bit. But mutual attraction is the most beautiful, if you want me to be a simp, you might as well go to sleep."

"Fortunately, Su Qingge is conscious. She sees all my efforts!"

"Judging by her reactions these days, at least she doesn't reject me. There's still some hope for future close contact!"

"..."

Lin Xuan thought to himself, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, Su Qingge's character in the original plot wasn't really that likable to readers.

Having suffered psychological trauma, she was too cold and ruthless.

She approached everything with absolute rationality and maximized benefits.

If she wasn't the protagonist's sister.

With that kind of behavior, in another novel, she would be a super female villain in minutes.

If Su Qingge's character remained the same after she woke up... Lin Xuan might have to consider leaving.

Anyway, as long as he avoided the protagonist, with tens of billions in hand... in this world.

He could do whatever he wanted, and lay flat however he wanted?!

At this moment, there was a movement in his palm.

Lin Xuan looked up in surprise, only to see the tender white hand he was holding in his palm, giving him the middle finger.

"..."

[What is Lin Xuan thinking?]

[Why did he suddenly stop talking? Tell me what happened today?]

[I really want to know!]

[Ever since I became a vegetative state, I've been stuck in this manor.]

[I really want to hear someone talk about what's happening outside!]

...To attract Lin Xuan's attention, Su Qingge kept moving her... middle finger.

"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you!"

"I told you last time this gesture is not graceful, and you're still doing it."

As Lin Xuan spoke with a smile, he gently pinched the girl's smooth cheek... [Uh...]

[(.・＿・.)ﾉ I'm sorry~~ My apologies, I wasn't paying attention for a moment.]

[No, you can say what you want! |_・) Why are you pinching my face?]

[No one has ever pinched my face since I was little... except for Ke Xin!]

[And it's a boy?! (•́へ•́╬)]

[Can a girl's face be touched casually?!]

[What if it gets dirty? You have to take responsibility for me, hmph!]

...Because he couldn't hear Su Qingge's thoughts.

After Lin Xuan retracted his hand, he began to tell Su Qingge about what had happened today.

And suppressing his laughter, he specifically mentioned Su Fan, who was impersonating a Martial Arts Grandmaster...
