Chapter 2009: Awakening
During the two years from fifteen to seventeen, her body should have been in slumber, unexpectedly, it was taken away by someone.
"Click"
"Zhizhi, you’re awake?"
With the sound of the door opening, a familiar voice echoed in her ear.
Gu Zhiqi instinctively turned her head towards the voice, and then, she saw the somewhat haggard Su Yunling.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi’s first reaction was to frown.
Seeing her frown, Su Yunling thought she was uncomfortable and immediately took a few big steps towards Gu Zhiqi, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
As Su Yunling spoke, he sat down by the bed and reached out to touch Gu Zhiqi’s forehead.
But before he could touch her forehead, his hand was caught.
Immediately, his collar was also grabbed.
Following that force, Su Yunling leaned forward, being pulled to a very close distance by Gu Zhiqi.
Then, the two of them stared at each other without saying a word.
Gu Zhiqi’s hands climbed around Su Yunling’s neck, looking at the person so close, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction, "Have you not been taking good care of yourself, not eating well, not sleeping well..."
Before Gu Zhiqi could finish her words, she was pulled into an embrace, "You didn’t wake up, I couldn’t eat or sleep."
Su Yunling’s voice was low, with a tinge of hoarseness and lingering fear.
Gu Zhiqi didn’t know what to say, so she moved her hand and lightly patted his back, "It’s okay, I just took a nap."
Su Yunling held Gu Zhiqi tightly, "This nap of yours was really long, you slept for three days and nights."
After hearing this, Gu Zhiqi fell silent.
Has it been that long?
Su Yunling held Gu Zhiqi, sitting on the bed for a long time, until Gu Zhiqi said she was hungry, then he let her go.
"I’ll go prepare some food, you go freshen up first."
As Su Yunling spoke, he got up.
However, just as he stood up, his hand was grabbed.
Su Yunling looked down slightly, gazing at Gu Zhiqi.
"You look so haggard, you need to freshen up." Gu Zhiqi said, getting out of bed and then dragging Su Yunling into the bathroom.

After the meal, Gu Zhiqi pulled Su Yunling aside, speaking with a serious face.
"In the future, if I fall asleep again, don’t worry about it."
"I’ve already told you, my sleep is due to a spiritual power advance."
"If I wake up next time and see you like this again, I’ll be disappointed, understand?"
Su Yunling reached out, pulling her into an embrace, "No disappointment allowed."
Gu Zhiqi: "Then you have to behave."
Su Yunling: "I’ll try my best."
Worrying about this isn’t something he can control.
He can only tidy himself up next time, trying not to let her notice.
Gu Zhiqi: "..."
Not knowing what to say, she simply didn’t say more, then brought up another topic with Su Yunling, "Where’s the paper Mu Yan gave me?"
Su Yunling immediately retrieved it from the storage ring and handed it to Gu Zhiqi.
Su Yunling had read the contents of the paper.
It was an account written by Mu Yan about a murder, as well as some of her thoughts at the time.
After receiving the paper, Gu Zhiqi looked down and quickly glanced through it.
Because of Xu Changqing, Mu Yan was troubled by emotions.
After Xu Changqing’s death, Mu Yan completely severed ties with love.
In recent years, her cultivation had been smooth until Xu Changqing reappeared, disturbing her heart.
She chose to strike Xu Changqing once more, this time, with her own hands.
However, after casting a spell on Xu Changqing, her heart grew even more chaotic.
She discovered that it wasn’t just love, but family and friendship also troubled her heart.
