766 Shen Jing Awakens (2/2)
\”What do you want to say?\” Mo Wen was somewhat speechless. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Qin Xiaoyou. What did she want, and why was she speaking so hesitantly?
\”You see, Teacher Shen Jing is sleeping in your room. Tonight, you should sleep in my room.\” Qin Xiaoyou's face instantly turned red. Her voice grew softer as she spoke. Her little hand pinched the chopsticks tightly, just short of snapping them.
\”You'd better focus on practicing. What have you been thinking about?\” Mo Wen coughed dryly. He understood Qin Xiaoyou's intentions. This little girl most likely wanted to give him her most precious thing. However, she was in the growth stage of her practice, and it was not appropriate. Losing her virginity would be detrimental to her practice.
\”I have not been imagining things. You have been imagining things.\” Qin Xiaoyou's face turned even redder. She was close to burying her face in her own chest.
\”Alright, alright. I'm the one imagining things okay?\” Mo Wen was speechless.
\”That being said, the winter holidays are about to start at the university. Are you going home?\” Qin Xiaoyou said while blinking.
\”Going home…\” Mo Wen was slightly stunned. He lowered his gaze and fell silent all of a sudden.
\”What's the matter? Did I say something wrong?\” Qin Xiaoyou asked somewhat nervously when she noticed something was off with Mo Wen.
\”No, it's just that I have not gone home in a long time. I suddenly had a sense of nostalgia.\”
Mo Wen shook his head. In reality, ever since his previous life's memories had resurfaced, he had thought of going home, but a part of him did not dare to. Many times, he had forced himself to not think about going home, focusing all of his attention on practicing diligently.
With another set of memories, he suddenly did not dare to face his own mother. He knew that he had not changed and that he was still Mo Wen, the Mo Wen born in a village in the mountains. He merely had a dream, a dream of his previous life's memories.
He was actually afraid that his mother would notice the changes in him, and that it would make his mother feel as though he was a stranger and cause an unnecessary barrier to form between their relationship as mother and son. It was because of this concern that he had forced himself to not think about going home.
\”Then, go back. The university will be having a month off. Since you have not been home in a long time, your mother will certainly miss you. Let me follow you back, okay?\”
The gaze Qin Xiaoyou gave Mo Wen was hopeful. Of course, she wanted Mo Wen to bring her back to meet his parents.
\”Okay, I'll bring you along when the holidays come.\” Mo Wen nodded his head. He knew that continuing to avoid it was not a solution. Also, he had not returned home for a year. He also wanted to see his mother who was at home.
That night, Qin Xiaoyou practiced in her room. After practicing for so long, she had already developed the habit of not sleeping. Practice was the best form of rest.
Mo Wen sat in his room, looking anxiously at Shen Jing on his bed. He had once again inspected Shen Jing's body in detail. He still could not find any problems. If he could not find the cause, he could not find a solution. Right now, Shen Jing was like a perfectly normal person who had just seemingly fallen into a deep sleep. But this sort of deep sleep was considered a sleep that was isolated from the world. No one could wake her up.
\”What exactly is up with you?\”
Mo Wen knocked his head, very distressed. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He held Shen Jing's fair hand while staring spellbound.
\”There is nothing up with me. I just don't want to see you.\” A faint voice sounded.
\”If you don't want to see me, then why are you talking to me?\” Mo Wen said subconsciously.
\”Then, I will continue my deep sleep. Don't care about me forever…\”
\”Hey, wait! Wait a minute…\”
Mo Wen suddenly realized what was going on and awakened fully. He looked at the pair of eyes that were like black gemstones that were exceptionally bright in the night. He felt ecstatic.
\”I don't want to care about you.\” After saying this, the eyes began to close.
\”Wait… don't be like this.\” Mo Wen was shocked. He immediately reached out to prop open those poignant eyes. He was afraid that they would close again.
\”Let go!\”
\”I won't let go.\”
\”Let go!\”
\”I won't let go.\”
\”I won't fall asleep, okay?\”
\”Haha.\” Only then did Mo Wen retract his hand.
\”Ruffian.\” Shen Jing rolled her eyes at Mo Wen. How could there be such a man?
\”Who asked you to trick me like this?\” Mo Wen softly snorted. From the looks of Shen Jing's current condition, it wasn't that she did not have any perception at all. She most likely noticed he had returned long ago. This form of deep sleep was a deep sleep of choice, though he did not know how Shen Jing pulled it off.
\”Who was tricking you? Did you know that I nearly died?\” Shen Jing's eyes started to turn red.
When her adoptive parents grounded her and forced her to marry that Fan Junsheng, she despaired so much and chose death. However, she had not expected that not only would she survive, but, by a strange turn of events, she discovered that she had the ability to go into a deep sleep that could trick everyone. When she did not want to wake up, no one could wake her up. The reason why she had chosen to continue her deep sleep was as a form of self-preservation. Only when Mo Wen returned did she choose to wake up.
