Chapter 2851: Chapter 2852: A Beautiful Misunderstanding
Bai Yihong and Lin Ping’er didn’t think much of it. Since the kids were all grown up, they didn’t need to see them every day, so they followed Bai Yihong’s arrangement and went out.
In the space, Bai Ruozhu heard her older brother talking to Jiang Yichun outside and breathed a huge sigh of relief. She was really afraid her mother would be too shocked to handle it.
But if things keep going like this, would she really end up dead?
Everyone was worried about her body, and Bai Ruozhu herself was extremely anxious. This was the first time she felt so afraid and uneasy since she arrived here.
As night fell, Jiang Yichun let everyone go back to rest, but he remained in the room, staring blankly at Bai Ruozhu.
"Son-in-law, the Cold Jade Bed is too cold and bad for your health. You can’t stay here all the time. How about you go rest for a bit? I’ll keep watch for the first half of the night," Jianqi’s voice called from outside the door.
"No need, I can’t sleep." It wasn’t that he refused to sleep, but that he couldn’t even if he wanted to.
Jianqi felt a bit upset but continued, "It would still be good to lie down for a bit, just to rest your eyes."
"No, when I get tired, I’ll call you to relieve me." Jiang Yichun stubbornly replied.
Jianqi dared not say more and retreated outside.
Bai Ruozhu felt even more distressed. Achun’s cheeks had sunken, and his eyes were bloodshot.
She walked forward step by step, reaching out to touch Jiang Yichun’s face on the "big screen," but couldn’t touch anything.
Jiang Yichun took out two Night Pearls for illumination, making the room brighter, allowing him to clearly see her, as if afraid that once she disappeared, he wouldn’t see her again.
Bai Ruozhu’s nose tingled, and she called out, "Achun! Achun!"
Suddenly, Jiang Yichun clutched his chest with a frown, seemingly in pain. He was too exhausted.
Recently, he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep since the day she had her accident and he was knocked unconscious.
Bai Ruozhu grew more anxious. If he continued like this, his body would collapse!
She tried desperately to rush out, each time seemingly hitting a barrier. Just when she was about to give up, the invisible barrier suddenly seemed to have a subtle crack, and in the next moment, she floated out.
"Achun!" She rushed up to him, reaching out to hug him, but her hands passed right through, leaving her grasping at air.
She couldn’t help but cry, "Achun, don’t do this. I’m still alive, but do you want to collapse yourself?"
Jiang Yichun’s frown gradually eased, seemingly feeling better.
Suddenly, his gaze landed on the spot where Bai Ruozhu was, as if he saw something.
"Ruozhu, are you there?" He reached his hand forward, but there was nothing to touch.
Bai Ruozhu also reached out to touch his hand, but neither could feel each other.
Finally, his hand suspended in the air, Bai Ruozhu cautiously reached out, almost overlapping with his palm, as if sensing each other’s warmth.
"Achun, I’m okay. I will definitely be fine, but I don’t want to recover only to find you have fallen ill. I’m so heartbroken." Bai Ruozhu said, then started crying again.
The tears were invisible, leaving no trace on the ground.
Jiang Yichun seemed to hear her words, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Jianqi, keep watch. I’m going to rest for four hours."
Just four hours! Bai Ruozhu felt somewhat angry. If he couldn’t hear her, she might have scolded him properly.
But at least he finally agreed to rest, which was some good news.
Once Jiang Yichun left, Bai Ruozhu walked step by step toward her body, thinking maybe if she could break free of the space’s constraints, she could return to her body.
She lay down in her body, but it was just lying there without returning inside; she remained in a soul state.
Could it be that due to the activation of the Transfer Technique, Zhu Ning’s death must somehow impact her?
She tried repeatedly but could never succeed.
Slowly, she felt weaker, alarming her, prompting her to hurry back into the space.
Upon entering, she felt much better. This was probably the rule of the universe restricting her current state, and the space was actually protecting her.
"Xiaohui, I’ll teach you to write. You then teach Xiaohei. You must learn seriously." Bai Ruozhu thought of a way. Although it was somewhat troublesome, it was her only option.
She carefully demonstrated writing to Xiaohui, and Xiaohui followed with its paw, scratching on the ground. After learning for almost half an hour, it finally learned to write two words: rest.
Xiaohui then taught Xiaohei, and Bai Ruozhu watched, feeling a headache as Xiaohei’s teaching resulted in a scribbled mess, like a ghost-drawn talisman.
She had no choice but to teach it stroke by stroke again, and it taught Xiaohei. Luckily Xiaohei was quick-witted and soon learned.
"Xiaohei, go stand guard. When Achun comes, write it down for him to see," Bai Ruozhu instructed.
Xiaohei nodded, "Don’t worry, Master, leave it to me."
This time, Bai Ruozhu squeezed out of the space herself, allowing Xiaohei to go out. However, she couldn’t stay outside for long and soon returned to the space.
Sure enough, after four hours, Jiang Yichun returned, but his clothes had no noticeable creases, and his eyes were still bloodshot, clearly indicating he hadn’t slept.
Bai Ruozhu felt truly distressed. Could he not let her worry a bit less?
"Xiaohei? You came out?" Jiang Yichun asked excitedly, rushing over. He suddenly recalled Little Dengdeng saying that mother was inside Xiaohei, so he hugged Xiaohei tightly, "Ruozhu, Ruozhu, is it you? I miss you. Please come back."
In the space, Bai Ruozhu’s mouth twitched—what an awkward misunderstanding.
Xiaohei shook its neck to shake him off and used its paw to scratch on the ground, shakily writing two words: rest.
"Rest? You want me to rest?" Jiang Yichun asked excitedly.
Xiaohei nodded, ’The master wants you to rest.’
"Okay, I’ll definitely rest well, but Ruozhu, will you stay with me?" Jiang Yichun looked at Xiaohei with unusually gentle eyes, and even a hint of a coquettish tone in his words.
Xiaohei was so frightened, its legs went soft, and inside the space, Bai Ruozhu was speechless. Why were this father and son duo so stubborn?
However, Xiaohei understood its master’s intention and stayed with Jiang Yichun, accompanying him to the next room to rest. But being hugged by Jiang Yichun caused Xiaohei to tense up, not daring to move an inch, feeling overwhelmed by the cold demeanor of its owner’s husband.
Thanks to those two words, Jiang Yichun’s mood improved a bit, and he finally managed to fall asleep, sleeping until dawn, and looking noticeably better.
As soon as he got up, he told everyone that Xiaohei had written something, which led everyone to believe that Ruozhu was inside Xiaohei, or rather that Xiaohei was Ruozhu now.
Bai Ruozhu decisively decided to teach Xiaohei more words so they could be clearer.
The call for help was sent out through the Commerce Association’s quickest channel, and unexpectedly, the first person to arrive was Jing Shuang.
