Kuang Youzhi went silent for a long time. Gong Yu did not interrupt him and left him to himself. It was not until a long time later that he slowly said, "Maybe I can"t go back!"
Gong Yu looked at Kuang Youzhi and asked blandly, "The whole point is whether you want to go back or not. It"s said that people should eventually return home. Do you want to go back now?"
Kuang Youzhi hesitated at that moment; he did not know how to answer the question. He couldn"t really ponder on the question before, and he never wanted to think about it. Until then, when Gong Yu asked him so formally, he had to face the situation.
Gong Yu obviously saw melancholy and some expectations in Kuang Youzhi"s look. He knew that Kuang Youzhi actually missed that place, but he had hesitation because of Baili Ziyi. Kuang Youzhi was not sure whether Baili Zi would like to follow him to that completely strange place, and whether Baili Ziyi would like to leave her homeland.
Gong Yu looked at Kuang Youzhi and suggested. "You don"t have to answer now. You can discuss it with your wife. In fact, she is a lively and curious person. Maybe she would like to go. There are so many novelties there, and it"s much more interesting than here."
As Gong Yu was talking, the door was pushed open. "What do you say is interesting?"
Kuang Youzhi and Gong Yu looked at each other with a smile and turned to look at the person in the center of their conversation. "Speak of the devil! Here she is!"
Baili Ziyi approached curiously and glanced at Kuang Youzhi. "Are you speaking ill of me again?"
Gong Yu defended Kuang Youzhi. "You are mistaken, Master has never spoken ill of you to me."
Baili Ziyi smiled slightly and said, "You d.a.m.n fool, I bet you don"t dare to. But what were you talking about?"
Gong Yu looked at Kuang Youzhi; he thought it would be better he said it himself.
Kuang Youzhi held Baili Ziyi"s arms with both hands, making her sit down on the chair next to them. Then he looked at her with a serious expression, Baili Ziyi was slightly unaccustomed, and she even felt little creeped out. "Hey, you d.a.m.n fool, why do you suddenly act like this? What do you mean? If you have something to say, don"t make it so mysterious, just say it."
Kuang Youzhi was sitting straight; he looked at Baili Ziyi seriously. "Ziyi, do you still remember that I used to say that I came from a distant place?"
Baili Ziyi nodded. "Of course I remember. I asked you about the place you came from and you refused to say anything. At last, we were in a cold war for several days, and you still didn"t tell me."
"Well, I"ll tell you now, you should listen carefully."
"Hey, d.a.m.n fool, you are too serious, I have gooseb.u.mps all over me."
"Ziyi, what I am going to tell you is very serious, it"s not a joke."
"OK."
"I"m not really a person from this world. I came here unexpectedly. I still can"t figure out how I came to this world, but my world is quite different from here. In other words, Xiao Xi and I came from the same world. Gong Yu once disappeared; he actually went to that world to find Xiao Xi. If I want to take you with me to that world now, would you like to go with me?"
Kuang Youzhi stared at Baili Ziyi. He was ready to accept that Baili Ziyi might scold him for being a complete psycho.
"So it"s the interesting place you just said?" Baili Ziyi asked a very unexpected question.
Kuang Youzhi nodded. "You can say that, Gong Yu knows the place and he will tell you."
Kuang Youzhi turned to look at Gong Yu; he was stunned by the sudden inquiry.
Baili Ziyi saw Gong Yu pause and she said, "Look, Gong Yu doesn"t agree with you, which means that it"s only your personal opinion."
Gong Yu said in a hurry, "No. In fact, the world is amazing. It"s totally different from here. There are many things we don"t have here. People"s opinions are also very different. They are more advanced than us. It"s really a interesting place."
Baili Ziyi heard Gong Yu"s words, her eyes glittered. "How interesting?"
Gong Yu hesitated slightly and continued to say, "This is hard to explain. For example, there are more kinds of food in that world. They have a lot of ways to make food in different tastes; Their living places are different from ours too. Some will live in high places, and then there will be an elevator to send them up. Their beds are softer and bigger. People there don"t need to walk or ride horses when they go out. A machine called car is used for transportation and it can run on the ground. A ship is something to sail in the water, an airplane is something to fly in the sky, and so on. In short, their daily life is totally different from ours, including food, clothing, shelter and transportation. And the difference is huge."
"It sounds funny."
"Yes, they are also very good at entertainment, and there are more leisure facilities."
"Then how do we get there?"
Gong Yu paused for a moment. "In fact, I"m not sure if I can take Master and you over. I don"t quite understand how we can travel in between the two places. I just know it"s through a special medium. Once it connects to a special condition, we can go there."
"OK."
Baili Ziyi stopped talking and just looked at Gong Yu and Kuang Youzhi, which made Kuang Youzhi a little anxious. He asked eagerly, "Are you going or not?"
Baili Ziyi tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Maybe I can go and see that world."
Hearing this, Gong Yu slightly frowned and said calmly, "You should know, once you go there, you won"t be able to come back."
Baili Ziyi nodded. "Well, if it"s really fun there, it"s fine I don"t come back. Anyway, I have nothing left here to worry about. I am all alone, I can go anywhere I want."
Kuang Youzhi was slightly surprised. "Then, Ziyi, do you really agree to go there with me?"
Baili Ziyi didn"t answer Kuang Youzhi"s question. Instead she asked, "What would you do if I didn"t go?"
Kuang Youzhi"s eyes dimmed a little. "Of course I would stay here!"
There was a bright smile on Baili Ziyi"s face. "Well, since you can stay here for me, why can"t I go there for you?"
Kuang Youzhi was happy."Ziyi, do you really want to go?"
"Ah, when did you become so talkative? Didn"t Gong Yu just say he"s not sure if he could take us there? Don"t flatter yourself."
Kuang Youzhi gave a simple smile and looked at Gong Yu with some embarra.s.sment.
Gong Yu smiled softly; he hadn"t seen this side of his master. It really was an eye-opener.
While they were talking, there was a slight humming sound from the bed. Gong Yu rushed to the bedside and looked at Murong Yunxi who was on the bed, staring closely as if he would miss a detail.
Murong Yunxi hummed again. Gong Yu nervously grasped Murong Yunxi"s small hand and whispered. "Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, are you awake?"
Murong Yun"s eyelashes trembled slightly two times, then she slowly opened her eyes. She gently raised her beautiful eyebrows, as if she were uncomfortable.
As Mu Rong Yunxi opened her eyes, she seemed to see a faint light. In a blur, she saw an indistinct face shaking in front of her.
Her voice was hoa.r.s.e and she whispered. "Gong Yu..."
No water had moistened her throat for a few days, making her voice almost mute. However, Gong Yu still clearly recognized that she was calling his name.
Gong Yu was happy. "Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, you finally woke up."
Murong Yunxi pulled her lips up slightly, and her dry lips felt a little pain. She couldn"t pull out a smile.
Gong Yu waved his fingers gently in front of Murong Yunxi"s eyes. Murong Yunxi raised her hand and grabbed Gong Yu"s fingers, which delighted Gong Yu even more. It meant that Murong Yunxi could see again. She could grasp his fingers accurately; it was a sufficient proof.
Gong Yu turned to Kuang Youzhi and Baili Ziyi in haste and shouted, "Master, Master"s wife, Xiao Xi can see!"
Kuang Youzhi saw what happened just then; he knew that Murong Yunxi could see. So he asked, "Xiao Xi, do you have any discomfort?"
Murong Yunxi pointed to her head and said hoa.r.s.ely, "I have a headache."
Kuang Youzhi nodded and consoled her. "Well, this is inevitable. Your head just had an operation. There is a big wound, it will hurt a little bit when the anesthetic loses its effect. The medical condition here isn"t as good as in your world, so the pain is inevitable."
When Gong Yu heard this, he felt anxious. "Master, is there any other way to relieve the pain? We can"t let Xiao Xi suffer so much!"
Kuang Youzhi nodded. "Don"t worry, I have a good idea in mind. I"ve prepared some medicines, which have pain-killing effects. Although they don"t work as well as a.n.a.lgesics, they will relieve the pain to some extent."
Gong Yu nodded. Baili Ziyi urged, "You d.a.m.n fool, since there are medicines, you should take them out in advance."
Kuang Youzhi complained with Baili Ziyi, "You really wrong me. The medicines should be kept in a warm temparature. Once they grow cold, they will no longer have any effect. How can you ask me to keep them here?"
"Well, go and get them. Xiao Xi is in so much pain."
Gong Yu turned to check on Xiao Xi. He had just been caught up in two exciting things: Murong Yunxi was awake and she could see; he completely ignored the others.
Murong Yunxi raised her beautiful eyebrows, her forehead was sweating and her face looked pale like paper. She seemed to be miserable.
Gong Yu used his sleeves to gently wipe the sweat on Murong Yunxi"s forehead, but soon the sweat came out again.
It killed Gong Yu to see Xiao Xi like that.
Murong Yunxi seemed to be more and more uncomfortable as time went on. She clenched her lower lip hard, and her face was covered with sweat. She looked terrible. Gong Yu was in a panic and shouted out loud to the door. "Master, Master, come see..."
