Husband, Spend Some Gold Coins

Xie Qi resorted to the long-lost technique of forcibly closing Qin Yizhi’s eyes. His heart raced within that thin chest, nearly leaping into his throat.

He felt the subtle itch of Qin Yizhi’s eyelashes brushing against his palms. Undoubtedly, he was genuinely frightened.

Never did he anticipate that Qin Yizhi would open his eyes at this moment.

Qin Yizhi was awake???

Confusion and uneasiness surged in his heart. If the man was awake, why wasn’t he speaking?

As the question arose, the answer presented itself naturally – after lying down for half a year, even if he woke up, his vocal cords wouldn’t function so swiftly. It was normal for him not to speak, just as eyes accustomed to darkness couldn’t adjust to light immediately without risking blindness. Similarly, reviving an organ unused for an extended period was undoubtedly a gradual process.

Why did he wake up…

Amidst his panic, Xie Qi felt a cascade of regrets. The man woke up before half a month had passed?

Indeed, money was hard to earn, and challenges were tough to confront.

Xie Qi swallowed, sensing a premonition that Qin Yizhi might awaken soon, but he didn’t expect it to happen so fast.

He didn’t dare retract his hand, his mind spinning rapidly, attempting to say something to lighten the atmosphere.

After pondering for a while, he concluded that words might be futile at this point. There was no need to appease Qin Yizhi because he didn’t understand it yet.

Moreover, when a vegetative person awakened, their brain didn’t function swiftly, making it challenging to comprehend what was being said.

Thinking this way, Xie Qi felt helpless and frustrated.

He also considered that if Qin Yizhi woke up early, he might have to repay the 200,000 he borrowed from Yao Wenzhu, but he had already spent 200,000… It was challenging, too challenging!

.

Xie Qi pursed his lips, a hint of worry in his brows. Slowly retracting his hand, his eyes remained fixed on Qin Yizhi’s face. Despite forcibly closing his eyes, Qin Yizhi made no attempt to open them again. His expression remained indifferent and calm, disregarding Xie Qi’s concerns or words.

Xie Qi’s heart still pounded, and his voice turned slightly hoarse from the anxious emotions. “…Are you awake? Husband?”

He deliberately referred to Qin Yizhi as his husband, attempting to evoke a reaction and expedite confirmation of whether he was truly awake or not. Xie Qi had been gradually gathering information about vegetative states at home. He knew that individuals in such states could flip over, touch items beside the bed with closed eyes, eat, and even spit out seeds after consuming a fruit.

Therefore… it was possible that Qin Yizhi opening his eyes was also a normal activity in a vegetative state.

Xie Qi was full of this expectation and stared at Qin Yizhi, but Qin Yizhi did not open his eyes again and just responded to his questions in silence.

Xie Qi hesitated for a moment, then boldly picked up Qin Yizhi’s eyelids, turned on the flashlight with his mobile phone, and examined Qin Yizhi’s eyes—the bottomless black pupils were still slow as usual. No signs of awakening.

Xie Qi breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed as he expected. Great, he didn’t wake up.

Once again, Qin Yizhi was his good husband only when he was lying motionless in bed. Although it was a bit cruel, it was also a fact.

To be honest, he didn’t dare to think about what Qin Yizhi’s attitude would be towards him when he was awake.

It was so nice not to wake up.

.

Xie Qi stepped away and tucked him in. He turned his eyes slightly but saw Qin Yizhi’s eyelids trembling again. The man opened an eye slit with great difficulty, and the eye slit slowly expanded, revealing half of his dark eyes. Due to two extra pillows under his neck, his head was elevated, and he looked at Xie Qi with a condescending and indifferent attitude.

Xie Qi: “…”

No, this was too… scary.

Calmly, he reached out again, closed Qin Yizhi’s eyes, and coaxed softly: “Honey, be good, don’t open your eyes. It’s not good for your health. I’ll close them for you this time, but you can’t open it next time.”

His voice was pleasant and easily recognizable. Though he didn’t talk much, when he did, it exuded a joyful and refreshing aura.

Now he lowered his voice to soothe, and it became even clearer, akin to a meandering stream in the forest, possessing a calming power.

After saying this, Qin Yizhi didn’t open his eyes again.

Xie Qi had been waiting attentively, and after confirming Qin Yizhi didn’t open his eyes again, he completely relaxed.

In reality, it didn’t matter to him if a vegetative person opened their eyes. If it were anyone else, he wouldn’t react so strongly, but Qin Yizhi… His eyes, whether they were conscious or not, when he looked at Xie Qi with those dark eyes, it was genuinely unsettling.

Qin Yizhi opening his eyes felt like a scene from a horror movie!

For anyone else, it wouldn’t be such a big deal. Although Qin Yizhi appeared thin, his well-defined bones and handsome face were enough for Xie Qi to gauge his character. After all, appearance was often shaped by accumulated expressions over time. Frequent smiles could make a face felt friendlier, but Qin Yizhi’s face seemed accustomed to being stern, cold, and indifferent.

When such a person opened his eyes, even if they were empty of feeling, it would induce a sense of anxiety and unease in Xie Qi, as if he was being scrutinized.

No matter how stable Xie Qi’s mood was, being only 18 years old and still a high school student, how could he remain calm under such scrutiny?

Moreover, he felt guilty and couldn’t meet Qin Yizhi’s gaze.

In the future, he would insist to shut down his phone immediately when Qin Yizhi woke up!
