Chapter 714: The Drawbacks of Having Space
The car quickly turned around and sped toward the Gu Family residence.
Yan Junmei didn’t go with Xiaofeng and the others to the train station to see off Guaizi and his wife. She was just about to leave to check if there was anything missing for the twins’ anniversary wine when she saw Quan Family’s car rushing over like a gust of wind.
She paused at the doorway, about to greet Chu Qing, when she saw Ayun rush inside like a whirlwind.
“What’s going on, what happened?” Yan Junmei felt something was wrong as she looked at Chu Qing, who was tearfully gazing at Xiaofeng.
A pang of worry clutched at her heart, “Aqing, what’s the matter with you?”
Elder Gu had already come out and instructed Ayun, “Carry her to my courtyard.”
This girl had fallen into an inexplicable deep sleep twice now, something was definitely amiss.
Yet, strangely, her body’s functions were all normal, she was just sleeping. People couldn’t wake her up, and even if he had some skills, he had never seen such a case before.
“Elder Gu, what exactly is wrong with Xiaofeng?” Chu Qing looked at the deeply sleeping Xiaofeng, not understanding what was wrong with her daughter. This was the second time she had fallen into an unexplained deep sleep and couldn’t be woken up no matter how hard they tried.
Elder Gu took Xiaofeng’s pulse and found nothing unusual, “Her condition appears normal, and I’ve never encountered such a situation before. For now, let her sleep for a while. When she wakes up, she might come around on her own.”
“He Ximei and her husband have gone back, and Xiaofeng seemed a bit down. Probably because she couldn’t bear to part with them. On the way back from the train station, she was quiet the whole time. I thought she just didn’t want to talk, but who could have guessed she fell asleep? Elder Gu, do you think it might be a psychological issue, like feeling guilty toward He Ximei and her husband and then this triggered it?” Chu Qing could only think of one possibility.
In Xiaofeng’s heart, Old Guaizi and He Ximei were her real parents and she had a bond with them. Now that Xiaofeng had married into the Imperial Capital and couldn’t see them often, she must feel guilty.
Of course, she understood Xiaofeng’s feelings for Old Guaizi and the others, which is why she never brought up the topic of Xiaofeng changing her surname to Quan after Xiaofeng returned to the Imperial Capital.
Xiaofeng was Old Guaizi’s only daughter, and if she asked Xiaofeng to change her surname as well, it would be incredibly cruel to Brother Guaizi.
She never dared to entertain or voice this thought.
Now that Xiaofeng had returned to her side and acknowledged her and Sifang, she and Sifang were very content.
Elder Gu shook his head, “It shouldn’t be for that reason. Although Xiaofeng is a girl who values affection, it’s not the first time she has left them. She should be able to control her emotions. Anyway, she had a bit of low blood sugar earlier. Prepare some sugar water later, let her drink it when she wakes up.”
After thinking for a moment, he added, “And then, have her drink a bowl of it every day.”
When Gu Yecheng heard that Xiaofeng had fallen into unexplained sleep again, he didn’t bother with what he was doing and drove home at full speed.
By the time he arrived, Xiaofeng had just woken up.
“Wife.” As soon as Gu Yecheng returned, he took her pulse. Her pulse was completely normal, without any issues.
If there were no problems, why had she slept so deeply that no one could wake her? Wasn’t that strange?
Even a child who sleeps deeply would instinctively turn over or rub their eyes after being called a few times, indicating they received the message.
Gu Yecheng then felt Xiaofeng’s forehead, ensuring she was alright, and hugged her close: “Do you feel unwell anywhere? Please don’t scare me.”
“It might be because I drank a little last night,” Xiaofeng said, feeling quite embarrassed. Could she say it was because the spatial spiritual energy was low, and she got trapped inside the space and couldn’t come out?
Sometimes the space was a Golden Finger, and sometimes it was a shackle.
The world’s myriad creatures never receive benefits out of thin air. Everything comes with its pros and cons, and while she enjoyed the conveniences the space provided, she also had to accept its drawbacks.
If the spatial spiritual energy was insufficient, or the space was threatened, she, as the master of the space, had to suffer through the ordeal as well.
“So, you’re saying the alcohol you drank last night is only affecting you now?” If that was the case, her body’s reaction seemed too delayed.
“You, your body is still a bit weak,” Elder Gu waved his hand, “You’d better start drinking that ginseng wine you brewed. Didn’t Acheng buy quite a few century-old ginseng roots? Brew more and drink some before bed.”
Now that she could wake up and everything seemed normal afterward, it seemed that she had indeed simply fallen into a deep sleep, which didn’t pose a serious problem.
“I will be more careful in the future, I’m sorry for making everyone worry,” she said, regretting her decision to enter the space. Once she had entered, she couldn’t find her way out.
