Chapter 302.2: No Matter How Beautiful It Is, a Jug Is Still a Jug (1/2)
Right as the sky was turning dark, Jun Xin returned.
“Bai gongzi, sorry to keep you waiting!” He rushed in energetically. His voice was a little hoarse, probably due to practicing mimicry.
Bai Feiyun was currently holding a bowl of porridge that a servant had brought. He had tried for a while, but couldn’t get Tang Doudou to open her mouth. When he saw that Jun Xin had returned, he loosened a breath in relief. “Young Master Jun.”
Jun Xin noticed the untouched bowl of porridge Bai Feiyun was holding and asked, “This is…”
Bai Feiyun shook his head. “I don’t know why, but Alliance Head refuses to eat.”
“Let me try.” Jun Xin took the bowl from his hand and smiled towards Tang Doudou, who was currently propped up into a sitting position. His handsome face filled with gentleness as he said, “Stinkin’ woman, I’m back.”
Bai Feiyun lowered his eyes and turned to leave.
“You ah, even like this you still cause trouble and insist on waiting until this young master comes back to eat. I’m telling you! I’ll be charging you for this service!
“Of course, I know that you’re poor.
“So I’ve thought up a plan. Right now, this young master is working like a horse to look after you. So once you wake up, cook for me everyday in order to pay me back, got it?”
Jun Xin’s voice was hoarse but he still continued to chatter nonstop. After a while, Tang Doudou, who had been refusing to eat, opened her eyes slightly.
Jun Xin was so stirred up that he almost dropped the bowl. His hands trembled, and his voice did so as well. “Doudou? A-are, are you awake?”
However, it was false hope. Tang Doudou only opened her eyes briefly before closing them again. After a few moments, there was the sound of even breathing.
She had fallen asleep.
Jun Xin heaved a sigh and placed the bowl to the side before helping her lie down and tucking the blanket in around her.
“Bai gongzi, what exactly is the method you were talking about? Can you tell me now?” Jun Xin strode out with large steps and impatiently grabbed Bai Feiyun to press him for answers. “She’s not willing to open her mouth. Is her condition already starting to get worse?”
“From the looks of it, she is getting worse.” When Bai Feiyun heard that he hadn’t been able to convince Tang Doudou to eat the porridge, a trace of relief actually appeared in his eyes. He casually avoided Jun Xin’s grasp and said, “Young Master Jun has probably guessed the method I was about to propose, haven’t you?”
Jun Xin was silent for a few moments. “Are we really going to do this? Wake her up with Baili Yu’s voice?”
“Does Young Master Jun have a better idea?”
“No, but after she wakes up, if she can’t find Baili Yu, wouldn’t she fall into the same state again?” This was something Jun Xin was really worried about, but he was even more worried that Tang Doudou would hold a grudge against him.
She had once said that she hated being deceived the most.
Bai Feiyun said, “There’s no need for Young Master Jun to worry, a semi-comatose state isn’t something you can end up in at will. As long as she wakes up, Feiyun is ninety percent confident in helping her recover completely. However…”
“However what?”
“I’ll have to count on you for the events that follow.”
“What do you mean by that?” Jun Xin furrowed his brows. He then glanced up at the sky. The moon was currently covered by dense clouds. It was probably going to storm tomorrow.
Bai Feiyun said, “Once Alliance Head wakes up, someone must stay by her side at all times to watch over her just in case she falls into depression again.”
“That’s it?” Jun Xin smiled. “From now on, I won’t ever let her out of my sight again. There’s no need for Bai gongzi to worry about this.”
“Feiyun is relieved to hear that. We can’t rush in the process of waking her up, so starting now, Young Master Jun, you should do your best to mimic several voices. It’s best if they’re all good friends of the Alliance Head. Then gradually make it so that Alliance Head is convinced that Baili gongzi has come back and is waiting for her to wake up.”
“Alright!”
