8: Su Qingge's doubts? Is this man really in love with me?
"It's so uncomfortable!"
"My nasal cavity is so uncomfortable... My throat hurts so much..."
"I don't want a feeding tube, please let me die peacefully!"
"I can't hold on... I really can't bear this torture anymore..."
"How long will this pain last?!"
"I'm really in so much pain!"
"Who can save me, who can help me... I want to die so badly..."
...On the hospital bed.
Su Qingge's face was as usual, sleeping peacefully like a sleeping beauty.
But in the dark prison of her consciousness.
The discomfort of the feeding tube being forcibly inserted into her body made Su Qingge incredibly painful, yet she couldn't cry out.
No one could know her despair, she could only endure it silently.
Just as Su Qingge was in unbearable mental pain, on the verge of collapse... she felt her hand being taken.
Immediately after, a pair of warm large hands firmly enveloped it.
Accompanying this was a man's low voice.
"Qingge, it must be hard..."
"Just bear with it a little longer, it will be over soon. Oh, by the way, let me tell you about myself!"
"After all, we didn't have much interaction before. I'm sure you're curious about what kind of person I am, right?"
"Hmm? Where should I start? How about from when I was a child..."
"..."
Lin Xuan, word by word, began to recount his past.
Primary school.
Middle school.
High school.
University graduation... Lin Xuan recounted his life journey very slowly and carefully.
But his humorous and interesting storytelling style.
Still gradually attracted the attention of the initially numb Su Qingge.
"This guy, he wore women's clothes when he was a kid?"
"Putting his hands in a rice bucket and thrusting them in and out, shouting: 'Iron Sand Palm?' Are all boys so chuunibyou?"
"Writing a note that says 'I am XX' and sticking it on the back of a classmate's seat? Are you sure you're not talking about me...?"
"I really want to reunite with my teachers and classmates again!"
...As Lin Xuan reminisced.
Su Qingge also unconsciously became engrossed.
Her thoughts drifted back to the happy times of her childhood, immersed in memories and unable to extricate herself.
She didn't even realize the "nasogastric feeding" had ended.
It wasn't until the doctors, with strange and puzzled looks, left the room, leaving only Liu Juan and two others!
Only then was Su Qingge startled awake by the sound of the door closing.
When she once again realized her current desperate situation, sadness welled up in her heart.
"If only I could experience those happy childhood times again..."
"Unfortunately... I can never go back..."
Just as Su Qingge was filled with sorrow!
Lin Xuan had already started talking about what happened three years ago, after his mother passed away in a car accident.
And the originally warm and pleasant tone began to change here... The pain after his mother's death.
Lin Jianjun's infidelity and favoritism.
Bai Yuelan's feigned weakness.
Lin Hao's manipulative behavior.
His own obsession with Su Qingge born out of jealousy.
The origin of his "intermittent explosive disorder," and the recent severing of ties with the Su Family... Lin Xuan thus recounted his past bit by bit.
He spoke of it lightly.
But Su Qingge and Liu Juan both listened with heavy hearts.
They had heard of favoring illegitimate children, but to this extent was simply unheard of?!
And Lin Xuan's experience of losing his mother also made Su Qingge empathize deeply.
She couldn't help but think of her own family.
Her parents and brother were very good to her, always doting on her like a princess.
Unfortunately, five years ago, they went abroad for business and encountered an assassination by an unknown force.
From then on, Su Qingge became an orphan and grew up overnight.
She forced herself to learn how to manage a company, to deal with social etiquette... Everything she did was so that one day, after finding her enemies, she would have the ability to avenge her family.
"I'm sorry... Dad, Mom, and Big Brother, I'm too useless..."
"Now, let alone avenging you, I can't even take care of myself..."
...Su Qingge's heart was filled with despair.
At this moment, Lin Xuan spoke again, his words full of confidence.
"Don't worry! Qingge, in less than a month."
"You will definitely wake up successfully! Trust me!"
"Now that our marriage is a fact, I will treat you as the love of my life."
Upon hearing this.
Su Qingge was noncommittal, but deep down, she didn't believe it.
At this moment, she only regarded this as Lin Xuan's well-intentioned lie.
However, in her heart, she no longer rejected Lin Xuan as she did at first.
Instead, she enjoyed the feeling of listening.
After all, since she fell into a coma, no one had spoken to her like this for a long time.
Aunt Liu or the doctors and maids at home.
Each time, they would only silently help her with "eating, drinking, and excretion," without saying a word during the process.
Even when her grandfather came, all he did was sigh by her bedside.
All of this made Su Qingge feel very suppressed and painful, making her believe that she was a useless burden.
How much she wished someone would treat her like a normal person and talk to her.
Even if what they said was irrelevant, it didn't matter... On the other side.
Lin Xuan was still enthusiastically recounting.
According to his experience as a love guru before transmigrating, to eliminate a new acquaintance's unfamiliarity with you.
First, you have to let the other person understand your past.
Preferably, this past should also be full of tragedy.
After all, many women are emotional.
Under emotional influence, the other person's perception of you will also be different.
So Lin Xuan, relying on his familiarity with the plot.
Tried his best to describe his background as "pitiable" in order to evoke sympathy.
The only problem was that he couldn't judge Su Qingge's specific attitude through the expression of a vegetative person... But he glanced at the beautiful female housekeeper not far away, whose eyes were red.
She was full of maternal love and looked at him with sympathy.
Lin Xuan felt... the effect should still be good... and what made Lin Xuan most happy was!
Because he had been holding Su Qingge's small hand without letting go.
So the integral panel that originally showed [42] in his mind.
At this moment, it was continuously jumping, increasing by 1 point every 20 seconds.
"To gain 1 point, it takes 20 seconds."
"So 1 minute is 3 points."
"10 minutes is 30 points."
"1 hour is 180 points."
Lin Xuan calculated happily.
He was now so eager to get "intimacy" points.
Otherwise, he could only gaze at the "gold mountain" in the system mall every day, unable to obtain it, feeling an unbearable itch!!!
So, in order to get more points.
The entire afternoon.
Lin Xuan almost never left the bedside, talking to Su Qingge about everything under the sun.
He presented himself as a deeply affectionate and good husband.
During this period, except for occasional incontinence when he needed to avoid her.
His hand was stuck to Su Qingge's, never letting go... Soon.
The afternoon passed just like that.
Night fell.
Seeing that Lin Xuan was still in high spirits, holding his young lady's hand and talking non-stop.
Liu Juan couldn't help but clench her right fist, placing it over her mouth and lightly coughing a few times:
"Mr. Lin, it's getting late."
"Please go back and rest early! You can come and chat with Miss again tomorrow!"
What?
How could it be so fast???
I haven't held it enough yet?!
Lin Xuan reluctantly released the girl's hand.
Only then did he realize that it was already midnight.
He was about to discuss with the beautiful female housekeeper whether he could just stay here and sleep while holding Su Qingge's hand.
After all, this was a huge wave of points!
But looking at the beautiful female housekeeper's gradually sharper gaze, Lin Xuan chuckled awkwardly.
He finally gave up on this unrealistic idea.
After saying "good night" to Su Qingge, he reluctantly left the room... And this series of actions left Su Qingge and the others confused and puzzled.
"Could it be that Lin Xuan is serious about me?"
"But would any man truly be willing to take care of a paralyzed, infertile vegetative person for a lifetime?"
"But he stayed by my bedside for several hours straight..."
"If it was just for show, there's no need for that, is there?!"
...Lin Xuan's actions, at first, were seen by the Su Family as a show, just to live a better life after becoming a son-in-law.
So he deliberately put on a show for them.
More precisely... it was to show Su Shengtian.
After all, Su Qingge was his most beloved Granddaughter!
As long as he did a good job on the surface, he could at least ensure a life of luxury after marrying into the family.
But Lin Xuan performed too well, like a devoted man truly in love with his wife, staying by the bedside for an entire afternoon.
This caused some confusion among the Su Family members.
But that was all!
Hardly anyone in the Su Family believed that there was any man in this world who would have genuine feelings for a vegetative person.
Even if there was, it was just a short-term impulse upon seeing a beautiful woman.
Even Su Qingge herself firmly believed this.
"No filial son stays by a sickbed for long."
"Let alone me, a useless person who can't even take care of herself."
"I just don't know how many days Lin Xuan can last..."
"But even if it's only a few days, it's enough. At least for these few days, someone is willing to talk to me."
"Even if it might not last long, for me... it's undoubtedly the best comfort..."
...On the other side.
Lin Xuan had already returned to his room.
He was full of excitement, calculating his gains for the day.
The integral panel clearly displayed: [920]
In just one afternoon, the points had surged from dozens to nearly a thousand.
Upon seeing this.
Lin Xuan couldn't stop the smile on his face.
He quickly opened the system panel, ready to find some good things.
But after 1 minute.
Lin Xuan, looking dejected, directly exited the system mall.
"Scammer, this system mall must be run by a dog-scammer."
"Any random item costs tens of thousands, what a dog-scammer!!!"
Lin Xuan mumbled non-stop, on the verge of tears.
Only then did he realize that he was just a pauper!
However, this time checking, Lin Xuan was not without any gains.
He had his eye on a set of massage techniques, touted as a supreme massage method specifically for vegetative patients.
"Item: Danqing Miaoshou Massage Technique"
"Price: 1500"
"Description: A massage technique exclusively for vegetative patients. It can quickly restore the patient's body and allow them to experience a rejuvenating recovery speed."
"Disadvantage: Time-consuming and troublesome, requires daily close-contact massage. The patient's awakening time depends entirely on their physical condition, ranging from ten days to half a month, or even two and a half years."
Close-contact massage?
And it has to be daily???
Is this a disadvantage?!
For me, this is simply a perfect skill tailored for me!!!
After reading the system description, Lin Xuan's eyes shone brightly.
It would be against all reason if he didn't exchange for this skill!!!
