Ye Hanyi couldn't help but smile as he watched Dong Xiaoxiao come out from the mirror image. "Happy birthday, Xiaoxiao."
Ye Hanyi looked at the mirror, and after blowing out the candle, he began to cut the cake with a knife and fork placed beside it.
One by one, as they cut, they cut out an exquisite gift box wrapped in tin paper. After carefully opening the package, an exquisite diamond ring appeared.
Although this was a pleasant surprise, Ye Hanyi still gently took him out. He knelt on one knee in front of the mirrors and said with eyes full of tenderness, "I love you, Xiaoxiao."
God knows, he had included all the tenderness of his life in this sentence, and he only hoped that his tenderness would awaken the person he longed for.
However, as time passed, Ye Hanyi's body didn't change at all.
His mind was still clear. He knew very well that this was still his own consciousness.
Outside the door, he started to panic with Ye Hanyi, this kind of romantic couple.
"Tell me, why is there no movement from inside?" Tang Shirley was a bit worried,
"He's probably immersed in the joy of our reunion." Le Xiao didn't think so. After all, they were already so romantic. If she didn't give him some face, he would lose a lot of face.
Tang Shirley was speechless. This guy wasn't worried about his life in the first place, so he went in to see what the situation was like without even looking back.
"Hanyi …"
Ye Hanyi already knew that he had failed once again. He lay limply on the ground, holding the ring in his hand. His dispirited look made even Tang Shirley's heart ache.
"This …" Soon after, Le Xiao also entered. Needless to say, she knew what had happened.
The two of them tactfully did not ask any further questions and did not know how to comfort Ye Hanyi.
"Why don't we go to the Xiao family and have a try. Her parents are there, so maybe the warmth will help her wake up." Le Xiao suggested after a long time. Maybe it was because he wasn't too confident, or because he was a businessman, but he didn't have the courage to talk.
"Sure!" Ye Hanyi, on the other hand, listened. Looking at himself in the mirror, he did not intend to give up.
At the Dong Village.
As soon as he entered the village, he saw a few old men carrying stools to take advantage of the shade. Some had nets in their hands, while others were playing with children. It was an auspicious scene to behold.
"Xiaoxiao is back." An old woman who was weaving a web looked at her benevolently. The movements of her hands didn't stop, and her movements were extremely skilled.
Ye Hanyi was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered that he was the one occupying this body. He thought about her usual tone and tried his best to imitate it, "Yes mother-in-law. I'm back."
Ye Hanyi's tone was a bit stiff, but fortunately, it was just a simple greeting and the grandma didn't notice anything unusual. Ye Hanyi let out a sigh of relief in his heart and then used his memory to search for Dong Xiaoxiao's home.
Standing at the door of the house, he repeatedly checked his surroundings until he was absolutely sure that there was nothing wrong with it. Only then did he carefully enter the house.
"Woof woof woof!" The dog at the entrance saw him coming back and happily barked. It happily ran up to him and wagged its tail, as if it was welcoming its master back.
Ye Hanyi was frightened by the sudden 'surprise attack' and took a few steps back. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was a dog from Dong Xiaoxiao's house.
He was not familiar with other species, so he could not completely relax. Moreover, he did not like small animals and things like that. Compared to dogs, he was much colder.
He hoped that he could call her back here.
Ye Hanyi clenched his fist as he thought to himself while calling out Dong Xiaoxiao's name in hopes that she would have some reaction.
However, he was destined to be disappointed. There was no reaction from the other consciousness in his sea of consciousness at all.
"Xiaoxiao, why did you come back?" Mother Dong heard the dog bark and put down the remote control to leave the house. Her daughter was surrounded by the dog, but no one knew what she was thinking.
Ye Hanyi was still immersed in his own world and did not notice Mother Dong at all.
Mother Dong was a little puzzled. She said to the dog, "Go and go." He first chased the dog away from Ye Hanyi. Seeing that he still had no reaction, he reached out his hand and patted him twice before pulling him out of the sea of consciousness.
He didn't like people touching him, so he was disturbed for no reason. A cold light flashed in his eyes, startling Mother Dong.
In that instant, she felt that the person in front of her was not her own daughter. How could she have such a terrifying gaze? Looking further, Ye Hanyi's gaze had already returned to normal, as if what he saw was just an illusion.
"What's wrong?" After a moment of hesitation, he was still unable to call out that word.
Mother Dong rubbed her eyes to confirm that the person in front of her was indeed her daughter. Seriously, I don't know why she would think that way just now. This was clearly her daughter, there's no mistake.
"Come on, let's go inside. It's not easy for you to come back. Your dad and I will cook more tonight. It's been a long time since we last ate the food I made." Mother Dong was the first to open the door for him. She took the box from his hands and placed it in Dong Xiaoxiao's room.
Dong Xiaoxiao's room was decorated in green.
What's that? Ye Hanyi's eyes focused slightly. A set of black tea set on the table attracted his attention. The set of tea set seemed to be out of place within the room.
The tea set was black and gold in color. The black tea set had golden patterns engraved on its surface, giving off a luxurious feeling. However, from what he knew, Dong Xiaoxiao was just an ordinary student. How could she have such a thing?
He had too many questions, but Dong Xiaoxiao couldn't answer them. Perhaps she wouldn't tell him when she woke up.
"Xiaoxiao, it's time to eat." Dong Xiaoxiao's father pushed open the door gently and looked at him in a daze. His daughter would never be alone in a daze. With her personality, even if he was locked in a room by himself, she would still find joy in it.
"Alright, please wait for me." The customary polite reply caused Father Dong to pause for a moment. Why did he become so courteous after coming back?
However, he was happy to see his daughter's change. After all, she didn't look like a girl when she was mad before, so he didn't have any doubts.
Sigh … She secretly let out a breath in her heart, hoping that living with her parents would be enough to bring her back.
If he was given another chance, he would definitely not make her sad again. He would definitely accept her confession, even if he didn't have much time left to spend with her.
He really regretted it now … Regret.
