Chapter 2909: Please Eat Something?
Gong Jie had been sitting by the window for an unknown period of time, looking like a stone sculpture.
Two days later, after sleeping for 48 hours, Yun Shishi finally woke up.
However, upon waking up, they found that she had become like a puppet that did not know how to smile or cry. She was like a soulless puppet, and would only either sit up in bed looking dazed, or lie down quietly.
Her empty eyes stared blankly at the ceiling.
She would not eat or drink.
It was hard to tell if she was trying to torture herself or force herself.
Gong Jie brought the bowl of porridge over and sat by the bed. He scooped up a spoonful and gently fed it into her mouth. His throat moved a little before he said with choked emotions, “Sis, look at me, look at me, okay? Have a little porridge, even if it’s just a little! You haven’t eaten for four days and four nights!”
…
“Xingze is dead, but he definitely wouldn’t have wanted to see you in this state!”
…
“Sis, please wake up? Don’t be like this! I want you to be well. I want you to be well!”
…
No matter how much he tried to persuade her, no matter how much he tried to coax her, Yun Shishi remained motionless as she looked out of the window. Her body seemed to have frozen, and her gaze was dull and lifeless.
She had no idea what she was looking at too.
Outside the window, there was only an eternal stretch of clear skies dotted with white clouds.
However, the ward was cold and dark. There was no light at all.
The sunlight was bright, and its light fell on the windowsill, but still it could not penetrate her heart.
She seemed to be dead. The only part of her that was alive, was just a shell.
Her heart had completely died on the day of the memorial service, and it was impossible for her to feel alive again!
Mu Yazhe stood at the entrance of the ward. His silhouette was tall and straight, yet it carried a tinge of loneliness and bleakness.
She was like this every day.
When awake, she would lie motionless on the bed. She neither ate nor drank. There was no emotion on her face. Apart from her biological needs, she would not get out of bed and walk around.
Sometimes, she would sit in the same place for an entire day without moving.
Mu Yazhe, Youyou, Little Yichen, and even Gong Jie took turns feeding her.
However, no matter how hard they tried to coax and persuade her, she continued to look ahead indifferently. It was as if all the light in her eyes had been extinguished and the darkness had lost its focus.
It was not as if Mu Yazhe had not tried to force food into her mouth.
But every time he forced fed her, she would inevitably throw up within ten minutes.
Helplessness.
They really could not think of any other way to coax her to eat.
Sometimes she sat by the window and looked out until the skies turned dark and the stars came out.
Seeing that she refused to eat, Gong Jie put the bowl aside, held her hand tightly, and gently kissed the back of her hand.
“Sis, if you don’t wish to eat, shall we have a chat instead? I haven’t heard your voice in a long time…”
“…”
“Sis, you haven’t eaten for days, and you haven’t talked to me! When we were young, we promised each other that even if we were to have an argument, we’d never have a cold war. Are you declaring a cold war on me now?”
“…”
Yun Shishi’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, as though reacting to him.
Gong Jie immediately picked up the bowl and scooped a mouthful of millet porridge. He brought it close to her mouth and coaxed, “Eat a little, just a little…”
Her lips parted slightly, but she did not respond.
