Chapter 1793 - 1789: Everything Depends on His Own Fate (Second Update)
Chapter 1793: Chapter 1789: Everything Depends on His Own Fate (Second Update)
The crowd all looked down.
Indeed.
Old Xie’s finger twitched slightly, seemingly unconsciously.
Originally sobbing, Xie Jingjing immediately stopped crying upon seeing this, then crawled forward, hope filled on her face as she looked at her father.
At the same time, Old Xie’s eyelids trembled lightly, then slowly opened his eyes.
Upon seeing his eyes in that instant, Xie Jingjing’s heart sank to the bottom.
Because she couldn’t see the slightest glimmer of light in those eyes, just like before when he was Old Xie, completely unchanged.
Xie Jingjing felt icy cold all over, trembling as she cried out, "Dad! Say something, Dad!"
But Old Xie showed no response at all, just blankly staring ahead.
Auntie Pang was trembling too, softly murmuring, "Xiao An, your Uncle Xie he..."
Xue Anye had rushed over, and after carefully examining Old Xie’s condition, he finally fell silent, then shook his head.
"Failed!"
At these words, Xie Jingjing completely broke down, she collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face as she murmured.
"Dad, look at me, I’m your daughter Jingjing! Aren’t I your favorite? You said you’d watch me get married, why won’t you wake up? Dad, I miss you so much, I really miss you!"
These tearful words silenced everyone present.
Xue An couldn’t help but sigh softly.
Actually, given Xue An’s current strength, he could forcibly modify Old Xie’s soul to make him act like a normal person.
But the consequence of that would be Old Xie becoming another person.
After all, with even the soul changed, can it still be the same person?
This is why Xue An and Zhuge Cang went to great lengths to find remnants of Old Xie’s spirit.
Because only this way can it be ensured that the awakened is still the Old Xie he once was.
However, the world is unpredictable, and ultimately they failed.
Just as Xue An shook his head, ready to go forward and console the inconsolably crying duo of Auntie Pang and Xie Jingjing.
For some unknown reason, perhaps due to Xie Jingjing’s cries, a slight gleam suddenly flashed in Old Xie’s otherwise blank eyes.
This change was extremely slight, and only Xue An noticed it, startled for a moment.
"Auntie Pang, Jingjing, don’t cry yet, Uncle Xie is..."
Just then, old Xie’s eyes gradually showed signs of vitality, and his previously dazed face turned softer.
This change made the entire room fall silent.
Xie Jingjing was so excited, she trembled all over, opened her mouth to call "Dad", but dared not speak, fearing it might disturb Old Xie.
The light in Old Xie’s eyes was gradually restoring, as if a computer rebooting after a malfunction, the whole process took a full minute.
No one spoke throughout the process.
Everyone silently watched.
Xie Jingjing’s palms were full of cold sweat from nervousness, staring unblinkingly at her father.
Finally.
As the gleam in Old Xie’s eyes gradually gathered, he slowly raised his head, first looking at Auntie Pang beside him, then his face broke into a gentle smile.
"Jing... Jingjing’s mom!"
The voice was indistinct, like someone long silent practicing speech anew.
But such a simple address made Auntie Pang’s tears flow uncontrollably, unable to speak, only nodding fervently.
Then Old Xie looked at Xie Jingjing and laboriously said, "Jing..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Jingjing had already thrown herself into his arms, wailing loudly.
This scene also made An Yan and others cry along, especially Xiang Xiang, Nian Nian, and Xiao Yu, who cried like drenched statues.
Even Huyue couldn’t help but wipe away tears, exclaiming, "It’s so touching, even I can’t help wanting to cry!"
Amidst the cries, Old Xie affectionately patted his daughter’s shoulder, "Good girl, don’t cry!"
Xie Jingjing then gradually stopped sobbing.
After that old Xie struggled to stand up from the ground, he smiled at Xue An, grinning.
"Xiao An, thank you!"
By now he was speaking much more fluently, his facial expressions more vivid too.
Xue An smiled, "Uncle Xie, you should thank not me, but yourself, without your persistence, there wouldn’t be this opportunity today!"
Saying so, he looked seriously at Old Xie, "Uncle Xie, how is your memory recovery now?"
Old Xie shook his head, "So much is forgotten, I only remember that after being hit, part of my consciousness scattered in the air, I wanted to talk to someone, but found I couldn’t affect anything, so I could only roam alone in space, and as time passed my consciousness faded, thought I couldn’t last, never expected to wake up!"
When Xue An heard this, he exhaled a long breath, for from Old Xie’s clear logic it could be seen that his consciousness wasn’t damaged, though some memories were lost, recovering to such an extent was already an incredible blessing.
Thus he couldn’t help but jokingly say, "Memory lost is lost, I just wonder if Uncle Xie’s culinary skills are lost too, I was hoping to crash at your place for dinner tonight!"
This remark instantly brightened the somewhat sad atmosphere in the room.
Old Xie’s consciousness was increasingly clear, hearing this he couldn’t help but laugh, "Rest assured, Xiao An, your Uncle Xie could forget Auntie Pang but not my cooking!"
This remark made Auntie Pang and Xie Jingjing burst into smiles, especially Auntie Pang, she gave Old Xie a playful glare, infinitely delighted.
"Hah, just woke up and you’re already talking nonsense! Hurry and cook, right now with Xiao An here, we’ll all have a good celebration tonight!"
Xie Jingjing was worried, "Dad, you just woke up, can you manage?"
Old Xie grinned, "Daughter, don’t you trust your dad’s cooking? I could make a whole feast with my eyes closed."
With that, he rushed off to the kitchen.
Xie Jingjing wanted to say something, but Xue An stopped her, "Let Uncle Xie go! He’s been in that man-not-man ghost-not-ghost state for so long, being a bit excited after waking is normal! Plus, doing what he used to do often can help him recover faster!"
Xie Jingjing heard this and nodded in agreement, then gratefully said, "Thank you, Xiao An brother!"
"Thank?" Xue An laughed, "It’s what I should do, what thanks! Let’s go, wait inside to taste Uncle Xie’s skills!"
With that, he walked into Old Xie’s Restaurant.
Xie Jingjing watched Xue An’s back, a touch of desolation appeared in her eyes, but it was immediately deeply concealed, and then she walked over quickly.
