Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 637: This Manic-Depressive Period Lasts a Long Time
When they saw Gu Jue appear, they visibly let out a sigh of relief.
"Commander Gu, you’ve finally arrived."
Gu Jue frowned slightly, "You woke up so quickly this time?"
Gu Qingyu also had a very serious expression, "I’m not sure either, it’s possible that Xiaochen has developed drug resistance. He might not wake up next time; we might have to do this again."
Gu Jue nodded and walked inside. Gu Chen initially looked wary when he saw so many people, but he relaxed after seeing his father.
He called out, "Father."
Gu Jue paused, "You’ve woken up?"
Gu Chen nodded.
Su Wan hurried over, she had barely been able to bear seeing her son knocked out again, and now that she heard he had woken up, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Xiaochen, how do you feel now? Can you control yourself?"
Gu Chen nodded and then looked around before his gaze settled on Gu Qingyu, "My current state should be the same as before we used the Inducement Agent."
Gu Qingyu did some checks on Gu Chen and finally, after several rounds, confirmed he had indeed come to. The previous ordeals had finally neutralized the effects of the Inducement Agent.
It was already past eleven in the evening at this point.
Su Wan turned and said, "Big brother Qingyu, you should all go back and rest. Xiaochen is fine for now, and it’s really late to be bothering you all like this."
"It’s our duty, not a bother. But keep an eye on him, and contact me anytime if there’s any discomfort."
"Sure."
Su Wan saw Gu Qingyu and the others out. Gu Jue looked at his elder son who was sitting there, looking a bit disheveled... As a result of the earlier turmoil, Gu Chen was now soaked with cold sweat, and even a tuft of his hair was sticking up.
It reminded Gu Jue of their child’s past.
He calmly asked, "You’re really alright?"
Gu Chen got out of bed, his steps wobbly but firm. He nodded, "Yeah, who do you think I am the son of? Could a mere Inducement Agent defeat me? Ow, my neck really hurts."
Gu Jue averted his gaze calmly and spoke in a still calm voice, "Now that you are awake, go take a shower first, get some good rest. We’ll talk about other matters after dawn."
Gu Chen nodded, "But I’ll send a message to Li Rui first; he’s still on Four Seasons Star."
"Hmm."
Gu Jue turned and left.
Gu Chen frowned slightly, feeling that his father was a bit too concerned about him today, strangely so.
He touched his neck and winced, hissing, "Feels like someone hit me?"
Gu Chen went to the bathroom, washed off the cold sweat, changed into clean home clothes, and then messaged Li Rui, saying he had safely returned to Landis Star.
In fact, Gu Jue had already informed Li Rui, but he told him not to let others know for the time being that Xiaochen had returned.
They wanted to blow this out of proportion.
That way, those people wouldn’t dare to have such thoughts again in the future.
Similarly, it would also provide a good opportunity to do something about them, to really give them a good dealing with.
Li Rui also hadn’t slept all night. Previously, he only knew that His Majesty had been sent back to Landis Star, but he had not regained consciousness.
Now that he was sure he had come to, he was finally able to relax.
Meanwhile, Gu Chen was exhausted, yet he felt no urge to sleep, his short hair still dripping water. He looked ruggedly handsome with a slight frown.
He was thinking about what had happened before.
Gu Chen’s memory had started to blur from the moment he realized it was the Inducement Agent; all he remembered was attacking that woman with his superpower.
And afterwards...
It seemed that he had encountered someone, but he couldn’t recall what they looked like or what they had said to him.
Xiaoyan?
From that hazy patch of memory, Gu Chen could only extract his sister Xiaoyan’s name; beyond that, he remembered nothing.
Just now, father had also mentioned that he had suddenly appeared in Xiaoyan’s dormitory, then Xiaoyan and Xiaoyu had taken him home together.
No, there had been an accident in between.
Vaguely, Gu Chen remembered something else.
It was... a rabbit.
At that moment, there was a knock on Gu Chen’s door, with Su Wan standing outside, "Xiaochen, have you gone to bed yet?"
"Not yet," Gu Chen walked over to open the door and saw his mother Su Wan standing at the doorway.
Su Wan spoke, "You’re not planning to sleep now, are you? Mom wants to have a chat with you."
"Sure."
In front of others, he was the young and majestic emperor, but to Su Wan, he was always her little wolf cub.
Su Wan walked in, sat down on the sofa, and looked at her eldest son’s condition, her gaze tender, "You do seem to be a bit better now, but there are still some worries, aren’t there?"
Gu Chen nodded, "I can only wait for this Manic-Depressive Period to completely end."
He was also a bit annoyed; this Manic-Depressive Period was taking unusually long.
Suddenly, Su Wan asked, "Xiaochen, you like Vivian, don’t you?"
The young monarch was momentarily flustered by the topic; his mother had brought it up before, and at that time, he had told her that he was just interested in the girl, feeling something special, but it wasn’t to the point of liking her.
"Mom, we talked about this last time."
Yet, Su Wan smiled and said, "You said last time that you were just a bit interested in her, not sure whether you liked her or not, but this time, you’ve made up your mind."
"What?"
"When you inexplicably showed up in Xiaoyan’s dorm, Vivian was also there. You were unclear of your surroundings, yet you held on to that girl’s hand tightly and wouldn’t let go. Later, having no other choice, Xiaoyan and Xiaoyu brought her along to our house."
Gu Chen’s eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up, "Is she still at our house?"
Su Wan shook her head, "No, she’s gone home. But initially, you did scare the girl, and the Inducement Agent on you somewhat affected her as well. Fortunately, it wasn’t serious and after taking the exclusive medicine, her condition improved."
"Eventually, when you finally let go of her, I had Xiaoyan stay with her until her emotions had stabilized, and then had Xiaoyan and Xiaoyu send her home."
In just a few words, Su Wan recounted the events.
Looking at her eldest son’s unusually bewildered face, she smiled again, "Anyway, you’ve scared that young lady, so remember to apologize later."
"Mm, I will."
Su Wan didn’t continue. After telling her son to rest well, she got up and left.
Meanwhile, Gu Chen had little desire to sleep; he sat there for quite a while, recalling his mother’s words, suddenly feeling like sending a message to that little rabbit.
Then, belatedly, he realized he didn’t have Vivian’s brain-com number!
