Then, under the watchful eyes of Nangong Yu and Theresa, the thin, weak hand slowly pressed against Nangong Yu's large hand, which was placed on the hatch, through a layer of special glass.

At that moment, he seemed to feel a familiar warmth, and a faint smile appeared under the moonlight. The red gem stared unblinkingly into his eyes.

"I've come to see you."

She spoke softly, not knowing if the moon could hear her.

Seeing her nod gently, Nangong Yu smiled. Just as she was about to say something, she noticed the small hand that was outstretched under the moon slowly falling down again.

And those eyes closed again.

Has it fallen asleep again?

He looked at Theresa, puzzled, but Theresa was even more puzzled than him. The two stared at each other, speechless.

After a while, Theresa finally spoke up: "This is really strange. I'll go ask the doctor. Let's go first and not disturb Yuexia's rest."

Nodding, Nangong Yu followed Theresa out of the room.

Soon, the doctors rushed over after learning about the situation. After a tense and thorough examination, they found Theresa and Nangong Yu in the waiting room with a graph full of zigzag lines.

"Doctor, is Xiaoyue alright?"

Upon seeing him, Theresa immediately asked nervously.

Seeing the two pairs of eager eyes, the doctor smiled with relief and waved his hand at them: "Don't worry, Miss Yuexia is fine. In fact, her recovery is even better than expected."

The two breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're alright."

The doctor, whose hair was already gray, pushed up his glasses and then looked at Theresa and asked, "Miss Theresa, did you say anything to Miss Yuexia a week ago? You've noticed her emotional fluctuations this week."

Taking out the watch in his hand, the doctor patiently said, "Do you see the peak of this week? It's obviously more drastic than the fluctuations last month. A few days ago, we thought it was an isolated case when she was just falling into a deep sleep, after all, this kind of situation has happened before. However, judging from the fact that Miss Yuexia was able to wake up today, it seems that this time is quite special."

"Has anything else been said compared to before...?"

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly looked up and then looked at the somewhat bewildered Nangong Yu: "I told you that you were coming to see her!"

"what?"

How is this related to him?

"Hiss~ I see."

Stroking his beard, the doctor looked curiously at the bewildered Nangong Yu.

"This...this shouldn't affect Yuexia, right?"

Seeing Nangong Yu's nervousness, the doctor smiled again and said with relief, "It has an effect, but it's a good one."

After saying that, he looked at Theresa: "Miss Theresa, do you know what we did before to ensure that Miss Moon would wake up on time?"

Theresa shook her head.

"It's electrical stimulation, using a weak current to stimulate the spirit under the moon, which can be considered a method of forcibly awakening."

"However, this kind of thing usually has some side effects. Although it will immediately invigorate Miss Yuexia's spirit, it may also cause slight damage to the nerves. After the treatment is over, she may experience headaches as a sequela, and she will still need a considerable amount of time to recuperate."

Upon hearing that it would damage the moonlight, Theresa frowned immediately.

"Is there no alternative method?"

"This is already the least harmful method for Miss Yuexia, but..."

Smiling, the doctor gently said to Nangong Yu, "However, it seems there is a better solution now. It can make Miss Yuexia's mind actively active, and even the sound of a voice can cause her mind to fluctuate. This kind of spontaneous fluctuation will not harm her in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, the two immediately understood what the doctor meant. Theresa instantly lunged forward, grabbed Nangong Yu by the collar, and forced him into a chair, saying with a 'kind' smile, "Nangong, you wouldn't want Xiaoyue's nerves to be damaged, would you?"

Chapter 165 A Day That Leaves Me Exhausted, Both Physically and Mentally

The room was exquisitely decorated, with a fresh and pleasant fragrance, a soft leather sofa, and sweet tea and snacks on the table.

Sitting here, Nangong Yu experienced for the first time what it truly meant to feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.

"Alright, Otto is gone. Xiaoyu, don't be afraid. He won't do anything."

Just now, after learning that Yuexia had woken up on her own, Otto's invitation quickly reached Nangong Yu's phone.

Faced with this, Nangong Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed.

However, the reality was somewhat different from what he had imagined. Otto had been very gentle with him, and even invited him to work at the headquarters of Destiny, where he could basically choose any of the companies under its umbrella. Only after he repeatedly refused did Otto give up.

For Yuexia's health, the two finally discussed and made a decision: Nangong Yu would visit the Tianming headquarters for a week at the end of each month until Yuexia's treatment was completed.

Correspondingly, Gensokyo can access resources from Schicksal, and some less unreasonable requests can be fulfilled.

As soon as the discussion ended, Otto was kicked out by Kallen. She and Theresa sat on the sofa opposite Nangong Yu, where Otto had just been sitting.

"No, I'm just a little nervous."

"Really? That's good. Otto is usually very gentle, I don't know why so many people are afraid of him."

Karen smiled gently as she spoke, but her expression quickly changed, and she said with some regret.

That was just him being gentle with you!

Nangong Yu and Theresa were both internally complaining.

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Karen."

Upon hearing this, Karen's expression immediately brightened. She grabbed Theresa's arm and shook it happily: "Theresa, Xiaoyu just called me 'sister'!"

"I heard it."

"But Theresa, you used to call me 'sister,' but now you keep calling me 'grandma.' Do I look that old?"

With a disgruntled grumble, Theresa quickly shook her head: "No, no, if I call her 'sister,' wouldn't the generational order be messed up?!"

"Then you can call him Otto, he won't mind~"

"Sigh~"

Imagining the scene Karen described, Theresa felt a chill run down her spine and shuddered violently.

Rather than calling that smiling, heartless grandpa "brother," she'd rather go to work dressed as a magical girl. What kind of terrifying punishment is this?!

"No, no, no, let's forget about it."

Seeing Theresa's face full of resistance, Karen shook her head with some regret.

After taking a sip of the now lukewarm bay leaf tea, Karen put down her teacup and smiled gently at Nangong Yu, saying, "From now on, I'll leave the care of Yuexia to you."

"It's no trouble at all, and I don't want Yuexia to get hurt."

"That's wonderful! Otto originally predicted that after Yuexia recovered, there was a high probability that she would suffer from headaches as a side effect, which would be difficult to cure, and there was also a small chance that her memory might be affected. Thanks to you, Xiaoyu~"

Raising her hand to support one cheek, her long, braided hair cascading down her shoulder to her chest, Karen squinted and sighed softly, "But this is truly disheartening."

"Lost?"

Nangong Yu repeated the sentence, somewhat puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Theresa burst into laughter.

While eating her snacks, she said with amusement, "When Yuexia was born, she was not in good health and was admitted to the intensive care unit. So, over the years, besides the doctors and researchers, her grandfather and Grandma Karen have been by her side."

She raised her head, a hint of amusement in her blue eyes: "So what happened? Grandpa and Grandma's stimulation of the moonlit spirit was less than that of some wild boy who appeared out of nowhere. Isn't that interesting?"

"...Perhaps it's because we're so familiar with it that it's hard for us to get excited."

Theresa, please shut up! Didn't you see that even Karen Mok is silent?!

"Ahem, well, after listening to you talk for so many years, is Yuexia really that old?"

Seeing that Theresa wanted to add insult to injury, Nangong Yu quickly changed the subject.

"Not too big, considering the time she was asleep..."

Touching her chin, Theresa said somewhat uncertainly, "He's only about ten years older than you."

"Pfft!! Cough cough, ten, ten years old?!"

"I already said it's based on the time spent in a deep sleep."

He glanced at Nangong Yu's surprised expression with some disdain, and then added helplessly, "If we only consider the time she woke up, then she's about your age."

"That's it."

"What, you don't mean you're looking down on Yuexia because she's too old, do you?"

"No, no, no, how could that be?"

"Xiaoyu is a good child, so please don't bully Yuexia!"

Upon hearing Karen say this, Nangong Yu hurriedly waved his hand awkwardly in explanation.

He was genuinely just a little surprised.

That small, cute, and innocent-looking face couldn't possibly be ten years older than him.

As the sun began to set in the west, Nangong Yu saw a sliver of orange light outside the window and bid farewell to Karen and Theresa.

"Are you really not staying for dinner? I have so much to say to Xiaoyu."

"No, no, my friend is waiting for me, and I have an event to attend tomorrow, so I won't stay any longer today."

"That's such a shame."

As Nangong Yu boarded the black luxury car that Tianming had arranged for his pick-up, he waved goodbye to Karen and Theresa.

"Drive slowly on the road and be sure to pay attention to safety."

After giving the driver a few words of advice, Karen smiled and waved to him, saying, "Remember to come earlier next time, and I'll cook for you myself."

"Okay, I'll look forward to it then. See you next time, Karen."

He replied with a smile, completely unaware of Theresa's sudden expression of terror.

The car set off quickly, and the driver drove very smoothly, so smoothly that Nangong Yu felt sleepy.

Of course, didn't you see that even the boss's wife came out to see him off? How could a working man like him dare to be negligent?

Half asleep, when the driver opened the back door and told him that he had arrived at his destination, Nangong Yu looked up and saw that the black night sky was already dotted with many stars.

"Whoo~"

After yawning, Nangong Yu got out of the car and stretched out a long yawn.
