When it was time to pay, the two female staff members at the window looked at Kouta as if he were a weirdo when they saw him pouring a large amount of yen out of his sack.

It wasn't that they were surprised by the amount of money; they might not have money, but they were certainly knowledgeable.

What surprised them was that Kouta was paying with so much cash. Didn't he have a bank card or credit card?

"What's wrong?" Kouta asked, puzzled, looking at the staff member who hadn't moved for a while.

"Oh, sir, do you have a bank card or credit card?"

"No, is cash not acceptable?"

"……Can."

Left with no other option, the two female employees began counting the money bundle by bundle using a money counter.

After all the formalities were completed, another young nurse respectfully stopped in front of Kouta.

"Sir, please follow me!"

She led the way for Kouta, taking him to the top floor of T3. After handing him over to the nurses there, another nurse led him to a private ward.

All the hospital rooms here are private, beautifully decorated, and have stunning views, but the prices are also extremely high.

The nurse turned on the room light. The room wasn't large, probably around thirty square meters, with wooden floors, a white ceiling, and light blue curtains.

In the center of the room was a hospital bed, on which Hui lay quietly, covered with a blanket. Her beautiful eyes were closed, and her expression was serene, as if she were asleep. One slender, fair hand was exposed on the edge of the bed, with a clip between the tip of her slender index finger and a machine next to the bed.

The little head that was sticking out was also covered with sensors, which were connected to another, larger instrument. On the screen of that instrument, several steady colored lines were moving...

A huge television hangs on the wall opposite the hospital bed. Some abstract oil paintings in the other empty spaces on the wall are hanging. Further into the room, there is a sofa as big as a single bed. In front of the sofa is a glass coffee table with a tea set and fruit on it.

Directly opposite the coffee table is a fully equipped computer setup and a set of desks and chairs. At the far end is a floor-to-ceiling window covering an entire wall, with light blue curtains. There is also a door on the side leading to a washroom, bathroom, and other facilities.

"Hui, no, has the patient woken up?" Kouta asked.

The nurse shook her head: "No, the patient has been very stable."

Kouta came to the bedside and looked at Hui'an sleeping peacefully. Her beautiful face was serene and peaceful, as if she were just sleeping.

When he saw the transparent tube protruding from Huiqiong's nose, he frowned and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"This is a feeding tube, used to feed the patient."

"A feeding tube? This tube extends from the nostril into the stomach?" Kouta's expression changed.

“Yes,” the nurse replied matter-of-factly.

"Pull it out!"

"Huh?" The nurse thought she had misheard.

"I told you to pull it out!" Kouta roared. "It's been inserted from her nose all the way down to her stomach. Do you know how much pain Hui is in!"

"This is to make it easier to feed the patient, and since the patient is unconscious now, it won't be difficult for him..." The nurse's words came to an abrupt halt as Kouta's gaze grew increasingly gloomy.

Kouta realized that his behavior was a bit out of line. He calmed himself down and said, "Pull it out. I'll feed myself."

Seeing that Kōta was so assertive, and that those who could get medical treatment here were all wealthy and powerful, far beyond what a graduate from a prestigious university like herself could afford to offend.

She had no choice but to go out and ask the head nurse for her opinion, and then came back with a companion. The two of them worked together to remove Hui's feeding tube.

After she finished, she cautiously asked Kouta, "Is there anything else you need, sir?"

"It's alright, I'll call you if I need anything."

"Okay." The nurse said and left the room.

Suddenly, only Kouta and Hui remained in the room.

The lighting in the ward was very soft, the kind of light that wouldn't be glaring even if you looked directly at it.

Kouta gently stroked Hui's cheek, his face full of tenderness: "Hui, no matter how difficult the illness is to cure, I will definitely cure you! You will be alright! Goodnight..."

Then Kouta turned off the lights and lay down on the sofa in the room to sleep.

A lot happened today, and Kouta's nerves were on edge the whole time, but now he can finally calm down.

The moonlight in early winter is clear and cold, faint and soft, like flowing water, quietly pouring into the room through the window screen, dappling the floor with mottled patterns.

Gazing at this tranquil scene, Kouta's mind went blank.

Many details he hadn't noticed before began to surface in his mind.

For example, last night Huifei asked him to tell the story of "The Sleeping Beauty," and even asked him, "What would you do if you were unconscious like Sleeping Beauty?"

These scenes struck him like a bolt of lightning.

He quickly got up, turned on the light, and went to the bedside.

He leaned down and looked at Hui's peaceful sleeping face.

"Hui, did you know all along that things would turn out this way?"

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed Hui's lips.

The familiar touch and smell come rushing towards me, like lying on a soft blanket, as if spring has arrived.

Like the prince waking the princess in "Sleeping Beauty," the ritual symbolizing love seems to initiate some ancient covenant...

Chapter 429 Low IQ is a big problem

Kouta's kiss was like a switch, activating the hypnotic program that Hui had previously left in her mind.

Hui couldn't be sure when she would return this time.

So, before leaving, she hypnotized the remaining consciousness in her body. Hypnotizing oneself is a basic skill for those with psychological abilities.

Just as Hui implied, Kouta's kiss was a "switch" that could activate the remaining consciousness in the body.

Although this remaining "consciousness" is extremely... stupid!

Their expressive abilities, comprehension abilities, calculation abilities, creative thinking abilities, imagination abilities, dialectical thinking abilities, etc., are at most at the level of a two-year-old child.

However, this is better than remaining "unconscious".

Moreover, this was the worst-case scenario that Hui had made. If she couldn't come back, then even though her remaining consciousness would be a bit foolish, she could still accompany Kouta for the rest of his life.

What Ling Hui didn't expect was that when Geng Tai saw her unconscious, he panicked and his mind went blank. He didn't remember her hint from last night at all, and instead took her directly to the hospital, causing so much trouble for no reason.

"Uuuuu~"

Hui let out a soft moan, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she opened her empty, lifeless, dark eyes, which were blank, unfocused, and unfocused.

Kouta gazed at the girl beneath him with overwhelming joy. She was a girl of otherworldly beauty, sacred and pure, making him wish he could offer her all the beautiful things in the world, just to win a faint smile from her.

Especially her lips, rosy and moist from being kissed, were so luscious they seemed to drip with moisture, which, combined with her innocent and naive expression, added a unique charm.

This was the first time Kouta had seen Hui so "dazed and confused." He thought that Hui had been unconscious for a long time and her mind was still a bit foggy, so she hadn't noticed anything unusual about Hui.

Hui's beautiful eyes gradually filled with a childlike, timid, and curious light, like a fledgling bird seeing the strange and wonderful world outside for the first time.

Then, Hui's eyes began to focus, gradually adapting to the light, and she could see Kouta clearly, who was right in front of her.

Her once empty and lifeless eyes became pure white and innocent, and her small mouth was slightly pouting, as if she was recalling something. After a moment, the remaining memories seemed to finally make Hui remember who the man in front of her was.

In an instant, her supple body, without any external assistance, sat up from the bed using only its own flexibility and lunged at Kouta. As a result, a large portion of the sensor patches she was wearing on her head were torn off, and the remaining ones became loose.

Fortunately, Kouta reacted quickly and stepped back a few centimeters, adjusting the distance and angle, and then opened his arms in time to catch Hui, just like a soccer goalkeeper catching the ball, thus preventing the tragedy of the two heads colliding.

"Kouta, Kouta." Hui's voice was childlike, filled with affection and joy, calling out like a kitten meeting its mother.

Kōta hugged Hui tightly. Overjoyed at having regained what he had lost and the turn of his misfortune, he wanted to meld Hui into his own body. Of course, he didn't really use any force, just a little more than usual.

He felt Hui's soft, boneless body, her slender waist that could be grasped in one hand, and greedily inhaled the fragrance emanating from her.

"Hui, you're finally alright! I missed you so much!" Kouta was so excited that he couldn't hold back his tears.

"Gengtai, Gengtai!" Hui called out in a soft, babbling voice.

"Do you know how much it hurt me when you were unconscious? I was so afraid you would never wake up again!"

"Kota, Kota!"

"How are you? Is there anything bothering you? Would you like some water?"

"Gengtai, Gengtai!" Hui continued to call out in her babbling voice.

At this moment, even the slow-witted Kouta noticed that something was wrong with Hui.

He released Hui, placed his hands on Hui's arms to stop her from moving around, and then began to observe her carefully.

Hui left the familiar, warm embrace, her beautiful face full of confusion. She wanted to get closer to Kouta, but she couldn't move because of Kouta's hand and kept struggling.

Kouta looked at Hui's strange expression and noticed her eyes. Her eyes, which were once bright and intelligent, were now blank and pure white, giving her a silly look.

He pointed to himself and asked Hui, "Hui, do you recognize me?"

"Gengtai, Gengtai!" Hui called out happily, waving her fair arms like a child wanting a hug.

"Hui, what's that?" Kouta asked, pointing to the television on the wall.

"Kota, Kota!"

"Hui, I'm not talking about myself, I'm asking what that big, square thing is?"

Hui stared blankly at the black TV screen, then looked at Kouta and exclaimed, "Kouta, Kouta!"

Kouta, undeterred, pointed to the curtains again and asked, "Hui, what's that blue thing?"

"Kota, Kota!"

"What is that rectangular thing that's soft on top and you can sit on?"

"Kota, Kota!"

"That thing that's transparent on top, where you can put things, and has four legs at the bottom..."

This time, Hui had learned to answer first, and she cheered joyfully, "Gengtai, Gengtai!"

Then, she looked at Kouta with expectant eyes, as if she wanted a reward.

Kota: "..."

Kouta knew perfectly well that this was more than just a matter of time.

This is an absolutely terrible thing!
