Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 578 Crisis 1(1)_1

At the dining table, Shangguan You earnestly served the congee she had made herself. Although it was simple, just white rice with some medicinal herbs, it was the only thing she could do for her family.

Simple as it was, it was filled with her heartfelt intentions. Over the past month, whatever her family had lost, she would help them regain, bit by bit. She would even help Grandpa’s white, thinning hair grow back, little by little.

Whatever her family had lost, she would recover it all for them, piece by piece.

The atmosphere at the dining table returned to its former warmth. Shangguan Zhi, who had been frowning for a month, finally relaxed. Shangguan Hao could also breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone relaxed. After breakfast, all the men of the Shangguan family insisted on accompanying Shangguan You, despite her repeated assurances that her body was completely fine. They were still not at ease and insisted she undergo a full physical check-up at the hospital.

Only when the results came out would the men of the Shangguan family be completely reassured.

At the military hospital, Shangguan You underwent another comprehensive examination. It wasn’t until the doctor repeatedly assured them that Shangguan You was in very good health and would not experience such fainting spells again that Shangguan Zhi nodded with satisfaction, his gloom of the past month swept away as he smiled at the hospital’s dean. Shangguan Hao was also satisfied.

No sooner had the news of Shangguan You’s awakening spread than the Shangguan family’s doorstep was nearly worn down by the stream of visitors. The Lin family, the Yu family, the Luo family, and even some noble families friendly with the Shangguan family came to visit one after another. Yu Zijin, Yu Zifeng, Zhang Yuchen, Gui Mo, Gui Luo, and others all gathered at the Shangguan family’s home.

Zhuge Feng, Bai Muxue, Fang Jianfei, Li Zhaolei, Han Yachu, Lan Xuan, and others from school also heard the news and came to the Shangguan family home to visit Shangguan You.

The living room was filled with people. The older generation gathered in the living room, while the younger ones congregated in Shangguan You’s bedroom. Fortunately, her room was large enough to accommodate so many people.

"Youyou, you’re awake," Zhuge Feng said excitedly, looking at the delicate Shangguan You before him and gazing at her gentle, smiling face. His hands trembled slightly as he raised them, wanting to get closer, to touch her face and feel her real presence. Yet, as he reached out, he hesitated and lowered his hand again. Zhuge Feng was afraid Youyou wouldn’t like it.

He wanted to hug Shangguan You, to feel that she had truly awakened, but Zhuge Feng hesitated once more. After the young lady had awakened this time, she had clearly changed. At first glance, she seemed unremarkable, but on closer inspection, she was radiant, exuding a compelling spiritual energy even more potent than before.

Just quietly watching her filled him with an inexplicable sense of warmth and intimacy, making him want to draw closer to her.

"I’m awake, thank you," Shangguan You nodded, a faint smile playing on her lips. Seeing Zhuge Feng look like he wanted to hug her but dared not, she chuckled, opened her arms, and gently wrapped them around him.

A faint scent of lotus drifted to him as a soft form gently settled into his embrace. Zhuge Feng’s face instantly turned crimson. A wave of excitement surged through him, and his arms tightened around Shangguan You.

His eyes grew misty. This feeling of a real embrace was so wonderful. She had truly awakened—truly awakened! She would no longer lie on that hospital bed, devoid of all vitality, unresponsive no matter what he said or did. Zhuge Feng lowered his head, trying to hide his awkwardness and prevent anyone from noticing his unusual state.

"I’m awake. Thank you, Zhuge Feng." Shangguan You allowed him to hug her excitedly, speaking softly from within his embrace, thanking him for everything he had done for her over the past month. She still remembered being in Zhuge Feng’s arms right before she lost consciousness.

Zhuge Feng was her first friend in this other world, and also the first person she had trusted since her rebirth.

"Ahem." Watching the two embrace, Shangguan Qing couldn’t help but cough lightly, a hint of coldness flashing through his usually gentle eyes. This kid, Zhuge Feng, really has some nerve, taking advantage of my girl!

"Youyou." Shangguan Qing’s light cough interrupted them. Shangguan You gently pushed Zhuge Feng away, a faint smile still on her face as she looked at Shangguan Qing.

Seeing Shangguan You leave his embrace, Zhuge Feng felt a pang of loss. However, he still couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart. Youyou hugged me first! It was me! I’m different from the others in her heart! This realization made it difficult for Zhuge Feng’s emotions to settle, and a silly grin even appeared on his face.

"Youyou, you heartless thing! Do you only have eyes for Zhuge Feng? Didn’t you see me?" Yu Zijin sounded incredibly plaintive. Shangguan You hadn’t hugged anyone else, only Zhuge Feng first—Heaven knew how she herself had gotten through this past month.

"Yu Zijin, who asked you not to be as quick as him? If you were the first one I saw, I definitely would have rushed over and hugged you first," Shangguan You said with a light smile, looking at Yu Zijin before her. She opened her arms, took a few steps forward, and gently wrapped them around Yu Zijin.

"Youyou, you heartless thing! This past month, I’ve been worried sick every day, afraid you wouldn’t wake up. The moment I heard you were awake, I rushed over. Who knew I’d still be a step too late, beaten by that kid Zhuge Feng! Hmph!" Yu Zijin said plaintively, shooting a resentful glare at Zhuge Feng.

"Aren’t I fine now? You don’t have to worry anymore." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Don’t you ever do this again! Otherwise, I, Yu Zijin, won’t have you as a friend anymore! Hmph!"

"Alright, alright," Shangguan You nodded. Whatever Yu Zijin says, goes. An angry woman is the hardest to deal with; I can only go along with what she says.

"Youyou, you really gave everyone a scare this time!" Gui Mo’s peach-blossom eyes flashed as he quickly squeezed to the front, pushed Yu Zijin aside, and pulled Shangguan You into his arms. His embrace was tight, his hands even trembling slightly. Inhaling her familiar scent, Gui Mo then looked at Shangguan You with a mournful expression.

"I’m sorry for making you all worry." Shangguan You gently pushed Gui Mo away, smiling at him. Gui Mo looked a bit tanner and more robust than before, and even had dark circles under his eyes. It seems Gui Mo really was worried about me, she thought.

"Youyou, is it my turn now?" A pair of smiling phoenix eyes appeared before Shangguan You. Yu Zifeng’s tall figure stood before her. Looking at the Shangguan You in front of him, he extended his long arms, gently drew her into his embrace, and his large hand even playfully ruffled her hair.
