Since the day the wedding canopy collapsed, Song Jingyun has been in a continuous coma. The doctor visited twice and concluded that there was little hope, advising to prepare for the worst.
Due to this accident, she, a 996 office worker who was killed by falling debris on her way to work, smoothly crossed over into the body of the original owner. However, Song Jingyun was on the verge of losing his life, and Jiang Mixia couldn’t help but feel that he was somehow affected by this incident.
Moreover, Song Jingyun was only fifteen years old, a year younger than the original owner who was sixteen. In modern times, he would have been a teenager just starting high school.
To tragically pass away at such a young age was truly pitiable.
Feeling a wave of sorrow, Jiang Mixia brought a bowl of warm water, intending to offer him some water and food. During Song Jingyun’s last few days, she planned to take good care of him.
It was her way of fulfilling her duties as a wife.
But before Jiang Mixia could bring the spoon to his lips, Song Jingyun, who had been lying down, suddenly sat up.
Goodness!
Jiang Mixia was startled, leaping up from the bedside, almost dropping the spoon.
After calming herself, she gathered the courage to ask, “Are you… awake?”
Or was this just a brief recovery?
Upon hearing Jiang Mixia’s voice, Song Jingyun turned to look at her. “Who are you?”
Then, after looking around, he asked, “What planet is this?”
Planet?
Jiang Mixia was instantly intrigued.
This… was getting interesting!
Setting down the bowl, Jiang Mixia pulled over a stool, cleared her throat, and said, “This might be a complex issue to explain, but I believe if I explain it slowly and you listen carefully, you should be able to understand.”
“However, before explaining why you are here, I’d like to ask you a few questions…”
After a brief conversation, Jiang Mixia roughly understood Song Jingyun’s background.
He is from the planet Aita V2 in the peaceful star system, responsible for piloting spacecraft to roam around the nearby nebulae to collect energy entities to maintain the normal operation of the planet. However, a sudden asteroid impact caused the spacecraft to explode. This explosion was the reason for Song Jingyun’s crossover. However, unlike Jiang Mixia, he did not receive any memories related to the original owner, Song Jingyun.
I see.
Jiang Mixia roughly understood the situation and had a slight idea of what was going on.
She then took about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to explain Song Jingyun’s current situation.
Crossing over, the Great Chu Nation, Xingtai County, Jiang Family Village, Song Jingyun, the son-in-law…
After muttering these words for a while, Song Jingyun suddenly clutched his stomach, his brow furrowing.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Mixia asked, concerned.
“I don’t know.” Song Jingyun shook his head, his voice weak. “My stomach feels really uncomfortable, like it’s being torn apart from the inside.”
“Stomach ache?”
Song Jingyun was hit on the head by the collapsed wedding canopy, so if he was in pain, it would most likely be a headache. However, Jiang Mixia soon heard a loud “gurgling” sound.
Alright, she had an idea of the cause.
Jiang Mixia lifted the bowl and spooned some cornmeal porridge. “It’s not stomach discomfort, you’re hungry. Eating something will make you feel better.”
“Here, open your mouth.”
Faced with Jiang Mixia holding what looked like a long-handled object with a viscous, orange-yellow liquid inside, about to feed him…
Song Jingyun strongly resisted internally, shaking his head vigorously. “What’s this?”
“Cornmeal porridge, it’s for eating… um, it’s food,” Jiang Mixia explained. Seeing Song Jingyun’s strong resistance and skepticism, she asked, “Could it be that you don’t need to eat food in space?”
“No, we don’t.”
“How do you survive then?”
“We absorb energy from energy entities.”
Jiang Mixia: “…”
Fascinating!
Meanwhile, Song Jingyun, with a deeply furrowed brow, was looking at the cornmeal porridge in front of him. He really didn’t want to open his mouth.
But his stomach was very uncomfortable.
Moreover, the person in front of him, although not from his time, seemed very friendly, despite being another person who had crossed over…
Taking a deep breath, Song Jingyun closed his eyes and swallowed the food.
The taste of the cornmeal porridge spread in his mouth.
It wasn’t as unpleasant as he had imagined, and it carried a subtle and indescribable sensation. He couldn’t say he liked it, but he definitely didn’t dislike it.
Instinctively, Song Jingyun swallowed the cornmeal porridge and then said, “Ah…”
Jiang Mixia: “…”
Suddenly, she felt like she was feeding a baby.
However, considering that Song Jingyun was completely unaware of this world, in terms of awareness, he was indeed almost like a baby and would need to be taught slowly.
For instance, teaching him how to eat.
After feeding him a few more spoonfuls of cornmeal porridge, Jiang Mixia handed the spoon to Song Jingyun. “Why don’t you try eating by yourself?”
Song Jingyun hesitated for a moment, then took the spoon. “Okay.”
Recalling Jiang Mixia’s earlier actions, Song Jingyun awkwardly scooped up some of the golden cornmeal porridge and brought it to his mouth.
His movements were clumsy, and he spilled some. However, after a few attempts, he became more proficient. Although his actions seemed a bit stiff, he managed to eat the porridge normally.
Soon, Song Jingyun held an empty bowl, looking expectantly at Jiang Mixia.
It was clear he hadn’t eaten enough.
“I’ll get you some more,” Jiang Mixia took the empty bowl and left the room.
“How is Jingyun doing?” Liu Shi asked. “Was he able to drink the water?”
“He woke up,” Jiang Mixia replied, “and he ate half a bowl of porridge.”
“He woke up?” Jiang Youcheng and his wife were immediately overjoyed.
“Thank goodness, he has finally woken up,” Liu Shi said excitedly, almost in tears.
“Now that he’s awake, let’s go in and see him,” Jiang Youcheng suggested.
“Perhaps it’s better not to. Although he’s awake, it feels like he’s injured here.” Jiang Mixia pointed to her head. “I’m afraid that if you both go in, it might startle him again with too many people.”
“Is he simple-minded?” The joy on Jiang Youcheng and Liu Shi’s faces instantly diminished by half.
“He’s not particularly simple-minded. He can talk, but he doesn’t know who he is, and he doesn’t recognize many things or know how to do things,” Jiang Mixia explained. “But with some patient teaching, I think he can learn. I just taught him for a while, and now he can eat by himself.”
Jiang Youcheng and Liu Shi sighed.
After a while, Jiang Youcheng spoke up, “As long as he’s awake, being a little slow isn’t a big deal. We can teach him slowly.”
As long as he was a whole person, he could help Jiang Mixia with the work in the future.
“I think the same. We’ll teach him slowly,” Jiang Mixia said. “But since the doctor said he wouldn’t make it before, and now that he’s awake, we should still have the doctor come and check on him to make sure there aren’t any lasting issues from his injury.”
“Yes, that’s true. I’ll go to Dayangshu Village to get the doctor,” Jiang Youcheng finished the last spoonful of cornmeal porridge and quickly left the house.
