I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 221 Reunion

Sang Yan came every three days, so he had no motive to take Qiaoqiao away. But still clutching at hope, Zong Fang immediately called Sang Yan, only to find out he was in town and hadn’t been over at all.

His hand fell limply, his eyes filled with panic and tension, his heart so anxious that his stomach knotted up.

Who else, who else could it be?

Was it Zong Yan? Had he deliberately made him leave to meet him just to steal Qiaoqiao’s body?

Thinking of this possibility, Zong Fang turned and dashed out, but upon seeing a slender figure near the cliff, he froze in place.

Zong Fang’s gaze locked onto her, his breath stopped for a moment, fearful that this was merely an illusion, afraid that she would disappear again if he got closer.

His heart pounded in his ears like thunderous drums, unbelieving of his own eyes, his lips parted slightly, but no sound came out.

He feared this was Qiaoqiao’s spirit and didn’t dare call out to her, afraid he might startle her away.

The sound of waves crashing against rocks rhythmically resounded in the surroundings.

Zong Fang slowly lifted his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly in the air, as if testing the reality of her existence. Each step he took felt like walking on the edge of a knife, his footsteps heavy and slow, with fear and hope twisted together inside him, his nerves stretched to breaking.

Suddenly, the person in front of him turned her head slightly, the sea breeze lifting her long hair, and the evening glow interwoven with the afterglow fell on her, coating her in a layer of gentle light.

Qiao Suisui was first startled, then broke into a tearful smile, calling out, "Zong Fang."

The familiar voice dropped like a boulder into his heart’s lake, rippling outwards.

Zong Fang’s heart trembled violently, tears instantly welling up in his eyes. It felt as if something was lodged in his throat, preventing any sound from escaping, he could only nod vigorously, his eyes reflecting complex tenderness and disbelief.

"Qiaoqiao..."

At last, he choked out her name, his voice laden with long-suppressed pain and joy.

Qiao Suisui’s smile deepened, she turned to approach him, but in the next second, she was embraced tightly by the man who rushed over.

Zong Fang could no longer control himself, as if he wanted to embed her into his body. In that moment, he felt her warmth and softness, the real touch slowly dispelling the fear in his heart, replaced by the ecstasy of having found what was once lost.

"You really woke up, this isn’t an illusion, right..." Zong Fang’s voice trembled, filled with unrestrainable excitement and joy. He buried his head in her shoulder, feeling her breath, tears silently sliding down.

Qiao Suisui gently patted his back, her voice tender yet firm, "I’m back." Each of her words seemed to soothe, healing the wounds and unease in his heart.

They held each other tightly, as if time had stopped in that moment. Everything around them blurred into insignificance, only their heartbeats and warmth were real.

Sea breeze gently brushed, sunset glow reflected, and up on the Sky Cliff, it seemed as if they were the only two left in the world.

Qiao Suisui was brought into a glass room by Zong Fang; she thought she was back in the Crystal Coffin’s greenhouse, but instead, Zong Fang brought her into another room, unwilling to let her lie in the Crystal Coffin again. He explained that it was Sang Yan’s room and that Sang Yan occasionally stayed overnight when he came.

Qiao Suisui nodded and asked, "Is everyone doing well? Why am I not in the Imperial Court but here?"

Zong Fang was kneeling on one knee, inspecting her feet for any scrapes from stones, and when he heard Qiao Suisui’s question, he lowered his head to mask his expression, softly replying, "Mm, everyone is fine."

He fell silent for a moment, then looked up, eyes tender, "Want to go back?"

"I just find it strange, but it’s no matter; we can return together when Ruka comes," she said.

Zong Fang’s back stiffened, his smile froze for an instant, unable to tell her the truth.

"You like the Freedom Alliance, right? We can stay and enjoy ourselves here for a while."

Qiao Suisui found Zong Fang’s attitude a bit strange and was about to ask when she heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching. Turning her head, it was Sang Yan, gasping for air.

Sang Yan looked at her in disbelief, his excitement rendering him incoherent.

"Suisui... you’re not... No, the Beast God heard my prayers... I..."

Qiao Suisui couldn’t help but laugh, knowing that this time she had really worried them, and they all carefully avoided mentioning ’death’, so she consoled them, "I’m fine."

Sang Yan’s eyes reddened, and he quickly turned to wipe away his tears before facing her again with a broad smile, repeatedly saying that it was good that she was fine.

Despite his swift attempt to hide it, Qiao Suisui still caught a glimpse of the fleeting sadness and heartache on his face, and felt somewhat guilty.

Zong Fang had been watching her all along, and of course, noticed her emotions, so he stroked her hair and said, "We all know that you just love to sleep, and didn’t take it seriously."

Qiao Suisui wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head in Zong Fang’s neck, whispering, "I worried you."

Zong Fang tenderly embraced her, kissing her forehead and earlobes, and whispered in her ear, "Thank you."

Thank you for waking up.

Thank you for not leaving me behind.

Thank you for giving me a reason to live on.

Afterward, the two men quickly discussed and decided to take Qiao Suisui back to the Capital to get a thorough check-up for peace of mind, and also because the hustle and bustle of the Capital might attract her attention and give her a temporary respite before they told her about Ruka.

But Qiao Suisui had no interest in exploring the local customs of the Capital. Every day she would ask when Ruka, Ash, and Carl would come, but there was always a hint of evasion in Sang Yan’s and Zong Fang’s attitudes.

Zong Fang had not closed his eyes since she woke up.

He would hold her until she fell asleep, then check her breathing every hour and make sure her body temperature was normal.

Qiao Suisui would often wake up to find him tenderly stroking the broken hair by her ear, his eyes always devoid of sleepiness.

A few days later, Qiao Suisui realized that no matter how much she asked Zong Fang and Sang Yan, she wouldn’t get an answer, so she planned to go to Ruins Eye to find Lanze.

Upon hearing this, Zong Fang and Sang Yan exchanged a look.

"Suisui, Lanze has been missing for several years..." Sang Yan said carefully.

Qiao Suisui was taken aback. She had been meticulously cared for by Zong Fang since waking up, had not communicated with others, and they had not given her a Light Computer. Hearing this about time, she asked belatedly, "How long have I slept?"

Zong Fang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Thirteen years and sixty-one days."

Sang Yan looked at him disapprovingly.

Knowing Suisui’s intelligence, telling her the time would inevitably lead her to ask about the events that transpired during that period.

Zong Fang took a breath, took her hand, and slowly said, "Qiaoqiao, you need to be prepared for what I’m about to tell you. We didn’t dare to tell you sooner because you had just woken up, and we wanted to wait until your body was more stable."

Qiao Suisui tensed up for a moment, a bad feeling seeping into her heart. She wasn’t oblivious to the psychological preparation Zong Fang and Sang Yan had been administering these past few days, but now that the moment had arrived, she felt nervous.

She exhaled, her eyes resolute, and said, "Don’t worry, whatever it is, I’ll be fine."

Both men felt somewhat relieved hearing her say this.

Zong Fang deliberated for a long while before starting with the least grave issue, "Carl is currently in federal prison, but don’t worry, Zong Yan has promised not to mistreat him. In fact, it might be for the best because he..."

"What happened to Carl?"

Sang Yan crouched in front of her, hesitated for a moment, but still said, "He became addicted to hallucinogens and refused to quit. They are actually helping him to forcibly rehabilitate."
