Transmigrated Into The Book

"Xianyu?"

"Xianyu, wake up!"

Xianyu blinked and opened his eyes widely. He sprang up from Yuan's lap. The sweats from his forehead drip down on his cheeks. He gasped and looked around, he uttered, "What happened?"

Yuan brushed his head, "We've arrived,"

Xianyu saw a pier in front of his eyes, the boatman smiled at him while tying the boat around the post. Yuan stood up and reached his hand, "Let's go, everyone is waiting for us,"

Dumbfounded, Xianyu followed Yuan quickly. He saw Sun Wei and Rouhan and Qi Zhou walking in front of them.

As they roamed around, they saw different things and faces of the people living there. The place wasn't that big, it was a small town. The town people are kind as they all welcomed them with free fruits and foods.

Their boatman guided them to an Inn. It was reserved for them so they didn't need to pay for their belongings and stuff because Yi Lin already took care of it. After reaching the Inn and taking a rest, Xianyu pulled Rouhan somewhere outside.

"It was my father!"

Rouhan gazed at him with confusion, "That mysterious man is your father?"

"When I was young, my father vanished without any trace, my mother tried to report it to the police but after years and years of waiting, we couldn't find any results," Xianyu stated. "Some of the policemen didn't believe my mother because she said that my father vanished inside our library," 

"So you're trying to say that your father already got the book?" Rouhan was also dumbfounded.

"I don't know, my father also picked that book accidentally, but I don't why he's here," Xianyu lowered his head. After meeting his father in this situation, he didn't know what to react or what to feel. Is he really helping him or did he have other motives?

"What are you planning to do?" Rouhan asked.

"I will go back with him, I will go back with Yuan, we can continue what was left in the past, we can steal a second chance in the future," Xianyu was determined to revert everything. In his surprise Rouhan grabbed his collar, "Are you out of your mind?!" he exclaimed.

"I don't have anything to do! This is the only way," Xianyu yanked away and gritted his teeth, "If I needed to give my soul for that curse then I would do it! My father didn't have any interest in my soul anyway,"

***

"Worthless!!!"

The table cracked and the things on it scattered on the floor. The servants trembled to their feet, scared to be beheaded. Hearing the emperor scream in anger is enough to bring shivers to their bodies.

"You are all worthless! I ordered you to find only one person, just one person! And yet you couldn't even find a trace?!" Huanxue yelled from his lungs. Because of his anger, he drew his sword and was about to slice them when one of the servants spoke.

"Your highness! Please forgive us, my lord," he pleaded with his face touching the floor. With his trembling voice, he exclaimed. "My lord, please give us another chance," he begged. The other servants kneeled and asked for forgiveness.

Huanxue was not in the right mood since morning. He needed to capture Yuan before the full moon or else his wish to conquer the world would not be fulfilled.

He took a deep breath. The ceases on his forehead vanished. "If you haven't presented him to me tomorrow, I will end your life myself" Huanxue turned around. "Leave!!"

The servants bowed their heads almost three times, cherishing the last hours given to them. 

As they headed outside, they bumped into the second prince. Yi Lin looked at them as they bowed their heads to show respect.

Yi Lin stepped inside, he saw his father with a very irritating expression. He bowed and asked, "What makes you show that expression, father?"

Huanxue took his pipe and smoked, "That bunch of worthless lowlives couldn't even trace that demon!" He cursed.

Yi Lin shakes his head, "What are you going to do? Do you think you could kill cousin brother just like that?" He grinned. "You already killed his father, now you want to kill his son? Stop daydrea----" he was stopped when one of the shelves flew towards him. 

Since it passed by him, Yi Lin dodged it quickly. But the walls got whacked and the books from the shelves torn to pieces. 

"Are you threatening me? I'm not even scared of you" Yi Lin smirked.

"I did all of that for you, and yet you have the guts to say those things to me, Yi Lin!!" With his raging voice, the veins on his forehead cracked from anger.

"You are insane,father,"

Yi Lin bent down and picked up one book, "Look at yourself, you are like a torn book trying to gather itself back,"

"Enough!" Huanxue screamed from anger. Gritting his jaw, he slammed his hands on the walls. "You will never become a righteous emperor if you are always using your heart! Sometimes you need to be selfish, Yi Lin!" 

Hearing this, Yi Lin turned silent. He lowered his head. It is true that because of the late emperor's kindness, Yinzhao, it caused his death, but isn't it unfair? 

"You are brothers," Yi Lin uttered. "You should be helping each other to grow and yet you choose to kill your own brother!!!" For the first time, Yi Lin released this glowing aura around him. 

The things around the room float. The walls started to crack and the floors broke into two. In the wrath of his anger, he cried.

Yi Lin loved Yuan very much, they grew up together. It's still painful for him to watch his cousin brother suffer until now.

"Using power to submit to others? Is this what you want me to do?!" After Yi Lin said this, Huanxue fell down on his knees. Clenching his chest like there's no air passing through his lungs anymore.

Yes, he was powerful, but Yi Lin is more powerful than him. It was like, it's making him submit.

***

In the middle of the night when everybody was already asleep, Yuan woke up. He slowly stood up from the bed.

He went to Xianyu's side. He observed the sleeping male peacefully. Yuan caressed his hair and gave him a peck on his forehead. 

"Xianyu, I know I may sound selfish, but I don't want anyone to be involved in this...I'm sorry if I lied to you again." 

After saying this, Yuan opened his palm then a blue light like a ball glowed. It reflected something like a starry night in the midnight sky.

"I want to return this to you," 

Yuan pressed the glowing light onto Xianyu's chest. "Sorry for not telling you that I'm the one holding your soul," he whispered.

Xianyu groaned, feeling something pressing on his system. He squinted his eyes and tried to wake up, but he couldn't. His eyes were pulling him to deep slumber while his thoughts wanted to say something.

Meanwhile, Yuan continued to pass his soul into his body. The truth is, he didn't  want to let go of Xianyu. He wanted the male to remain in the past with him.

He's willing to sacrifice himself. He understands that Xianyu's father wanted to save him.

"I am not worthy of your love, Chen Yang…" Yuan uttered. "Let's meet again,"

***

The white ceiling and the pungent smell of disinfectant mixing with the aircon fresher invaded his nostrils.

The beeping sounds of the machine and apparatus started to ring slowly in his ears.

The woman wearing simple clothing laying her head beside the bed widened her eyes. She trembled at first, but managed to calm down after a few minutes.

In her excitement, she quickly stood up and pressed the bell above the bedhead. 

In an instant, the doctor and nurses came inside.

"Doctor! He's awake!!"

"Please calm down, we will going to check him,"

The woman couldn't help but cry between happiness and shock. Finally, the day she was waiting for already came.

One of the nurses brushed her back to give comfort while she was crying real hard. It must be so hard for her

Waiting almost 5 years.

She didn't lose hope, she waited patiently even though it was only the machines who's making her son alive.

"Ma'am, please calm down, don't worry we are checking the patient's vital signs." One of the nurses who was comforting her a while ago said.

She couldn't help it. The moment she saw her son blinking his eyes, she couldn't help the joy and happiness. 

She didn't wait anymore. She stepped towards the bed and watched the doctor do his job. She observed her son's pale face and weak being. After 5 years it must be hard for him to even utter a word.

"Yang, I'm here…" she mumbled, holding the male's hand. "I've been waiting for you," she started to cry again.

"Ma'am, the patient is now fully awake, he will be monitored every now and then, he still can't talk, but he responds quickly," the doctor stated after waving his fingers in front of the man lying in bed.

"Please take care of him, doctor," the woman pleaded. 

"We will serve him soft foods for now, he still needs to recover so rest assured" the doctor replied.
