On the other end, Mu Xingkai was waiting seriously for Gu Yinchen’s response.
But suddenly he heard a strange sound. Just as he was about to focus on distinguishing it, Gu Yinchen’s voice came through again, sounding somewhat restrained.
“There is indeed a symptom of very active mental power. What’s going on with her?”
“If I’m not mistaken, this should be a case of a second awakening of her mental power.”
“Second awakening of mental power?” Gu Yinchen responded, confused.
“I thought mental power awakens before the age of sixteen, and after that, it’s impossible to awaken again. Can mental power really awaken twice?”
“That’s correct,” Mu Xingkai confirmed.
“But there is a very special situation. If a person has a very high talent that allows them to awaken abilities, but due to some reason—such as a disease or external interference—their first awakening gets interrupted…” Mu Xingkai explained in detail.
“In this case, if the person has the chance to completely cure their disease—note that it must be completely cured, meaning even better than before—it could trigger a second mental power awakening.” Mu Xingkai paused for a moment.
“Because mental illness is already difficult to treat, and now it needs to be even better, under all these limitations, examples of this secondary awakening are extremely rare. As far as I know, there are only five cases. Compared to the several trillion interstellar population, this is incredibly small.”
“Alright,” Gu Yinchen interrupted him, “Save your long-winded speech. This isn’t the time for you to be sentimental. Just tell me what to do when encountering this situation.”
Mu Xingkai, whose excited explanation had been interrupted, dared not offer any more opinions. He was just relieved that his boss wasn’t here because of that troublemaker Mu Xingye.
“In this case, the process is similar to the first mental awakening. Do not intervene too much. The person involved must get through it on their own. And most importantly, do not let any external force interfere. Otherwise, not only will the abilities fail to awaken, but irreversible damage will be done to their mental power.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Mu Xingkai had just wanted to ask where the boss was, as he was also curious about this rare example, but the communication was cut off.
Gu Yinchen hadn’t anticipated this kind of situation. Looking at Lin Huanyan, who was suffering terribly in bed, he thought about the person he had called to bring the sculpture over.
He quickly sent a message telling them to stop coming and turn back, waiting for his further notice.
Right now, Lin Huanyan needed a completely safe place, and no one else should come over yet.
Gu Yinchen didn’t have Lin Huanyan’s voiceprint, so he couldn’t control the smart system with his voice. He had to go manually adjust the temperature a little lower to make Lin Huanyan, who was burning with fever, feel a bit more comfortable.
He sat quietly beside her bed, watching over her.
Perhaps due to the lowered temperature, Lin Huanyan, who had been tossing and turning non-stop, gradually became calmer and finally fell asleep, lying on her back.
Gu Yinchen knew that this was the calm period after the first wave of fever, and he looked at her still flushed face.
He went to the bathroom to get a towel, soaked it in cold water, and gently wiped her exposed skin.
Although Gu Yinchen usually lived quite roughly, after all, he was a young master, and this was his first time caring for someone.
His movements were a bit too strong, which made the sleeping Lin Huanyan groan in dissatisfaction. Then she rolled over to the side.
This startled Gu Yinchen, who quickly stepped forward, blocking the edge of the bed with his tall frame, and with his strong arms, he pulled Lin Huanyan back before she could fall.
This little troublemaker was truly fragile.
Gu Yinchen had to slow down his movements again, carefully wiping off her sweat to keep her from feeling even worse later.
This time, there were no more surprises. He quickly finished wiping her face and arms, leaving only her feet.
Gu Yinchen had only ever noticed how good-looking Lin Huanyan was, but he hadn’t realized that her feet were also so cute.
They were small and delicate, her toes tiny, and her skin like jade.
After gently wiping her feet, Gu Yinchen reluctantly let go. If he weren’t afraid of disturbing her, he would have played with them for a while.
The mental awakening period was long and difficult to endure.
Soon, another wave of heat came. Lin Huanyan, who had begun to cool down and restore her porcelain-white complexion, now became flushed again.
She struggled on the bed, unable to bear the discomfort, and Gu Yinchen couldn’t afford to relax, keeping vigil by her side.
Back and forth, she kept tossing and turning until late at night. Finally, Lin Huanyan settled down completely.
Gu Yinchen, who had been busy sweating beside her, also took a brief moment to rest.
He knew that she had completely passed the fever period.
Next was the reshaping phase, the most important and difficult part of the entire awakening process. It was the key to whether someone could successfully awaken their abilities, and it was the hardest phase to endure.
Watching Lin Huanyan, who had finally calmed down and was peacefully sleeping, Gu Yinchen steeled himself and reached out to gently shake her awake. This was the only time she was conscious, and she had to know about her condition now, or the upcoming reshaping and expansion phases would be even harder to bear.
Lin Huanyan felt like a pancake being cooked, flipped back and forth, feeling terribly uncomfortable.
Then, when she was finally able to settle down, she suddenly felt someone shaking her.
She ignored the person, but he just wouldn’t stop. Angrily, she slapped his hand away, but he didn’t give up.
Lin Huanyan, feeling extremely wronged, could only open her eyes.
Her bright, large eyes were filled with anger, and the first thing she saw upon waking was Gu Yinchen, that lying scoundrel.
She felt deeply aggrieved, and tears instantly flowed down her face, uncontrollably.
Gu Yinchen was also quite innocent. He knew that waking her up at this time was very difficult. He had shaken her for a long time, and even received a slap, before he finally got her to wake up.
But he didn’t expect that as soon as she opened her eyes and saw him, before he could react, her eyes quickly filled with mist, and tears poured down like beads on a broken string.
It completely shocked him. He quickly started to comfort her, flustered and helpless: “Yanyan, what’s wrong? Please don’t cry.”
When Lin Huanyan heard this, she felt even more wronged. “Didn’t you wake me up? I was just starting to feel better, and then you shook me awake. I didn’t want to wake up, but you kept shaking me. And now you ask me what’s wrong? You big idiot.”
“Alright, alright, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have shaken you without considering your will. But Yanyan, don’t you think you’re acting a bit strange right now?”
Lin Huanyan sobbed as she heard him apologize, which made her feel a bit better, but she was soon caught up in another question.
Strange? What’s strange? Oh, right, how did he end up in my room?
“Strange? Of course, it’s strange! How did you end up in my room?”
Her eyes widened as she stared at Gu Yinchen, hinting that he should quickly explain himself.
Gu Yinchen didn’t expect her to focus on that point after thinking for a while. He was a bit amused but helpless and had to continue asking, “Don’t you think your body feels a little off right now?”
Lin Huanyan honestly withdrew her gaze and thought for a moment. Indeed, she had been feeling quite unwell earlier.
If he’s here, he must know what’s wrong with me.
Lin Huanyan couldn’t help but ask, “It does feel strange. I’ve been feeling feverish and unwell. What’s happening to me?”
Seeing her finally get back on track, Gu Yinchen let out a sigh of relief. Taking advantage of her moment of clarity, he quickly began explaining her current condition.
Afraid she might not understand, he also shared his own experience of his mental power awakening and some tips on how to deal with it.
“So, here’s what happened. You’ve passed the first stage, but there are still two more stages. During this time, you’ll feel worse than before, but you have to hold on.”
“If you can’t handle it and don’t pass, the consequences will be severe, and at best, you’ll become a fool.”
Gu Yinchen noticed the fearful expression on Lin Huanyan’s face and quickly reassured her.
“But don’t worry, I’ll stay with you and ensure your safety. You don’t need to be scared.”
As he spoke, the man gently ruffled her hair, trying to comfort her.
This made Lin Huanyan feel even more guilty. He came to save her, but she had blamed him for barging into her room. She glanced at him with her big eyes, looking pitiful.
Gu Yinchen, feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, remembered something and stood up to pour her a glass of warm water.
“You’ve sweated a lot. You must be severely dehydrated. Drink some water, and if you want, I’ll get you a bottle of nutrient solution to help restore your energy.”
Lin Huanyan knew this wasn’t the time to be picky, so she obediently drank the water to replenish her energy. Then, Gu Yinchen tucked her into bed, telling her to get some rest.
Lying in the soft bed, hearing the sound of the man’s breathing beside her, Lin Huanyan felt an overwhelming sense of peace. Soon, she fell asleep.
Gu Yinchen stayed by her side, and once he heard her steady breathing and knew she had fallen asleep, he carefully reached out and moved her hair away from her face.
He gazed at her—her eyes, her nose, her mouth—his mind focused solely on her.
The two of them peacefully passed most of the night, but in the later hours…
Lin Huanyan suddenly started crying out in pain, clutching her head tightly, tossing and turning in bed.
Her mental power began to stir—different from the earlier heat stage where it was just mildly active, cautiously probing in her mind. Now, it was fully unleashed, swirling and dancing wildly around the room.
