ASTRP -Chapter 148 Feng Jingge Finally Shows Signs of Awakening

Feng Jingge’s index finger twitched slightly.

Xiao Jinghan quickly said again, “Then Jingge, can you move two fingers at the same time?”

Two fingers?

Feng Jingge frowned.

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Jinghan immediately added nervously, “Is it hard to move two fingers? If it’s difficult, then don’t force it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Jingge moved both her thumb and index finger together.

Seeing both fingers move at once, Xiao Jinghan was now completely certain—Feng Jingge could really hear him.

Overwhelmed with excitement, he began blurting everything out without restraint.

Even the dream he had mentioned earlier slipped out.

Feng Jingge’s ears were practically going numb from all the talking.

In her mind, she cursed Xiao Jinghan—could he stop talking nonsense already? Could he go eat or bathe or something? Why was he just standing there rambling nonsense at her?

Time passed quickly.

Qing Shan saw the imperial tutor off and returned. Seeing Zhi Liao still standing at the door, he frowned and stepped forward.

“Has the Prince come out yet?”

Zhi Liao shook his head.

Qing Shan’s heart sank instantly.

He stared at the tightly shut study door, brows furrowed deeply, and muttered, “Looks like even the imperial tutor’s words didn’t help…”

Zhi Liao moved his lips, clearly wanting to speak.

“Qing Shan.”

Xiao Jinghan’s voice suddenly came from inside the room.

Zhi Liao froze and instinctively looked at Qing Shan.

Qing Shan was stunned. He pointed at himself, silently asking Zhi Liao if he had just been called.

After Zhi Liao nodded, confirming it wasn’t his imagination, Qing Shan was overjoyed.

He quickly responded, “This subordinate is here! What are your orders, Your Highness?”

“Come in.”

Xiao Jinghan’s cold voice replied.

Qing Shan immediately pushed the door open and entered. The moment his eyes landed on Xiao Jinghan—

“Help me up,” Xiao Jinghan said.

Hearing that the Prince wanted to get up, Qing Shan was instantly excited. He hurried forward and supported him.

Carefully, he helped Xiao Jinghan around the lotus lanterns and guided him to the grand chair.

Once seated, Xiao Jinghan immediately collapsed into it.

Qing Shan was startled and quickly asked, “Your Highness, should we call the physician?”

Before Xiao Jinghan could respond, an old voice rang out.

“Instead of calling a doctor, you’d be better off getting him a bowl of porridge from the kitchen.”

“Your prince hasn’t eaten for days and nights—how could he possibly have strength?”

Qing Shan turned around and saw the old man walking in.

He quickly asked Xiao Jinghan again, “Your Highness, shall I bring you some porridge?”

“Mm,” Xiao Jinghan replied.

Qing Shan hurried off.

The old man glanced at Xiao Jinghan, then walked to Feng Jingge’s side and checked her pulse.

Normal.

He released her hand and stood up, turning to Xiao Jinghan. “What, have you finally figured it out?”

Xiao Jinghan glanced at him coldly. “No.”

“No?” The old man raised a brow. “With your personality, if you hadn’t figured it out, you’d still be starving yourself.”

“Now you’re eating—doesn’t that mean you’ve come to terms with it?”

Xiao Jinghan ignored the question and said directly, “Just now Jingge’s hand moved. I asked her questions, and she responded through movement.”

“She can sense the outside world, but she cannot wake up.”

“What exactly is going on?”

The old man was momentarily speechless.

Xiao Jinghan pressed again, “Hmm?”

Cornered, the old man finally sighed.

“Alright, I’ll tell you the truth.”

“I’ve never encountered a situation like yours two before.”

“You already know Feng girl’s identity—she is an otherworldly soul.”

“An otherworldly soul entering another body is already unimaginable. The two of you even swapped bodies—it’s practically a rarity among rarities.”

“I can swear to you, throughout history, this is likely the only case…”

The old man rambled on for a long time, but Xiao Jinghan didn’t hear a single word clearly.

He only cared about one thing.

“When will she wake up?”

“Nothing else matters.”

“I only want to know—she can move her hands and sense the outside world. How long until she fully wakes up from this stage?”

The old man paused for a moment, then said:

“Half a month.”

“Good.”

Xiao Jinghan answered immediately.

This straightforward reply left the old man confused.

Normally, hearing “half a month,” shouldn’t he be questioning it, doubting it, or worrying what if she doesn’t wake up?

Why did he just accept it so easily?

Before he could ask, Xiao Jinghan spoke first.

“Go call Su Xiu. I have something to say to him.”

The old man left.

Soon after, Qing Shan returned with porridge.

“Your Highness, should I feed you?”

“….”

Feed him?

Was he crippled?

Xiao Jinghan’s face darkened. “No need.”

He took the bowl himself. “Prepare hot water. I’ll bathe after eating.”

“Yes.”

Before leaving the study, Xiao Jinghan went to Feng Jingge’s side and said a few more words.

Only then did he finally leave.

When the door closed, the room instantly fell silent.

Without Xiao Jinghan’s constant chatter, Feng Jingge suddenly felt uncomfortable.

A faint sense of loneliness and emptiness rose in her heart.

It felt as if… she was the only person left in the world.

She sighed softly.

A sigh echoed in the quiet room.

Feng Jingge froze.

She was alone in the room—where did the sigh come from?

Wait—

Her mind suddenly exploded with realization.

That voice… was hers?

To confirm, she coughed lightly.

Sure enough, a cough echoed in the room.

Then she tried calling Xiao Jinghan.

When she finally spoke, her throat was dry and painful, her voice hoarse and broken:

“Xiao… Jing… han.”

The three words were forced out of her throat.

The last syllable left her face flushed red, as if all her strength had been drained.

But even though it was difficult, it was still progress.

At least she wasn’t lying there like a vegetative body anymore.

Time passed again.

Feng Jingge felt a bit of strength return and tried to sit up.

She focused her thoughts, gathered her strength—

And suddenly, she sat upright.

The blurry world before her gradually became clear.

She could blink again. Move her head.

Her hands and feet could also make slight movements.
