Chapter 17: Li Er: Is this also part of the treatment?

Princess Changle experienced inexplicable emotions as Su Li shared a story with her.

Does he tell me a story? she wondered aloud.

Thats wonderful! she thought.

The days following her coma had been challenging and filled with bitterness for Changle. So, she was pleasantly surprised by Su Lis willingness to engage in extensive conversations with her, as if he was certain she could hear him.

After accepting the reality that she might be in this state for a long time, Princess Changle felt that the happiest thing was Su Lis sudden arrival in her life. He was willing to talk to her like a normal person, although she couldnt answer Su Li.

Su Li was unaware of Changles joyful response. In truth, he merely used storytelling as an excuse to keep Princess Changle by his side and earn more points within the system.

Deeply committed to help Princess Changles recovery, Su Li had resolved to purchase any beneficial item available in the system mall. Based on his past experiences, Su Li knew that the system mall would refresh its inventory approximately every ten days to half a month. He eagerly awaited the next refresh, hoping to find something valuable that could assist Princess Changle.

The cost of miraculous medicine and rare herbs might be high, but with Changle being a treasured individual, even if he couldnt afford it initially, he could permanently lock the product permissions using the system. It wouldnt be costly, typically only hundreds of thousands or a few million points. Su Li believed that with his utmost efforts, he could earn enough points within about a month.

Although, Su Li faced a dilemma. After Changle woke up, she would have to adjust to her unfamiliar husband and might find it difficult to immediately accept his excessive intimacy. It would be challenging for him to earn points daily while maintaining a justifiable distance in her eyes.

Therefore, Su Li had to seize the opportunity each day to accumulate more points. As  Princess Changle had not yet awakened, she had no means to resist their intimate interactions, despite the lingering strangeness in the air. Storytelling served multiple purposes for Su Liit provided psychological comfort to Princess Changle and potentially deepened her impressions and positive feelings toward her yet-to-be-met husband. This way, when Changle eventually awakened, there might already be a foundation of emotional connection.

Perhaps he would care for and accompany Princess Changle so attentively that she would yearn for his love upon awakening. The exact time when the comatose person regained consciousness was unknown, but it didnt dismiss the possibility that Princess Changles consciousness would remain active. Therefore, she could perceive Su Lis words and actions. As a result, when Princess Changle awakened, she would already possess a profound emotional connection with him. This could potentially enhance his ability to earn points and speed up the process of accumulating points.

Princess Changle felt a question mark emerging in her mind as she heard about The Fighting Continent. Despite her noble status and exposure to numerous books and stories, she had never come across this tale from Su Li. She wondered if Little Xiao Kaoru, a supposed genius, had experienced a decline in strength due to some unknown reason.

Su Li intended to share a serious story, initially planning to recount the tale of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. However, he realized that he only knew one name associated with that story. Considering the four famous novels, he realized he had a basic understanding of their overall content but was unsure where to begin. He believed that the essence lay in the details of character dialogues and their development.

On the other hand, the previous white paper story was easier for him to tell. It didnt require specific details but rather a grasp of the various plot points. Su Li decided to adapt the story for Princess Changle, replacing the male lead with a female one, considering her as a female audience.

Princess Changle had never been exposed to contemporary slang. She felt that Su Lis story was incredibly straightforward and easy to understand. In short, it was easily comprehensible without requiring much thought. However, it was quite captivating.

She heard that the main character, Xiao Kaoru, was being mocked by everyone due to an unexpected setback that caused her strength to decline. Fortunately, Xiao Kaoru had a childhood sweetheart named Xiao Yan, who always believed in her. But why did her fiance, Nalanran, come to visit? Does he come to break off the engagement?

Princess Changle had never encountered such straightforward emotions before. The sense of identification was immediate and intense.

What will Xiao Kaoru do? She can only accept this humiliation! She will surely seek revenge Princess Changle eagerly anticipated the continuation, but an unexpected visitor arrived in the courtyard.

Calling the visitor a guest might not be appropriate, as it was Li Er, Princess Changles father, who had come to visit. It wouldnt be accurate to call it an accident either, as a father visiting his daughter was a normal occurrence.

Your Majesty, I greet you! the maids saluted.

Su Li sat on the ground, cradling Princess Changle in his arms, making it difficult to salute. Li Er stared directly at Su Li. This wasnt their first encounter, but for Su Li, this meeting felt somewhat uncomfortable. After all, he was sitting there, earning points openly while holding someone elses daughter. Unfortunately, he couldnt put Princess Changle down now. There was no way to do so. It was evident that suspicion was clearly visible in his eyes despite the other partys calm expression.

Im narrating a story to the princess Su Li began.

Li Er remained silent and simply observed Su Li sitting on the ground with his daughter in his arms. He then glanced at the maid from the princesss residence, who was bowing nearby.

The son-in-law is indeed telling stories to the princess, the maid replied.

Is this also part of the treatment? Li Er asked after receiving the maids confirmation.

Although Princess Changle was already married to Su Li and Li Er made him his son-in-law. Even though Su Li held a legitimate position, it was ultimately for the sake of joy of Princess Changle. Also, it was justified.

In reality, Li Er never intended for Su Li to have any contact with his daughter, even if it was merely a nominal pleasure. Seeing his drowsy daughter being held in the arms of a commoner, Li Er felt a mix of complex emotions.

Perhaps Su Li pondered for a while before responding.

I have always believed that even though someone in a comatose state cannot be physically touched, they can still be awakened and experience normal sleep, Su Li said while looking at Princess Changle in his arms.

It should be reasonable to do some psychological construction for a conscious rather than unresponsive person, right?  Su Li asked.
