Love as a Weapon: A Tsundere Player in a Transmigration Game

48. Doctor, Can You Cure My Insomnia? (16)

Translator: Annsmiley

Thanks to the medicine that Nan Yu bought according to the prescription given by the system, Wei Zeyan was getting a lot better, but whenever the night fell, he would have nightmares. This reminded Nan Yu of the accident which Wei Yuanxiu told him about and which caused Wei Zeyan to suffer from insomnia in the first place.

Nan Yu went to see Wei Yuanxiu while Wei Zeyan was not around.

“Yuanxiu,” Nan Yu called out to Wei Yuanxiu who was about to go out.

“Xiao Nan, what is the matter?” Wei Yuanxiu stopped and looked at Nan Yu.

Nan Yu nodded, “Mmm, I want to talk to you about Zeyan’s condition.”

Wei Yuanxiu pointed to the chair beside him and signaled for Nan Yu to sit down.

“Ask whatever you want. I will tell you whatever I know.”

“I want to know everything about the accident thart happened to Wei Zeyan that year,” Nan Yu said.

Although the system had shown him all the information that he needed to know, Nan Yu felt that it was too objective. Only by asking people about it could he find out about the feelings involved and sort them out. And then he would be able to figure out a way to cure Wei Zeyan.

But it would be appropriate if he suddenly asked Wei Zeyan about it, so he could only try to understand what had happened back then through Wei Yuanxiu.

This way, the moment he found out about the problem, he could hypnotize Wei Zeyan and slowly eliminate what he was afraid of in his dreams. Only then could Wei Zeyan be completely cured.

“It is… a long story.”

“When Xiao Yan was nine years old, he and his parents went out happily to have dinner on his birthday, but they got into an accident on their way there. He watched his parents die, my poor grandson…”

As he said that, Wei Yuanxiu’s eyes became red. “He was stuck in the car with his parents for a few hours, and when he was taken back home, he acted as if he were possessed. He didn’t say anything, he didn’t cry or make a fuss. At night, he suddenly became irritable. He didn’t sleep, and he just stared at nothing with his eyes wide open, which scared everyone.”

When Wei Yuanxiu talked about it, not only did Wei Yuanxiu feel sorry for Wei Zeyan, Nan Yu also felt very sorry for him. He frowned and looked a little gloomy.

“Other than that, was there anything abnormal?” Nan Yu asked.

Wei Yuanxiu wiped his tears and said, “When Xiao Yan was a kid, he was smarter than his peers. There was a period of time when the servants heard him muttering, saying that he killed his parents as he didn’t notice that someone had done something to the car.”

“Didn’t the police investigate the accident?”

“They did, but when they got there, the evidence had already been destroyed. They also knew that someone had done something to the car and investigated it for a few months, but they found nothing. So they closed the case, claiming that it was just an accident. I should also take some blame for it, as I was abroad during that period of time, so I wasn’t there for my grandson. Poor Xiao Yan!”

Speaking of what had happened back then, Wei Yuanxiu was regretful.

“If I had come back in time, Xiao Yan’s condition wouldn’t have become so serious!”

“Yuanxiu, stop blaming yourself. It’s all in the past now. Yanze is getting better and better. Everything will be okay,” Nan Yu comforted Wei Yuanxiu.

Wei Yuanxiu looked at Nan Yu. “Xiao Nan, I’m old and anytime soon I’ll kick the bucket. When that day comes, Xiao Yan will be all alone. And that really worries me. I know Xiao Yan likes you. I can tell from the way he looks at you.”

Feeling a little embarrassed, Nan Yu didn’t know what to say. After all, he didn’t know what Wei Yuanxiu’s attitude toward same-sex relationships was. If he wanted to complete the task, it was necessary for him to transform Wei Zeyan. So if Wei Yuanxiu told him to leave now, Nan Yu wouldn’t be able to do so.

“I’m not a bigoted man. Instead, I’m more open-minded that you think I am. I can tell that you also have feelings for my grandson, and that you have your own concerns about it. Though I don’t know what your concerns are, I hope that you’ll help me look after him after I pass away. You’re the only person I trust! ”

When he said that, Wei Yuanxiu held Nan Yu’s hand.

Nan Yu could see the traces of time on those hands which were covered with wrinkles and which contained the old man’s expectations.

“Yuanxiu, I…” Nan Yu also felt the old man’s expectations and did not know how to answer.

He came to this world only to fulfill a task, and when his mission was completed, he could leave at any time. The expectations in Wei Yuanxiu’s eyes were too high, and he couldn’t find himself making that promise.

Wei Yuanxiu saw that Nan Yu was hesitant. “Xiao Nan, don’t feel burdened with it. If you’re unwilling, just say no. You don’t have to feel compelled to say yes just because I’m old. Don’t worry.”

“I… Yuanxiu, I will do it.”

Facing Wei Yuanxiu, Nan Yu couldn’t find himself reasons to refuse, so he agreed.

Hearing that Nan Yu agreed, Wei Yuanxiu smiled. ”Thanks, Xiao Nan! I am really grateful!”

“Yuanxiu…”

Feeling a little complicated, Nan Yu said no more.

He felt that it had become not just a mission to him. This world seemed to have grown on him. And he felt differently towards the people, the things, and the events in this world.

“Still calling me Yuanxiu? Call me Grandpa…” Wei Yuanxiu touched his white beard. He didn’t look sad anymore. Instead, kindness was written all over his aging face.

Wei Yuanxiu seemed to have been looking forward to Nan Yu calling him grandpa ever since the first time they met. Perhaps it was because he was old and he longed for more family love. And, Nan Yu was able to help his grandson Wei Zeyan, which was probably the best thing that could ever have happened to him now.

Nan Yu looked at Wei Yuanxiu and couldn’t find it in himself to refuse. He said seriously, “Grandpa.”

Wei Yuanxiu smiled happily, “Good boy!”
