"What did Xiao Ruilang tell you?" Ji Shiting hugged her and asked.
Ye Shengge closed her eyes and felt weak, but she still answered, "He said he'd seen me before … and he said he wanted to thank me."
Ji Shiting's eyes dimmed.
With Xiao Ruilang's unreasonable personality, it was impossible for him to interact with the innocent Ye Shengge, nor would he be grateful to her.
Unless … it was really as Gu Yimo had guessed.
Had Xiao Ruilang guessed something, which was why he had drugged her?
"Mm." After a while, he stroked her sweaty hair and said, "I got it. Go to sleep."
Ye Shengge blinked, feeling even more bitter.
It was really different. If it had been before, he would have ordered her to stop talking to Xiao Ruilang.
She would rather he be the same as before. Even if his overbearing and unreasonable behavior had made her suffer a lot, at least … it would make her feel that she was important to him.
Ye Shengge suddenly felt exhausted. She closed her eyes and didn't say anything. It looked like she was asleep.
Ji Shiting looked at her sleeping face, and his eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
Since she didn't remember everything that had happened before she was nine years old, then … he hoped she would be lucky enough to never remember it.
…
Ji Shiting woke up in the middle of the night.
He had always been very alert. Even in his sleep, he would wake up immediately if there was any movement outside. However, there was no reason for him to wake up today.
The room was silent, and the only thing that was wrong was …
His arms were empty. He stretched his hand to the side. The bed beside him was also empty.
Ji Shiting's heart sank. He sat up and turned on the light.
The woman was standing in front of the window with her back facing him. She was wearing a nightgown, and she looked thin and weak.
Ji Shiting suddenly had a strange feeling.
He got out of bed, picked up his nightgown and said, "Shengge."
He also lowered his voice.
After a while, the woman finally turned around, looking very unfamiliar.
"Who are you?" Her tone was soft and innocent, like a little girl who didn't know the ways of the world. However, there was an indescribable evil in her bright eyes.
Ji Shiting calmed down when his premonition came true.
"I'm her husband," Ji Shiting said, staring into her eyes.
"Her." The woman chewed on the word. "You're smart. You know I'm different from her."
As she spoke, she licked her lips and revealed a puzzled smile. "I seem to have … slept for a very, very long time."
"Yes." Ji Shiting walked to her. "So, you can continue sleeping."
"But she needs me." Her voice was soft, but her tone was matter-of-fact.
"No, she has me now," Ji Shiting said. "She doesn't need you anymore."
"If she doesn't need me, I won't come out," the woman said. "Every time she feels scared, guilty, or sad, I will come out."
Fear, guilt, sadness.
Ji Shiting clenched his fists as he recalled the woman's pale face before sleeping.
Did he overlook something?
