Yan Wan felt like she had slept for a very long time. She felt like she was walking alone in the dark, without direction or goal. She didn't know how far or how long she had walked, but she felt that the person she was looking for was just ahead, so she couldn't stop and had to keep going.

"Wan'er, Wan'er, wake up! Please!" Xiao Xiao looked worriedly at Yan Wan, whose brows were furrowed.

Who is it?

It's calling me.

Yan Wan ran forward with all her might; she still had people she wanted to see and couldn't stay here.

When Xiaoxiao saw Yan Wan slowly wake up, she looked at Yan Wan excitedly, waved her hand in front of Yan Wan's eyes, and said excitedly, "Wan'er, you're awake."

Hearing the voice beside her, Yan Wan looked incredulously at the person and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Xiao."

Xiaoxiao was so excited that tears streamed down her face. "Silly girl, you scared me to death! You said you were sleepy and wanted to take a nap, so I brought you food, and then you just fell into a coma for three months. It scared me to death!"

The system Xiaoxiao took Yan Wan back to the modern hospital the moment she woke up. She didn't want Yan Wan to know that she was a system. What if Yan Wan thought that she approached her with ulterior motives?

Yan Wan forced a weak smile and said, "I'm fine, don't cry." She wanted to raise her hand to wipe Xiao Xiao's tears, but she had been lying down for too long and didn't even have the strength to lift her arm.

"Wanwan, you must be hungry after sleeping for so long. I'll go buy you something to eat." Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that Yanwan hadn't eaten yet, so she rushed out to find something to eat.

Yan Wan stared at Xiao Xiao's back for a long time.

Xiaoxiao, who exactly are you?

Or rather, system, it's been a long time.

Yan Wan sensed that Xiao Xiao didn't want to tell her her identity, so she decided to pretend she didn't know. Xiao Xiao wouldn't harm her, would she?

Looking at the modern hospital, Yan Wan felt a pang of emotion. Although she had been in the world of the book for over a year, only three months had passed in real life. It seemed that the flow of time was different inside and outside the book.

She was somewhat dazed, wondering how Ji Mohan had fared after she left. He must have hated her after reading the letter. And her father and mother, if they knew they weren't their biological daughter, they probably wouldn't be sad for long. They might even hate her, this wandering ghost, for taking over their daughter's body.

Jing Xi is lively, intelligent and decisive. With Yan Ji Hotpot and the estate and shop that Yan Ji gave her, she will surely live a prosperous life. Now, she and Jiang Bai are also about to get married.

And then there's Gu Yu. That girl is sentimental, but she's also smart and resilient. I believe that even if she's gone, Gu Yu can still make the shop thrive through her own efforts. From now on, she'll have a place to go and the ability to support herself.

She severed all ties with her own hands, and now she no longer needs to dwell on them.

Although Yan Wan thought this way, the tears hidden in her temples betrayed her.

"Wanwan, the food is here. I'll help you sit up, and then I'll feed you." Xiaoxiao came in from outside carrying several food boxes, put them on the table, and walked to the bedside to help Yan Wan sit up.

Then she deftly opened the food box, picked up a bowl, scooped out some food, gently blew on it, and held it to Yan Wan's lips, saying, "Are you hungry? Eat up."

Yan Wan smiled, gently took the spoonful and ate it. She looked at Xiao Xiao and suddenly said, "Xiao Xiao, it may be unbelievable, but do you know? While I was unconscious, I went to another world."

Xiaoxiao paused for a moment while scooping rice, then resumed her normal motion, feigning surprise as she asked, "Really? What does it look like?"

Yan Wan didn't expose Xiao Xiao. She must have her own reasons for not saying anything. Xiao Xiao, like her, grew up in an orphanage and lacked a sense of security. Yan Wan understood. If Xiao Xiao didn't say anything, then she would pretend not to know.

"Xiaoxiao, do you know what? I actually ended up in the novel I read before I fainted. In that world, I'm Yan Wan, the villainous cannon fodder female supporting character who's obsessed with the prince. Even so, I'm so happy. I have loving parents, a protective older brother and sister-in-law, friends, and a lover." Yan Wan said with a face full of happiness. In the world of the book, she was no longer alone. She had the family she longed for and the love that seemed so unattainable before.

"Wan'er, do you want to go back?" Xiaoxiao hesitated for a long time. She didn't want Yan Wan to be involved in the world of the book anymore, and wanted her to live a peaceful life in the modern world.

But she saw the happy smile on Yan Wan's face, her eloquent recollection of that time, and even her cheerful voice.

Perhaps she shouldn't have imposed her own ideas on Yan Wan.

When Yan Wan heard Xiao Xiao ask this question, she paused and said, "Xiao Xiao, I was very happy in that world, but if I leave, you will be all alone."

She also had her own selfish motives and was conflicted. What would Xiaoxiao do if she left?

Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting her to say that. Then, she quickly recovered and said, "Wanwan, don't be discouraged. Things will work out in the end. Maybe everything you hope for will come true."

Well then, since it's what she asked for, she'll help her out again.

Under Xiaoxiao's care, Yan Wan was discharged from the hospital full of energy a month later. Her life returned to what it was like before she transmigrated into the book. She went back and forth between home and the company every day, and her life was as plain as water. Sometimes, Xiaoxiao would invite her to go out to eat or go shopping.

Sometimes, she couldn't help but wonder if that period of time was a beautiful dream she unconsciously created while she was in a coma. Sometimes she even doubted whether it was real.

Whenever she had doubts, her heart firmly told her that it wasn't a dream, it was something that had truly existed, something she had experienced, and that everything was real.

Days passed by at a leisurely pace, and in the blink of an eye, Yan Wan had been back in modern life for more than two months. Standing by the window, looking at the snow-covered world outside, Yan Wan thought that Ji Mohan and the others would be celebrating the New Year soon.

She really missed him.

I wonder if he misses me?
