Ning Wan and Ning You were both amused by Ning Yanshu's words and burst into laughter.

Lu Anning, sitting on the sofa, seemed to understand what they were saying, waving her little hands and babbling.

Seeing that it was almost time, Ning Wan decided to take Ning Yanshu back.

Ke Ning Yanshu refused.

She insisted on sleeping next to her younger sister.

Ning Wan had no choice but to grant his wish. It was good to let them cherish this rare and fleeting sibling bond.

I just don't know what changes will happen in the future.

Once Ning You leaves, will the plot of the novel undergo new changes?

Ning Wan only worried for a second before quickly coming to a conclusion.

The world seems to have been in complete chaos without anyone even realizing it.

The memories belonging to the original owner in the brain seem to have lost their meaning.

In this world, Ning Wan had no advantage whatsoever.

Moreover, there are too many variables to predict how things will develop in the future.

Ning Wan didn't want to dwell on it.

Just as Grandma Chen said, she is still young and has many opportunities to try and fail. So she doesn't need to hesitate or be indecisive.

Follow only your own truest thoughts and believe in yourself.

After thinking about it this way, Ning Wan felt a great sense of relief.

It felt like clearing away layers of fog and suddenly seeing the light.

It's still early before bedtime, and Ning Yanshu isn't home, so Ning Wan can't fall asleep.

I might as well clean the room.

However, just as I finished cleaning the bedroom and changing the sheets, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Ning Wan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Who could it be at this hour?"

She threw the old sheets she had taken off into the bathroom and then went outside the bedroom.

As soon as the door opened, Shen Fu appeared out of nowhere.

Upon seeing Ning Wan, he leaned his entire body against her, his whole body radiating exhaustion.

"Aman?" Ning Wan asked, "Why did you suddenly come back?"

Shen Fu shook his head and buried his head in Ning Wan's neck.

"What's wrong?" Ning Wan unconsciously softened her tone, gently patting his back to comfort him. "What happened?"

"I……"

He opened his mouth in a hoarse voice, hesitated for a long time, but ultimately said nothing.

He tightened his grip, holding Ning Wan even closer and more tightly.

It was as if he wanted to perceive her presence in this way.

The events of noon came too suddenly, and even now Shen Fu is still somewhat at a loss.

All he could recall were the words Grandma Chen had said to him in the hospital.

His face was pale, and his body was trembling. He kept calling out, "Wanwan... Wanwan, Wanwan..."

Seeing Shen Fu's reaction, Ning Wan didn't ask any more questions.

She stayed quietly by his side, responding impatiently, "I'm here, I'm here... Wanwan is right here, Aman, don't be afraid..."

...

Shen Fu was exhausted.

I fell asleep shortly after I got back.

Even in his sleep, his brow was furrowed. His face betrayed a subtle vulnerability and helplessness.

Ning Wan leaned down and gently kissed Shen Fu's forehead, then tucked him in, quietly closed the door, and left...

...

He slept very soundly again.

My mind felt an immense weight.

He dreamt that he fell into the sea.

The vast ocean stretches to the horizon, offering no place to land.

He swam aimlessly until he was exhausted and his legs cramped.

His consciousness was in a daze, and he felt himself drowning little by little in the deep sea.

Immediately afterwards, the scene shifted, and Shen Fu found himself in a desolate and barren desert.

The sun overhead was blazing hot, almost drying him out.

His feet sank into the soft sand, and his whole body felt limp and powerless.

He gazed into the endless distance, his vision blurring once more.

He quickly collapsed, exhausted.

As he drifted back into a coma in his dream, the scene changed once again.

This time, he found himself in a luxurious villa.

The floor is paved with black marble and the tiles are as bright as a mirror. Exquisite mahogany carvings adorn the display shelves with intricate patterns, which are filled with a dazzling array of expensive ornaments.

Every detail here exudes elegance and magnificence.

Stepping into the villa gives one the illusion of being inside a magnificent palace.

The huge villa was completely empty.

As the hazy moonlight streamed in through the window, a chill and gloom permeated the gloomy villa.

Rather than calling it a villa, Shen Fu felt it was more like a luxurious but cold birdcage.

Shen Fu was somewhat confused about the meaning of these dreams. He also didn't understand why he was here.

My body started moving upstairs uncontrollably.

One step, two steps, three steps.

He walked very slowly, as if he was both anxious and expectant.

Soon, Shen Fu was taken to the second floor of the villa.

The decor here is far more luxurious than downstairs.

A rustic and elegant mahogany carving depicts a landscape scene, which sits atop a massive wall.

A magnificent crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, its intricate lighting casting a cool, bright light that illuminates the second floor.

Shen Fu saw himself walking deeper into the corridor, and he pushed open the door to one of the bedrooms.

The bedroom was dark; no lights were on.

Once his eyes had adjusted to the environment, Chen Fu was able to see the furnishings in the room clearly.

There was nothing inside except a bed.
