Chapter 171 Welcome Back to the Human World

The next day, it started to snow lightly again.

Fu Beichen stirred on the bed; at that moment, his mind felt like it was being crammed into a fast-forwarded movie.

All the scenes are related to Gu Xingnian, showing her jumping into the icy sea to snatch the antidote that could save his life.

There's also the scene where she cuts her own wrist to use her warm blood to detoxify him. And the scene where she patiently feeds him, bite by bite.

There was also her kissing him in the midst of a heavy snowfall, her accompanying him to Tianshui Peak to see the snow, and her heart-wrenching, piercing cries...

Every frame, every second, was tearing at his heart.

His brainwaves were surging wildly on the monitor, with steep peaks, as if he were on the verge of his limit.

He was a ferocious beast trapped in a cage, about to break free.

"Niannian!" he suddenly called out the name and opened his eyes.

A delicate ceiling light hangs from the ceiling, the entire room is snow-white, and several oil paintings hang on the walls.

He raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

He can see it.

He can see the world again.

He ripped off the monitoring cable from his body, and the instrument immediately emitted a piercing scream.

Lin Qi and the doctor rushed in immediately. When Lin Qi saw the man sitting up on the hospital bed, his joy was palpable.

"Mr. Fu, you're awake! Can you see?"

Fu Beichen glanced at him, his gaze as sharp as ever, his face filled with barely concealed urgency, and he spoke:

Where is Niannian?

Lin Qi was shocked. President Fu really could see!

"Madam...Madam is downstairs."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Beichen had already jumped off the bed barefoot and rushed straight to the balcony.

He pushed open the door, a cold wind rushed in, and he saw that beautiful figure.

She walked slowly out of the vast white snow, holding an elegant floral umbrella and a few purple-red seven-colored brocade flowers in her hand. She stood in the snow, proud and otherworldly.

He was somewhat dazed, his throat felt like it was blocked by something, and he couldn't utter a single word.

His eyes quickly welled up with tears; it had been far too long since he had seen her face with his own eyes.

Gu Xingnian also saw him.

He stood on the second-floor balcony, the north wind making his thin hospital gown flutter and his black hair dance in disarray.

Her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

She knew he would come back.

She looked up and shouted at him.

"Fu Beichen".

"Fu Beichen!"

"Fu Beichen!"

She called out three times, and the distraught person on the balcony finally came to his senses.

He turned around, barefoot, and ran downstairs like a madman.

He ran to her with all his might, and when he stopped, he was still panting heavily. In his deep eyes, there was an overwhelming joy that he could no longer hide.

She looked at him and smiled softly.

"Fu Beichen, welcome back to the human world."

He could no longer restrain himself.

The surging love in my heart and the deep longing in my soul burst forth at this moment.

He reached out his trembling hand, cupped her face, and kissed her deeply.

The kiss was passionate and lingering, filled with the thrill of being reborn from the dead.

It carries a burning love hidden deep within the soul.

After experiencing life and death with two people, my heart is pounding uncontrollably.

He wanted to devour her whole, to melt her into his very bones.

Even the winter winds have become gentle.

Lin Qi stood not far away, watching this scene that was more beautiful and moving than any movie, and couldn't help but take out his phone and secretly record a video.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!

...

On the other side, in an abandoned factory in the suburbs, Sheng Weiwei huddled behind a rusty tin bucket, trembling all over like a frightened rabbit.

Fang Ligang had just returned from outside and walked up to her, his tall figure casting a shadow.

"Miss Sheng, we should go now."

Sheng Weiwei raised her bloodshot eyes, her voice terribly hoarse, "Where is he? Where is Zhan Xiao?"

Fang Li lowered his eyes, avoiding her gaze. "Mr. Zhan... he succumbed to his injuries and died."

With a "boom," Sheng Weiwei's mind exploded, going completely blank.

She stared intently at him, forcing out each word slowly and deliberately.

"What did you say?"

"Before his death, Mr. Zhan instructed me to escort you to Tianshui Peak. Once there, Mr. Fu will arrange for you to return to China."

Fang Li took out something wrapped in cloth from his pocket and handed it over.

The cloth, printed with a kitten pattern, still retained the warmth of the man's body.

With trembling hands, Sheng Weiwei peeled back the layers one by one, revealing half of a cracked silver mask.

It's Zhan Xiao's mask.

It's the mask he never takes off.

"No..." Tears streamed down his face without warning, landing on the half of the mask.

"You're lying to me! How could he possibly be dead!"

She grabbed his sleeve and shook him frantically, as if grasping at the last straw.

Fang Li's face was filled with grief, and his voice was hoarse.

“Mr. Zhan has never betrayed you. His previous entanglement with Miss Xi was because he had someone impersonate him. This time it was Miss Xi’s revenge. From beginning to end, in his heart… there is only you, Miss Sheng.”

Sheng Weiwei was completely drained of her strength.

She clutched the half of the cold mask in grief, and slowly, she fainted.

...

On Tianshui Peak, Lin Qi played the role of a bright, shining light bulb all day long.

The wattage is also exceptionally high.

He served tea and water, peeled fruit and handed out towels, his eyes never leaving Fu Beichen.

The boss's health is related to his future career!

After a day of investigation, he finally figured it out.

President Fu has precisely lost three segments of his memory.

The first paragraph describes what happened on the night of his birthday celebration.

The second paragraph is about throwing his wife into the swimming pool.

The third paragraph describes what happened during his wife's high fever and how he stayed by her side for a day and a night.

Good grief, is this amnesia selectively targeted? Does it only forget things when you're not human?

That evening, Fu Beichen went upstairs, and Lin Qi, still harboring wicked intentions, followed behind.

Fu Beichen stopped and turned back to give him a cold glance.

"how?"

"Do you still want me to hold you while you sleep tonight?"

Lin Qi was so startled that he shook his head like a rattle-drum and quickly rolled away.

Fu Beichen walked to Gu Xingnian's door and knocked.

The door opened.

Gu Xingnian had just finished showering, and her body still carried the steam and the fragrance of shower gel.

She was holding a towel, casually drying her wet hair.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Fu Beichen's eyes were burning with intensity as he stared intently at her.

I want to go see the stars with you.

Gu Xingnian looked up at the window; the sky was as dark as a black cloth.

"The sky is so dark, there are no stars to see."

He declared domineeringly, "Wherever there are stars, there is a starry sky."

After saying that, he slipped into the room.

Gu Xingnian was startled and subconsciously took a step back, saying helplessly, "Then move a chair and go to the balcony to look."

He walked straight up to her and took the towel from her hand.

His long, slender fingers ran through her hair, gently wiping it.

His gentle gaze fell on the gauze wrapped around her wrist, and his heart ached slightly.

"Nian Nian".

His voice was low, close to her ear, and had a captivating magnetism.

"Thank you for everything you've done for me. Without you, I wouldn't be in this world anymore."

"So, I want to repay you properly."

"Repay me?" Gu Xingnian was a little confused, sensing that something was off about his demeanor.

"I'll repay you with my body." He uttered those four words firmly.

Gu Xingnian was completely stunned. Why did those words sound so familiar?

She turned her face away, avoiding his hot breath, "Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, you should go and rest early."

He suddenly used his strength to lift her up horizontally and place her steadily on the dressing table.

He lowered his head, and a domineering kiss landed...
