Wang Ruo shook her head, expressing her belief that Wang Zhen, as a sister, was truly competent. Even when they fought and quarreled, they never blamed each other; perhaps it was because twins shared a certain tacit understanding. "What's there to complain about? The guy she beat up was a local thug who was trying to tease me. Seeing him acting clumsy and with ill intentions, she picked up the soy sauce bottle from her basket and threw it at him. Cool, wasn't it?"

Tang Chen nodded continuously and said, "I can imagine that. It's so handsome. However, I really didn't realize that there were times when others protected you."

Wang Ruo closed her eyes and rested for a moment before slowly speaking, "From childhood to adulthood, she has always protected me. So after arriving here, I decided to change my lifestyle. By chance, I met a master, and I begged him to teach me martial arts. I only thought about being able to protect her in the future. In the end, I was still a step too late. By the time I was able to protect her, she was gone."

In this strange place, I still have a family member to accompany me, which is really enviable. Tang Chen thought, if my brother who has always been naughty at home is here, maybe he will be the same as Wang Ruo: "Don't worry, she must have always felt your feelings."

After finishing her own story, Wang Ruo also became curious about Tang Chen's story. Although she had inquired about her before, after all, it was just hearsay from others. Who knows if it might be exaggeration from others. "As for you, I haven't heard you talk about how you came here."

Speaking of this, Tang Chen recalled his own unbearable past. Compared with Wang Ruo and the others, his own story seemed even more ridiculous: "As for me, when I was taking out the trash, I was cursed by a cockroach."

Wang Ruo couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Pfft, yours seems even more bizarre."

Tang Chen scratched his head and added somewhat embarrassedly: "Actually, I'm also confused about what happened. I just remember going to the dormitory to throw away the trash, but when I left, the trash was still in my hands, and the school was gone. Isn't that strange?"

Wang Ruo smiled and said, "It's quite strange."

Speaking of which, Tang Chen seemed to have never told anyone about his own affairs except Li Xinzhai. Now that Li Xinzhai was gone, it was rare for God to give him this opportunity, so he decided to chat with Wang Ruo for a while: "You know, when I first came here, my first reaction was to go back. I was trying to survive while trying to find clues in the Su family mansion."

The Su family collapsed overnight, and that was the day Tang Chen suddenly appeared. At that time, the black market believed that Tang Chen had some connection with the whole incident, so they sent someone to keep an eye on her every move.

If Wang Ruo remembered correctly, Su Zhirou had used all her family assets to buy information on the black market. "Yes, the Jiangdu Su family?"

Tang Chen continued, "Well, but the mansion was sealed after that, and I had someone I couldn't let go of, so I didn't dwell on whether I would go back or not."

Wang Ruo sighed deeply, then leaned against Tang Chen's chest and said, "Tell me, is everything we're experiencing now just a dream? Or perhaps, the present is reality, and the memories of the past are just a dream imagined out of thin air?"

Tang Chen smiled helplessly and said, "I don't know how to do this either."

After talking for a while, Wang Ruo's spirits gradually faded. Tang Chen's embrace was very warm. Wang Ruo slowly closed her eyes and her voice gradually became softer: "I am really tired again. Let me sleep for a while. When he comes, wake me up, okay?"

"Well, just sleep for a while."

…On the fifth day after Hua Wuxin left, Wang Ruo finally waited for him to return safely. Although, she had always believed that it was just what she saw and heard in a dream.

Tang Chen sat beside Wang Ruo's bed, doing needlework while taking care of Wang Ruo. When he stopped to rest, he would wipe her body and water the flowers and plants.

It was almost noon. Tang Chen thought the two children would wake up and have some fun. Just as he was about to pack up and go check on them, he saw the maid walk in quickly: "Madam, Boss Hua is back."

Tang Chen was so excited that he jumped up and said, "After so many days, I'm finally back. Where's the doctor? Did you find him?"

After all, this hot spring villa wasn't a casual place. Since Hua Wuxin had brought a stranger back, they naturally had to inform Wang Nianqing first. They had to wait for the Qilin Guard's approval before they could bring the stranger to the backyard. So now everyone was anxiously waiting for news in the front yard. The maid came over first to reply, "Boss Hua is followed by an old man with a sage-like demeanor. Perhaps he's the doctor."

Tang Chen looked at the person sleeping on the bed and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "That's good. You go out and entertain them first. I'll help Madam wash up. Tell Wang Nianqing that the old man is the doctor Hua Wuxin invited. Tell them to let the person in quickly."

"yes."

After Prajna followed Hua Wuxin into the backyard, she, with Tang Chen's help, performed a comprehensive examination of Wang Ruo. Tang Chen saw that the procedure was no different from what other doctors in the valley had done on Wang Ruo. For now, it was unclear what particular strengths this old man possessed in his medical skills.

After the examination, Hua Wuxin saw that Prajna seemed to have made up her mind. Although Wang Ruo was still asleep, in order to prevent her from hearing anything bad, he whispered, "...Senior, let's talk outside."

Prajna raised his hand slightly, stroked his beard and said, "No need."

Tang Chen had a bad feeling when he heard this. Could it be that this old man, like the other doctors in the valley, couldn't see anything? "Old senior, are you saying that Ah Ruo is fine?"

Prajna said confidently, "It's okay. I'm old now, and my body isn't as strong as you young people. It's normal for me to like sleeping. Just don't fall asleep all the time."

Tang Chen's expression changed slightly, and the favorable impression he had on Prajna when she first entered the room was clearly gone. "Old Senior, Boss Hua should have told you about Ah Ruo's situation. She's not very old. Also, no matter how much she likes to sleep, she can't sleep for two or three days at a time."

He had seen these symptoms, and Hua Wuxin had described them to him in detail on the road. At the time, he had wondered if it was some special, difficult-to-treat illness, but now it seemed it wasn't that the doctors in the valley were useless, but rather that Wang Ruo's condition wasn't even considered a symptom in the eyes of these doctors.
