Chapter 1: Nice physique! I opened my eyes and saw eight-pack abs...

Wen Feng had a good impression of Yu Xue. He had stayed at Yu Xue's house for a while when he was little, and they had become friends after being introduced by their parents. However, he didn't really know her well; he only knew that she was cheerful, talkative, and liked by almost all their relatives and friends. His parents introduced her to Wen Feng because they liked her so much.

Wen Feng was constantly being pressured to get married, which annoyed him. Coincidentally, Yu Xue also wanted to get married, so the two of them got together. However, after they got together, Yu Xue stayed in her room almost every day and rarely came out. Wen Feng was also busy and had no interest in dating.

But they didn't fall out. They're just like ordinary friends living under the same roof. They nod and smile when they meet. It's been almost three years, since Yu Xue was a sophomore in college, and it's still going on now.

Wen Feng was away on a business trip for two months, during which time he heard that Yu Xue had attempted suicide by cutting her wrists.

The housekeeper called in tears, saying that Yu Xue had cut herself deeply and was lying in the bathtub, genuinely trying to kill herself, deliberately choosing to do it after dinner when no one was upstairs. If Wen Feng hadn't called to ask the housekeeper to find some documents, and the housekeeper hadn't searched everywhere and wanted to ask Yu Xue, Yu Xue might have really died in her room that night.

Her room was usually messy, but on that day, it was tidied up perfectly. The floor was covered with her favorite plush toys, the walls were hung with many beautiful ribbons, and red flower petals filled the bathtub, blending together with the blood.

The aunt couldn't wait for the police to arrive, so she chopped the door open with an axe, ruining this beautiful scene.

Upon hearing the news, Wen Feng immediately bought a ticket to go home.

He was still in a daze on the plane.

Everything was fine when we met two months ago, how could it suddenly...?

After he got off the plane, he originally wanted to go straight to the hospital, but his mother called again crying, saying that Yu Xue had given him several pots of flowers she had grown herself a few days ago, played a few games of chess with his father, accompanied him to buy bags, and helped him choose paintings.

As a result, the doctor suddenly called today and said that Yu Xue has been seeing a doctor for the past few years, but she has never even heard of this mental illness.

She and her father rushed over that night and stayed until the caregiver arrived.

Wen Feng comforted his mother for a few moments, and was suddenly scolded:

"You and Yu Xue are together every day, don't you know anything about it?"

"What kind of husband are you?!"

"Did you bully her? If you don't like her, you should divorce her and let her find someone new so I can officially take her in as my goddaughter."

Wen Feng: "I didn't..."

Mom started crying again.

For the first time in more than twenty years, Wen Feng's eyes, which had been silent, flashed with a light—a light of confusion.

Can anyone tell him what happened?

Are the time differences between foreign countries and China different?

He spent two months abroad, but actually two years had passed in China?

No one could tell him why, because nobody knew.

The aunt said that Yu Xue ate two bowls of rice at dinner that day, but stopped her when she was about to eat a third bowl, saying that she wouldn't be able to sleep if she ate too much.

Yu Xue praised the chef for making delicious beef.

Auntie: "Could it be because of that bowl of rice?"

Wen Feng: "...Definitely not, don't overthink it."

He had already left the airport and was heading straight to the hospital.

During the journey, Yu Xue's studio called again, saying that Yu Xue was photographed on her way to the emergency room, and now the internet is buzzing with all sorts of rumors, from suicide to kidnapping to murder.

Having no other option, Wen Feng contacted the staff member in charge of Yu Xue and resolved the matter.

Fortunately, Yu Xue doesn't have much work recently. She said she wanted to take a vacation a while ago and turned down all her work, so there's nothing difficult to handle; she can just issue a public relations statement.

In fact, Yu Xue has never been aware of being a public figure. She has always felt that she just wanted to sing, so she sang. Sometimes she doesn't really feel like she is a star. Most of the time, Wen Feng handles all the logistical work.

Yu Xue was very touched because Wen Feng never went against her wishes and never complained.

Wen Feng wasn't sure what Yu Xue was thinking, so when he posted the clarification, he only said it was an accident and that she was out of danger.

What to say and how to explain it next is up to Yu Xue to decide.

Within a day, Wen Feng received a bunch of calls. Some were from his relatives, some were from close friends, some were from one or two of Yu Xue's good friends, and some were from people he wasn't that close to.

Apart from Yu Xue's parents.

While Wen Feng was dealing with his business, his mother called again.

"Hello?" Wen Feng frowned, his voice trembling slightly at the end, but he tried hard to control himself.

He was terrified for a whole day and night, and couldn't sleep on the plane, fearing he would receive a death notice when he returned.

Although there is no romantic relationship between husband and wife, there is still a friendship.

Wen's mother asked, "Are you still busy with work? Is anyone taking care of Yu Xue?"

Wen Feng: "Auntie has gone."

Wen's mother said, "What I mean is, if you can't make it, your father and I will go first. In case Yu Xue wakes up and finds that there are no relatives around, she will be sad."

Wen Feng: "No need, I'll be done soon and go over this afternoon."

Wen's mother: "Okay, call me if you get too busy."

Wen Feng: "Okay."

After dealing with things online, he rushed to the hospital.

He sat downstairs at the hospital for a while, suddenly unsure of what to say when he saw Yu Xue later.

When she first woke up, she must have been in pain and distress. Wen Feng was afraid that he might say something wrong and worsen Yu Xue's pain.

He dared not speak, for fear of saying the wrong thing, nor dared to remain silent, for fear that Yu Xue would overthink things.

He stood downstairs with fruit in his hands, waiting for a long time.

Finally, I stepped inside.

He didn't go directly to the ward, but went to see the doctor first.

Wen Feng often heard that Yu Xue was sick, but it was always minor ailments that could be treated by a family doctor and some medicine. This was the first time Wen Feng had heard that Yu Xue had a primary care physician, an aunt who looked about the same age as her mother, and who appeared gentle, calm, and reassuring.

No wonder Yu Xue chose her.

The doctor said that Yu Xue woke up once during the night and chatted with her for a while.

Wen Feng asked, "Did she say why?"

The doctor hesitated for a moment, then said, "No."

She paused for a moment, then added, "She said there was no reason, she just thought that way at the time, and that's how she did it."

Seeing Wen Feng's confusion, she said, "The patient's mental illness is medically called 'fantasy,' which is mainly characterized by hallucinations and drowsiness. Patients often experience hallucinations. In mild cases, they know that it is a hallucination, but in particularly severe cases, they cannot distinguish between dreams and reality. It is often accompanied by depressive moods and difficulty controlling their behavior."

As she spoke, she suddenly looked troubled: "Uh... actually, when the patient first came to see us, the problem wasn't serious at all, not even close to being severe. But based on our observations and the patient's own account, she always disobeyed the doctor's orders, and there were always instances of stopping or interrupting her medication. She seems to... really enjoy her beautiful dreams and doesn't want to wake up. Whenever she finds that those dreams that she was so obsessed with no longer occur, she loses control of her emotions and refuses to take her medication."

She sighed, "We advised the patient to be hospitalized for a period of time, but the patient always declined, saying... he was too busy with work?"

Wen Feng was lost in memories. To be honest, he didn't think Yu Xue was busy with work. She hadn't held a concert in a long time. Occasionally, he could hear her playing the piano and singing at home, but she hadn't released any albums for more than two years. She used to appear on TV shows and show her face to the audience, but the response wasn't very good, so she hasn't appeared on TV shows at all now.

Previously, she was pressured by her company to work, but later Yu Xue became unhappy and asked Wen Feng to pay the penalty for breach of contract so she could terminate the contract.

He's basically semi-retired from the entertainment industry now.

Wen Feng said frankly, "She's not particularly busy with work, but creating content is definitely very energy-consuming."

Doctor: "I think she's deeply trapped in her own dream and can't get out. Hospitalization is absolutely necessary, but we're respecting the patient's wishes. Even if she doesn't go to the hospital, her family needs to show her more care and absolutely cannot let her stop taking her medication again."

Wen Feng nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Doctor: "If it's not necessary, it's best not to disturb the patient's dream. In this situation, we shouldn't agitate the patient. Treatment should be done slowly."

Wen Feng agreed, then asked, "I'd like to ask, how is the patient's mood right now?"

The doctor pursed his lips, unsure how to respond. "She's alright. You'll see for yourself. She's not unconscious anymore; she's just sleeping."

Wen Feng didn't quite understand, but he didn't press the matter further.

He walked into the ward, put the fruit aside, and leaned over to look at Yu Xue's face.

Her lips blended seamlessly with her skin, completely devoid of color. Her lips were pressed into a thin line, and her expressionless face was something Wen Feng rarely saw.

When her facial muscles are relaxed, the corners of her mouth always turn down, making her look unhappy.

Her chest rose and fell slowly, her breath creating tiny folds on the blanket, a sight that brought a sense of peace.

Wen Feng reached out his finger, wanting to touch her face, but suddenly realized his offense and quickly withdrew it.

She's so thin.

She doesn't eat much at home; she won't eat bread if it's toasted a little too crispy because she thinks it's too dry.

But the aunt said that she ate two bowls of rice that afternoon.

He heard footsteps. His aunt came over. She walked in, looked at Wen Feng, opened her mouth, then closed it again, and glanced at the sleeping Yu Xue.

Wen Feng understood and followed her out.

The aunt stood at the door, handed him the jar in her arms, and whispered, "This is honey that Madam sent. Madam said that Xiao Yu doesn't like to drink water, so she asked us to add some honey to make it easier for him to drink. And this pile of things was also sent by Madam and Master."

Wen Feng took it and said, "Okay, give it to me. Auntie, you can go back now. I'll stay with you tonight. I've also hired a caregiver."

The aunt nodded, "Okay."

Wen Feng prepared honey water in a thermos. When he returned, his assistant had just brought over a change of clothes. He had been in a hurry on the way here and hadn't changed his clothes for a day and a night. He was also sweating and worried about smelling.

Before Yu Xue woke up, he turned around and quickly took off his clothes.

Just as he finished putting on his pants and was about to put on his shirt, he suddenly heard a low laugh.

He paused, then turned his head.

Yu Xue was already awake. She smiled and looked at him calmly.

After a moment of silence, Yu Xue teased, "You have a nice figure."

His tone and expression were exactly the same as before he left.

It's as if she was just having a dream.
