She still couldn't accept this reality.

The first thing An Youhe did upon returning to her rented room was to take off her shoes, a smile on her face.

"Ye Zhou, I'm back. Let's see what I brought from the supermarket!"

Ye Zhou just stood there smiling, without saying a word.

An Youhe laughed and said, "You can't guess, can you? That's right, you're so dense, you didn't even realize I've liked you for so long. Okay, I'll tell you, I bought bell peppers, bean sprouts, and a piece of pork leg. There's meat today! Hehe, you wait, I'll cook it for you."

An Youhe passed by Ye Zhou on her way to the kitchen.

An Youhe brought out two plates of pretty good dishes after cooking them.

She happened to see Ye Zhou sitting at the table, smiling at her.

"All you do is wait to eat, don't you know how to help?" An Youhe pretended to be angry and helpless, and put down the plate.

She went to the kitchen, filled two bowls with porridge, and came out with chopsticks.

Place the bowl and chopsticks on the table in front of Ye Zhou.

An Youhe was eating with relish. When she looked up, she saw Ye Zhou just smiling at her without picking up his chopsticks.

"Eating? Do you think watching me will make you full?" The girl tilted her head and looked at Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou remained smiling, without picking up his chopsticks.

"Oh, I see. Is it because my cooking isn't to your liking? Then don't eat it yet, go to sleep later."

Ye Zhou got up and walked to the bed to lie down, without An Youhe noticing.

An Youhe smiled sweetly and finished Ye Zhou's portion of food.

After tidying up the dishes and chopsticks.

An Youhe lay on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and covered Ye Zhou with it as well.

The boy was asleep with his eyes closed.

An Youhe said sweetly, "Goodnight, Ye Zhou."

...

“I really can’t take it anymore. An Youhe has been acting a bit scary lately. She keeps saying her boyfriend is coming to pick her up in his car, but it’s clearly her own car, and there’s no one in it.”

"Another time, she said her boyfriend came to visit her at the company, and she talked to the air for twenty minutes while smiling. When I went over, she even told me to greet the air over there. My god, I was so scared. Has An Youhe been possessed lately?"

"What kind of evil spirit is she possessed? We should believe in science. She must have gone mad. She suddenly developed a mental illness. Working hard can also cause illness."

"Is he really mentally ill? The more you talk about it, the scarier it gets. I don't want to work with a mentally ill person."

"Then you should resign. She has Mr. Feng protecting her."

The female employee suddenly approached and said, "Mr. Feng died in a skydiving accident yesterday. Didn't you know?"

Two female employees were chatting when An Youhe walked in, and they stopped talking.

An Youhe, a top student from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, joined this company right after graduation and has been working here for seven years, making her one of the company's veterans.

The chairman was aware of the gossip among the employees, but he didn't want to fire such a loyal employee.

"Xiao An, I suggest you see a psychologist soon," the chairman said softly.

"Have I made any mistakes at work recently?" An Youhe asked nervously.

"No, you're doing a great job. I'm just a little concerned about your mental health. The company will cover the cost of your counseling; it's their responsibility, so you don't need to worry."

An Youhe had no choice but to nod.

weekend.

The psychologist said to An Youhe seriously, "The person you saw was fake, just a figment of your imagination. You just can't accept his departure. You need to see reality clearly; life still goes on."

An Youhe walked out of the psychology department, looking dazed. She didn't know who to believe anymore.

Back in the rented apartment, Ye Zhou was sitting on the sofa when he opened the door, with a glass of water already poured in it.

Ye Zhou handed over the cup, saying, "You must be tired from work, have some water."

An Youhe reached out, took the cup, and took a sip of water, which was still warm.

As expected, what the doctor said was all a lie; Ye Zhou was clearly with him perfectly well.

If Ye Zhou wasn't real, then why could she hear Ye Zhou's voice and drink the water that Ye Zhou poured for her?

It's another weekend.

An Youhe was forced by the chairman to go to the psychology department again.

The psychologist sighed and said, "That's just your hallucinations getting worse."

When An Youhe came out of the psychology department, she was carrying a bag containing all sorts of medicines.

Back at the rented room, Ye Zhou came over and put her slippers away.

"What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood today."

An Youhe shook her head. "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

"Then let's get some rest today," Ye Zhou said, glancing at An Youhe's bag. "What's in the bag?"

"It's medicine."

"Are you sick? Why are you taking medicine?" Ye Zhou asked, frowning.

"Some people say you're fake, that you're just my imagination."

Ye Zhou chuckled, walked to the table, and poured warm water into a glass.

"Then drink the medicine."

An Youhe smiled and took the medicine the doctor gave her with warm water.

She didn't believe Ye Zhou was hallucinating!

The next day, An Youhe couldn't find Ye Zhou anywhere, and she was extremely worried.

At noon, Ye Zhou came out from outside, barefoot.

An Youhe quickly hugged Ye Zhou.

"Where did you go this morning? I've been looking for you all morning!"

Ye Zhou smiled and put his arm around An Youhe's shoulder. "I went out for a walk, and before I knew it, so much time had passed. I'm sorry."

"Okay, I'll forgive you this time, but please don't leave without leaving a message next time!"

"Don't worry, absolutely not."

...

An Youhe opened the door, and Qi Lili arrived, carrying a gift.

"I heard you work for a big company. I happened to be passing by, so I came to see you." Qi Lili wore a large sun hat and smiled brightly.

"Lili, it's been a long time! Welcome, welcome!"

Qi Lili walked in and saw a pair of men's slippers on the shoe rack, and a little spark of gossip ignited within her.

"Is it your boyfriend's?"

An Youhe nodded shyly.

Qi Lili changed into another pair of brand-new slippers and complained, "Why do you look so pale? How long has it been since you went out to get some sun? Don't stay in the office all the time. If you don't exercise, you'll have serious problems."

"Okay, I've been taking walks with my boyfriend a lot lately."

An Youhe glanced at the clock; it was exactly noon. "I'll go cook first. You sit on the sofa for now. I'll wake Ye Zhou up; he's been a bit lazy lately."

An Youhe finally woke Ye Zhou up, and Ye Zhou asked with a smile, "Is he your friend?"

"Yes, you need to do well. Lili and I are best friends."

An Youhe pulled Ye Zhou in front of Qi Lili, "Lili, this is Ye Zhou. Ye Zhou, this is Lili. You two have a good chat. I'm going to cook."

An Youhe tied on her scarf and began to busy herself with cooking.
