Sleep
As the night darkened, the wind in our faces grew colder.
Yu Yueyue got out of the car, wearing a thin light-colored cardigan. She unconsciously shrank her body and walked quickly towards the company.
There were a few lights on in the company, and only a few people were busy working. The air around them was extremely quiet. Yu Yueyue passed by the others, pushed open the door of her office, and then closed it.
The door was closed, as if cutting off all contact with the outside world. She was the only one left in the world. Yu Yueyue instantly felt relaxed and comfortable, and breathed a sigh of relief. She opened the script book in her bag with some joy, and prepared to spend the whole night practicing her lines.
This time, the company has assigned Yu Yueyue a big IP drama, and she is the female lead. She must take it very seriously, hone her acting skills, and live up to the expectations of her agent Xiaoyi.
With the passion to improve herself, Yu Yueyue sat on the sofa, her eyes fell on the script in her hand, and began to read it carefully.
This is a story about a dispute between sworn enemies. The hero and heroine have disliked each other since childhood and have been competing with each other in everything. Due to an accident, both of them lost their memories. As they spent time together day and night, they secretly fell in love with each other. Then suddenly, they regained their memories and faced each other as sworn enemies again.
At a gorgeous and grand banquet, the male and female protagonists shouldered the family mission and each attended the banquet with their marriage partners. However, when the two who had been at odds with each other in the past met again, they seemed unusually harmonious on the surface. Everyone was unbelievable and did not notice the jealousy hidden deep inside the two.
In the office, Yu Yueyue read the script extremely carefully, not missing any corner. After she finished reading the entire plot, it only took her a short time, giving her plenty of time to practice playing the female lead.
Yu Yueyue suddenly sat up straight, holding the script in her hand, and was about to practice her lines as the heroine when she felt a little dizzy. Her frail body seemed to be hollowed out in an instant, and she felt powerless.
It’s like the phone only has a few bars of battery left and is about to shut down.
Yu Yueyue took a few deep breaths to adjust her breathing, and the physical feeling just now quickly dissipated. She thought she had not been out to work for a long time and was tired for a while, so she didn't take it to heart and continued to practice her lines.
…
In an inconspicuous corner, the hero and the heroine stood face to face, their eyes meeting. A faint light slanted in, and half of their bodies appeared in the light, and half disappeared in the darkness.
The male protagonist looked down at the woman and said with almost gritted teeth: "This is the first time I see you protecting that marriage partner so much. You really like him."
Yu Yueyue, acting like a heroine, turned her head away, looking a little unhappy: "Why else do you think I attended the party with him?"
Yu Yueyue's lips curled slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes: "He treats me very well, and I am very satisfied with him. I think your marriage partner is not bad either. I hope you..."
Before she could finish her words of blessing, a tall shadow instantly approached her, and the heroine Yu Yueyue was pressed against the wall by a powerful force.
The male protagonist's eyes turned red with anger. He put his hands on the woman's shoulders and said in his usual low voice, "I don't like her at all. I only like you."
His eyes darkened and he continued, "You are not allowed to be so nice to other men. You are mine."
The man in front of me was extremely jealous, paranoid, and unreasonable.
There was a huge disparity in power between men and women. Yu Yueyue was pressed against the wall and couldn't move. When she heard his unreasonable words, she was both shocked and angry.
She bit her lip, and her pretty face couldn't help but frown: "Are you crazy?!"
"I don't like you, and your family won't allow you to do this..."
Before she could finish her words, the man in front of her suddenly leaned over and kissed her directly. His movements were a bit domineering and not gentle at all.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, the atmosphere between the two people gradually became ambiguous.
…
The first time she practiced the lines according to the plot went smoothly. Yu Yueyue immersed herself in the heroine with rich emotions. However, her empathy for the heroine made her think of her current awkward relationship with Shang Xu.
The thought of this gave her a headache, but she finally ignored it and practiced her lines over and over again.
As the night deepened, people in the company left one after another, turning off the lights one by one, until only the light in Yu Yueyue's office remained.
When she was almost ready to play the role without a script, Yu Yueyue put away the script, reached out for her cell phone to say hello to the driver, but found that the phone was out of battery and turned off.
Thinking of the telephone outside the company lobby, Yu Yueyue stood up and walked towards the door, but when her fingertips touched the cold iron door handle, she couldn't open the door no matter what.
Yu Yueyue suddenly felt a little anxious, and the feeling of suffocation in her body made her even more depressed.
Just as she was about to turn the door open again, a sudden pain attacked her whole body, making her curl up on the cold ground in unbearable pain.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on her fair forehead and fell to the ground along her cheeks. The expression on Yu Yueyue's face was extremely painful, and her soft voice was filled with tears.
She has been most afraid of pain since she was a child, and she wants to cry when she feels pain.
At this moment, her mind was in a daze and she wanted to lie in a warm embrace to seek comfort.
A crisp system sound rang from her ears, making her consciousness clear for a moment.
System 009: "Host, please note that the pain-free value is zero. The pain penalty is being executed. After the execution is completed, the host will directly enter sleep mode."
System 009 spoke in a cold and heartless voice. Her mood instantly plummeted to the bottom, and a feeling of helplessness and despair quietly spread in her heart.
Unconsciously, Yu Yueyue seemed to become numb to the pain in her body. She only felt that her frail body was being drained away bit by bit, and her consciousness was being erased bit by bit.
In the final moments, Yu Yueyue thought of Shang Xu, and that usually cold and handsome face gradually became blurred...
Suddenly I couldn't bear to leave him.
She closed her eyes and the whole world fell into darkness.
A crisp system sound rang out at this time.
System 009: "The host has entered hibernation mode."
…
The clear blue sky is like washed glass. The bright sunshine shines on the luxurious villa, and the exquisite and smooth tiles emit an eye-catching luster.
A luxury car stopped on the hot road. A woman with delicate makeup got out of the car, carrying a basket of exquisitely packaged fruits in her hand, and walked towards the villa.
Ning Zhili came to the business this time with a complicated and guilty mood.
A week ago, because Yu Wenwen left the Yu family, and coupled with her years of admiration for Shang Xu, Ning Zhili's disgust for Yu Yueyue exploded. That night, when no one was noticing, she quietly locked the door from the outside and trapped her in the office.
Ning Zhili originally wanted to just teach Yu Yueyue a lesson, but what she never expected was that when someone found Yu Yueyue in the office the next morning, she was unconscious and could not be woken up no matter how they called her, as if she had lost her soul.
Upon learning the news that Yu Yueyue suddenly fell into a coma, both the Shang and Yu families were extremely anxious. Shang Xu simply put down his work and found the best doctor in the city, but still could not wake Yu Yueyue up.
Yu Yueyue is now like a vegetative person, lying quietly in bed. She may wake up suddenly one day, or she may never wake up in this life.
During this period, Shang Xu silently guarded Yu Yueyue and sent people to find out the person behind the scenes who deliberately trapped Yu Yueyue in the office that night, but Shang Xu did not pursue Ning Zhili and acted as if nothing had happened.
Because of this, Ning Zhili felt very complicated. She didn't expect things to develop in this direction.
…
Bright sunlight slanted down onto the stairs. Ning Zhili walked on them with fruit in her hands. The sound of her black high heels touching the floor was crisp and loud, echoing throughout the stairwell.
Before she knew it, Ning Zhili had reached the end of the stairs and arrived at the attic.
There was a tiny gap at the door. Ning Zhili reached out and knocked on the door, then pushed it open and walked in.
In the room, the floor-to-ceiling windows were half open, letting in bright sunlight. The small balcony outside was planted with a variety of flowers and green plants, and the parrot in the cage occasionally made crisp calls.
It makes the whole room full of vitality and is very suitable for recuperation.
A gentle breeze blew into the room through the gap between the French windows. The woman closed her eyes and lay quietly on the bed, like a withered flower, lifeless. The man sitting beside the bed looked at her and reached out to smooth the messy hair on her forehead.
Seeing this situation, Ning Zhili felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart, and she completely understood the impossibility between herself and Shang Xu.
Ning Zhili placed the fruit in her hand at the door, coughed lightly, and said cautiously, "Shang Xu, I'm sorry."
She said with some guilt: "If it wasn't my fault, Yueyue wouldn't be like this."
Hearing the sound coming from the door, Shang Xu's eyes still fell on the woman lying on the bed. He was silent for a few seconds, and then said lightly: "I don't blame you. She would have fallen asleep like this even without you."
He continued, "She will definitely wake up."
The cold and low voice carried a hint of persistence.
On the balcony, the parrot in the cage seemed to understand something and imitated it in a clear voice: "She will definitely wake up."
Seeing the man's persistence, Ning Zhili sighed softly, turned around and left silently, leaving the two of them alone.
A gentle breeze blew in, and the flowers and plants on the balcony swayed, making rustling sounds.
Shang Xu gently rubbed her head, again and again, looking extremely unsatisfied, his dark eyes filled with smiles and tenderness.
The attic door was suddenly pushed open, and Butler Lu hurried in, lowering his head and saying, "Master, I finally found out why the roses in the yard are withering. It turns out that the roots are all rotten."
The smile in Shang Xu's eyes disappeared instantly, and his face became cold, as if he had lost something.
He opened his thin lips and ordered, "Butler Lu, pull out all the roses in the yard today and buy a new batch of good rose seeds."
"I understand." Butler Lu nodded and retreated.
The parrot in the cage moved restlessly and made intermittent sounds.
Shang Xu looked down at the woman on the bed, holding her slender hands and saying gently, "Yueyue, you love roses the most."
"When the rose blooms, will you wake up?"
The low voice contained a hint of pleading.
