The deep, painful sound caught Ning Wan's attention outside.
She quickly put down what she was doing and rushed back to her room.
On the bed, Shen Fu had already woken up.
He sat up straight, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.
He looked at his hand, which was hanging in mid-air, with some pain.
The veins in his hands bulged, and he trembled violently.
Even though there was nothing on it, Shen Fu seemed to have been tainted by something terrible.
He wiped it frantically.
They wanted to erase the traces of their sins and forget the horrific images in their minds.
His hands were rubbed until they were red and almost peeled off.
Ning Wan rushed forward to stop his almost self-destructive behavior: "Aman, stop it. Don't do this."
Upon hearing Ning Wan's voice, Shen Fu seemed to wake up from a dream.
His chest heaved, and he struggled to breathe. He stared blankly, his gaze unfocused.
Until he gradually saw the person in front of him clearly, and saw Ning Wan safe and sound.
Shen Fu's eyes instantly reddened: "...Wanwan, are you in pain? ...I'm sorry, Wanwan, I'm so sorry..."
He wanted to hold Ning Wan, but he was also afraid that he would lose control again and do something to hurt her.
So he could only retreat step by step to a corner, keeping a distance from Ning Wan. He kept apologizing, repeating "I'm sorry" over and over again.
Ning Wan didn't understand why Shen Fu had become like this.
They assumed he was just frightened by a nightmare.
She stepped forward and hugged him, patiently comforting him: "Don't be afraid, dreams are always the opposite. Aman, don't be scared."
But Chen Fu seemed not to hear it.
He continued apologizing to himself, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Ning Wan felt somewhat helpless.
She stepped back slightly and cupped Shenfu's face in her hands.
Meeting Shen Fu's blank stare, Ningxia replied with utmost seriousness, "I forgive you. I accept Aman's apology."
Shen Fu murmured and repeated, "You forgive me?"
"Yes, so don't be afraid. Wanwan is fine, nothing's wrong. I'm right here."
With Ning Wan's comforting words, Shen Fu's anxiety and unease, which had been weighing on his mind, finally began to ease.
He buried his head in Ning Wan's arms once again.
His soft sobs turned into loud wailing. He lost control of his emotions and said, "Wanwan, I just had a dream... a really scary dream."
In the dream, Ning Wan's dying gaze remained unforgettable.
Those wide-open pupils and desperate eyes brought him to the brink of emotional collapse.
But thankfully, it was all just a dream.
The reality is that Ning Wan is still by his side.
She said she forgave him.
It was all just a dream...
...
"Dreams are all fake; it must be because you've been under too much stress lately."
Seeing that Shen Fu was still out of sorts, Ning Wan teased him, "Why do I feel like you're even less secure than I am lately? Shouldn't girls be more sensitive and prone to anxiety and insecurity?"
"No, that's not true..."
From Ning Wan's arms came a muffled, aggrieved sob: "A sense of security has absolutely nothing to do with gender."
It's only about love.
Because he loved Wanwan more than anyone else.
That's why he's even more afraid of losing Wanwan.
"Okay." Ning Wan stopped dwelling on that point and said, "Does Aman still remember what I told you that day?"
Ning Wan paused for a moment, then said, "I want to tell you all my secrets."
In addition to love and trust, communication and honesty are also very important for a relationship to last.
Since Shen Fu lacked a sense of security, she told him all her secrets.
Give him enough security...
...
Ning Wan's story is very short.
The introduction was completed in just a few minutes.
The small bedroom was extremely quiet, and Ning Wan waited patiently for Shen Fu's next reaction.
"So Wanwan means that this world is fake? We are all characters in a book?"
Ning Wan nodded.
The expected surprise and disbelief did not materialize. Instead, the unusually quiet demeanor of the speaker surprised her.
However, her still reddened eyes and pitiful tearful appearance were exactly the same as Ning Yanshu's when she was crying.
Ning Wan couldn't help but ask him, "Aren't you surprised?"
“Just a little bit…” Shen Fu wiped away his tears and answered truthfully.
To be honest, after experiencing so much, he could no longer firmly uphold his materialism.
After a moment's hesitation, he asked again, "In the book, is our ending not so good?"
Ning Wan was taken aback: "How could you..."
Shen Fu did not answer.
However, recalling what Grandma Chen said in the hospital, he already roughly understood what it meant.
However, knowing is one thing.
There's one more thing that Shen Fu felt it was necessary to reiterate: "I believe what Wanwan said, but there's one thing that's not right."
"Something's not right?" Ning Wan asked, puzzled. "What's wrong?"
“You are you.” Shen Fu affirmed, “It’s not some kind of transmigration into a book, nor is it possession. I’m certain that you are Wanwan.”
Shen Fu's overly determined gaze made Ning Wan doubt herself: "But... I don't remember anything from before."
If she really is the original owner of this body, why does she have no memory of it?
In many instances, her behavior and style were completely different from the original owner's.
Ning Wan also raised her doubts about this with Shen Fu.
"Perhaps something happened in the past that caused Wanwan to lose this part of her memory."
Actually, Shen Fuda could have just asked Grandma Chen about these issues.
But he didn't dare.
If knowing the whole truth requires harming her body, then Shen Fu would rather know nothing at all.
"So, I am Ning Wan, and Ning Wan is me?"
Once Ning Wan accepted this assumption and possibility, her mood suddenly underwent an extremely subtle change.
She is Xiaoshu's mother and Ningyou's younger sister.
She was the little girl who stayed with Shen Fu through those difficult years.
She didn't steal the original owner's life, nor did she steal the original owner's love.
In reality, there was no such thing as the original owner.
Because she is herself!
