It's already three o'clock in the morning.
All was silent.
The ward was quiet and silent.
When Ji Yuqi recovered from his nightmare, he looked over. Pei Yucheng, dressed in black home clothes, was sitting beside the bed. The dim yellow light, backlit, gave him a hazy golden edge, but his entire body exuded a dark aura even more sinister and chilling than the night outside the window, and he was exceptionally ruthless.
Ji Yuqi's heartbeat seemed to stop.
In the past two years, she clearly hasn't dreamed about that incident again.
It's obviously been a long time.
It was clearly just a nightmare.
But Ji Yuqi was still so scared that he lay down in the quilt, clutching the sheets tightly, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
"Ji Yuqi, who exactly did you say was dead?! You've been calling out 'Shang Yu' all night long. Who is he?! 'Shang', which Shang surname?! The most powerful member of the First Royal Family of Country M?! Five years ago, there was a turmoil in the First Royal Family of Country M, and the direct heir who was expelled from the family seemed to be named Shang Yu. Why are you calling out that man's name for no reason..."
Against the backlight, Pei Yucheng's handsome face with distinct lines melted into the light, becoming blurry. But his shiny black eyes were cold and stern, very frightening.
When Ji Yuqi heard him mention Shang Yu, he didn't even give him time to finish his words. He shouted excitedly, "Shang Yi, this has nothing to do with you!!!"
Ji Yuqi's voice was really loud.
The lingering sound lingered in the quiet ward for a long time.
The moment he saw Pei Yucheng pursed his lips calmly, Ji Yuqi knew that he was showing signs of anger.
So she bit her lip hard, then whispered, "In Country M's entertainment industry, powerful businessmen are naturally the ones that all female stars want to cling to. I've been in Country M's entertainment industry for so long, but I've never been able to climb up. Naturally, sometimes I want to take shortcuts, especially after Lu Yanjing's death..."
This time, before Ji Yuqi could finish his words, Pei Yucheng stood up quickly with a "whoosh", and then went straight to the study with a surging and cold breath.
The whole journey was like a storm passing through.
Bang~!
The study door was slammed shut.
The earth-shaking sound made the whole house seem to collapse.
Ji Yuqi lay on the bed, her eyes following Pei Yucheng's angry back. She wanted to smile, but her eyes were sore and painful...
…
Until dawn, Pei Yucheng never came out of the study again.
Ji Yuqi didn't get a good rest either.
Although I slept for several times in a daze, I never slept soundly.
I have recurring nightmares.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
When going to the bathroom to wash up, Ji Yuqi saw himself in the mirror. His face was pale, his lips were colorless, and he looked so haggard that he looked three parts human and seven parts ghost.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Dr. Zhou came to the ward for rounds, and Ji Yuqi came out of the kitchen carrying a pot of freshly cooked millet porridge.
Doctor Zhou saw this and casually said, "Eating breakfast too late will affect your lunch break. If you don't get enough nutrition, it will affect your body's recovery."
Ji Yuqi first glanced at the closed study, then replied calmly: "I was a little sleepy last night, so I got up late today."
"You're sleeping better, right?!" Dr. Zhou asked. "Is the wound not hurting as much anymore?!"
"Yeah, it's not as painful as it was the past two days."
"That's good," Dr. Zhou said. "I was worried about your slow healing. Now that the pain has subsided, it means you're recovering well. Go lie down on the bed first. I'll check your wound and see if you need a new prescription."
