Chapter 101 Awakening
Jing Rong had a very long dream. In the dream, she seemed to be locked up by something. The whole world was dark, she could not hear any sound, and she herself had no consciousness. She felt like... dead. But at the same time, she knew very well that this was just a dream. Her consciousness was completely awake, but the dream separated her from the outside world.
What kind of dream could have such power, separating her so completely? Jingrong was not without her doubts. The long, endless wait had made her aware of something unusual, but after much reflection, she still preferred to call it a dream. Jingrong was certain that she had indeed been deceived by the original owner. Xue Jingrong herself had no idea how she had traveled through time and space. She had simply made a quick decision upon discovering her existence, conning Jingrong, who had no choice but to accept her terms, into agreeing to her terms. Whether she could complete the mission or not, it would not be a loss to the already deceased Xue Jingrong.
After figuring this out, Jingrong did not feel angry. In fact, she would accept Xue Jingrong's conditions. She was also in a desperate mood. If she failed, she would die. Because there was really no other way, she could not miss any opportunity to go home. If one year did not work, then two years, three years, because she was not sure whether she could really go back, otherwise Jingrong would have chosen to go all out. Xue Jingrong did not care about this body, and she would not care about it even more.
But she couldn't be sure that if she died here, she would be able to go back. If she ended up like Xue Jingrong, there would really be nothing she could do. Jingrong would not choose such an absolute method unless it was absolutely necessary.
But now, it seems that there is really no other way.
Jingrong didn't feel sad either. She was actually in a very good mood. She couldn't stay in this place anyway and there was nothing to be nostalgic about. She might as well die. Maybe she could find Xue Jingrong and avenge herself. Although she knew that Xue Jingrong didn't have the ability to summon her, and Xue Jingrong should be on the verge of death now, because she could feel the throbbing coming from her heart, the amplitude was so strong that it could almost drown a person. Jingrong just felt happy and refreshed. For Xue Jingrong, that hopeless woman, even President Xue's death could not move her. There was definitely only one person in this world who could make her have such a big reaction.
Quan Zhilong. Jingrong knew that no matter how similar the disguises were, even if the two of them looked exactly the same, she was not Xue Jingrong, and she could never become her. This difference might not be clear to others. No matter how good the relationship between Xue Jingrong's friends was, they were just friends, and President Xue had never been close enough to her, so people would not think about it strangely for no reason. But there was one person who could not be hidden. Quan Zhilong and the original owner Xue Jingrong were lovers. It was true that they were not very close, but since Jingrong came to take the mission, she became closer and closer to him day by day, and they even slept in the same bed for a long time. Quan Zhilong was sensitive and thoughtful, so she could not notice it at first. Later, Jingrong could sense that he was gradually wavering, probably just because he liked her very much at that time and did not want to doubt it.
Jing Rong never dared to underestimate G-Dragon. If someone became suspicious, her changes that were completely different from the original owner would be easily seen through. A big part of the reason why she was determined not to imitate the original owner's personality and behavior was to prevent the other party from going back on his word. Although the damage had been done, she could at least make it clear to G-Dragon, so that he could feel relieved and move on faster after knowing the truth. After all, she was not really indifferent to him, but the current situation made her unable to be moved. Then she could let go of her guilt, either go back or disappear, at least without any psychological burden.
So, Jing Rong guessed that Quan Zhilong must have discovered that something was wrong between them long ago, and now his body must have been controlled by the original owner. It was because Quan Zhilong knew and said something that made the other party so heartbroken, to such an extent that even she could feel it. For the first time since knowing Quan Zhilong, Jing Rong felt that he was really good. No, it should be said that he was so good that she felt refreshed. If she wasn't unable to move, Jing Rong really wanted to applaud and celebrate.
Just as Jingrong was feeling the throbbing in her chest and her mind wandering, suddenly a flash of white light passed by, and she seemed to be able to open her eyes, but this scene was so unreal that it seemed to be just a small theater in her own mind. Then, a figure moved towards her. It was Xue Jingrong, who was dressed like a "Shamatte"! Before Jingrong could speak, the other party looked at her in a hospital gown with wide eyes, and seemed very confused. Then she laughed, from a low laugh to a loud laugh and finally to madness. She laughed for a long time. Xue Jingrong looked at Jingrong with an unstable breath: "Haha, you can't go back. Don't even think about going back in this life. You can't go back even if you die..."
Jing Rong's eyebrows jumped, and he looked at her gloomily: "What do you mean?"
"Hahahaha..." Xue Jingrong didn't answer. She just felt refreshed. That arrogant man actually said that he didn't regret treating her like that before. Even though he knew the outcome, even though he knew he would get hurt, he didn't regret loving this woman afterwards... How could he do that? What qualifications did this woman have to be treated like that without regrets! If she hadn't been occupying her body, how could she have let such an arrogant woman look at her even once!
Xue Jingrong was so furious when she heard those words that her heart was broken. However, she was powerless and didn't even have the strength to refute him. In the end, she just collapsed in front of him. So, how could she possibly tell Jingrong now? When she first saw this woman, the transparent body was her own, and now even in this scene, this woman is still her Xue Jingrong. What else can it mean? She wants to go back, but it's just a dream. She also wants her to taste the feeling of not being able to get what she wants. It would be best if she had no other choice but to commit suicide, and then everything would be gone. Hahaha!
Jing Rong was a little uneasy about Xue Jingrong's crazy behavior. She wanted to go forward and ask Xue Jingrong to explain clearly. However, as soon as she took a step forward, the person in front of her disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, starting from his limbs and then to his whole body. Soon there was nothing left. Jing Rong lowered her head and looked around, but could not find any trace at all.
Xue Jingrong had truly disappeared. Jingrong sat down on the ground, staring ahead with a dejected and empty look. Suddenly, she realized she had regained her intuition. Someone held her hand, looked at her elsewhere, and then seemed to be saying something to the person next to her.
"Don't worry, President Xue just fell asleep. She hasn't had a drop of water all day and she must be unable to hold on any longer. While this gentleman is here and she's in good condition, go find some food and wake her up later to replenish her energy."
The doctor instructed Secretary Lin, then smiled at G-Dragon and left. Secretary Lin also quickly went to get food. The ward became quiet again. G-Dragon moved a stool and sat next to the bed. Looking at Jing Rong's peaceful and calm sleeping face, his heart softened a little, and a feeling of heartache and sadness surged in his heart. G-Dragon moved the stool over, leaned against the bed, held Jing Rong's left hand with both hands, and stroked it carefully.
He had just witnessed her faint before him, but he wasn't alarmed. He was completely certain that the person wasn't Jingrong. Or, to explain it with a split personality, it was her past twenty-something years, and one day, after some kind of trauma, a second personality emerged—the one he loved. As for that personality's claim that Jingrong was interested in Yongbae, G-Dragon didn't believe it. It was simply jealousy that he loved Jingrong instead of her, and was deliberately trying to provoke him. He knew his childhood sweetheart better than anyone else, as they only met after he knew Jingrong was his girlfriend. He absolutely wouldn't develop any feelings for Jingrong beyond friendship! Besides, the usually clueless Taeyang had already mentioned a recent close relationship with a friend who he felt a potential future with, and Seungri had hinted that she was a model with a nice figure. So, G-Dragon dismissed Seol Jingrong's nonsense without a second thought.
What he's most worried about now is what if she can't come back? How can he make that first personality disappear completely? It would be best if it never appears again! Thinking of this, a dark look flashed in Quan Zhilong's eyes. He is not a pitiful person who can be bullied. He keeps bowing in front of Jing Rong just because he wants to, because he loves her. It doesn't mean that she can be so arrogant just because she shares the same body with Jing Rong.
Thinking of this, G-Dragon held Jing Rong's hand a little tighter, his eyes staying on her face. Seeing her slightly furrowed brows for a second, he immediately relaxed a little, lowered his head to look at Jing Rong's fair hand, kissed the back of her hand with infinite tenderness, then turned over, ready to lower his head to kiss her palm. When his eyes touched the shallow mark on her white wrist, his whole body stiffened.
At that moment, G-Dragon wanted to grab the person on the bed and interrogate her. She had hurt him so deeply, so thoroughly, that he even thought he'd never fully recover, and he hadn't even considered the thought. What right did she have to do such a thing?! And, was this how Jung Yunho took care of her?! The thought of that possibility filled G-Dragon with unstoppable rage. Every time he thought he was feeling the worst, she would suddenly appear, pushing his pain point even higher. But in the face of that possibility, he realized all the pain was nothing. He'd rather be hurt forever, and have her constantly show affection with Jung Yunho in front of him, than have her completely disappear. He could tolerate her not being his, but he couldn't accept not seeing her.
Just when Quan Zhilong wanted to wake Jingrong up, there was a knock on the door. He paused, and finally came to his senses. He said in a deep voice, "Come in."
Secretary Lin brought a lot of food, put them all on the coffee table, and then opened all the food, looking reluctant to stay any longer: "Gd xi, please wake up our president and take care of her to eat something. I don't know what you like to eat, so I just bought some. I hope you don't mind. I still have work to do over there, so I won't stay any longer..." He looked like he couldn't wait to make room for them.
"Thank you." Quan Zhilong nodded, but called her, "Secretary Lin, please wait a moment."
"What else do you want me to do?"
"Jingrong...when did she start to change so drastically?"
"It was last night, when the president passed away."
"Oh." Quan Zhilong nodded and took Jingrong's left hand again, showing her the scar. "Then may I ask, when did you get this injury?"
"It was also last night." Secretary Lin's heart skipped a beat, but he still said honestly, "It should have been around the time when the president passed away."
"I see. Thank you."
"You're welcome." Secretary Lin bowed and was about to leave when he looked up and saw the dark circles under G-Dragon's eyes. He couldn't help but say, "GD xi, please take care of yourself too. I don't think the president would want to see you looking haggard."
Quan Zhilong paused holding the spoon and nodded, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Secretary Lin smiled, then left the ward and closed the door again.
G-Dragon looked back at the sleeping Jingrong, preferring to believe that he was overthinking it. It must be that personality that couldn't bear to see them doing well, so he wanted to commit suicide, separating them forever... G-Dragon calmed down, lowered his head to put the tableware in order, then carefully carried the warm porridge and leaned over to wake Jingrong up, "Jingrong... get up and eat something..."
Jing Rong heard the gentle call in her ear, struggled a bit, and finally opened her eyes, but she had been in the dark environment for too long and was not used to the current brightness, so she closed her eyes again. In Quan Zhilong's eyes, this action seemed as if she was very reluctant to see herself. Quan Zhilong felt a pain in his heart, and reluctantly explained as if nothing had happened: "I heard about... this matter. I just wanted to come to see you, nothing else..."
Although he felt hurt, G-Dragon was still quite relieved. With just one glance, he knew that Jing Rong was back. Confirming this was better than anything else.
Jing Rong felt that she should be able to bear it. After all, it was evening and the light was not too glaring. So she opened her eyes again, turned her head and smiled at Quan Zhilong, "Thank you."
This distant yet polite attitude clearly hurt Quan Zhilong once again, but Quan Zhilong had prepared himself for Jingrong's dislike before coming here, so after a while of feeling uncomfortable, he got used to it, although he had never thought he could be so humble before. Quan Zhilong just shook his head and said, "I heard you haven't eaten all day. Have some porridge to replenish your energy."
Jingrong wasn't the only one who hadn't eaten all day. He had only had a simple breakfast. He had traveled from Indonesia to Seoul in just one day, so he had no appetite.
Jing Rong glanced at Quan Zhilong who was carrying something. He reminded her that the aroma filled her nose. Jing Rong felt really hungry, so she supported herself on the bed with both hands and prepared to sit up. Quan Zhilong saw this and quickly put down the things in his hands and put his arms around Jing Rong's waist. Jing Rong wanted to keep a distance from him, but her body was too weak. Her arms softened and she slid down, falling right into Quan Zhilong's arms. Quan Zhilong put a pillow under the head of the bed and let Jing Rong lean against him. He also lifted her quilt upwards. Although these movements were not skillful, they were gentle, as if he treated Jing Rong as fragile crystal.
After Quan Zhilong settled Jingrong down, he picked up the porridge bowl again, holding the spoon in one hand. Jingrong was about to reach out to take it: "Thank you, you probably haven't eaten yet, let's eat together..."
Jing Rong's outstretched hand hit nothing. Quan Zhilong moved his upper body and hand away, his face calm, "You haven't recovered your strength yet, don't spill the porridge."
Jingrong refused, but G-Dragon was unmoved, so she finally let him serve her the porridge spoonful by spoonful. Because the original owner had completely disappeared, their agreement was no longer valid, and Jingrong also planned to make things clear with G-Dragon. She automatically jumped out of the role of Xue Jingrong, and now seeing G-Dragon's intimacy with her, she felt uncomfortable no matter how she looked at it. But because G-Dragon didn't know the truth yet, she was worried that if she refused too much, she would hurt him more deeply. Jingrong could only feel uncomfortable in her heart, but still followed G-Dragon's actions and opened and closed her mouth.
Since G-Dragon had no experience and no talent, in order not to make Jingrong angry, he could only feed the porridge to him carefully little by little. So it took almost half an hour to make a bowl of porridge. He didn't even know that it had gone from being the right temperature to being cold. Jingrong just sighed in his heart, but didn't remind him that the atmosphere was actually quite good when they didn't talk. At least after knocking on the door and coming in, Zhang Jingran was completely surprised to see this scene. He didn't expect that G-Dragon could not only get their president to let him stay, but even get their president to eat obediently. He should have returned to normal - so quickly!
Zhang Jingran's face remained expressionless, but he couldn't help but think less of Quan Zhilong. It seemed he had taken things for granted before. Quan Zhilong's bowl of porridge was almost empty, and when he saw Zhang Jingran come in, he started clearing the bowl, saying, "Eat this first, and we'll have dinner later."
Jing Rong nodded and glanced at the things on the small coffee table: "You should eat something first."
Quan Zhilong smiled and said, "Okay."
"Ahem." Zhang Jingran coughed, interrupting their polite but, to outsiders, affectionate interaction. "The doctor said you fainted again, President, so I came to see how you're doing."
"It's all right now." Jing Rong smiled. "I'm sorry to bother you with all the things I've been doing these days."
"No trouble." Zhang Jingran also smiled comfortably. Now he was sure that Jingrong had fully recovered. "Just take care of yourself. It's not too late to go back to work when you feel better."
Jing Rong nodded without objection: "I think so too."
"Since the president is fine, I'll go back first."
"Okay, let them all go back. I'll be discharged from the hospital soon."
Jing Rong's words made the two men present turn their nervous gazes towards her again. Jing Rong just chuckled and said, "I know my own body well. There's nothing serious. I should go back and recuperate. Staying here will only make my condition worse."
Zhang Jingran immediately thought of President Xue, so he stopped objecting: "What the president said is not completely unreasonable. Let's let the doctor take a look. If there is no problem, we can go back..."
Quan Zhilong said in a deep voice: "I will go back with you."
Zhang Jingran was surprised and was about to say something, but Jingrong thought they needed time to talk it over, so he didn't object and just said politely, "Thank you for your help."
Quan Zhilong pursed his lips and said nothing. Zhang Jingran also had nothing to say. After chatting for a few more words, he hurriedly said goodbye and took the two people next to him away. There must be a lot of people who care about Jingrong these days. I’m afraid they will let someone know. The best way is to prevent them from knowing that it was Quan Zhilong who accompanied Jingrong back home after being discharged from the hospital! Oh, and the doctors and nurses must be explained. I’m not afraid of others, but I’m afraid that the real Zheng Yunhao will find out and cause misunderstandings. With such a worrying president, Vice President Zhang suddenly realized the difficult road ahead.
The author has something to say: I feel sleepy all of a sudden. Can I apply to extend the next update to tomorrow morning?┭┮﹏┭┮
