"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, are you alright?" Lin Tingfeng, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed watching over Ye Wenyu, stood up, bent down, and looked at her with concern. He held one of her cold little hands and saw that her face was pale and she was covered in sweat.
When Ye Wenyu saw Lin Tingfeng appear before her again, wearing a black coat and with eyes full of concern and inquiry, she was so frightened that she froze. A huge fear gripped her heart, making her unable to move. She stared at him blankly like a puppet.
Is this a dream or reality?
Is it a continuation of the nightmare, or has something real happened?
She felt increasingly terrified, every inch of her skin taut, sweat pouring down her body like rain. She felt as if the dream was layered upon layer, and she kept trying to escape, but no matter how she tried, she remained trapped in the terrifying dream. In each dream, Lin Tingfeng was waiting for her!
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans slowly seeped from his forehead, and his lips trembled uncontrollably as if they contained scalding hot oil.
Lin Tingfeng asked her with concern, "Did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, I'm here with you."
If these words hadn't been said, it would have been fine. But as soon as they were said, Ye Wenyu immediately covered her face with her hands and screamed hysterically. She let out an extremely loud scream, and her whole demeanor was terrifying to the extreme.
She tried desperately to escape the terrifying dream, but no matter what she did, she couldn't break free. The demon kept saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here with you."
But what terrifies her most is that he's by her side!
Lin Tingfeng, however, thought she was still trapped in a nightmare and terrified. So, he considerately reached out and held her tightly in his arms. His chest was burning hot. Ye Wenyu screamed even louder, her whole body trembling as if she were being electrocuted. She shrieked, "Let me go, let me go!" Her voice was hoarse from fear.
Her terrified screams attracted the hospital's on-duty doctors and nurses. The ward lights were turned on, and Lin Tingfeng awkwardly released Ye Wenyu.
Ye Wenyu finally calmed down, her face as pale as paper, her clothes soaked with sweat.
The doctor glanced at Lin Tingfeng, then at Ye Wenyu. When he came in, he saw Lin Tingfeng with his arm around Ye Wenyu. Although he knew Lin Tingfeng might be a wealthy man, he was a very fair and just person. Therefore, he said to Ye Wenyu, "Should we call the police?"
Ye Wenyu stared blankly at the doctor.
Lin Tingfeng thought the doctor must have misunderstood, thinking he was going to do something immoral in the dead of night. His face flushed, and he slowly explained, "Doctor, you've misunderstood. Xiaoyu is my friend. I brought her to the hospital. She had a nightmare, and I was just comforting her."
The doctor ignored Lin Tingfeng and his side of the story, keeping his eyes fixed on Ye Wenyu as he earnestly asked, "Is that so?"
At this moment, seeing the brightly lit ward and the crowded room full of doctors and nurses, Ye Wenyu finally came to her senses. She reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead, saying to the doctor, "I just had a nightmare."
The doctors and nurses breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Tingfeng's tense heart finally settled back into his chest.
Ye Wenyu looked at Lin Tingfeng, then at the doctors and nurses, and said to them, "I want some water."
Everything she experienced in her dream felt real. She was running desperately in the dream, almost to the point of exhaustion, sweating profusely, and nearly dehydrated. Therefore, what she wanted most was water.
Fatigue surged from within my body in waves, like the tides.
Lin Tingfeng immediately poured a glass of water and handed it to Ye Wenyu. Ye Wenyu glanced at him, said nothing, took the glass, and drank the whole glass of water in one gulp.
The doctor and nurses then left, relieved.
Ye Wenyu finally came to her senses and realized that she had just reunited with Lin Tingfeng in a dream. Now that she was awake, she had injured her leg and was hospitalized. Lin Tingfeng had brought her to the hospital, and he had paid for her hospitalization.
This is her second life after her rebirth. She and Lin Tingfeng are just ordinary people who met by chance. Nothing terrible happened between them, and they have no complicated relationship.
He was there because he was worried about her that night, so he went to the hospital to see her again.
She told herself to control her emotions. The things of the previous life were in the past, and after reflecting on this life, she realized that although Lin Tingfeng had committed heinous crimes in the previous life, she had also made mistakes. Therefore, she would not pursue the matter further. Life is only once, and no one can have a second chance. She was lucky enough to have a second life, so she should cherish it and live a happy and peaceful life.
Therefore, she composed herself, looked at Lin Tingfeng, and said to him, "I'm sorry about what happened earlier." She was overwhelmed by immense fear and dread, and appeared extremely tired and weak, her voice as light as a willow catkin in spring.
Lin Tingfeng smiled slightly and said gently to her, "It's alright. I know you had a nightmare. I often have nightmares too. Nightmares are very scary."
He slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.
He has nightmares too? This fearless, cunning man has nightmares? Yes, she remembered, he seemed to have nightmares frequently. Therefore, in her previous life—
Ye Wenyu glanced at him again. She couldn't help but recall her previous life. After being with Lin Tingfeng, she would sometimes hear him shouting in the middle of the night. At that time, she would always get up out of curiosity, run barefoot to his bedroom to peek, and find him with his eyes closed, veins bulging on his forehead, sweat pouring down his face, and his body trembling violently. She knew he was having a nightmare.
She would always kindly run into the room to wake him up. Once he woke up and saw her, he would become fully aware of his surroundings, then pull her into his arms and hold her tightly.
At that time, he was exceptionally gentle with her, as if she were his most precious treasure and his lifeline.
Even now, she still doesn't know what kind of nightmare it was that tormented him all his life, or what kind of obsession caused it.
But she knew that what he said was true.
Ye Wenyu recalled what had happened during the day. She was hospitalized with no one to take care of her, and she was exhausted, hungry, and needed to use the restroom. It was Yuanyuan who appeared in time and took care of her for the entire day. Although Yuanyuan did not admit that Lin Tingfeng had asked her to come, Ye Wenyu knew without asking that this was probably the case.
She looked at Lin Tingfeng and said to him gratefully and politely, "Thank you for asking Yuanyuan to take care of me."
Because she didn't want to have too much entanglement with him, she was eager to sever ties with him in this life. Therefore, when he was taking care of her in the hospital, she asked him to leave. Lin Tingfeng respected her opinion and left, but called her only friend Yuan Yuan to take care of her. It was obvious that Yuan Yuan would come early the next morning to take care of her for the whole day, and then Lin Tingfeng would come to take care of her when she went back in the evening.
