Su Man leaned against the door, her heart beating like thunder, but her face remained calm. "What are you going to do to help him? Lock me in here?"
"Of course not."
Ning Mu said gently, "He just wants you to meet A Zi."
"I've already met her."
"No, I haven't introduced you yet."
Ning Mu tilted his head and took a look, then smiled. "This lock cannot be opened without a key, so don't bother trying."
Su Man withdrew her hands from behind her back. She was not embarrassed by being exposed, but bargained with Ning Mu, "If I get to know her, I can leave."
"Yeah." Ning Mu explained, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just want to repay him."
...
Su Man knew that if Ning Mu didn't let her go, she would not be able to leave.
She just discovered that the entire room was soundproofed. Since she came in, she could not hear any sound from outside, so even if she shouted at the top of her lungs, no one would know she was here.
So she stopped struggling and followed Ning Mu towards the bedroom.
Ning Mu entered the bedroom first. He gently placed a pillow behind A Zi's back and asked her to get up a little. "A Zi, my student is here to see you. Get up."
At this moment, the bedroom door was wide open, and Su Man finally saw the scene inside.
Thick blackout curtains blocked out the sunlight, and at the head of the bed was the equipment that sustained her life.
She had tubes inserted all over her body, and the faint mist inside the tubes proved that she was still alive.
Su Man walked to the bedside and looked at the thin and withered woman. Her chest seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, and every time she breathed, there was a rustling sound.
She couldn't help but ask, "Does she want to live like this?"
Ning Mu paused as he supported her shoulder. After placing Ah Zi in a safe place, he said, "Ah Zi's illness causes her to hallucinate. In her eyes, she lives in an extremely horrible situation. Sometimes, it feels like she's burning in a raging fire, sometimes it's as cold as an ice cellar, and even like a thousand ants are gnawing at her heart. But even so, she persisted. She always said that the environment around her was so horrible, and she couldn't bear to leave me alone."
Ning Mu held A Zi's hand, his voice hoarse, "So, I know that no matter what, she will be with me."
He lowered his head and kissed A Zi's hand, as devout as a believer.
Suman was silent.
She didn't know what to make of it, nor did she want to make any comment.
In fact, everyone has a paranoid side.
Some people love money so much that they would even abandon their loved ones for it.
Some people love their children and can do anything for their children.
There are millions of people in the world, and millions of things that we are reluctant to let go of.
Some things can be forgotten gradually with the passage of time, while some things become more and more difficult to extricate oneself from the mind as time goes by.
Just like that person...
Suddenly, Su Man understood his intention.
He probably wanted her to understand from this incident that she was to him just like A Zi was to Ning Mu.
He would never let her go, even if she died, he would bring her back from the brink of death.
Looking at A Zi's appearance, Su Man's heart slowly sank to the bottom.
