When Mr. and Mrs. Xu heard the news, they rushed to the hospital and pushed open the door of the single VIP ward, but they only saw the assistant and the bed was empty.

The assistant stood up awkwardly: "Sir, Madam, Brother Li Zhi is not here..."

* In the elegantly decorated room, a small square table is covered with a beige cotton and linen tasseled tablecloth, and a thin mist with a faint floral scent rises from the humidifier.

Everything that caught my eye made the five words "Psychological Treatment Room" on the doorplate seem gentle.

Song Jin stared at the data on the testing instrument, his surprise and excitement evident in his eyes.

A circle of light-colored gauze curtains in the center of the room was pulled open.

Song Jin hurriedly stood up and walked over, the psychologist's ID card on his chest swaying with his steps. He looked at the man who sat up on the recliner with an almost congratulatory look: "Mr. Xu, you can finally fall into a deep sleep."

But when the other party heard it, there was no joy on his face.

Xu Lizhi had a blank expression on his face. Under the warm light from the room, his pair of silver-grey eyes seemed a little dim.

——He was taken to the hospital and underwent a full body check-up. He was told that there was nothing wrong with his physical condition and the injuries from the car accident had long since healed.

There was no known cause for his sudden fainting, and even the doctor couldn't explain it.

After learning which hospital he was in, Xu Lizhi paused for a moment and then took the initiative to go to the psychologist Song Jin who was recommended by his mother.

He has not come since that failed treatment.

So, when Song Jin saw Xu Lizhi, he was very surprised.

But what surprised him even more was that Xu Lizhi actually successfully entered a deep sleep.

You know, before this, Song Jin really tried every method, but it was still of no avail. For this reason, he even felt discouraged for a while.

Song Jin was almost impatient to ask Xu Lizhi whether he had sought another expert or tried any other method.

However.

Xu Lizhi's answer left Song Jin stunned.

"Nothing." He did nothing.

“…”

Song Jin paused and asked, "Then Mr. Xu, can you remember when your sleep started to improve?"

The man was silent for a few seconds, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking carefully, and then he admitted that his sleep quality seemed to be improving, and it had been going on for some time.

Finally, Xu Lizhi mentioned a date.

——A specific date.

It's accurate to the month and day.

This surprised Song Jin a little.

Xu Lizhi gathered his thoughts and lowered his eyes. The emotions in his eyes could not be seen clearly. The reason why he could remember it so clearly was because -

It's quiet inside.

The man's voice was particularly low, and his eyes stayed on a white flower in the vase beside the table: "That day, I found a fairy tale book that I had lost for a long time."

That night, for the first time ever, he lay in bed, and his brain nerves, which were always tense in the past, felt unprecedented relaxation, and the long time it took to fall asleep was suddenly halved.

And that was the first time that he did not wake up in the middle of the night and slept through the morning.

At first, he just thought it was because of the car accident that made him feel tired and ill.

But since that day, the insomnia symptoms have gradually eased every day.

Until I heard Song Jin say it clearly.

His insomnia seemed to be cured.

* Weibo is particularly lively tonight.

The official Weibo account of the “Power” crew released a news update - Princess A Zhao’s auditions have all ended.

In the afternoon of that day.

The audition videos of the six female artists in the third round have been sorted out and uploaded to the official website of the game at the same time, with their names and numbers attached and arranged in order.

There is a real-name voting window to the right of each person’s avatar.

Voting opens promptly at 8pm.

All the players had been waiting in front of the screen, impatiently, and before the show started, they couldn't help but excitedly post on the topic #I most want her to play A Zhao#.

I have to say.

After so many years, the player community of "Power" is still huge, and the dynamics under this topic are increasing by hundreds or even thousands per second.

Not only the players are looking forward to it, but the female artists who are candidates for the role of A Zhao are also nervous.

For example, Wan Lei.

* The packaged dinner purchased from an expensive restaurant was left sitting on the side of the coffee table.

Wan Lei had no appetite to eat at the moment. She curled up on the sofa, holding her cell phone and scrolling through the topics non-stop.

The agent walked in and saw this, and sighed helplessly: "I say you don't have to do this, I just looked around, you have the highest number of votes, your name accounts for a large proportion of the topic, don't worry, you are very stable."

Wan Lei didn't even raise her head: "I'm not looking at myself."

broker:"?"

When the agent walked by, he saw Wan Lei searching for keywords in the topic search bar.

——Sheng Yuan.

broker:"???"

Wan Lei stared at the screen of her phone, and suddenly she sighed, surprised and gloating: "I didn't even see her name."

The agent, on the other hand, didn't look surprised at all, and said calmly, "What's the big deal? It's normal."

The agent had already told Wan Lei to relax and not to be so nervous or take this female artist named Sheng Yuan too seriously.

The recommendation voting for A Zhao started a year ago. At that time, Wan Lei's popularity had already reached an unprecedented level. If it weren't for the sudden retirement of actor Shi, Wan Lei might have played A Zhao. The filming would have been completed by now, so there would be no chance for anyone else.

So the agent wondered, with Wan Lei's popularity far surpassing everyone else's, would she still be afraid of a mere up-and-coming talent? Wan Lei didn't want to either.

She was really determined to get the role of A Zhao and was very confident, and she felt that among all the auditioners, no one had a better chance of winning than herself.

At least, that's what she thought during the first two rounds of auditions.

If you say.

Wan Lei was disdainful when she saw Sheng Yuan in the first round of audition.

Seeing Sheng Yuan in the second round of audition, Wan Lei was slightly surprised for two seconds, but she was still not afraid.

Then, after seeing Sheng Yuan in the third round of auditions, Wan Lei's originally firm self-confidence was instantly shaken.

A short time.

The progress of this female artist was so fast that it caught people off guard. The changes in the eyes of Director Hu and the producers were the most obvious and powerful explanation, which made Wan Lei panic.

But now.

Wan Lei felt relieved when she saw the dynamic topics on Weibo.

Under the topic, almost no players mentioned Sheng Yuan's name.

Occasionally, those mentioned are all——

[Sheng Yuan? Who is she? What costume dramas has she acted in? I don’t have any impression of her???]
