After her dramatic cousin stopped acting up, the aloof doctor got anxious.

She has come back?

Thinking of this, she felt a strange sense of belonging.

Like fallen leaves returning to their roots, or weary birds returning to their nests.

"...Getting rid of a man is so easy, sister. I'll share 108 tricks with you, each one leaving him with no chance to stay..."

Zhou Lan continued nagging, her tone filled with disappointment and frustration.

Shen Ru smiled inwardly.

Zhou Lan's boasting became increasingly eloquent.

What are the 108 tricks to get rid of a man?

Her relationship with Wei Jing was always chaotic and tumultuous.

and many more.

What did Zhou Lan say at the beginning?

She and Qi Wenshen... broke up?

How is that possible?

Then, memories flooded back.

Shen Ru cursed that Shen Ru eight hundred times in her heart.

Is something wrong with you?

If you don't want to live, please don't torture my body, okay?

Do you not know how painful this incision is?

You've gone back to the real world to enjoy life's pleasures, leaving me alone to suffer.

Shen Ruo was so angry she wanted to scratch the wall.

There's also Qi Wenshen.

The male lead, Qi Wenshen, whom she finally won over.

She actually wants to break up?

"...The eighth tactic is to use passive-aggressive tactics to make him give up; the ninth tactic is to move his belongings to create the illusion of separation; the tenth tactic..."

Zhou Lan's voice suddenly stopped.

She stared at Shen Ruo for several seconds.

Just now... why did she feel like Shen Ruo was laughing at her?

She leaned closer, her nose almost touching Shen Ruo's face.

His eyes were not open.

Breathing is steady.

I might have just imagined it.

After all, the lights in the ICU were too dazzling, and she had been watching over them for too long, causing her eyes to become blurry.

Zhou Lan straightened up and rubbed her temples.

She checked the time; it was 3 a.m., and Xiao Chen had half an hour to take over the shift.

She dared not leave; last time, she had only been gone for a short while, and Shen Ruo had torn her to shreds, leaving her covered in blood.

When they needed to add more staff to the ward for care, she was worried and immediately volunteered to come.

Shen Ruo listened in a half-dreaming, half-awake state, feeling both bittersweet and tender.

This guy must have gone searching for bean buns again.

"……orchid……"

She tried to speak, but only a faint breath escaped her lips.

Zhou Lan didn't hear it.

"The twenty-third move: expose his shortcomings in public and make him lose face."

Suddenly I felt something touch my finger.

She looked down and saw Shen Ruo's fingers moving, gently hooking her palm.

Zhou Lan was overjoyed, "Sister, you're awake?"

Shen Ruo's voice was hoarse, "You... the twenty-third move... didn't work..."

Zhou Lan was stunned for a second.

Then he burst into tears, lunged at her to hug her, but then remembered her injuries and stopped himself, instead holding her hand instead. Tears and snot streamed down his face as he cried, "You, you, you scared me to death! You bastard, you idiot, you son of a bitch..."

Shen Ruo forced a smile, wincing in pain, "Don't scold me, it's not good for the baby to hear."

Zhou Lan laughed and cried at the same time, "You're still laughing? Do you know you almost died?"

"..."

Qi Wenshen stood outside the window of the intensive care unit.

I saw that the person lying in bed had woken up.

Zhou Lan bent down and chatted with her.

He took a step forward almost instinctively, his hand already on the doorknob, with only one thought in his mind.

He rushed in and warned her not to touch that body again.

But he held back his anger.

He was afraid that if he went in, the person he had finally managed to save would be so frightened that they would need emergency medical attention again.

Xiao Chen came to take over the shift.

Seeing Qi Wenshen standing by the window, he greeted him and went inside.

Xiao Chen noticed that Zhou Lan's eyes were red.

"What's wrong?"

"My sister just woke up."

"Really, that's great."

Dr. Liu said that if the patient can wake up, the danger level will be lower.

Zhou Lan pushed open the door and came out, her eyes still a little red.

Qi Wenshen stepped aside to let Zhou Lan pass by, and asked, "What did she talk to you about?"

Zhou Lan glanced at him, wiped her eyes, and said, "It's a secret."

Qi Wenshen stood guard in the corridor for a while, and seeing that Xiao Chen was guarding inside, he left.

Shen Ruo closed her eyes, slowly digesting the new memory in her mind.

Qi Wenshen has already realized that the person from a few days ago was not her.

A complex mix of emotions welled up inside her, a mixture of joy and trepidation.

I was happy that he recognized me.

She was worried about how he would view her.

Will he treat her like some kind of evil spirit or monster, and avoid her at all costs?

For the next few days, Shen Ruo did not see Qi Wenshen.

The first thing she does every morning when she wakes up is look at the door to see if it has been opened.

Was it him who pushed me away?

But every time the door was pushed open, it wasn't him who came in.

The little bit of expectation in her heart sank little by little.

So he really did mind.

After Qi Wenshen found out that the person wasn't her, he probably really started to see her as some kind of ominous creature.

Shen Ruo leaned listlessly against the headboard, her fingers unconsciously clutching the corner of the blanket.

When Xiao Chen came in to change her IV drip, he saw her like this.

"What's wrong again?"

Shen Ruo, "Have you seen Qi Wenshen?"

Xiao Chen glanced at her a couple more times. "What? Didn't you say you didn't want to see him? Now you want to see him?"

Shen Ruo hummed in agreement.

Xiao Chen clicked his tongue and hung the newly replaced IV bottle on the shelf. "I used to hear people say that women are fickle, but I didn't believe it. Now I've finally seen it for myself."

She adjusted the drip rate. "You were acting like you were going to die after breaking up with her a few days ago, and now you're all listless after Dr. Qi hasn't come for a few days? What kind of behavior is this?"

Shen Ruo did not respond.

She had unspeakable bitterness in her heart; those words of breaking up were spoken by another Shen Ruo.

Those suicidal actions were also the work of another Shen.

But when she came back, she had to clean up the mess herself.

She couldn't possibly explain it to Xiao Chen.

"Where's my phone?"

She remembered that she had smashed her phone before, and she didn't know if she had retrieved it.

Xiao Chen thought for a moment, "It should be with Dr. Qi. The day you had the accident, your phone fell on the ground and the screen shattered. He took it and said he would fix it for you."

Shen Ruo bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke up, "Then you call him for me."

Xiao Chen was stunned. "Really?"

"A real fight."

Shen Ruo nodded.

Xiao Chen glanced at her, making sure she was serious, before taking out his phone, finding Qi Wenshen's number, and dialing it.

It rang twice before they answered.

Xiao Chen handed the phone to Shen Ruo, who took it and held it to her ear. She heard a cold voice on the other end ask, "Feed? What? Is she trying to kill herself again?"

Shen Ruo spoke, her voice a little hoarse and a little bittersweet, "Brother Wen Shen..."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

She heard Qi Wenshen's breathing pause in the receiver, then become heavier.

Several seconds passed before she heard him speak, and she asked in disbelief, "Ruo Ruo...?"

Shen Ruo's eyes instantly reddened, and her voice was filled with grievance, "Brother Wen Shen, why don't you come to see me?"

It's been a few days.

Not even a shadow of them.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Wait, I'll be right there."

The phone hangs up.

Shen Ruo returned the phone to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen took the phone and glanced at her. "So? Is Dr. Qi coming?"

"Come."
