Looking up, they saw the ambulance take a turn and disappear from sight.

"No worries, we'll have time on the plane..."

An Le was about to speak to comfort, but her words caught in her throat.

Because she also suddenly remembered.

Xiao Huan came looking for Ye Shiyu right after getting off the plane, never bought a phone.

Earlier, he was using Sakuragi Hitomi's phone, but now the phone has been returned to Sakuragi Hitomi...

Which means, right now, neither of them knew where Ye Shiyu and Yan Huan were headed.

"Huh?!"

At the hotel entrance, An Le and Sakuragi Hitomi exchanged a glance, simultaneously showing a look of panic.

...

...

"The patient didn't lose much blood, and the wounds on her hands are very shallow, so there's not much of an issue.

"But if she has any mental illness, as a family member, you need to watch her closely and prevent her from self-harming again.

"The main issue is she hasn't eaten for a while, which is why she's so weak..."

At the hospital room door, the doctor looked at the report in his hand and said to Yan Huan,

"Now that we've given her some glucose, her condition is much improved."

"Got it, thank you, doctor."

Yan Huan nodded, glancing at the hospital room.

The white curtain draped down, obscuring the scene inside in a dim manner.

But he knew that Ye Shiyu was lying inside alone.

Seeing this, the doctor tucked the report under his arm, planning to leave,

"The patient has woken up, you should go in to visit. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now; remember to pay the fees later."

"Alright."

Yan Huan thanked the doctor again, then turned to look at the tightly closed door and glanced at the empty hallway around him, feeling a stirring in his heart.

Now that Sakuragi and An Le are not around, being alone with Ye Shiyu is a godsend opportunity.

Well then...

Let's begin.

After a second of silence, he took a deep breath and instantly donned a mask of expression management.

In an instant, his face was infused with a bit of worry.

"Clack~"

Then, he pulled the door handle down and walked in.

The room carried a faint smell of disinfectant; Ye Shiyu lay amongst the whites on the bed near the white curtains, her black hair and eyes stark like ink spilled on snow.

"Sister Shiyu?"

Upon hearing Yan Huan's voice, the previously lethargic Ye Shiyu on the bed finally showed a bit of response.

She quickly turned her head to look at Yan Huan, after staring for a while, she turned her head slightly, speaking softly,

"It's good that you're alright, Xiao Huan..."

"Of course I'm fine, what could happen to me? But as for you..."

Ye Shiyu looked at Yan Huan who appeared normal, seemingly he didn't remember the incident at the Shrine where she hypnotized him and the Barrier shattered.

Smart as Ye Shiyu was, she instantly realized this might be related to memory correction by others.

So, she didn't continue to pursue the matter to avoid causing change, silently skipping over the topic.

"Sister Shiyu, how could you let yourself end up like this? If Aunt Ye knew, she'd definitely be very worried about you..."

At this moment, Yan Huan's face was full of worry, he quickly said,

"Even I feel heartache seeing Sister Shiyu like this."

But contrary to the vividly worried expression on his face, Yan Huan's eyes were deeply profound, only fixated on Ye Shiyu.

Come on, take the bait, Ye Shiyu...

Sure enough, the next second Ye Shiyu took the bait, quickly turning back to look at Yan Huan,

"Xiao Huan, you... seeing me like this, really feel heartache?"

It's fake.

"Of course it's real, why would Sister Shiyu think otherwise?"

On the surface, Yan Huan's expression was sincere, without a trace of flaw.

And looking at Yan Huan's sincere expression, Ye Shiyu couldn't help but be moved.

She slightly trembled, bowed her head a bit, murmuring,

"Because... seeing me like this, must make you feel like I'm no different from when you first met me, right? It's always... uncomfortable..."

Indeed.

"How could that be, Sister Shiyu."

Yan Huan pursed his lips, lowering his gaze to the wounds on Ye Shiyu's hands, gently smiling,

"Even if Sister Shiyu had issues in the past, now you have already reformed, haven't you?"

"... yes, I have... reformed..."

Who would expect, after pausing for a few seconds upon hearing this, Ye Shiyu nodded and admitted it.

You really dare to admit that?!

Reformed...

A challenge to suppress laughter? Sorry, I lost.

Seeing Ye Shiyu admit it like this, Yan Huan's guilt over his scheming reduced more and more.

Because it's already clear, if you continue to be gentle, Ye Shiyu will only become more outrageous.

Relying on herself will definitely not lead to any resolution, it'll just rot inside.

Alright, just wait, Ye Shiyu, soon you'll know the truth.

Thinking so, the smile on Yan Huan's face grew more vivid, almost seeming inhuman,

"So, Sister Shiyu, no matter what happens you shouldn't hurt yourself like this. Why, why use a blade to cut yourself?"

"I..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shiyu froze slightly, looking at her hand full of wounds, though expressionless, her eyes showed a bit of confusion,

"Xiao Huan, I just... felt really guilty."

You better really mean it.

"When you went missing, Xiao Huan, I didn't know what happened...

"Clearly, I felt like I should be very worried about you, but... in my heart, there was actually no emotion whatsoever...

"Clearly rationally, I knew this was wrong.

"So, time and again, I spoke to remind myself, it's all my fault..."
