He Li was startled by Gu Yan's sudden tough attitude, and he suddenly realized a horrifying truth - it turned out that Gu Yan had never really believed in her heart that someone would truly love her!

"What exactly do I need you to do to trust me? Gu Yan, please take care of your body, okay?"

He Li stared at Gu Yan's eyes intently, wishing he could see through those beautiful yet stubborn eyes to the depths of her heart, so that she would understand that he had absolutely no falsehood or calculation towards her.

However, in the face of He Li's earnest words, Gu Yan only smiled sadly, slowly shook his head and said, "He Li, it's not that I don't want to believe you, but I really can't trust you wholeheartedly. After all, you fell in love with me only because I am Gu Yan's incarnation. Emotions like this, built on the shadow of another, are more fragile than thin paper. Even now, I can hardly tell whether the person you are worried about is me as a person, or Gu Yan, who is similar to me but completely different..."

Looking at Gu Yan, who looked gloomy and pitiful, He Li felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, causing unbearable pain.

Unable to suppress the surging emotions in his heart any longer, he took a step forward without hesitation, opened his arms and hugged Gu Yan tightly in his arms.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do well enough to make you really believe me."

He Li's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he knew exactly who he loved.

For a long time, he had never really distinguished between Gu Yan and Gu Yan, because in his eyes, Gu Yan was like the most painful piece of Gu Yan's body.

If possible, He Li would rather bear all the pain and torture by himself.

Looking back on the past, if Gu Yan had been so unreasonable, anyone would have left in anger long ago.

However, He Li was the only one who didn't do so. Facing the woman who was losing control of her emotions, he softly said, "Why don't we start getting to know each other again?"

Gu Yan looked at the gentle yet determined He Li in front of him, and the defenses in his heart finally collapsed bit by bit.

She really couldn't continue to be cruel to such an affectionate He Li, and finally chose to compromise and bow to the warmth of reality.

She nodded slightly and replied softly, "Okay, I'm willing to go to the hospital for treatment if this is really the result you expect to see."

When He Li heard Gu Yan say this, he couldn't help but hug the person in his arms tighter, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go.

At the same time, he whispered in Gu Yan's ear: "Thank you, Gu Yan, thank you for finally taking good care of yourself. But please rest assured, if you feel even the slightest discomfort during the medical treatment, we can turn around and leave at any time."

At that moment, Gu Yan suddenly realized that even learning to care for oneself could receive such sincere praise and affirmation from others.

An irrepressible feeling of jealousy gradually welled up in Gu Yan's heart.

She couldn't help but wonder: Why was it Gu Yan who got to know He Li first? Wasn't she supposed to have the chance to monopolize all of He Li's attention and companionship?

This thought grew wildly in her mind like weeds, making her increasingly irritable and uneasy.

The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds and fell on the earth.

Under He Li's careful care, Gu Yan went to the hospital for a comprehensive and detailed examination. The attending physician in charge of this diagnosis and treatment was He Li's close friend Zhou Sen, a prestigious expert in the industry.

After all the examinations were completed, Zhou Sen quietly called He Li aside and said solemnly, "Don't worry too much. According to the latest test report, Gu Yan's body functions are gradually returning to normal. But unfortunately, his main personality is still in a deep sleep. As for when it will awaken, it is still unknown. It may take a year or two, or even his entire life."

Zhou Sen paused, as if he had more to say. Then, lowering his voice, he added, "Furthermore, after in-depth observation and analysis, we've discovered that Gu Yan's secondary personality exhibits extremely severe violent tendencies and a strong sense of world-weariness. Taking all factors into consideration, allowing Gu Yan's primary personality to return is the most appropriate and effective solution."

He Li listened quietly to what Zhou Sen said. After a long while, he slowly asked, "So, if I stay by her side all the time, can I prevent her from harming herself?"

When He Li asked this question, Zhou Sen, as his close friend, instantly understood the deep meaning behind He Li's words.

He looked at He Li in astonishment and asked in disbelief, "Are you saying... that you are willing to spend your life with a clone?"

He Li nodded slightly, his eyes firm and affectionate, and slowly said, "She is definitely not just a clone. Although she has always refused to admit that she is Gu Yan, I know very well in my heart that whether it is the her in front of me or the Gu Yan in my memory, they are actually the same person. For me, no matter what she looks like or what kind of personality she has, I will love her unswervingly until the end of my life. As long as I can see her living a happy and carefree life, for me, whether she is Gu Yan or Gu Yan, it makes no difference."

However, He Li did not know that at this moment, Gu Yan was standing quietly just across the wall.

She took in every word He Li said, and the knot in her heart that had been tightly tangled finally loosened and she felt relieved.

For a long time, she has been resisting her identity as Gu Yan. The reason is simply because she really doesn't want to be seen as a substitute for others, and she can't accept such a harsh word as "stand-in" being associated with herself.

But at this moment, when she heard someone clearly say that no matter what she became, that person would choose to love her without hesitation, and the only hope was that she could live a happy life, she suddenly realized that Gu Yan was not the only one who could be favored, and her sister Gu Yan also had this precious emotion.

At this moment, Gu Yan's heart was filled with endless gratitude towards Gu Yan. It was because of Gu Yan's existence that there was someone in this world who could love her so unconditionally and without reservation.

This emotion was like warm sunshine, illuminating the corners of her heart that were once shrouded in darkness.

Just as she was stunned, a familiar figure flashed by.

Gu Yan followed instinctively, but after following for a while she realized that she had lost him.

It was at this time that He Li called.

"Where are you?"

"Wait for me at the hospital gate, I'll come find you."

When the two of them returned to the magnificent and elegant manor together, from the moment they stepped through the gate to the moment they slowly walked up the stairs, Gu Yan's eyes never left He Li even for a moment.

Her eyes were like two bright gems, fixed on the handsome and charming man in front of her.

Finally, He Li noticed Gu Yan's intense gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you staring at me like this?"

As he spoke, he gently took Gu Yan's soft little hand and kissed it tenderly.

Gu Yan smiled slightly, a faint blush on her cheeks, and said softly: "It's just because I suddenly realized that you are so beautiful that it's hard to look away."

These words were like an electric current that instantly spread throughout He Li's body, causing his heartbeat to accelerate and his breathing to become a little rapid.

He Li swallowed hard, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. Then, without hesitation, he stretched out his arms, pulled Gu Yan into his arms, and quickly walked into his room.

The next second after entering the room, He Li used his powerful hands to pin Gu Yan firmly against the door.

His eyes, as deep as a pool of water, were now burning with flames. His scorching gaze was cast straight at Gu Yan's shy and charming face. He asked word by word, "Then, can I regard what you just said as a warm invitation?"

Gu Yan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a charming smile, then he gently raised his head and kissed He Li's sexy Adam's apple like a dragonfly touching the water.

Then, she gently pushed He Li with one hand and said coquettishly, "Remember to wash it clean." These five short words seemed to turn into a colorful firework, exploding in He Li's mind, making him feel a little dizzy.

"Okay...Okay! I'll go right away!"

At this moment, He Li was like a young boy who had just fallen in love, his face flushed red as he hurriedly ran towards the bathroom. Looking at his slightly embarrassed back, Gu Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

Then she turned around and went back to her room, intending to wash herself thoroughly and make herself smell fragrant.

However, just when the two had finished washing up and were happily preparing to get down to business, an explosive piece of news suddenly came like a bolt from the blue - Fu Chuyue was found dead on the street!

This news was so unexpected that He Li and Gu Yan were stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.

You know, the two of them didn't even have the chance to kill Fu Chuyue, but now she died inexplicably.

The ambiguous atmosphere that had originally permeated the air was instantly dissipated without a trace, replaced by a heavy and tense atmosphere.

According to the latest information released by the police, the situation at that time was incredible.

Fu Chuyue actually walked into the narrow alley alone that was not covered by any surveillance equipment.

However, when Fu Chuyue appeared in public again, the sight was horrible. Her once neat and tidy clothes had become tattered and extremely messy, as if she had just experienced a thrilling fight.

What is even more heartbreaking is that she was thrown into the middle of a busy street without any dignity, just like garbage!
