Zhou Jingyan's breathing became disordered, his heart was already filled with unbearable pain, and even his voice was choked with sobs.

"I was afraid that the story from my previous life would repeat itself, so I returned home as soon as I regained consciousness."

"But when I came back, I found that you had fallen into a coma. The reason I recognized Liu Yiyi as you was because some of your little movements and habits remained unchanged."

Shen Anran sighed softly, a hint of emotion in her voice, "You seem to have known from the beginning that I was also reborn?"

"When I found out that you were very resistant to anything related to the Shen family, I guessed that you might be the same as me."

Zhou Jingyan did not tell Shen Anran that he actually recognized her at the Royal Court.

Shen Anran lowered his head, feeling unhappy.

He whispered, "I was afraid I would hurt them, so I wanted to escape. I didn't expect to return to my original life so soon."

It was as if someone was pushing her from behind, leading her to her own ending.

Zhou Jingyan looked at her gently, reached out and rubbed her hair, his voice full of comfort.

"This life is different now. You have your own consciousness."

Shen Anran shook her head gently, a hint of uneasiness in her voice: "Every time Shen Jiahe and I are alone, I always lose control. I plan to leave here. Brother Jingyan, can I go back to Country W with you? Maybe there, I can get rid of this helpless feeling."

Zhou Jingyan's hesitation did not escape Shen Anran's eyes, but she suddenly laughed, and her laughter echoed in the room.

"Is it because I can't leave S City? I'm like a puppet being pulled by a string, and can only move within this small circle. I don't even have the most basic freedom." There was a hint of self-mockery in her laughter.

"An An, it's not like that..." Zhou Jingyan's voice was filled with panic. He wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.

Shen Anran slowly approached Zhou Jingyan, looked straight into his eyes, and tried to find the answer from his eyes.

"Brother Jingyan, you've known for a long time that something is wrong with this world, right? How much of your love is real, and how much is fake?"

Although her voice was soft, every word she spoke was like a sharp knife, piercing Zhou Jingyan's heart.

Zhou Jingyan didn't avoid it. He held Shen Anran's hand with a sincere look in his eyes: "An'an, the only thing I have never lied about is loving you."

There was a flicker of fluctuation in Shen Anran's eyes, and she smiled gently, trying to hide her true emotions.

"It's just a joke, Brother Jingyan, don't mind it. I'm just curious, how much truth do you know, and how much have you hidden from me?"

Zhou Jingyan's eyes became complicated, "An An, I'm sorry, there are some things I can't tell you yet." There was helplessness and struggle in his voice.

Shen Anran stroked Zhou Jingyan's cheek, her eyes full of love.

"It's okay, I understand your difficulties." Even if Zhou Jingyan deceived her, she would accept it.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, interrupting the silence in the room.

"Zhou Jingyan, I heard that you were injured. I came to see if you were dead." There was a hint of teasing in his voice, but also concern.

Shen Anran immediately stood up and sat up, tidying up his emotions and demeanor.

The person who came in was Tang Zichen, and his appearance broke the silence.

Tang Zichen appears to be calm and indifferent on the surface, but he is actually carefree, especially in front of acquaintances.

Zhou Jingyan's eyes returned to indifference, and his voice became indifferent, "You don't have to come."

Tang Zichen coughed softly, seeming a little uncomfortable. He explained, "I've been too busy recently. I only received the news of your injury yesterday." There was a hint of guilt in his tone.

He has been busy with experiments recently and rarely goes home.

I devote almost all my time and energy to work.

When he finally finished the things at hand and returned home, he heard from his wife that Zhou Jingyan and Shen Anran had been in a car accident not long ago.

This incident was reported in the news at the time. Although it was quickly suppressed, it still attracted a certain amount of attention among friends.

So, the next day, he rushed over without stopping.

Tang Zichen turned his head, his eyes fell on Shen Anran, and asked with concern: "Miss Shen, are you hurt?"

Shen Anran smiled slightly and responded gently: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Tang Zichen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then said sincerely: "I also want to thank you. I heard from my wife that it was you who told her some of my things, and that's how we resolved the misunderstanding. Thank you very much."

Shen Anran shook her head gently, indicating that she was welcome, and then made an excuse, saying, "You guys chat, I'm going out to make a phone call."

Then he left the room, leaving the space to Zhou Jingyan and Tang Zichen.

After Shen Anran left, Tang Zichen sat down beside Zhou Jingyan's bed.

His eyes turned serious. "Jingyan, don't say I'm not a good friend. What's going on with you now? You were entangled with Miss Liu before, and after Miss Liu got into trouble, you're now getting close to Miss Shen."

He had just learned about Liu Yiyi's accident not long ago, and wanted to find out what Zhou Jingyan thought, but unexpectedly, another woman appeared beside Zhou Jingyan.

Presumably, Shen Anran is the "An An" he mentioned, then why did he act so close to Liu Yiyi before?

He hadn't cared about it before because he and Shen Anran were strangers, and Liu Yiyi was Liu Shuming's sister.

But the situation is different now, Shen Anran helped him a lot.

If it weren't for Shen Anran, he might still not know that he was his wife's white moonlight.

They love each other, but misunderstandings create a gap between them.

Fortunately, it's not too late.

Shen Anran helped him, so he should naturally give something in return.

Zhou Jingyan raised his eyebrows lazily, "Are you free?"

"Yes, I'm very free and I've been worrying about your lifelong affairs." Tang Zichen gritted his teeth.

"Need not."

Tang Zichen was speechless and stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that this guy was still as irritating as ever.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and said jokingly, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Shen Anran about your past?"

The other party seemed unconcerned and responded calmly: "Just say what you want to say."

Tang Zichen smiled lightly and shook his head: "It seems that your brain is not broken. You still know how to scold people."

This sentence contains both sarcasm and a sense of reassurance. After all, being able to respond normally means that the other party is in good condition.

Tang Zichen stood up and said, "Just take good care of yourself and I won't bother you anymore. After you're discharged from the hospital, we'll find some time to get together."

Zhou Jingyan nodded slightly in response.

Tang Zichen left the ward and as soon as he walked out, he found Shen Anran standing quietly not far away, staring straight ahead.
