"Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan, don't go, don't go!"

Pei Xingzhi held Xie Zhaoyuan with all his might, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones and blood, so that no one could take her away.

Xie Zhaoyuan was held tightly in his arms, but she looked blank and confused.

“…Pei Xingzhi?” She raised a hand and gently patted Pei Xingzhi’s back, but felt that he was trembling violently, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying.

"Pei Xingzhi, what's wrong?" Xie Zhaoyuan wrapped her arms around him, patting his back gently with her hands, her voice incredibly tender. "What's wrong? Why are you reacting like this all of a sudden? Did something happen inside?"

"..." Pei Xingzhi did not answer her. After hugging her for a moment, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and walked forcefully and urgently toward the elevator.

"Where are we going?" Xie Zhaoyuan was completely bewildered, not understanding what was wrong with Pei Xingzhi at all.

Pei Xingzhi grabbed her and said in a trembling voice, "A-Yuan, let's go to the hospital, let's go to the hospital for a full checkup."

"Huh?" Xie Zhaoyuan stared wide-eyed in confusion, passively following him. "Why? Why do I have to go to the hospital for a checkup when I'm perfectly fine?"

“…We’re going to get checked for pancreatic cancer.” These few words took all of Pei Xingzhi’s strength to utter.

"Pancreatic cancer?" Upon hearing these three words, Xie Zhaoyuan's expression instantly changed. She grabbed Pei Xingzhi's wrist and gritted her teeth, forcing him to stop.

"Wait, Pei Xingzhi, do you know something?"

Pei Xingzhi took a few quick breaths, turned around with red eyes, his gaze filled with deep fear and dread.

"Ah Yuan, so you really are a time traveler?" he probed cautiously. "You really come from another world, just like Shen Yan Hui, are you a time traveler?"

"..." Xie Zhaoyuan's heart skipped a beat, and her expression immediately turned a little flustered. "Shen Yanhui, did you tell her everything?"

"So you are?" Pei Xingzhi didn't answer her question, only focusing on this one question, "A-Yuan, answer me, are you a time traveler or not?"

“…I am.” Now that things had come to this, Xie Zhaoyuan had no need to hide anything anymore, because she knew that Shen Yanhui had definitely told her everything.

"I am a transmigrator. Like Shen Yanhui, I come from another world."

Although he already knew the answer in his heart, Pei Xingzhi's heart still tightened when he heard Xie Zhaoyuan admit it with his own ears.

He raised his hands and gripped Xie Zhaoyuan's shoulders tightly, then asked, "Before you transmigrated, did you die once? Did you die of pancreatic cancer?"

"Yes." Now that the secret has been laid bare, Xie Zhaoyuan might as well be more open about it. "What Shen Yanhui told you is all true. I am indeed a time traveler, and I did die once in that world."

“Pei Xingzhi, the person you have always loved is neither Qin Song nor Xie Zhaoyuan, but a strange soul hiding in this body.”

"...I'll take you to the hospital!"

Pei Xingzhi completely ignored Xie Zhaoyuan's words: "Since it's still early, let's go to the hospital for a full check-up! Even though you're a transmigrator, we don't know if this stupid disease will stay with you."

"...We'll do the tests, and if any problems are found, we'll treat them immediately!"

As he spoke, Pei Xingzhi grabbed Xie Zhaoyuan's hand again and hurriedly pulled her into the elevator.

"Hey—" Xie Zhaoyuan used all her strength to pull him back.

"Why are you in such a hurry to go to the hospital? I haven't even finished speaking yet!"

Pei Xingzhi: "Let's talk about it after the examination. Ah Yuan, be good and go to the hospital with your husband first."

"No!" Xie Zhaoyuan was disobedient for the first time. "I'm not going to the hospital. I want to make things clear with you!"

“…Alright!” Although he was already breathing heavily, Pei Xingzhi still complied with Xie Zhaoyuan’s wishes. “Since A-Yuan wants to talk, then let’s make things clear.”

Xie Zhaoyuan looked up at him: "Pei Xingzhi, now that you know my identity, then you..."

"I love you!"

Before Xie Zhaoyuan could finish speaking, Pei Xingzhi impatiently gave his answer.

"I love you, I love the you who traveled through time, not the body that contains you!"

Xie Zhaoyuan: "I..."

“I know clearly when I fell in love with you, and I know even more which version of you I love!” Pei Xingzhi stared into her eyes, dispelling all her unease and fear.

"Ah Yuan, you don't need to worry that I don't love you, and you don't need to be afraid that I will hold a grudge against you! As long as you can stay by my side and be with me, even if the body you use is not 'Xie Zhaoyuan,' I will still love you and that will never change!"

"..."

Xie Zhaoyuan didn't even have a chance to ask a single question before Pei Xingzhi solved them all.

She stared blankly with her mouth agape, instinctively wanting to say something, but unexpectedly Pei Xingzhi suddenly cupped her face and kissed her lips deeply.

This kiss contained not a trace of lust, but only full of sincerity and reassurance.

After the kiss, Pei Xingzhi gently stroked Xie Zhaoyuan's face, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Zhaoyuan, be good, shall we go to the hospital?"

Xie Zhaoyuan pursed her lips, feeling the lingering warmth on them: "Answer me one question and I'll go to the hospital with you."

Pei Xingzhi's voice choked with emotion: "Ask away!"

Xie Zhaoyuan: "Was everything you just said true? Is the person you love really me, the one who traveled through time?"

Pei Xingzhi: "I've practically given you my life, how could I not love you? I'm not a scumbag like Lu Yibai, I wouldn't be someone who doesn't even know who I truly love!"

"Hey..." Xie Zhaoyuan was finally satisfied and smiled. "Pei Xingzhi, I don't want your life, I just want you to be with me forever."

"I will always be with you." Pei Xingzhi looked into her eyes and spoke every word with utmost sincerity. "Xie Zhaoyuan, I will stick with you even if it kills me. You will never get rid of me in this lifetime."

"Mm!" Xie Zhaoyuan nodded, feeling instantly relieved.

Pei Xingzhi took her hand: "Can we go to the hospital now?"

Xie Zhaoyuan: "Go!"

It was still early, and the private hospital Pei Xingzhi frequented was still accepting their appointments. He contacted the hospital's vice president via WeChat beforehand, then drove Xie Zhaoyuan there as quickly as possible.

A full-body checkup takes a long time; it was almost dark when Xie Zhaoyuan finally left the hospital.

"That's great...that's really great!" Pei Xingzhi held her medical report, grinning like a fool. "My Ayuan is very healthy, there's absolutely no problem!"

Xie Zhaoyuan raised an eyebrow, looking smug: "I already told you I'm fine."

"That's good." Pei Xingzhi carefully folded the medical report into a small square and put it in the inner pocket of his coat, close to his heart.

"My wish is to stay this good forever, not to get sick, and not to leave this world."

"Okay." Xie Zhaoyuan smiled and agreed. "I won't get sick, and I won't leave. I will stay with Pei Xingzhi and our little family."

"Don't be afraid, Shen Yanhui said those things to you on purpose to scare you."

"Okay." Pei Xingzhi nodded, then reached out and firmly held Xie Zhaoyuan's hand. "It's getting dark, let me take Ayuan home."

Xie Zhaoyuan: "Okay, let's go home!"
