Having experienced illness, Lu Liruan reacted as if to stress. The ticking sound of the machine seemed to resonate with her heartbeat.

The sounds grew increasingly rapid, making it almost impossible for Lu Liruan to breathe...

Cheng Nianzhi frowned. He squeezed Lu Liruan's hand tightly, as if trying to convey something, but his mind was still not very clear. He stared at Lu Liruan with a fixed gaze.

"I'm sorry..." Lu Liruan sobbed softly, raising her hand to help Cheng Nianzhi smooth his messy hair with her fingertips.

Cheng Nianzhi's breathing was a little heavy. He tried his best to follow Lu Liruan's movements with his gaze, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It makes me feel so guilty." Lu Liruan's mind was blank; she didn't even know what she was saying.

Feeling a mix of emotions as Cheng Nianzhi stared at her, she wanted to cover his eyes and stop him from looking at her.

Since leaving Cheng Nianzhi's house last time, Lu Liruan had not looked him in the eye for a long time, nor had she looked at him closely for a long time.

"I want to be a good person, but why do I feel like I'm a bad person right now?"

He Yujin had just returned when she heard the little girl sobbing as she uttered those words.

If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, He Yujin would have laughed out loud. What's wrong with these two? They're evenly matched, and dating them is exhausting for both of them...

"Hey, hey, little ancestor, why are you covering his eyes? He's still alive, no need to close his eyelids!" He Yujin walked behind Lu Liruan, holding the examination report.

"Waaah, don't say such unlucky things! Hurry up, spit it out!" Lu Liruan drooped her eyebrows and pouted, making a serious and competitive demand.

"Okay, my lousy mouth, ptooey ptooey ptooey!" He Yujin slapped her mouth: "It's alright, he's awake now, isn't he? Let's check what's wrong first. If he's not sick, then all those tears you shed were for nothing."

Lu Liruan was always very sensitive about her illness, so she was particularly uneasy.

He Yujin may say nonsensical things, but her actions are methodical and calm, showing a strong sense of self-control, which makes Lu Liruan feel a little more at ease.

How could he be alright in this condition? Lu Liruan, having been ill for a long time, had become quite knowledgeable about various data standards.

The doctor ordered tests, first to rule out heart and brain problems, and scheduled an emergency MRI and color Doppler ultrasound.

Fortunately, the hospital used as the filming location is a top-tier, reputable hospital, so there was no need to transfer to another hospital. The doctor also advised against moving before the cause was found out.

Lu Liruan quickly composed herself, sniffed, and accompanied Cheng Nianzhi to the examination room with the nurse.

“Don’t be afraid, I’ll be waiting for you outside…” Lu Liruan seemed to be comforting Cheng Nianzhi, or perhaps comforting herself. She leaned down, forehead to forehead, and murmured, “No matter what happens, I will always be with you.”

You are my mission target, I came here for you, you are the person I love and cherish, I will protect you and safeguard you.

Cheng Nianzhi's eyes were clear, and he nodded slowly.

The nurse watched from the side, feeling both surprised and touched. She hadn't expected the couple to be real. It seemed that their interactions in private were even more genuine and natural than on screen.

The examination took a long time, and Lu Liruan held her hands tightly, her back stiff in one position.

“Nianzhi, I’m fine here. It’s getting late, you should go back and rest.” He Yujin sat down next to her.

"It's okay, I won't be able to sleep when I get back anyway." Lu Liruan was much calmer now.

He Yujin wanted to persuade her, but seeing her tense and persistent appearance, she felt that she probably wouldn't listen to anything she said.

"I've completed the admission procedures in the cardiology department. After the examination, I can be transferred to a ward." He Yujin spoke to Lu Liruan in a steady, unhurried voice, trying to distract her.

"Okay, thank you."

Huh? Why does this smell like family? He Yujin pushed up his glasses and touched them.

When Cheng Nianzhi returned to the ward, he was still drowsy. Lu Liruan touched his skin and felt that his body temperature was very low.

Is he alright now?

"When Mr. Cheng came to the emergency room, his blood pressure was too low. His symptoms of confusion, dizziness, and hypothermia are all normal and typical of low blood pressure," the doctor explained patiently.

"Mr. Cheng has just taken some medication. His blood pressure is currently stable and within the normal range, and his heart rate and breathing are also normal. There are no obvious symptoms of illness on his body. We will have to wait for the results of other tests. Tonight, we will observe him."

There was only one bed in the double room, and He Yujin, seeing that she couldn't persuade Lu Liruan, leaned against the empty bed next to her and said, "I'll rest for a bit. I've been through a lot all day."

"You rest, I'll watch over things here." Lu Liruan nodded.

Suddenly, something occurred to me: "Right, should we... notify Ah Zhi's family?"

He Yujin paused for a moment, then shook her head: "No need for now, let's wait for the results. My aunt..."

He Yujin hesitated for a few seconds: "Auntie is a bit overprotective. She must be devastated to hear about what happened to Azhi. Calling her here won't do any good."

Lu Liruan nodded. In fact, from what Cheng Nianzhi had said last time, she could sense that Cheng's parents were almost completely obedient to him, but this kind of obedience did not feel like love, but rather compensation.

In the original storyline, after Cheng Nianzhi's death, Cheng's parents not only did not blame Shi Jingyun, but also helped her more. This was probably because of this reason.

Rather than harboring resentment and seeking revenge because their son died because of her, the parents still did what their son wanted to do, as if to atone for their sins.

Lu Liruan couldn't even tell whether they loved Cheng Nianzhi more or felt more guilty.

"It's not easy for him to become what he is now." He Yujin seemed to see what Lu Liruan was thinking, and only sighed before saying nothing more.

This is between them, and I don't need to interfere.

Time passed quickly as Lu Liruan stayed by Cheng Nianzhi's side. Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep with her forehead resting on the back of Cheng Nianzhi's hand.

When Lu Liruan woke up again, she thought she was seeing things. She was lying on the empty bed next to her, and Cheng Nianzhi was sitting by her bedside in a hospital gown, covering her with a blanket.

"Ah! You!" Lu Liruan jumped up suddenly, startling Cheng Nianzhi.

It wasn't until she sat up that Lu Liruan realized she wasn't dreaming.

"You...how come you...why don't you?"

"Are you still feeling unwell? Why aren't you lying down properly?" Lu Liruan asked incoherently.

"I feel much better." Cheng Nianzhi pressed her shoulder, earnestly comforting her.

"The test results are in, and there are no problems."

"How could there be no problem? I saw your indicators yesterday..." Lu Liruan quickly covered her mouth halfway through her sentence, as if she were cursing someone.

Cheng Nianzhi's complexion was still not very good, and his lips were pale, but when he smiled, a bit of color returned to his face.

"I'm not kidding you, the report is out."

"Let me see!" Lu Liruan took it.

The tests done in the emergency room yesterday were all normal, except for a few values ​​that were a little low, there were no actual lesions.

"I didn't lie to you."
