You'd better look back, Mr. Shen is about to break.

Yu Nanqing was silent for two seconds. Although he knew that Shen Mochen and he did not get along well, he still responded out of respect, "I will take good care of him. He does not need Grandpa's help."

Old Master Shen paused for a moment, then scoffed coldly, "That would be best."

Yu Yan was more seriously injured than Shen Mochen, but fortunately neither of them was seriously hurt.

Shen Mochen woke up not long after entering the ward, staring blankly at the ceiling, his pupils unfocused, as if he were meditating on something.

Yu Nanqing only noticed that he had opened his eyes when she got up to check the IV line. She paused for a moment, then waved her hand in front of Shen Mochen's eyes, "Shen Mochen?"

“Shen…”

After the second call, Shen Mochen regained his senses, reached out and grabbed her hand, staring intently at her. After a long while, he hoarsely called out, "My darling?"

"Hmm, how are you? Does it hurt? I'll go call the doctor." Yu Nanqing responded softly, her face filled with worry and helplessness.

Shen Mochen shook his head, slowly propped himself up on the edge of the bed, and gently pulled her into his arms.

The mechanical voices in his mind were incessant, like telling a story, or like issuing an ultimatum.

It says that this world is fictional, and that he and Guai Guai are characters in a book.

They have their own storylines and their own destinies. They should never have crossed paths, let alone have any good endings.

It said it was there to help them, to help them awaken to their true selves, and to help them successfully break free from the storyline.

He raised his eyebrows, his face beaming with pleasure and joy.

He said that it wasn't impossible for him and Guai Guai to be together.

Yu Nanqing felt that he was acting strangely, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. She just assumed it was the bewilderment of someone who had survived a disaster.

She rubbed his head and gently coaxed him to lie down and rest, then turned and went out to call the doctor.

Shen Mochen's head was stitched with thirteen stitches, but he was otherwise unharmed except for some abrasions.

"Don't let the head get wet, and don't eat spicy or stimulating foods for the next few days. Remember not to agitate the patient, and make sure they get plenty of rest," the doctor instructed. Seeing the person in front of him listening attentively, he felt a little relieved.

But it's okay if you don't take it seriously.

The patient in front of them is none other than Prince Shen; even if no one says anything, he will pay extra attention to him.

Yu Nanqing saw him off and closed the door before turning her gaze back to Shen Mochen.

He seemed to be meditating again.

Yu Nanqing pursed her lips, not wanting to disturb him. She glanced at the cup on the bedside table, then got up to get him some hot water to cool down.

But just as she stood up, Shen Mochen, who was lost in thought, grabbed her hand.

"Where are you going, little one?" Shen Mochen looked at her, a hint of unease in his eyes.

"I'll get you some water. The doctor said you need to rest... Don't think too much." Yu Nanqing looked at him, unable to contain her worry.

Shen Mochen wasn't usually so easily distracted.

He looked exactly like a little fool who had hit his head.

"Okay." Shen Mochen nodded. Seeing that she wasn't leaving, the seriousness on his face disappeared. He let go of her hand and watched her take the water.

The system just told him that the first step he needs to take is to let go of Chen's Entertainment and stop doing anything hostile to Chen Qing.

He was puzzled.

However, the system says that Chen Qing is the male protagonist of this world and has a powerful male protagonist aura. As long as he does not have any contact with Chen Qing, his existence will quietly fade away in the plot of this world and become an insignificant minor character in the book, a minor character who is not controlled by the plot.

At that time, he will be able to live a carefree and shameless happy life with his sweetheart.

He believed it, but Yu Yan might not be awake yet, and his phone was missing. He would have to wait a while to complete this first task.

However, he can now withdraw some of his happiness in advance.

"Would you like some honey?" Yu Nanqing carefully placed the steaming hot water on the bedside table, then glanced at him sideways.

Shen Mochen stared intently at her, his eyes shining so brightly they seemed to overflow with stars.

Yu Nanqing paused for two seconds, swallowed hard, resisted the urge to lean in and kiss him, and called out to him again, "Shen Mochen?"

"Yes," Shen Mochen replied, quietly watching her squeeze honey into the water glass.

The honey seems to have been left over from when Guai Guai was hospitalized here last time, which must have been just a few days ago.

The water was still very hot, so Yu Nanqing didn't dare to hand it to him directly. She bent down and blew on it, then touched the cup with her fingertips and handed it to him only after she felt it was no longer hot.

After finishing his water, Shen Mochen put down the cup and eagerly pulled back the covers to sit on the edge of the bed. He reached out and hugged her tightly. "My darling won't leave me, will she?"

"No." Not knowing why he suddenly asked this again, Yu Nanqing still subconsciously replied to him.

Afraid of pressing down on him, she didn't sit directly on his lap when she turned around. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck, kissed him a few times on the face, buried her head in his shoulder, and then spoke of the unease she felt when she came. "I was so scared when I came here. I was thinking that if you died, I would die with you. Maybe we could be a pair of star-crossed lovers in the underworld."

Shen Mochen held her waist, his heart trembling violently, his mind filled with the image of the doomed lovers she had mentioned.

Goodness, I never thought about living alone.

Goodness gracious... I love him so much.

Yu Yan woke up late at night with her entire head wrapped in gauze. The first thing she did upon waking was to find Shen Mochen. After making sure he was alright, she knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"President Shen, I failed to protect your safety." He lowered his eyes, and although he was in terrible pain, he did not show any sign of suffering on his face.

Shen Mochen frowned slightly. "Get up."

Yu Nanqing, who had been stunned by the shock, also came to her senses and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but Shen Mochen was one step ahead of her. Before her hand could even touch Yu Yan, he was pulled up.

Seeing that his wife hadn't touched another man, Shen Mochen breathed a sigh of relief and pushed Yu Yan to sit down on the sofa. "It was just an accident, it has nothing to do with you."

"But…"

"What's there to say but? You're not a god." Shen Mochen sat back down, reached out and took Yu Nanqing's hand, handing the water she had poured to Yu Yan. He couldn't bear to see her do anything.

Aside from having her... help him take a bath or something.

Thinking about it, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Yu Yan again, "You should stay in the hospital and rest for the next few days. I've arranged a caregiver for you. If you need anything, just ask him. If he can't handle it, then come and find me."

"I've already had someone investigate the car accident, so you don't need to worry about it."

Yu Yan gripped the water glass tightly, her eyes unreadable as she stared at the remaining honey residue inside, a profound unease rising within her.

He didn't want to rest, he didn't want to stop.

The only thing he could do was follow Shen Mochen, protect his safety, help him with things, and incidentally... prove his own existence.

He was afraid that during this break, Shen Mochen would find someone else to replace him and would no longer need him.
