A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

"what!"

In reality, Bai Mengfei was jolted awake from that terrible nightmare again, and sat up abruptly.

She turned to look out the window and saw that the rain was still pouring down, showing no signs of stopping.

The scenes from her dream were still vivid in her mind, and her clothes were already soaked with cold sweat.

She sat there forlornly, staring blankly out the window, trying her best to clear her mind and even deliberately avoiding thinking about the nightmare, just to relax a little.

However, being alone in the room, she became increasingly anxious and uneasy. An indescribable sense of loneliness, accompanied by the deep night, surged into her heart like a tide, making her feel as if the whole world was empty, leaving only her all alone.

It's a chilling feeling.

In her panic, she threw off the covers and got out of bed.

After much hesitation, she finally arrived at Xiang Yuntian's door.

At this moment, Xiang Yuntian was intently looking at the pictures in the room, completely immersed in the bloody atmosphere of the case.

"Knock knock knock."

The sudden knocking startled Xiang Yuntian.

"Who?!" Xiang Yuntian asked loudly, his voice tinged with excitement.

Bai Mengfei realized that her knocking had startled Xiang Yuntian, so she quickly said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's me, Bai Mengfei."

Hearing Bai Mengfei's voice, which was both polite and weak, Xiang Yuntian immediately sensed something was wrong, because he knew that Bai Mengfei was never like this before.

So he quickly stood up, turned around, and strode over to open the door.

Bai Mengfei's slender figure stood outside the door, exuding a desolate aura. Xiang Yuntian immediately asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"Mmm." Bai Mengfei responded softly and nodded vigorously, actually trying to hide her terrible state at the moment.

Xiang Yuntian saw through her thoughts at a glance, but he didn't say anything. He simply led her into his room and then went to the living room to pour her a glass of water.

At this moment, Bai Mengfei desperately didn't want Xiang Yuntian to leave her; that strange sense of loneliness was truly tormenting.

But she just watched Xiang Yuntian's departing figure from afar, without saying a word.

Fortunately, Xiang Yuntian acted quickly and returned soon after pouring the water.

As Bai Mengfei drank water, she looked at Xiang Yuntian's familiar face and a sense of security welled up within her.

At that moment, she was incredibly vulnerable, as if driven by some force, involuntarily opening her heart, letting go of her usual strength, and softly asking, "You will never leave me, right?"

She asked this question because a strange thought suddenly popped into her mind: would she be all alone on the road to the underworld in the future?

At this moment, she desperately needed a promise, even if Xiang Yuntian's promise was a lie that could never be kept.

However, Xiang Yuntian is mature and steady, and dares not easily promise things he cannot do.

After thinking for a long time, Xiang Yuntian slowly said, "Well, I won't leave unless you leave first."

Upon hearing this answer, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but look away and gaze elsewhere.

At this moment, she appeared uneasy, and subtle body language betrayed her.

Her unease was evident from the way she twisted her fingers, a gesture that wasn't something she naturally made, but rather something that a girl named Cheng Xiao used to do often.

Xiang Yuntian was also very worried about her condition, but he was at a loss and could only gaze at her quietly.

Fortunately, he was well-versed in psychology and had an extremely sensitive mind, which allowed him to understand Bai Mengfei's deep sense of loneliness.

So he suggested, "Why don't you sleep here tonight? I have things to do anyway, so I can keep you company, okay?"

For Bai Mengfei at this moment, this was undoubtedly a proposal she couldn't have asked for. So, Bai Mengfei nodded slightly and agreed to Xiang Yuntian's suggestion.

In the latter half of that night, Bai Mengfei rested in Xiang Yuntian's room.

Xiang Yuntian is usually a very particular boy, a true gentleman, and he pays great attention to detail, just like this spotless room.

His bed, in particular, had no odor whatsoever, and was even more comfortable to sleep on than a girl's bedroom.

Bai Mengfei couldn't help but smile.

In this environment, Bai Mengfei naturally fell asleep, feeling an unprecedented sense of security. Because she trusted Xiang Yuntian completely, knowing he was right beside her made her feel exceptionally safe.

For girls, this sense of security is perhaps the most desired thing.

A sense of peace of mind brings more happiness than anything else. She might not have thought about these things much before, but after being reborn, she finds herself thinking about them more and more often.

……

Bai Mengfei didn't wake up naturally until 9:30 the next morning. Strangely, when she woke up, she saw Xiang Yuntian still sitting in front of the computer, staring silently at the screen.

Xiang Yuntian's expression was serious, and he remained silent.

Although Bai Mengfei was somewhat used to this, she was still taken aback, because it meant that Xiang Yuntian hadn't slept all night and had been focused on studying the case.

She had no choice but to get out of bed, walk over, and ask, "Didn't you go to work today?"

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's voice, Xiang Yuntian, who had been highly focused, finally snapped out of his daze.

He turned his head to look at Bai Mengfei, smiled slightly, and said, "Hmm, you're awake? I took the day off this morning to stay here with you."

Bai Mengfei turned to look out the window and found that the rain had stopped. Daytime always gave her a sense of security, especially the sunlight streaming in from the window, so gentle and warm.

She looked at the sunlight streaming onto the floor, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm alright now, really."

“I’m fine too, so I can keep you company.” As he spoke, Xiang Yuntian naturally reached out and closed his laptop.

Bai Mengfei pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and then said, "You should go and rest. After all, you're not made of iron. If you get sick from staying up all night, who will take care of me?"

Bai Mengfei's words were meant to encourage Xiang Yuntian to rest, but they reminded Xiang Yuntian of how Bai Mengfei had taken such good care of him when he fell ill last time.

So Xiang Yuntian decisively said, "Then you'll be the one taking care of me, right? After all, we've always taken care of each other, haven't we?"

That was indeed the case, and Bai Mengfei could not refute it.

However, Xiang Yuntian can be very stubborn at times. Just like a cow that doesn't want to drink water, you can't force it to drink. At this moment, he said he wouldn't sleep, and he just wouldn't go to sleep no matter what.
