When Jiang Yazhu woke up,ǜchá it was the middle of the night. The surroundings were silent. The lights in the ward were turned off, only a small night lamp in the corner was on, very dim, barely enough for her to see her surroundings clearly.

She opened her mouth and called out to the figure sprawled asleep on the sofa, "Rongxuan."

She didn't know how long she had slept, her throat was so dry it felt like it would smoke. When she spoke, her voice was barely a whisper. The figure on the sofa hadn't been woken by her, but there was movement beside her. A slender hand with long bones held a straw and pressed it to her lips. Jiang Yazhu was too thirsty, unconsciously sucking on it for two breaths.

The warm water flowed down her throat, finally easing the dryness and discomfort. Jiang Yajiu felt a little better, "Why didn't you let Wanci go home to sleep? It's so uncomfortable sleeping on the couch, she has to work tomorrow, how can she do that if she doesn't sleep well."

The night light only illuminated a limited area, she could only vaguely see a figure on the sofa, but couldn't make out their face, even whether it was male or female.

The person who was feeding her water was tall and a man, so she instinctively thought it was Shen Wanci on the sofa.

"Go wake her up and tell her to get a room at a nearby hotel."

Jiang Yazhu reached out to push him, but a low chuckle echoed from above her head. It was the man beside her.

Her hand froze mid-air. This was not Bo Rongxuan's voice.

Time seemed to stop. She mechanically turned her head slowly, the movement stiff and grating, even producing a clicking sound in her neck. The man's face was hidden in shadow, completely obscured.

The other person looked down at her, but she still couldn't see his face. Jiang Yajiu was a little panicked, why couldn't she see? Where was Rong Xuan? Who was the person on the sofa? She had been awake for so long, why was that person still motionless?

The man's fingers slid across her face, the icy touch sending a shiver down her spine. "What a kindhearted girl," he said.

This sentence is simply a curse. Jiang Yazhu closed her eyes: "Ah~~"

"Tap."

The light flickered on, and footsteps echoed.

"Ya Zhu…" Jiang Ya Zhu was helped up from the bed, and the next second, Bo Rong Xuan's voice came: "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Jiang Yajiu opened her eyes, still shaken. The first thing she saw was Bo Rongxuan and Shen Wanci's concerned faces. "I just... Was I dreaming?"

Her gaze swept around the ward, failing to see anyone else. Only then did her tense body slowly relax. "Wǎncí, you still have to work tomorrow, you don't need to..."

Her voice stopped, her eyes fixed on the cup on the bedside table, a straw sticking out of it.

Shen Wanci saw her face was wrong, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Jiang Yajue stared hard at the cup: "Just now... did you guys make me drink water?"

"No, you started yelling as soon as you woke up," Bo Rongxuan saw her staring intently at the cup: "Do you want some water?"

Seeing him reach for the cup, Jiang Yajue's emotions suddenly spiraled out of control, "No, I don't want to drink water."

She directly overturned the cup to the ground, the glass shattered everywhere. Jiang Yazhu tightly grasped his sleeve: “He came here, he definitely came here.”

Bo Rongxuan was afraid that she would get too excited and something bad might happen, so he hurriedly hugged her to comfort her: "No, you were just dreaming just now. I and Wanci have been in the ward all the time. No one came just now, and after ten o'clock, no visitors are allowed at the hospital. It's past eleven now, he couldn't come, you are too stressed, which led to wishful thinking in dreams."

"No, he really came here. He just gave me water a moment ago, with this straw..." she pointed to the straw in the middle of the pile of broken glass, "... I bit it just now, pick it up and see if there are still teeth marks on it."

Shen Wanci: "Mom, please calm down first. I'm going to the security room to check the surveillance cameras. If someone really came just now, the surveillance cameras definitely captured it."

She went to the monitoring room, but found nothing as expected.

After that little incident, she lost her sleepiness, but instead of going upstairs immediately, she went for a walk in the small garden outside, giving her parents some space.

She walked aimlessly until she stopped by a fountain. It was evening now, and the fountain wasn't running. The water inside had turned a sickly green. Shen Wanci dialed Bo Jingzhou's number and recounted what had just happened. "Do you think it was Mom's nightmare, or did someone really come?"

Monitoring only covers the corridors, and if you encounter a highly skilled hacker, it's not impossible to fake it.

He was silent for a long time, Shen Wanci thought he was thinking about the question she asked, but when he spoke, he blamed her: "Didn't I ask you to rest at home? Why did you go to the hospital?"

Shen Wanci: "..."

Realizing that his previous attitude had been a bit cold, Bo Jingzhou softened his tone when he spoke again: "Where are you now?"

"Taking a stroll in the hospital garden."

"I'm done here, wait for me in the hall, I'll come get you..."

Shen Wanci was focused on her phone call when a sudden chill ran down her spine. She felt as if someone was watching her. Her body tensed instantly, and she then pretended to be nonchalant as she walked towards the security guard's room. "Good, have you reached the entrance? I'll be out in a moment."

"I'm here at the fountain, you go this way."

The feeling of being watched was inescapable. Shen Wanci suppressed her nervousness and didn't show any discomfort, until she reached the hall, no one suddenly rushed out to stop her.

Bo Jingzhou arrived very quickly. Seeing Shen Wanci sitting safely and sound in the hall, he immediately pulled her into his arms.

Shen Wanci was held by him, and she didn't see the flash of panic in his eyes.

The two went upstairs to see Jiang Yajue. Her emotions had calmed down, but because visiting hours were over, they hadn't spoken two sentences before the on-duty nurse came to chase them away.

On her way back, Shen Wanci received a WeChat message. The moment she saw the content, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned to look at Bo Jingzhou who was driving.

Noticing her gaze, Bo Jingzhou turned his head and glanced at her: "What's up?"

"Are you busy this Wednesday night? Yuezhi recommended a Chinese restaurant to me before, saying it tastes good. Should we give it a try? They have an opening that day."

"I have a dinner engagement on Wednesday night, so it'll be late. Would you like to reschedule?"

Shen Wanci didn't force it: "Okay."

……

On Wednesday, Miss Qiao got engaged.

When Shen Wanci walked into the hall holding Qin Yuezhi's hand, she didn't cause much of a stir.

Qin Yuezhi: "Are you familiar with this Miss Qiao?"

"Not familiar."

"Aren't you going to the engagement party? And it's couples going, you bring me, a woman, and people will think we are..."

She suddenly choked, after a long pause blurted out a curse: "Damn it, it's Bo Jingzhou and that little green tea bitch."
