Chapter 97 Xie Zhiyan discovers that Shu Ying's personality has changed.

He could hear every word Shu Ying said clearly.

In the darkness, he sensed Shu Ying's unease and realized her helplessness.

He tried desperately to break through the darkness, but found it was all in vain.

He kept searching for an exit, but no matter how he walked around, he would always end up back where he started.

He had walked to the same place countless times, and he was extremely anxious, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Could it be that I've already arrived in the underworld? But I haven't even seen my child yet. Shuying, are you crying?"

Xie Zhiyan raised his head, not knowing where he was trapped; he only thought he was dead.

But he did so much; at least let him see his child before he died.

He left this world with many unfulfilled wishes, leaving behind a great deal of regret.

He kept patting his surroundings, but his limbs were as if they were tied together, and every organ in his body was out of his control.

He wanted to settle Shuying and the child in, and wanted to see what the child looked like.

He had been trying to respond to Shu Ying's words, but it seemed that the people outside couldn't hear him at all.

Xie Zhiyan was trapped here in fear, not knowing what to do or how to comfort Shu Ying.

Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly heard Shu Ying say that she wanted to remarry and that she wanted her child to call someone else "Dad." He was very anxious.

There seemed to be some light not far ahead. He walked forward with great joy, when suddenly he heard Shu Ying calling Jiang Yunzhou's name again.

That was Shu Yingde's childhood sweetheart. They had grown up together since they were little and had an extraordinary bond. Xie Zhiyan instantly felt a sense of crisis and woke up in a hurry.

The man lay on the bed in a daze. Shu Ying carefully helped him up and added a pillow behind his back to make him more comfortable.

"Do you feel any discomfort anywhere in your body right now? The doctor said your injury is very serious."

Shu Ying's voice grew softer and softer. If Xie Zhiyan hadn't been dragging his ailing body to find her, he wouldn't have encountered such a situation.

Meeting again in this life and the next, Shu Ying felt a little apprehensive.

Her heart was pounding in her chest, like a stressed kitten.

Xie Zhiyan's face was still pale. He shook his head slightly. His injuries had been healed a lot after being treated by the spiritual spring water.

Is there any water?

His voice was hoarse, unlike his usual deep voice, and Shu Ying couldn't even hear it clearly.

She tilted her head and leaned even closer, her ear almost touching Xie Zhiyan's lips.

What did you just say?

The girl's soft hair brushed against Xie Zhiyan's face; the two were very close.

Xie Zhiyan's breath landed on her face, and he stiffened as he looked at the face that had suddenly loomed larger in front of him.

The man swallowed hard, his limbs aching all over, the new wounds and old ones making him feel like he was being torn in two.

He stared intently at Shu Ying, as if trying to capture her image.

"water."

Xie Zhiyan repeated it again, and Shu Ying finally heard it clearly.

She nodded repeatedly, immediately got up from the hospital bed, quickly grabbed a clean water glass, and poured him a full glass of spiritual spring water.

Seeing the empty space in front of him, Xie Zhiyan couldn't hide his disappointment. His hand, which had been reaching out to touch Shu Ying's hair, froze in mid-air.

Shu Ying added some hot water to the cup: "When the doctor came to examine you, he said that your throat was slightly damaged and you might have some mild stinging. This is normal. He will come tomorrow to prescribe some painkillers, and it should relieve the pain in a couple of days. Don't worry."

Shu Ying carefully placed the water in Xie Zhiyan's hand, just as if she were taking care of a small child.

Their fingertips touched lightly, Xie Zhiyan's hand feeling slightly cool.

Shu Ying's long eyelashes fluttered, concealing the little worries she had been harboring for so long.

Xie Zhiyan coughed lightly and drank more than half a cup of water in one gulp. The water temperature that Shu Ying had set was just right.

With the water's moisture, my stinging throat finally felt a little better.

Shu Ying sat down in the chair and casually took the empty water glass from his hand.

She turned on the light, and the bright overhead light made every strand of her hair glow.

Shu Ying turned around and looked at Xie Zhiyan nervously, as if afraid that he would fall asleep again in the next second.

Her eyes flickered, and remembering that Xie Zhiyan had just woken up and needed some time to recover, she took the initiative to explain, "On your way back to the capital, there was a train collision, and in order to evacuate the crowd—"

"Shuying".

Before Shu Ying could finish speaking, Xie Zhiyan suddenly called her name, exactly as he remembered.

With a polite yet intimate distance, Shu Ying immediately sat up straight, and Xie Zhiyan lowered his voice upon seeing this.

"I don't have amnesia; I remember everything about when I was injured."

Shu Ying lowered her head: "Oh."

She was worried that he wouldn't be able to keep up with her thinking, but who would have thought he could do it so quickly?

She propped her face up with her hand and pointed to the pillow on the hospital bed: "Do you want to sleep a little longer? It's almost midnight, there's still plenty of time."

She originally thought it would take him at least three days to wake up, but she didn't expect Xie Zhiyan to be so resilient. He woke up that very night after she gave him an acupuncture treatment.

Shu Ying looked away somewhat guiltily; in fact, she had been quite uneasy since she arrived.

Although Uncle Zheng had already shown her a way, it wouldn't be right for her to live under someone else's roof while raising two children alone. Xie Zhiyan was her last lifeline.

Now that she saw him finally wake up, Shu Ying felt a weight lifted from her heart, but she couldn't help but keep looking up to secretly confirm it.

Xie Zhiyan gently shook his head. He had slept for a long time and wasn't very sleepy anymore.

I thought I would never see Shu Ying again, but I never expected that he would come back to life.

Seeing Shu Ying's different appearance now, he still doesn't understand what's going on.

Shu Ying isn't usually like this, so why is she so concerned about him today?
