Chen Jiancheng stood in front of the mirror as Jin Ru helped him put on his shirt. When she was done, she caressed his cheek and said,
"Alright, go to sleep!"
"Where are you going?" Chen Jiancheng asked.
"To sleep."
She answered casually.
"Sleep here."
Chen Jiancheng pointed to his bed.
She looked at him blankly.
Fearing she would refuse, Chen Jiancheng stepped forward and embraced her with one arm.
He said,
"Just for one night. It's been so long since I've held you."
Jin Ru laughed as she looked at him, and she agreed.
The two lay on the same bed. The lights were off, and the room was pitch black, but both were still awake.
He asked her,
"How have you been living all these years?"
"I've always missed you."
She answered softly, then hesitated before asking,
"And you?"
"Life without you was very dull. I felt adrift, and I thought we would never meet again."
"Me too."
"But what happened?" he asked.
"I don't know."
She thought to herself, five years ago, her house collapsed, leading to her coma. That was when she transmigrated. Could it be an airplane accident this time?
"I found out you often went in and out of Quy Nhon. Do you miss that place a lot?"
"That's right, that place holds memories of you. Four years ago, when I returned to my world, I was devastated. I went to that place, and I even thought about lying in the vast ocean to see if I could meet you in the next life. But an old couple on the beach saved me. They told me I would definitely meet the person I loved again."
When Chen Jiancheng heard her story, he hugged her tightly. He hadn't realized she had such negative thoughts when he wasn't by her side.
"If you had done something foolish that day, how would we have met again now?" he asked.
"Oh, right?" She smiled and hugged him.
"From now on, if we ever get separated again, try to live well, because we will definitely meet again, okay, dear?"
He stroked her hair.
"I know, you too, okay? Don't smoke anymore."
"How do you know!"
He asked in surprise.
"Because I love you, I can feel everything about you."
Chen Jiancheng smiled, pulled her face close, and kissed her lips.
The kiss was light and fleeting. He held her tightly and whispered,
"There will be no more separations."
"That's right."
She replied.
That morning, she woke up early to prepare for work. Chen Jiancheng, looking years younger, stood to see her off.
Ming Jian was taking his wife to work, so he offered to take Jin Ru along.
Mei Jin left a remark for Chen Jiancheng before she left.
"You look like a little wife, don't you?"
In the car, Mei Jin sat in the back seat with Jin Ru.
After a while, Ming Jian spoke up.
"Welcome back!"
Jin Ru looked at him blankly, then at Mei Jin, who just smiled.
She understood the meaning of his words and laughed loudly.
"Now you have to call me 'Jie' (older sister)."
More than a month later, Chen Jiancheng had his cast removed. Jin Ru went to the hospital with him.
After they were done and about to leave, Chen Jiancheng received a phone call.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Hello, Mr. Chen. Patient Li Wanru has woken up. Please come to the hospital for a moment."
"Alright, I'm already at the hospital."
He hung up, took her hand, and said hesitantly,
"Li Wanru has woken up."
Jin Ru was surprised. The original owner... No! Is she still alive?
"Shall we go see her for a bit?" he asked.
"Yes, of course!" She agreed.
Chen Jiancheng led her to a high-class hospital room and explained to her,
"At that time, I was afraid you were still there, so I wanted to take the best care of you."
"I don't have any objections!" She smiled at him.
The two stood in front of the hospital room door.
Seeing Li Wanru undergoing basic doctor's examinations, she said to him,
"Don't go in, let me go inside."
He nodded.
Cai Jinru walked in, and everyone in the room noticed her.
Li Wanru looked at her for a moment. The doctor quickly finished the examination and left.
Only then did Li Wanru ask,
"Who are you?"
"Don't you know me?" Jinru asked back.
Li Wanru shook her head and asked again,
"Are you a member of my family?"
Jinru frowned. The question was clearly problematic.
Could she have lost her memory?
"I'm just your friend!"
"Then do you know who my family is?" Li Wanru asked.
"Let me call your family and tell them you've woken up!"
"Thank you very much then."
After a while of talking, Jinru confirmed that Li Wanru had indeed lost her memory.
She let her rest and then went out. Chen Jiancheng was still waiting for her outside.
"Did Wanru's family visit her over the years?" she asked him.
Chen Jiancheng shook his head.
Although she didn't like Wanru's true personality, she had lived in her circumstances and could somewhat empathize.
She sighed and said,
"Have someone call her older sister. Her parents are completely unreliable, and her sister is a toss-up."
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
"Honey!" Jinru tightly held his hand and then said,
"It seems she's lost her memory!"
"It's not because of your accident back then!" Jiancheng caressed her face and continued,
"Xin An told me that because she overused the system, her body rejected her soul. The memory loss is a result of that."
"Ah!" She nodded, understanding.
But...
"Xin An? Where is Xin An, honey?" Only then did she remember Xin An's existence, who had helped her so much back then.
Chen Jiancheng looked at her and smiled. He didn't say anything, but led her out of the hospital, buckled her seatbelt in the car, and then said,
"When we reach a beautiful ending, I'll take you to see her!"
Jinru was vaguely confused by his words, but he said they should reach a beautiful ending? Being together, meeting again like this, wasn't that already a beautiful ending?
