Chapter 4

Afterwards, Xia Qianqian suddenly didn't know what to say. Her mind was in a mess, and she didn't even scold anymore.To be honest, Xia Qianqian felt that seeing even Gu Wan's personality cry, one could imagine how painful it must have been for her when she was with Lu Yu. At that time, Xia Qianqian was like every friend who hated iron not becoming steel, and couldn't wait for them to break up soon.

However, when this day really came, Xia Qianqian didn't feel it was so wonderful anymore.

At least when she was with Lu Yu, she would cry, laugh, be sad, and feel bad. Of course, she could also feel happy in the cracks, and live more like a person, not numb like now.

No matter if she agreed or disagreed, Xia Qianqian always hoped that Gu Wan would be fine. So after struggling for a long time, Xia Qianqian said dryly something nice about Lu Yu, "Indeed."

Oh my god, I can't believe there would be a day when I would speak for Lu Yu.

Forcibly enduring, Xia Qianqian held her nose and continued to add, "I think you can try to get along with Lu Yu later."

The most ideal thing would be for her and Lu Yu to reach a subtle balance between them, where she wouldn't feel painful but could still draw happiness from Lu Yu. There was simply nothing more perfect. Xia Qianqian started imagining in her mind out of habit.

Seeing the distortion under Xia Qianqian's expression, Gu Wan couldn't help but chuckle softly, feeling that Xia Qianqian's attitude had changed too quickly. She still remembered Xia Qianqian's fierce stare at Lu Yu yesterday.

Xia Qianqian was furious with shame and couldn't pretend anymore. After throwing away a sentence of "Damn you, I don't care about you anymore", she left as hurriedly as when she came, just like the wind.

In the next few days, Xia Qianqian did not come again.

Knowing her personality of being lazy and afraid of heat, and seeing that she was indeed fine, Gu Wan did not take it to heart.

Similarly, Lu Yu did not come either.

Out of curiosity, Gu Wan took out her chat history with Lu Yu in between.

At first, Gu Wan wondered how she used to get along with a man like Lu Yu. But after spending a whole day reading through it, the only sentence left in Gu Wan's mind was the recently popular online saying, "I really want a pair of eyes that have never seen."

Gu Wan suspected that her former self had been possessed, and now the possessor was gone, so she didn't remember anything.

Gu Wan refused to admit that person was herself.

For a while, words like "system", "crossover", "rebirth" and so on filled Gu Wan's mind. She really couldn't hold back and sent her doubts to Xia Qianqian.

On the other end of the phone, Xia Qianqian was overjoyed, because it was rare to see Gu Wan lose her composure like this. Although she didn't know the specific content, it must have been very "special".

After quite a while, when Xia Qianqian finally laughed enough, Gu Wan finally received a definite answer.

Don't worry, even I didn't notice anything wrong, it must not have happened.

Xia Qianqian grew up with Gu Wan since childhood and was familiar with all her little habits. If it was really a "crossover" or "possession" plot, she surely wouldn't be able to hide it from her eyes.

Looking at the goose bumps on her arm that still didn't fade away, Gu Wan had to admit that the person was indeed herself.

She had never known that she was the kind of person who liked to escape. Gu Wan put on a wooden face and deleted the chat records almost without hesitation. As for whether her future self would regret it after recovering her memory, what would that have to do with her present self anyway.

Looking at the empty chat interface, Gu Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

And almost at the same time, Xia Qianqian's message came again. Gu Wan watched her ask indifferently among all the caring questions, "By the way, what did you and Lu Yu say to each other?" The curiosity and gossip were oozing out undisguised.

Gu Wan sent her the empty screenshot without hesitation or scruple.

Xia Qianqian: I can't believe you did that.

As for how many dolls Xia Qianqian smashed secretly behind and how many IQ points were suppressed in annoyance, that was none of Gu Wan's concern.

Hearing the nurse's urging, Gu Wan put down her phone.

Except for resting in bed and occasional vomiting in the first two days, Gu Wan would follow the nurse downstairs for morning activities recently.

The not very spacious activity area was crowded with people, most of whom were couples, while a minority were parents and children.

The two nurses were hired from a professional institution by the housekeeper at a high price. They hadn't contacted Gu Wan before, so of course they didn't know what exactly was the situation of this young rich lady.

Although they didn't know, they could vaguely feel from the fact that she hadn't contacted her parents for so many days, this was absolutely not a good topic, so they never mentioned it.

Although they didn't mention it, that didn't mean others wouldn't.

There were many people in the activity area, and even more familiar ones. Seeing that the employer didn't restrict much, the two nurses gradually chatted with people for a few words.

Gu Wan felt interesting after finishing the activity, so she followed the two and sat on the edge of the flower bed amid their hesitant expressions.

As soon as she appeared, everyone's attention and attention quickly focused on her. Within this short while, someone even took the initiative to introduce her to a partner.

The two nurses couldn't help gasping.

Gu Wan was also taken aback for a moment, then had to say that she was already married and felt sorry to disappoint the other party.

The aunt who introduced her partner was extremely regretful. She never expected that this girl who looked quite young, probably only in her early twenties, was already married. She sighed that good girls were taken early.

Gu Wan just smiled without saying anything. Seeing her gentle manner, the originally regretful aunt somehow became even more pained.

Later on, they chatted to Gu Wan's work, life and parents.

Hearing the last question, the two nurses began to regret why they had talked to these people just now.

Just as the nurses were about to interrupt this topic unceremoniously, they heard Gu Wan pause for a moment, and then said in a slightly plain tone that her parents had passed away years ago.

The small flower bed suddenly fell silent, especially the one who brought up the topic, now wishing she could slap herself.

Gu Wan knew in her heart that they didn't mean it. Many people would talk about these topics when chatting, so she didn't feel unhappy.

But they didn't think like her. The rest felt awful about it. Gu Wan said a few more words trying to ease the atmosphere, but the result...

Seeing that the atmosphere was really too awkward, Gu Wan had to give up and said she was tired and was going upstairs.

Finally, the aunt who asked the question rushed over when they were about to walk into the inpatient building, stuffed a bag of fruits she had just hurriedly bought into the nurse's hands, smiled apologetically at Gu Wan, and it was over.

Back in the ward, when the two nurses were hesitating about what to do, Gu Wan had already taken out a bunch of grapes from inside.

The later Gu Wan ate grapes while looking out the window from time to time.

Seeing this scene and remembering so many couples, parents and children in the activity area downstairs, the two nurses looked at each other, suddenly not knowing what to say.

At this moment, looking at the noisy scenery outside the window, Gu Wan recalled the deleted chat records again, where she was passionate and enthusiastic, but the response was sparse.

Another two days passed in a blink of an eye. Gu Wan, who was hospitalized for daily observation according to procedure, was notified by the hospital that she could be discharged early.

Although it was originally said to be one week, it had only been five days now, but Gu Wan did not say much and nodded obediently to the doctor's words.

One nurse went to complete the discharge procedures, while the other packed things up. Xia Qianqian didn't think too much and assumed that Gu Wan had already told Lu Yu about it. However, she didn't know that Gu Wan was not familiar with Lu Yu at all now, and that she had been used to solving all troubles by herself since she was young, never taking the initiative to contact anyone except Xia Qianqian. So...

When everyone went downstairs and saw the business car in front, Xia Qianqian was still wondering if Lu Yu's company had encountered any difficulties recently and suddenly reduced the grade of cars used.

Not until the vehicle was driving on an exceptionally familiar route did Xia Qianqian finally react, "Wait, isn't this the way back to your home?" Even the driver looked unfamiliar.

Regarding the "home" Xia Qianqian mentioned, Gu Wan could only think of the one she had lived in since she was a child.

Subsequently, Gu Wan reacted that she seemed to have gotten married.

The two stared at each other for a good while before Gu Wan asked, "So where do I live now?"

"You even forgot something like this?" Xia Qianqian was shocked. She had genuinely forgotten everything related to Lu Yu, even the house was not spared. No, this was just too bizarre.

Fortunately, Xia Qianqian had indeed been to Gu Wan's new home more than once. Gu Wan could still change her destination for the time being. It was just that Gu Wan's sudden return had given the housekeeper a huge shock.

After reacting, the housekeeper hurriedly opened the door to welcome them.

Gu Wan had just walked in and before she could even take in her surroundings, the first thing that caught her eyes was the huge wedding photo diagonally placed in the living room.

To be honest, the wedding photo looked great, and the protagonists in it were dazzlingly eye-catching, comparable to a work of art. Logically, Gu Wan should like it. It was just that she knew herself well, she was not the kind of person who liked showing off, unless

Gu Wan recalled the deleted chat records which only had a few sporadic replies.

Unless it was something she did not get, so she would want to flaunt it.

Gu Wan did not say anything for the moment.

After Xia Qianqian sent her home, she left. Looking at the surroundings and all the furnishings, even the ornaments, they were all in styles that she liked. This made Gu Wan have to admit that what Xia Qianqian said in the car was true — she had personally looked for the designer and supervised the site, before the house was renovated to what it was now.

But previously, she had never been willing to take such pains, let alone renovate a house. Even Gu Wan herself could not figure out how she had resolved this matter back then.

Rejecting the housekeeper's company, Gu Wan located the master bedroom and walked in. At this point, Gu Wan was already a little afraid to examine this more private room in detail. Following her habits, she found a safe in the walk-in closet and opened it. Unsurprisingly, there was a safe deposit box inside.

Gu Wan had the habit of keeping valuables in a safe deposit box, she just did not know since when a marriage certificate was considered a valuable. Even if thieves really broke in, they would not be willing to steal this.

She inputted the password and opened the safe deposit box. Gu Wan was both surprised and unsurprised to see two little red books neatly placed inside.

After taking them out and carefully identifying them, she completely gave up.

It was real, there was even the seal of the Civil Affairs Bureau on them.

Just as Gu Wan was about to close the safe door, she inadvertently caught sight of an unfamiliar document inside. At least based on her current memories, this thing had not appeared before. Gu Wan paused for a moment, then took out the document and flipped it open.

It turned out to be a share transfer agreement, with Lu Yu's name written as the transferor, and herself as the transferee.

Gu Wan could not help but squat there for a while, dumbfounded. She felt that Lu Yu was an extremely generous person, even willing to give away his company shares.

After waiting for a while without seeing Gu Wan make any move, the housekeeper, who was worried sick and suspecting something had happened to his mistress again, was about to go upstairs and check. Just then, he saw Gu Wan walk out slowly from the room.

The moment the two laid eyes on each other, the housekeeper heard her take what seemed like a deep breath. Then, she said, "Take away all the wedding photos in the living room and master bedroom and put them in the store room."

Lu Yu was a good person. Gu Wan decided not to torture herself or him anymore.

Ignoring the housekeeper who was shocked beyond measure, Gu Wan smiled at him, then went straight downstairs.

Somehow, the housekeeper felt like something had completely changed.

At the same time, on the other side.

Lu Yu had spent a few days dealing with the company's matters. After taking a short rest for several hours, Lu Yu managed to arrive at the hospital before nightfall this time.

Striding through the long corridor, the man walked straight towards the ward.

The nurses who saw him did not realise who he was at first. By the time something seemed to come to their minds and they wanted to call out a reminder, Lu Yu was already turning the door handle. A nurse could only let out an abrupt syllable.

"Umm!"

The next second, the ward door opened completely.

It was empty inside, only the lingering glow from the setting sun remained, but the person who should have been lying there quietly was gone without a trace.
