Originally, Ye Yang was supposed to leave at eight, but then the nurse came in and said she needed to take Song Jiaqi for a thorough check-up. If there were no issues, she could be discharged today.
Song Jiaqi was afraid Ye Yang might insist on staying, so before he could say anything, she said, "Donāt you have an interview? You should go first. It starts at ten; you can sleep for two hours in the van..."
As she said this, she felt very guilty remembering how he had taken care of her all night.
Ye Yang kept checking the time.
The nurse noticed and said, "Yes, Ye Yang, youāve taken care of her all night and havenāt had a proper rest. I promise you, Iāll take good care of her!"
Ye Yang put his watch down and said, "Never mind, thereās still time. Iāll go with you."
...
Because he accompanied Song Jiaqi for the check-up, it was nearly nine-thirty when Ye Yang left, and Andy had called several times, urging him.
"Although thereās nothing wrong with you now, thereās no one to take care of you at home, so itās better for you to stay here. Donāt worry about Xiaoxi, Andy has already taken her to the site. She has already recovered from the fever, so there shouldnāt be any issues. If anything happens, weāll bring her over. You should rest well."
Looking at his pant legs, still with a hint of dirt on them, Song Jiaqi felt a bit uneasy.
And she was a little worried inside.
He wonāt be in trouble, will he?
He didnāt sleep last night, and today he has to attend an interview...
...
The medication had a side effect of causing drowsiness, and unfortunately, Song Jiaqi succumbed to it.
She was lying in bed watching the news, and it was Ye Yangās past news reports on the screen. Accompanied by his voice, sleepiness washed over her, and she slowly fell asleep.
In her deep sleep, she seemed to hear someone approaching her. She wanted to open her eyes to see, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldnāt open them. It was as if she had a sleep disorder, she could hear the external sounds, but her body couldnāt move.
Commonly known as sleep paralysis.
Every time she "opened her eyes," it wasnāt a real awakening. It was actually a dream within a dream. She thought she had woken up, but the next second sheād realize she was still trapped in her dream.
Help me...
The feeling was incredibly uncomfortable, and she felt a bit anxious.
She had researched online for solutions to this symptom before, which suggested trying to move the body. Once you moved, you could break free from the sleep paralysis.
But the problem now is...
She simply couldnāt move!
Song Jiaqi kept trying, then felt a hand on her forehead and heard a familiar voice.
"Jia Qi, you must be well, you really must be... I still owe you a debt I havenāt repaid."
This voice is...
After experiencing the dream within a dream several more times, on what might have been the umpteenth time, Song Jiaqi suddenly opened her eyes. Without thinking too much, she sat up, moved around a bit to make sure she was actually awake. She was in the real world.
She blinked a few times, confirmed she had broken free from sleep paralysis, then breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her hand to wipe her forehead, which was covered in cold sweat. Her chest felt heavy and uncomfortable.
Suddenly, she paused.
The act of wiping her forehead reminded her of the feeling from a moment ago.
An Hao...
Did she really come, or was it just a dream?
There was no evidence at the scene to prove she had been there, and the voice she heard, she couldnāt tell whether it was real or not.
