She sat up and gently patted He Lin's head. "He Lin, it's alright, you're dreaming."
Yu Lian regretted not asking clearly how to comfort him, because after she had only said a few words of comfort, He Lin's condition seemed to have worsened.
His body began to tremble, tears streamed down his face, and he let out painful sobs.
Yu Lian rushed closer and gently patted his face. "He Lin, don't be afraid, He Lin? Can you hear me?"
Yu Lian's first reaction was to feed him some spiritual spring water.
But considering his current condition, I knew he definitely wouldn't be able to get it in.
Helpless, she called out to He Lin softly while wiping away his tears.
He Lin grabbed her hand and, before Yu Lian could react, pressed it tightly against his face.
Then He Lin's words gradually became clearer, changing to "I'm sorry."
Yu Lian was wondering who He Lin had wronged when she heard her own name called out the next second.
"I'm sorry... It's my fault... I'm the one who killed you... Yu Lian... I'm so sorry."
He Lin's tears flowed more and more, soaking his pillow.
Yu Lian felt a mix of emotions. She moved closer and took her own pillowcase, placing it under his pillow.
When she was adjusting the pillowcase, she wrapped her arms around He Lin's head.
Once it was all done, it was too late to back out.
He Lin held her tightly, refusing to let go.
Yu Lian's first instinct was to kick the man away. With her current strength, she could easily kick He Lin off the bed. But then she thought that He Lin was a patient and that he was currently unconscious and not in a conscious state.
Yu Lian then tried to be gentle and slowly pried his hands apart.
While Yu Lian was trying, He Lin was still talking in his sleep.
"I'm sorry... please don't go... I'll die in your place, okay... I know you have your reasons... it's all my fault for being so useless... please don't be angry..."
He Lin spoke these kinds of self-reproaching words for nearly half an hour, and they all ended with her name being mentioned.
Yu Lian didn't know why He Lin had such deep feelings for her, or if it was just in her dreams.
She was confused and decided to consult a professional doctor tomorrow.
After struggling for a long time to no avail, Yu Lian gave up.
In addition, the more she tried to persuade He Lin, the more unstable his emotions became, so she gave up.
She reached out and tentatively touched He Lin's body before boldly touching him.
He explored back and forth between his pectoral and abdominal muscles.
She subconsciously smacked her lips, thinking that although He Lin was sick, he was still in good shape, and he probably wouldn't mind if she touched him a couple of times.
Neither of them slept well that night.
Although He Lin was not very skilled at playing the victim for the first time, the result was good.
This also confirmed his guess: Yu Lian responds better to gentleness than force, so he needed to show a different side of himself.
……
The next day.
After breakfast, Yu Lian received a call from her father, who told her that her mother and sister were coming. She was so excited that she didn't know what to do.
"Mom, is that Grandma?"
"Yes, you'll be able to meet my grandma soon."
Communication between the two places is inconvenient, and the children, especially those who are only two or three years old, probably have no memory of their grandmothers and aunts.
They usually exchange letters two or three times a year.
"You all stay home obediently and behave. I'll be back this afternoon, okay?"
"Mom, don't worry, I'll take good care of my younger brother and sister."
An'an sat quietly by the window reading a book, occasionally looking up to respond to her mother.
"He Lin, I'm leaving now. You... take care of yourself."
"I'll go with you."
"No, you have to stay home. You can't do without an adult at home."
He Lin remembered that his younger sister was coming over, "Lanlan."
"She's not here yet. Ask her if she'll be here soon, then you can come with me."
He Lin made a phone call, but her sister tricked her at that moment.
"There's no other way; we'll have to meet eventually. It's only a matter of two or three hours. Just stay home and wait."
Yu Lian acted swiftly and decisively, giving He Lin no further chance to speak.
Yu Lian glanced at the time. It would take more than an hour to drive there, and there were still more than three hours to go, so there was plenty of time.
Yu Lian first came to the research institute to pick up her father.
When Yu Lian saw him, she was startled. He had no beard or anything, and had a clean-cut haircut, making him look much younger.
Zhuo Heng, standing to the side, laughed, seemingly unaware of what was going on, and said, "Sister Nian, you've finally arrived. Uncle Yu seems a bit off today, especially since you've shaved all his fur off."
Zhuo Heng's teasing caused a burst of laughter from the people in the conference room.
Yu Lian looked at her father. They had reached a critical juncture, yet Zhuo Heng seemed to be kept in the dark.
"Um, aren't you going to tell me?"
We had agreed beforehand that we would talk about it once everything was over and the family was reunited.
Yu Jinbu then remembered, "Oh right, I haven't told everyone before because it was inconvenient, but Yu Nian is my biological daughter."
Instead of the shocking scene they had imagined, everyone laughed even harder.
Zhuo Heng patted Yu Lian on the shoulder. "We all know."
"Huh? Everyone knows? Who said that?"
This matter could be either her or her father, but neither of them seems like they would be talking about it.
Yu Lian considered one possibility: "Did you say that while you were drunk?"
The change in laughter confirmed Yu Lian's suspicions.
"Never mind, let's go."
Yu Jinbu said to his subordinates, "I'm going to pick up Yu Lian's mother and younger sister. I'll introduce you to them in a couple of days."
This remark has caused quite a reaction.
Yu Lian led her father out the door, nagging him all the way not to drink alcohol in the future.
My father is good in every way, except that he's developed a drinking habit in recent years.
Although it doesn't interfere with important matters, sometimes when he's drunk, his mouth just flows like it has no strings attached, and he says all sorts of things.
"Fortunately, there are no outsiders in the team."
"Yes, it's my fault. I promise you in front of your mother that I will never drink it again."
Speaking of this, Yu Lian looked pitifully at her father, "You'd better not get involved in this matter for now..."
Yu Lian silently shut her mouth; they probably wouldn't be back for at least an hour or two if they didn't make a scene.
"Oh, here are the keys, Dad. I have something to ask Dr. Kui. I'll be right back. You can drive the car out first."
Yu Lian said this and ran back.
"Old Kui, I have a question for you."
"You're not going with your dad?"
"We need to go, it's a bit urgent, hurry up."
Old Kui followed Yu Lian to his office, but when he saw Yu Lian mysteriously lock the door, he had a feeling that something bad was going on, so he didn't dare to sit down.
"This isn't work-related. I want to ask about my ex-husband's condition and have a consultation with you. He has severe nightmares, he shakes, and cries while saying sorry. Why is that?"
"I've always been bothered by this."
"But he was talking in his sleep!"
"It depends on the situation. Your ex-husband's condition is so serious that you need to take it seriously. This might be his inner conflict. He completely distrusts the outside world right now, but I can see that he trusts you a lot..."
Speaking of herself, Yu Lian hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "In my dream, he kept apologizing to me, saying he was sorry, that he had ruined me, that he was incompetent and had ruined me, and asking me to forgive him. But the truth is, he did nothing wrong in our breakup; it was my own fault for certain reasons."
Yu Lian thought about it very seriously for two seconds and finally came to a conclusion, "So Dr. Kui, could it be that he has a problem with his brain and is still holding a grudge against me for bringing up divorce first, and even cursed his whole family before he left?"
Dr. Kui, sitting in his chair, has been practicing medicine for many years and has seen all kinds of oddballs.
But this was the first time he had ever seen someone so young with a brain like that of an old, rotten piece of wood.
