Oh no, my deskmate is a yandere!

The rain poured down relentlessly.

The dim lighting isolated the two people embracing on the sidewalk, turning them into an indispensable landmark in this rainy world.

Confusion, fear, anxiety.

Jiang Nianxi held the unconscious young man tightly in her arms, her body trembling slightly.

She didn't know how to describe her complicated feelings at that moment.

Little fool...

……

Yang An felt as if he were drifting aimlessly in a vast ocean.

There are no answers to questions about where to go or where to come from.

Drifting down, drifting down...

Like a small boat, a willow leaf adrift, never seeing the end in sight.

"..."

Memories of the past flashed by like a fleeting glimpse.

In elementary school, I finally mustered up the courage to participate in the school sports meet, but I fell on the track and became a laughing stock.

In junior high, I played so much that I forgot to do my homework and was made to stand outside the classroom as punishment.

High school was unremarkable; I only wanted to work day and night for the sake of a so-called bright future.

He felt that his life story was already mediocre enough and didn't need any spice.

That's how it is for everyone; youth comes and youth goes.

Some people have rich and colorful lives, so youth feels very short, like a dream at night, gone in an instant.

But for most people, life revolves around mundane necessities like cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, studying, and exams—a monotonous and uneventful existence.

So, can we understand that the youth of ordinary people is actually very long?

Because it's so captivating, you can see the whole thing at a glance.

Because of mediocrity, the end is nowhere in sight.

Be yourself?

What does it mean to be yourself?

Ideal and reality, illusion and truth.

The dividing line is never so clear; no one can say for sure which unfortunate person fate will point its blade at next.

I want to get rid of Jiang Nianxi... get rid of Su Lingyi...

It's not that Yang An truly doesn't understand reciprocation or deep affection.

This love is too heavy, so heavy that almost no one can bear it.

He has good intentions.

But his youth was spent in mediocrity, living in the expectations of others.

And now, he just wants to...

be yourself.

Simply live for yourself.

He would repay Jiang Nianxi's kindness, but he also knew that once he accepted this almost bottomless kindness with a clear conscience, he would be at a disadvantage. He would accept this kindness that was constantly being nurtured by exploiting other people's hard work.

The price will never be paid.

"His breathing is steady, the external injuries aren't serious, he might have a concussion..."

Will he wake up again?

"Don't worry, the vast majority of them are minor wounds, and some people may have a fever, but it won't damage their brains."

"besides……"

"..."

"Ugh... hiss."

He opened his eyes, and the blinding light instantly pierced his eyes.

My forehead is throbbing and itchy, as if I've applied something to it...

Yang An gasped in shock.

The air was filled with the smell of hospital disinfectant.

I vaguely heard a few people talking.

Once the pupils focused normally and the field of vision returned, the three people stood in front of the bed.

Two people in white coats.

The closest one was a woman dressed in black.

The woman seemed to sense something, turned around, and met Yang An's bewildered gaze.

She paused for a moment, then her beautiful eyes flashed with obvious joy.

Then, the face slowly magnified in the young man's eyes until he could clearly see the beauty mark at the perfect corner of the eye.

The unique charm of a married woman, and... a touch of allure.

They looked at each other, each seemingly seeing panic in the other's eyes.

"Oh dear, you're finally awake! I was so worried about you."

The woman's red lips trembled as she carefully touched Yang An's face, but fearing she might hurt him, she could only touch him lightly.

The warm touch and the familiar face made Yang An, who had just woken up, wonder if it was real.

But sight can deceive, while touch cannot.

"Silly girl, what are you doing out here? I said I'd come home, and I mean it."

Jiang Nianxi's eyes gradually welled up with tears.

"Jiang Nianxi...you..."

Looking around at the ward environment, Yang An gritted his teeth, braced himself against the edge of the bed, and barely managed to sit up.

He frowned, but lowered his voice.

"What time is it now?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Nianxi wiped her eyes without thinking.

"Two o'clock in the morning."

"It's so late... Why are you here now...?"

Yang An suddenly got stuck.

He wondered if asking directly like that would make the stupid woman laugh at him.

It's not just about saying you don't care.

Why are you in such a hurry to search everywhere again?

But he was just...

only……

"I know what you mean."

The nurse and doctor exchanged a glance and silently left the ward.

Jiang Nianxi turned and sat down on the edge of the hospital bed, her expression somber.

"It's raining heavily. I was planning to buy you a roast duck when I came back..."

"Who knew that when I was putting my phone away after paying, I accidentally dropped it and it fell into the sewer down below."

"I tried many methods, but I couldn't get it out. It was filled with water, and it's also my fault... I had a locator in my collar, didn't I?"

Positioner?

Yang An grimaced, wanting to rub his forehead, but was stopped by the other party.

He recalled that he checked both apps several times, and even more on the way, but nothing happened.

If the locator is still inside Jiang Nianxi's collar, then its quality is simply too poor.

He told Jiang Nianxi the truth. Jiang Nianxi frowned slightly, tilted her head, and looked very puzzled.

"That shouldn't be the case."

She said softly.

"Look, right there... eh?"

When I opened the collar, the locator was still firmly fixed inside, without the slightest shift in position.

only……

It seems the red light has stopped flashing.

out of battery?

No way, this kind of thing...

Jiang Nianxi parted her red lips and removed the circular locator.

She clearly remembered that the battery was fully charged.

How could there be no power...?

"...Jiang Nianxi, you really know how to buy inferior products..." Yang An looked at it from the hospital bed, his lips twitching, and for a moment he was speechless.

What's going on?

He thought the stupid woman had an accident on the way, or something else.

Startled, he put on his hat and rushed out.

And that's it?

"Hehe...Are you...worried about me?"

However, Jiang Nianxi simply lowered her collar and revealed a meaningful smile.

To be honest, she never expected that the other person would brave the torrential rain to come out and find her.

Of course, Yang An would never admit it.

He was just afraid that if something happened to this stupid woman, he would be entangled in a lot of trouble.

Worry?

How could that be?

He turned his head away, his gaze darting away: "Can you please not have such a vivid imagination?"

"Then why did you come out to find me? It's because you're worried about me. Look, we've shared a bed for so long, and you still... can't bear to part with me, right?"

"nerve……"

"Hey, don't get out of bed! You just woke up, your fever hasn't gone down yet... Don't pull back the covers!"
