After a brief moment of distraction, Lin Yuan quickly regained his senses.

He realized he had been so engrossed in watching that he had lost his composure.

Facing the old friend he had longed for and regretted for his entire life, he almost lost his composure.

Lin Yuan quickly suppressed all the surging emotions in his heart and concealed the complex expression in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, straightened his posture, and the turmoil on his face disappeared, replaced by the calm and composed demeanor of a professional TCM doctor.

This is not the time for sentimentality. He is just a doctor on duty, and Gu Jia is just a patient seeking treatment.

Forcibly suppressing the pounding in his chest, Lin Yuan spoke calmly, revealing no sign of anything amiss.

"It's nothing, you just look a bit pale and seem a little weak."

"Don't be nervous. Tell me about your specific symptoms. Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

When Gu Jia saw that the doctor had returned to normal, the complicated gaze that had made her inexplicably uneasy disappeared, and the strange feeling in her heart also dissipated considerably.

She nodded gently and slowly began to describe her symptoms.

Her voice was soft, and also hoarse with the weariness of long-term insomnia.

"I don't feel any pain or discomfort anywhere on my body."

"I've been having a lot of sleep problems for about two weeks now."

"Every night when I lie in bed, no matter how tired I am, I have a lot of trouble falling asleep."

"After finally falling asleep, I will definitely have the same dream."

Lin Yuan's fingertips paused slightly, but his expression remained unchanged as he quietly looked at her and listened patiently.

Gu Jia lowered her eyes and spoke in a flat tone, as if she were talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with her, but there was an unspeakable weariness hidden between the lines.

"I have the same dream every day, the scenes are different, but there is always the same person in my dream."

"I couldn't see his face clearly; it was blurry and indistinct."

"But I can clearly feel that I know him and that we are very close."

"The scenes in my dream were chaotic. Sometimes I was walking on the street, and sometimes I was sitting together chatting."

"Several times, I had very sad dreams, and my heart felt heavy and I felt extremely uncomfortable."

"I am always awakened by this oppressive and bittersweet feeling."

She sighed softly and raised her hand to rub her throbbing temples.

"Whenever I have this dream, I always wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat."

"My heart was beating really fast after I woke up, and no matter how I lay down, I couldn't fall back asleep."

"In just over ten days, my mental state deteriorated. I felt dizzy and weak during the day, had a racing heart, and couldn't concentrate at all."

"I've had a full range of tests done by the Western medicine doctors, and all my health indicators are normal. They can't find any cause of the illness, and the sedatives they prescribed aren't working."

At this point, Gu Jia looked up at Lin Yuan, her eyes filled with a hint of helplessness and confusion.

"Doctor, what's wrong with me?"

"I'm not having any wild thoughts, and my life is very regular, so why am I having the same strange dream every day?"

The consultation room was quiet.

Gu Jia calmly recounted her strange illness.

There were no exaggerated descriptions, no deliberate complaints, only the exhaustion of being tormented by nightmares day after day.

Lin Yuan, sitting opposite him, remained silent throughout, listening attentively.

No one knew that a storm was brewing in his heart.

I have the same dream every day.

In my dream, there was someone whose face I couldn't see, yet who felt incredibly familiar.

It carries a bittersweet and sorrowful emotion, haunting me every night.

Lin Yuan knew perfectly well what was going on.

The person Gu Jia dreamed of was none other than herself.

It's me from my past life!

It's the version of myself that died young and couldn't be with her for the rest of her life!

In his previous life, he died unexpectedly, and the two were separated forever.

This unfulfilled bond is too deep, too regrettable.

Even after a lifetime of reincarnation, the connection in the dark remains unbroken.

That's why Gu Jia is haunted by this regret that transcends reincarnation every night for no apparent reason.

Strange illnesses that others can't understand, problems that Western medicine can't diagnose.

It's neither a physical illness nor a mental problem.

It is a bond of destiny, a resonance of hearts.

Lin Yuan looked at the pale-faced, bewildered girl in front of him, and felt a pang of sadness and pain in his heart.

I owed her a perfect ending in my past life.

Unexpectedly, even after being reborn, she was still inexplicably tormented by nightmares.

Lin Yuan sat at the consultation table, looking at the bewildered and haggard Gu Jia in front of him, and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

A thousand thoughts churned within my heart.

He knew perfectly well the root of everything, but ironically, the hardest thing to say was the truth.

He was reborn, his soul returned in another's body.

The Lin Yuan from the previous life is long dead.

Now, he has a completely new identity and a completely new life.

Legally speaking and from a common perspective, he and his past life were completely unrelated strangers.

Even if he has complete memories of his past life, remembering all the tender moments and regrets he had with Gu Jia.

But only he himself knew these things.

There is no one who can testify.

If he acts impulsively now and rashly confesses everything to Gu Jia...

Tell her that the person she dreams of every night is me from her past life.

Tell her that we knew and loved each other in our past lives, but sadly we are separated by death.

Tell her that I am Lin Yuan, who has been reborn.

There can only be one ending.

Gu Jia would never believe it.

Instead, they would only see him as a mentally unstable lunatic who talks nonsense.

Possession into another's body or reincarnation—these are things that only exist in legends and novels.

In real life, no one could accept that.

Not only could it not resolve Gu Jia's inner conflict, it also couldn't cure her nightmares.

It will also terrify her completely, causing her to feel extreme fear and rejection of herself.

Even in the future, we will avoid each other like the plague.

With this thought in mind, Lin Yuan made a decision instantly.

The truth must never be told.

At least for now, it is absolutely not advisable to be honest.

We can only take it slowly.

As the two gradually became more familiar with each other, he slowly entered Gu Jia's life.

Once you have complete trust in each other and your relationship is close enough, find a suitable time to gradually recount the past.

Before that, he had to keep this earth-shattering secret completely hidden.

Suppressing the utter helplessness in his heart, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

He recalled the moments he shared with Gu Jia in his past life.

Back then, the two of them were young and innocent, their hearts filled with each other.

When going on dates, taking walks, or having heart-to-heart talks, the most intimate gestures are nothing more than holding hands or kissing.

There was never any further substantial intimacy.

That's why he had no idea whether Gu Jia had any birthmarks or unique features.

If their relationship had been deeper in the past, he would have known some private details that only the two of them knew.

In the future, if he wants to prove his identity or recount his past, he will have more evidence to convince her.

It shouldn't be like this now, with a belly full of memories of past lives but no evidence to prove them.

They could only suppress all their regrets and worries.

Looking at the girl in front of him, who was tormented by nightmares every day and deeply troubled by the cycle of reincarnation, he could only approach her and protect her silently as a stranger, a doctor.

Lin Yuan sighed inwardly.

That's it.

So what if there's no evidence?

He will make up for the regrets he owed in his past life with his own hands in this life.

No matter how difficult the process is, no matter how long it takes.

In this life, he will never let Gu Jia suffer again.

There will be no more regrets.

Having figured out all the key points, Lin Yuan completely suppressed his distracting thoughts, regrets, and sighs.

He raised his eyes again, his gaze gentle and steady, and looked at Gu Jia in front of him.

His tone was calm, yet carried the confidence of a professional doctor.

"I know what's going on with you."
