Demons and monsters wreak havoc: gain one new confidante every day.

The night was as still as water, and Shen You's eyes were full of sincerity.

He gazed deeply into San Niang's eyes, as if trying to imprint all his deep affection into her heart.

Third Sister's body trembled violently.

She once lost her beloved.

She never imagined that person would reappear before her in this way.

She looked at Shen You in disbelief, almost unable to resist moving closer to him to feel the warmth emanating from him.

But the next moment, she gritted her teeth, suddenly waved her hand, and threw Shen You away: "No, you are not him!"

Her chest heaved violently, her face a mixture of anger and sorrow: "That person... is already dead!"

Shen You was surprised that the female ghost, who was about to fall for him, was able to wake up in time and shake him off.

Shen You lost her balance and fell to the ground with Tian Yi'er, rolling around in a heap.

Tian Yi'er's expression shifted, as if she was recovering from her previous dazed state after being bewitched.

Shen You didn't notice this, but took a deep breath: "Third Sister! I am indeed dead, but I risked my life to return to this world in order to find you."

Shen You used both hands and feet to slowly get up from the ground. Every movement of his broken limbs brought excruciating pain. It made his forehead sweat and his face pale, but it also made his emotions seem so sincere.

Shen You simply gazed intently at Third Sister and said, "Third Sister, if I weren't myself, how could I... still remember your name?"

"name……"

Third Sister froze, hesitating once more. This was truly something she couldn't understand. She clearly didn't know this person. How did he know her name?

Shen You smiled bitterly again, "If I weren't myself, how could I...love you so deeply?"

like!

These unusually passionate and bold words made San Niang's heart tremble. She felt that Shen You's emotions were more direct and intense than ever before. If he didn't love her to the extreme, how could he express his love so openly?

Shen You sighed again, a perfectly measured hint of disappointment and sorrow in her eyes: "Third Sister, if you truly don't want to acknowledge me, I won't force you. I've overcome countless hardships just to see you once; that alone is enough for me!"

"I'm leaving..."

Shen You played hard to get, turning around to face him, then unable to resist turning back: "Third Sister, I hope everything goes well for you in the days to come..."

After taking one last deep look at Third Sister, Shen You staggered backward, each step aggravating the injuries in her limbs, causing her whole body to tremble violently.

The phrase "utterly heartbroken" perfectly describes Shen You's state at this moment.

Third Sister stared wide-eyed at the scene. Although she still didn't believe that person could come back, Shen You's sorrow and grief didn't seem fake. That grief-stricken and dejected appearance pierced her heart.

She reached out her hand, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Shen You continued forward, his broken limbs causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

"Call me back! Why haven't you won her over yet!" Shen You thought through gritted teeth.

This struggle, enduring excruciating pain, was no less arduous than the battle he had fought with Wang Long during the day. He had never known that acting in a play could be so painful.

"Brother Shen..."

A voice rang out, and Shen You was startled, turning around in astonishment.

It turned out to be Tian Yi'er, who got up from the ground with a simple and honest look on his face.

"Damn it! Don't talk nonsense!" Shen You shouted inwardly.

He didn't want his carefully crafted, affectionate image to be ruined by Tian Yi'er's single sentence.

"Brother Shen..."

Tian Yi'er looked at Shen You with slightly moist eyes, and suddenly said, "So you came here because of the one you love!"

His eyes shone with emotion: "No wonder you insisted on entering the inner courtyard even when challenging Wang Long. Even with your limbs broken, you still insisted on coming to this lotus pond. Even knowing there were ghosts and monsters here, you still took the risk..."

"turn out to be……"

Tian Yi'er glanced at Third Sister with a sigh: "You came here for this lady!"

Tian Yi'er had heard many stories of love between humans and ghosts. But he never imagined that one day it would happen to someone he knew. He had been puzzled by Shen You's reckless journey to the lotus pond, but now he finally understood.

It turns out it was all for the love of his life!

Brother Shen may seem cold, but he is indeed a person of deep feelings and true character!

"He really did it for me..."

At this moment, San Niang hesitated again.

She couldn't believe her luck; she had actually waited for the one she loved. But Shen You's behavior made her waver. If it weren't true love, why would this man be in so much pain?

At this moment, the words spoken by Tian Yi'er, with his simple and honest face, brought her inner turmoil to its peak. Tian Yi'er was clearly a child raised in the countryside, who would never lie; how could his words be false?

"So he really did come to find me regardless of everything..."

"He wasn't afraid of me, he wasn't afraid of danger, and he endured the pain just to see me..."

"He really is... the one I've been longing for!"

Third Sister's body trembled, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes. She almost completely believed in Shen You, and only one final opportunity was needed.

"Brother Shen, you are truly amazing!" Tian Yi'er exclaimed loudly.

"Stop talking!" Shen You suddenly shouted.

Turning halfway around, Shen You deliberately showed her handsome profile to Third Sister, a bitter smile playing on her lips:

"If I can't even protect the person I love most, what kind of great am I...!"

"I...I..."

Shen You spoke in agony, then suddenly swayed, as if she could no longer bear the pain and sorrow in her heart. She lost her footing and tumbled into the lotus pond beside her.

"Brother Shen!" Tian Yi'er exclaimed.

Third Sister was finally moved and called out urgently, "Liu Lang!"

Without hesitation, she turned over and threw herself into the pool.

thump!

Shen You fell into the water.

Just before he entered the water, he saw a white figure rushing towards him. He knew he had already moved Third Sister, so he simply gave up struggling and calmly let the dark pool water swallow him up.

He slowly sank to the bottom of the pool, a damp, cold, and heavy feeling spreading throughout his body.

At that very moment, a delicate and cold body threw itself into his arms, wrapped around his waist, and carried him upwards.

puff!

Shen You surfaced again and felt San Niang holding him. She then gently leaped into the water and even brought him directly to the shore.

"Yanagiro!"

Shen You heard San Niang's concerned voice in her ear, and San Niang carefully placed her on the ground.

It turns out that the man she loved was surnamed Liu.

Shen You looked weak and slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing San Niang's anxious face right before him, Shen You reached out and gently stroked her cheek, revealing a bitter smile:

"I am no longer Liu Lang...! I am now... just Shen You!"

"Chen You...! Shen You...!"

Third Sister stared intently at Shen You, two lines of tears finally falling down her cheeks.

She leaned down and threw herself into Shen You's arms.

"You're not Liu Lang...it turns out you've become Shen Lang..."

"Shen Lang, oh Shen Lang... why did you come looking for me again..."

"How can Third Sister ever repay such kindness...!"
