The smell of disinfectant filled the nasal cavity.
Yan Shuang was lying on the hospital bed in the middle of the night, and her head began to hurt. Yan Lu stayed to take care of her tonight. Although Ruan Xue insisted on staying, the vote was four to one, so she went home unconvinced.
Seeing her father sleeping soundly on the sofa, Yan Shuang couldn't bear to wake him up. He slowly moved on the bed, trying to adjust his posture so that he could lie more comfortably.
But maybe her movement was a little too big and she accidentally touched the injured area, which made her cry out slightly in pain.
He quickly glanced at Yan Lu, but fortunately, he didn't wake up his father.
She closed her eyes and tried to catch her breath a little before moving again. But the next second, there seemed to be countless shadows moving in my mind...
Every shadow... seems to be the same person.
A... young woman in a white dress.
She was looking at herself with sadness in her eyes. The resentment that was about to overflow from her eyes seemed to be telling her all the unfair things in the world.
In just a moment, Yan Shuang came to her senses. She opened her eyes and looked at the dark ward. There was silence all around, and even her own breathing became lighter.
Maybe she suddenly remembered a certain clip she had watched on TV before, she comforted herself. After all, the pain was so painful that I couldn't sleep and couldn't move. It was just too uncomfortable.
I can only think about something randomly and divert my attention, so as not to focus on the injured place.
Maybe it was because he moved a little just now and felt that there was no problem, so Yan Shuang tried to move his body again.
But just this moment, the pain that pulled at the nerves caused countless fragments of scenes to flash through Yan Shuang's mind.
Piece by piece, frame by frame, they are all pictures that I have never seen before.
There are only two protagonists in those scenes, one is myself and the other is...
Just now...that woman in a white dress!
She remembered! Although only a little bit...
But now she clearly knew the fragments that flashed through her mind and the woman by the lake in her dream.
It's the same person!
She still feels weird! Sometimes when I wake up in the morning, I feel tired from a night of dreaming, but why do I always have so many times that I can't remember the content of my dreams clearly.
Now she finally remembered...
Just now, her intuition told her that the woman in her mind was her!
The woman who always sat by the lake and chatted with her in her dreams!
Then a new problem comes again...
who is she?
Whether it was appearing in a dream or the fragmented memories in her mind at the moment, Yan Shuang could not clearly understand who she was.
Now that she remembered a little bit, Yan Shuang tried to extend her memory and carefully chewed through those unclear dreams. Did the woman in the white dress mention her name?
She tried to prolong her memory, the neon lights flashing in the dark night and the dark green grass...
Suddenly, she seemed to remember!
When the two met for the first time in the dream, she told herself that her name...
Her name is Ning Ling!
Yes, that’s the name!
Now, although Yan Shuang knows her name, Yan Shuang cannot determine when he and her met in real life just based on the few frames that flashed in his mind!
Except for that dream...
In the dream, he seemed to be in junior high school. Could it be that she... was someone he had known since junior high school?
If that were the case, it would be difficult to handle. I might not even be able to remember what happened at that time!
Looking back carefully now, the place where they met seems to be next to the Huanhu Bridge in their hometown.
That lake was relatively close to her home, so when she and Lin Xiao were children, they always used to go there for a stroll after school.
Is it possible that Ning Ling also lives in that area?
It seems that I need to find time to go back to my hometown. I was in a hurry when I went back with my parents last time.
After I leave my job, I might as well go back and stay for a few more days, just to relax and see if I can remember anything.
Who is that woman in the dream?
After Yan Shuang's attention was abruptly diverted, the wound no longer hurt so much, and she gradually entered a deep sleep state...
The three days in the hospital were the most painful three days for Yan Shuang!
She used to think that going to work was the most painful thing, but not anymore!
In fact, she could move around a little the next day, but her dear mother was really overly nervous.
Whenever she made the slightest move on the bed, it was like triggering Ruan Xue's alarm line. No matter where she was or what she was doing, she would immediately be ejected to Yan Shuang's side.
He began to ask: "What to eat? What to drink? What do you want to do?" His hands began to support her, to prevent her from touching the wound.
In the end, Yan Shuang began to threaten Ruan Xue. If she didn't let her go home, she would go to the bathroom every two times.
Because she really couldn't bear it, within five minutes of entering, Ruan Xue started knocking on the door and chatting with her, for fear that she would fall or faint inside!
Every time like this, she would thank Liu Lin for helping her get a single ward.
She wouldn't be discharged from the hospital and people would still say, "Look, it's her, the one with the bandage on her head. She's such a big person, she only needs to go to the toilet for a few minutes, and she still has to talk to her mother!"
She protested to her father about this, but the answer she received was, "Let your mother do this, she will feel better, and you can take care of it!"
Okay, she can understand! Can bear it too!
But when she wanted to pick up her phone for the 108th time and reply to work messages, Ruan Xue snatched it away.
Yan Shuang is completely done! She is going home today, and she will hold back if she doesn’t reply!
Finally, under Lin Xiao's persuasion, Ruan Xue finally agreed to pack up and go home to recuperate on the fourth day. Yan Shuang finally breathed a sigh of relief and could finally return to her warm nest.
In fact, there was another reason why she went home in a fuss.
She really hated being in the hospital. These days, she always had an inexplicable feeling of fear lingering in her heart. It must be the atmosphere in the hospital that makes her always have messy nightmares after falling asleep.
In those dreams, she was either running wildly in the deserted forest or climbing the stone steps.
There were dense and dark woods on both sides, and at the end of the winding stairs in front of her was endless, endless darkness.
Yanshuang kept crawling and crawling, as if she would never get tired.
It was as if the pause button had been pressed. The leaves would not move and the birds would not chirp. In the silent mountain forest, I am the only one who keeps climbing up, never stopping...
In the empty scene, she seemed to be the only living thing. No matter where she ran, she seemed to be the same.
Because she is the only one left in this world...
