She held her cell phone tightly and lay down. She turned off the bedside lamp. The room went dark.

  With her eyes closed, she tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. She felt empty and uncomfortable.

  Bright Garden.

  In the bedroom, the man lying in bed, his chest rose up and down slightly. His eyes closed, long eyelashes quivered a few times. It seemed like he was going to wake up, but he did not open his eyes.

  Shi Yan, who was waiting outside the door, waited for more than an hour. He looked at the tightly shut bedroom door and thought, “Fourth Master is unconscious. Qin Shu definitely won’t be able to talk for long. It should be over by now, right?”


  He reached out to grab the doorknob. After hesitating for a few seconds, he pushed the door open and walked in. His footsteps were light. He came to the front of the bed and looked at the bed. The fourth Master was still unconscious, and his face was very pale.

  It was useless for him to be anxious. Not to mention him, even Young Master Gu couldn’t do anything.

  He looked at the phone next to the pillow. It was right next to the Fourth master’s ear. The phone was completely black, in contrast to the light-coloured pillowcase.

  The screen of the phone was already black. Shi Yan picked up the phone and pressed it. The screen lit up, showing that the call had been hung up. The time of the call was 1 hour 35 minutes. In other words, the call had been hung up just before he came in.

  The fourth Master was unconscious. He could neither hear nor answer.

  For the past hour, Qin Shu had been talking to herself. What she said was not getting answered.

  Although Shi Yan had never experienced it before, he could guess that it must be hard for her to not get a response when she spoke.

  Gu Yan also walked in at this time. He came to Shi Yan’s side and glanced at the phone in his hand. “It’s been so long. The call must have been hung up.”


  Shi Yan nodded. “She just hung up. Fourth master is unconscious. She spoke alone for an hour.”


  “Spoke for an hour? Can a person talk for that long?” Gu Yan’s voice was a little surprised.

  “Yeah, the phone records show that it was more than an hour.” Shi Yan handed the phone records to Gu Yan, feeling a little helpless.

  Gu Yan saw the duration of the call, and he felt helpless too. He looked at the person on the bed and found that his long eyelashes were trembling slightly as if he was about to wake up.

  He hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed and pulled Fu Tingyu’s wrist to check his pulse.

  Shi Yan put the phone back on the bedside table and looked at the Fourth Master on the bed. He also noticed that he was about to wake up. He looked at Gu Yan excitedly and waited for his result quietly.

  Gu Yan retracted his finger and put Fu Tingyu’s hand into the quilt.

  Shi Yan quickly asked when he saw this, “Young Master Gu, How is Fourth Master?”


  While Shi Yan was asking, Fu Tingyu, who was lying on the bed, had his eyebrows twitch a few times. It was much more obvious than before.

  After a while, his long and narrow eyes opened slowly. Because he had been used to the darkness for a long time, he was not used to seeing too much light all of a sudden. Then, he closed his eyes again and opened them again after getting used to them.

  After being unconscious for so long, his eyes were blurred for a moment.

  Gu Yan’s gaze turned to Fu Tingyu. His worried heart was relieved instantly. He couldn’t control himself from smiling, “He’s awake.”


  When Shi Yan heard that, he hurriedly turned his head to look at the person on the bed. When he saw the Fourth master open his eyes, he was a little excited. “The fourth master, you’re finally awake. Are you hungry? There’s porridge in the kitchen. The chef just made it.”


  Fu Tingyu turned his head to look at the two people by the bed and frowned slightly. He heard Babe talking to him, but he did not see anyone.

  He closed his eyes again. His head was a little dizzy, and he thought he was having an auditory hallucination.

  Fu Tingyu did not say anything, but Gu Yan answered for him, “Go and get a bowl. You must be hungry after such a long time.”


  ” I’ll go now.”


  Shi Yan nodded excitedly and turned to leave the bedroom.

  After Shi Yan left, only Gu Yan and Fu Tingyu were left in the bedroom.

  Fu Tingyu opened his eyes again and looked at Gu Yan. “How long have I been asleep?”


  He was just woken up and his voice was hoarse and light.

  “It’s past 11 o’clock at night. How long did you think you were unconscious for?”


  Although he saw that Fu Tingyu had woken up, Gu Yan was still very worried.

  Fu Tingyu heard this and frowned even more. He propped his hands on the bed and was ready to get up. Gu Yan supported him hurriedly and even took two soft pillows behind him to make him more comfortable.

  “Sit down for a while. I’ll get you a cup of hot water.”


  Gu Yan stood up straight and went to get some water. After a while, he walked over with a cup of warm water and handed it to Fu Tingyu. “Drink some water first.”


  Fu Tingyu happened to feel a little thirsty. He took the cup of water and brought it to his lips. He slowly drank a few mouthfuls and the warm water entered his throat. It relieved his thirst and his dry throat which had been making him uncomfortable.

  After he finished drinking the water, he handed the glass to Gu Yan.

  Gu Yan took it and looked at Fu Tingyu’s pale face. No matter how worried he was, he couldn’t do anything now. “This time, it’s not just your nose that is bleeding. It’s serious enough to make you vomit blood.”


  Even if Gu Yan didn’t say it, Fu Tingyu could feel it from his bleeding. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fallen asleep.

  The poison spread faster than he had imagined. His time was shortened again.

  Shi Yan came over with a bowl of medicinal porridge, steam came out of the mouth of the bowl. “Fourth master, have some porridge first.”


  Fu Tingyu glanced at the porridge in Shi Yan’s hand indifferently. He had no appetite, but his stomach was empty. He took it and ate it casually.

  Gu Yan said, “Take a rest after eating. If there are any problems, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.”


  Fu Tingyu didn’t say anything. He took some time to finish the porridge in the bowl and handed the empty bowl to Shi Yan.

  Shi Yan took the bowl and walked out.

  He was awake, so he didn’t need a guard at night. Before Gu Yan left, he reminded him, “Rest well. I’ll measure your pulse again tomorrow.”


  Gu Yan glanced at Fu Tingyu before he left. He didn’t mention Qin Shu’s call when he saw that he didn’t seem to be acting strangely.

  Fu Tingyu nodded. After Gu Yan left and closed the bedroom door, the bedroom instantly became quiet and empty.

  He turned his head and looked at the phone on the bedside table. He reached out and opened it. After a few glances, he did not see anything that he wanted to see. He put the phone back on the bedside table, then opened the second drawer and took out the cigarette case with the lighter.

  His slender fingers were whiter than usual. He took a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it in his mouth. The dark brown cigarettes filter were visible between his lips that had lost their colour.

  After igniting it with the lighter, he took a deep breath and inhaled it all into his lungs, as if to relieve an impulse that had nowhere to vent, and to suppress his inner thoughts.

  He always wanted to bring Babe back from the capital, trapped her by his side, so that she can only see him, and he would be the only one in her heart.

  Not long after Qin Shu left, Mu Ke walked around outside. She was still thinking of her post on apology when she was on her way back to the dormitory. Anyway as her account was fake, no one knew who was she even she apologized.

  She took out her phone and logged into the school forum again. She found She opened the content and saw her three fake accounts together with the background information. Her face turned pale immediately.

  What, what’s going on?
