In a small and quiet compartment, only the sound of two people's breathing intertwined together, as if tightly bound yet also as if it could dissipate at any moment.
Dai Shiyuan took a deep breath and lifted her head, revealing a faint smile and a determined gaze that she had been avoiding.
Shan Yaxin was taken aback, and a hint of fear flashed through her mind.
"Sister Yaxin, there's something I want to tell you," Dai Shiyuan looked at those cold eyes and tilted her head, smiling lightly.
At this moment when she decided to speak up, her mood was unprecedentedly relaxed. She no longer had to bear the immense pressure in her heart and wander between love and escape.
During this period, she had been avoiding Shan Yaxin's affection.
Seeing this proud person show a hurt expression, she also felt uneasy.
"What is it?" Shan Yaxin asked in a cold voice, involuntarily lowering her voice.
When Dai Shiyuan was avoiding her in every way, she could approach her aggressively and use various means to keep this person by her side.
But now, seeing the determination and relief in Dai Shiyuan's eyes, she suddenly felt panicked, as if the thing she had been worried about was about to happen.
"Sister Yaxin, I'm Dai Shiyuan, but I'm not the Dai Shiyuan you know," Dai Shiyuan said calmly, her face serious.
Before Shan Yaxin could ask any questions, she continued, "Maybe you won't believe it, but you and I are from two different worlds. The world you're in is just a book to me..."
"That's absurd," Shan Yaxin interrupted sharply, the panic in her heart gradually becoming uncontrollable. "Don't say anything more. Don't try to fool me with such a ridiculous excuse."
"Sister Yaxin, you can start over in life, why don't you believe me?" Dai Shiyuan calmly retorted, reaching out to stroke Shan Yaxin's almost out-of-control face and gently embracing her.
Shan Yaxin's eyes darkened, and she lifted her head to kiss Dai Shiyuan's small chin.
She didn't want to hear the terrible answer from those red lips. As long as it wasn't spoken, there wouldn't be any problems.
The kiss was fierce and intense, as if trying to hide some kind of fear.
Dai Shiyuan's heart ached, and she closed her eyes and silently endured it.
"Don't ever mention this again. I don't want to hear these absurd remarks. No one will believe you no matter who you tell." Shan Yaxin grabbed Dai Shiyuan's shoulders with both hands, her expression cold and sharp.
Dai Shiyuan saw fear and avoidance in Shan Yaxin fierce eyes. She gave a bitter smile and lowered her gaze. "Sister Yaxin, there are some things we can't decide...I don't know when I will return to my original world, I just hope..."
"Don't say anything more!" Shan Yaxin shouted almost uncontrollably and got out of the car in anger.
The sound of the car door slamming in the empty parking lot was very clear.
Dai Shiyuan was startled and remained silent for a moment before closing her eyes in resignation.
Shan Yaxin's reaction was even stronger than she had imagined, and she didn't listen to her explanation at all.
Dai Shiyuan could tell that Shan Yaxin believed what she said, but she just couldn't accept it for the moment.
Dai Shiyuan sighed and got out of the car, only to find that Shan Yaxin's figure was nowhere to be seen. She called her but there was no answer.
After waiting in the same spot for over half an hour, Shan Yaxin still hadn't shown up.
Dai Shiyuan decided to look around nearby.
Now that the truth had been revealed, it was time to clarify their relationship.
Dai Shiyuan gathered herself and walked in the direction of where Shan Yaxin had gone.
She looked around from time to time, but there was no sign of Shan Yaxin here.
Suddenly, the sound of a car horn came from not far away. Dai Shiyuan looked at the light shining over and felt afraid, so she quickly dodged to the side.
But the car seemed to be out of control and drove straight towards her. The car was fast, and Dai Shiyuan's eyes were covered by a white light, and her body couldn't react.
At that moment, she couldn't see anything, but she seemed to hear a sharp female voice.
With a loud bang, the out-of-control vehicle crashed into the wall and stopped. A woman covered in blood lay on the ground around the car's path.
The news report that day stated that a person who had been drinking drove a car in an underground garage of a certain mall, lost control, and hit and injured a woman.
The driver died on the spot, and the woman was urgently sent to the hospital by another woman. Her life and death are currently unknown.
The injured woman's identity is unknown, but the other woman was recognized by someone.
She was Shan Yaxin, the President of the Sheng Yong Group.
....
In a white room, a seemingly gentle and quiet woman lay on a hospital bed. The name "Dai Shiyuan" was written in the name column of the medical record at the foot of the bed, with the date July 20, 2011.
Suddenly, the person on the bed moved her fingers, and a crystal clear tear rolled down the corner of her eye, quickly disappearing into her scattered black hair.
Soon after, a nursing aunt came in and skillfully massaged the woman on the bed. "Such a good little girl, lying here for a year, it's really a pity, and not many people come to see you," the nursing aunt said sympathetically.
Hearing this, the person on the bed wanted to open her eyes and speak, but her eyelids were too heavy to lift, and her mouth couldn't open.
The nursing aunt continued to talk while massaging. An hour later, only the patient was left in the room.
Dai Shiyuan opened her eyes and tried to get up, but she couldn't control her body.
Her consciousness was still there, able to perceive everything around her, but unable to make any movements.
She remembered that she was crossing the street when a car suddenly hit her and she lost consciousness.
Unexpectedly, a whole year had passed, but it still felt like it happened yesterday.
She even remembered the scene of blood flowing out, which looked very terrifying yet strangely natural.
The bright red color filled her eyes, and she could feel the warm liquid spreading beneath her.
Now, looking back, the bright red blood didn't seem scary at all.
Occasionally, hurried footsteps could be heard in the hallway, but no one opened her door.
As time passed, her life lying in bed repeated day after day, except for the nurses who came to check on her and the nursing aunt who massaged her regularly and talked about things.
Dai Shiyuan wanted to respond but was powerless.
She had no relatives or friends come to see her, not even the person who hit her with the car.
She learned from the nurse that the person was wealthy and paid for her hospitalization and nursing aunt, but she lost too much blood and although she survived, she became a vegetable.
If a miracle could happen, there would be a day when she would wake up.
Dai Shiyuan struggled desperately to prove that she was conscious, but her body remained still with no reaction.
"Little girl, do you know that there's a popular TV drama these days, and the female lead is so kind that she's always being bullied," the nursing aunt said indignantly. "If I were Shan Yaxin, I definitely wouldn't let the Dai's family get away with it."
Shan, Ya, Xin...
Dai Shiyuan felt that this name was familiar and took a while to remember that it was from a novel she had read.
She didn't expect such a cliche plot to be made into a TV drama.
"That younger sister-in-law is still good. She often defends Shan Yaxin. Their sister-in-law relationship is really good. Oh, by the way, the younger sister-in-law's name is also Dai Shiyuan. Isn't it a coincidence that it's the same as your name?" The nursing aunt said with a smile.
Dai Shiyuan wanted to give a spoiler that the younger sister-in-law is actually a villain, but she couldn't say anything.
Every day when the nurse came to massage her, she would tell her the latest plot.
"It turns out that this younger sister-in-law is also a bad person. Her mind is even more malicious than her mother's, causing the deaths of the female lead's family."
Her family didn't die...
Dai Shiyuan wanted to refute, but didn't understand why she had to.
She remembered that the plot in the book was like this, but another voice in her mind told her that Shan Yaxin's family did not die.
After a while, the nursing aunt's expression became happy. "Shan Yaxin finally woke up and became evil. She wants to retaliate against the Dai family."
She was already evil, or reborn...
Dai Shiyuan replied in her heart, and then froze. Many memories in her mind were surging up, but it was like a blocked river, unable to find an outlet.
Her heart was uncomfortable, her chest was sour, and she wanted to grab something important, but her mind was blank.
"Little girl, if you wake up in the future, you must not be as bad as that younger sister-in-law. I heard from others that her final outcome was being hit by a car. I don't know if it's true or not."
Dai Shiyuan's headache intensified, and she thought hard for a long time, but still gained nothing.
She had definitely seen the name Shan Yaxin before, not just in the book.
This person, she had a feeling of familiarity, but she couldn't remember why.
Not long after, this TV drama had its finale, with the main characters ending up together.
The two actors also won some awards.
"Shan Yaxin is really not easy. She's so powerful, but why did she forgive the male lead's family in the end? Sigh... she really likes this male lead too much."
No... she doesn't like the male lead, she likes...
Dai Shiyuan's heart was stirred, and she wanted to argue back, but her mind suddenly froze, and a ridiculous answer appeared.
She actually felt that Shan Yaxin's favorite person was her...
Dai Shiyuan had a splitting headache, and many blurry fragments appeared in her mind.
She struggled hard to grasp these images, but to no avail.
"Little girl, I recently saw an interview. The actress who played the younger sister-in-law role was quite cute. She said her favorite celebrity is the actress Shan Yaxin. They really have fate together." The nursing aunt said with a smile.
Dai Shiyuan's heart was calm as she listened quietly.
Every time she heard the name "Shan Yaxin," her heart would ache.
After a while, the popularity of this TV drama waned, and the nursing aunt started to follow other TV dramas and often talked about the plot with Dai Shiyuan.
Dai Shiyuan listened silently, and the name "Shan Yaxin" lingered in her mind.
Her days were the same every day, but seemed different.
Dai Shiyuan was already numb to time.
Three years had passed without her realizing it.
And during these three years, only the nursing aunt had been with her.
In this world, no one cared about her or missed her.
Even if she woke up, she would still be alone.
"Xiaoyuan, are you awake... I will always wait for you..." A strange voice suddenly came into her ear, seemingly mixed with tears.
Dai Shiyuan sensed her surroundings, and she was the only one in this hospital room, and there was no one else.
Who was speaking?
