Luo Xi was worried about Jian Jia, so he let him call Li Zekai.

Seeing Jian Jia’s name on the screen, the little boy ran up the hospital stairs.

“Brother Jiejie, where are you? When will you be back?” asked Jian Jia, with tears in his eyes.

Li Zekai also cried. His voice was hoarse. “I am at the hospital with daddy,” he said. He then remembered that Li Yanchen had made him promise to keep this a secret, so he tried to change the topic. “I don’t think I will be back there for now, but I will definitely come there for the next episode.”

“But daddy said we won’t be coming here for the next episode. Brother Jiejie, when will we meet again?” Jian Jia felt even sadder now.

“We will meet soon. You have my number, right?” asked Li Zekai. “You can call me. You can also come to meet me in Yun City. Jian Jia, I have to go now. I can’t talk too much here in the hospital.”

After hanging up the phone, Jian Jia wrapped his arms around Luo Xi. “Daddy, can we go meet Jiejie after the show?”

Luo Xi hesitated. “Of course,” he said. “You will have to call Jiejie and ask him first.”

Jian Jia finally smiled. “Alright! I still have a lot of things to play with Jiejie.”

At Feifei’s house, when he learned that Li Zekai was gone, the child sat quietly in the courtyard. Tao Jingyuan tried to comfort him. She told him that Li Zekai would be back for the next episode. The little boy picked up the clay and kneaded it.

Feifei was feeling very sad. The friendship between children was much deeper and purer than between adults.

Li Yanchen was still unconscious in the hospital. The doctor said that he must be very exhausted, and the stress had caused his collapse. He also said that there was a possibility that the twins might have been telepathic.

His breathing was steady. His brows furrowed from time to time. He looked like he was having a very stressful dream. Lin Wan did not wake him up and let him sleep.

She thought that Li Yanshi’s death had been a big blow to Li Yanchen. She felt that Li Yanchen had years of stress and pressure on him that had finally found a release. Maybe he needed to sleep to recuperate.

Li Zexin was sent back to school the next day. Lin Wan promised him that she would send a message to his teacher to inform him the moment Li Yanchen woke up.

Li Yanshi’s body was placed in the mortuary.

There were only three days left until the end of the third episode of the show. Lin Wan gave the Festival Group a call to tell them that they would not be attending this episode as Li Yanchen was a little ill and was recuperating in the hospital. The Festival Group was very understanding.

Li Zexuan and Li Zekai also returned to their schools. Lin Wan was the only one left in the hospital. She stayed by Li Yanchen’s side and watched over him closely. Auntie Huang arrived two times a day to deliver meals to the hospital.

In a city, Li Yanchen startled awake. He had a thermos in his hand. He was in an unfamiliar apartment.

“Everyone, pay attention to the steps, ” said a woman in the live broadcast. She was making desserts.

“Wanwan,” muttered Li Yanchen. He looked at the familiar woman on the screen.

“It’s already midnight. Everyone, get some rest,” said Lin Wan. “Today’s livestream will end here. See you at six tomorrow.” The livestream ended.

‘Midnight?’ thought Li Yanchen. He was confused. Lin Wan always streamed in the afternoon because she had the Night Talk program at eight at night. ‘When did she change it to evening?’

The man unscrewed the thermos and took a sip of the hot goji berry tea. He pulled open the curtains. The neon lights flashed outside. The huge clock on the opposite building showed that it was midnight.

‘It’s late. Why isn’t Lin Wan sleeping yet?’ thought Li Yanchen.

“Wanwan, did you change the time for your livestream?” he muttered.

There was a living room on the first floor of the apartment, but there was no one there. The apartment looked so unfamiliar. When had he bought an apartment? Li Yanchen was bewildered.

He looked around the apartment but did not find Lin Wan anywhere. He sat on the sofa on the first floor. “What’s going on?”

He dialed Lin Wan’s number. After a few rings, she picked up.

“Wanwan, where are you?” he asked.

Lin Wan had just ended her stream when she saw an unfamiliar number on her phone. She picked up the call and put it on speaker as she tidied up her desk.

yuu cue: bile asrxeu.

“I’m Yanchen! It’s already so late. Where are you livestreaming from?” Li Yanchen sighed in relief when she picked up his call.

“Li Yanchen?” Lin Wan felt a chill down her spine. ‘How could he be here? He was in the novel. Did she return to her world without knowing?

However, the place where she was staying, as well as everything around her, had not changed. If she hadn’t returned to the other world, who was this person claiming to be Li Yanchen?

“Yanchen who?” asked Lin Wan.

“Wanwan, don’t mess around. Did you secretly rent a house to livestream again?” Li Yanchen chuckled. “You are getting more and more mischievous these days. Tell me where you are, or hubby is going to call the police.”

His tone was humorous. He even called himself her “hubby”. Lin Wan looked at the number. It was indeed Li Yanchen’s number.

‘How is this possible?’ thought Lin Wan. Besides, their marriage had been faked in that world.

“Wanwan,” said a deep male voice. “It’s time to end the livestream. I brought some skewers for you. Eat them while they are hot.”

Lin Wan saw He Yuqian walk in with a takeaway box. She smiled. “Thank you.”

“Who’s on the phone?” he asked.

“An old friend,” said Lin Wan.

It was already so late. Li Yanchen didn’t know where she was, and there was another man near her. Li Yanchen panicked. ‘Wanwan, who are you with? Why aren’t you home yet?”

“Don’t tell me it’s another man on the phone,” he said jokingly.

“It’s Li Yanchen,” said Lin Wan. “The one I told you about.”

“Wanwan, are you overthinking things again? There is no such person in this world.” He Yuqian touched her forehead gently.

“What do you mean there’s no such person?” said Li Yanchen anxiously from the other end. “Wanwan, where are you? I will come and find you.” He was now afraid.

“It’s too late right now,” said Lin Wan. “It’s not convenient to meet. I will send you a location. Let’s meet there tomorrow at noon.” Lin Wan hung up the phone.

He Yuqian arranged the skewers in a row and poured Lin Wan a glass of warm milk. “Wanwan, Li Yanchen doesn’t exist.”

Lin Wan pushed her phone in front of He Yuqian. “Look,” she said. “It’s his number. You can see he called me for two minutes and forty seconds. He does exist, Yuqian. Even though I didn’t save his number on my phone, I know this number well. I remember it.”

Lin Wan said the number aloud without looking at the phone. It was Li Yanchen’s number.

“Wanwan, Dr. Feng said that you’ve been recovering well,” said He Yuqian. “You sleep too late at night. It’s easy to overthink things when it’s late, and you are tired.”

He Yuqian had met Lin Wan three months ago. At that time, Lin Wan was sitting at the bus stop in the rain. Several buses passed by, but she didn’t board any of them.

He Yuqian was returning from the university and had to take the bus home. He thought that she was acting very strange, so he asked her if she needed any help.

Lin Wan noticed that the place was unfamiliar, but she could remember her address. It was just that she didn’t know which bus to take to reach her destination.

He Yuqian had noticed that the girl lived in the same neighborhood as him, so he had helped her get to her place..
