Chapter 23
Song Ci gathered her thoughts and finally remembered Young Master Di. His full name was Di Zhongyang and “Song Ci” had a crush on him.
However, she was not interested in Di Zhongyang and immediately rejected the invitation.
“No, I’m busy.”
Tao Mi smiled mockingly.
“What could be more important than Young Master Di?”
Song Ci thought to herself, ‘That’s too much.’
Then, she promptly hung up.
Tao Mi could not believe what was happening. Did Song Ci actually ignore something that involved Di Zhongyang? She quickly called her again.
“Are you crazy? It’s Young Master Di. Di Zhongyang! He’s coming over right now. Don’t you want to see him?”
“No,” replied Song Ci calmly. “I’m not interested in him anymore.”
Tao Mi said in a mocking tone, “That’s enough. Every time he gets close to someone, you’ll act like you’re not interested anymore. How many times has this happened?”
“I’m serious this time. You don’t have to call me anymore,” said Song Ci with a smile.
Tao Mi did not believe her.
“I’m telling you, Di Zhongyang will be here tonight. You have to seize the opportunity.”
Song Ci hung up the phone. Her future was to be the mother of that perverted villain, Lu Suo. No one could change her decision.
Song Yujin did not have a lot of luggage. He only brought along a small suitcase and backpack.
Song Ci’s luggage was more or less the same. Since she was not originally from this world, it was only natural that she did not have any sentimental feelings toward most of the original Song Ci’s belongings. She only packed the necessities.
As she was packing, she heard thunder coming from outside. Suddenly, heavy rain began to pour. Song Ci turned her head and looked out the window.
‘Would the rain stop by tomorrow morning?’
Meanwhile, Lu Gan had returned to his bedroom after checking Lu Suo’s homework. He also heard the thunder. It was so loud that it gave him a headache. It even caused him to become anxious and depressed.
Lu Gan knew that it was time for him to sleep. He had been awake for almost forty hours. His body was getting weary.
However, he just could not fall asleep.
Lu Gan pushed his wheelchair to the balcony by his bedroom. He looked at the rain outside and slowly lit a cigarette.
This problem occurred ever since he was discharged from the hospital. Every time he closed his eyes, he would picture the car accident. Lu Gan’s brother protected his wife fiercely. He hugged her tightly and pressed her under his chest, hoping that it would keep her safe. Unfortunately, she never opened her eyes again.
A steel pipe went straight through their hearts and they died on the spot. At the same time, Lu Gan was protecting Lu Suo in his arms. He had to watch his brother and sister-in-law die in front of him.
Lu Gan woke up from this nightmare repeatedly. His clothes would be covered in sweat.
Hence, he began to reject sleep. He did not want to return to the scene of the car accident and fall further into depression. This worked. He never dreamt about that incident again because he could not sleep.
Ironically, it worked too well. Unless Lu Gan took sleeping pills, he could no longer fall asleep.
Of course, Lu Gan knew that he could not keep relying on the pills or he would become dependent on them. Thus, he would only take them when the situation was dire.
Nevertheless, every time he took the pills, he would have the same nightmare again and again. Whenever he opened his eyes the next day, he would have a headache and be in a state of trance.
Lu Gan knew that he could not keep this up. Soon, his body would not be able to endure it.
Therefore, he actively sought treatment. Sadly, it was all useless. Be it mental or physical treatments, his illness could not be cured.
Just as he was about to give up, Song Ci appeared.
Somehow, she was able to make him fall asleep peacefully. He did not have any nightmares and would wake up feeling refreshed.
Due to this, he allowed Song Ci to stay by his side.
Song Ci really appeared at the right time.
She was basically a gift from God.
The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to see her.
So, he took out his phone and sent a message to Song Ci.
