Chapter 95

  "The problem is that as soon as I close my eyes, I can see and hear all sorts of strange people and things. I really want to rest well, but the problem is that I simply can't rest." Bai Min looked at her friend with a mixture of helplessness and anxiety, the white coat and the faint smell of disinfectant giving her a sense of reassurance. If only it were just as her friend had said, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. Everything had been fine before, so why did sleeping for what felt like an eternity make everything change?

  A gentle smile from her friend, in her mind, might be that Bai Min had been working too hard lately and was having hallucinations. As long as she got some good rest, everything would be fine. "Unless I prescribe you some calming medicine, but if it's nothing serious, it's best not to take any. All medicines have a bit of poison in them."

  Back home, Bai Min took the medicine and sat alone on the sofa in a daze. Zhi'er had already finished her homework and gone to sleep. She still had school early tomorrow morning.

  Sister-in-law came over, took a look at her and asked: "What's wrong, Xiaomin? Are you not feeling well? Your face doesn't look too good. Is there something on your mind?"

  Bai Min shook his head, "Nothing's wrong, I'm just a bit...tired. I'll be fine after a rest."

  The elder sister-in-law smiled, possibly because she had just started dating and was feeling a bit complicated. However, as for that person named Duan Zhishan, he really wasn't bad, according to Weiwei, he's the new leader of their company, an overseas returnee, 35 years old but still not married, a diamond-level bachelor, this is of course in Weiwei's words. Hehe, thinking about it, she smiled, her little sister-in-law was indeed a pretty good girl, if she were to find someone, she should find the best among them to be worthy of her.

  Bai Min had finished washing and was lying in bed, resting. For a long time, she didn't dare to close her eyes. Her mood was also very contradictory. She wanted to see that infatuated Sima Rui again, but at the same time, she was afraid of seeing him. What kind of relationship did this person have with herself? Why would she keep running into him in her dreams every night?

  It was that night, after falling asleep, - it seemed like nothing had happened, only to wake up in the morning and feel like my whole body was aching to death, as if I had been running around for a long time without rest.

  This time, it was Bai Min who actively walked into the dream. She wanted to go back to that place and see what connection she had with it. In the dream, however, she couldn't control herself and couldn't enter. Maybe it was the effect of the medicine or maybe it was intentional, but she couldn't see that place again. Just like this, she slept until dawn. Sima Rui didn't appear again, and she suddenly felt disappointed.

  "Have you met any other weird people?" asked Dong Weiwei with a smile.

  Bai Min shook his head, but his expression was not pleasant.

  "Hehe, you should thank me," said Dong Weiwei with a smile. "This time when I went out, I specifically went up the mountain to ask for an amulet for you, and since you might not believe it, yesterday I secretly put it in your pocket. The master said that as long as you are within ten meters of the amulet, nothing unclean will approach you. It seems it really works! I put it in your outerwear pocket, and your clothes should be hanging on the coat rack in your bedroom, so... isn't the effect pretty good? How do you plan to thank me?"

  Bai Min was taken aback for a moment, and upon touching her pocket, she indeed found something - a circular token of ordinary quality and workmanship. On its surface were written all sorts of messy characters and symbols that she couldn't understand. Was this thing really going to prevent her from entering that strange place again? It looked rather ordinary.

  "Look, isn't it generally like that?" Dong Weiwei smiled, "When I first started, I also thought the master was fooling me, but he said, 'Your friend must have seen some unclean things or things from a long time ago during this period. If you believe it, put this on your body and nothing strange will happen again.' I thought about it, anyway, it's worth trying, who knows if it works? So I bought it and secretly put it on you. Don't say anything, but yesterday you didn't space out all day, and since we didn't see any strange people or things last night either, it means the master does have some ability."

  Bai Min forced a smile, but he should be happy. Why couldn't he feel happy in his heart? Was it because he didn't want to really see those strange people and things again?

  "What are those two talking about? They seem to be having a great time." said Duan Zhishan with a smile.

  "Where did you pop out from?" White Mian was startled, she had just been daydreaming and suddenly heard his voice, giving her a fright.

  "I've been around here all along." Duan Zhishan looked very innocent, "You just didn't notice, seeing you two chatting away, I was curious, so I came over to listen."

  Dong Weiwei said with a smile: "Duan Zhishan, you should treat us. I went out the day before yesterday and got a protective charm for Bai Min, finally getting her out of that so-called 'crossing'."

  "Time travel?" Duan Zhishan was perplexed.

  "It's just that she always thinks she can see people and things from the past, these days, online is popular to cross over, that is to say, move from this era to another era, she probably read too much, then produced hallucinations," Dong Weiwei smiled at Bai Min, "If really crossed over, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again, haven't you seen those who crossed over? Not car accidents or suddenly disappeared, you're still sitting in front of me now, with breath, voice, and feeling, later on, that kind of thing will be less, look too much, really believe the prince and princess fairy tale, be careful not to get married in the future."

  "It doesn't matter, I'll marry her, and I'm also a prince, she's originally a princess." Duan Zhishan said with a smile.

  Dong Weiwei pretended to vomit: "How can there be such a thick-skinned person in this world!"

  Bai Min watched as Duan Zhishan and Dong Weiwei bickered, smiling on the surface but suddenly feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. What about Sima Rui now? Would she never see him again? Had he found his beloved 'Feng Er'? Was it really just an illusion on her part? But she hadn't seen any signs of madness from crossing over...

  I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, today during the day, Bai Min didn't space out either, working well as usual, and her spirit wasn't bad. However, in her heart, she always felt like something was missing.

  Duan Zhishan invited her and Dong Weiwei to go to KTV, which was Dong Weiwei's favorite, but Bai Min wasn't very fond of it, just for the sake of face. If she didn't go, Duan Zhishan probably wouldn't force her, but Dong Weiwei was afraid that they wouldn't be able to sing well together.

  Saw "Butterfly" by Faye Wong on the song list and suddenly clicked on it.

  "Bai Min, what's going on? Want to sing a song? You never sing, how come you chose such a high-difficulty song?" Dong Weiwei joked with a smile.

  Bai Min smiled and said, "I won't sing, just listen."
