Reborn as His Intellectually Disabled Wife

Chapter 768 - 769: Infinitely Close to Tang Wu

No, don’t... don’t come any closer!

Bai Yuejie wanted to roar loudly, wanted to loudly reject her approach, but she couldn’t make a sound.

All she could do was watch, wide-eyed, as the blood-soaked Shi Mei stepped closer and closer toward her, wearing that idiotic smile, cradling a bloody heart, "Sister Bai, Sister Bai..."

With no retreat, Bai Yuejie suddenly saw the originally sweet and cute Shi Mei reach out a hand.

That hand, which should have been smooth and pretty, now had sharp nails. Laughing, she plunged them into Bai Yuejie’s chest and with a fierce yank, tore out Bai Yuejie’s heart.

Then, Bai Yuejie clearly heard a seductive voice, filled with irresistible charm, beguiling and bewitching. She said, "Now, it’s time to give back the heart, Shui Ji."

"Ah..." Bai Yuejie woke with a start from the nightmare.

Her heart ached with a throbbing pain, and Bai Yuejie gasped for air, surrounded by nurses and doctors all talking, but she heard nothing. All that filled her ears were the buzzing noises and the sound of her own heavy breathing.

She did not know how much time had passed before she closed her eyes once more, falling asleep.

From the moment she opened her eyes until she fell back to sleep, she had almost no consciousness of self.

As time ticked by, Bai Yuejie woke up again, as weak as ever, without a hint of strength in her body.

Yet she knew, she had slept for a long time.

After being fed some liquid food, Bai Yuejie was helped to sit up. A while after the nurse took some notes, she said, "Someone wants to see you, they’ve come to visit several times, but you’ve always been asleep. You seem to be in a decent state now; do you want to meet them?"

Bai Yuejie indeed felt her condition was not too bad at the moment and subconsciously asked, "Who is it?"

"Shi Lingyan, Mr. Shi."

Bai Yuejie felt she should be surprised, but the current her couldn’t even stir up that emotional response.

She looked at the head nurse almost numbly, then said, "Is he still here?"

"Yes, he just arrived not long ago."

"Hmm, let him come in," Bai Yuejie said.

She thought, she must have no feelings left for Shi Lingyan by now.

However, she underestimated herself, as well as the place Shi Lingyan held in her heart.

The moment she saw Shi Lingyan walk in, Bai Yuejie felt her heartbeat quicken.

However, she quickly noticed another person behind Shi Lingyan.

A woman.

Perhaps it was the reappearance of summer; the woman wore black shorts, a black short-sleeve T-shirt, her hair casually draped over her shoulders, appearing extremely delicate and petite, with a classic oval face, delicate features, and somewhat deeper eye sockets than usual, as if she were mixed-race.

Bai Yuejie noticed a conspicuous scar on her neck, newly healed, stark against her fair and clean skin.

While Bai Yuejie watched her, she was evidently looking back.

Bai Yuejie recognized her at a glance as Shi Mei, yet her whole aura of cold detachment was uncannily close to that of a person buried deep in her memory, whom she dared not recall.

Noticing Bai Yuejie’s startled gaze, Shi Mei smiled slightly and said, "Shui Ji, it’s been such a long time."

Bai Yuejie’s pupils contracted slightly, and her heart twinged.

The name "Shui Ji," coupled with that casual tone, made Shi Mei seem even more similar to Tang Wu.
