Chapter 266 Obsession
The next day, Yunzhi used the same trick again and found an excuse to send Yunyun away.
When Yun Yun left, she gave Yun Zhi a deep look, which almost made Yun Zhi think that her cleverness had been discovered.

Yunzhi stayed by Cheng Shuyan's side for the entire afternoon. Looking at Cheng Shuyan's closed eyes, she couldn't help but recall the scene in her previous life when Cheng Shuyan left her completely. Her heart ached uncontrollably. While Cheng Shuyan was unconscious, she recounted the events of both her previous and current lives in a long, drawn-out manner.
“Brother, do you remember that time when I was buying ice cream, I turned around and bumped into you, spilling ice cream all over you?” Yunzhi paused here, her beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with nostalgia and complexity. Her tone suddenly turned dejected, and she murmured to herself, “Of course you don’t remember, that was in a past life.”
In her previous life, Yunzhi was aware that Cheng Shuyan had feelings for her, but at that time she came with a mission and only had Ye Chengyan in mind. After realizing Cheng Shuyan's feelings for her, she took the initiative to back down and distance herself from him. Cheng Shuyan was also smart. After realizing her rejection, he gradually faded out of her life.
She always thought.
Cheng Shuyan was about to get married and have children, but who knew that he would wait for her all this time, and even give up his life for her in the end. This love is sometimes too heavy, and Yunzhi doesn't know if she can repay it in the end.
[Host, Cheng Shuyan willingly sacrificed his life for you; you don't need to feel guilty.]
The system sensed that Yunzhi's emotions were not quite right and tried to comfort her in a human-like manner.
"Even so, I can't accept his kindness without feeling guilty; that wouldn't be fair to Cheng Shuyan."
The system seemed unable to comprehend the complex emotions between Yunzhi and Cheng Shuyan, emitting a buzzing sound before falling silent the next second.
Yunzhi sat quietly by Cheng Shuyan's bedside for a long time.
Unbeknownst to her, Cheng Shuyan, in her coma, vaguely heard words like car accident, death, ice cream, and her past life, but she thought she was dreaming.
Cheng Shuyan felt as if his eyelids were filled with lead, and he couldn't open his eyes no matter what he tried. He heard Yunzhi's voice, but it sounded like it was coming from the horizon. He tried hard to hear what Yunzhi was saying, but he couldn't make out what she was saying.
Yunzhi did not notice Cheng Shuyan's unusual behavior, nor did she notice Cheng Shuyan's struggle.
Meanwhile, Old Master Cheng had been tossing and turning at home all day. Every time he closed his eyes, he dreamed that Cheng Shuyan had lost his life for Yunzhi, and that his eldest son, who had died young, was questioning him about why he hadn't taken good care of his child.
The old man is getting on in years and is already a light sleeper. After being disturbed like this, he could only sleep for two hours a night. When he woke up the next day, the purplish-blue circles under his eyes looked like those of a panda.
The butler was very worried about the old man's health. He knew that the old man needed Young Master Cheng Shuyan to treat him, so he made a suggestion after thinking for a while.
"Master, why don't you go and see Young Master Cheng Shuyan? He must understand your good intentions after suffering such a misfortune. Perhaps if you persuade him this time, he can stay away from that Miss Yun, and the conflict between you and Young Master Cheng Shuyan will be resolved."
The old man just needed someone to give him a way out, and the butler took the initiative to offer him one. The old man pretended to think deeply for a while, then nodded, "Alright, then I'll go see Cheng Shuyan. If he's still stubborn, then I'll really disown this grandson of mine."
The butler breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. If the old man continued to stay up all night or sleep restlessly, his body would probably give out in a few days, and he would have to go see a doctor.
The old man left the Cheng family home with his butler.
The old man had only been gone for less than two minutes with the butler when Cheng Chuyu and Cheng Huaiyou received one call after another from informants at the Cheng family's old residence. They were furious to learn that the old man had gone to see Cheng Shuyan.
Cheng Huaiyou went completely berserk in his own home.
He just couldn't understand what magic Cheng Shuyan possessed that made the old man forgive him again and again. What did he have that Cheng Shuyan couldn't compare to?
Cheng Huaiyou's eyes turned bloodshot with anger, startling his children and wife.
Yunzhi was unaware of all this. She glanced at the time, and as she stood up to leave, she made sure to cover Cheng Shuyan with the blanket.
The old man rushed to Cheng Shuyan's ward and saw Yunzhi affectionately covering Cheng Shuyan with a blanket. His anger flared up instantly, and his hand, which was holding a cane, trembled slightly with anger.
"How dare you come here? If it weren't for you, Shuyan would still be unconscious. If I were you, I would stay far away from Shuyan." The old man had already learned from the nurse that when the car accident happened, Cheng Shuyan used most of his body to protect Yunzhi, which made his own condition more serious, so Cheng Shuyan still hadn't woken up.
The old man was furious.
Cheng Shuyan, like his father, is a rare romantic in the Cheng family.
Yunzhi had just tucked Cheng Shuyan in when she was met with a barrage of criticism. She turned around, bewildered, and upon seeing Grandpa Cheng, her expression instantly returned to calm. She said in a nonchalant tone, "Grandpa Cheng, you're here. I thought you wouldn't be coming for a while."
Old Master Cheng sensed the sarcasm in Yunzhi's words, and his expression instantly changed. "What do you mean?"
Yunzhi actually dared to lecture him?
This junior has absolutely no manners.
"Shuyan has been in this hospital for at least two days. I remember my brother notified you after the accident, but you only came today."
Yunzhi initially felt somewhat sorry for Old Master Cheng, but now, all she wanted to do was sneer.
Old Master Cheng's expression turned ugly at a visible speed.
His hands were as weathered as tree bark, with prominent blue veins.
This is a matter for the Cheng family; it's not up to an outsider to speak.
The more the old man looked at Yunzhi, the more dissatisfied he became.
Sometimes being too sharp-tongued can be off-putting.
Of all the people Yunzhi had to offer, only this background satisfied him. As for the rest... the old man grew increasingly critical and disdainful, unable to understand why Cheng Shuyan, who was always the "other people's child" in other people's eyes, would fall for such a girl who had no manners and no respect for elders.
Fearing that Yunzhi might say something else and the old man would faint from anger, the butler stepped forward and explained, "Our old man hasn't been feeling well these past few days."
