The two of them stopped talking after that. Yena was shocked into choking from hearing Ethan Zhao's words, 'liking me', it was unclear what was wrong with Ethan Zhao, but from that moment on he kept a sullen expression, seeming to have fallen into a bad mood.
She pushed her wheelchair too hard and made a turn in a wrong direction. Ethan didn't stop her and just let her. He just followed her silently. Yena wasn't in the mood to pay attention to him. Suddenly Yena was stunned. She saw Chuchu floating towards another patient's room. Not wasting time Yena made a run for it. She pushed her wheel chair like her life depends on it and followed Chuchu. Not caring about her surrounding she opened the door and found Chuchu floating above a dead patient.
"Chuchu!!!! Finally!!" Yena screamed with joy.
"Hello. May I ask who are you? Are you one of his other lovers?" The wife of the dead patient angrily asked her.
"As you can see we're having a difficult time right now. My husband is dead and everyone's sad. Plus some bitches came. So please leave if you've got the wrong room."
Yena couldn't hear what the woman said. Her eyes were focused on Chuchu. Suddenly Chuchu was seemingly entering the dead body.
A low sound came from nearby. While in a daze, Yena suddenly realized that her hand had been grabbed. After coming to her senses, she found out that everyone was looking at her in astonishment. As it turns out, she had unknowingly reached out to touch the corpse before Ethan Zhao grabbed her hand from behind.
Yena was at a loss. She knew that she looked like someone else right now. No one would allow her to touch the body, but she just need to touch Chuchu to activate the system! Yena remembered something that Chuchu has told her. When some system catch a virus they forget who their host is, those system will look for another soul to serve. The original host just need to touch it and reboot it. Yena needs Chuchu even if she has been given the chance to be free for some time. Chuchu was her system her only friend and also she need Chuchu to gain points and be promoted. That's her job! She was a wandering soul saved by the system. If she completes all her task, she'll be granted immortality. She was not sure if she wants to stay here in this world.
Yena already knew she had no way to retreat the nurses were already preparing to transfer the body.
So she would take her chances! Yena shook off Ethan Zhao's hand and fiercely threw herself towards the dead body," Chuchu!! Yena cried out loud without shedding tears at the same time.
Because Yena suddenly rushed out so suddenly, Ethan Zhao and everyone else hadn't had enough time to stop her. She was able to grab the body's hand. After that, it turned into a big mess. The screamers shrieked. The critics criticized. Those who had grabbed at her, pulled her away. Yena didn't pay any attention to them at all.
She only paid attention to one thing, the hand she had touched had been so cold, and it hadn't given off even the slightest reaction.
Her spirit and flesh had come into contact, yet the world still remained the same; she was still sitting in the wheelchair, there was still no kind of movement from the corpse.
Yena suddenly felt a complete lack of hope.
She lost Chuchu! She's trapped in this world.
And so, when Ethan Zhao glared at her, he saw the woman in front of him with a blank, helpless, sorrowful look in her eyes and the two rivers of tears that were streaming from those red eyes.
Ethan Zhao stared blankly and knit his brows, as if by habit. When he was about to open his mouth, a nearby family member of the deceased, middle-aged man, suddenly asked him, "Another lover huh?!"
Naturally, the questioner was corpse' wife.
The wife's question was a little difficult to answer. Her actions just now had been that of a lover who had been madly in love, but the problem with that was that her 'hubby' was standing right behind her. If it had been just Yena on her own, she could have told some lies to smooth things over. But if Ethan Zhao's own newlywed wife of but a few weeks were to say she was someone else's mistress in front of him, would he kill Yena? Yena could not afford losing Ethan's support now that Chuchu is totally gone.
While she was at a loss, Ethan Zhao's voice suddenly sounded out from behind, "No."
Yena stared blankly and quickly nodded along, "Yes, I'm really not."
"Oh, is that so? Now please get out." The wife lightly bit her lip as she politely said, her hoarse voice thick with grief.
Yena was immediately distressed; she blurted out, "What do I do without you"
Wife: "...."
...…
After the viewing, Ethan Zhao slowly pushed Yena out from room. Her gaze swept over the body. Hoping Chuchu would come out somehow. Her heart pained.
From now on, she has to live as this man's wife and find a way to find her freedom.
Yena's already-reddened eyes suddenly became even redder. ' I miss Chuchu' Yena sorrowfully thought recalling her memories with her.
On this side, Yena silently mourned her miserable fate, her tears unwittingly came flowing out. On the other side, Ethan Zhao expressionlessly watched as the woman before him' eyes once again turn red like a little rabbit; her cheeks streaming with tears.
In the end, Ethan Zhao couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and hand it over.
Sorrow was sorrow, Yena took the handkerchief. And covered her face with it. After that, a loud nose-blowing sound could be heard.
The corners of Ethan Zhao's mouth twitched.
Yena calmly finished blowing her nose. When she saw Ethan Zhao's directly staring at her, she only blankly stared back, before she impolitely returned the handkerchief, "Thanks, here."
Ethan Zhao collected the handkerchief then immediately hurled it into a nearby trashcan.
Yena looked at him. Suddenly, because she had cried too much before, she couldn't help start to hiccup.
Ethan Zhao looked at the tears hanging onto her long eyelashes and said in a deep voice, "What are you crying about?"
Yena choked, then said in a low voice, "This man is too pitiful. Death is scary, I just felt sad because I too experienced near death situation." Yena somewhat lied.
Ethan Zhao didn't believe her answer and so, he asked again, "You really don't know him?"
Yena answered with a straight face, "I really don't know him."
Ethan Zhao lightly scoffed, "Didn't you say that you didn't remember anything? How do you know if you knew him or not?"
If you know that then why are you even asking me?! Yena was silently angry and secretly gave him the middle finger.
Contrarily, Ethan Zhao stared at her.
"Women really like crying." Suddenly stucking out a finger and wiped under her eyes
When she realized that Ethan Zhao was wiping her tears, Yena instantly lost it.
Your mom! To actually receive this nauseatingly romantic action from him. Yena was not ready to adjust with that face yet!!
