"I thought it was some girl who had accidentally lost it, so I waited for a while. When no one came, I left." Zhao Yu clearly felt embarrassed as he spoke about it.
Could it be that, considering the current outcome, I have been entangled?
After all, he was an internet worker and had read many novels and watched many web dramas. That's how they were written, so what should he do now?
I can only seek help from an expert!
And the only one who fit the image of an expert was clearly Wen Ying.
"Dr. Wen, what should I do? She won't keep bothering me, will she?"
"Doctor Wen, please save me!"
Wen Ying sighed, "Didn't I already give you the medicine?"
Zhao Yu hurriedly took the lighter out of his pocket. "But... but, can this lighter really work?"
"Don't worry, I am a professional psychologist. If I say there's no problem, then there won't be any. Just remember to use it and keep the fire burning, and this delusion will not come near you again."
Zhao Yu felt much more at ease, but his legs were still shaking. Now, if he had to return to the hotel alone, even though the road wasn't very long, he was scared.
I could only watch Wen Ying helplessly.
Zhao Yu felt that he had lost all the face he had never lost in his entire life in just one day.
Without receiving a response from Wen Ying, Zhao Yu could only continue, "Dr. Wen, I think my psychological issues are really quite serious. Could you see if you can prescribe me some more medication, the kind that costs a thousand yuan?"
Zhao Yu spoke as he directly scanned the QR code and transferred a thousand yuan.
Wen Ying's eyes lit up. She immediately took a sheet of yellow paper from the drawer, then removed the ballpoint pen from her hair and completed the task in one go.
"Take this, and you can have a good night's sleep."
This scene, Zhao Yu felt he had seen it on trending searches, as if the person who had the car accident said they were wearing a safety talisman, so is this also a safety talisman?
Zhao Yu took the talisman paper with both hands. He remembered that the person had said there should be a sheep on the peace talisman.
Looking down, an axe?
Shouldn't there be a small animal on this amulet instead of an axe on the lighter?
How did it turn into an axe?
Could it be that he was destined to be connected with the axe?
Should he quit his current job at the big factory and take an axe to chop wood?
Why is it still the axe?
It seemed that Wen Ying sensed the emotions in Zhao Yu's silence, and her tone carried a light laugh, "Do you feel a special connection with this axe? An axe that can keep you safe—it's like a miracle cure."
Of course, it was because Wen Ying suddenly wanted to draw an axe. An axe can be used for both offense and defense. Isn't that very suitable?
"I've heard about the doctor," Zhao Yu said, putting the talisman paper in his pocket. He was much calmer now.
He couldn't keep delaying Wen Ying's rest at the clinic, so he had to muster the courage to return to the hotel.
"Dr. Wen, you should rest early."
"Wait, aren't you afraid someone might be waiting for you outside?"
Zhao Yu's body froze, and the courage he had mustered suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon!
"I'll take you there."
Zhao Yu felt that this was the turning point from misfortune to fortune!
He followed beside Wen Ying, feeling an unparalleled sense of safety. Before today, he had never thought this way, never believed that a girl could give him such a profound sense of security.
The two walked down the street, and Wen Ying looked at it, unable to help but sigh, "Actually, I've never been out at night before. I didn't expect the night view of this street to be quite nice. If it weren't for you being by my side..."
Before Wen Ying could finish her sentence, Zhao Yu grabbed her arm, his teeth chattering.
"Dr. Wen, please stop talking."
"Don't worry, you have medicine on you. She won't come near you. There's more than a meter of safe distance between you."
Not saying it was fine, but once it was said, Zhao Yu felt his legs go even weaker!
"Actually, she is an unfortunate child too. She follows you only because it's the first time she can stay by someone's side. Before you, she had never encountered such a situation."
Zhao Yu listened, and not only his body but even his thoughts began to tremble!
He had read novels and watched TV shows of this type. Was he really going to marry someone like that? No way!
He was so young, just beginning to explore the vast world. He hadn't yet met many interesting people or seen many fascinating things. How could he possibly... with her..
Fortunately, the road was not long, and they soon arrived at the inn.
The landlady hadn't gone to bed yet. When she saw Zhao Yu, she teased, "You're here to see Xiaoying, aren't you? Have you had a late-night snack? Want me to cook you a bowl?"
Zhao Yu immediately refused, two meals a day were enough.
Wen Ying left after chatting with the boss Nian for a bit.
Zhao Yu tightly clutched the talisman paper in his hand and walked step by step towards the upper floor.
This inn is not large, but it does have two floors.
The first floor was where the landlady lived, with a hall and a kitchen. The second floor had four guest rooms, and only four.
After entering, Zhao Yu slammed the door shut and gasped for breath.
The talisman paper in his hand was intact, and the axe on it remained motionless. Zhao Yu took out the lighter again and then ignited it.
Ah~
It seemed like a faint sound reached Zhao Yu's ears. He looked up and around. "Is that you? Why are you following me? Just go, I don't want to hurt you. We're just strangers, please stop clinging to me, okay?"
Zhao Yu couldn't see the girl after he left the clinic, but he knew in his heart that it was definitely her.
Probably because Dr. Wen is formidable, that's why it hid.
Thinking this, he gripped the talisman paper even tighter.
Because he was afraid, he didn't take a bath. He only washed his face and feet before curling up under the covers.
He originally thought he would be too scared to sleep through the night, but unexpectedly, he fell asleep in no time.
I'm sorry, but it seems like the source text is missing. Could you please provide the text you would like translated?
It seemed to be the place where Zhao Yu got off the car. Zhao Yu stood not far away, looking at this place. Under two trees sat a young girl, probably under 20 years old. This face was exactly the same as the one he saw on the way back from the ancient street.
But there was a touch of gentleness, and his face seemed to still carry a hint of fear.
Beside her, there were two men who looked to be in their thirties. They were staring intently at the girl. Just as Zhao Yu was wondering if they were a family, the two men suddenly grabbed the girl's arm and slapped her.
"If you dare to shout again, we'll break your legs and pull out your tongue!"
Being treated like this by the two of them, the girl's body began to tremble, but she tried hard to appear calm, knowing that otherwise, she would be beaten.
She didn't know where this place was. When someone got out of the car, her back was immediately restrained, with a knife pressed against it.
She didn't dare make a sound, but she was terrified that they would really sell her off, sell her to some remote mountainous area. She had seen those news reports; it was too horrifying, simply not a life fit for humans.
When she wanted to resist, one of her beautiful shoes fell off.
She kept running, running and running!
In this unfamiliar place, she couldn't determine if there were accomplices among these people, if there were any good people, or if everyone was like this. She didn't dare to take the risk.
So, in the midst of running headlong, they didn't see the slanted cliff and leaped off.
