Yan Luoxi didn't know why she was becoming more and more depressed and fragile. She felt a kind of pessimism that even she couldn't control spreading, making her feel overly delicate, like the weak female protagonist in a romance drama who inexplicably began to frown and sigh.

However, she could not change this situation. She felt as if this gloominess was something inherent within her body since birth, and she couldn't recall how she had become like this. She wasn't sure about the extent of her past injuries or betrayals; it was a profound sense of weariness that made everything seem grayish and empty.

When Shao Junhe first noticed changes in Yan Luoxi, he didn’t realize anything unusual at first. He was happy to see her becoming more compliant and docile because she no longer chased or scolded him. He felt very fortunate and content.

But gradually, he began to notice that Yan Luoxi seemed to be in an abnormal state: calm expression, vacant eyes, lips slightly pursed, silent as if lost in another world.

Seeing this state of Yan Luoxi made Shao Junhe start to feel afraid. He knew how lively and playful she used to be; he remembered her vivid smile well. This change in her gave him a very uneasy feeling.

Intrigued, Shao Junhe went to consult with a familiar doctor about Yan Luoxi’s condition. The doctor then accompanied him back to Yan Luoxi's room for an initial consultation and examination. Afterward, the doctor expressed serious concern to Shao Junhe, suggesting that Yan Luoxi might be suffering from mild depression.

Depression!!!

This term, Shao Junhe had heard before, but he never imagined that such a disease would appear among the people around him. He was even more surprised to find out that Yan Luoxi had contracted this terrifying illness.

In recent days, he had thought that Yan Luoxi was depressed due to heartbreak, silent and withdrawn. He never considered the possibility of her suffering from depression.

The doctor advised Shao Junhe to take Yan Luoxi to a nearby hospital for psychiatric care or buy some medication used by patients with mental disorders for her, but Shao Junhe strongly rejected this suggestion. He firmly believed that his beloved girl was still a normal person and definitely not mentally ill.

Among all the doctors' suggestions, Shao Junhe adopted the idea of taking Yan Luoxi out more often to interact with people and things outside her world.

Yan Luoxi had been immersed in her own world for days; her thoughts and behavior were beginning to show signs of inertia. When Shao Junhe suggested going for a walk, she showed slight resistance on her usually calm face. However, Shao Junhe didn't want to let her get away with it this time. He encouraged Yan Luoxi gently but firmly to change clothes.

Yan Luoxi seemed somewhat afraid of the serious-looking Shao Junhe and followed his instructions obediently, retreating into the bathroom to come out wearing a light green dress.

The dresses she wore in the past were slightly loose on her; they hung loosely around the waist. Illness had drained all energy from her body, making her look thin with sharp cheekbones and large eyes. Her complexion was so pale it seemed almost translucent, but this appearance gave her an ethereal beauty that evoked a sense of pity.

Shao Junhe tenderly combed Yan Luoxi's tangled hair, clumsily applying a bit of lip gloss to give her some color, then took her hand and led her downstairs.

The few servers downstairs were all aware that the handsome and noble Shao Junhe had an unusual girlfriend who always stayed in a guest room without showing her face, reportedly looking very haggard and ugly.

Today was the first time these people saw Yan Luoxi’s true appearance, and they couldn’t help but feel secretly shocked. This delicate and frail girl possessed a unique kind of beauty, like a gentle breeze or light rain, making others feel comfortable and contented.

Shao Junhe considerately held onto Yan Luoxi's hand as he walked out of the hotel door. After staying in the hotel for many days, looking at the bustling streets with cars and people passing by, Yan Luoxi felt somewhat unaccustomed to the clamor of worldly life.

She looked at everything before her eyes, revealing a hint of surprise and confusion, as she slowly furrowed her delicate brows. Unconsciously, she tightly held onto Shao Junhe's hand.

Shao Junhe clearly felt Yan Luoxi’s dependence on him; he couldn’t help but feel delighted as he gently clasped her hand in return and softly said to her ear, "Don't be afraid, Luoxi. Nothing can hurt you anymore. I will always stay by your side."

Yan Luoxi seemed to understand Shao Junhe’s words; she no longer resisted but let him牽著她的手慢慢往前走。him lead her hand gently forward.

The town wasn't very large, with only one main street that could be walked from end to end in half an hour. After over a month of living here, Shao Junhe and Yan Luoxi had become familiar faces at the shops along both sides of the street; everyone knew about this extraordinary-looking young man who was handsome, noble, gentle, and generous-handed, as well as his girlfriend who stayed inside the hotel to recuperate.

Today, seeing Shao Junhe finally walking down the street with a girl in tow, smiling warmly, everyone felt very happy for him. They all greeted them enthusiastically and grinned at them sincerely: "Mr. Shao, are you taking your girlfriend out for a walk"

"Sir, your girlfriend looks much better!"

"Young man, your girlfriend is so beautiful!"

...

Shao Junhe politely and cheerfully responded to the greetings coming from all directions. Yan Luoxi was touched by this simple warmth, and her tense nerves gradually relaxed.

As they passed a flower shop on the street, the female owner took out a bouquet of roses from a bucket, inserted two lilies in the middle, and added some baby's breath for decoration. After trimming it slightly and tying it with ribbon, she handed the flowers to Shao Junhe: "Mr. Shao, this is for both of you."

"Thank you, auntie." While thanking her, Shao Junhe reached into his pocket to take out some money.

"Mr. Shao, you don't need to pay me for this bouquet," the female owner hurriedly stopped him. "Ever since you came to our town, every morning and evening, you buy flowers from me to send to your sick girlfriend. This kind heart of yours even moved me. Today I give these flowers to both of you as a blessing for eternal love and happiness!"

Shao Junhe was both pleased and surprised by the owner's words, worrying that they might upset Yan Luoxi. He quickly turned to observe her expression; she seemed not to have understood what the auntie said, merely smiling at the bouquet of flowers.to enter Lian’s heart are just dreaming!"After the incident involving Yan Luoxi, Shao Meizhu had become wiser and wasn’t as brutal towards the women that Lian brought back anymore.
