Chapter 2

An Xin loved this face. But this was not her, it was her best friend, Xu Yi.

What was going on?

Ye Shaotang’s hands clenched into fists. He ignored the woman’s confusion, but instead, he could only see that this woman had forgotten their agreement and touched his face with her dirty hands.

He could not stand that!

Ye Shaotang pushed away Xu Yi’s hands rudely for the second time. There was a look of disgust in his eyes. “Are you that desperate to have skin contact with me?”

Damn your skin contact.

An Xin ignored Ye Shaotang and ran into the toilet.

Three seconds later, a scream came from the toilet. It was so loud it could penetrate the hospital’s roof.

An Xin could not believe what had happened when she stood in front of the mirror and saw the strange yet familiar face.

The name of this face was Xu Yi. She was her best friend and she had heart disease. She rushed to the hospital after receiving news that Xu Yi was in critical condition, and she got into an accident on the way.

But why did she look like Xu Yi?

She was An Xin.

The memories in her brain were like a movie with bad signals. It was appearing in her head choppily. There were some of hers, and some of Xu Yi’s.

Xu Yi was the second miss of the Xu Family. Her mother gave birth to her after being raped. After that, the man abandoned her mother. When she was three years old, the current wife of her father took her home and she endured endless suffering. Until two years ago, she became the wife of Ye Shaotang.

However, Ye Shaotang only married Xu Yi because of his grandfather’s dying wish. He was extremely cold towards her, and he had perceived her to be a cunning and sly woman. He did not want to even look at her.

An Xin, or rather, Xu Yi’s heart was experiencing all kinds of emotions. If she was Xu Yi, then where was An Xin?

Was Xu Yi in her body?

Eager to find out the truth, Xu Yi walked out of the toilet. She ignored Ye Shaotang and walked out of the hospital room.

“Stop!”

A cold voice called out behind her. Xu Yi stopped in her tracks reflectively.

Despite the mind in the body belonging to An Xin, but at the end of the day, this was still Xu Yi’s body. There were some habits that she could not change.

“I need to take care of something. We’ll talk after I come back.”

An Xin was looking at the door firmly. Her foot was facing outwards, betraying what she had in mind.

Footsteps sounded from behind and Ye Shaotang appeared in front of her. He put a hand on her shoulder and said, “I’m advising you to not go, in case you get sad.”

“What do you mean?”

“Your best friend, An Xin, died in an accident.”

Died?

A loud buzz resonated in An Xin’s brain. Her first reaction was that this was impossible. She was in Xu Yi’s body, so Xu Yi should be in her body.

Flinging away Ye Shaotang’s hand, she said, “What do you know? Ye Shaotang, I won’t believe you until I see the body with my own eyes.”

“Then I’ll just have to let you believe me.”

Ye Shaotang grabbed Xu Yi’s wrist and walked toward that direction. In less than two minutes, he let Xu Yi believed him.

In the ice-cold room, An Xin was lying there not breathing, her body stiff and her face as pale as a piece of white paper. There was no sign of her being alive at all.

Looking at the person in front of her, An Xin panicked and felt muddled.

Who was she? Or rather, who was that person on the stretcher?

The accompanying doctor’s voice sounded next to her ear. “Chairman An said that someone from the funeral parlor will come and take her away in the afternoon.”

“...”

An Xin could not believe this. She stood there stubbornly and refused to leave. What if Xu Yi’s soul was slow? Perhaps she would wake up in the afternoon or maybe in one or two hours?

Didn’t she also wake up half an hour after the doctor pronounced her dead?

“She will come alive. Just like me.”

Xu Yi touched An Xin who was lying there. The coldness on her skin traveled from her fingertips to her heart, piercing her like a needle.

“Don’t have any wishful thinkings.” Ye Shaotang did not want to waste time staying here with Xu Yi, “My condolences.”

His words were not comforting at all. It sounded perfunctory.

Xu Yi glared at Ye Shaotang and vowed, “Ye Shaotang, do you believe that she will come back to life?”

Just like her.

“She’s been here for three days. Even if she had any chance of coming alive, she would have been frozen to death.”
