Wei Yumeng's eyes had completely lost their light. Yes, what else could she do by staying in this world now?
There was no answer that could convince herself.
She walked step by step towards the lake. Her current appearance was like a soulless husk, unable to recall anything, unwilling to think of anything, only wanting to end her tragic life as quickly as possible.
Wei Yumeng's reflection in the water, so terrible, even surprised herself. In just one night, she had become so disheveled.
She had attempted to take her own life before, but Zhan Mohan had appeared just in time, forcing her to abandon that idea. In fact, she had known how to escape this painful life since then.
Wei Yumeng couldn't help but give a bitter laugh. Today, no one would stop her.
But just as she was about to take the first step towards the lake, a familiar voice sounded behind her.
"Yumeng! Don't."
Zhan Mohan looked pained. Did Wei Yumeng really want to leave him so much?
Wei Yumeng's feet stopped. She hesitated for a moment before retracting her foot.
"Mohan…"
Wei Yumeng's voice trembled slightly. Even though she wanted to end her life, seeing the person she loved, she still wavered.
"Yumeng, don't do anything foolish. No matter what happens, we can solve it together."
Wei Yumeng shook her head. "No one can help me, and I don't want to be a burden to you anymore."
How could Wei Yumeng not see that Zhan Mohan's current state had completely lost his usual magnificent aura? Wasn't all of this because of her?
She didn't care about anyone else, but she especially hoped that Zhan Mohan wouldn't hate her.
"Yumeng, you are never a burden to me. No matter what you become, my feelings for you will never change."
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath. Even though Zhan Mohan said so, she couldn't get past her own barrier. She would rather sacrifice herself to stop Zhan Mohan from continuing like this.
"Mohan, listen to me. I'm just mentally ill now. Everything has changed. I can't stay by your side anymore. I don't know how I can convince myself to keep living."
Her voice was exceptionally calm, as if she were discussing an ordinary matter with Zhan Mohan. However, this time, she was discussing Wei Yumeng's life.
Zhan Mohan took a step forward. "What if it's for me?"
Wei Yumeng blinked slightly, her eyes widening. She looked at Zhan Mohan with a hint of confusion.
Zhan Mohan lowered his voice, even with a trace of pleading. "If you don't know how to convince yourself to live, then just live for me, okay?"
Wei Yumeng bit her lower lip. Although she tried to hold back tears, they still streamed down her cheeks.
"Do you know that those who are left behind are often the most miserable? Do you really want to leave me alone?"
Zhan Mohan said softly. He could already imagine what he would become if Wei Yumeng left him here.
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan, then turned to look at the water, as if considering where her final destination should be.
Zhan Mohan suddenly smiled at Wei Yumeng. "If you really plan to leave this world, why not take me with you?"
As he spoke, he walked to the other side, looking as if he had decided to accompany Wei Yumeng.
"No, don't!"
Wei Yumeng finally left the lakeside and ran towards Zhan Mohan.
The moment Wei Yumeng embraced Zhan Mohan, he held her just as tightly.
"I finally caught you again."
Zhan Mohan looked into Wei Yumeng's eyes, his gaze full of smiles. There was no trace of his earlier intention to jump into the lake with her.
"You lied to me!"
But Wei Yumeng wasn't angry at all. She just held Zhan Mohan tightly.
Only she herself knew how terrified she had been when Zhan Mohan expressed his desire to end his life. It was the first time she had felt such deep fear of separation from Zhan Mohan.
She finally understood what it meant to be "the one left behind is the most miserable."
"Mohan," Wei Yumeng buried her face in Zhan Mohan's embrace. "I am willing."
Zhan Mohan blinked slightly, momentarily unsure what Wei Yumeng was referring to.
"I am willing to live for you."
Zhan Mohan couldn't help but hold Wei Yumeng tighter.
"Ahem, I'm relieved to see you two like this." Mu Linjing said somewhat awkwardly. She had been here for a while but couldn't find an opportunity to speak.
Jing Yan smiled. "I knew they would be fine."
Hearing the voices, Wei Yumeng blushed instantly and felt too embarrassed to come out of Zhan Mohan's embrace.
"I'm here to tell you something. The renowned psychological expert has been contacted, and I've arranged an appointment for tomorrow." Jing Yan said and then turned to leave.
Mu Linjing looked at Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan, then at Jing Yan, and decisively chose to leave with Jing Yan.
Zhan Mohan whispered to Wei Yumeng, "Jing Yan and I contacted a world-renowned psychological expert. I believe that once he examines you, everything will become clear."
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan in surprise. "Mohan, you actually believe what I said before, don't you?"
Zhan Mohan looked a little embarrassed. "Actually, for a while, I did think you were genuinely ill. However, I discovered many suspicious things a few days ago. Don't worry, I will give you an explanation this time."
Wei Yumeng hugged Zhan Mohan tightly again. "Yes, I believe you."
The next day, introduced by Jing Yan, they finally met the psychological expert, but he looked so familiar.
Stuart smiled at the two of them. "Do you find me familiar?"
Wei Yumeng looked bewildered, but Zhan Mohan remembered. Yesterday, in the park, when he was trying to persuade Wei Yumeng, this person had been standing nearby.
"I didn't expect you to be Mr. Stuart."
Stuart looked at them very gently, which made Zhan Mohan doubt Jing Yan's words. Jing Yan had said this expert had a strange temper and was difficult to get along with, but it didn't seem to be the case now.
"I was just out for a stroll yesterday and happened to see that scene. Your relationship reminded me of my late wife. I also didn't expect your friend to know me, so when I heard you needed help, I was naturally happy to assist."
Zhan Mohan then understood. It was merely a coincidence that Stuart felt a connection, otherwise, it would not have been so easy to arrange the appointment.
"Alright, now let me examine your wife." Stuart looked at Wei Yumeng.
