When He Jiayue woke up, several anxious faces were reflected in front of him.
"You’re awake! Thank goodness!"
Someone ran out to call the doctor.
"What happened to me?" He Jiayue moved his body, feeling a sharp pain.
"Don't move, dear!" His mother grasped his hand, tears welling in her eyes.
He recalled the shadow he saw before losing consciousness—it was a wild boar. He only recognized it when the car got closer, but it was already too late.
"You hit a startled wild boar. The car is totaled, but you’re fine, and that’s what matters," his father said from the side, his eyes bloodshot.
"What about the others? Yizhi... how is she?" He Jiayue asked anxiously.
"Everyone else is out of danger," his father paused before continuing, "Yizhi...”
"What happened to Yizhi?" He Jiayue's fingers tightened around his mother's hand, turning it red.
Suddenly, his mother couldn't hold back her tears any longer and began to cry uncontrollably.
In that moment, He Jiayue understood. But he couldn't believe such a tragic ending could be true. Had his closest companion really left him like this? He collapsed against one side of the pillow, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
"What about Yi Ye? Is she okay?" He Jiayue choked out.
"She’s fine; just some minor injuries. However, her mental state is poor; she seems like a different person," his mother said as she wiped her tears.
"I want to see her," He Jiayue struggled to sit up.
At that moment, the doctor walked in. He promptly pressed down on He Jiayue, who was lying on the bed.
"Your head has suffered a blow; you need to rest well in bed. Zhao Yi Ye is in good condition, so there's no need to worry," the doctor said, a kind expression on his face.
"No! I want to see her!"
"I've already lost one daughter-in-law; do you want me to lose a son as well?" Mom's voice suddenly rose. Everyone in the room was taken aback.
"Is Yizhi really dead? Mom!" He Jiayue looked at his mother with tears in his eyes.
"Child, don't think too much. Just rest well!"
He Jiayue closed his eyes, feeling an exhaustion he had never experienced before.
In the middle of the night, He Jiayue quietly climbed out of bed. The ward was silent. Dad was slumped over in a chair, asleep. He Jiayue gently draped a coat over him and tiptoed out of the ward.
Zhao Yi Ye's room was right next door. He pushed open the door, and aside from Yi Ye lying on the bed, there was no one else inside. He stepped into the room.
Zhao Yi Ye's body stirred slightly on the bed.
"Yi Ye!" He Jiayue whispered.
The body moved a couple more times.
He Jiayue approached the bed. Zhao Yi Ye lay there with her eyes open, her face expressionless.
"Yi Ye, your brother-in-law is here. How are you feeling?" He Jia Yue lowered her head, gazing at Yi Ye. Zhao Yi Ye turned her head to look at He Jia Yue. Her eyes moved slightly, then twice, and suddenly, they seemed to ignite with a spark of awakening light.
"He Jia Yue!" a deep and emotional call echoed.
He Jia Yue felt a jolt, as if her body had been frozen. That call sounded remarkably like her fiancée, Yizhi's voice.
"Yi Ye, are you alright?" He Jia Yue steadied herself and spoke.
"He Jia Yue, it's me, Yizhi."
He Jia Yue trembled again. It must be that silly girl Yi Ye who was confused and mistook herself for her sister. "I really am Yizhi!" Zhao Yi Ye on the hospital bed suddenly reached out and grasped He Jia Yue's hand. Her little finger gently traced circles in He Jia Yue's palm.
This was a secret code known only to them! Tears burst from He Jia Yue's eyes. She tightened her grip on the hand of the woman before her.
"But... your body..."
"I don't know either. When I woke up, everyone called me Yi Ye, but I clearly know I'm not Yi Ye; I'm Yizhi."
It felt as if a century had passed, and the woman's emotions were suddenly released, her cheeks shimmering with the joy of having survived a disaster.
"Then... what about Yi Ye?"
"My sister... she must be gone. But I have taken over her body." Yizhi wept bitterly. "My poor sister..."
"Does anyone else know?"
"I have been silent these days. I am waiting for you to tell me what to do," Zhao Yizhi gazed affectionately at He Jiayue.
That look was unmistakably Yizhi's! He Jiayue felt a strange mix of familiarity and strangeness as she looked at the person before her. The soul of her sister had taken residence in her younger sister's body—what a miracle that was!
"How is Yang Wenyan?"
"He is recovering well. He came to see me during the day, but I didn't know what to say to him, so I said nothing at all. They think my mind might have been affected. Only I know in my heart that I am Zhao Yizhi. Do you believe me, He Jiayue?"
"Of course! I absolutely believe you!" He Jiayue placed Yizhi's hand over her heart.
"But now our identities..."
"Yes, who would believe such a strange thing as a sister's soul residing in her younger sister's body?"
"He Jiayue, what should we do?"
"I don't know either. My head hurts so much!"
He Jiayue cradled her head, groaning in pain.
Footsteps echoed in the corridor as the nurse made her rounds.
"Yizhi, I have to go back now. I'll come to see you again tomorrow, and hopefully by then, I'll have thought of a solution."
