NOVEL NEXT
Chapter 146
Ye Jinmeng remained slumped on the ground. At that moment, she only wanted to rush back to her own world, apologize to Wan Wan, and apologize to her parents and brother.
The next second, the night suddenly turned into day. Zhao Di had to go to work at noon. Looking at her swollen eyes, she could only buy a popsicle on the way to soothe them, and bought a fried pancake from a roadside stall as her early lunch.
Ye Jinmeng followed behind Zhao Di. Without time to calm her emotions, she looked drained, as if she had lost her soul.
It was still early before noon. Zhao Di sat down on a long bench to eat her pancake. Ye Jinmeng stood beside her, gazing up at the sky, still unsure of the reason for her encountering Zhao Di.
If it was only to awaken her consciousness, then why did she have to observe Zhao Di's life at the beginning? Wouldn't it have been enough to directly bring her to last night and let her see this novel?
No, Zhao Di must not be a simple existence.
Ye Jinmeng began to ponder the various settings she had read in novels. Wan Wan had reincarnated, but if Wan Wan didn't reincarnate into a parallel world, then it seemed that the only way to change "Ye Jinmeng's" fate would be through body possession and time travel!
Suddenly, Ye Jinmeng felt an intense pain in her head, so excruciating that she couldn't help but clutch her head and crouch down. But if she had time traveled, why didn't she remember?
After a good while, the sudden headache gradually subsided. Ye Jinmeng, gasping for breath, looked up at Zhao Di sitting on the long bench. An answer emerged in her mind.
Was she actually Zhao Di?
At that moment, the street light directly above Zhao Di suddenly fell, crashing straight into her head. Ye Jinmeng felt a flash of red before her eyes and a dizzying sensation in her brain. When she regained her senses, the surroundings had changed again.
"Isn't this... my room?"
Ye Jinmeng turned to see the little person sitting up in bed. That was... her five-year-old self!
Little Jinmeng stared blankly at everything in the room, looking down at her small hands, her eyes reflecting shock, disbelief, and mostly panic.
At that moment, the young Gu Qi entered and, seeing Little Jinmeng awake, immediately felt her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, the fever is gone. Meng Meng, you really scared mommy."
Little Jinmeng only stared blankly at the person in front of her, trembling slightly, not daring to speak.
The scenes before Ye Jinmeng's eyes flashed rapidly. She saw her parents taking her to see various experts to examine her brain, calling soul summoners, and also saw the girl's anxiety and fear, as well as the girl's self-talk on her sixth birthday, as if being brainwashed.
"Since I've come here, I'll live here properly. Isn't this the family I've always dreamed of?"
"It's been almost a year since I came here. I'm pretty used to it now. Without the original owner's memories, I'll just pretend I have amnesia!"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. They definitely won't find out that I've possessed their daughter's body. They definitely won't send me to a research institute."
Afterwards, she saw Little Jinmeng muster up the courage to go downstairs, only to be scared by the sudden appearance of Little Shuning and fall down the stairs, get injured and lose her memory...
Ye Jinmeng watched the scenes before her, unable to stop herself from covering her mouth and crying.
She remembered, she remembered it all.
She was Zhao Di, who was killed by a falling street light and transmigrated into the childhood of the vicious "fake heiress" Ye Jinmeng in the novel "Noble Daughter."
Because of her transmigration, she was actually happy when she realized she had transmigrated, but more than that, she was panicked.
In this completely unfamiliar place, she was afraid of being discovered, because the young Ye Jinmeng was extremely spoiled. If her parents found out she wasn't their daughter, they would definitely not let her off.
So, she spent nearly a year living in fear. On her birthday, when she finally mustered the courage to take that step, she fell and lost her memory.
And after losing her memory, she no longer remembered that she was Zhao Di, or that she had transmigrated. She only knew that she was Ye Jinmeng, that Ye Junli and Gu Qi were her father and mother, and that Ye Jinchen was her brother, as well as her doting grandparents.
So this was why her parents said that after her amnesia, her personality suddenly became obedient and sensible - because this was the true nature of Zhao Di's soul within this body.
Ye Jinmeng cried until she was gasping for breath. She had been a wandering soul from another world, possessing someone else's body.
...
Seeing the girl lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed, crying, the tears streaming from the corners of her eyes no matter how much they were wiped away, Shi Shuning felt a little anxious.
"Meng Meng, Meng Meng, wake up!"
Xu Wanwan also shook Ye Jinmeng's body, "Meng Meng, what's wrong? Wake up..."
Gu Qi quickly pressed the call button by the bedside, looking worriedly at her beloved daughter.
Ye Jinchen wheeled himself over and, after thinking for a moment, pinched Ye Jinmeng's Renzhong acupoint. A few seconds later, Ye Jinmeng slowly opened her eyes.
"Meng Meng, you're finally awake! Do you know, you've been asleep for four whole days..." Shi Shuning excitedly hugged her, his voice full of hurt and grievance.
At this point, Ye Jinmeng was a little dazed, unable to distinguish whether she was in the illusion or in reality.
Then the doctor rushed in.
"Doctor, Meng Meng is awake!" Gu Qi quickly spoke.
The doctor came over and examined her, then breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay now. This is the first time I've encountered a patient who is in a coma without any symptoms."
Gu Qi felt relieved and, after thanking the doctor, walked over to Ye Jinmeng's bedside and hugged her tightly, tears streaming down her face, "Meng Meng, you really scared mommy."
Ye Jinmeng finally regained her senses, unable to control the grievance in her heart, and hugged Gu Qi tightly as she cried, "Mom, I'm sorry..."
Gu Qi thought Ye Jinmeng was apologizing because her coma had worried her, and immediately shook her head, "You don't need to apologize to mom. As long as you're okay, that's all that matters!"
Hearing this, Ye Jinmeng felt even sadder, hugging her mother and crying for a long time before finally calming down.
Xu Wanwan rubbed her eyes and spoke up, "Meng Meng, you must be hungry, right? Do you want to drink some porridge?"
Ye Jinmeng nodded, and Xu Wanwan poured a small bowl of porridge from the insulated pot, scooped up a spoonful, gently blew on it, and fed it to Ye Jinmeng.
Shi Shuning sat beside them, watching the interaction between the sisters, feeling a little heartbroken. As her boyfriend, he also wanted to feed her porridge...
He Junting had remained silent, thinking about when he could get sick too...
After dinner, Ye Jinmeng had another full body examination. When all her physical indicators were normal, she was discharged from the hospital.
However, Ye Jinmeng did not leave immediately. First, she followed Wan Wan to the intensive care unit to take a look at her uncle who had become a vegetative state, her eyes showing neither sadness nor joy. Then she went to her grandparents' ward to comfort them for a while, before heading to her elder sister Ye Jinchen's ward, intending to reveal her secret to her.
She did not want to hide anything from anyone; she only wanted to face her true self.
Upon entering the ward, her parents were not there, but Shi Shuning, He Junting, and the others were present.
"By the way, Jinmeng, you were crying before you woke up. Did you have a nightmare?" Xu Wanwan was quite curious about what dreams Ye Jinmeng had been having during the days she was in a coma.
Ye Jinmeng walked over and sat down on the sofa, a faint smile on her face. The original innocence and cuteness on her face seemed to have been replaced by a kind of indescribable melancholy.
"Yes, I had a very long dream..."
