Chapter 1101: Chapter 1100: Has Someone Been Here?

Shen Mianmian removed her makeup and left the film set, and as she got into the car, she subconsciously looked around. The driver noticed and couldn’t help asking, "What’s the matter, Miss Shen?"

"Nothing." Shen Mianmian shook her head, thinking to herself that there might be paparazzi around.

With that thought, she got into the car and, exhausted from the day, went home, took a bath, and went to bed.

In the middle of the night, Shen Mianmian dreamt of He Nan again, still feeling that sense of helplessness, but this time, she heard his response as if he were right beside her.

This familiar feeling made Shen Mianmian want to immerse herself in it and not wake up. She didn’t know how much time had passed when she suddenly woke up, grabbed her phone, and saw it was two in the morning.

Shen Mianmian couldn’t fall back asleep and found herself staring blankly at the headboard.

Five years ago, every time He Nan came back at night, he would quietly enter and lie down beside her, wrapping his arms around her.

For five years, she had not stopped hoping that, one morning, she would wake up to find him beside her. Sometimes, she even wished that all of this was just a nightmare, and upon waking, she would find their family of three living happily together.

Unfortunately, every time she woke up, she was faced with an empty room.

Only when Xiaobei was beside her could she find a moment of comfort.

Shen Mianmian was deep in thought when she suddenly noticed something amiss; she distinctly remembered locking the bedroom door from the inside before going to sleep, but now, it wasn’t locked.

Could she have remembered incorrectly the night before?

Or... had someone come in?

Shen Mianmian was startled by this thought and immediately turned on the light, looked around, and finding no one, opened the door and walked into the yard.

The empty yard contained nothing but the bright moonlight scattered on the ground, leaving Shen Mianmian feeling a sense of disappointed despair.

"Big Brother He, is that you? Have you come back?"

"If you have come back, whether as a human or a ghost, can you let me see you, just once?"

"Just once."

Tears suddenly began to flow uncontrollably, and Shen Mianmian broke down like never before.

She sat on the steps in the yard, weakly saying, "Big Brother He, lately I’ve been feeling like you’ve come back, always feeling you’re around me, but I can’t find any trace of your return. I dare not tell anyone, fearing they’d worry. I’m also afraid that Xiaobei, knowing his dad had come back and then lost him again, would be disappointed. Xiaobei is very sensible and never asks about his dad, but I know he’s always hoped to see him."

Her voice became increasingly choked up, her vision blurred by tears, her body radiating a helpless sadness.

In the corner, there was a slight tremor from a figure that seemed about to step out, but suddenly a knocking sound came from outside the yard.

"Mianmian, it’s me, can you open the door?"

Recognizing the voice from outside, Shen Mianmian trembled, wiped her tears, and slowly opened the front gate.

Ruan Feng stood at the door with a worried expression and reddened eyes, "Mianmian, are you alright?"

"I’m fine," Shen Mianmian disguised her emotions. "Dad, in the middle of the night, why are you outside?"

"I couldn’t sleep, so I went for a walk, and hearing some noise in your yard, I feared something might happen to you," Ruan Feng said.

He looked at Shen Mianmian with a pained expression but asked no further questions.

Over the years, Ruan Feng would walk to Shen Mianmian’s front gate every night. He could not feel at ease without checking on Shen Mianmian, and it had become a habit.
