Chapter 2: Exchange of Identities
Could it be that they really swapped? Mo Yu thought.
As if to verify her guess, there was a sudden movement in the chair beside her.
Gu Lian did not expect to suddenly wake up.
That car accident had caused him to lie in bed for more than three years. Every day, he could not open his eyes and could not hear the movements around him. It was as if he was isolated from the world. Occasionally, he could feel the pain in his hands, but he could not do anything.
The aftereffect of suddenly waking up was that he was blinded by the light until he shed tears. When he could see normally, the first thing he saw was himself still lying on the hospital bed.
Am I… dead?
Gu Lian looked at the electrocardiogram at the head of the bed and his heartbeat.
But the person on the bed was indeed him.
Gu Lian stretched out his hand in confusion, wanting to see if he could touch anything.
The next second, he noticed that these didn't seem to be his hands.
He had never done heavy work since he was young. The only calluses on his fingers were from doing homework and practicing calligraphy when he was young. However, although his hands were indeed a girl's hands, there were many small scars left behind by frostbite on the knuckles. There were calluses on his palms and two blood blisters.
It didn't look like the kind of hands any girl living in the city should have. It looked more like the hands of a rural laborer he'd seen on television.
Gu Lian stared at himself on the bed silently. Unexpectedly, a girl's voice appeared in his mind.
"Hi, fiancé, I'm your beloved fiancée!"
"You're in my body now?" Gu Lian was very receptive and vengeful. If he remembered correctly, this voice had started to appear a week ago. At first, the voice would say things to him, but as long as this voice appeared, his arm would always feel a sharp pain.
Without waiting for the voice to answer, Gu Lian rolled up the sleeves of the body lying on the hospital bed. Sure enough, there were some small wounds on his forearm that should have been caused by this person.
"You say that I'm your fiancé, but you come over every day to stab me with a needle and use me to vent your anger." Gu Lian laughed mockingly.
Mo Yu was shocked. She knew that the cannon fodder character would not have a good ending. She hurriedly explained, "Listen to me. This is all a misunderstanding. I'm helping you find an acupuncture point to see if it can stimulate your nerves and wake you up!"
Gu Lian had already found the needle that she had casually placed on the bedside table. He picked it up and examined it carefully.
"Do you think I'll believe you? You used this to stab me before, right?" As he spoke, Gu Lian used the needle to gently prick the body that was still lying on the hospital bed.
"You can feel it now, right? The feeling of being powerless to resist."
Before he could press the needle in, he suddenly lay back in his body.
"Fortunately, it can be changed back." Mo Yu heaved a sigh of relief. She turned around and threw the needle into the toilet in the independent bathroom before flushing it down.
Gu Lian felt a little hopeless. If the initiative was not in his hands, many things would become involuntary. What did this woman want?
Mo Yu sat on the chair at the side and looked at Gu Lian with an increasingly perverted gaze.
God knew how she had survived the three years of the apocalypse. She had not slept well, had not taken a good hot shower, and even a good meal was an extravagant hope.
Moreover, even if she had transmigrated into the book, she was still more or less feeling the aftereffects of the apocalypse. Her ears rang and her heart pounded. It would probably take a long time for her to settle down.
However, this Gu Lian was different. He could not open his eyes and could not hear much movement. In addition, the exchange just now made her realize that the bed in this hospital was really very soft. The more Mo Yu thought about it, the more tempted she became.
Perhaps she could make an exchange and let this big shot change the fate of this cannon fodder. She would bear the pain of not being able to move for the big shot.
Mo Yu sat upright on the chair without hesitation and thought, "Let me lie down for you from now on!"
The next second, she got what she wanted.
When Gu Lian opened his eyes again, he was sitting on the chair. The needle had disappeared.
Mo Yu closed her eyes peacefully. "Fiancé, the rest of the operation will depend on you. I will bear your pain of not being able move or speak!"
Gu Lian looked at himself lying on the bed and couldn't figure out what Mo Yu wanted.
She had viciously stabbed him with a needle for so long, and now she was giving him the initiative. Wasn't she afraid of being disfigured or self-harmed?
"What do you want? We can cooperate." Gu Lian patiently communicated with the person lying on the bed.
No reaction?
Gu Lian offered a higher price, but the other party remained unmoved.
Gu Lian could not take it anymore and wanted to push her awake. The next second, he heard a voice in his mind.
"Zzz—"
Gu Lian: "?"
'I'm negotiating terms with you and you're f*cking asleep?'
…
"She's been inside for so long, why hasn't she come out?"
"Could it be that Gu Lian woke up?"
Outside the ward, Mo Xue and the daughters of various wealthy families were still waiting.
There were many rules in the Gu family, and only the fiancée and immediate family members were allowed to enter.
In the crowd of people who were constantly discussing, Mo Xue stood quietly at the side like a lotus flower. She only responded when someone talked to her.
She was no longer the fake daughter of the Mo family. Her biological parents were the Shen family, a business giant. They had just found her not long ago. Compared to the Shen family, the Mo family was simply a poor family.
