I was brought by a man to a courtyard on the east side of the village.

After taking me to the room, he went out.

In the house, besides a small bed, there was only a shabby desk and a wooden cabinet with a missing door.

When I woke up again, it was already late at night.

After examining the room's setup, I walked to the doorway and bumped into the man who was pushing the door open.

He was holding a bowl of food and a bowl of water.

"You have a bit of hypoglycemia, the conditions in the village are simple, make do with this food."

I glanced at the food; besides a few yellowing vegetable leaves on the white rice, there were also some pieces of blood-colored meat emitting a faint rotten smell.

I quickly averted my gaze, my stomach churning.

"Thank you, I'm not hungry right now."

Seeing my rejection, he didn't say anything but instead brought the bowl of water to me.

Looking at the familiar face of the man, I fought back the stinging in my eyes, my voice tinged with tears.

"Who... exactly are you? Why did you bring me here?"

The man's previously smiling face suddenly froze.

He stared at me closely and said word by word, "Hanha, I am your fiancé, Teng Yu."

"No, impossible, you're not! He is already dead!"

The man's shadow on the ground came closer to mine.

With a pale face, I stepped back a few steps.

"Teng Yu" approached me, a quick flash of pain and suppressed hurt in his eyes.

"Hanha, listen to me, what you see may not all be real..."

Holding my head, I loudly retorted.

"No, I saw with my own eyes him being cremated, I arranged his funeral myself."

"Teng Yu" remained silent, lips pursed.

He brought the bowl of water to my lips, his voice gentle, very much like the man in my memories.

"When you had your period, you always asked me to prepare lemon sugar water for you, and you had a habit of drinking a cup before bed. Sometimes, if it wasn't sweet enough, you liked adding acacia honey."

My eyebrows moved slightly, though it was a trivial matter, only Teng Yu and I knew about it.

Because it was a habit we developed after getting together.

But......

I feel dizzy.

Why?

Since entering this village, I've been getting dizzy.

This symptom hasn't appeared in me for a long time.

I shook my head, seeing double images of the man in front of me.

"Hanha!"

With my eyes closed and body swaying, I was taken into "Teng Yu"'s arms.

I felt him feed me the bowl of water.

"Hanha, drink, you'll feel better after drinking."

The water not only tasted unsweet but also had an indescribable strange taste.

Both fishy and astringent.
