When I woke up again, it was already broad daylight.

I was still wearing yesterday's clothes, stained with some dirt and wrinkles at the hem.

I have always loved cleanliness, and frowned a little at the sight.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and a woman wearing a linen dress walked in. She had a silver snake hairpin in her bun.

Seeing me looking at her, she squinted her eyes and smiled, deep wrinkles showing at the corners.

She handed me a bundle, "Girl, you're awake? My last name is Zhang, from the village chief's family. This is the change of clothes your husband asked me to prepare for you."

I quickly reached out to refuse, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang, but there's no need for the trouble. I am heading back to the provincial city today."

Upon hearing that I was leaving, her once smiling face suddenly turned sullen.

Those narrow eyes, like evaluating merchandise, scanned me from head to toe.

"Going back? Girl, don't joke with your aunt. Your husband is still here, how can you leave alone?"

Feeling uncomfortable under her strange gaze, I forced a stiff smile, "Aunt, I think you misunderstood...”

"Hanha, are you feeling better today?"

"Teng Yu" suddenly walked in.

Aunt Zhang, seeing "Teng Yu" return, put the bundle on the table, teased him a few times, and left.

The room, which was somewhat narrow, now only had "Teng Yu" and me.

I felt a bit unnatural, looking down to avoid his gaze.

Stammering, I said, "I am leaving here today. Can you take me away?"

I knew "Teng Yu" wouldn't agree.

Sure enough, he refused directly.

"Hanha, trust me. I will send you away after a while."

Inside, I was incredibly flustered and deeply regretting my hasty decision to come to this village.

Everything here was uncontrollable and bizarre.

"Why?"

"Teng Yu" did not continue the topic. He looked at me sideways.

"You just got here and are unfamiliar with the surroundings. Let me take you out to recognize the paths. So you don't go the wrong way and end up in places you shouldn't."

"Teng Yu's" words seemed to have hidden meanings.

My face darkened, and I followed him out in silence.

As soon as we stepped out, I saw a number of villagers standing at the courtyard gate.

Those people, seeing me, couldn't hide their excitement. Someone even wiped their mouth.

"Wow, Teng Yu's wife is really beautiful, much prettier than the girls in our village."

"Yes, not only pretty, but she also looks... delicious."

The person who said this wiped his mouth again.

I looked at him; he had a small head and a robust body.

His eyes were asymmetrical, with the left eye particularly bulging, the right eye having more white than iris, making him look quite deformed.

I stiffly shifted my gaze, suppressing my discomfort.

"Teng Yu" smiled and exchanged pleasantries with the villagers. After a while, he led me away.

I closely followed behind him, frowning at the back of the man.

Is it really possible for two people in this world to look exactly alike?

Could someone have undergone plastic surgery to look like him?

No!
