After Wuyan once again called “Cheng Yin,” Su Nianqin finally realized how serious the situation was and sought advice from a doctor. Wuyan herself didn’t avoid him, but the “Cheng Yin” in her mind was very wary of him. The doctor noted that since “Cheng Yin” usually didn’t appear when Su Nianqin was with Wuyan, spending more time alone together might help reduce her symptoms.
The doctor explained that while bringing Wuyan to the hospital for interventional therapy might help alleviate symptoms more quickly, it could also cause more psychological burdens in the long run. Therefore, conservative treatment was more appropriate. Wuyan received a call from Yu Weilan, who shared that her stepmother relationship with Su Nianqin had been very poor. At one point, he had lost the ability to love due to psychological issues.
But Wuyan’s arrival changed him—he gradually overcame the inner demons that had trapped him for years. Yu Weilan believed that Su Nianqin deeply loved Wuyan and hoped she would marry him with peace of mind. Wuyan agreed to accompany Su Nianqin to visit his father. One night, Wuyan watched a movie about friendship and loss. She wanted to tell Su Nianqin about it, but when she reached the part about losing a friend, she grew emotional and couldn’t go on.
The next day, Su Nianqin had someone study the movie, which turned out to be about a Nobel Prize winner who struggled with delusions all his life. After Wuyan completed her graduate studies, Su Nianqin and her mother attended her graduation ceremony. He planned for them to marry right after. While preparing for the wedding at a bridal shop, Wuyan ran into Peng Ruixing, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.
Wearing a pink shirt, he jokingly told her that if she regretted accepting Su Nianqin’s proposal, he was always available as a backup. The day before the wedding, following the Su family tradition, Su Nianqin returned to the ancestral home for the night. That evening, both he and Wuyan, unable to sleep, talked on the phone until they fell asleep. The next morning, Wuyan, reluctant to get out of bed on her big day, was woken up by her mother.
At the wedding, Wuyan walked toward Su Nianqin with her eyes closed, recalling their first meeting with every step. Su Nianqin looked at his bride, grateful that she chose to love him. After the ceremony, Wuyan handed the bouquet to Sister Xi. After marriage, Su Nianqin insisted on maintaining a small ritual: every day, he would ring the doorbell and wait for Wuyan to open the door and embrace him.
When Wuyan noticed this, she started leaving the door unlocked, expecting him to walk in directly. But Su Nianqin would still ring the bell and wait. Eventually, Wuyan left the door wide open, but he still stopped outside, rang the bell, and waited for her to come greet him before entering. Wuyan found this behavior puzzling and mentioned it to Xiaolu, who found it endearing.
She explained that this was likely Su Nianqin’s way of expressing his sense of ritual, just like giving her a ring and writing a marriage certificate. These actions were his way of showing how important Wuyan was to him. Having her open the door every day was his way of seeking reassurance that he was equally important to her.
