Wu Rong walked in quietly, careful not to wake Rao Jie. He gently picked her up and carried her back to his room, holding her close as he prepared to sleep.
Rao Jie shifted uncomfortably.
A soft whisper came from behind her. “What’s wrong? Did I wake you?”
Rao Jie sighed, “I’m not a pig. If you carry me around like this, how can I not wake up?”
Wu Rong chuckled softly. “I can’t help it. I’m just not used to sleeping without holding you.”
Rao Jie paused slightly. The word "used to" struck a nerve.
As she was lost in thought, Wu Rong suddenly slipped his hand under her shirt, gently caressing her, drawing even closer. The implication was clear.
Rao Jie felt even worse.
Wu Rong's voice was low and husky as he said, “Since you’re awake, how about we…”
Rao Jie struggled to control her rising anxiety and replied, “You’ve worked so hard today; do you really have the energy for this?”
Wu Rong laughed lightly. “Are you doubting my stamina? I…”
“No, I’m just thinking it’s so late now, and you still have research to do tomorrow. Are you sure this won’t interfere with your work?” Rao Jie asked tentatively.
Wu Rong paused, clearly irritated by her concern. He tightened his hold on her and nuzzled closer, somewhat impatiently saying, “Just sleep.”
But hearing those words made Rao Jie feel cold inside.
After a moment of silence, she murmured, “Wu Rong, do you think we live in the same world?”
Wu Rong mumbled an incoherent response, sounding half-asleep. “What’s wrong? Watching a sci-fi movie? If it’s not the same world, then are there parallel worlds? Although from a scientific perspective…”
“I don’t mean that,” Rao Jie interrupted him.
Finally sensing something was off, Wu Rong asked, “What’s wrong? You seem different today. Did I upset you somehow? Or did Nina say something that bothered you?”
Rao Jie thought for a moment but couldn’t find the right words; she felt suffocated by her own negativity.
“I just feel like Nina has a point. I’m not like someone as talented as you. You can achieve things that others can’t even dream of, while I’m just one among many. I’m not irreplaceable; anyone could achieve similar results as me. My existence doesn’t really matter.”
Rao Jie felt engulfed by despair and pessimism, struggling to breathe under its weight.
Wu Rong fell silent for a moment and said, "You’ve forgotten what you once told me."
"What you said back then, in your excitement, seemed to mean: not everyone is a genius, and not everyone can engage in academic research. Most of the world is made up of ordinary people, and it is the ordinary things they do that keep society running."
"So… what matters is not whether what you do is significant, but whether you enjoy it. Can those things make you feel fulfilled and complete in life?"
"I may not be able to guide your life, but I believe the root of your worries lies in the fact that you don’t truly like the path you’ve chosen. It’s because of this dislike that you have so many doubts and uncertainties about yourself."
Rao Jie was taken aback; Wu Rong's words felt like an invisible hand gripping her racing heart, gradually calming her down.
