Yan Sijue came downstairs to clean up the mess.
He found the small vial by the dining table, evidently dropped when Mu Yiliang fell to the ground.
She didn't know that the vial had already been swapped by him.
Yan Sijue had deliberately staged his own death to see how she would react if he truly died.
The result brought him both relief and heartache.
She was in pain, and amidst the pain, she began to question the reasons for her actions, triggering another bout of headache.
Remembering her pale face and furrowed brows, Yan Sijue could fully imagine how intense that pain must be.
So, if she really wanted to overcome the power of hypnosis, who knows how many more times she'd have to endure such pain.

Mu Yiliang slept for three hours.
She got up and came downstairs to find that Lan Yueru had already returned with Xiaoze, and there were several baskets of fruit on the table, filled with various kinds of fruit, mostly strawberries.
