4390 The Other Side 359

Gong Jie fell silent at that.

Alice said, "There's an old saying in Z Nation that says, 'there's always a way'. Don't rush into anything. Take it one step at a time. Even the most meticulous plan can't cover you perfectly."

"I understand."

Gong Jie stood up. "Have an early night!"

.........

In the room, Youyou lay in bed, his pupils dilated. As if he'd repeatedly adjusted his mental state, he shut his eyes and tried to enter the dream. He was almost asleep when someone knocked on the door.

He suddenly felt anxious. "Who's there!?"

Outside, Lisa's cautious voice said, "It's me, Youyou. Are you resting?"

"Go away! Leave me alone." Surprisingly, the boy lost his temper.

Initially, he had been on the verge of falling asleep. And now, he was strangely awake. He was almost forcing himself to fall asleep. Being disturbed at the critical moment, he lost his temper.

Lisa hadn't expected the boy to shout at her. One had to know that Youyou was notoriously docile, unlike Gong Fan, who was always cold. Such a gentle person had actually lost his temper at her. Although she felt aggrieved, she didn't say anything and quietly left.

After Lisa left, the boy closed his eyes again, but sleep would not come. So he got up, went outside, and started rummaging through the drawers. He finally found the sedative in the medicine box. Alice had placed this here. Moreover, the side effects were minute. If he really couldn't sleep, he could take this medicine.

The boy forced the pill down and went back to bed. About half an hour later, the medicinal properties finally took gradual effect. His eyelids started to fall with heaviness.

Entering the dream again, the boy awoke in a forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. He widened his eyes in confusion and saw Gong Fan leaning against the tree. He hadn't had the chance to have his wound bandaged and it was still oozing blood.

Youyou regained his composure and crawled nervously over to him. "Does the wound still hurt?" he asked worriedly.

Gong Fan said indifferently, "As long as I'm not dead."

"…"

"Even if I'm injured in this world, in the real world, the body is still fine, isn't it?"

It seemed so.

Youyou smiled at that. "Does that hurt then? Do you feel any pain?"

Gong Fan was stunned and nodded. "Yes of course."

"Is it the same as being injured in real life?"

"Yes. The wound feels real. The pain feels real, too." Gong Fan smiled as he spoke.

Youyou looked around. "Where are we now?"

"I don't know, but it's a long way from the manor."

Pursing his lips, Youyou made his decision. "I've decided."
