4558 The Other Side 527
"You're obviously trying to keep me in suspense!"
"Yes you can say that. Catch me if you can, if you're so capable."
The boy ran far away at once. Little Yichen found himself giving chase, but he saw a flash of white light at the end growing larger and larger.
Youyou's figure gradually disappeared into the white light.
Little Yichen ran after it into the depths of the white light and felt himself being enveloped by a brilliant glow. His body gradually rose into the air, as if he was floating in the depths of an invisible sea. Then, he felt as if an unseen hand was pulling his ankle and he could feel himself sinking.
Little Yichen started to kick hard, trying to kick the restraints off his ankles. However, that hand refused to let go.
Little Yichen paddled with both hands, trying to float toward the "sea surface". However, no matter what he did, he could not break free from that hand. He gradually sank deeper and deeper.
"Let go!" He kicked with even more force.
Finally, the hand loosened, and Little Yichen took the opportunity to swim towards the surface. He looked up and felt his vision turning white. Immediately after, he felt as if his soul was being drawn up by a great suction force.
Beep…
Sizzle…
THUD!
His body landed hard on the bed, and his eyes snapped open. His breathing mask was covered with a thick layer of vapor.
The doctor was holding a defibrillator. When he saw the boy with his eyes open, he said in surprise, "What's his blood pressure? What's his heart rate?!"
"His heart rate is gradually stabilizing, and his blood pressure is slowly decreasing…"
The doctor widened Yichen's eyes and looked at his pupils before finally exhaling.
"Little fellow, you gave us all a fright!"
"Don't play such tricks in the future!"
"It's a miracle that you've woken up!"
"He's loitered at the gates of hell a few times. If they don't accept him, he can only come back. Haha!"
The boy's life was finally out of danger, and the atmosphere in the operating theater gradually relaxed.
"Don't scare us like this next time! You know, you're the little star of our quarantine zone. We wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you." One of the nurses who was terribly fond of the boy came over and gently tugged at his hand.
"That's right. Little Yichen, promise us, okay? When the vaccine becomes available, you'll be able to leave this place safely."
Little Yichen was already very weak. He had broken away from Death's grip, using the last ounce of strength he had. At this point, he could only nod lightly. He did not even have the strength to open his mouth to speak.
Outside the operating theater, the operating lights finally went out.
Youyou's heart skipped a beat when he saw the lights go out.
Yun Shishi tightened her grip on Mu Yazhe's arm in a moment of nervousness, almost pinching him. Even though it hurt, he did not say anything and only focused on calming her down.
"Don't be so nervous, Shishi."
"The lights have gone out. Where's Little Yichen?!" She was terrified that when the doors opened, all she would see would be a trolley bed with a white sheet draped over it.
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Mu Yazhe did not know what to expect, but the most important thing now was to calm her down.
"I'm fine… Don't worry about me." She even tried to comfort him.
The doors finally swung open.
Yun Shishi eagerly walked towards the entrance. She saw a group of doctors and nurses slowly wheeling a trolley bed towards her…
