Yu Xiangan felt like she was struggling in a dream. It was pitch black around her and something was covering her body. She wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn't. It felt like a mountain was pressing down on her thin eyelids.

It was very quiet around her, or rather too quiet, so quiet that it made her feel a little panicked.

Is this a nightmare?

Why haven’t you woken up yet?

Yu Xiangan wanted to see what was wrong with her. Yes, what was wrong with her?

She tried hard to recall, oh, she remembered, she and Lin Chuanbai were old, had lived enough, and should be dead.

But she is dead, why does she still have thoughts now?

Is this death?

I was alone in the darkness, with nothing in sight, as if I was floating in the void of the universe.

No...it seems like there's something else, what is it?

Yu Xiangan listened carefully. The voice was familiar yet strange. What was that voice?

She was shocked and thought that it would be better if there was not just nothingness.

In the hospital, Zhang Junli stood excitedly in front of the bed, watching the doctor examine her little daughter. Her daughter had been in a vegetative state for more than a year. She did not wake up at first, and the doctor said that the chances of her waking up again were very small, which could be called a miracle. But no matter how miraculous it was, Zhang Junli was unwilling to give up.

The human brain is so amazing. Maybe my daughter just didn't react at the time. If she takes good care of herself after a period of time, she will be fine.

She won't give up.

The existence of the word "miracle" means that it has happened. She has checked other cases and found that there are other vegetative patients who woke up after years or even decades of coma. Although the probability is very small, who can say that her daughter will not be the next miracle.

She didn't have to worry about the cost of caring for the vegetative patient, as their family could afford it and they didn't have to pay for it because the little girl being cared for by her youngest daughter and another kind-hearted young man had a wealthy family. They expressed very earnestly that it was their responsibility to pay the medical expenses, and that no matter how the patient was treated, as long as the patient could be cured, they would pay for it no matter how much it cost.

That commercial building belongs to someone else and it's in a busy area. Thanks to these two people, otherwise their child is so young and would probably be killed on the spot if the heavy billboard fell.

This comforted Zhang Junli that her daughter had done a good deed and at least the person she saved was not an ungrateful person.

They saw the whole incident from the surveillance video. The little girl was playing with toys at the door of her store, and the billboard above it suddenly loosened and fell down. At this critical moment, two people rushed over to protect her, but they did not leave in time and were hit on the head by the heavy billboard. The little girl was just frightened, but the two young men lost consciousness and were in critical condition several times. After the doctor's difficult rescue, their vital signs stabilized.

But their consciousness has not yet been awakened. Now the two of them are in the same ward, with a curtain separating the two spaces. Their daughter is on the right and the other young man is on the left.

After talking unconsciously for such a long time on the hospital bed, they both lost weight.

Zhang Junli could not hide her excitement as she watched her thin daughter being examined by the doctor.

Just now, when she was helping her daughter wash her face, she noticed some of her daughter's reactions. Her eyes moved! Her brows wrinkled, and her hands twitched unconsciously!

She immediately went to tell the doctor.

Eyeballs rolling occasionally happens, but frowning is not common. When both appear together, there seems to be some struggle on her face. Does this mean that my daughter is struggling to wake up? !

She was nervous and expectant.

The doctor checked and said: "This is a good sign. Any reaction is a good thing. Observe carefully during this period."

He told the nurse: "Notify me immediately if anything happens."

Zhang Junli almost cried for joy.

Then he went to check on the guy next door, and now he looked the same as before, unresponsive to external stimuli, as if he was asleep.

Zhang Junli told everyone the good news. After get off work, Yu Xiangan’s elder brother, sister-in-law, elder sister and father all came over.

Take turns talking to Yu Xiangan at the side.

Yu Jiaofang stood beside the bed and kept mumbling, "Xiao An, why are you still lying there? Daddy doesn't object to you opening your restaurant now, but if you don't want to do it, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. It was you who gave up. Did you hear me? Wake up and tell me."

The eldest brother Yu Chaoyang said, "Little sister, don't sleep anymore. You've slept enough. Haven't you always loved beauty? I tell you, you've become much uglier now. If you don't wake up, you'll be even uglier. Get well soon and eat more delicious food to make up for it."

The eldest sister Yu Yingxia also said, "Little sister, let me tell you, your sister has a boyfriend, did you know? You said that if I have a boyfriend, you must check it out, how can you go back on your word?"

…

After they finished talking, they went over to say a few words to the young man on the hospital bed.

This is a poor guy who has no relatives. In the hospital, the nurses are the only ones who talk to him.

They are also kind-hearted people. Kind-hearted people should not go unrewarded, so they will watch everything together.

There are caregivers, but they are paid to do their jobs, so sometimes they are not that careful.

Unfortunately, after all they talked, the person on the bed still did not respond.

Yu Yingxia was a little disappointed: "Why is it that after we have told my little sister so much, she still has no reaction? Mom, is what you saw an illusion?"

Zhang Junli slapped her hard: "Pah, pah, pah, what unlucky words are you talking about? How could I have seen it wrong? I think your sister is tired. If we talk to her more, she will definitely wake up."

The eldest sister-in-law had been looking at Yu Xiangan, and when she saw her eyelids trembling, she immediately exclaimed, "Look!"

Lying on the hospital bed, Yu Xiangan, with a pale face, rolled his eyes and seemed to want to open his eyelids, but he never did.

Yu Xiangan was awakened in the darkness. She seemed to hear some noises, but she couldn't hear them clearly because they were too soft. What were they saying?

Yu Xiangan tried hard to hear clearly what they were saying, but it was impossible. It was as if there was someone in a separate room, speaking in a whisper, and the soft voice would be ignored if one was not careful.

Can the voice be louder? Before she could hear it clearly, the voice disappeared. Yu Xiangan was disappointed. Would these voices appear again?

Everyone was surprised by Yu Xiangan's reaction and agreed to come and talk to her every day.

For Yu Xiangan, after a while, the sound appeared again. Yu Xiangan listened carefully and the sound seemed to be louder now. Although she still couldn't hear it clearly, she felt more at ease now. If these sounds would appear again, it meant that even if she couldn't hear it clearly now, the sound would be clearer next time, and she would be able to hear clearly what they were saying sooner or later.

Yu Xiangan tried hard to convince himself not to be anxious. It was really terrible to have someone talking to you, but the signal was disordered and you could only hear a lot of noise and couldn't hear anything clearly.

In the darkness, Yu Xiangan had no concept of time.

I don’t know how much time passed, sometimes she seemed to be “sleeping” and sometimes she would wake up and hear some noise.

It felt like a long time had passed, and the voices were getting louder and louder. Yu Xiangan could now hear individual words, such as "sister", "daughter", "wake up soon" and so on.

Because these words appear most frequently.

These words put together made her heart tremble.

In the ward, Zhang Junli now stays there every day waiting for a miracle to happen. Her daughter's reaction to the outside world is getting stronger and stronger, especially when they are talking. Her reaction to the outside world is becoming more and more obvious. The doctor also expressed optimism about the current situation.

She came to the ward today and talked to her daughter as usual, "Someone went to ask when the restaurant you opened would open. Your lease was signed for a year and a half, but the store is still there. You'd better wake up quickly, otherwise when the lease expires, your father and I will not renew the lease..."

We also talked about Lin Chuanbai who was in the next bed.

"The doctor checked the boy yesterday, and he's getting better. He's just like you, blessed with a long life. Wake up soon. You guys don't think it's fun to lie in bed, right..."

As they were talking, someone came. It was a woman with flaxen wavy hair, with a little girl. This little girl was the child that Yu Xiangan and Lin Chuanbai rescued.

Zhou Zhou came with a fruit basket and two bouquets of flowers, which he placed at the head of the bed to freshen the air.

Seeing them, Zhang Junli showed a complicated smile on her face.

As a mother, she would of course be angry when her daughter became a vegetable while lying in bed, unable to perceive the outside world. But what could she do?

It was the daughter who took the initiative to save people. She hoped that her daughter would be a good person, but that was without involving her daughter's own safety. In the final analysis, she was a selfish mother.

If she could do it again, she would not let her daughter do such a dangerous thing.

The little girl called out sweetly: "Sisters and brothers, please wake up soon. Niuniu hasn't thanked you in person yet. Niuniu is very grateful to you. Thank you for saving Niuniu."

Zhang Junli couldn't help but feel a tear in her eye when she heard the child's babyish voice.

Yu Xiangan heard this sentence clearly.

What she looks forward to most now is hearing voices. She can't help but feel happy every day when she hears them talking.

She now has an understanding of her situation.

She never expected that she could still hear the voices of her parents. They were telling her to wake up quickly. Yu Xiangan was also trying hard. She was now in a vegetative state. She wanted to open her eyes and look at them with a smile.

For them, she had been sleeping in her bed for more than a year, and for her, she had not seen them for decades.

She wanted to smile and say to them: I'm back.

So don't be sad.

In addition, Yu Xiangan also learned about Lin Chuanbai's information from them. He was next door, blocked by a curtain. He was in the same condition as him, also a vegetative state, and his reaction during this period was the same as hers, becoming more and more optimistic.

This made her feel relieved, it seemed that they were back together again.

Listening to the little girl's tender voice, Yu Xiangan replied to her in his heart: "Hello, I heard your thanks, please be careful when playing next time."

Lin Chuanbai also heard the little girl's voice, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his hands seemed to be exerting force.

But after trying hard, he still couldn't lift his hand up because he had used up all his strength.

When he first regained consciousness, he felt himself being wrapped by something. He wondered where he was and if this was death.

He wanted to enter his own space, but couldn't. He shouted, but there was no response. He was still in this empty darkness, and nothing had changed.

His medicine garden space should be bound to him. Now he can't enter it. One possibility is that the space has disappeared, and the second possibility is that he is dead.

Lin Chuanbai is more inclined to the second possibility - he is dead.

The question is, how can you think after you’re dead?

Are there really ghosts?

Then why didn’t the Black and White Impermanence take him back to the underworld?

If he was not dead, then what about the others? Where were his sons and daughters?

He slowly heard his own heartbeat.

“Plop, plop—”

Like the frequency of hibernation.

Strange, really strange, what kind of condition is he in now?

Slowly, he heard other sounds besides his heartbeat. He waited patiently, and then he heard clearly what others were saying.

It was a voice he had no impression of.

If I'm not mistaken, I'm the "young man" they are talking about, and the "Xiao An" they often talk about is also the person he is most familiar with.

They are back.

These people are her family.

When Lin Chuanbai thought of this, he felt that he and Xiang An might have saved humanity in some life.

Otherwise, how could such a good thing happen a second time?

But he was also a little worried. He was back, but what about Xiang An?

When she woke up, was she the original her in her twenties, or was she the one who had gone to a parallel time and space with him and spent decades there?

When Yu Xiangan was finally able to open her eyes, more than ten days had passed since Zhou Zhou and her mother and daughter came. At that time, Zhang Junli was helping her cut her nails and talking to her: "Your nails have grown longer. Look at your hands. They are so much whiter than before. You will definitely be happy if you see your skin color when you wake up. Girls look better with whiter skin, but mom still thinks that a healthy color looks better. A tanned bronze color is healthier. Too white looks unhealthy. When you get better, go outside and get some sun..."

"Mom, I will." She spoke word by word in a whisper. At that moment, Zhang Junli's hand, which was trimming her nails, trembled. She looked up at her daughter in astonishment. Seeing her daughter's lips curled up, she couldn't help but touch them. Then, tears as big as roller balls fell down. She wiped them away roughly with her hands and shouted at the top of her voice, "Help, help! My daughter is awake!"

She was a surgeon herself, but she had forgotten at this moment that she could just ring the bell and call someone over.

Her shout attracted the doctors to gather around her and do some tests. It is a miracle for every vegetative patient to wake up after being in a vegetative state. The longer the time, the lower the chance of waking up. She had been lying in bed for more than a year, which is not a short time, so it can be considered a small miracle.

She has difficulty speaking now, and when the doctor asks her, she uses blinks to indicate yes or no.

Zhang Junli was standing on the periphery. She was also a doctor, but a surgeon. This was not her field, and she couldn't disturb them.

Yu Xiangan looked at her through the doctor and smiled with her eyes curved. Not long after, her eyelids began to droop. The doctor noticed it and told her to go to sleep first.

"You just woke up and are still very weak. Go to sleep if you want. Don't force yourself. Don't worry, your condition is very optimistic. Don't put any psychological pressure on yourself."

Not long after, Yu Xiangan fell into a deep sleep again, but Zhang Junli's mood was completely different from before.

She felt like she was on a roller coaster!

Flying through the clouds, seeing the magnificent mountains and rivers, my heart is filled with infinite tenderness.

Her little daughter really woke up!

Everyone went out of the ward to talk so as not to disturb Yu Xiangan's sleep. As soon as they left, Zhang Junli clasped her hands together. She originally did not believe in gods and Buddhas, but now she worshipped all gods and Buddhas, "Amitabha, Guanyin, God, thank you for your blessings, thank you, thank you!"

Her daughter finally woke up!

At this time she reacted and immediately called Yu Jiaofang and others.

Yu Jiaofang came over immediately after receiving the call. Looking at his little daughter sleeping in bed, Yu Jiaofang couldn't help but wipe his red eyes, patted Zhang Junli on the back, and comforted her, "Xiao An is awake now, and the doctor said it's fine. Just take care of it. Once it's well, she'll be a brave man again."

Although it was a pity that he couldn't see his daughter wake up and interact with him with his own eyes, but his daughter would wake up after a nap, and he would be able to see it sooner or later just by waiting here.

Yu Chaoyang looked at his sister's thin appearance and took a deep breath: "It's good that she woke up, it's good that she woke up."

…

Lin Chuanbai opened his eyes the day after Yu Xiangan woke up. He looked at the white ceiling, smelled the smell of disinfectant, and turned his head to look at the bed.

The curtains had been removed when Yu Xiangan woke up, so he tried hard to turn his head, but he couldn't move and his body was stiff.

Zhang Junli, who was talking to her daughter opposite him, saw it and cried out, "Ouch!" This time she remembered and rang the bell to call the doctor over.

"The guy next door is awake too!"

Yu Xiangan slowly turned his head and looked at him. Their eyes met, and his eyebrows curved.

Great, it’s him/her!

The two people's eyes were very compatible, and they separated immediately after a touch.

At first they couldn't show their familiarity, they were still strangers and had no reason to get to know each other.

The two of them woke up one after another, and many people came to watch.

This floor is full of vegetative patients who have lost consciousness for various reasons. Some of them have given up, while others, like Zhang Junli and others, are still persisting.

They wanted to ask for blessings, hoping that their families could wake up like them.

Zhou Zhou also came with his daughter Niuniu. Niuniu first took Yu Xiangan's hand and said, "Sister, Niuniu heard from mom that you woke up. You and your brother are awake. Niuniu has something to tell you. Niuniu is very grateful to you. I will always remember it in the future!"

Zhou Zhou also expressed his gratitude solemnly.

Yu Xiangan shook his head: "That was a subconscious reaction. I would do the same if it were someone else."

After they left, Zhang Junli said with emotion: "Fortunately, the people you saved had a conscience. When you were in trouble, they called an ambulance immediately and performed surgery on you without wasting time. Over the past year or so, they have spent a lot of money."

Yu Xiangan smiled and said nothing.

She now understands more. Her mother was originally a surgeon and was very busy on weekdays, but now she has taken the initiative to transfer to a less busy department so that she can have more time to take care of her.

My mother really likes her job. Now she has been transferred and her job content has changed.

Dad is still running the Chinese medicine clinic and is also studying, thinking that if he can learn more, he will understand more and perhaps be able to help her.

There are also older brothers and sisters who are all in the medical system. Yu Xiangan knows how busy this industry is, but after such a long time, they still come to see her every week.

Yu Xiangan used all his self-control to avoid crying uncontrollably.

The advantage of getting older and experiencing more things is that you are better able to manage your emotions.

"Mom, I've been lying in bed for so long and missed a lot. Tell me, what happened?"

Zhang Junli's eyes softened. "Okay, I'll tell you what you want to hear slowly. Let me tell you about your sister first. Her boyfriend is somewhat related to you. She asked her classmates, and her classmates recommended him. After a while, they became familiar with each other..."

Yu Xiangan gave Lin Chuanbai, who was also listening nearby, a smiling look.

This is something he will have to deal with sooner or later. The more he understands about it now, the easier it will be to get through it in the future.

The two of them are now adapting to their bodies little by little. At first they couldn't walk, but slowly, they started from scratch like babies.

Fortunately, they didn't lie there for too long.

Those who really stayed in bed for a long time had their muscles atrophied.

Yu Xiangan has been in a good mood since she woke up. Even though she still has to learn to walk and slowly adapt to her body, which is a bit painful, but she is back!

She saw her father, mother, older brother and older sister again!

And it didn't take too long before she returned to her youthful twenties.

Young people's bodies are full of energy. As she felt her body recovering little by little, she felt the ease of young people.

I have experienced the feeling of being old, and in comparison, my body feels light and fluttery.

The same goes for Lin Chuanbai. The two of them go in and out together. Now they are familiar to Zhang Junli and the others.

When we were rehabilitating together, we often encouraged each other and talked to each other. It was not surprising. We shared hardships together. How many people have such an experience in their lifetime?

Lin Chuanbai and Yu Xiangan communicated with each other when no one was around and learned another point that made them very happy. Yu Xiangan's game farm and Lin Chuanbai's medicine garden space were both back with them.

They had dealt with some of the things in the space before, but they also added some things, thinking that if they had other adventures, the things in the space would come in handy.

There are many things in Yu Xiangan's warehouse, including food, water, clothes, seeds, medicines, etc. These things are used to prevent them from appearing in a world with scarce materials and the end of the world. Preparations are also made for the situation in a peaceful world, such as money, including RMB, US dollars, euros, etc., amounting to millions, as well as calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, and more hard currencies such as gold bars and gems.

Those banknotes cannot be used because there may be problems with the numbers, and then they will become counterfeit money, but they can use the gold, silver and gems.

Just go out of town and find a reason to sell it.

It's easy for them.

Because the two of them were too familiar with each other, Zhang Junli sometimes felt a little strange.

They didn't talk much, but when they did, they would finish their sentences halfway through and she would be waiting for the second half, but it would be gone?!

She didn't understand, but the two of them did, and the words were finished.

Is this the generation gap between her and young people?

She didn't act like this when communicating with her eldest son and daughter.

Could it be that these two people had other interactions without her knowing?

Yu Yingxia was more sensitive, so she secretly pulled her aside and asked, "Are you attracted to that boy?"

Her words were more of a joke, but her sister didn't feel embarrassed at all and nodded seriously, "Yes, sister, you figured it out."

Yu Yingxia: ???

Isn't this a bit too hasty?

"How long have you known him? Do you know him? Do you know his character?"

Yu Xiangan's inner thoughts: I know him so well, we have been together for a long time, of course I know him, of course. Now she just smiled, with a well-behaved smile on her face: "Sister, do you believe in love at first sight? In fact, I had a good impression of him the first time we met, and I want to get to know him better, so that I can naturally know him. You know a lot of people, can you help me check and observe his character?"

Yu Yingxia: “…”

There is nothing wrong with helping your sister keep an eye on things, but why do I always feel like my sister hasn't explained the whole situation?

The rehabilitation results were successful.

Some vegetative patients have other sequelae after waking up, such as slow reaction, uncoordinated movements of hands and feet, etc., but these two do not have these sequelae.

When they were discharged from the hospital, the attending physician also said that their situation was rare.

On the day of discharge, Zhang Junli specially prepared fire pan and pomelo leaves to ward off bad luck. The young man next door had no family, so she prepared some for him as well.

Yu Xiangan felt sad after seeing this.

My mother never did these things before. She was a staunch materialist.

Yu Xiangan obediently followed the instructions and then went to a nearby hotel for the celebration banquet.

Zhang Junli also invited the guy next door.

We shared hardships and recovered together, this is a fate beyond words.

After dinner, everyone went back to their own homes. Yu Xiangan was now her parents' treasure and they didn't let her do any work. Even though they knew she was fine now, Yu Xiangan was not in a hurry and stayed at home to comfort her parents.

She stayed at home for nearly two months, and her parents stopped calling her continuously only when she went out.

At this time, Lin Chuanbai had already gone out of town to sell some things and had some cash in his hands.

What he needs to do most now is to buy the house first, otherwise he will be embarrassed to go to someone's house and ask them to hand over their daughter to him.

For Zhang Junli and Yu Jiaofang, their current life is a long-lost tranquility.

The younger daughter recovered and was discharged from the hospital. She rested at home for a while and started running her own restaurant again. They no longer have to worry about their eldest son, and the eldest daughter and her boyfriend are in a stable relationship. In fact, they are all in a couple, except for the younger daughter.

As a result, the youngest daughter brought the young man who was "a fellow wanderer" to the house...

Yu Jiaofang: “…”

How could this happen so suddenly? The last remaining cabbage in his house was eaten by a pig.

Zhang Junli's eyes changed when she looked at Lin Chuanbai. It seemed that what she felt was wrong before was true. The two of them must have fallen in love with each other at that time. She still had a smile on her face, but in the blink of an eye she started to inquire about Lin Chuanbai's background in a roundabout way.

If he becomes her son-in-law, she must have an understanding of his situation.

Everyone knows that this person has no relatives, but what about others besides his relatives?

The result is OK.

He is an alumnus of my daughter's. He just bought a house in a newly opened community across the street and paid the down payment. Although he is still paying off the mortgage, he has money in the stock market and has no pressure to repay the loan. He is also planning to pursue a master's degree, which will not delay him from getting married and having children.

Reading is a good thing.

Brother Yu Xiangan and sister have one PhD and one master's degree. There's nothing they can do about it. Among those who study medicine, few have low academic qualifications.

They originally wanted Yu Xiangan to go to graduate school as well, but she didn't want to.

Now that their future son-in-law wants to pursue a master's degree, they can only support him.

Even though Lin Chuanbai had made preparations before arriving at the door, he still broke out in sweat from the fancy interrogation.

It's been so long since some of the details happened that he really can't remember them.

Yu Xiangan watched from the side, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps at any time. If there was anything from a long time ago that he couldn't remember, he would change the subject.

When Lin Chuanbai passed the test, he was greeted with a look that said "the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she is."

Yu Jiaofang remained silent.

What else could he say? Girls should not be kept at home when they grow up. Everyone knows that he is trying to change the subject. He just thinks that the young man has good character and his family is not rich enough to let his daughter suffer. So he is just pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Lin Chuanbai secretly let out a breath, looked at Yu Xiangan, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Unexpectedly, this old couple could once again have a young son-in-law come to visit them.

After passing their parents' test, the two of them were often together. In the eyes of their parents, this was a good relationship between young people.

Lin Chuanbai is reading and reviewing a book.

His current level is not only enough to supervise graduate students, but his previous resume is very clear. How did he get to this level? If you want to say how talented he is, you have not seen how talented he is for such a long time, so there must be a reasonable reason.

It is difficult for him to cross majors now, but the test results will be the most authentic. When he goes to school, attends classes, and receives guidance from teachers, his knowledge will no longer be outstanding.

Yu Xiangan reopened his private restaurant while wandering around the stock market, which is a mysterious place.

Here, knowledgeable agents can make a lot of money, but newcomers also have this opportunity.

On one hand, things get richer, on the other hand, they fall apart.

She makes money here, and when people know about it they just say she is lucky and don't think anything else.

Many parallel universes may not match each other, but the general trends are the same.

She has experienced many bull market stock markets.

There was an opportunity for a stock market crash recently, and she used the millions that Lin Chuanbai earned from selling gems in other places as capital for short selling.

Something was originally worth 100, and she signed a contract with someone to sell it for a certain amount on a certain date. During that period of time, the value dropped sharply from 100 to 1, so she could buy it at this price, complete the contract, and make 99.

This is just an example. She didn’t make that much money, but it also increased her capital by more than twenty times.

Yu Xiangan did not stop with the money and continued to look for opportunities to accumulate capital. It seems a lot now, but in the eyes of some people, it is just a few luxury cars and a few gambling games.

Money is not everything, but without money, nothing can be done. They still have a long life ahead of them...
