Yang Feiguang proved useful at a crucial moment. He asked Ye Qingyan, "Did she say anything today? You're her deskmate, so you should know best."

"No, she was just listless all morning, I don't know what's wrong with her." Ye Qingyan stomped her foot in regret: "I should have stopped her when she was about to leave."

She said she would take good care of Zhen Tian, ​​but she didn't do anything about it.

"I think we should notify Zhen Tian's brother first," Shao Junli said. "There's strength in numbers, and her brother probably knows more about the situation than we do."

“Yes, yes, let’s split up. Yuan Yuan and I will go look around in familiar places. You and Brother Yang will go find her brother. Keep in touch by phone.” Ye Qingyan said, then grabbed Yuan Yuan and ran off.

"Let's check out the milk tea shop, the dessert shop, and the bookstore outside," Yuan Yuan said as she ran.

Without hesitation, Shao Junli and the other two headed straight for the senior year section.

However, Ji Yuzhi and Lu Yiran were nowhere to be seen in the class.

"Nobody's here!" Yang Feiguang frowned. "Could they be in the cafeteria? Let's go look for them there."

"Hey, senior." Shao Junli quickly grabbed the only student in Class 1 of Senior Three: "I have something urgent to discuss with Senior Ji Yuzhi. Do you have his contact information?"

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment."

Yang Feiguang breathed a sigh of relief: "You really do have a way."

…………

Zhen Tian stood on the mountain path, looking at the magnificent building in front of her, and her head buzzed.

“It really exists…” Zhen Tian murmured.

The building, a one-to-one replica of the one in the comic, was right in front of her, and the shock almost took her breath away.

The driver, sitting in the car, asked, "Young lady, what are you doing here?"

"Just standing here watching, doing nothing. The girl is quite pretty, but the way she does things is so strange," the driver thought to himself.

Zhen Tian didn't answer him. After forcing herself to accept the fact, she turned and got into the car.

"Let's go back. Let's go to Baiyang Road." Zhen Tian paused for a moment after saying this.

Yes, how come she didn't notice? The street names here are all named after trees and flowers, just like in the comics.

Even though she was already leaning towards this answer, she still wanted to confirm it further.

Zhen Tian took out cash from her pocket. She hadn't expected to run out of the school during class, so she didn't take her phone, and she only had a little over two hundred yuan in her pocket.

Not long after the car entered the city, the fare displayed on the meter was almost more than all the money in her pocket.

Zhen Tian quickly stopped the car: "Driver, let's stop here."

After paying, she asked for directions and walked there step by step.

The rain came in bursts, sometimes heavy, sometimes light.

She didn't care anymore; she was already soaked through. Pedestrians on the street were either hurrying to find shelter from the rain or walking briskly with umbrellas. Only Zhen Tian walked steadily towards her destination.

The sky had darkened.

Zhen Tian had no idea how long she had been walking or how many places she had visited.

But she knew that these places, which she had never seen but appeared in the comics, actually existed here.

"So... I've transmigrated into a book?" After confirming this in her heart, Zhen Tian asked, "Then, Mom and Dad, will you just not disappear...?"

She wasn't afraid of entering a book; she was afraid of losing the people she loved.

Zhen Tian felt her body alternate between cold and hot. As she breathed a sigh of relief, she was overcome with exhaustion and swayed precariously in the rain, almost unable to stand.

Finally, she collapsed in front of a store.

***

After learning of Zhen Tian's disappearance, Ji Yuzhi searched frantically, looking for her in every possible place.

Not long after, the Zhen family once again mobilized as a whole.

Because Ji Yuzhi had previously worked as a translator for the police, at his request, five police cars searched for Zhen Tian on various main roads.

They wished they could turn the entire city of H upside down.

Finally, the police received a call reporting that a middle school student in uniform had collapsed on the roadside and was taken to the hospital.

Upon receiving the message from the police, Ji Yuzhi rushed directly to the affiliated hospital.

After seeing Zhen Tian in the ward, he collapsed against the ward door as if all his strength had been drained.

After Ji Yuzhi took out his phone and called the people he was searching for, he walked step by step toward the hospital bed.

Zhen Tian's face was pale, her breathing was weak, and her small body was so thin that it was almost impossible to see her outline when she lay in the quilt.

He touched Zhen Tian's cheek, and only after feeling a little warmth did his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly settle down.

"A family member? What's your relationship to her?" The doctor walked in, holding the medical record.

"It's her brother." Ji Yuzhi said in a hoarse voice. He was so anxious and angry that his throat felt like it had been cut by a knife the moment he learned that Zhen Tian was missing.

"The patient has suffered a permanent tendon injury in her left leg. Judging from the incision, it appears she was cut by shards of glass, causing significant bleeding. We had already given her a blood transfusion and a tetanus shot before you arrived. We need to closely monitor her for the next two days, as the excessive blood loss could potentially lead to sepsis. The tendon injury means the girl will be unable to engage in strenuous exercise in the future, and she may develop a slight limp. She will also have to give up any dance lessons she may have."

The doctor handed the diagnosis slip to Ji Yuzhi: "If you wake up tonight, press the call button by your bed. Only two people can stay in the ward tonight. If there's nothing else, go pay the bill."

"Doctor, is there any way..." Ji Yuzhi could barely speak. He grabbed the doctor's hand: "Anything will do, even treating or relieving the tendon injury. The only thing Tian Tian has ever persisted in doing all her life is dancing. She..."

Ji Yuzhi's eyes reddened.

The doctor patted his hand understandingly: "I know how sad you are as family members, but if there's any chance of treatment, we doctors wouldn't stand idly by. Her cut area isn't large, but the problem is that she sought medical attention too late. Theoretically, a little girl with such severe injuries would have sought medical attention as soon as possible due to the pain. I heard she was rescued. I don't know what could have made her endure it for so long..."

“She has analgesia, she was born without the ability to feel pain…” Ji Yuzhi answered the doctor’s question, but he couldn’t soothe his own pain.

"Then I understand. If you seek medical attention early, there is a way to save the patient." The doctor sighed. "Your family will have to put in a lot of effort for this kind of illness, but don't be too sad. Pay attention to the patient's condition, and ring the call button immediately if there is a high fever."

"Is there really no other way?" For the first time in his life, Ji Yuzhi's eyes held an almost pleading look.

"I'm sorry. I also hope for a miracle."

The doctor left after speaking.

Ji Yu looked behind and saw the figure still fast asleep, and helplessly lowered his hand.
