Chapter 39 Space Upgrade
Gu Yihan's consciousness was trapped in the space at this moment. Every time she tried to break free of the space, her consciousness felt as if it were being cut by a knife.
She was scorched by the intense heat of the space with nowhere to hide. The supplies stored in the space had no effect whatsoever; only her consciousness was affected.
Gu Yihan could only hide at the edge of the space, feeling the fluctuating temperature.
The space was filled with alternating hot and cold temperatures, and her consciousness could not rest. She could only watch helplessly as the temperature fluctuated in the misty center.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but the misty space seemed to be twisted and torn apart, and the space shook so much that even her consciousness could not stand steadily.
Gu Yihan saw a sapling emerge from the misty ground. This sapling seemed to have experienced all four seasons, quickly blossoming and bearing fruit.
Gu Yihan was so shocked by this phenomenon that she covered her mouth with her hand until the space stabilized and stopped shaking.
Gu Yihan circled the tree several times. There were only 10 bright red fruits on the tree. Were these edible?
There was a pitifully small puddle under the tree roots, probably less than a bowl of water. Was this a space upgrade?
So she was trapped in the space just so she could see it level up?
After trying to perceive the space, I was finally able to control my consciousness.
Gu Yihan slowly opened her eyes and was startled by the enlarged face in front of her.
She instinctively slapped her hand across the face of this person who, while not bad-looking, was clearly trying to harass her.
"Smack."
Gu Yihan immediately propped herself up with her hands and sat up. Her voice was hoarse from not speaking for a long time. She said, "You scoundrel."
She was about to slap him again when his large hand grabbed her wrist.
Gu Yihan tried her best to pull her arm away, but couldn't budge it.
She could only glare at the man holding her wrist, intending to hit this scoundrel with her other hand.
Lu Huailin touched the slapped face with the tip of his tongue and said, "You misunderstood. I'm not that blind." After saying that, he glanced at Gu Yihan's not-yet-fully-developed chest.
Gu Yihan followed his gaze to her chest, and felt so angry that her vision went black.
When Shen Yujie saw Lu Huailin being beaten by the female colleague in the hospital bed, he was so shocked that his mouth dropped open. Then he said with schadenfreude:
"Miss, you've misunderstood. He's just trying to take your temperature. He's the one who rescued you and brought you to the military hospital."
Gu Yihan then noticed Shen Yujie, who was standing to the side in a white coat, and looked around to realize that she was in a hospital.
Turning to look at the man she had hit, she realized she had misunderstood, then pretended nothing had happened and said, "Let go. Your arm is all swollen from your grip, can't you see?"
As long as you're not embarrassed, it's others who will feel awkward.
Lu Huailin then slowly released Gu Yihan's hand, put his arm behind his back, and thought about how the skin he had just touched was as delicate and smooth as silk.
Shen Yujie couldn't hold back any longer after hearing Gu Yihan's words. He walked to the door and burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Lu Huailin, you've finally met your match."
She wasn't worried at all about being overheard by the two people in the ward.
After calming himself down outside, Shen Yujie entered the ward and saw the two of them staring at each other without saying a word.
Gu Yihan was embarrassed to say it, after all, she had just misunderstood the other person.
The army was full of men, and Lu Huailin rarely interacted with women, so he didn't know what to say.
When Gu Yihan saw Shen Yujie enter, she broke the silence by saying, "Doctor, can I be discharged now?"
When Shen Yujie saw that the woman was ignoring Lu Huailin, he laughed and said, "Now that you're awake, you can be discharged. You've been unconscious for three days and three nights."
Gu Yihan exclaimed in surprise, "Three days and three nights?" After saying that, she threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and almost fell because she lost her balance. Lu Huailin quickly caught her arm.
Gu Yihan had no choice but to sit on the bed again with Lu Huailin's help.
Seeing this, Shen Yujie quickly said, "You haven't eaten for a long time. If you suddenly get up now, your brain won't have enough energy, and you'll feel dizzy and weak."
Gu Yihan, her face pale, said, "Then can you help me call the police?"
At this moment, Lu Huailin said expressionlessly, "Don't worry, those children have been rescued."
Gu Yihan then took a closer look at the man standing in front of her. He was tall, with handsome features that exuded a cold and stern air, and sharp eyes.
"Were you one of the people in the jeep that day?"
She was in a daze that day and could only grab the other person on instinct, without looking at their face.
Lu Huailin said in a deep voice, "Yes."
Ignoring the other party's cold attitude, she anxiously asked, "How many human traffickers have you arrested?"
When Lu Huailin heard her say that, he asked in return, "Do you know how many people there are?"
Gu Yihan's eyes reddened with anger, and she said through gritted teeth, "There are two people watching us, one named Gangzi and the other named Liang Ge. They said their boss would meet up with them that afternoon."
Lu Huailin's face turned cold upon hearing this: "Are you sure you didn't hear wrong? There's someone to contact you?"
Gu Yihan looked into the other person's eyes and said with certainty, "Yes, they were going to sell me to the other side of the sea. I overheard it."
In fact, Gu Yihan had another suspicion in her heart: she felt that she had been betrayed by someone she knew. This group of people had kidnapped children, and she was the only exception, which was too abnormal.
Lu Huailin said to Shen Yujie, "I'm going to your office to make a phone call." Then he left the ward briskly.
Shen Yujie spoke up for his friend, saying, "Don't let his cold, deadpan expression fool you; he's incredibly kind. He was so nervous when he brought you to me."
Gu Yihan smiled at the other person and said, "My name is Gu Yihan. What's your name, doctor? How much will my hospitalization cost?"
Shen Yujie wasn't annoyed by her interruption. He smiled and said, "My name is Shen Yujie. Lu Huailin paid for it. It was 29 yuan. You stayed in a single room, so it was more expensive."
Gu Yihan subconsciously wanted to take out money from her spatial storage, but then she suddenly remembered that her clothes were torn from running down the mountain.
She quickly checked her clothes; it was a floral dress. She realized that the dress she was wearing wasn't hers.
Shen Yujie explained as he watched Gu Yihan's actions, "This was bought by Lu Huailin through his wife in the military region. The nurse changed it for you."
Gu Yihan said shyly, "Comrade Shen, thank you very much and Lu Huailin. Could you please write down his contact information for me? I will transfer the money to him when I get back."
Shen Yujie didn't think much of it and simply wrote down Lu Huailin's contact information on a scrap of paper from the medical record and handed it to her.
Gu Yihan took the address and looked at it: "Kuncheng Military Region? This is Kuncheng?"
Then Gu Yihan asked shyly, "How long does it take from Kuncheng to Jinyang City? How do I get there by public transport?"
She genuinely had no idea that the human traffickers had transported her to Kunming overnight. She was unfamiliar with the route, and it seemed she didn't have any money on the surface.
"It only takes three hours to get to Jinyang City from Kuncheng by train station," Lu Huailin's voice came from the doorway.
Then he took out two large black coins and some grain coupons from his pocket and handed them to her, saying, "Take these and use them first."
Gu Yihan naturally took the money from his hand and said, "Thank you. I admire soldiers the most. Soldiers are always so reliable and so lovable."
And she looked at Lu Huailin earnestly and said, "Don't worry, I'll wire you the money when I get back."
Shen Yujie's lips twitched involuntarily when he heard this woman use the word "cute." A soldier is cute?
What he didn't know was that Gu Yihan genuinely thought that way; she wasn't saying it on purpose.
Lu Huailin blushed at what the girl said, but because he trained frequently, it wasn't noticeable on his skin.
