Chapter 110 Xie Ning
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Qingyuan led the two teams to run in several more times, and the approach he adopted was much gentler than the first time. At least after the training, everyone had the leisure to drag their tired bodies to have lunch and exchange feelings.
Tomorrow is the day to set off for the copy. The time is set at 7 a.m. and the main means of transportation is by car. Since the destination is remote, in order to save time, you need to go to a specific area and use the teleportation symbol to speed up.
The government returned to its initial calm, and the marks left by the Battle of Zhuolu have gradually disappeared with the cleanup. Except for those who were busy from beginning to end, most people had enough free time to have a short afternoon tea in the afternoon.
Ye Yunhe held the disposable paper cup. The liquid swaying inside exuded a strong tea aroma. It tasted extremely good, so good that the disposable paper cup was not worthy of it, and so good that it didn't seem like something Lu Qingyuan could take out.
After all, this person only drinks beverages such as coffee and fruit tea.
"I got it from Chief Xiaozhe. He has a lot of tea hidden away anyway, so this is not a big deal." Lu Qingyuan gave an affirmative answer, "But I can't get the teacup. I will be blamed until next year."
There were several plates of pastries on the table. They were new styles developed by the cafeteria, and they were brought back to the office for a tea party. Lu Qingyuan picked up one and stuffed it into her mouth, choking on it.
"What a pity." She swallowed the cake and tea hard, and slapped her chest. "Lingyao and the others went back to the dormitory to sleep. Otherwise, we could have played a few games. It would be more fun with more people."
Si Yuan kept nodding while chewing the cakes, with the word "agreement" written all over their faces. Lin Muyu shook the teacup in his hand and just smiled helplessly, thinking about the props he would bring tomorrow.
As a coach, Lu Qingyuan had to work with the team, and the time he spent with the three of them increased significantly in the past few days, almost more than the time he spent with them in the previous few months combined. Therefore, their understanding of Lu Qingyuan was deepened, and some of their previous impressions were gradually overturned.
The other party was full of pure kindness and enthusiasm, and was a trustworthy senior, so he was naturally accepted by the three of them with warmth. Just like now, the excessive training in the morning made the bodies a little tired, so a few of them casually leaned back in the chairs to enjoy tea and snacks, and even if they didn't talk, they felt the atmosphere was comfortable and peaceful.
Of course, apart from training, not nothing happened in these two days. In the calm sea, a wave rose silently, arousing everyone's surprise.
Xie Ning woke up.
In the early hours of yesterday morning, the instrument screen in the ward suddenly moved, the content on the front desk display screen suddenly became strange, and the fluctuations in the mental network began to fluctuate violently. Then the drowsy guard suddenly woke up, and after a brief daze, he dialed the guild's phone number in disbelief.
Lingyun's president came in a hurry just like he did that night. His face was calm as a rock, but his every move could not hide his anxiety.
Under the gazes of the visitors, Xie Ning's expression, which had lasted for almost half a month, finally changed. Her face was pale, her brows were furrowed, her lips and teeth were whispering, opening and closing with hesitation, and even the fingertips on the quilt were curled up in uneasiness.
She seemed to be having a very terrible dream.
On the instrument, the symbol representing the mental network was constantly rising and falling, sometimes high and sometimes low, extremely unstable, causing the heartbeats of others to quicken as well. This is the first change in the past half month. Everyone is looking forward to it, but also afraid of the gap when expectations are not met.
But reality is not playing tricks on me at this moment.
After an unknown amount of time of holding her breath or calling out affectionately, Xie Ning suddenly opened her eyes.
Her nerves were still tense. The sudden awakening made her stare blankly at the white ceiling. The blurred vision made her not know what year it was. Her weak body and intense emotions were tormenting each other. She could only rely on the familiar breath and subconsciously clenched her knuckles.
President Ling Yun called her name softly, and the people around her immediately rushed over, tears streaming down the spot, and frightened Xie Ning awake.
…
The above is the scene described by the medical staff on night shift that day. Its authenticity needs to be verified and should not be fully trusted.
After all, the three protagonists were still wandering in their dreams at that time. The exhaustion after being drained of their energy during the day was enough to make them sleep soundly until dawn.
The message that should have been sent by Lingyun Guild was sent to the group by Lu Qingyuan in broad daylight, even a quarter of an hour faster than Lingyun. Is this the benefit of popularity?
Ye Yunhe held his chin and sighed, unable to help but recall the scene at that time.
——
"How do you feel?" Lin Muyu asked.
After breakfast, the trio followed President Ling Yun’s notice and came to Xie Ning’s ward to visit. The medical staff who were conducting the examination had just packed up their tools and walked away sideways from the door.
Xie Ning was looking out the window absent-mindedly. When she heard the noise, she half-leaned on the headboard of the bed and glanced at the three people.
Even when weak, those eyebrows were still sharp, but their eyes were much softer than in the competition. She still looked somewhat powerless and just nodded in return.
The cabinet next to it was filled with flower bouquets, fresh fruits and other things, it seemed that many people came to visit. The guild member who was originally taking care of Xie Ning was nowhere to be found, and now Xie Ning was the only one in the ward.
Ye Yunhe walked forward, looked at the counter with no space left, and silently put the gifts he brought on the ground.
"Not bad, mentally sound, eyes clear." This was obviously not the first time Xie Ning answered this question, and now he was so skilled that it seemed like he was reciting it by heart, "It's just the exhaustion of my superpowers that caused me to feel weak, and my limbs are weak from lying in bed for half a month. I just need a few days of recuperation and training."
"Thanks."
She lowered her eyelids and thanked him softly.
"I heard from the president that it was you and the Dawn team who helped me. I am very grateful and I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. As long as it's not excessive, I will help you."
Si Yu'an raised his lips, and the arc of his smile became 100% brilliant: "It doesn't matter, it's mainly Shuguang and that psychic who did the hard work, we are just playing the role of an audience, and helping you is our duty!"
At this point, he scratched his cheek, his eyebrows drooping: "If possible, we would like you to answer a few questions for us... because our teammates are still in a deep sleep and have not woken up yet."
"...I see." Xie Ning was stunned for a moment, then nodded decisively, "Ask me whatever you want, I will answer them all."
Maybe it was because the situation was not like a big competition, or maybe it was some other reason, this woman who was always as cold and sharp as ice calmed down unusually. Such an easy-going attitude was seriously inconsistent with the rumors, and the three of them looked at each other silently.
This is obviously a good thing for them.
Lin Muyu asked first: "What will Miss Xie feel during her sleep? Will she be able to sense the outside world?"
"No, my perception of the outside world is extremely weak."
Xie Ning shook her head and recalled: "My teammates said that she kept talking to me by my bed, but in fact, I didn't feel anything. As for the feeling during the sleep... I felt that it was very similar to the feeling of being swallowed by the black fog, as if there was a thin film separating me from everything."
"Suffocation, depression, and all kinds of negative emotions piled up together will eventually reach their peak. Your help is more like a fuse, turning all of this into a dream, and I was awakened by it."
"It's a pity that I can't remember what I dreamed about."
Therefore, even without interference, the sleeping person will eventually wake up due to the emotions accumulated to the point of expansion. It seems that Qi Heng's mental network, which is as strong as steel, will not bring any bad effects. As I said before, we just need to wait.
This is good news. The three of them relaxed their brows and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that all the energy for the day was coming back at this moment.
But in this way, the question I want to ask most has been answered, so there is no need to ask the rest. Xie Ning's weakness was visible to the naked eye, and it would be inappropriate to disturb her too much without providing any practical help.
As if seeing their intention, Xie Ning asked directly: "Have you solved all your problems?"
"A lot of things have happened during this period of time." She looked away and habitually tried to condense a snowflake to play with, but her fingertips froze as her supernatural power was exhausted. She withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened, "I need to digest it slowly by myself. If there is nothing else, please close the door and go back."
A blunt yet considerate order to leave.
Lin Muyu nodded in response, and he retreated with his two teammates, holding the door handle and gently closing the door: "Then we won't disturb you. I hope Miss Xie will recover soon."
The door slowly closed.
In the gradually closing gap, Xie Ning could be seen looking out the window. There was no expression on her face, she just stared quietly at the scene outside the window, her back was straight, her long hair was loose, and her figure was thin.
A lot of things happened in the past half month. For those who are awake, the passage of time is a personal experience; but for someone who has just woken up from a nightmare, it is like a brain that has not yet restarted is forced to cram in too many programs, and needs some alone time to slowly digest them.
Her memory stopped at the moment when the black fog burst out. The only thing that remained vivid in her mind was the warm blood and sticky debris splattering on her face, and the tearing pain deep in her pupils.
Everything happened too fast. The anger was extinguished in half a month before it could rise. It was stuck there, neither going up nor down. After being washed away by too much information that needed to be understood, it finally only left an indelible mark in the heart, announcing its power to the holder only when no one was around.
Maybe the conversation was her way of distracting herself.
But she had to face the bloody wound and lick it clean by herself.
——
The sweet pastry rolls into the tip of your tongue.
Ye Yunhe collapsed on the sofa, feeling drowsy. The afternoon tea after being exhausted was the culprit for his sleepiness. The deliberately low voices of his companions around him were also one of the reasons why he closed his eyes.
The feeling of security radiated warmth within her body, and she succumbed to her sleepiness with an inexplicable emotion.
Tomorrow is the day to go to the copy.
Hope all is well.
