"Hey, Mom..." Lin Shi could only utter one syllable before she couldn't help but cry.
Lin's mother couldn't help but cry too, "You child, you scared us to death, you know? I almost took the train to your place, but your father stopped me... He said it would be no use for us to go, the roads are all blocked."
"Mom, I'm fine, just a little scrape, but... Su Jin is still inside."
Lin's mother's heart pounded again, "That girl wasn't with you?"
Lin Shi recalled the scene from earlier, "She told me to go first because one of her companions had fainted and she needed to drag him along."
Lin's mother sighed deeply, "That child is still too kind... She has to repay even the smallest kindness from others."
Tears streamed down Lin Shi's face. The sun was about to set, which would greatly increase the difficulty of the rescue.
Lin's mother wiped away her tears. "Remember to call me when she gets out. We'll book tickets to your place right now, and Mom will arrive tomorrow."
Lin Shi sat in the back seat of the ambulance as the paramedics examined her wounds. They were just minor scrapes that only required a little medication.
Lin Shi really wanted to get some sleep, but Su Jin was still in danger, so she forced herself to stay awake, with red and blue lights flashing in front of her.
A dark figure appeared in her weary vision.
Lin Shi sat up straight, trying hard to see the figure clearly.
It's Su Jin.
Lin Shi excitedly reverted to his primal instincts, pointing at her and shouting, "Hey! Hey! Hey!"
Su Jin lifted the hair covering her face to reveal her eyebrows and eyes, and released the rope holding Shen Yanxiu's clothes.
He reached out to respond to Lin Shi's call, his face expressionless, showing neither the joy of surviving a near-death experience nor a single word.
She walked over to the stunned Director Yan and took the cigarette he had lit but hadn't yet smoked.
I put it to my lips and took a deep breath.
She thought, "So this is what cigarettes taste like."
It has a fishy, sweet smell, mixed with the smell of mud and rainwater.
He exhaled white smoke and looked around, only to realize that everyone seemed to be looking at him.
Why are you all looking at me?
The reporters outside the fence were stunned for a moment, then pressed the button on the door even faster, all thinking that tomorrow's traffic would definitely be theirs.
The medical staff went to check on the person Su Jin had brought out and exclaimed in surprise, "She's still alive!"
Su Jin smiled. "Of course I'm alive. Why would I bring a corpse out?"
She was suddenly embraced tightly, and a familiar voice rang in her ears, "Wife...you're really here, right? You're alright..."
Su Jin took another drag of her cigarette and tried to push him away, but found she couldn't.
"Can you... calm down first?"
Gu Xingze felt a pang of bitterness spread from his heart to his entire body. "Why did you tell me to calm down... Xiao Jin, you're so mean."
Gu Xingze loosened his arms slightly, revealing a face streaked with tears. He slowly shook his head, speaking slowly and deliberately.
"But I can't live without you."
Su Jin didn't find the smell of cigarettes so unpleasant; at least the nicotine could numb her nerves, making her feel nothing unusual.
She took another drag, unmoved by his confession. Gu Xingze's eyes dimmed, and he suddenly pressed her head down, their lips meeting, and the smoke was passed into his mouth.
Su Jin felt that this kiss was more captivating than any she had ever experienced before.
Gu Xingze greedily sucked and took everything from her, including her cigarettes.
All around were gasps of breath.
Shen Yanxiu regained consciousness at this moment, saw this scene, and fainted again.
The medical staff were terrified. "Quick! Resuscitate!"
Their lips parted, and Gu Xingze angrily snatched the cigarette from her fingers. "Don't smoke, it's bad for your health."
Seeing that the two of them had separated, Lin Shi stepped forward and asked, "You scared me to death! Are you alright? Why didn't you come with the rescue team?"
Su Jin shook her head. "Apart from twisting one ankle, there's nothing else wrong. It's too dark to see anything."
Gu Xingze examined her thoroughly, turning her over and over like a pancake. "Wife, are you really alright? Don't lie to me."
Su Jin scratched her head, a little impatiently, "I said, no problem... cough!"
She suddenly coughed up blood, which splattered onto Gu Xingze's soaked shirt.
Everyone present was stunned.
Su Jin, with blood at the corner of her mouth, was equally shocked and tried her best to explain that she was alright, "I'm really not injured... cough cough cough!"
This time it wasn't exactly coughing up blood, but vomiting it out.
Then her body fell straight down. Gu Xingze caught her limp body, trembling with fear, his teeth chattering. "Su Jin... don't scare me... what... should I do?"
Medical staff rushed over to check her condition. "There are no external injuries, so why are you vomiting blood?"
Before they could even figure out the cause, Su Jin looked like she was about to die.
This is no joke, because her heart stopped beating!
Lin Shi was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes. "Doctor! Doctor, please save her!"
Gu Xingze held her cold body and murmured, "No, no, she was fine just now, wife, wife, wake up."
He felt like it was all a ridiculous dream. Why was the person who was kissing him just a second ago now a corpse in his arms?
He pressed his face against her chest, hoping to hear even the faintest sound of her heartbeat, but alas, there was nothing.
Gu Xingze cupped her face in his hands, at a loss for words. "Xiao Jin, baby, wife, please wake up, okay? I beg you, please stop teasing me like this."
It is said that the last thing a person loses before they die is their hearing. Su Jin heard Gu Xingze crying helplessly like a child, "Someone, please save her!"
Then she fell into nothingness.
...
When Su Jin opened her eyes again, all she could see was white. She touched her chest first. "There really is no heartbeat. Am I really dead?"
That's not right. Putting aside the fact that she didn't suffer any injuries before she died, judging from the surrounding environment, this seems to be heaven.
"Can I go to heaven after I die?"
Does that mean I'll never see my best friend again?
Because she's definitely going to hell.
"Stop guessing..." It was 007's voice.
Su Jin exclaimed in surprise, "It's you? Are you an angel?"
007 was speechless. "You're not dead. I put you into a state of suspended animation because only in this way can we avoid the main system's surveillance."
Su Jin suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Oh, wait a minute, what if they think I'm really dead and cremate me later?"
"I won't take up too much of your time..."
Su Jin had a thousand questions in her mind: "Why didn't you show up when I called you just now, but suddenly you've appeared?"
007 sighed, "It's 0827. It entered your dream the night before. According to the rules, a person cannot have two systems in their body, so I was forced into hibernation. Otherwise, I could have foreseen this disaster and told you about it."
