Chapter 78 Ruan Qi Falls from the Building (Part 3)
How can this be a patient who has been in a coma for a whole day and night?
Even a healthy person can't climb eight floors in one breath, right?
Nie Beilou wanted to beat his apprentice, but before doing so, he had to get him down from the rooftop first.
The cold and handsome middle-aged man with a stern face was the first to rush to the rooftop.
Then, he saw a scene that made him feel terrified.
In the night, the little girl in hospital gown had her long hair flying freely.
She looked ahead and walked barefoot step by step to the edge of the rooftop.
There was no fence around the rooftop, and the slender and frail girl stood at the very edge, like a bird swaying in the wind.
Nie Beilou's expression changed drastically in an instant.
But he didn't dare to act rashly, and just moved towards that side step by step quietly.
"Xiao Qi?" he called out tentatively.
Ruan Qi, who was standing on the edge of the rooftop, turned his head slowly.
Nie Beilou immediately noticed something strange about the little girl—her eyes were out of focus!
Nie Beilou's expression changed, and just as he was about to speak, the rooftop door was knocked open again.
Ruan Munan, Shen Wenqian and others rushed to the rooftop.
They were all terrified when they saw the little girl standing on the edge.
"Xiao Qi!"
"Don't move!" Nie Beilou shouted, "Xiao Qi is unconscious now, don't stimulate her!"
After being reminded by Nie Beilou, everyone noticed Ruan Qi's abnormality.
The little girl's eyes were like those of a blind person, lifeless and out of focus.
She looked over here, but seemed to see nothing. This situation was a bit like... sleepwalking.
"Mr. Beilou, is Xiaoqi sleepwalking?" Ruan Munan asked in a trembling voice.
Nie Beilou stared closely at Ruan Qi's feet standing on the edge of the rooftop, and shook his head with a sullen face.
"She's in a semi-sleepwalking state. She's aware that this is the real world, but because she's been immersed in the dream for too long, her consciousness can't quickly escape."
Chu Yujiang had already awakened Ruan Qi before, and Ruan Qi had already realized that this was the real world.
But because she struggled in the dream for a day and a night, her mental state was still a little confused, which led to the current situation.
I woke up, but I couldn't see the people in the real world, nor could I hear the sounds in the real world, and my consciousness was still stuck in the dream.
"Then, what should we do now?" Shen Wenqian looked at the little girl's shaky body, his face pale with fear. "We can't just let her stand there like that, right? It's too dangerous!"
It is not uncommon for sleepwalking to lead to accidental falls.
There is a high possibility that Ruan Qi might miss a step and fall from the 30th floor!
"Mr. Beilou, I'm going to save Xiaoqi." Ruan Munan didn't dare to wait and decided to make a quick decision.
But at this moment, the little girl standing on the edge of the rooftop suddenly moved.
She slowly turned her head, her lifeless eyes seemed to be looking for something in the night.
"Go home... I want to go home..."
The little girl's unconscious mumbling spread in the night.
Bare feet began to move slowly along the edge of the rooftop, "Looking for my mother... my master... where is my brother..."
Ruan Munan heard her mumbling and hurriedly walked over there tentatively.
"Xiao Qi," he lowered his voice, fearing to scare the little girl, "Brother is here. Xiao Qi, come here quickly."
Ruan Qi did not respond to Ruan Munan's voice.
"Looking for my brother..." she muttered, her eyes blurred as if covered with a layer of fog. "I want to go home..."
After saying that, he took another step towards the edge of the rooftop.
Everyone's heart instantly rose to their throat.
Bai Li in the system finally couldn't sit still anymore and started yelling in Ruan Qi's mind.
"Ruan Xiaoqi! Wake up! Don't go any further! If you keep going, you're really going back to your hometown!"
Ruan Qi didn't react at all to Bai Li's voice.
Her feet slowly moved forward again.
"Xiao Qi!" Ruan Munan didn't dare to delay any longer and shouted anxiously, "Come back quickly! Brother is here! Brother will take you home!"
The little girl's right foot was already halfway over the edge of the roof.
"Xiao Qi, come back soon!"
"Xiao Qi, Mr. Ruan is here! Don't go any further!"
"Little Madam, stop!"
Everyone was extremely anxious, and Ruan Munan and Nie Beilou did not dare to delay any longer, and moved towards Ruan Qi at an extremely fast speed.
Just as Nie Beilou was about to reach the edge of the rooftop, Ruan Qi took a step forward with his right foot.
“No!!!”
"Xiao Qi——!"
"don't want--!!!"
Amidst everyone's desperate screams, Nie Beilou reacted the fastest. He instantly flew to the edge of the rooftop, trying to reach out and grab Ruan Qi.
But it was still too late.
The little girl's figure fell into the vast night.
"Xiao Qi——!!!"
Ruan Munan yelled, his eyes red as he wanted to jump down after Ruan Qi.
However, just as he was about to jump, a hand suddenly stretched out from under the roof and caught the falling girl by the waist.
“!!!!!”
Ruan Munan quickly lowered his head and looked down——
Under the rooftop, Xi Jiu was like a cheetah in the dark night, silently crawling on the wall outside the office on the 28th floor.
He had only a thin hemp rope tied around his waist, and most of his body was hanging in the air in the night, with only his left hand tightly grasping the railing of the air-conditioning equipment outside the building.
Because of the huge inertia when Ruan Qi fell, Xi Jiu's right forearm muscles were slightly torn and pain spread.
But he still held the little girl firmly. Even though he was nearly 100 meters in the air, he was fearless as if he was holding the whole world.

Mr. Xi is looking handsome again today.
