As if a nuclear bomb had been dropped into her brain, Lin Zhenzhen's body instantly stiffened.
Fortunately, Huo Yeshuo arrived in time and, seeing that the situation was not right, immediately called a doctor.
In an instant, the ward became a chaotic mess again.
Lin Zhenzhen clenched her fist, forcing herself to move, but because her steps were too stiff, her back bumped directly into the huge electronic instrument, making a loud "bang".
Huo Yeshuo quickly stepped forward and supported her waist.
"What's wrong? Are you alright?"
"No, it's nothing." Lin Zhenzhen's tongue was numb.
The moment the system announced the completion of the main quest, a powerful electric current, like ants consuming bone, surged through Lin Zhenzhen's body, eventually converging at her chest.
An indescribable, excruciating pain suddenly struck, causing her mind to go blank for several seconds and even rendering her unable to move.
"I... I'll go out first and rest for a bit."
Lin Zhenzhen knew that something was wrong with her current situation. In order not to cause any more trouble, she left the ward and sat down on the bench against the wall in a flustered manner.
Could you give me some more time, at least not today?
Lin Zhenzhen's voice trembled.
Tang You might not make it through; what if she also passes away at this time...?
Lin Zhenzhen was worried that Huo Yeshuo would not be able to withstand such repeated blows.
In the past, the system would try its best to meet her request to postpone leaving the small world, but today its attitude has become exceptionally tough.
[Awaiting the opening of a new small world entrance; a jump is imminent.]
Lin Zhenzhen, suppressing her urge to negotiate, said, "Can't I exchange my contribution points for time?"
The system mercilessly repeated its previous message: [Awaiting the opening of a new small world entrance; about to jump.]

Lin Zhenzhen struggled to stand up from the chair.
People kept coming and going in the ward, and more and more tubes were inserted into Xiaoyou's body, completely covering her upper body.
Lin Zhenzhen couldn't see Huo Yeshuo's expression, but she saw a gray-haired doctor pat him on the back and hand him a document.

As the electric current surged through her body, Lin Zhenzhen slowly adjusted her breathing and knocked on the door of the ward.
No one noticed what was happening here.
She knocked again, and this time the door opened, and the nurse came out, looking hurried: "Excuse me, could you please move aside?"
Lin Zhenzhen leaned to the side and gently called out to Huo Yeshuo while pressing against the door.
Huo Yeshuo turned his head to look behind him, his expression revealing his exhaustion: "What's wrong?"
"Could you come out for a moment? I want to talk to you." Lin Zhenzhen gazed at him intently, as if trying to take in his entire being.
Huo Yeshuo walked out of the ward, his mind unsettled: "What do you want to tell me?"
Lin Zhenzhen pursed her lips and smiled faintly: "What did you just eat?"
Huo Yeshuo frowned slightly. Although he didn't quite understand why she would bring this up at this time, he still answered seriously.
"sandwich."
The hospital cafeteria wasn't open yet, so he just bought some random food from the convenience store downstairs to tide him over.
Lin Zhenzhen didn't say anything more, she just stared at him, not even daring to blink.
Huo Yeshuo felt something was off, but all his attention was on Xiaoyou, so he didn't have time to think about it further.
"I'm very busy right now and can't take care of you. I'll call the driver over later, and you can go back with him first. I'll let you know if there's any news."
Lin Zhenzhen suddenly raised her hand and put it on his shoulder.
Huo Yeshuo turned his head in surprise and saw her fingers moving slightly as she adjusted her collar.
"..."
In the moment of his daze, those hands actually touched his cheeks.
Lin Zhenzhen placed her palm on Huo Yeshuo's jawline, wiggled her thumb, and slowly and gently stroked his skin.
Huo Yeshuo's brow twitched, and he raised his hand to grab her wrist: "What's wrong?"

Lin Zhenzhen frowned: "It hurts..."
Huo Yeshuo immediately let go: "Sorry, I used too much force."
Lin Zhenzhen shook her head, took a deep breath, and forcefully suppressed the cry of pain that was about to escape her lips.
"It's okay, it's not your fault."
"You seem strange." Huo Yeshuo frowned. "Is something wrong?"
Lin Zhenzhen shook her head and placed her hand on Huo Yeshuo's cheek again: "I just want to chat with you for a while."
She pursed her lips gently: "Huo Yeshuo, we always have to face all kinds of life and death separations, you know that?"
So don't be sad, try to look forward, and live well no matter what happens.
Huo Yeshuo looked at her, then lowered his eyes after a moment: "I understand. I was prepared for Xiaoyou's situation, so don't worry."
"Hmm." Lin Zhenzhen fell silent again. The incandescent light shone on her face, making it appear translucent, white, and spotless.
Huo Yeshuo touched the corner of Lin Zhenzhen's eye where it was glistening with tears: "You cried?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Zhenzhen pouted and forced an ugly smile.
"you......"
Lin Zhenzhen suddenly buried her head in Huo Yeshuo's arms, burying it in his chest and wrapping her arms tightly around his waist.
"Huo Yeshuo, promise me you won't make me worry."
