"I can't give you an answer to this question," the travelogue said. "With a brain injury, doctors can't give a definite time for the patient to wake up."
In other words, Shu Bai might just keep sleeping like this.
Feng Guang quickly asked again, "What about the medicine? The kind of medicine he gave Junze, is there still any left?"
"The professor only developed that one dose of the medicine." The travelogue paused for a moment, then said, "The professor intended to observe the effects of the medicine to determine its effectiveness, but unexpectedly, he died before even seeing the results... This incident was due to my inadequate protection."
No... this isn't right. In her memory, there was no plot about Shu Bai getting into trouble. Shu Bai was always fine. He met the female lead, fell in love with her, and even became a zombie for her sake, dying at the hands of the male lead.
So... how could something have happened to Shu Bai?
"Miss Xia." Seeing Feng Guang suddenly approach the bedside, You Ji grabbed her wrist. "What do you want to do?"
"I don't believe it!" Feng Guang looked up at the travelogue. "I don't believe anything could have happened to him!"
"Miss Xia, you are very emotional right now."
"Don't pull me away!" Feng Guang shouted. "He's faking being unconscious, isn't he?"
"The professor had no reason to do that."
"I don't care what his reasons are, he has to wake up!"
"Miss Xia..."
"Do you know...do you know I've been waiting for a year? My brother will wake up soon, how could Shu Bai...how could something happen to him at this time!"
The travelogue writer said indifferently, "It's a fact that the professor had an accident."
"I know it's true! But he has to wake up!" Feng Guang's gaze was stubborn as she desperately tried to pull her hand away, insisting, "Shu Bai is my only hope, he has to wake up... My brother is still waiting for me..."
"Enough!" You Ji suddenly raised his voice, forcefully pulling her into his arms. As she pressed against his chest, he grabbed her chin with his other hand, lowering his head slightly to bring his face closer to hers. He forced her to look at him and said slowly in a low voice, "Xia Fengguang, everyone knows how you've gotten through this past year. Don't you think... you've given too much meaningless emotion to that dead man?"
"What do you mean..." Her lips moved slightly, her eyes flashing, "meaningless?"
"Xia Fengying is already dead. Even if there is a medicine to eliminate the zombie virus, what good is it? It's not a medicine to bring the dead back to life. He can't come back to life."
"My brother..."
"Listen to me quietly." Youji's eyes narrowed slightly, and his cold, hard face moved even closer to her. She wanted to dodge, but she was at his mercy and couldn't back down an inch. "Only you still believe that Xia Fengying will come back to life. Everyone knows that he is dead. For the past year, you have gone to that cold storage room every day and talked to that corpse every day. Has he ever responded to you? How long do you want to keep lying to yourself?"
"I didn't..." Feng Guang sniffed, trying hard to suppress the sobs that were about to erupt in her voice, "My brother will wake up..."
“However, you also know very well that he has been dead for a long time, and even if there is medicine… it may not necessarily work in his body.” Youji suddenly released her chin and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with his fingertips. “You need someone to tell you clearly that Xia Fengying is dead, and you have done enough for him. Let him go, and let yourself go too.”
