Upon entering, Ding Yi saw Dongfang Yi lying motionless on the bed. Although she knew it was because he was seriously injured, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
Dongfang Yi, who was staring blankly at the stone ceiling on the bed, suddenly heard a woman's melodious laughter.
She quickly came to her senses and said, "You're back."
Although he couldn't see the person, Dongfang Yi knew immediately from the sound that it was Ding Yi, not Shu Xin.
After all, someone as carefree as Shuxin wouldn't have such a beautiful voice.
Shu Xin gritted her teeth: Brother, thank you!
Ding Yi was taken aback by the voice, and slowly asked, "How did you know it was me?"
Then he walked forward with light steps.
A figure suddenly appeared in Dongfang Yi's eyes, making him somewhat dazed, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Shuxin has a cheerful personality and would never have such a pleasant voice as just now."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi was taken aback. Should she say that Dongfang Yi was praising her, or take the opportunity to belittle Shu Xin?
If Shu Xin knew, she would definitely drag Dongfang Yi out of bed and give him a good beating.
He then said, "I'll take that as a compliment."
Dongfang Yi smiled faintly and remained silent.
Then, as if remembering something, she said, "Could you help me up and sit down?"
He had no idea how long he had been lying there; he just felt tired no matter how he lay down.
"Can."
Ding Yi stepped forward and helped Dongfang Yi sit up.
Only then did Dongfang Yi have time to look around the entire secret room. Apart from books, walls, tables, and a bed, there was nothing else in the room, so it seemed to be a place for studying.
A question arose in his mind: "Is this secret room where you study?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi glanced at the secret room and said, "Yes, I usually prefer peace and quiet, and I often study medicine here."
Dongfang Yi asked in surprise, "You also know medicine?"
Ding Yi scoffed, "Otherwise, do you think your injuries were so severe because you had magic that healed them?"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yi suddenly recalled the scene from before and immediately understood Ding Yi's meaning.
He was already seriously injured when he escaped, but he woke up at this moment, and he could feel that his injuries were not as serious as before, and seemed to be gradually improving.
It seems that without medical help, he wouldn't have recovered so quickly.
If he hadn't run into Ding Yi, he probably would have been in the underworld by the time the others found him.
Dongfang Yi bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Ding, for saving my life. I will definitely repay your kindness when I get out of here."
Ding Yi raised an eyebrow and asked, "How do you plan to repay me?"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yi was taken aback and asked, "Miss Ding, how do you wish me to repay you?"
We can't be so old-fashioned as to make him repay us with his body.
Although he also thought this reward was a good suggestion.
But they don't seem to know each other well enough, and such words seem a bit frivolous.
Ding Yi pretended to think for a while and then said, "If you are willing, you can consider offering yourself to me."
Dongfang Yi: ...
Isn't that a bit too fantastical?
He actually guessed it right.
For a moment, Dongfang Yi didn't know how to answer.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ding Yi realized that what she had said was a bit off-topic. Seeing Dongfang Yidi's expression, she immediately changed her words and said, "I was just joking, you don't have to take it seriously."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, an unknown emotion was vaguely growing deep within him.
Neither of them spoke, and an awkward silence fell over the room.
In the end, Dongfang Yi was the first to react, and then asked, "By the way, do you have a cell phone?"
Ding Yi, "What do you need a cell phone for?"
Dongfang Yi said, “I have been missing for a long time. My family must have been very worried about me during this time. I want to let them know that I am safe. They are old and can’t take any shocks.”
Dongfang Yi didn't tell him everything, but what he said was the truth.
He has been missing for so long. If any of Chen Ran and the others survived, they should have already returned to the Dongfang family. His grandparents must know about him and be extremely worried.
Hearing this, Ding Yi nodded understandingly, "I'll go get it for you."
Dongfang Yi nodded and said, "Thank you."
Ding Yi smiled and left the secret room.
Dongfang Yi saw envy in her eyes.
For a moment, he thought he had misread it.
After all, he didn't say anything that could make someone as outstanding as her look at him with envy.
What Dongfang Yi didn't know was that Ding Yi, who grew up as an orphan, envied family the most in her life.
Ding Yi emerged from the secret room without a trace of a smile. "It's so good to have family members who worry about and care for me."
He then looked around the room, his eyes filled with longing.
"Master, where are you? Yi'er misses you so much."
When Ding Yi reappeared in the secret room, more than ten minutes had passed. Ding Yi handed the cell phone she had just bought to Dongfang Yidao, saying, "Do you know how to use it? I just bought it not long ago and haven't used it much."
For the past twenty years, she had stayed inside the pavilion and never had the opportunity to go out. It was only this time that she felt so oppressed that she finally went out.
When she got outside and saw that everyone had a cell phone, out of curiosity, she asked Shuxin to get her one too.
However, she didn't understand how to use it, and no one wanted to contact her, so the phone became just a decoration for her.
Dongfang Yi was taken aback by the sound, somewhat surprised that Ding Yi had hardly ever used a mobile phone. He knew that nowadays, almost everyone in the world, regardless of age, had a mobile phone.
Ding Yi, however, said that she had only bought it recently and even asked him if he knew how to use it.
Dongfang Yi didn't intend to ask any more questions; this was Ding Yi's private matter, and he shouldn't pry.
Dongfang Yi took the phone. "Thank you, I will."
He then skillfully turned on the phone, opened the phone interface, entered a number, and dialed it.
Meanwhile, Chen Ran, who was in Jian Yixue's group who was rushing over in the car, suddenly heard his phone ring.
He immediately took it out and frowned, seeing an unfamiliar number clearly displayed on the phone screen.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ran chose to hang up. Just as he was about to put his phone in his pocket, the phone rang again.
Chen Ran looked at it and saw it was still the same number.
The other party didn't mistype?
Suddenly remembering something, he frowned and answered, "Hello."
"Chen Ran, it's me."
Upon hearing the voice, Chen Ran's eyes lit up.
Somewhat disbelieving what he had just heard, he immediately asked, "Young Master? Is that you?"
Jian Yixue, Ye Mohan, and the others in the same car immediately looked at Chen Ran.
"Yes, it's me."
Chen Ran said excitedly, "Young Master, it really is you! That's wonderful! You..."
Before Chen Ran could finish speaking, Jian Yixue interrupted, "Give me the phone."
