Curled up in bed.
From a distance, it looks so real that it could easily be mistaken for the real thing.
She continued to wait patiently.
The sound of footsteps in the corridor faded into the distance.
The conversation gradually subsided.
Judging that the time was about right, she slipped back into Xie Huaiye's ward again.
He didn't sleep at all.
A pair of eyes shone remarkably bright in the dim light.
It was filled with excitement and anticipation.
Yan Ning followed suit and quickly stuck another talisman on his pillow.
Casting spells by making hand gestures.
In an instant, Xie Huaiye lay down on the bed, fast asleep.
The two exchanged a glance, needing no words.
Xie Huaiye nimbly rolled over and got out of bed.
Yan Ning took his hand.
His palms were slightly sweaty from nervousness and excitement.
The door to the ward was silently opened a crack.
The corridor was deserted.
They hugged the wall and sped past the nurses' station.
The surveillance camera rotated silently overhead.
Yan Ning's heart was in her throat.
As we passed through a slightly ajar storage room door.
Suddenly, a clattering sound came from inside!

The sound of footsteps approached from afar, then slowly faded away.
They disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Until the footsteps completely disappeared.
Yan Ning finally let out a soft sigh of relief.
"It's alright, it's alright..."
Xie Huaiye patted his chest as well.
He mouthed an exaggerated "I'm terrified!" gesture at her.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Finally, they left the hospital's glass doors behind.
The sunlight poured down without any obstruction.
It carries a long-lost warmth and a sense of freedom.
"Wow!"
Xie Huaiye stood on the steps outside the hospital.
He tilted his head back and squinted.
They greedily inhaled the fresh air outside.
"The sky is so blue!"
He was like a bird just released from its cage, everything was new and exciting to him.
Yan Ning hailed a taxi, and the two headed to the amusement park together.
A towering Ferris wheel and a colorful, pointed castle.
It quickly came into view.
Xie Huaiye excitedly grabbed Yan Ning's arm and shook it:
"We're here! Look, sister! It's the amusement park!"
