"The streamer said he would wake up, so he definitely will."
"But the doctors said before that it would be difficult for him to wake up..."
"Who can say for sure? You see some cancer patients, they go out, relax, and travel once, and they actually recover."
At the hospital room door, several nurses were whispering.
Although they were tired every day,
No one complained in front of the patients.
In this major earthquake, they had received a lot of patients.
Some had white hair, shedding tears in their dreams, muttering incoherently, unwilling to wake up.
Some were only four or five years old and had to have their legs amputated upon arrival.
There were also stars whose careers were on the rise, and the first thing they wanted upon waking was a mirror.
Xie Zhengyu was also one of the admitted patients.
He was brought in unconscious.
At only fourteen or fifteen years old, he had lost everything.
At that time, the doctor said whether he could wake up depended on fate.
It was like their younger brothers and sisters, at this age they were still preparing for the junior high school entrance exams.
Striving for an ordinary future.
"Perhaps, the streamer is his benefactor."
"My brother said this child is very strong, he endured through the daily cycle, he will definitely wake up this time."
...
Xie Zhengyu woke up the next morning, when the first hint of dawn appeared in the east.
When he woke up, his head felt groggy.
He felt like he had a very long dream.
In the dream, he seemed to be participating in a difficult marathon.
He kept running and running.
Every time he thought he was close to the finish line, he inexplicably returned to the starting point.
The finish line was right in front of him, but he couldn't get any closer.
He was confused, scared, and lonely.
All sorts of emotions made him feel cold all over.
His steps became heavier and heavier, as if he was carrying an extra five hundred jin.
But there was always a voice in his heart asking: Do you want to get out?
'I want to get out!'
Following his firm reply,
On the hospital bed, Xie Zhengyu slowly opened his eyes.
He felt like he had woken up abruptly, but in reality, his movements were slow.
His eyelashes trembled, and his eyeballs rolled under his eyelids.
Then he slowly opened his eyelids.
After waking up, that thought was still etched in his mind.
-- I must get out!
He squinted uncomfortably, looking at the white ceiling in front of him, the surrounding instruments.
And... the light outside the window.
Everything was so familiar, yet so strange.
The smell of disinfectant filled the air.
...Finally out!
Xie Zhengyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Then he became confused again.
Huh?
Why did I have such a thought?
Out? Out of where? Where am I going?
Who was asking me if I wanted to come out?
Xie Zhengyu felt his mind was in a mess, and his head was even more muddled.
But for some reason, a sense of sorrow spread from the bottom of his heart.
It made his limbs cold.
His eyes, however, felt warm.
Tears slid down the corners of his eyes on their own.
They couldn't be stopped at all.
'What exactly is going on?'
Xie Zhengyu opened his mouth, his mouth unusually dry.
He wanted to ask, but didn't know where to start.
Tears,
What is going on...
Xie Zhengyu couldn't help but sob, and his nose started running.
Because of his sobs,
His wounds were pulled,
Bringing a clear, dull pain.
It also made him understand more clearly that this was the real world.
This place was too real.
...
"He's awake!"
"Quick, check how he's doing!"
As voices rang out, a series of footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Doctors and nurses rushed over.
Seeing Xie Zhengyu's tear-streaked face, they were startled.
"What's wrong? Is the wound too painful?"
"Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"
Xie Zhengyu's eyes were blurred, and he gritted his teeth and whimpered.
Hearing the question, he squeezed his eyes shut hard.
His voice hoarse, he replied, "Pain..."
It hurt so much.

In a temporary hotel.
Shen Jie got up in the morning, washed his face, and ordered some xiaolongbao and soy milk.
As he ate, he habitually picked up his phone and browsed the latest news.
Seeing that topics related to yesterday's underworld livestream had appeared,
He breathed a sigh of relief and clicked on the first topic to read.
-- Xie Zhengyu is awake and is currently recuperating. Please do not disturb the person involved excessively.
This injury...
It's probably not just a physical injury, Shen Jie thought.
Being trapped in the cycle for so long, and the people lost in the major earthquake...
The mental pain would definitely be much greater than the physical pain.
As Shen Jie read, his gaze gradually drifted.
To be honest, Shen Jie had been feeling a bit lost lately.
The day of the major earthquake was a weekend.
He had also planned to lie flat at home, but his boss had temporarily assigned him on a business trip.
The overtime pay for the business trip was generous.
Selling his time for money, he had actually managed to escape this disaster.
After the earthquake, his family called one after another to inquire about his situation.
His mother even said: It's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive.
She wouldn't urge him to get married for a while.
It's good to be alive.
Whenever Shen Jie thought about it, he felt a lingering fear.
If it weren't for his boss, if it weren't for his focus on money...
He would probably have been buried under the rubble, sleeping forever.
These past few days, he had been in a temporary hotel.
Sometimes, as he was falling asleep, he would suddenly feel the room shaking and quickly get up.
After looking around, he would find that nothing had happened.
In the latter half of the night, due to fright, he had no sleep at all.
He could only stay up with dark circles under his eyes, browsing his phone or spacing out.
Now that he couldn't sleep,
He wasn't afraid of not being able to get up the next day.
Because his boss and the company were all gone in the major earthquake.
Shen Jie felt quite lost.
Oh, after the earthquake, he had specifically checked if his rented apartment was gone and if he needed to pay compensation.
He sent a message to Brother Jiang, asking how he was, but received no reply.
In just one day, the entire world had changed drastically.
...
Shen Jie stuffed a xiaolongbao into his mouth and swiped his finger on his phone.
He navigated to the WeChat interface.
After the earthquake, many people had sent him messages.
He had also sent messages to some people.
But not everyone had replied.
Those who didn't reply... he didn't know if they were safe.
Bang.
Shen Jie put down his phone, holding a xiaolongbao in one hand and soy milk in the other.
He'd just take it as a vacation.
After finishing things here, he would go home to visit.
-- Yes, even though his boss couldn't pay him anymore, he couldn't just abandon the business trip task he had accepted.
After that, he would submit a few more resumes and find a new job...
"I'll take it one step at a time."
Cherish the moment.
...
Ding~
The screen of the phone placed on the table lit up, and a piece of today's news popped up.
[A person named Zhu was fishing and discovered that the river water had dried up overnight.]
