The medical staff inside were also frightened out of their wits. In all their years, they had never seen such a situation before.
This was the emergency room. How could outsiders be allowed to barge in casually?
Even if the patient inside was on the verge of death, such a situation was absolutely unacceptable.
They rushed forward in a swarm, trying to pull Yun Que'er away.
But Yun Que'er struggled desperately, her eyes fixed on Ji Chengxuan all the time.
His face was already deathly pale. The more Yun Que'er looked at him, the more unfamiliar he seemed.
The person in front of her was nothing like the Ji Chengxuan she used to know.
"It's my fault. All my fault..."
Yun Que'er murmured, tears streaming down her face.
It was her selfishness that had harmed Ji Chengxuan.
She thought she should have let go long ago. Everyone had their own destiny. Sometimes, how long one would live was predestined by heaven.
One shouldn't force things. One simply shouldn't...
If she hadn't gone crazy with the lottery back then, Ji Chengxuan might have retained a shred of rationality, wouldn't have acted so impulsively, and none of this would have happened.
The numbers on the monitoring device kept dropping. Yun Que'er felt as if her heart was dying too.
She had never realized how important Ji Chengxuan was to her. Sometimes, she even found him annoying. But today, she discovered that Ji Chengxuan had become an inseparable part of her life.
Without him, it would be like losing her hands and feet. What was the point of being a living corpse without hands and feet?
"Can I die in your place?" Yun Que'er asked through her tears.
The medical staff beside her were startled and quickly tried to console her.
"Little girl, don't do anything stupid. You're still so young. Don't sacrifice yourself for others."
But he wasn't just anyone. He was Ji Chengxuan.
Yun Que'er knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably as she pressed her hand against her aching chest.
"Please wake up. As long as you can wake up, I'm willing to pay any price."
As soon as she finished speaking, the system display screen that only Yun Que'er could see suddenly popped up.
[Does the master confirm to repair the system for someone else?]
Yun Que'er was stunned. Did the system have such a function?
She wanted to confirm! She must confirm! As long as Ji Chengxuan could wake up safely, Yun Que'er would do anything.
Without hesitation, she pressed the confirmation button. To others, it seemed as if Yun Que'er was going crazy, pressing buttons into thin air.
But on the screen in front of Yun Que'er, a string of garbled characters appeared, and more and more kept coming. Yun Que'er couldn't understand a single bit.
Finally, the system returned to its initial page. This was what it looked like when Yun Que'er first got the system, before any development or upgrade. It was also the most familiar sight to her.
At the same time, the system's voice customer service reminded Yun Que'er in her ear.
"The master's system has been initialized and cannot be upgraded again in the short term. The time - travel mission has ended prematurely and will never be reopened."
Yun Que'er knew that it was all over. She couldn't go back in time anymore, unless she could win a level - five reward again.
But that didn't matter anymore. All Yun Que'er wanted was to see Ji Chengxuan wake up.
At this moment, a nurse suddenly exclaimed.
"The patient's blood pressure is rising!"
The medical staff rushed over immediately and continued to rescue Ji Chengxuan. Yun Que'er was also pulled out by a nurse.
Yun Que'er stood there stupidly at the door as time ticked by.
She was waiting for the judgment of heaven, waiting for a safe outcome.
Finally, the door of the emergency room was opened again.
The doctor walked out, sweating profusely. He let out a sigh of relief and nodded at Old Doctor Ji.
"Please rest assured. After our all - out efforts, your son's vital signs have returned to normal. Now he just needs to be hospitalized for observation for a while. If there are no problems, your son can be discharged."
Old Doctor Ji heaved a huge sigh of relief, his eyes filled with tears. He knew his son would never be so easily defeated.
Yun Que'er slumped to the ground weakly. Finally, finally, he was okay...
Not long after, Ji Chengxuan was wheeled out.
His complexion had recovered a bit. Although he was still a bit pale, it was much better than before.
The doctor gave a long list of instructions and then sent Ji Chengxuan to the ward.
Old Doctor Ji stroked Yun Que'er's head. "Little Que'er, thank you for staying with me. Your father has just recovered. You should go back quickly."
Yun Que'er refused to leave. "Uncle Ji, please let me stay here. I want to see him wake up."
Old Doctor Ji sighed, thinking how good the relationship between these two kids was. He had no choice but to agree.
"Alright. Stay with me and wait for him. If it gets dark and he still hasn't woken up, I'll take you home."
Yun Que'er nodded and sat on a small stool beside Ji Chengxuan, her eyes never leaving his face.
Yun Que'er had been through a lot. Old Doctor Ji was afraid she would be hungry. Seeing that Ji Chengxuan was okay for the time being, he went downstairs to the cafeteria to buy some food for Yun Que'er.
Yun Que'er didn't seem tired at all. She just sat there, not moving an inch.
After a long time, Ji Chengxuan suddenly coughed lightly.
Yun Que'er was immediately alerted. She rushed forward and grabbed Ji Chengxuan's hand.
"How are you?"
Ji Chengxuan opened his eyes a little, staring blankly at the white ceiling.
"Damn it. How did I end up in the hospital too..." Ji Chengxuan said hoarsely.
Yun Que'er's tears welled up. She wanted to slap Ji Chengxuan hard, but she couldn't bear to. Instead, she clenched her small fists.
"You still have the nerve to say that! I told you not to be a hero. Why didn't you listen to the system's warning? The doctor said your organs were failing and you were almost dead. You really scared me!"
"Really?..." Ji Chengxuan was still a bit weak. It took him a lot of effort to turn his head and look at Yun Que'er.
He gave a faint smile. "Why are you crying? I'm not your father."
"You're really good at talking!" Yun Que'er roared. "Can't I be worried about you?"
Ji Chengxuan curled his lips slightly. He quickly checked his body and, after confirming that he was okay, he checked his system. To his surprise, it was completely different from before.
Previously, Ji Chengxuan had developed many new functions, and the system's built - in screen was filled with all kinds of buttons.
Now it was completely different. The interface was very clean, just like when he first got the system.
"What's going on?" Ji Chengxuan asked in confusion.
He glanced at Yun Que'er. "Did you do something behind my back?"
"If I hadn't done anything, you wouldn't have survived!" Yun Que'er said excitedly. "Fortunately, at the critical moment, the system popped up an option for me to repair your system. Otherwise, you would have..."
"And you repaired it for me?" Ji Chengxuan suddenly sat up, but he felt dizzy and fell back onto the bed. "I'm so dizzy..."
"Just lie down properly. Don't move around!" Yun Que'er quickly held Ji Chengxuan down to stop him from moving.
