Chapter 121 Awakening! Xinling's Shura Field in the Typhoon Day
Hospital, ward
Hearing the rumbling thunder outside the window, Lin Wanyu instinctively shrank her neck.

"Oh no, it's thundering!" Chen Meijia exclaimed in surprise, only then realizing what was happening.

"Oh right. I was watching TV this afternoon, and it seemed like there was a typhoon coming."

"A typhoon?" Lin Wanyu was taken aback. "When did this happen?"

"When you went to change your clothes, I glanced at the news program. Did I say anything?" Chen Meijia blinked and pondered for a moment.
"Never mind, it's not important!"

"It's thundering now, shouldn't we hurry home, or we won't be able to get back?"

Lin Wanyu hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "No, Meijia, you should go back first. I want to wait for Xinling to wake up."

"If Cyndi woke up and found a typhoon raging outside, she would definitely be very scared."

When she said this, Wanyu had a smile of 'compassion for the world' on her face.

Meijia was taken aback: Wow, that light is so blinding.

"Hey Hey hey!"

Meijia was a little unhappy.

Do you think I'm the kind of person who would abandon my best friend and go back alone?

As she spoke, Meijia grabbed Lin Wanyu's arm and said loudly, "If you don't leave, I won't leave either!"

"We're best sisters, as close as branches of a tree!"

Lin Wanyu was touched by Meijia's words, her beautiful eyes sparkling, "Meijia, you're so kind~"

I never expected Mika to be so loyal!

"Inner Background"

Chen Meijia: Of course! And I'm afraid of thunder, and even more afraid of walking alone at night! If that's the case, I might as well stay in the hospital, at least there are more people here.

"Lu Ziqiao, wearing a ring on his head and floating by, exclaimed, 'Wow!! I died so tragically—!'"

Chen Meijia: Ahhh! Lu Ziqiao, don't come any closer! There's a ghost!!

Lin Wanyu was initially very touched, but as the next clap of thunder sounded, Meijia trembled and clung to her arms.

Lin Wanyu: "."

"Mika, are you not leaving because you're afraid of thunder?"

"Who said that? I'm not afraid!"

"Boom!"

A third clap of thunder followed immediately, startling Mika so much that she trembled like a quail and fell silent.

Lin Wanyu was actually a little flustered. At this moment, the image of a certain person naturally came to mind.

If only Gu Yifan were here, Lin Wanyu thought. She really needed Gu Yifan right now, but he was probably with another woman.

Will Su Weiwei also snuggle into his arms like Meijia did, saying she was scared?
Lin Wanyu was uncontrollably lost in her thoughts when a flash of inspiration struck her.

"Oh right, it's thundering!"

Lin Wanyu's eyes widened as she realized something, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Gu Yifan went to Dianshan Lake and didn't even know there was a typhoon!"

Mika paused for a moment, then said, "Oh, right."

"But it's too late to tell him now."

Lin Wanyu: "."

Through the hospital room window, one could see the torrential rain already pouring down.

The continuous sound of rain was like the water from Dianshan Lake pouring directly into the city.

The rain was pouring down, and I could no longer see out the window.

The rapid drop in temperature caused a layer of condensation to rise from the windowpane, vaguely reflecting Lin Wanyu's figure.

"I hope Gu Yifan can come back safely." Lin Wanyu said with a worried expression.

This was the first time Meijia had seen Lin Wanyu look so worried and anxious, so she paused for a moment and then comforted her.

"Don't worry, Wanyu. Gu Yifan isn't stupid. How could he not know to bring in the laundry and go home for dinner when it's raining?"

"He'll definitely come back when he sees things are going badly; he's probably already at his apartment."

Lin Wanyu bit her lip. "No, I have to send him a message. Or maybe I should just call him."

As she spoke, Lin Wanyu took out her phone, only to find that the signal was very weak and the battery was almost dead.

"Why is there no power right now?!"

Just as Lin Wanyu was frantically sending messages to ask Gu Yifan if he was alright.

"Cough cough cough."

A series of coughs erupted from the hospital bed.

Lin Wanyu and Meijia looked over instinctively.

When they found Xinling lying on the hospital bed, they noticed that she had opened her eyes at some point, and her previously lifeless eyes now had a glimmer of brightness.

She raised her small face slightly, looking around blankly, trying to see where she was.
"Oh! Xinling, you're awake!"

The fear of thunder seems to be an innate trait of animals.

Boys are a little better off, but girls are more or less afraid.

(Except for Hu Yifei, who went to play basketball during a typhoon.)

Gu Yifan and the other two crawled into the same tent.

Fortunately, the tent was spacious enough for three people to sit cross-legged.

At this moment, Su Weiwei completely shed her usual sophisticated and elegant urban woman appearance, revealing her vulnerable inner nature.

Like a frightened little fox, she snuggled into Gu Yifan's arms, her hands still tightly gripping his collar, the fear in her fox eyes genuine.

Nuolan had initially been quite critical of Su Weiwei.

But the successive thunderclaps made her shiver several times. She couldn't care less about scolding Su Weiwei anymore. She gripped Gu Yifan tightly with both hands, her face filled with fear.

"Why did it suddenly start pouring rain?"

Gu Yifan was also puzzled.

The downpour came without warning, and he didn't understand why. But now, facing the two women who were clearly flustered, he naturally had to appear calm.

"Thunderstorms are normal in summer, and they'll probably pass soon."

Hearing Gu Yifan's calm tone, Nuolan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she wouldn't let go of his arms.

Su Weiwei was more direct; she seemed determined not to look up until the rain stopped.

Most of her delicate body was lying in Gu Yifan's arms, her fragrant shoulders still trembling slightly.

His anxious and uneasy demeanor was partly feigned, but seven parts were genuine.

Thunder rumbled, and the tent was dimly lit.

It instantly pulled Su Weiwei back to the unpleasant memories buried deep in her heart.

It was also a rainy afternoon like this.

The parents' endless argument downstairs gradually escalated into hysterical shouting and cursing.

There was also the sound of Ding Ling smashing things.

On the stairs, in a dark corner.

A little girl in a nightgown, hugging a plush toy pillow, sat curled up on the stairs.

Biting her pale lips, she listened quietly to her parents arguing downstairs with a fearful expression.

Every curse, every sound of furniture being smashed.

All of this would make the girl, with her long, flowing black hair, fox-like eyes, and who looked like a little fox, tremble slightly.

She hugged the plush toy in her arms even tighter and buried her head even deeper.

But the hysterical arguments downstairs seemed like they would never disappear.

The sound echoed in my ears like a nightmare.

"Mom and Dad, can you please stop arguing?"

The little girl kept murmuring this sentence, but she didn't have the courage to go down the stairs and tell her parents loudly.

The shadows deepened until they gradually swallowed the little girl's figure completely. She was almost invisible in the darkness.
"Sister Weiwei? Sister Weiwei?"

Gu Yifan could feel Su Weiwei trembling more and more violently in his arms.

Surely not? You're not that scared by a clap of thunder?

Although Gu Yifan admitted that the tent didn't seem very safe, the howling wind outside was lashing against the tent with raindrops, the amplified sound of the rain almost drowning out their voices.

Adding to the darkness, and whether they forgot to bring it in or simply didn't, there was no camping light inside the tent.

The three of them were like a small boat in a storm, in danger of being capsized at any moment.

Furthermore, Gu Yifan was also worried that the lake water level might rise.

If it were a sunny day, his campsite would naturally be fine, but with such a heavy downpour, Gu Yifan couldn't be sure what would happen.

"How is Weiwei?" Nuolan's sweet voice trembled slightly in the darkness, clearly showing her fear.

“They might have been scared,” Gu Yifan replied loudly.

"Then what do we do now?" Nuolan subconsciously regarded Gu Yifan as her pillar of support.

Now, Gu Yifan is the only one she can rely on.

Gu Yifan thought for a moment and made a decision, "I think we need to go back to the car. I'm afraid the lake water will rise and flood us."

"Is it really that bad?" Nolan was taken aback.

But the next second another gust of wind came, and even with the weight of three people pressing down on it, the tent shook violently a few times.

"Ah!" Nolan screamed in terror.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

A large, warm hand grasped Nolan's hand.

Her initial fear was immediately relieved.

"Xiao Fan."

While comforting Nuolan, Gu Yifan transferred some spiritual energy to her.

Nuolan held Gu Yifan's hand tightly, remaining silent and quietly awaiting his decision.

Gu Yifan felt he couldn't wait any longer; it would be safer to get back in the car.

But neither Su Huli, who was trembling with fear, nor Nuolan, who was also stunned, could possibly run to the car in the midst of the storm.

so.
"Nolan, listen to me."

Gu Yifan's choice to call her by her name would also help Nuolan regain her senses.

In the darkness, Nuolan could barely make out Gu Yifan's serious expression.

"Wait a minute, you unzip the jacket, and I'll run over with both of you. Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

Gu Yifan's calm voice gave Nuolan a bit of courage, and she hesitated before nodding, "Okay."

Gu Yifan wanted to comfort Su Weiwei, but she remained silent, her arms tightly wrapped around him, and she probably wouldn't let go easily.

Since that's the case, let's get moving.

Gu Yifan's adrenaline surged.

The two women weighed about 200 pounds combined, but he was confident he could carry them to the car.

Gu Yifan's phone kept ringing, but he had no time to answer it and could only ignore it for the time being.

Inside the hospital.

Several doctors are examining Cyndi Wang, who has just woken up.

Lin Wanyu and Meijia stood to the side.

Lin Wanyu's face was pale. She looked down at her phone, which she couldn't reach no matter how many times she tried, and felt extremely worried.

That's it again
The last time I couldn't get through either, even though I clearly told them I had to answer the phone before I left!
Gu Yifan, what are you doing? Are you alright?

Lin Wanyu's knuckles were turning slightly white as she gripped her phone, showing how tightly she was holding it.

Meijia noticed this and grabbed Lin Wanyu's arm to comfort her, "Wanyu, maybe Gu Yifan was in the car and the signal was bad, which is why he didn't answer your call."

"Conserve your battery, he might call you back soon."

Lin Wanyu didn't have a good solution, so she could only nod silently and force a faint smile.

"That must be it. Gu Yifan, that big idiot, isn't answering the phone again. When he gets back, I'm going to give him a good scolding."

Meijia nodded twice, "I'll help you too!"

Despite saying that, it was clearly no use in alleviating Lin Wanyu's anxiety.

Just then, several doctors who were examining Cyndi all turned around to look.

Just as Lin Wanyu and Meijia were confused.

There were several doctors between them.

Leaning against the hospital bed, the frail, beautiful woman turned her small face and asked again in a hoarse voice.

"Sister Wanyu, what happened to Brother Yifan?"

After the doctor's examination, it was confirmed that Cyndi Wang's recovery was going well.

He then instructed Lin Wanyu and the other two not to disturb her too much and to let her rest more before leaving.

After the doctor left, the caregiver also made an excuse to go out.

Only three women remained in the room.

be quiet
Lin Wanyu sat down on the edge of Xinling's bed, hesitant to speak, unsure how to begin.

Xinling, however, smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect that when I woke up, it would be Sister Wanyu and this sister beside me."

"It's great that you've woken up, Xinling," Meijia said happily, not forgetting to introduce herself.

"By the way, my name is Meijia. I'm Wanyu and Gu Yifan's neighbor, and also their friend."

Xinling nodded. "Sister Meijia, I think I heard your voice when I was unconscious."

Mika stuck out her tongue and chuckled, "Then it'll probably be in the afternoon."

Wan Yu also adjusted her mood and smiled at Xin Ling, "It's so good that you woke up. Gu Yifan will definitely be very happy to know."

Mentioning Gu Yifan, Xinling's still somewhat tired eyes brightened, and she asked cautiously.

"I just heard Sister Wanyu say that Brother Yifan didn't come?"

If Xinling could choose the first person she would see upon waking up, that person would definitely be Gu Yifan, but he is not here now.

"He went out to play with his sister," Lin Wanyu said, her smile stiffening slightly.

"I see." Cyndi's pretty face showed obvious disappointment.

Seeing this, Lin Wanyu recalled Xinling's sleep-talking before she woke up, and felt somewhat uncomfortable. Finally, she couldn't help but ask casually.

“Xinling, you seem to care a lot about Gu Yifan. I heard you calling Gu Yifan’s name even before you woke up.”

Even Mika noticed that the atmosphere was starting to get strange.

Quietly prick up your ears.

Eat melon! Eat melon!
Xinling noticed that Lin Wanyu seemed a little jealous. After thinking for a moment, she quietly lowered her head and said, "It's probably because Brother Yifan saved me before I fainted."

"I am very grateful to Brother Yifan, so I remember this in my dreams."

Lin Wanyu asked curiously, "By the way, how did he find you unconscious that day?"

Lin Wanyu hadn't thought of this problem before, but what a coincidence that Xinling was unconscious when Gu Yifan encountered her.

"Oh, I wanted to come to the shopping street to buy something to eat, but as I was walking, my heart started to feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe it was just a coincidence." Xinling didn't mention what she had seen.

Lin Wanyu thought about it and believed what Xinling said.

She wanted to ask Xinling if she had feelings for Gu Yifan, but she was too embarrassed to ask directly.

Xinling, however, seemed to have noticed something.

"Sister Wanyu"

"You're not worried that I like Yifan, are you?"
