My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

199 The Location of Cold Blue

The sky was dark that day, and raindrops poured down onto the city ground...

I'm sorry, I still find writing this kind of literary stuff too difficult. I guess I should just go back to our usual narrative style.

Leng Yihan sat on the subway seat, listlessly looking at the scenery outside the window. He liked rainy days; at this time, it seemed that there were fewer people in the city, and listening to the sound of raindrops pattering on the ground was really comforting.

"We are about to arrive at Jinshan City Center Station. Passengers, please gather your luggage and disembark in an orderly manner..." Upon hearing the announcement, Leng Yihan picked up her backpack from the ground, got up, and walked to the train door to wait for the subway to arrive.

Although there weren't many people on the street, the subway was packed. As soon as Leng Yihan left her seat, someone else took it. With the doors opening, Leng Yihan followed the flow of people out of the carriage.

Leaving the subway station, Leng Yihan opened her umbrella and strolled in the rain, still with that listless look in her eyes. Anyone who didn't know her would think she was completely exhausted.

As she turned a corner, Leng Yihan stopped in front of a restaurant on the corner. It was a breakfast shop, and it was eight o'clock at the time. There was no doubt that Leng Yihan had come here to have breakfast.

"Ding-dong..." After Leng Yihan pushed open the door, the small clock hanging on the door rang, indicating that someone had entered the store. Immediately, a waiter came up to greet her, "Excuse me... is this guest alone?" The waiter had a professional smile on his face.

“Someone is waiting for me, thank you,” Leng Yihan replied, glancing around the first floor but finding no one there. Clearly, the person waiting for him was on the second floor.

Well... after all, Xiao Yulin probably doesn't like being crammed on the first floor with so many people.

Although it's a breakfast shop located on a street corner, it's not the busiest time in the morning. Everyone is rushing to work or school at that time, so they don't have time to stop and enjoy their lunch here.

After confirming that the person he was looking for wasn't on the first floor, Leng Yihan went up the stairs next to the counter to the second floor. The second floor had far fewer people than the first floor. The person he was looking for was sitting by a huge floor-to-ceiling window, where two girls who looked alike, one big and one small, were eating breakfast in perfect sync.

If it were someone else, they might not have disrupted this harmonious scene, but Leng Yihan was in a great hurry and didn't have time to care about anything else. She walked over, put her backpack in the seat, and sat down without any ceremony. She picked up the breakfast in front of her and started eating.

"...They really aren't polite at all. They came over without even saying hello and just sat down to eat the breakfast we bought." Xiao Yulin said politely after swallowing the food in her mouth.

"Then why would a young lady like you come here for breakfast..." Leng Yihan rolled her eyes, chewing on something, and mumbled, "If it were at your house, I would definitely say hello, right?"

"First of all, I'm tired of eating at home, so I came here for breakfast. Secondly, who said a young lady can't eat here? Finally, what do your words have to do with the question I asked you?"

Xiao Yulin said irritably. Kang Meng, who was standing next to him, paused slightly when she saw Leng Yihan arrive, and then pretended not to see him and continued eating her breakfast.

"Didn't I tell you? I would have said hello if it were at your house," Leng Yihan said, snatching the last fried dough stick under Kang Meng's resentful gaze.

"So you don't need it elsewhere?!" Xiao Yulin.

"Okay, okay... I'm sorry, I was too hasty. So, what about Binglan? How is she now?" Leng Yihan didn't want to dwell on this topic for too long, so she quickly asked.

"Don't worry, with Kang Meng's help, Leng Binglan has recovered quite well, but there's still no sign of her waking up... However, it's confirmed that she will definitely wake up, so don't worry." Xiao Yulin's words relieved Leng Yihan's anxiety a little, but it wasn't over yet; there was still a long way to go, and that long way...

"Where is Lin Yin? Has Lin Yin been found...?" Leng Yihan asked nervously, pursing her lips. "Hmph, are you underestimating me?" Xiao Yulin was full of confidence as she picked up her soy milk and took a sip.

"Well?! Did you find it?!" Upon hearing this news, Leng Yihan felt a weight lift from her heart and asked with a mixture of surprise and joy.

“Yes, these people have become increasingly arrogant lately. It would be strange if they didn’t expose themselves. They have already contacted the only supernatural forces left in our country and used some relatively new weapons. Whether you can rescue them or not will depend on you, Leng Yihan—” Xiao Yulin finished speaking and took another bite of shrimp dumpling.

“…Okay, then when shall we go see Binglan…” Leng Yihan.

"Come with me after you finish breakfast."

-

"So we're going to take a helicopter?! And a private helicopter, for crying out loud!" After hearing two pieces of relatively good news, Leng Yihan's mood improved considerably, and her sarcastic side returned.

"There's nothing we can do... That place is rather special; it's at sea, and there's no signal in most places except where we're headed..." Xiao Yulin.

"Huh? At sea? Sea turtle?" Leng Yihan immediately thought of a certain long-ago anime.

"It's not some divine realm... Actually, this place has existed for a long time, it's just that it hasn't been announced yet. Oh, and of course, Leng Binglan didn't undergo any strange game tests, and her agility wasn't locked in the game." Xiao Yulin.

"But I still ended up using this meme myself!" Leng Yihan complained as he settled into one of the few seats on the helicopter and closed his eyes to rest. He had no idea how long the flight would last.

Anyway, he had a good sleep. When he woke up, he was shaken awake by Xiao Yulin's personal maid, Kang Meng. They had already arrived at that place.

A temple that looked like it was built in the middle of the ocean appeared in front of Leng Yihan. If it weren't for the high-tech machinery on it reminding her that it was a modern product, Leng Yihan would have thought it was some ancient ruin.

"Follow me." Xiao Yulin led the way. Although there were people checking along the way, they were not stopped. Finally, Leng Yihan stopped in front of a large gate with three big characters on it: Medical Area.

"Nine out of ten patients who can get here have powerful connections. It took me a lot of effort to get Leng Binglan here." Xiao Yulin said, as if to say, "I went to so much trouble to get Leng Binglan here, and you treat me so rudely."

“…Thank you.” Leng Yihan looked away a little embarrassed. Xiao Yulin didn’t intend to pursue the matter and let Leng Yihan go, then led the way.

"Speaking of which... are they really that trusting of us?" Leng Yihan suddenly remembered this. Aren't they afraid that they might sabotage us?

"Hmph... It's not that simple." Xiao Yulin snorted coldly, not saying much. Kang Meng hadn't said a word to Leng Yihan either, seemingly... angry?

The three of them didn't exchange many words along the way, but soon Xiao Yulin stopped in front of an iron gate, took out the card that a guard had given her earlier, and swiped it on the scanner at the gate.

"Let's go, Leng Binglan is inside..."

200 Awakening

Xiao Yulin opened the door and let Leng Yihan go in first. Leng Yihan did not refuse and went in immediately. There were many instruments in the ward, and it was obviously a single ward. Leng Binglan was lying on the bed in the middle of the ward.

“Binglan…” Leng Yihan’s heart was breaking. If she had reacted faster and been in better physical condition, Binglan wouldn’t have been caught out and wouldn’t have been injured so badly…

“Her physical condition has recovered very well now. In addition, her special constitution makes her recovery very fast. As soon as she wakes up, she can move around normally.” Kang Meng suddenly said and walked to Leng Binglan’s side.

Leng Binglan lay on the bed, her eyes gently closed. Her delicate face and snow-white skin made her look like a doll, rather than a human.

"By the way, Kang Meng deserves a lot of credit for this," Xiao Yulin interjected. "Originally, Leng Binglan might not have recovered so well, but we don't know what technology Kang Meng used. However, thanks to her technology, which is beyond our understanding, Leng Binglan was able to get here."

"...Is this the help Kang Meng provided that you were talking about..." Leng Yihan said softly, "But when will Binglan wake up...?"

……

Will she remain unconscious indefinitely...?

He will never wake up, he will be bedridden forever... a vegetable...

No, that's not right. What am I thinking? Let me think about it another way. Is there anything I can do to help Leng Binglan...?

Leng Yihan sat on the stool next to the hospital bed, looking at Leng Binglan without saying a word, her mind racing.

"Do you need some time alone?" Xiao Yulin asked.

"...Is there surveillance here?" Leng Yihan asked without looking up.

"Don't worry, there are no surveillance cameras in the ward." Xiao Yulin said, then suddenly remembered something and smiled wickedly.

"...What on earth are you thinking about?" Leng Yihan narrowed her eyes, looking at Xiao Yulin's mischievous grin.

"No, no~ I'll go out first and wait for you at the door~" Xiao Yulin said as she walked towards the door, but Kang Meng showed no intention of leaving.

“I want to stay here and watch over her.” Kang Meng looked up and stared at Leng Yihan. “I’m worried about you.”

“…” Leng Yihan glanced at Kang Meng speechlessly, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the three of them came from the same world, even though he had lost his original memories…

Since that's the case, there's nothing to hide anymore, right? We all come from the same world... But why did he only show me the story after he met Leng Binglan and before he met Lu Youmei? Is he trying to hide something...?

After watching Xiao Yulin leave the room, Leng Yihan remained silent for a few seconds before speaking first: "Your original name... was it Kangda Ximeng?"

“People usually think this name sounds weird, so I simply simplified it to two characters,” Kang Meng said.

It's basically the default setting...

"...Do you know Bai Xiuyue?" Leng Yihan asked again, and Kang Meng rolled her eyes at him without saying anything.

Okay... I asked a really silly question...

"What exactly do you want to ask? Stop beating around the bush, okay?" Kang Meng spoke first, seeing Leng Yihan's hesitant expression.

"..." It's not that I'm hesitant, it's that I don't know how to ask the right question!

"Um... in your memory, what's the difference between Bai Xiuyue and the original Leng Yihan?" Leng Yihan didn't expect that after he said this, Kang Meng's eyebrows would twitch unconsciously.

"She told you everything?" Kang Meng was naturally referring to whether Leng Binglan had told her.

"I found out through some methods myself," Leng Yihan said without changing her expression. So far, it seems that no one knows about Leng Yihan and Lu Youmei's relationship, so... Leng Yihan doesn't plan to reveal this matter for the time being.

"...In my memory, Yi Han was a bit of a flirt, sweet-talking, and likes to show off, but she was also a perfect person. After she became Bai Xiuyue, she wasn't so flirtatious anymore, and she treated us like ordinary best friends..." Kang Meng said, a hint of regret clearly showing on her face, followed by sadness.

"I'm sorry, I didn't inherit those perfect attributes..." Leng Yihan thought to herself, without saying it aloud.

"But her stubbornness hasn't changed at all... what about defending Wuling to the death... didn't she still fail in the end, and was betrayed by that bitch Ning Yue'er again... what a joke..." Kang Meng said, clutching her clothes tightly, unwilling to accept it.

"Did you... see Bai Xiuyue's battle with the Demon King...?" Leng Yihan asked after thinking for a moment.

What exactly is the relationship between Lu Youmei and the Demon King...? Before, she seemed to be in cahoots with the Demon King, even sacrificing herself to save him, so why are they now at each other's throats...?

"Yes, I probably will never forget it for the rest of my life. It was so terrifying. The two of them were the main characters in that battle. It's a pity that Xiu Yue lost in the end. If it weren't for Bing Lan, no one knows what would have happened to her at that time..." Kang Meng.

"Was it very intense..." Leng Yihan fell into deep thought. What exactly happened...?

...Forget it, let's not think about this too much for now. Let's give it a try and see if we can awaken Leng Binglan or something.

After hesitating for a moment, Leng Yihan stood up and kissed Leng Binglan. Their lips met, and Kang Meng's lips visibly widened as well.

"...It didn't work?" Leng Yihan looked at Leng Binglan, who was still asleep, and felt a little helpless.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! What are you doing?! What right do you have to kiss her?!" Kang Meng suddenly stood up, her pretty face flushed as she pointed at Leng Yihan.

"Huh? Why not..." Leng Yihan glanced up at Kang Meng, her head full of questions.

“Tch…you’re not him at all. You’re the kind of person who can’t compare to him—” Kang Meng said through gritted teeth.

"Is that so..." Leng Yihan hesitated for a moment, then sat down and pondered what other options there might be.

"...Hexagram, right, hexagram, they've all mentioned it, maybe we can think of a way to achieve that..." Leng Yihan remembered that Tianyue and 'Leng Yihan' had both said that Leng Binglan was a hexagram... although 'Leng Yihan' hadn't said it out loud.

With a "nothing to lose" mentality, Leng Yihan grabbed Leng Binglan's left hand and stuck the six-pointed star mark from her own left hand onto it.

No response.

After waiting for more than ten seconds without any response, Leng Yihan sighed and tried to pull her hand back, but...

It can't be removed.

"Huh?" Leng Yihan exclaimed in surprise.

"What are you doing..." Kang Meng looked at Leng Yihan's actions and knew that he was trying to awaken Leng Binglan, but she didn't think Leng Yihan could awaken her at all, and felt a strange sense of discrimination against Leng Yihan...

“My hand… I can’t pull it back…” Leng Yihan said softly, her expression complicated.

"Huh?" Kang Meng looked incredulous. She walked to Leng Yihan's side, grabbed Leng Yihan's and Leng Binglan's clasped hands, and tried to separate them, but... no, they were back to back, but Kang Meng just couldn't separate them.

"What's going on?" Kang Meng was also confused, not knowing what was happening.

Then, after so much time had passed, the reaction finally came... A faint golden light suddenly appeared on the backs of Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan's hands, which were touching, and it grew brighter and brighter until the two of them could no longer open their eyes and could only close them.

"Bam—"

There was a sound like something was breaking. After more than ten seconds, Leng Yihan was able to open his eyes. By then, his hands had been separated.
