Chapter 66
“Tick-tick-tick-”
The water dripped on the wooden board. In the silent night, the sound was infinitely amplified, becoming extremely noisy and making people uneasy.
It was like there were ten thousand ants crawling around on the wooden board, and it was like densely packed bees buzzing non-stop.
Su Jingyan opened his eyes suddenly, and then stared blankly at the ceiling as if he had no vital signs. His hands and feet were placed neatly on the bed, and the quilt was covered on his chest. Nothing looked out of the ordinary.
But the strange thing was that although he was sleeping, he wore a mask, covering most of his face, and looking as if he was not worried about breathing problems at all.
Su Jingyan’s eyes swept across the room, his eyes were about to burst, and he was panting heavily. After a while, his eyes slowly focused, as if his soul had left his body at that moment.
His heart was still beating violently, as if it would burst out in the next second.
There was a needle inserted into the back of his right hand, injecting fluids. His whole body looked weak and powerless.
He looked around, and saw the huge ward, Bai Deshen. This ward had two beds, but the bed next to him was empty. No one was occupying it yet, and the quilts were neatly folded on top of the bed.
Su Jingyan touched the sweat on his forehead with his left hand. His breathing was still a little rapid, his heart was still frightened, and even though he was covered with a quilt, he still felt a little cold on the soles of his feet.
He had just had a nightmare, one that was particularly scary.
Su Jingyan’s Adam’s apple moved and his throat felt a little dry. The look of fear in his eyes had not faded away, and the hand holding the needle was shaking slightly uncontrollably.
He dreamed for no reason that he turned into Jesus and was tied to the cross by so-called believers.
The believers pierced his wrists and ankles with nails and nailed him to the wooden boards. No matter how much he screamed, the people holding him down continued to carry out the orders without changing their expressions.
In his nightmare, he watched the endless blood flowing out of his wrists and ankles like exploding fireworks, crazily pouring out of his body.
The believers gathered around him in a big circle and knelt in front of him, as if they were having some kind of carnival. They recited spells that he didn’t understand plausibly, their expressions were filled with madness, their eyes were glowing. He felt as if death fell upon him.
Su Jingyan kept crying, but the believers in the dream remained indifferent, as if they could not see his resistance, and continued to perform some mysterious ritual.
Su Jingyan couldn’t see their faces clearly, as if there was some mysterious light covering his eyes. He could only vaguely see the skin of the people around him. They looked as if they were extremely old. They were extremely wrinkled, yellow and thin.
As the spells they recited became faster and faster, Su Jingyan felt that the blood flowing out of his body was also getting faster and faster. His whole body seemed to be weightless, and extremely weak. He felt as his chest tightened, dizziness overwhelmed him, and even wanted to vomit, as if he would faint in the next second.

But…
Su Jingyan lowered his eyes, thinking about the nightmare he had just had, and his originally frightened expression slowly softened.
At the end of the nightmare…
A figure appeared.
A man…
The man suddenly appeared behind the cross and saved him…
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
That voice was still echoing in his ears…
Thinking of this, Su Jingyan’s brain felt a little swollen and painful, and his whole body felt a sense of loss.
Su Jingyan shook his head to stop himself from thinking about these messy things.
He propped his elbows on the bed, slowly sat up, then placed the pillow on his back, leaning on it a little weakly.
But despite this, even though he gasped several times from the moment he woke up to sitting down, he still didn’t take off the mask, as he was ashamed to show his face.
Su Jingyan looked outside the window. It was slightly bright and dawn had just broken.
He withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at the needle on his wrist. The drip was about to be finished.
Su Jingyan’s eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, his eyes changed, and he pulled out the needle tube with ease, then pressed the spot where the needle hole was with the thumb of his left hand, and slowly got up from the hospital bed.
He was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown. The clothes were very clean and looked new. Although the size of the clothes were not large, it still looked empty on Su Jingyan’s skinny body.
Su Jingyan put on cloth slippers and slowly opened the door to the room.
There were still a few night lights on in the corridor outside the door. At the end of the corridor, there was a female nurse sitting on a stool, dedicatedly holding back her sleepiness and watching the night.
As soon as Su Jingyan walked out of the room, he alerted the female nurse who was keeping watch. The female nurse immediately raised her head and then sat upright involuntarily.
The female nurse’s name was Li Ranran. She was young, in her early twenties. She also wore a mask on her face and had a small figure.
Li Ranran didn’t speak, but looked at Su Jingyan a few more times suspiciously, and couldn’t help but think to herself, It’s strange, why are you up so early?
Su Jingyan walked out of the ward without purpose. He didn’t know where he wanted to go. Maybe he hadn’t moved his muscles for too long and wanted to go out for a walk.
“Crack.” The sound of leaves when they get stepped on.
Su Jingyan was startled when he heard the sound, and turned back to see the location of the sound’s source.
When he saw the man’s face clearly, Su Jingyan was slightly stunned for no reason.
The man was also wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown. Unlike the one worn by Su Jingyan, which was obviously very new, the man’s hospital gown seemed to have been washed multiple times and the color was about to fade, making it look very old.
It was not yet bright, and everything around him was still dim. The man stood there with a pale face, slightly far away from Su Jingyan, so Su Jingyan couldn’t see the man clearly.
The moment Su Jingyan turned around, the man stood still, motionless, like a piece of wood stuck in place, without the slightest emotion. His head was also lowered, and his bangs were so long that they blocked the man’s eyes.
It was obviously a frightening scene, since Su Jingyan had just woken up because of a nightmare and went out for a walk.
But for some reason, Su Jingyan didn’t feel the slightest fear at this moment.
His eyelashes swept up and down gently, and he stood silently staring in the direction of the man.
The two of them were like this, looking at each other from a distance in silence for a long time, neither of them spoke, let alone made any unnecessary movements, just like lovers who had met across thousands of years.
Su Jingyan was a little moved, and his eyes trembled.
A cool autumn wind blew, causing Su Jingyan to shiver, shrug his shoulders, and take a breath of cold air.
It was at this moment that the man who was as heavy as a tree suddenly moved his steps, crushing the dead leaves with a “click, click, click” sound, and purposefully approached where Su Jingyan was standing.
When Su Jingyan saw the man coming over, his breathing suffocated slightly, he swallowed, and stared nervously at the man coming over.
The sky was not bright yet, so they could only rely on a few weak street lights to illuminate the surrounding environment.
As the distance gradually narrowed, the man’s face gradually became clearer, and his outline gradually became more three-dimensional.
When the man was only an estimated one hundred meters away from Su Jingyan, Su Jingyan’s brain felt numb and his heart trembled.
Close…
A little closer…
But the man did not take the initiative to speak. When he was only a few meters away from Su Jingyan, he stopped. His dark eyes were as calm as an unfathomable pool of stagnant water, with no ups and downs visible.
“He…Hello?” Su Jingyan paused and raised his head with some restraint. Although his face was blocked by the mask, he could not hide his two thin red ears that were raised due to nervousness.
When the man heard Su Jingyan’s words, he moved his legs and once again took the initiative to close the distance between the two.
“You, are you out for a walk too?” Su Jingyan’s voice was very soft, and there was a slight stutter in his voice. It was not difficult to tell that he was really nervous at this moment.
The man’s mouth moved and his eyes fell on Su Jingyan. The latter felt the man’s hot gaze and his body became more and more tense.
“No.”
“Hm?” Su Jingyan looked at the man with some confusion.
The man’s eyes didn’t blink, he stared intensely at Su Jingyan’s face that was hidden by the mask, and chuckled softly.
When Su Jingyan heard his laughter, the tips of his ears turned even redder, and even his eyes blinked crazily due to nervousness.
“Want to take a walk together?” The man took the initiative to invite.
Su Jingyan’s heart tightened, and then it started beating harder and harder, “Ok, okay.”
Su Jingyan could even clearly hear his own voice trembling.
“My name is Su Jingyan.” Su Jingyan pursed his lips, extremely nervous, and secretly glanced at the man’s face from the corner of her eye.
When the man heard these three words, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes.
“What about you?” Su Jingyan asked nervously.
The man raised his eyebrows and took another step closer. The distance between the two was once again closed, so close that Su Jingyan could clearly see the blood vessels in the man’s neck when he raised his head.
“Lu Yichen.” The man’s voice was hoarse and low.
Hearing these three words, Su Jingyan seemed to be stimulated by something. He suddenly raised his head and his eyes widened. Even wearing a mask could not hide his shock.
Su Jingyan looked into the man’s eyes and dumbly repeated the man’s words, “Lu Yichen…”
The man’s eyes narrowed, staring into Su Jingyan’s eyes, and he frowned slightly.
Maybe Su Jingyan didn’t know it himself, but the man could see clearly that there was an imperceptible black line directly above Su Jingyan’s eyes.
Ah.
This kind of black line…
It only happens when someone lowers their head.
