Walking on the bustling Capital Street, Chen Yu looked at the dense crowd around him and sighed.
He had been to the Capital City in his previous life many times. But there had never been a time when the population was so dense.
Every street, every alley, and every shop was filled with people.
There were people coming and going, all sorts of people, and everything was included.
“If the Beast Tide comes and we can’t hold it back… We’ll be finished.”
“Hello, Sir. We are the grand opening guests of the Holy Martial Arts School.” A girl walked over and handed Chen Yu two small red flags with advertisements on them.
“Thank you.” Chen Yu took the small flags and shook them. He looked back at the girl’s graceful back and smiled,”…Heaven Bless the capital. Beast Tide, don’t come.”
After wandering aimlessly for a few streets, he sat in a noodle shop that was full of customers. He found a corner and shouted, “Boss, give me a bowl of ramen.”
“Okay, wait a moment.”
“Okay.”
Chen Yu put down his backpack and loosened the strap on the motherboard on his back. He took out his phone and searched for the location of the capital’s affiliated hospital.
After eating, he walked around for a while and was ready to go look for Bahuang Yao.
He wanted to see how the other party’s body was recovering and if there were any special adverse reactions.
He needed to observe for a few more days.
After confirming that there were no problems, he would inject his sister.
“It’s time to consider buying a house. Logically speaking, this should be the safest city in the world. The price of a house would definitely not be low. I hope that I have enough money on hand…”
“Here you go! Sir, I pulled some noodles.”
Chen Yu: “…Thank you, it’s so hot.”
“You’re welcome.”
After finishing a bowl of noodles in no time, Chen Yu felt a lot hungrier, so he got up to pay the bill and continued shopping in Beijing.
It was close to noon when he arrived at the hospital affiliated to Beijing University and walked to the information desk.
“Excuse me, is Bahuang Yao being treated here?”
“Let me check.” The doctor entered his name on the computer, pressed enter, and nodded. “Yes. The ICU on the fifth floor. Do you want to visit?”
“Yes.”Chen Yu nodded.
“Take out your ID card. I can apply for it for you. But you’d better contact her chief physician in advance. I’ll send you her phone number…”
After a complicated signing process, Chen Yu received a phone number and immediately dialed it.
Du–
“This is Doctor Chen.”
“Hello, my surname is Chen as well. My name is Chen Shimei.”
“Mr. Chen, what’s the matter?”
“I want to see Qin Xianglian.”
The doctor: “…”
Du–
Putting down his phone, Chen Yu looked at the woman at the information desk. “He hung up.”
“…If you say that, he will definitely hang up!” The woman facepalmed.
Buzz… Buzz… Buzz…
But immediately after, the other party called again.
Chen Yu answered the call and put it to his ear. “I’m Chen Shimei.”
“Mr. Chen, you’re Chen Yu, right?”
“Yes.”
“The Bahuang family has instructed me that if Mr. Chen is here, he can visit Ms. Bahuang Yao.”
“Then I’ll go up.”
“Come up.”
Putting away his phone, Chen Yu lifted his mask and said to the woman, “No one can refuse Chen Shimei.”
The woman: “…”
…
They took the elevator up to the fifth floor.
They stepped into the critical care area.
A doctor in a white coat immediately greeted them and extended his hand. “Hello, I’m Ms. Bahuang Yao’s attending physician. My surname is Chen.”
“Hello. My surname is Chen too.”
“Come with me. I’ll introduce the patient’s current condition to you as well.”
As he walked, Doctor Chen picked up the medical record and handed it to Chen Yu. “The patient’s body is recovering very quickly, and her organs are close to normal. She doesn’t need any life support equipment since last night.”
“Hmm…” Chen Yu pointed at the document. “It says that she’s still in a coma?”
“Yes, she’s still in a coma. But she should be waking up soon.”
“Can I go in and take a look?”
“Yes, but you need to wear a protective clothing.”
“No problem.”
After entering the changing room and changing into a full set of sterile clothing, Chen Yu walked into the ICU of Bhang Yao.
The moment he entered the door, he saw the thin girl.
Eye shadow that looked like flames.
Long red hair.
Soft white fur covered his pale and tender cheeks.
After circling the bed three times, Chen Yu bent down and carefully looked at the young girl’s face. Suddenly, he asked, “Will she wake up with just a kiss?”
Doctor Chen: “…”
“It’s always played like this in television dramas. We can give it a try. It doesn’t matter even if it doesn’t work.”
Doctor Chen: “I… I suggest that you don’t do this. I will call the police.”
Chen Yu: “As the saying goes, a disease should not be treated by doctors. You are saving her.”
Doctor Chen: “I am saving you.”
“Alright.” Smacking his lips, Chen Yu brought over a stool and sat next to the girl. “How did you know that she was going to wake up?”
“Of course, through brain activity.”
“Can I hear it? If I can hear it, then explain. If I can’t hear it, then forget it.”
“It’s very simple.” Doctor Chen nodded and pushed a device over. He took off Chen Yu’s hat and stuck all sorts of probes on Chen Yu’s head. “Your forehead is turning black. You must pay attention to your safety recently.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“When humans hear words with different levels of complexity, different brain electrical activity will appear in the brain. From this, we can determine the level of residual consciousness and predict the time when the patient will wake up.”
As he said this, Doctor Chen finished adjusting the instrument and shouted to Chen Yu, “It’s raining.”
Di–
A group of complicated patterns appeared on the display screen of the instrument.
Then, Doctor Chen shouted again, “Your body is wet.”
Di–
Another group of patterns appeared on the screen.
After comparing the two patterns, Doctor Chen explained, “Look, when you hear ‘it’s raining’ and ‘your body is wet,’ these words, which have nothing to do with each other, show the neural oscillations corresponding to the language structure.”
“Am I thinking about this?” Chen Yu was surprised. “Am I thinking about being drenched on a rainy day?”
“Yes, you can put it that way.”
“Then try it on her body,” Chen Yu urged.
“Okay.” Doctor Chen stuck his probes on Bahuang Yao’s scalp again and whispered in her ear, “It’s raining.”
The device: “Beep beep–”
Doctor Chen: “You’re wet.”
Di–
Two images appeared and Chen Yu realized that they were very similar to his brain activity.
“From this, we can conclude that the patient is already able to associate words. It won’t be long before she wakes up,” Doctor Chen concluded.
“This thing is fun.”
Chen Yu’s eyes lit up and he leaned over to Bahuang Yao’s ear. “You’re wet.”
Di–
Chen Yu: “Your clothes are all transparent.”
The device: “Di di di–”
Chen Yu: “I saw everything.”
The device: “Di di di di–”
Chen Yu: “Heavens, you’re not even wearing your underwear. Everyone can see clearly.”
The device: “Di di — zhi.”
The device was stuck.
As for Bahuang Yao, she slowly opened her eyes.
Chen Yu was surprised. “She’s awake.”
Doctor Chen’s face was filled with black lines. “…”
