Shen Wei had seen many sides of Li Yue Shu.
Her gentleness with children, her patience with patients, her decisiveness with the Shen family, her ferocity with assassins...
No matter the situation, she was always so vibrant and strong. Never had she been like this, so weak she seemed to have only a breath left.
Looking at the person in his arms, Shen Wei felt a dense ache in his chest.
Xing He said he liked Li Yue Shu.
He must have liked her!
After all, for the past two days, he had been constantly afraid, afraid she would never open her eyes again, afraid he wouldn't even have a chance to apologize to her.
Shen Wei sighed softly, his voice hoarse. "A Shu, you must wake up. I'm still waiting for you to settle the score about what I lied to you about..."
At this moment, Li Yue Shu was completely unaware of what was happening around her. She seemed to be in a forest.
Li Yue Shu looked down. The clothes she was wearing hadn't changed, but where was this?
Li Yue Shu walked forward blankly, inexplicably feeling that this place was somewhat familiar.
Just then, she suddenly saw a child not far away, with his back to her.
She walked forward curiously and saw the child's face.
In an instant, Li Yue Shu's eyes widened in shock.
It was a girl about ten years old, and that face was unmistakably her own childhood appearance!
Distant memories suddenly surged, and Li Yue Shu frowned subconsciously.
She remembered. This should be a tropical rainforest in her original world.
Back then, she, Xiao Yu, and other children of similar age were sent here by the organization for training. They experienced countless life-and-death situations before finally gaining the organization's recognition.
But what was going on now?
As Li Yue Shu was wondering, she saw little Yue Shu look up at her.
Her heart jumped. "You can see me?"
Little Yue Shu pursed her lips and suddenly said with determination, "When I die, I will definitely find you. You must remember me!"
Her nonsensical words made Li Yue Shu even more confused. She couldn't help but bend down and wave her hand in front of little Yue Shu.
But little Yue Shu's gaze did not follow her movement; it remained fixed on the spot where she had been looking earlier.
Seeing this, Li Yue Shu subconsciously followed her line of sight, but besides the two of them, there was no third figure around.
What was happening?
Li Yue Shu felt a very strange sensation, but she couldn't describe it in words.
Just then, a suction force suddenly came, and the scene before Li Yue Shu instantly disappeared.
The headache returned, but it was much better than the last time.
Li Yue Shu slowly opened her eyes, and the scene in front of her gradually shifted from blurry to clear.
Where was she this time?
Li Yue Shu moved, clearly feeling the stiffness in her body.
After a while, she slowly sat up from the ground.
The next moment, her hand seemed to touch something scorching hot.
She looked instinctively and saw Shen Wei lying beside her, his face flushed red, his clothes in tatters, and his exposed skin an abnormal crimson.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly patted Shen Wei's shoulder. "Wake up, Shen Wei? Can you hear me?"
She called out a few times, but Shen Wei only furrowed his brows more tightly, offering no other response.
The heat from her palm clearly indicated he had a fever.
Without time to think, Li Yue Shu quickly checked Shen Wei's condition.
Upon closer inspection, Li Yue Shu discovered that besides some old scars, there were countless new wounds of various sizes. Some were left by the attackers' weapons, but more were from being scratched by things in the water after falling into the whirlpool.
Especially the cut that ran across most of his back had clearly become inflamed and festered, a condition that would be life-threatening in this world.
Li Yue Shu looked around and found that they were in a natural cave.
Neatly arranged dry grass beneath them, scattered fruits by their feet, a burnt-out fire pit nearby, and an empty medicine bottle...
Li Yue Shu picked up the medicine bottle and sniffed it. She knew what it had originally contained.
She looked at the unconscious Shen Wei in surprise, her heart feeling as if it had been struck hard.
There was no sign of any medicine applied to his body, so this medicinal balm was...
Thinking of something, Li Yue Shu subconsciously touched her aching left temple and looked at Shen Wei with a complex gaze.
She tightened her grip on the medicine bottle, then pulled Shen Wei, and entered the space.
Suddenly shifting from sitting to standing, Li Yue Shu almost fell to the ground, her legs weak.
She quickly grabbed onto something beside her, and happened to grasp Shen Wei's arm as he lay on the experimental table, thus steadying herself.
The grip of her hand was not small. For Shen Wei, who was naturally vigilant, his subconscious mind struggled to wake up even in this state.
Li Yue Shu didn't notice his movement. After a while, her vision stopped swimming.
She quickly turned around, opened a nearby drawer, and took out the necessary items.
The moment she turned, Shen Wei on the experimental table vaguely opened his eyes.
A clean white room, strange objects...
This place looked so familiar?
Shen Wei's mind was like mush; he couldn't remember anything.
He vaguely turned his head and saw a figure some distance away, with his back to him.
A Shu?
She was awake?
Right, this seemed to be her secret.
That's great, then she would be alright...
As if a heavy stone in his heart had finally fallen away, Shen Wei's consciousness completely plunged into darkness.
Li Yue Shu turned around just then, so she naturally didn't see him wake up.
She took out the syringes and administered two injections of anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medicine to Shen Wei, then treated his various wounds, and finally hung an IV drip.
After finishing, she finally let out a sigh of relief and almost collapsed onto a nearby chair.
So tired!
So hungry!
She hadn't felt this weak in a long time.
Li Yue Shu quickly hung an IV drip for herself and also grabbed some food from the small kitchen.
She thanked Xiao Yu again for her foresight in setting up a small kitchen in her laboratory!
As Li Yue Shu relaxed, chewing the food in her mouth, she thought about the two dreams she had while unconscious.
She found the second dream baffling. She didn't have any related memories at all and couldn't understand the meaning of that sentence.
As for the first dream, if it were true...
A worried expression appeared on Li Yue Shu's face.
When it was just the two of them, she and Xiao Yu had discussed destroying the organization more than once.
But they both knew very well that with their strength alone, the best outcome would be to perish with the organization.
Being buried with the organization was clearly not a worthwhile endeavor, so they only thought about it.
But now Xiao Yu was planning this alone!
And what did her sentence, "Make the one who harmed you pay with their life," mean?
Could it be that her death was not caused by an explosion from an experimental mishap?
Li Yue Shu's frown deepened, and the pain in her injured head grew worse.
Suddenly, a sound in the silent space pulled her thoughts back.
