On the Ark.

Lin Ye had learned countless such passages in elementary school, memorizing numerous similar texts. However, there's a reason they were chosen for elementary school compositions. Children don't need to understand the harshness of winter or the cruelty of the world like adults; they only need to know that after the cold winter, spring and hope will surely come. And when the warm sun breaks through the winter frost, even adults might have a fleeting moment of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of relief or awe), as if the difficult days are over.

Froststar felt the same way, but her eyes held more confusion: "Sunshine... Spring? I can't remember."

"Can't remember?"

"Hmm, I can't remember."

This put Lin Ye in a difficult position. As darkness drew closer, something suddenly flashed through his mind, and he immediately reached into his pocket, where he found a small object. He took it out and handed it to Froststar.

This is the candy that Frostnova entrusted to someone to give him, and it has now appeared in Frostnova's last moments of consciousness.

"What is this...?" Frostnova felt that it looked familiar, but she couldn't remember what it was.

Lin Ye said, "This is the smell of sunshine."

"The...smell of sunshine?" Froststar still didn't quite understand.

Lin Ye didn't eat the candy, nor did he know what it tasted like. But since it was something Froststar had specially sent him, it must be something Froststar valued highly. He didn't know if this would help Froststar persevere, but he had no other choice. The dream was shrinking faster, and the darkness was engulfing him even more quickly when he mentioned snow. Of course, it was also possible that Froststar's own condition was worsening.

So there was no time to explain; he simply unwrapped the candy and put it into Frostnova's mouth.

Facing Froststar's bewildered gaze, Lin Ye gently touched the back of her head, bringing their foreheads together.

“This is the taste of the sun, Yelena,” Lin Ye said softly. “Feel it well, and persevere. You must persevere. You must not give up before the taste of this candy dissipates… and then, you will see the real sun.”

"The real sun?" Froststar asked. "Can I really see it?"

Darkness had enveloped them, and Lin Ye could feel his body fading away bit by bit; he was about to leave Froststar's consciousness. But while he could walk, Froststar's consciousness couldn't collapse. So he increased the pressure in his hands, causing both of them pain.

The pain also brought Froststar back to her senses, and she finally noticed the darkness that enveloped them like a tidal wave, and panicked.

"Am I...am I going to die?" Froststar asked.

"No, I won't." Lin Ye also felt his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, so he used all his strength to say to Froststar, "You won't die, I promise."

"...But who are you?"

Lin Ye smiled: "Remember what I just said, Yelena."

"I don't know."

"Hold on to your candy." Lin Ye felt countless hands pulling at his body, trying to drag him out of the dream, so he could only do his best to leave Froststar with his last words, "Don't be afraid when darkness comes, hold on to your candy, and when the candy melts, you will see the sun... and me."

Then it was completely swallowed by darkness.

When he opened his eyes, Warfarin's voice was echoing in his ears.

"Hey, Lin Ye! What's going on over there? Don't just stay silent!" Warfarin's voice was a little frantic. "You didn't get blown up, did you?"

Lin Ye immediately snapped out of his daze and replied, "It's still early," before glancing at the time on his phone.

From the moment he entered Frostnova's dream until he left, less than five minutes had passed—an unusually short time, indicating that Frostnova's condition was indeed dire. So, after leaving the dream, he didn't bother answering Warfarin's question; he immediately went to check on Frostnova. However, he had barely raised his head when he froze in shock.

Because Froststar's chest no longer rose and fell.

"This..." Lin Ye's lips trembled slightly.

"Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me?" Warfarin kept asking, "What's going on?"

Lin Ye didn't speak, but his hand was still clasped with Shuangxing's. So he opened his hand and slowly felt Shuangxing's pulse.

His heart sank immediately.

Because there was no reaction at all.

Suddenly, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away, and the hope in his eyes vanished.

It still failed.

Lin Ye felt as if his throat was on fire, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

Warfarin quieted down, probably guessing what had happened. But Lin Ye still heard a soft sigh from the other end of the phone.

That sigh was like a knife plunged into Lin Ye's chest.

Still failed.

Although she knew from the start that the chance of failure was as high as 99%, and the probability of success was less than 1%, and although she had been mentally prepared, when Frostnova's heart actually stopped beating, she still...

Why couldn't you just hold on a little longer?

Lin Ye looked at his phone somewhat blankly, and when he saw the time on the phone again, he suddenly realized something.

Then he slapped himself across the face, forcing himself to pull himself together.

So what if your heart stopped beating? It's not completely over yet!

He hasn't finished all the things he can do yet!

Lin Ye knelt down beside Froststar once again, placing his hand on Froststar's chest while recalling the process of resuscitation.

CPR is only effective if performed within four to six minutes of cardiac arrest. Assuming Froststar's heart stopped immediately after he left the dream world, there is still time. This is his last chance, although Lin Ye doesn't know why Froststar's heart stopped or whether CPR will even work.

But whatever, if he had to find a reason for everything, then he shouldn't have been standing here in the first place.

Chest compressions and artificial respiration.

Even veterinarians can perform these basic actions.

Lin Ye kept repeating it, while shouting in his heart.

The fact that you no longer have a self-destruct reaction means that the "L-type" reagent has taken effect, which means you will not die from Oripathy.

"Then you fucking come back to life!"

Lin Ye couldn't help but roar out in anger.

Then, he felt a slight tremor in his palm.

thump.

Lin Ye's eyes widened as he stared blankly at Froststar's chest. Then, as if possessed, he bent down, pressing his ear tightly against Froststar's body and holding his breath. Then, he heard that faint but undeniably present voice.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Holy crap!" Lin Ye exclaimed excitedly, tears welling up in his eyes. "You actually came back to life!"

"What?" Warfarin, who had been listening quietly on the other side and was thinking about how to comfort Lin Ye, was first stunned, and then immediately became even more excited than Lin Ye. "I...I really came back to life?! Don't lie to me! I'm young, please don't lie to me! Is it really true that I came back to life? Lin Ye, say something! Say something quickly! What happened? Let me see!"

Lin Ye had no time to pay attention to Warfarin; Frostnova's heartbeat was still very weak. To be on the safe side, he didn't stop but continued to perform CPR on Frostnova. About a minute later, Frostnova's heartbeat gradually returned to normal, and Lin Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief, sitting down to the side covered in sweat.

Even though he only performed CPR for a few minutes, Lin Ye felt more tired than running several kilometers.

Then he remembered something, quickly reached into his pocket, and took out the red candy. Seeing Frostnova's breathing gradually stabilize, he couldn't help but smile. He then unwrapped the candy, bent down again, and put it into Frostnova's mouth.

At the same time, Frostnova slowly opened her eyes.

The black eyes and gray pupils met.

Sunlight shone down from behind Lin Ye, casting their shadows on the ground in an intertwined pattern.

Lin Ye gave a tired smile, then said softly, "Welcome back, Yelena."

Froststar's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only use all her strength to hug Lin Ye tightly.

"When you open your eyes, you will see the sun and me."

Froststar slowly closed her eyes, thinking: I have embraced the sun.

"Big sister, big sister!"

At this moment, the Yeti team members arrived late. They searched the rooftops for Frostnova and then witnessed a scene they would never forget.

Under the sunlight.

The ice that seemed unyielding in their hearts was slowly melting. The melting ice and water broke down the sunlight into several primary colors, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

And against this backdrop of primary colors...

It was their eldest sister, who was shirtless and embracing another man.

Author's note: This chapter went through many revisions and took several hours to write. Although I'm still not entirely satisfied, I've finally finished it.

Since this is a 4K long chapter, it counts as one chapter as payment, leaving me with 107 chapters to pay. The event seems to last another week…emmm, I'm really going to be working myself to death to make up for it. By the way, thank you to reader "hgchjgtg" for becoming the ninth "cute master" of this book! Thank you!

Chapter 502 Lin Ye? That name sounds familiar. (3K)

Lin Ye didn't know why, but no matter what he went through, his life always unfolded differently from others.

It was clearly a difficult and arduous process to save Frostnova; the twists and turns of the ordeal could easily be considered a deeply moving story, at least that's what Lin Ye thought, and Frostnova certainly thought so too, otherwise she wouldn't have hugged him so tightly after waking up. This is perfectly normal; a critically ill patient who thought they were beyond saving is pulled back from the brink of death by a doctor at the last moment. It wouldn't be surprising if they were so moved that they knelt down and kowtowed to the doctor on the spot, so a hug is perfectly fine.

If I had to point out a flaw, it would be that Lin Ye forgot to help Shuangxing put on her clothes.

It was normal to have to remove Frostnova's shirt earlier due to treatment; after all, doctors don't see patients as gendered, even veterinarians. However, the Yeti team that suddenly appeared didn't know Lin Ye was a doctor, nor did they know what Lin Ye had done before. They only saw... what they were supposed to see.

That was Lin Ye and Shuang Xing, who was naked... cough cough, not dressed very neatly, embracing each other. From the phone placed to the side, a woman's excited voice kept coming out: "Damn you, Lin Ye! Hurry up and answer me! Stop being intimate with your old flame and take care of business first. Let me see!"

At that moment, the whole world seemed to fall silent, leaving only Warfarin's loud and boisterous voice.

After exchanging glances, the members of the Yeti Squad seemed to understand something, and then retreated in unison with perfect understanding. They had arrived noisily, but left quietly. Soon, only Froststar and Lin Ye remained on the rooftop, but Lin Ye's heart felt as if it had already died.

Fortunately, Skadi and Exusiai didn't see it.

Lin Ye comforted himself in this way.

Froststar calmed down, released Lin Ye, and glanced at her body. Instead of showing any shyness, she appeared slightly surprised. She could feel that the Originium crystals within her body seemed to have decreased significantly. She looked up at Lin Ye and asked, "How did you do that?"

Seeing that she hadn't finished dressing, Lin Ye's lips twitched slightly. He could only bend down and drape her clothes over her shoulders.

Seeing this, Frostnova laughed instead: "You still care about this?"

"Shouldn't I care?" Lin Ye sighed. "Get dressed first, I'll take care of things here, and I'll tell you later."

This naturally refers to Warfarin, who is still making a lot of noise.

Lin Ye picked up the phone, told Warfarin, "I'll talk to you later," and hung up. He then texted Skadi and Exusiai, telling them everything was alright and he could come find them soon before putting his phone away. When he turned around again, Frostnova was already dressed and standing behind him, watching him.

"Um, is it just my imagination?" Lin Ye raised an eyebrow. "Have you suddenly lost weight, or have your clothes suddenly gotten bigger?"

Previously, Froststar's impression on Lin Ye was that she was a tall and voluptuous type. But now she seems to have "shrunk" quite a bit. Her height hasn't shrunk, but her figure looks much thinner, and she can't even fill out the clothes she's wearing.

“That’s what I wanted to ask you too.” Frostnova lowered her head, clutching her chest with her hand, and said softly, “My infection was probably the most severe level. About half a year ago, many parts of my body were already covered with Originium crystals. But now, at least half of the Originium crystals have disappeared. I want to know what happened. Logically speaking, this is absolutely impossible. As far as I know, there shouldn’t be any drug on the market that can do this.”
