We moved to Golden Courtyard

After saying that, the hydraulic rod inside the machine began to pressurize and fix the rear foot, which served as the supporting foot, and the load moved backward in sync. The hands supported the front, just like lifting a jack horizontally.

"What are you saying?! You can't withstand that kind of force, you'll die!"

"914 is my project! How could I allow him to kill someone!?"

The train is approaching. Even without power traction, the train is now traveling at at least 50 km/h – it has to be given a reaction force!

"HK particle coverage, stop right there!!"

"boom!!"

······

"Death won't come for you when you're ready... Xu Qi."

The words spoken in my sleep are clearer than ever before.

However, Xu Qi's own consciousness had become quite chaotic. He wanted to succumb to this, but it seemed as if someone was determined to pull him out of the deep space of consciousness.

Hemostats

"Establish a second intravenous access"

"Xu Qi, hold on, I won't let you just fall asleep like this..."

doctor……

Am I being put on the operating table?

What did I do? Why was I taken to the operating table?

"Dr. Su! The patient's heartbeat has returned!"

"And it's accelerating! This is... a miracle?"

"It's probably not a miracle—it's just that this guy's will to survive is excessively strong."

……

Outside the operating room.

Professor Möbius stood with her arms crossed, and next to her was a woman wearing a magician's hat and a black evening gown, pacing back and forth as if she had just come down from the stage.

"Tsk! I said... can you please shut up for a minute?"

Mebius looked displeased.

"You've been pacing back and forth over there since just now, don't you find it annoying, Vivi?"

"Huh!?" Velvi rushed up to Möbius. "Are you talking about me? If you're so capable, why don't you stop pointing like that with your finger on my arm!?"

"Alright, everyone be quiet."

Kevin's words did quiet the hallway, but the atmosphere... became even heavier.

Where is Alicia?

“She went to take care of Mei.” Sakura leaned against the wall. “The little girl just arrived and couldn’t take the shock and fainted—she really loves Xu Qi.”

"If you have good fortune but don't live to enjoy it, then it's all for nothing."

Qianjie rested his hands on the back of the chair, uttering harsh words, but anyone could feel the anger burning within him.

Kosmo frowned, about to say something, but was stopped by Aponia.

"What Qianjie just wants to say is that Xu Qi doesn't cherish himself enough."

……

"But his choice saved the lives of everyone on the bus." Even now, Kevin still has that icy expression. "No one died, which is undoubtedly a miracle."

It was indeed a miracle, but the price—was equally unbearable.

Kevin's phone suddenly rang—it was Eden.

How is Xu Qi?

An anxious voice came from the phone. Even Eden couldn't maintain his calm and unhurried tone at a time like this.

"Su is undergoing all-out rescue efforts."

"Really... Is everyone here?"

"I sent Fu Hua and Pado back with Gretchen first. The Golden Court can't be left unattended."

"I understand. Let me know as soon as there is any news."

"Hmm...it's still early morning where you are, right?"

"Yes... If Ellie hadn't told me, I'd probably still be sleeping... Let's leave it at that for now, I believe he can pull through."

"Yes, me too."

Kevin hung up the phone as they were talking.

Mebius suddenly said, "Actually, there's no need to worry too much."

Ok?

All eyes turned to the professor.

"This kid tested my drugs for half a year, and well... I have to admit that most of my experimental drugs weren't particularly successful."

Kosmo narrowed his eyes—How dare you bring that up?

"However, the effects of the drug must remain, it's just that they may accumulate in the body and not be apparent. I think... Su should already be aware of this."

Velvi raised an eyebrow; she roughly understood what Möbius was trying to say.

Sakura asked directly, "Realized what?"

"Realizing that this little guy's body—is a bit exaggerated."

······

Six hours later, when Su was stitching up Xu Qi's wound with the last stitch, he couldn't believe how much time had passed.

At this moment, seeing Xu Qi lying unharmed in front of him, Su breathed a sigh of relief.

"You must keep everything you saw in the operating room today strictly confidential, understand?"

"Understood, Dr. Su."

It's really... even if we don't keep it a secret, nobody will believe us if we tell them...

The young nurses looked at Xu Qi, who was lying on the operating table, as if she were a monster.

This guy's vitality is a bit too strong...

The moment the red light turned green, everyone waiting outside the operating room stood up.

When Su and Xu Qi came out together, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It was like a huge boulder falling from my heart, sinking to the ground...

"The surgery was a success. I think... given Xu Qi's recovery ability, he should be able to be discharged from the hospital in about a month."

Chapter 8, After all, I am familiar with Möbius's daily routine.

As Xu Qi gradually regained consciousness, when he opened his eyes, what he saw was not a white ceiling—but pitch black.

Where is this...?

Sensations began to travel from various parts of his body to Xu Qi's brain. In addition to the slight numbness and swelling, there was also a little bit of pain.

The soft touch on my skin was undoubtedly from the bedding, so it seems—I've been rescued?

Yes—he was saved in the operating room.

Xu Qi recalled the words she had heard during her hazy state of consciousness.

It's blurry, but it definitely exists.

It seems it's already night.

Xu Qi tried to move his body—but it was somewhat difficult.

I tried turning my head—and I could do it.

It seems there's nothing wrong with my spine and brain nerves, so how... did I get taken to the operating room?

Memories from before I lost consciousness flooded back like a tidal wave.

He himself... attempted to use the power of the exoskeleton armor to act as the brakes for the subway train.

Did you make it?

Not sure.

All Xu Qi knew was that when the train crashed into him, even though he had made all the necessary preparations, the impact was simply too terrifying.

This was truly like being hit and thrown by a truck.

Even if the exoskeleton armor's force-dissipating mechanism is strong enough, it doesn't mean Xu Qi can operate it like that.

But he survived.

Now I have one more thing to brag about...

Xu Qi thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile—it was as if he had lost his mind to try to stop such a behemoth. Wasn't he just joking?

If I could do it again, I definitely would...

I'll definitely still do it...

Xu Qi suppressed his thoughts and turned his head to try to observe the surrounding situation.

After all, the faint snoring was so close, I was a little curious—who could it be?

If it were a girl, I would definitely pursue her and make her my girlfriend.

The moonlight streaming through the window fell on half of the girl's body, creating a hazy scene that made Xu Qi think for a moment that the person lying on the bedside was a fairy descended from heaven.

Meiyi...

At that moment, Xu Qi himself probably didn't realize how gentle his gaze was.

Perhaps he really should consider accepting the girl's feelings.

Perhaps sensing something, or perhaps because the girl was sleeping in such a position by the head of the bed, she couldn't sleep very soundly. When Mei groggily raised her head, she met Xu Qi's open eyes.

Their eyes met, and Mei couldn't possibly fail to sense the tenderness in Xu Qi's gaze—he likes me…

When such feelings were affirmed, Mei wasn't particularly shy, because everything felt so natural and expected.

Xu Qi certainly likes me, just as I like him...

They met online three years ago and met in real life two years ago.

Mei is beautiful, but she has never accepted a boy's confession. Xu Qi is outstanding, but he has never actively pursued any girl.

They were both waiting... waiting for a relationship that should have ended long ago.

Xu Qi is just too awkward!

And they even said I should at least wait until I'm mature... Do they really think I'm a child?!

"woke up?"

What's the date today?

Her voice was weak and listless, quite different from usual, and a hint of regret flashed in Mei's eyes.

She got up lightly, covered Xu Qi with the blanket, tidied his slightly messy hair, and said softly, "You slept for more than a day on June 8th."

It was described as sleeping, but it was actually more like a coma.

But when I woke up at this moment, even though it was night, I really couldn't feel sleepy at all.

The clock on the wall showed that it was a little past one in the morning.

"That was... quite a long time."

"Next time...please don't do this again, okay?"

Mei held Xu Qi's hands in her hands and lowered her head, perhaps not wanting him to see her red eyes. But how could she hide the sob in her voice?
