Chapter 176: Back in the 23rd Century, Lin Yang

This must be a dream, it must be a dream, how could this happen? When Bai Zhi opened her eyes, she saw a familiar flat ceiling light. Doesn’t the flat ceiling light only exist in the 23rd century?

What was this situation? Bai Zhi breath hard, when a scent of disinfectant entered her nose. She was very familiar in this scent, a scent that only exists in a hospital ward.

This must be a dream, but the feeling was too real that she could feel the flow of the liquid running through her vein via a cold needle.

The next moment, Bai Zhi heard the sound of footsteps. The sounds seemed to be coming towards her. Bai Zhi didn’t dare to move, or more likely, she was afraid to move. She was afraid to be awakened in this dream.

“Professor Bai is so unlucky. How can this one in ten thousand chances happen to her?” A young nurse walked towards Bai Zhi’s bed and looked at the unfinished IV fluid. And then, she recorded it on the patient’s chart.

Another young nurse said in a low voice: “I can tell that this is not just an accident.”

“Not just an accident? What do you mean?” The young nurse stopped writing in the patient’s chart and looked up at the other young nurse.

The young nurse looked around the surroundings. When she confirmed no one was around, she said in a low voice: “I heard that someone deliberately cut off the oxygen tube in the sleeping pod, which led Professor Bai in this brain death condition due to lack of oxygen supply.”

“Is this true? Who could be so wicked to do this? Professor Bai is a very kind person. Although she looked a little stern, she is good for everyone. What more, she was just trying to protect us, that’s why she always make sure we maintain good performance. If she was replaced by those fake professors, they will not defend us. What more, they could even use us as a scapegoat.”

“Who said it’s not true? Didn’t Professor Bai ended up like this? I feel so distressed just by seeing her like this, but we can’t do anything.”

“You are distressed? Who else is more distressed than Professor Lin in this situation? Professor Lin visits here three times a day. If the work at night is not important, he simply stays here. I even once saw him crying while holding Professor Bai’s hand.”

The two continue exchanging words, they only closed their mouth when someone from outside came in: “Professor Lin, you finished the operation so soon?”

A tall man wearing reading glasses walked in and nodded his head to the two young nurses: “Mmm, I just finished the operation.” After he said those words, he walked straight to the hospital bed and looked at Bai Zhi, who was in an ‘unconscious state’. And then, he put the surgical kit on his hand to the bedside cabinet.

“You two can go back to work now, I’ll be here.” The tall man said to the two young nurses.

As the two young nurses hurriedly run away. He turned around and went to the bathroom. He took a shower and replaced his white coat. He put on refreshing and neat clothes, and then sat back near the bed.

At first, Bai Zhi was so scared to open her eyes. But when she did, she found out that she couldn’t open her eyes again. She also couldn’t open her mouth. She couldn’t move at all, as if this body was not her.

Lin Yang picked up a book and sat on the bed. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked outside of the window. The bright moon was covered by the dark clouds, and the trees on the side of the road were swayed by the wind.

Lin Yang muttered to himself: “Is it going to rain?”

Lin Yang turned his head and looked at Bai Zhi: “You, you always hated the rain. I will close the window, so that I don’t need to quarrel with you.”

However, he just stood up, when a young doctor suddenly rushed to him: “Professor Lin, hurry, the dean had a heart attack. He needs urgent surgery. This operation can only be performed by you. The operating room is ready, hurry up!”

  1. Continuously jumping back and forth is cool with me. As long as it isn’t just a dream then everything else is good to go. Lol TG, this has far too many chapters for that kinda story so it’s very unlikely. Thx for the chap guys;)

  2. I don’t know why, but I get the feeling that her coma might have been caused by Lin Yang. We just met him but I get this weird vibe saying he is the only who caused this.

    1. We know it wasn’t an accident and he’s the only named character in the present so far. Who else could we suspect?
      Incidentally, do you ever think there’s something wrong with your and mine ‘guilty until someone else is proven guilty’ mentality? Nah, what am I saying, it’s the natural order of things.

    2. I get the feeling he is Hu Feng in the 23rd century

      I also get the feeling we may get a Wizard of Oz, situation where all the crappy people are also from her life in the 23rd century.
