Emily had been silently chanting the name of Bai Yi in her heart. With her eyes closed, she did not notice that the tears on her hand had been miraculously absorbed by the ring. The ring began to emit a weak light.
When Emily opened her eyes again, she finally saw the oasis and the big tree that she had been longing for. Emily smiled and began to call out loudly, “Bai Yi, Bai Yi, where are you?”
Emily waited for a while, but there was still no sign of Bai Yi. It shouldn’t be. In the past, whenever she came in, Bai Yi would appear the moment she opened her eyes.
Emily closed her eyes and silently chanted the storage room in her heart. Emily’s figure instantly shifted and arrived at the door of the storage room. Emily pushed the door open and entered, but there was still no sign of Bai Yi.
“Bai Yi, where are you exactly? Don’t hide from me.” As Emily spoke, her tears began to flow. She was really afraid, afraid that she would never see Bai Yi again.
“Bai Yi! Bai Yi!” Emily did not give up and shouted loudly. She repeated it again and again, hoping that someone would respond to her.
“Don’t, don’t shout. I just slept. I’m still very sleepy.” A voice appeared in Emily’s mind. Before she could react, she felt her body being pulled. Then, she appeared in another space that she had never seen before.
It was like a bedroom. The interior was antique. Even the furniture inside was dark brown wood. The bed was covered by a bed curtain, and a vague figure could be seen inside.
“Bai Yi?” Emily called the name of Bai Yi softly. She was a little afraid. Did this bring her into some strange space again? Was the person on the bed Bai Yi?
“What’s wrong with you? I just took a nap and you are so anxious. Could it be that you were bullied?”
The voice of Bai Yi came from behind the bed curtain. Hearing this familiar voice, Emily felt like crying again.
“I called you for a few days, but you ignored me. I thought that in the future… I would never see you again.”
As Emily spoke, her tears started to fall. She was extremely pitiful. She quickly walked forward and tried to pull open the bed curtains, but was stopped by Bai Yi.
“Don’t move!” Bai Yi’s voice was very urgent and nervous. There was a hint of panic, but it quickly returned to normal. “Millie, I’m sleeping here. Am I still wearing clothes when I sleep? I don’t want you to see me naked.”
“Bai Yi, you really can sleep well. I called you for a few days, but you ignored me. And these few days, I couldn’t even enter the space. You really scared me to death. And these few days, I was also injured. I thought it was because I was injured that I couldn’t enter the space. You don’t know that…”
“Alright, Millie. I know what happened to you these few days. It’s just that I’ve been feeling too tired recently. I want to sleep well. When I wake up, I’ll call you in, okay?”
Bai Yi interrupted Emily’s words, and Emily’s frown became even more serious. After not seeing her for so many days, could it be that Bai Yi did not want to see her?
Emily stared intently at the figure behind the bed curtain. Seeing Bai Yi supporting herself with her arm while sitting on the bed, and the sleeves that could be vaguely seen on her hand, Emily felt even stranger. Didn’t Bai Yi just say that she was naked?
“No, you don’t know how much I’ve missed you these few days,” Emily said willfully. Then, she quickly reached out and lifted the bed curtain. Looking at the appearance of Bai Yi, Emily was stunned.
“Bai Yi, what’s wrong with you? Why are you covered in blood? Who hurt you?” Emily pounced on the side of the bed and looked at the wounds on Bai Yi. There was no color on her face at all. Emily was so anxious that she was about to cry.
“Wait for me. I’ll go out and get some medicine for you to bandage.” As Emily spoke, she was about to leave the space, but was stopped by Bai Yi.
Bai Yi sighed. “There’s no need. Ordinary medicine won’t have any effect on me. I’ll sleep for a few days and my injuries will naturally heal.”
Emily wanted to stretch out her hand to see how serious Bai Yi’s injuries were. Just as she was about to touch the wounds, Emily’s hand began to tremble. She was at a loss. Bai Yi was such a powerful person… What kind of person could hurt her like this?
