Huh?
Shi Yuhui?
I was... in a hospital?
Looking at Shi Yuhui before him, a thought suddenly popped into Shi Tiexin's somewhat muddled and dazed mind: this nurse had seemingly witnessed every one of his decisive growths.
The first time he gained the ability to traverse Worldlines, when he returned from Fengming First High School brimming with ambition, she had been the first person he saw.
The first time he used Burning Core Breakthrough and fought a desperate battle against a Demonic Beast in the void, when he returned from Fengming First High School utterly lost and dejected, she had still been the first person he saw.
For some reason, seeing the familiar hospital surroundings and the familiar Shi Yuhui even gave Shi Tiexin the feeling of "coming home."
It was just that when he returned before, he had been in the lowest-tier recovery drawer, unable even to turn over.
Now, however, he was soaking in high-end nursing fluid.
Their brief clash just now had sent the water in the Medical Pod surging, nearly cracking the pod itself. But with Shi Yuhui present, such a thing was naturally impossible. She had only grabbed at him casually just now and had never expected a counterattack. Now, with her posture unchanged, she clenched her five fingers, and the churning water abruptly froze as every bit of scattered force was completely suppressed.
Shi Yuhui looked at her hand, then at Shi Tiexin, her expression strange. "Interesting. Truly interesting."
A young nurse beside her asked for instructions. "Director, the nursing fluid readings in the Medical Pod have dropped abnormally. Should we have this gentleman come out, or..."
"Why would he come out? Naturally, we replenish the fluid. Bring out the best and most expensive kind. Use however much he needs—this guy has money!"
"Yes."
