```"What's happening?" the woman asked.
"He suddenly fainted in the hall, suspected myocardial infarction. We're still... huh, are you the new Doctor Lou who was transferred here?" said the male doctor.
"Yes, I came to familiarize myself with the environment and heard there was a patient in need of emergency treatment," the woman replied.
Ji Yun stared with dead fish eyes.
For some reason, he felt that the woman in front of him closely resembled the one from television!
Doctor Lou??
Is this Lou Yu???
But she was clearly in the middle of filming a movie!
How could she be a doctor here??
Due to her wearing a mask, Ji Yun could not be 100 percent certain!
However, when the female doctor bent down to examine the condition of his chest, Ji Yun saw the big and round name badge hanging on her!
Lou Yu!
Cardiology Attending Physician!
It really is Sister Lou Yu!!!
Wuwuwuwu!!
Brother needs a hug!!
This time brother truly has a terminal illness!
"Patchy rupture, myocardial ischemia…" The female doctor made a diagnosis while inquiring about the condition from the nurse, "The patient's myocardial injury is severe. Did he engage in any excessive physical activity before this?"
"That's... Oh, I remember now, he seems to be the guy from the Rescue Association who was delivering a donor heart!" a nurse replied.
"Profuse sweating, muscular contraction, severe arrhythmia, probably because he was in a rush and ran all the way here, leading to myocardial infarction once he stopped to rest," the male doctor made his analysis.
"The infarct area is extensive. The patient's myocardial damage is severe. It's likely he already had cardiac issues before, which were triggered by the strenuous exercise, without the patient's awareness. We must not let his heart muscle die, otherwise…" The female doctor made a more precise assessment.
The female doctor glanced at the surrounding medical equipment and suddenly furrowed her brows.
"Why aren't you using a ventilator to assist with breathing?" she questioned.
"The equipment is outdated," whispered the nurse.
"Doctor Lou, should we proceed with thrombolytic therapy?" asked the male doctor, sharing his own idea.
If Doctor Lou hadn't arrived, he would have chosen this method to treat the patient.
"No. The ECG shows characteristic ST segments not elevated… Prepare for bypass surgery!" the female doctor stated confidently.
"Okay!" both the male doctor and the nurse nodded in agreement.
As time ticked away, Ji Yun's eyes remained wide open.
He watched the delicate, focused, and captivating face of the female doctor from up close and recklessly, yet his fish-eye appearance never caught her attention.
Or perhaps she was too focused on saving the patient that she didn't spare a thought to look at her patient.
In ten years, she became a beautiful swan, while he went from a charming young prince to a hapless failure. It wouldn't be surprising if she didn't recognize him.
Huh??
Shouldn't more than 8 minutes—my life's critical time—have passed??
I haven't died immediately?
As expected of the attending physician!
Do I have hope???
Ji Yun's heart couldn't help but stir with excitement.
If really could recover, Ji Yun was willing to be Sister Lou Yu's workhorse, content with just some tender grass occasionally.
"Doctor, the patient's heart rate…" the nurse suddenly called out.
This statement dragged Ji Yun's wonderful fantasy back to reality.
The female doctor showed no expression, but from her eyes, one could feel the helplessness and sadness.
"Doctor Lou, you did your best, the patient he…" the male doctor sighed softly.
The female doctor hadn't given up; she was still trying to resuscitate the patient, but the ECG had already displayed a silent flatline!
"Beep——————————"
"10:20 AM."
"The patient shows no signs of life."
The female doctor's hands suspended in the air, she had witnessed many such scenes as a doctor and had learned how to maintain calm and composed, yet the grief and pain in her heart still spread throughout her body.
If only the patient could have arrived at the hospital sooner, perhaps there would have been a chance for survival.
...
The harsh light had been completely adjusted to by Ji Yun.
Ji Yun didn't even bother to shield himself with his hands.
Throughout the entire rescue process, aside from gazing at the beautiful female doctor, Ji Yun also remained attentive.
He seriously listened to every piece of the doctors' conversation.
When they analyzed his condition, Ji Yun also committed it to memory.
A few years ago, he had a free health checkup where the community doctor had pointed out that he was at risk for heart disease, advising him to quit smoking and drinking, avoid staying up late, and instead adopt an early to bed, early to rise routine with healthy meals three times a day…
After reading the report with a frown, Ji Yun lit a cigarette to ease his nerves, and then to relieve his annoyance, he played video games all night long; hey, at least he didn't stay up late and even ate breakfast!
So does that mean, even with professional medical care, I still couldn't escape death??
Sigh… forget it.
My brain's CPU is about to burn out.
Despite not reviving, the beautiful female doctor snatched an extra 13 minutes from the Grim Reaper!!
Those 13 minutes were crucial.
It meant I could stay longer in the past, do more things!
In this vast campus, so many youths, so many regrets, so much resentment… 20 minutes, it's too exciting!
Should I start with a shocking streak across campus? Make all the boys jealous, all the girls embarrassed??
Oh wait, no, this is a closed loop, there's still ten years later.
What I do now will affect everything in the future, so I can't go overboard, much less give up completely.
"If I tore Lü Jing to shreds and then left a letter for Lou Yu that she can only open in ten years, could she save me?"
"I died because I was delivering a heart, but what if I didn't take that job?"
"If I hadn't run into trouble during the eclipse, would I not have been able to return to the past?"```
"Ah, why think so much, just enjoy the moment!"
Sometimes, when people know they're dreaming, they often don't want to wake up.
That's exactly how Ji Yun felt at the moment, why bother with so many complications.
At least Ji Yun was now filled with curiosity about the 20-minute school life, there were still so many places he hadn't explored!
Of course, in order to maintain the 20 minutes of effect, Ji Yun must tear into Lü Jing, the Crane-cap Red Tea, once more!
Moreover, Ji Yun simply couldn't accept the nauseating drama performances in the school, especially after seeing Lou Yu ten years later, Ji Yun didn't want her past to hold such trauma!
…
Stepping out of the infirmary, Lou Yu clearly had something to say to Ji Yun, even though Ji Yun knew what it was.
"I'm going to go abroad with my dad, and if I ever come back..." Lou Yu whispered.
"That's great, I wish you academic success and a glorious return to Lan City, blinding those classmates who look down on you!" Ji Yun sincerely wished.
The gentle and cautious little Mushroom Head girl...
The Eastern classic beauty doctor, who seemed to have also made a cameo in a well-known film, doubling as a part-time star!
Honestly, Ji Yun had some trouble overlapping the two images.
But when he thought of her dazzling presence ten years later, not a single bit of him wanted to hold her back.
If she stayed, she would still be lonely.
Still tormented by her brainless mother and disgusting stepfather.
There were hardly any classmates who respected her.
As for him and Wu Kai, what could they do as students to help her?
She had a better life ahead, and finally, she could live a peaceful and prosperous life.
"Qiu Mo is probably waiting for you under the tree." Finally, Lou Yu said it. She felt sentimental, but she still managed to force a smile, "You and Wu Kai, you've always been my best family. I wish you success, Brother Ji Yun."
With this departure, Lou Yu didn't know when she could return.
No matter how reluctant she felt.
Besides, Lou Yu knew very well who Ji Yun's true crush was.
That Ji Yun could stand up for her today, she felt no regret at all.
"Goodbye." Lou Yu waved her hand.
Originally, she would have left the school after rehearsal.
Today was her day to say farewell; she had prepared some gifts for the people around her.
"Lou... Lou Yu..." Ji Yun watched her, his heart still rippling.
Lou Yu turned around, lifting her head to look at Ji Yun.
"Let's have a hug."
"Okay!" This time Lou Yu didn't play coy and hugged Ji Yun.
Only, when she felt some wetness on her cheek, Lou Yu's eyes widened, and the little white Mushroom instantly turned into a red Mushroom!
"Sorry, sorry, just a habit..." Ji Yun said, embarrassed.
Why couldn't he control his own mouth!!
The red Mushroom noticed a lot of people around had seen, and in an instant, turned into the Little Demon Mushroom with long legs and fled.
"Good... goodbye, Brother Ji Yun." In the end, Little Demon Mushroom still dropped this phrase.
She left.
She still left.
Ji Yun's heart was missing a piece, just like the sun.
But that didn't stop him from shining brilliantly at the moment!
With the youth music rising in the schoolyard, Ji Yun strode forward fiercely.
The weather was a bit hot.
Time for an ice pop first!
Ji Yun, eating an old ice pop, couldn't help but cast his gaze on the elegant and noble little white deer under the tree.
At such a young age, she showed her grace and intellect vividly, no wonder she still made so many people infatuated at the ten-year reunion, even more obsessed!
Perhaps only Lou Yu, ten years later with all her glamour washed away and the addition of her star and professional boost, could match her charm!
Mmm-hmm, old ice pops are still the best.
The ice cream sold later for ten or twenty bucks, what are those anyway!
"Click!"
"Click-clack!"
A few shutter sounds followed in quick succession.
Ji Yun was waiting for the cool breeze, yet he caught sight of a camera sneakily snapping photos of the elegant deer under the banyan tree from the corner of the snack bar.
If it were ordinary photography, Ji Yun wouldn't mind, but he noticed the photographer repeatedly adjusting the focus.
That feeling was like a pair of eyes, fixated on a particular part of someone else's body!
Ji Yun's expression darkened.
Someone was secretly photographing his White Moonshine!
What did that mean!
Did they file an application!
Luo Yao!
Hmph, it was indeed that scoundrel!!
He should have been harsher before; even Vice Principal Wang couldn't remember his name!
Back in high school, this guy always carried around a fancy camera.
He claimed it was to be the school photographer, a hobby, capturing unique scenery for the school and often received praise from the school leaders.
In fact, he was a repeat offender.
Secretly photographing girls!
And without their consent, developing those photos and hanging them in his bedroom!
An entire wall, full of pictures he took secretly of girls.
Any man knows what things he'd do with them!
Ji Yun only learned about this after graduating from high school, from someone who had fallen out with Luo Yao.
But afterward, Ji Yun rarely contacted his old classmates, and the matter dropped!
