Chapter 22: Strange Noises

  Like this, he was stunned for a full 30 seconds before Yan Yichen came back to his senses, looking at Xinmeng with a hint of resentment in his eyes, and slowly exhaled, saying: "It seems that family ties can't withstand the test of time. Look at this poisonous tongue, how can I believe that you are still the little dream who used to follow me around when we were young and couldn't be shaken off? The little cute and well-behaved little dream?! After finishing speaking, Yan Yichen covered his forehead and pretended to be deep in thought.

  Silent mutual understanding between two people who share a common dream...

  She's no longer a three-year-old, okay?! And when she was young, if she didn't stay by her older brother's side to keep an eye on him, who knows how much trouble this little brat would get into? It really makes me want to crack open his skull and see if he still remembers who saved him time and time again!

  Xin Meng's eyes looked forward, still with that calm and collected expression, saying: "Oh? Older brother, you said that year the little thief who stole honey was stung by bees all over his head, who saved him along the way? Oh, right, and that year someone fell into the river, who risked their life to jump in and save them? And also......"

  Before she could finish, Yan Yichen cut her off: "Wait! Xiaomeng, why do you still remember these trivial things so clearly?" As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Xinmeng with a very annoyed expression and a face full of grievances.

  Hmph, look at that guy's awkward expression, it can't help but remind me of a classic line, just short of slapping on his forehead "Your Majesty, I'm innocent..." Xinyue couldn't help but think with a hint of amusement.

  Looking back, the last time we met was also such a scene of reckless and abusive language, this feeling... is great! Eh, of course, if we can exclude the fact that my brother was beaten up by Mengying, the world would be even more beautiful...

  At this moment, just chatting and joking with my brother, it feels like I've returned to my childhood, as if it were yesterday that I experienced it, so memorable. Looking back, it's really interesting, raising my eyes, smiling at my brother without a word.

  The next morning,

  Yes, lift your head to gaze at the white clouds floating lazily in the sky, breathe in the fragrance of orchids, then lower your head to look down at the green grass swaying gently in the breeze, close your eyes and quietly enjoy the infinite comfort brought by nature. At this moment, Meng Yan felt refreshed and invigorated.

  Occasionally indulging in 'laziness', lying leisurely on the grass, being carefree and doing nothing, emptying one's mind and letting one's tired body and soul relax. Isn't that a great choice?

  Mengying had a blade of grass in her mouth, humming a happy tune without a care, her eyes closed tightly as she listened quietly to the whispers left behind by the wind. She was savoring the serenity of this moment. At this instant, there were no worries about plagiarism, nor any guilt that Xinmeng felt deep down inside. It was just pure enjoyment of nature's beauty. Very comfortable, very pleasant.

  It was broad daylight, so Liu Mengying didn't dare to go near the hospital. The reason was simple: avoid trouble and escape embarrassment. These days, she hadn't even shown her face, afraid of getting entangled in more troublesome things. After all, Xinmeng was still there, and the matter of his pirated software was still unresolved. She would just wait for an opportunity to swallow her pride and resolve this matter before doing anything else.

  So, Liu Mengying can only rush over at night to act as a caregiver. Although the pirated insect has a responsible and dutiful caregiver, every time Mengying goes there, she will sprinkle a "medicine" powder on it, making it dizzy... But that is absolutely green, healthy, and purely natural medicine. It's worth knowing that it's Liu Mengying's carefully crafted exclusive secret recipe~ If put on the market, it would be the first choice for household essentials, the overlord of the market source!

  To say the least, his recovery ability is really beyond human reach. Just look at those injuries on his body that seem to be so severe that they are almost fatal, and yet they are slowly healing at an astonishing speed. Despite being injured so badly, he can still chat with others as if nothing had happened, which shows how extraordinary he is.

  The hospital, a place with an eerie and terrifying atmosphere, yet with a hint of the sacred that cannot be violated, shone with an eerie aura in the darkness. When the bright moonlight flashed a blood-red glow, it seemed to indicate that this night would be even more unusual.

  In another month of dark winds and murderous nights, these days, the hospital side has reduced the flow of people by more than half, without seeing the crowded crowds of the past, but rather sparse and cold. The reason is none other than the extremely bizarre thing that has been circulating in recent days.

  The long corridor of the hospital, at a glance, the long passage under the refraction of the moonlight appears even more gloomy, from time to time accompanied by the howling of the wind, making people's back cold sweat flow.

  In a duty room located on the dimly lit hospital corridor, several female nurses were whispering to each other. Normally, it would be nothing out of the ordinary for them to gossip together. However, at this moment, as they huddled together, exchanging whispers and glances, they seemed to be wary of something. Their pale faces would occasionally turn to look around, cautiously sticking their heads out to take a peek.

  In an instant, a gust of "yin" wind swept in, and everyone was startled. At this moment, they recalled the terrifying gossip that had been circulating in the hospital recently, and everyone was even more frightened, with cold sweat dripping down their faces.

  "Hey... Alan, do you think they're fooling us? I feel like we three are being outsmarted by that group of women. The gust of wind that just passed by gave me a chilling feeling."

  "What's there to be afraid of, Ah Ling? If that group of dead women dare to bully us, we'll settle the score with them as soon as we get through tonight. Besides, if you're willing to gamble, I'm not one to lose. " said a reckless Ah Lan, seemingly not taking the group of women she mentioned or the gloomy atmosphere here seriously.

  The girl, trembling with fear in the corner, said: "That... Lan sister, Ling sister, why don't we leave now? Winning or losing doesn't matter. They all say that there's something unclean here." As she spoke, her big, watery eyes occasionally glanced out the window at the dark and extended corridor. Her pitiful and delicate appearance couldn't help but evoke a strong desire to protect her.

  "Nonsense, what are you talking about? It's already the 21st century now. Do you still believe in those superstitions? Those old wives' tales can only deceive a little girl like you." The woman known as Lan Jie said with a chuckle, putting her arm around the thin shoulders of the girl who was hiding in the corner, sensing the fear in her eyes.

  Can't be bad laughter? The morgue at night came the so-called crying sound, do you believe it? Hehe, I don't believe it.

  Lan Jie had just thought of this, but in the next second, something very unbelievable happened.

  "Thud!" Suddenly, a very strange sound came from outside the corridor, as if something heavy had fallen and made contact with the ground, producing a huge noise.

  The three of them were startled by the sudden noise, and their faces turned pale with fear. They looked at each other, and saw the terror in each other's eyes. If this had happened on a normal day, they would have probably teased and gossiped about it, but... This building was empty except for their duty room, so where did the falling sound come from?
