Chapter 43: Sleepwalking?

  As soon as Su Yun returned to the dormitory, she pushed open the door and faced three pairs of bright eyes. She was taken aback for a moment, almost forgetting what had happened earlier. After the scene at noon, the atmosphere in the dormitory had clearly relaxed a bit. Faced with the trio's interrogation, she felt a little helpless and happy, as long as they didn't misunderstand her, it was all good. After explaining the twists and turns one by one, Huang Xiaoyu directly scolded her, saying that she had stepped in dog shit luck, Su Yun bitterly smiled, what kind of dog shit luck was this, even if someone gave it to her, she wouldn't want it!

  It wasn't until several people let her off that she busied herself cleaning up after dinner, and the sky had already darkened. For some reason, Su Yun felt extremely tired, a feeling of exhaustion, yet it was only a little past 7 pm. Not wanting to sleep too early, she could only lie on the bed, flipping through "Spring and Autumn Annals", as she flipped through it, the words in front of her became more and more blurry, and just when she couldn't hold on any longer, Su Yun casually took off her glasses, turned over, and fell fast asleep. What Su Yun never could have imagined was that the scene before her eyes the next day would be so shocking!

  As soon as she opened her eyes, Su Yun saw a roof made up of many square glasses, like the glass top of a greenhouse, and it was very high from the ground. Through the glass, she could see the gray-blue sky, and it had dawned, but where was this place?

  Consciousness slowly returned, and Su Yun suddenly discovered that she was not lying on the bed in her dormitory, but instead lay in an unknown place. She was still wearing a blue long nightgown, barefoot, with mud all over her white feet. Mud?

  Looking around, this seems to be an extremely large greenhouse, as big as a basketball court. It's divided into sections with many plants planted in it. And she was lying right in the center of the greenhouse, with a large area of plants trampled under her body. The morning light wasn't very sufficient, and Su Yin couldn't see the appearance of the plants clearly. But at this time, with her confused mind, she probably didn't have the energy to care about it either.

  Su Yun was stunned, completely unable to react. What could she do? Was she sleepwalking? It was entirely possible, or was she still trapped in her dream? Sitting blankly on the ground, Su Yun thought of all sorts of possibilities.

  At this time, about 100 meters away from the side of the body, the sound of the door being pushed open came, Su's whole body was stiff, and he mechanically turned his head to look. As soon as they met eyes with that person, both parties were very shocked, and that person exclaimed in surprise: "Su?" In the dim light, the girl's pale face looked especially eerie, with a few strands of hair hanging over her forehead, her dazed and tense expression gave people a very nervous feeling.

  However, early in the morning, in the botanical garden of the traditional Chinese medicine department, he suddenly saw a frail girl wearing pajamas sitting on the ground. This was strange enough! Ge Lu approached Su Yin cautiously, his movements slow and gentle, as if afraid of startling her.

  He waited for him to slowly crouch down in front of Su Yin, and the two looked at each other for a long time. Ge Lu found that Su Yin's expression was dull, and her eyes were slightly scattered, which was a manifestation of excessive fright. So he tried his best to ask in a gentle voice: "Is it Su Yin? Tell Brother Lu, how did you come here?" Ge Lu's gentle tone made Su Yin gradually relax, and she subconsciously shook her head, she really didn't understand how she came here.

  Ge Lu's eyes sparkled slightly, and his right hand gently stroked Su Yin's nape and hair as he continued, "How about Su Yin and Brother Lu leave first? The students will be arriving soon."

  Su Yin nodded honestly, and with Ge Lu's support, he slowly got up and walked out. They walked all the way to Ge Lu's private rest room in school, where Ge Lu often did research, so the school had specially assigned him a private rest room. He settled Su Yin on the sofa, not minding that Su Yin curled up into a ball, directly wiping the dirt onto the sofa cover.

  Ge Lu got up and turned on the energy-saving lamp, then went into the small room to make tea. When he came out, he heard Su Yin let out a low cry, and her hands suddenly covered her eyes. He quickly went forward to check, thinking that Su Yin's eyes had been injured. Ge Lu was also anxious, directly reaching out his hand, wanting to pry open Su Yin's hands, but Su Yin was being cautious, dodging and tightly covering them so as not to let him see. Ge Lu couldn't do anything, so he gently coaxed: "Su Yin, your eyes might be hurt, take your hands away and let Brother Lu take a look, okay?"

  Su Yun stopped dodging and covering, only to explain in a low voice: "My eyes are fine, I just can't be exposed to light for too long, it's an old problem. Just turn off the lights and I'll be okay." Ge Lu was taken aback after hearing this. As a doctor with knowledge of both Chinese and Western medicine, and a Ph.D. at that, he instantly ran through all possible diagnoses in his mind. Still, he tried to persuade Su Yun: "Su Yun, look, I'm a doctor. Take your hand away and let me take a look. Who knows, maybe I can help you figure out what's wrong and even cure it!"

  Su Yun's heart skipped a beat, she loathed her own eyes for special reasons, not just because they couldn't see light. If she could cure them, she would really be overjoyed. Ge Lu turned off the energy-saving lamp, and the light dimmed, but it was already possible to see clearly, even though the sun had not yet come out.

  Su Yun slowly released his hands, Ge Lu stared at the face in front of him, and for a moment he was stunned. Until Su Yun closed his eyes tightly and opened them slowly, he was suddenly shocked, hurriedly reciting the Clear Heart Mantra, and slightly averted his gaze. Su Yun only opened his eyes for five seconds before closing them again, asking: "Lu Ge, what did you see?"

  After a while, Ge Lu finally let out a breath and responded with a slightly stiff tone that was almost imperceptible: "Su Yin, when did your eyes... become unable to see light?" Su Yin replied truthfully: "Since I was little."

  Ge Lu carefully stretched out his hand, and with a warm finger, gently touched Su Yin's eyes. He examined them closely, and as soon as he made contact, Su Yin subconsciously stiffened for a moment before relaxing again. The two of them chatted back and forth. Su Yin's face was deathly pale, with a slightly greenish tint, and deep black circles under her eyes. To Ge Lu, it looked like she had suffered damage to her yang energy, and her body was on the verge of collapse.

  "Are you feeling very tired or uncomfortable?" Su Yin was indeed very tired, even more so than yesterday. Since arriving here and saying so many words, it was all the result of Su Yin's efforts to hold on, so she honestly nodded.

  "Alright, why don't you rest here for a bit first? I'll go prepare some equipment and we can do a thorough examination when you wake up. As for the student affairs office, I'll go ask for leave on your behalf. Just take a break for now."

  Su Yun was exhausted, so she nodded in agreement, curled up on the sofa, and fell fast asleep within seconds. Ge Lu smiled and shook his head, fetched a basin of water to help her wipe off the mud from her feet, then took out a spare blanket to carefully cover her body. Standing beside her for a moment, he turned around to pull the curtains tight, then sat down on the opposite sofa, staring at Su Yun as he fell into deep thought. Ge Lu had many doubts, just like Qi Xiu in the past, and even more so.

  He was indeed older than Qixiu, and more knowledgeable, he immediately saw that Su's body system was special, especially those strange eyes, ordinary people couldn't resist its power at all. It was as if it were the Medusa of Western legend! As long as you were looked at, you would turn to stone. The difference was that when being stared at by these eyes, your body wouldn't petrify, but your heart would be instantly captivated and become a puppet under their control. Su didn't understand the benefits and harm, nor did he know how to use it, unintentionally seeing it, had already made it difficult to resist, if someone with ill intentions were to utilize it, the consequences would be unthinkable! Thinking of this layer, Ge Lu's feet felt cold!
