He could see that her physical strength could no longer support her. She was gasping for air, her face was red, and she seemed to be injured somewhere, and her steps were a little staggering!
Whether it was a dream or reality, he was not allowed to see her injured or even in danger of her life.
He tried to step over, but found that the white light was like a transparent wall, blocking him and making it impossible for him to pass.
The place where he is and the primitive forest on the other side of the white light seem to be two spaces. They can only be seen, but they have clear barriers!
I hit it hard several times, but still couldn't get past it.
On the other hand, I saw Su Mi on the other side of the white light, who seemed to be exhausted and hurt, standing still in despair.
Let the mudslide not far behind him come overwhelming.
He couldn't pass by, so he could only call her name loudly:
"Mimi!"
On the other side of the white light, Su Mi could hear his voice and was stunned. When she saw him following the sound, she was shocked.
He stretched out his hand to indicate that he was here:
"Run quickly! Don't be afraid! I'm here!"
She came back to her senses, finally sniffed, and calmed down.
Then, he bit his lips, mustered up his last strength and continued to run towards himself.
He kept cheering her up, and at the last moment, when she was watching a mudslide about to hit her back, one of her feet leaped into the white light——
He stretched out his hand, trying to grab her fingertips and pull her over. In an instant, the white light disappeared with her!
He woke up.
His heart was beating with a bad feeling.
Where is Su Mi in the dream?
I don’t know if you escaped that mudslide?
If not…
His heart was beating fast. He rolled out of bed, put on his shirt and pants, picked up his cell phone, and tried to contact the hospital.
Before I could call him, my phone rang.
The caller ID showed it was a call from the hospital.
His heart was in his throat, and a cold sweat ran down his back.
In the dream, she was in another terrifying space, wondering if she could escape the mudslide...
If not...
In reality, nothing will happen to her, right?
He had never been so panicked in his life. He answered the phone with almost trembling hands, and Han Fei's slightly excited and trembling voice sounded over there:
"Second Master, Madam... Madam, she's awake!!"
**
When Huo Shenxiu rushed to the hospital, it was dark.
It was at least a forty-five-minute drive, and he arrived in less than half an hour.
As soon as he went upstairs and got out of the elevator, he strode towards the ward.
"Second Master, here you go——"
At the door, Han Fei saw the person coming and greeted him:
"The doctor has checked my wife and said there is nothing serious. She is in good health now..."
Without even looking at his subordinates, he threw the unfinished words behind his head, opened the door and stepped in.
Every step is so impatient.
In the morning light coming in from the window, a slender figure sat on the hospital bed with her back to the door.
Wearing a loose blue and white hospital gown, the body is empty, and the whole person is as fresh and tender as a flower that has just bloomed in the morning, looking up at the snowy neck, admiring the rising sun.
For a moment, he was reluctant to go over and disturb her.
After a while, he took two steps over, bent down, spread his arms from behind, and hugged her.
He put his head in the crook of her neck, deeply smelling the natural fragrance of her body, and murmured tenderly:
"My Mimi...is finally fine."
Su Mi didn't look back, she just lazily nestled in his arms and let him hold her. After a while, she slowly turned around and stared at him with a pair of clear eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling:
"If it weren't for you, I might not be able to come back."
His heart moved and he understood what she meant.
The white light in the dream...
She in the white light...
More than just a dream.
He wasn't the only one who experienced it.
She knows it too.
Although I don't know what kind of space that is... Huanyan brought him there in the end to give her the courage and confidence to encourage her to come back.
He raised his hand to hold up her face, which was still slightly pale after waking up: "Did you see me in the white light?"
Su Mi was also shocked: "You...you know?"
She thought she was simply dreaming about him.
It turns out that he really went to that primitive forest-like place!?
Huo Shenxiu nodded and gently rubbed his thumb on her cheek: "Yes. Huanyan helped."
Su Mi's heart moved and she glanced at her empty wrist.
He took out the bracelet and placed it in her palm again.
She pinched the jade bracelet, which was soft and cool, and her heart skipped a beat.
His appearance in that terrifying primeval forest was real.
He on the other side of the white light also exists!
He indeed came to the space where she was when she was sleeping, encouraged her, and pulled her back!
Happy face...
No wonder she didn't see him when she woke up.
Han Fei said that since she fell into coma, the second master has been by her bedside every day.
Only last night he took her bracelet and returned to Huayuan...
It seems that he was able to reach that place by sleeping happily and dreaming.
She thought of something and looked at him: "...Then what else did you dream about?"
"I have dreamed everything I should have dreamed about," he gently circled her soft and tender green-white fingers with his fingertips, "I have seen everything and every experience between you and me, including Duan Beixiao and Zong Yin's marriage.
…”
It was almost an immersive experience.
He already has those memories.
Su Mi looked at him in disbelief, but was not surprised by Huanyan's power.
But he still murmured:
"...You know everything?"
He nodded, slipped his fingers between hers, and held her hand firmly.
Although it is not remembered, it is still another way.

After Su Mi recovered, she was hospitalized for a while to raise her baby before returning to Huayuan.
Huo Shenxiu specially connected with Master Huiyuan in country M.
When they were hospitalized for abortion, the two of them talked about many things, including all the memories and experiences they had in the past.
The two also discussed where the primitive forest-like place where Su Mi was trapped when she was in a coma these days was.
But this matter, no matter how many times we discuss it, it’s unclear.
Therefore, after returning to Huayuan, Huo Shenxiu simply contacted Master Huiyuan.
Maybe an expert can give me an answer.
Huo Shenxiu put the video on the projector in the living room.
Then he shook hands with Su Mi, sat on the sofa, and said hello to Hui Yuan first.
On the clear and huge screen, Master Huiyuan heard about Su Mi's current situation and the situation when she was in coma, and remained silent for a long time.
After a long time, he spoke silently:
"The ancient Chinese believed in reincarnation, and most of the deceased would pass through a place called the 'Forget River'."
Su Mi and Huo Shenxiu looked at each other.
"The legendary River of Forgetfulness is a river that leads to the underworld. The water is blood-colored. There are ancient forests beside the river. The rocks are steep and dark and moist. It is terrifying to see and frightening to hear. The deceased must pass through it if they want to be reincarnated as a human being.
Here, cross the river and reach Hades.”
"On the Wangchuan River, there are often women who carry boats for the reincarnated dead to the other side. After crossing the river, they feed the deceased with soup to forget the debts of the past life. This woman is often called by the Chinese - Po Meng."
Su Mi's heart trembled.
The river is blood-colored, there are ancient forests along the river, the mountains are steep, dark and humid...
Isn't this description the same as that primitive forest-like environment?
On the river she passed, there was indeed a young woman holding a boat. She also said that she did not have time and would not take her.
So the place she went to when she was unconscious——
that is……
Forgotten River?
Maybe at that time, she was in an out-of-body state, but she was not considered dead, so she got to that place...?
Huiyuan continued:
"Of course, there are also lonely ghosts beside the Forgotten River who don't want to be reincarnated and are nostalgic for the fireworks and old things from their previous lives."
"So, in addition to the dead people who want to cross the river and be reincarnated, there are also bardo bodies lingering nearby, unwilling to leave, either because of hatred, regret, unwillingness, or longing.
I don’t want to go to the next life because I care about my loved ones in my previous life.”
Su Mi raised her eyebrows.
So the Su Lanyou and Song Yurou she saw there were all staying there because they had resentments in their hearts?
That……
Where is Anjin?
She also saw An Jin there.
She has always thought that because she changed reality, the Anjin that should have existed disappeared.
So, where did the Anjin Club go?
In a sense, An Jin did not die, but the current reality changed, and she disappeared with the original reality, so it was impossible to reincarnate, so she went to the mysterious middle ground between the underworld and the human world... Forgot
By the riverside, can we only linger there?
Perhaps An Jin refused to leave and stayed there because he was nostalgic for her.
Not only did she not leave, but she also showed up to encourage her to keep moving forward...
She tried her best to control her emotions, but she still felt the moisture in her eyelashes.
After the video ended, the two sat on the sofa, held each other's hands, and didn't speak for a long time.
Su Mi could feel him holding her hand tightly.
After a long, long time, she looked at Huo Shenxiu next to her, with tears on her face:
"An Jin still wants us to be her parents. She doesn't blame us. She has been waiting for us to let her come back..."
Huo Shenxiu's hand slid down and covered her swollen belly: "Of course, she is our little angel."
"Do you think we will be reunited?"
"One day, it will happen."
*
A few months later, accompanied by Huo Shenxiu, Su Mi gave birth to a full-term daughter.
She had just given birth to a baby and was so tired that she took a quick look at the baby. The baby was taken away by the nurse. She heard Huo Shenxiu gently kissing her earlobe in her ear and comforting her:
"She is a daughter. She is very healthy. She weighs five pounds and six ounces. Her eyebrows and eyebrows are the same as yours. She is very beautiful."
She felt a little more relieved and opened her mouth again, but nothing came out and she was exhausted.
Huo Shenxiu knew what she wanted to say. She wanted to take a closer look at the child.
I want to know if it's An Jin, if that daughter of theirs is back.
He had only been paying attention to her who was weak after giving birth. Now he lowered his head and whispered softly in her ear:
"Don't worry. I'll go see her with you later."
…
At the same time, the baby was sent to the neonatal room, where two nurses helped clean the blood and dirt from his body.
A nurse took off the baby's wrapping and was startled.
Another nurse turned back: "What's wrong?"
The nurse who had delivered countless babies looked at the baby's back——
On the snow-white skin, there is a red birthmark in the shape of a butterfly, which is lifelike. There is a bit of surprise and exclamation in the nurse's smile:
"Look, it's a butterfly birthmark. It's so beautiful. It's the first time I've seen such a special birthmark."
The sun shines softly through the window, splashing on the delicate, innocent, happy and contented face of the little baby girl.
The big clear eyes seem to say, the world is so wonderful.
