After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

Lu Ning nodded; it was indeed because of the car accident years ago.

Ji Chiqian squeezed her hand: "It's all over now, it's alright."

When Lu Ning heard him say those words again, she felt touched and touched.

She snuggled greedily against his chest, becoming somewhat dependent on him.

Her dreams were never pleasant, and she desperately wanted to wake up. Now, nestled in his arms, she felt completely at ease.

Ji Chiqian could also sense Lu Ning's dependence. He quietly held her, wanting only to give her some warmth.

He felt that Lu Ning must have remembered something Lu Xicheng had done in the past to be so afraid.

But he didn't dare ask, worried that he might bring up something that upset her.

Lu Ning was thinking about the car accident from back then.

Ji Chiqian wondered if Lu Xicheng had done something to her.

Both of them fell silent, as if by unspoken agreement.

After resting for a while, Lu Ning felt that it wasn't appropriate for her to stay in Ji Chiqian's arms like this.

After all, it seems they've broken up again.

Lu Ning slowly sat up, leaving Ji Chiqian's embrace. She didn't dare to look Ji Chiqian in the eye and whispered, "I'm a little hungry."

"I'll have someone send you some food. What would you like to eat?"

Lu Ning shook her head: "Either is fine."

After all, she didn't really have an appetite right now; she was just making an excuse to leave Ji Chiqian's arms to avoid embarrassment.

Seeing her pale face, Ji Chiqian spoke with unusual gentleness: "Then let the pear orchard send over some food."

Lu Ning nodded.

After the brief conversation, Lu Ning felt inexplicably awkward. She touched her pillow and asked, "Where's my phone?"

"It's probably in your dorm. I'll bring it to you when Chen Yu and the others come over."

"Row."

She only took out her phone to let them know she was safe, so they wouldn't worry about her.

Soon, the dean and his team came to examine Lu Ning.

Gu Zifeng also came over and waited for the dean to finish the examination before saying, "There's nothing seriously wrong. He can be discharged after one day of observation."

Gu Zifeng said, "I told you Little Lemon was fine, she just fainted from fright."

Ji Chiqian glanced at Gu Zifeng, his eyes filled with warning.

Lu Ning looked up, her expression slightly surprised: "Did I faint from fright?"

She recalled that she suddenly had a severe headache and seemed to have fainted. She also had many dreams, most of which were dreams from her past life.

She even dreamed that she was on the operating table, and Lu Xicheng was removing her kidneys.

Gu Zifeng continued, "Of course! After you fainted, some people were so scared they turned pale and stayed outside the emergency room. Even when the Lu family came, they were like, 'Why did you kick me?'"

Ji Chiqian said in a flat tone: "There's no need to bring up unimportant people."

Lu Ning, however, understood a different meaning.

She asked, "Did the Lu family come to the hospital last night too?"

That makes sense. With such a big incident at the school, it's normal for the Lu family to have received the news.

Ji Chiqian straightened the blanket for her: "They came, but were kicked out later, so don't worry."

Lu Xicheng had no way of getting close to her.

Lu Ning felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

She thought about her dream of lying on the operating table, and it felt so real, as if Ji Chiqian was even there.

It was indeed an absurd dream.

Soon, the food from Liyuan was delivered. Lu Ning had originally made up an excuse, but she didn't expect to be really hungry when she saw the food.

After Lu Ning finished eating, Chen Yu and Chen Guoguo arrived.

Qin Yang stood at the door without coming in, while Ji Chiqian and Gu Zifeng tacitly left the ward, leaving the girls some space to be alone.

Ji Chiqian looked at Qin Yang: "Do you have any news about Lu Xicheng on your end?"

"I've heard that research is extensive on that island. The human experiments you mentioned are called 'drug test subjects' on the island. Many people with terminal illnesses have signed documents voluntarily to undergo treatment. Whether there are any shady dealings involved, we haven't found out yet."

Qin Yang looked at Ji Chiqian: "Didn't you ask Lu Ning?"

You can just ask Lu Ning for the answer to this.

Ji Chiqian's fingers were holding the lighter, but he ultimately didn't take the cigarette. He said, "She doesn't want to talk about it, and I don't want her to think about it either."

Gu Zifeng nodded: "That makes sense. It wouldn't be appropriate for us to ask directly if Xiao Ningmeng didn't say anything."

Qin Yang: "In short, that Lu Xicheng is a very strange person. He has no bottom line, doesn't get close to anyone, and doesn't have many friends. He is a very reclusive person."

Ji Chiqian still felt somewhat worried when he thought about Lu Xicheng's performance in the operating room.

But now is not a good time to ask.

inside the room.

Lu Ning got her phone back and, sure enough, saw the calls from her family and a message from Lu Xicheng asking if she was awake.

Chen Yu said, "We were almost scared to death last night. Luckily, some people came down from the helicopter to rescue us."

Chen Guoguo looked at Lu Ning: "After this incident, I think some people are actually not bad."

From any perspective, Ji Chiqian was very good to Lu Ning.

Aside from the fact that he deceived Lu Ning, it's a flaw.

Lu Ning paused for a moment, then said, "I know."

Moreover, she remembered everything that happened in the car accident back then.

"Lu Ning, it's good that you're alright. We won't disturb your rest any longer."

After her friends left, Lu Ning lay alone in the hospital bed. She glanced at her phone and received a message from Lu Xicheng: "How are you feeling now? I used the best medicine to cleanse your lungs, so there won't be any aftereffects."

Upon seeing this sentence, Lu Ning immediately sat up straight.

Lu Xicheng gave her a lung cleanse?

When Ji Chiqian walked in, he noticed that her expression was not good and she was staring at her phone.

He approached: "What's wrong?"

Lu Ning looked at him suspiciously: "What did Lu Xicheng come over for last night?"

After hearing this, Ji Chiqian paused for a moment, then sat down in front of Lu Ning and said, "I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have let him come."

He recounted what had happened.

Lu Ning gripped her phone tightly, recalling her dream. She murmured, "So it wasn't a dream after all."

She thought it was a dream from her past life, that she was going to have her kidneys removed, but she was terrified.

Ji Chiqian said cautiously, "Do you think it was a dream? But your expression at the time was very scared, as if something had happened."

Lu Ning put down her phone: "I really thought it was a dream."

But how could she possibly reveal the secret of her rebirth?

Ji Chiqian's expression turned serious: "If Lu Xicheng has done any experiments on you before, you must tell me."

He will definitely avenge her.

When Lu Ning heard the word "experiment," she was taken aback: "You're overthinking it. How could he possibly experiment on me?"

It was just that they removed one of her kidneys.

Ji Chiqian breathed a sigh of relief: "Then why were you so scared back then?"
