At exactly six in the morning, a large number of media reporters were still gathered at the entrance of the City First People's Hospital. However, due to the high number of patients during the day, they couldn't stay inside the outpatient department.

Everyone was curious to know the condition of the two people in the ward, whether they had regained consciousness and if there was any risk to their lives.

At this moment, in Lin Miaoke's ward, the first thing she did upon waking was to ask about Ye Xiaofan.

In the quiet environment of recuperation, Lin Miaoke's condition gradually improved, and her temperature slowly went down.

"I'm sorry, Captain Lin, you were supposed to rest at this time, but this matter has attracted the attention of the citizens, and we must release the details to the media as soon as possible."

"It's okay, Chen Hao and the others should have already explained the situation. Ye Xiaofan rescued them onto the bus and then came back to save me, and then we escaped into Baisha Tent. At that time, we were chased by Lei Hu and his men and had no choice but to jump into the valley…"

Lin Miaoke recalled the earlier events, but her thoughts remained with Ye Xiaofan, feeling that she couldn't be at peace until she saw him with her own eyes.

After climbing out of the valley, Ye Xiaofan had already fainted from exhaustion. Lin Miaoke supported the unconscious Xiaofan, moving step by step forward, shouting for help. She didn't know that Xiaofan had a fever, let alone that the desperate climbing had caused the wound on his back to bleed again. Now, hearing her colleague mention it, Lin Miaoke's heart twisted as she recalled the situation.

After completing the statement with her colleague, Lin Miaoke insisted on seeing Xiaofan. As she entered the ward and saw him up close, tears silently slid down her face.

His fingers, torn and scarred from climbing the rock wall—thanks to him, it really was only because of him that she survived.

"Hey, why are you crying? I'm not dead yet."

Unexpectedly, an annoying voice came from the hospital bed.

Yes, there were several times in the valley when Lin Miaoke felt this guy was infuriating, but now, she was extremely delighted to see Ye Xiaofan.

"You're awake?"

"Is this a hospital? Ah, my old back, I'm exhausted. Looks like I still have a chance to pass on the chromosomes our family has inherited."

"Ah, you bastard…"

At noon, Chen Mengying, Liu Siyan, and Fei came to the hospital again. Seeing Xiaofan sitting on the bed, eating heartily, they were overjoyed. They all pestered Xiaofan to tell them what had happened at that time.

Xiaofan didn't hide anything and briefly explained some of the events.

"You have no idea, I was so angry with that fool…"

"You are the fool." Lin Miaoke, who was eavesdropping outside the ward, gave a bright smile and turned back to her own room.

Since Xiaofan had just woken up, the hospital advocated for more rest time for him. Thus, the nurse came to ask the visitors to leave first.

"Ye Xiaofan, the college entrance exam is in a few days. By then, will you…" Liu Siyan had been worried about this issue. She wanted to tell Xiaofan that she would be going to Capital City after the exam and hoped Xiaofan could also get admitted there. But she never found the opportunity to speak.

"Hmm? It's okay, I'll make it. Don't worry, you guys should hurry back to class. Brother, you don't have to come running here often either. I'll definitely go back once I'm discharged," Xiaofan said softly with a smile.

"Alright, we'll head back then." They didn't want to disturb Xiaofan's rest further, only hoping he could recover soon.

"By the way, Ye Xiaofan, last night I saw that cousin of yours living at your place, she stopped us at the hospital entrance to ask about you. Didn't she come today?" Chen Mengying suddenly remembered as she was getting up.

"Oh, speaking of your cousin, she's amazingly beautiful," Fei recalled everyone's dumbfounded reactions upon seeing Shen Zuimo the night before, with their gazes lingering long after she left, the car only moving once she was out of sight.

"Ye Xiaofan? Ye Xiaofan? What's wrong?" Chen Mengying asked urgently, noticing Xiaofan's dazed expression.

"Hmm? Nothing, haha, you guys should go back first. I'm full and want to sleep for a while."

"Okay, take a good rest. We're leaving."

After seeing them off, Xiaofan showed no sign of resting. He immediately pressed the call button for the nurse from the side of the bed.

"What's the matter?" Before long, the nurse walked into the ward to inquire.

"Call the police for me. Tell them I want to make a statement. Also, ask the doctor to arrange for me to be discharged this afternoon," Xiaofan said calmly to the nurse.

"Discharged? But your fever hasn't subsided yet! And your wounds were just sealed, if they get inflamed or infected, it would be terrible," the nurse said worriedly.

"It's fine, thank you."

The nurse helplessly went out, helping Xiaofan find the police, then explained his discharge request to the doctor as he asked.

"Yo, kid, you look quite spirited," a short policeman walked in not long after, pushing the door open.

"Do we know each other?" Xiaofan asked a bit puzzled, looking at the entering policeman.

"Oh, let me introduce myself, I'm Li Xiangdong, but my colleagues call me Hao. You saved me and Chen Hao at the warehouse before."

"So it was you," Xiaofan finally recalled, not having seen the officer clearly back then due to poor lighting.

"Yes, it's me. That brat Chen Hao owes his life to you; if he hadn't just had surgery and couldn't get out of bed, he'd have rushed over to see you already. He's been saying not only did you save his life, but you also saved his whole family. Chen Hao has an elderly mother, a wife, and a child at home, with his wife caring for them and the family relying solely on his salary. If anything happened to him, their family would collapse," Hao was quite talkative, starting to chatter away as soon as he entered. He had heard from Lin Miaoke about Xiaofan's cleverness and his life-saving heroics, gaining much admiration for the high schooler.

However, Xiaofan wasn't in the mood for small talk, only eager to finish the statement quickly, to get discharged sooner, and return home to see the one eagerly awaiting him there.

He knew it, Xiaofan knew it. That fool must be very scared alone, must be very worried about him. Just thinking of her worried and fearful appearance, Xiaofan wished he could rush home now, grabbing her in his arms to give her the best protection.
