Just in Time Chapter 69

Translated by Sylver (ko-fi)


Chapter 69


Ding-a-ling!


The ringtone of the mobile phone abruptly echoed in the silent room, and the person panting heavily on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.


Yi Chenliang was still immersed in the terrifying dream he had just had and hadn’t come back to his senses. He reached out and wiped his face.


It was all tears.


Yi Chenliang let out a sigh of relief with lingering fear. He had a dream within a dream, and he felt heart-wrenchingly uncomfortable.


He couldn’t remember what kind of dream within a dream he had for a moment, but the ringing in his ears was still incessant, making his heart jump.


He got up and swiped his phone open. It was a landline number.


“Hello, how can I help you?” Yi Chenliang had a splitting headache and couldn’t help but pinch his brow.


“Hello, may I speak to a family member of Yun Fang?” The other side was a strange female voice.


Yi Chenliang was dizzy and subconsciously replied, “Yes.”


“It’s like this, Yun Fang is currently being resuscitated in our hospital, and we need a family member to come over and sign…” The voice on the other side continued, but Yi Chenliang could no longer hear anything.


He pinched his brow hard, the intense pain made him sure he was not dreaming, but his voice was surprisingly calm, “Okay, I’ll be right there.”


He quickly got up and dressed, and when he squatted at the door to tie his shoelaces, his hand was shaking so much that he couldn’t tie the thin shoelaces.


“Damn it!” He cursed angrily, kicked the shoe rack in front of him into a mess with one foot, bit his teeth and stuffed the shoelaces in a mess, and ran down from upstairs.


The sky outside had just brightened, and there were pitifully few cars on the road. Yi Chenliang looked down at his phone, it was 6:18 in the morning.


The images in the dream and reality eerily overlapped, and Yi Chenliang felt a hitch in his breath. At a critical time, he couldn’t even see a taxi on the road. He gritted his teeth and ran towards the city hospital.


He didn’t know how fast he could run, he ran until a bloody taste emerged in his throat, only hoping that he could be faster, faster, to firmly grasp the other self and keep him.


Just as his vision was turning black from running, a taxi finally drove over from the opposite side. He didn’t even check if there were passengers inside, he ran to the middle of the road and stopped the car.


The driver poked his head out of the car window and cursed, “Are you trying to get yourself killed!”


Yi Chenliang, with bloodshot eyes, opened the car door and got in, “City Hospital! Master, to the City Hospital! Please, go faster!!”


Perhaps Yi Chenliang’s appearance was truly horrifying, the driver stepped on the gas, “Did something happen to your family?”


Yi Chenliang was still gasping for breath, it felt like a fire was burning in his throat, he clenched his fist tightly and stared at the road ahead, his face pale, “Master, please drive faster! He’s being resuscitated!”


“Hey, I can’t go any faster, this is already the fastest, young man, don’t panic.” The driver probably found him pitiful, and felt uncomfortable, “The more it is at this time, the more you have to stay calm, you can’t cry. Once a person cries, their soul becomes unstable. The person inside can’t see clearly, so you can’t cry outside, you have to let him see that someone is waiting for him to come back.”


Yi Chenliang clenched his fist tightly and said hoarsely, “Thank you.”


By the time Yi Chenliang rushed to the resuscitation room, it was already half an hour later. There were three strangers standing in front of the resuscitation room, one of them was even wearing a police uniform.


The policeman was taken aback when he saw him rushing over, “Are you Yi Chenliang?”


Yi Chenliang nodded, his face pale as he looked at the light in the resuscitation room, “Where’s Yun Fang?”


“He’s being resuscitated inside, but we need to complete some procedures and need a family member to sign. What’s your relationship with him?” The policeman in uniform probably didn’t expect a high school student to come because of his young age.


“I’m his boyfriend.” Yi Chenliang pursed his lips, his eyes never left the door.


Policeman: “…”


Kids these days are really–really unpredictable.


“Do you know Yun Fang’s parents? You can’t sign.”


“I know them.” Yi Chenliang couldn’t describe what he was feeling, he took out his phone, but found that he didn’t have Tang Yi’s phone number saved, he looked up somewhat dazedly, “I’ll go to his house to find them.”


The policeman on the other side picked up a phone call and gestured to him, “No need– the school has contacted the parents and they are on their way here.”


“We found him around 3:40 last night, deep in the cottonwood forest of Qiushan Orphanage. He had massive internal bleeding, a comminuted fracture of his left arm, and if his ribs were a little more off, they would have pierced his heart. The doctor said that if it was ten minutes later, he wouldn’t have been able to be saved at all.”


“Of course, the situation is not optimistic now.”


A middle-aged man in his early forties looked at him and handed him a mobile phone in a transparent plastic bag, “This is Yun Fang’s phone, and there is only you as a contact in his phone book.”


“The call record shows that the last call he made was to you, starting at 3:15 in the middle of the night, a full twenty minutes, what did you guys talk about?” Wang Lianhua asked him.


Yi Chenliang took the bag, inside was a blood-stained phone.


‘Only you are in his phone book.’


‘His last call was to you…what did you guys talk about?’


What did we talk about?


[Xiao Yi, tell me about your dream, I want to hear it.]


[Xiao Yi, if I could come back fifteen years earlier, I would pick you up as soon as you were born.]


[That way, you could grow up well.]


[I can’t climb the window to find you even if I miss you…]


[Dreams are the opposite of reality… don’t be afraid, and don’t be afraid in the future.]


[Xiao Yi, I kind of miss you too.]


[I saw it.]


[…Meeting you, I’m actually really happy.]


[Xiao Yi, look up.]


[Xiao Yi…go back to bed.]


Yi Chenliang recalled the phone call from last night, feeling as if his heart was being gouged out by the person lying inside.


He thought it was just an ordinary call in the middle of the night, but he never expected that the person on the other end of the phone was leaving his last words.


When he heard himself talking about that forest, looking up at the large patch of flowering trees and the moon in the sky, what was he thinking?


If no one had found him—


Yi Chenliang just slightly imagined that scene, and felt that even breathing became difficult, his heart seemed to be crushed into a bloody mess.


It was heart-wrenching.


How could he do this? Yi Chenliang held his phone in a daze, thinking, how could he do this?


He suddenly remembered the suffocating dream from this morning, the helplessness and heart-wrenching pain in the dream were so clear at this moment.


If he disappeared, where would he let him find him?


Everyone only knew that he was Yun Fang, only he knew that the person inside was called Yi Chenliang, who should he ask? How should he find him?


Across twenty years of invisible and intangible time, how should he find him?


“Are you okay?” Wang Lianhua saw his uncomfortable face and bloodshot eyes, but not a single tear fell. He felt that his state was not right, “You calm down first.”


“I’m fine.” Yi Chenliang clenched his phone, as if holding onto the last straw, his voice was extremely calm, “He will be fine.”


Yi Chenliang leaned against the wall, propped up his body, and looked at the door of the resuscitation room expressionlessly.


“I’ll just wait for him outside.”


“When he sees, he will know that I am waiting for him to come back.”
