A rare magical miracle in the world

"Drip, drip, drip."

In a pristine hospital room, a young girl lay on a hospital bed, hooked up to a ventilator. The ashen hue of her face, seen from the eyes of the youth outside the window, wrung his heart with anguish.

"Xiao Ling."

The youth’s name was Ye Feng, a high school teacher.

Ye Feng had been orphaned from a young age and grew up under the care of his unmarried aunt along with his sister.

Despite a tumultuous fate, Ye Feng had managed to work hard and earn a place at Emperor Capital Normal University.

But not long ago, his sister fell down the school stairs by accident and had been in a coma ever since.

"How could this happen?"

Though not medically trained, Ye Feng had basic common sense: "There’s no head trauma, and the brain seems fine, so why is she still in a coma?"

This incident was fraught with peculiarity at every turn.

How did his sister fall? Who pushed her?

The surveillance showed it was Ye Ling who slipped and fell, but Ye Feng always had an indescribably eerie feeling: ’It’s as though something pushed Ling Ling from behind.’

"Ye Feng."

Li Moqing was Ye Feng’s childhood friend, known as Green Plum, and also the youngest chief physician at the hospital.

It was thanks to her that Ye Ling received such exceptional care.

"You haven’t slept since last night," said Li Moqing, "I’m on duty tonight. Ling Ling is in my care, rest assured."

His girlfriend didn’t actually have a shift, but for the sake of Ye Feng’s sister, her future little sister-in-law, she went out of her way to talk to the leadership and took over the original duty doctor’s shift.

"Thank you."

"Don’t be so formal with me."

Li Moqing was a tomboy, and she and Ye Feng had always been very close, like brothers.

It was unfortunate that her family was pressing her, and Li Moqing had no choice.

However, it was precisely for this reason that the normally casual tomboy became aware of her own feelings; in fact, she had always liked Ye Feng. Explore stories on NovelBin.Côm

Ye Feng: I treat you as a brother, yet you actually want to X me!

If it were any other time, they would likely have started bantering again, but with Ye Ling in a coma, Ye Feng had not smiled in a long time.

"Don’t worry about the money; I have some pull in the hospital."

The Li Family was very affluent, and with Li Moqing being an only child, Father Li and Mother Li were very fond of Ye Feng, having long treated him like their own son.

So the issue of money was actually no concern at all.

But the situation with Ye Ling was so unusual that money could not resolve it, even experts from Germany were powerless.

"Thank you."

After voicing his thanks one last time, Ye Feng left.

Just as Li Moqing had said, Ye Feng was very tired. Not daring to drive, he could only take the last bus home.

"Sigh."

Waiting alone at the bus stop in front of the hospital, Ye Feng took out his flip-phone Nokia, with its very small screen that could practically only make calls.

Not long ago, he did come across a touchscreen phone from a well-off student.

After looking it up online, he discovered it was the newly released iPhone 3 from America.

"Sigh."

Shaking his head, Ye Feng noticed a flash of scarlet light at the corner of his eye. Not caring what it was, he instinctively raised his hand to stop it.

Soon, a bus with the number 444 stopped before him.

"444?"

Ye Feng was startled; he didn’t remember this bus.

"Hey, wait!"

Hurriedly looking up, Ye Feng sought the number 444 on the bus stop sign.

"You can go!"

He indeed found his destination accurately listed on the sign. Seeing the bus slowly moving forward, Ye Feng quickly chased after it: "Wait, wait, wait."

"Driver, how much to Yunmengli?"

Ye Feng glanced inside the bus, no passengers, just a fare collector and a driver.

The driver was a stubble-faced uncle in black clothing. Seeing Ye Feng board, he glanced at him indifferently and then kept driving.

"Five yuan."

The fare collector was a woman in her twenties, quite pretty, who had been sizing up Ye Feng ever since he got on the bus.

"Um, is there something?"

"You, you have a strange smell on you."

"Do I?"

Ye Feng found her directness odd, but considering he hadn’t been home for several days, having a smell wasn’t surprising: "Haven’t bathed in a few days."

It’s quite normal to chat with someone on the bus, especially on a night shift with just the three of them.

However, the fare collector didn’t say much more, just smiling and sitting in the front seat by the door.

"This bus, is going there, right?"

Feeling somewhat uneasy, Ye Feng specially checked the bus number again.

Yes, no problem, this bus goes to Yunmengli, and the direction is correct as well.

Ye Feng nodded, found a random seat to sit down, and as he watched the lights passing swiftly outside the window, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

"Zzz!!!" @@novelbin@@

"Bang!"

Ye Feng just started feeling sleepy when the driver suddenly hit the brakes hard, and his head smacked into the seat in front of him.

"Ah~~~"

In pain, Ye Feng rubbed his head, inhaling sharply, about to ask the driver what happened.

"Huh?"

Ye Feng’s expression froze, then he looked around in astonishment.

"What’s going on?"

This was a grassy slope with a wide river in front. He could faintly see the bright lights on the opposite side, and behind him, the bus with the blinking red lights was moving away.

"What the...!"

Ye Feng was stupefied and yelled after it: "Why get off here? I’m supposed to get off at Yunmengli!"

As he spoke, Ye Feng started to chase after the bus.

But strangely, just as he took a few steps, the lights of the bus ahead vanished without a trace, leaving only a desolate dirt road in the dim light.

"I..."

Ye Feng was dumbfounded; he had no idea what was happening now: ’Did I doze off? But the bus seemed to have disappeared suddenly.’

"Something’s not right, what just happened?"

He clearly remembered the driver slamming on the brakes, and then he hit his head, but after regaining consciousness, he found himself off the bus.
