“He was fine just a moment ago, saying he had a stomachache, who knew what happened, and then he suddenly fainted.” The restaurant owner was an old bald man, terrified that someone might die in his shop, so he was scared to death. “Girl, this kid seems to be a bit oxygen-deprived, having trouble breathing, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and give him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation! Please, everyone else, give some space, and could someone with a phone call for an ambulance…” “What?” Wang Xiaoyun’s mind buzzed, and then she could hear nothing more. Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation? Is this dead bastard really that serious? Seeing Lin Feng’s pale face, eyes closed, and short, labored breaths, she was truly stunned. He’s going to die! With so many big men here, why are you all staring at me, a weak girl, to give mouth-to-mouth? Don’t you have bigger lung capacity than me? She looked around helplessly, but when it came to giving mouth-to-mouth to a guy frothing at the mouth, these men, more interested in watching than helping, all turned into cowards. One of them, a young guy who had previously thought about being a hero to save the beauty, whispered, “If it were a girl who fainted, forget mouth-to-mouth, I’d risk my life!” He had clearly voiced everyone’s thoughts, and several who heard him nodded in agreement subconsciously. Wang Xiaoyun gritted her teeth, glaring at them with hatred. Dead bastard! You choose the perfect time and place to faint, making a girl give you mouth-to-mouth in public, you dead bastard better be okay… What to do, can’t just let him die! It’s just to save someone, not like those hooligan texts from this dead bastard hoping for a ‘kiss’ from ‘Yun’ to ‘Feng’… Oh my, what am I thinking at such a time! Fine, here goes nothing! Wang Xiaoyun pouted her small mouth, closed her eyes, and leaned towards the mouth of her archenemy, the dead bastard. “Hey, girl, it’s mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, not a lover’s kiss!” “Ah…” Wang Xiaoyun’s face turned beet red, she quickly opened her eyes, feeling wronged, tears streaming down her face. Dead bald old man, would it kill you to speak quietly!
Family members arrived as Lin Feng, who had suddenly fainted into Wang Xiaoyun’s arms, regained consciousness in the blink of an eye. However, a prompt that suddenly appeared in his mind almost scared him into fainting again! “Player Ghost Hand Merciless, your mental and physical energy are both severely overdrawn. The system will soon enter automatic sleep protection mode, please replenish energy in time!” Both mental and physical energy overdrawn?! Replenish energy in time?! What does that mean? In a game, it means the player is on the brink of death. Of course, if a game character dies, they can just log back in and revive, but in real life, if you lose your life, is there a chance to log back in? Would he have to wait for the next life to continue playing? Lin Feng was so scared he felt like he was about to lose his mind, life was at stake, where was there time to worry about anything else. No wonder he felt something was off today; he was already tired when he got up early in the morning, and after a few classes at school, he felt dead tired. It turned out that last night and this morning, he had been using that awesome Swift Step technique without restraint, which wasn’t free, just like in the game, it also consumed his mental and physical energy. And just now, he had fallen into a terrifying mental vortex and couldn’t escape, struggling to break free, which naturally consumed a lot of mental and physical energy, and he hadn’t realized it until the system alarm went off. He thought that since in-game characters could naturally recover mental and physical energy through meditation without red or blue potions or other aids, he could probably recover in real life by resting. This principle should be similar to eating when hungry and sleeping when tired. Understanding the cause, he felt somewhat at ease. Even if Wang Xiaoyun was cold, she definitely wouldn’t abandon him. Lin Feng decided to feign sleep for a moment, thinking he’d try to see if this could automatically recover some mental and physical energy. Wang Xiaoyun didn’t abandon him, but the problem was, Lin Feng, who wanted to rest in the arms of a girl, forgot that Wang Xiaoyun was an inexperienced girl who had never encountered such a situation. So, as soon as he ‘fainted’, Wang Xiaoyun screamed, immediately attracting a crowd of onlookers. Lin Feng, nestled in the beauty’s embrace, inhaling her fragrance, was feeling quite pleased, and if he ‘woke up’ now, it would be hard to explain, who knows what Wang Xiaoyun would think, she might call the police thinking he was a pervert. Besides, he hadn’t gotten past the hurdle of those harassing texts! Being forcibly lifted from the beauty’s embrace by a group of people, Lin Feng found it even harder to ‘wake up’. Then the crowd was in chaos, pinching his philtrum, slapping his face, all in a frenzy. Lin Feng was so frustrated, thinking he just wanted to rest a bit but ended up making things worse, with his mental and physical energy still hovering around the warning line. If he died because of these ‘wild monsters’, it would be a total loss. He was about to shamelessly ‘wake up’ when suddenly someone suggested Wang Xiaoyun give him mouth-to-mouth… Mouth-to-mouth? Wow! The beautiful head class monitor Wang Xiaoyun is going to give me mouth-to-mouth! Jackpot! Lin Feng loved whoever made that suggestion! Thus, Lin Feng, momentarily lost in lust, continued to ‘faint’, finding it hard to wake up. The surrounding noise suddenly quieted down, and a heavy, panting shadow loomed over him. Lin Feng was ecstatic, thinking about last night’s dream of spending the night with the beautiful head class monitor, talking sweet nothings, only to be woken up by his mother at the crucial moment. Now, he could actually have it with the real-life beauty, it was like a dream come true… As he was enjoying the moment, something fell on his face, wet, and something salty flowed into his mouth… Were those… tears?! Lin Feng was startled. What’s wrong, is she crying? The daughter’s sweet fragrance enveloped his face, and the other’s warm breath sprayed on his face, tickling him. In his daze, even the goosebumps on his face seemed to touch the other’s delicate face. Cold tears were still dripping, falling onto his face, causing Lin Feng’s heart to twitch painfully. There was an indescribable palpitation that made him unable to suppress himself. If I were a bit more ruthless, perhaps my first kiss would have come… Yet, Lin Feng struggled to open his eyes!
“You’re crying…” Lin Feng forced himself to speak, struggling to sit up. Wang Xiaoyun stared with wide eyes, seemingly unable to believe that her mortal enemy, the scoundrel, had woken up at such an awkward moment. He’s awake! He’s awake! He really is awake! No more artificial respiration needed! Wang Xiaoyun, still half-hugging him, was too stunned to react.
Lin Feng, weak and frail, managed to sit up, but another wave of dizziness hit him, making him feel like he was about to fall into an abyss. He quickly reached out, groping around frantically. Damn it! His mental and physical strength were evidently still on the brink, and forcing himself awake might truly lead to his doom…
“Ah—” Wang Xiaoyun’s scream was more piercing than the distant ambulance siren. Lin Feng, breathing heavily, his voice sounding like it was coming from deep underground, said, “Don’t… cry…”
In the chaos, he finally grabbed onto something soft, smooth, and enticingly warm—unknown what magical object it was. Whatever it was, as long as he didn’t pass out again, that was fine. Squad Leader, don’t panic, I’ll be alright. But why is my vision so blurry? Why can’t I see anything clearly? Mental strength, physical strength… mana potions, health potions… am I… am I really going to die…?
