Ever since Mu Cangkong appeared, Shangguan Jiujiu's heartbeat started to accelerate beside him.
Seeing Mu Cangkong approaching, her heartbeat became even more erratic.
Mu Cangkong walked up to Shangguan Jiujiu's bed, his hand trembling slightly as he reached out, "Jiujiu, are you really awake?"
Before his fingers could touch her face, a piercing alarm sounded from the equipment beside them.
Shangguan Jiujiu's heart was beating too fast—the machine had automatically triggered an alarm!
Startled, Mu Cangkong quickly looked up.
"Brother Kong!" Shangguan Jiujiu shouted loudly and at the same time, swiftly removed the heartbeat monitor clipped on her finger.
Mu Cangkong felt a tremor in his heart when he heard her call him, and immediately turned his gaze towards her eyes, softly saying, "I'm here."
Bai Bing, who was squatting on the ground and distressing over the phonograph, shivered slightly upon hearing his voice and then picked up the phonograph and left.
