Before long.
Nurse Xia Yiwei walked over to the folding bed, carrying several boxes of medication.
The folding bed was located near the patient waiting area in the hall.
Xia Yiwei naturally took a seat on one of the waiting chairs and began examining the boxes of medicine she had placed beside her.
Lin Yu wasn’t in a hurry to strike up a conversation. Instead, he wanted to figure out what was really going on.
Judging by the nurse’s actions,
it was obvious—
Lin Yu was sick!
As for what exactly was wrong with him, that remained a complete mystery.
What’s more,
Xia Yiwei’s gaze drifted toward the folding bed.
She didn’t seem the least bit fazed by the setup there.
Truly a professional nurse!
Even in a dream,
with such private garments exposed right in front of Lin Yu,
she didn’t find it the slightest bit strange?
That kind of composure wasn’t something just anyone could pull off!
"Xiao Yu, let me give you some advice," Xia Yiwei said as she opened one of the medicine boxes, her tone gentle yet firm.
"This condition has become quite common among young people in recent years—you’re not alone."
"Don’t lose hope in life. You’re still very young."
"If you approach it the right way and identify the root cause, recovery is still possible."
Lin Yu: "???"
Why did that sound like she was comforting someone with a terminal illness?
In Xia Yiwei’s subconscious, was he really that far gone?
If so, what was the point of getting medicine from a community hospital?
To keep the dream world running smoothly and prevent it from collapsing,
Lin Yu played along:
"Actually… my mindset’s pretty good."
"Yiwei, you don’t need to worry about me. I’ve come to terms with it."
"Who can say they’ll never get sick in their lifetime?"
"As long as… I don’t have any regrets, that’s what matters!"
Based on Lin Yu’s reasoning,
if this really were a terminal illness, out of sympathy for someone "living on borrowed time,"
Xia Yiwei might just fulfill his "unresolved desires."
Those skimpy outfits on the folding bed would finally serve their purpose.
Makes sense. Perfect sense.
And yet—
Xia Yiwei’s eyes widened in shock at Lin Yu’s words.
She blurted out without thinking:
"You’ve already made peace with it? Damn, that’s impressive!"
Lin Yu: "???"
Hold on—
That casual "Damn" instantly made Lin Yu realize
things weren’t as simple as he’d thought!
He immediately moved closer to Xia Yiwei, trying to get a clear look at the medication in her hands.
Click… click…
Xia Yiwei aggressively popped a small pill out of its blister pack.
Before Lin Yu could get a proper look,
she was already handing him a pale blue tablet.
"This brand’s dosage is 100mg per pill."
"Normally, if the situation isn’t severe, 50mg should be enough—you can start with half a pill."
"If you feel like your case is worse, take the whole thing."
"Today’s just a simple test to see if this can solve your problem."
"If it works, then your… issue is psychological, not physical."
Xia Yiwei explained everything with clinical professionalism.
But Lin Yu was floored.
He recognized this pill!
The night before his rebirth, he’d been messing around with this very thing.
So in Nurse Xia’s subconscious, he was incapable?!
What kind of sick joke was this?!
This was an outright insult to his dignity!
Lin Yu was now itching to "educate" Xia Yiwei properly—
while doing so, he’d make sure to ask her repeatedly:
"Did it work? Huh? Did it?!"
"Did it work? Huh? Did it?!"
"…"
Looking back now,
those outfits on the folding bed were just part of his treatment?!
With a mocking smirk, Lin Yu sat down beside Xia Yiwei.
He took the pill from her and casually tossed it aside.
Xia Yiwei scrambled to retrieve it, protesting:
"Hey! I paid for that—it wasn’t cheap!"
"You ungrateful little—!"
Lin Yu grabbed her wrist before she could chase after the pill, his tone firm:
"Yiwei, don’t you know?"
"I’ve been fine for a while now—I don’t need that stuff!"
Xia Yiwei eyed him skeptically:
"Fine? Stop lying to save face!"
"In front of medical professionals, you should face reality."
"I… I wouldn’t laugh at you, okay?"
"If all else fails, we can always be sisters!"
"You could even find a boyfriend—guys would love someone like you."
Lin Yu: "…"
Wasn’t she already laughing at him?!
Nurse Xia’s talent for infuriating people in just three sentences remained undiminished, even in the dream world.
Fine.
So she thought he was a joke, huh?
Assuming he was into guys, huh?
Then he’d prove it.
Lin Yu decisively pulled Xia Yiwei toward the heart of the dispute.
This was just a dream world anyway.
If it collapsed, so be it!
Even if it did, he couldn’t let Xia Yiwei’s subconscious retain this humiliating misconception.
"If you don’t believe me, why not check for yourself?"
The moment Xia Yiwei’s hand was pulled forward, her eyes filled with shock.
Stammering, she stared at Lin Yu in disbelief:
"Xiao Yu, you… you’ve gone full Zhao Gao?!"
Lin Yu: "???"
Xia Yiwei: "Where’d it go?"
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Now that he thought about it—
Even though he’d dragged Xia Yiwei’s hand over, he didn’t feel anything?
What the hell?!
Was this some kind of "rule enforcement" unique to the dream world’s owner?
I say you’re incapable, so you are?
He’d never encountered anything like this before—this was a first!
Such an absurd new rule left Lin Yu momentarily baffled.
Was this "rule enforcement" specific to Nurse Xia’s dream world,
or had it always existed for everyone, and he’d just never noticed?
He let go of Xia Yiwei’s hand and tried checking for himself.
Still there!
He pulled Xia Yiwei back again.
Xia Yiwei blinked in confusion:
"Xiao Yu, are you… still searching?"
"Can this thing even move?"
Lin Yu: "!!!"
What the actual—?!
Schrödinger’s junk?!

ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
