Chapter 841: Chapter 843: Finally No Longer Playing Solo Mode

Zhao Guangran peered in and saw his elder brother reading a book in the room, while Gong Ruini lay there quietly.

Zhao Guangran sighed. From the beginning of October to now, it’s been seven months, and it’s already May.

"Ni Zi, if you don’t wake up soon, you’ll have to stay in first year, while Nana and I move on to second year."

Despite Gong Ruini’s outstanding previous grades, for a girl who hasn’t attended high school, teachers wouldn’t let her skip first year courses, no matter how good her junior high grades were.

"Ni Zi, wake up. Being first doesn’t feel good." Zhao Guangran felt melancholy, as he never expected the pressure of constantly staying at the top of the class.

In the past, Zhao Guangran thought he had good connections, knew lots of people, but now he sees it differently because he overheard people who were quite close with him speaking behind his back.

It made Zhao Guangran angry that people said he used to have average grades but now excels, suspecting someone gave him the answers.

They even claimed it might be the teachers rigging things, which enraged Zhao Guangran.

If it was the usual betrayers, Zhao Guangran wouldn’t care, knowing those people behave that way. But this time, many close friends also said such things about him.

Zhao Guangran never expected them to say such things, which made him furious.

Although many defended him, arguing his previous grades were already decent and with some effort he could score well, rumors still spread uncontrollably.

Zhao Xuran often heard Zhao Guangran complaining to Gong Ruini about these matters. Initially, he would advise Zhao Guangran to be cautious and avoid discussing negative things before Ni Zi.

Especially since the reason for Ni Zi’s condition was diagnosed by both his mom and Grandpa Zhuge as stress-related, why add to her unhappiness with such talk?

But in the end, Zhao Xuran was persuaded by Zhao Guangran, who insisted Ni Zi needed to know the ugly side of classmates to wake up.

Zhao Xuran held onto hope and anticipation, wishing for Gong Ruini to wake up, but from October until New Year’s, then Spring Festival, and now past Labor Day, heading into summer, Gong Ruini remained asleep.

Zhao Xuran would be lying if he said he wasn’t disheartened, but as his mom suggested, it’s not impossible for someone in a coma to awaken. Ultimately, they can’t give up.

Today, Zhao Guangran was unusually upset. Normally, he’d chat briefly with Gong Ruini and leave, but today he persistently talked to her at length.

Gong Ruini, habitually leaving the Mist Space, wanted to listen to what the annoying guy next door was saying. She only heard sounds, not words, even when she tried sending SOS signals during pauses, there was no response, making her almost vomit blood with anger.

"But this voice sounds so familiar." Gong Ruini sensed multiple voices, suggesting several people were together, but why were they all acting pretentious?

Before stepping out, Gong Ruini had eaten several mangoes and peaches, feeling strong and ready to seize any chance to get her message through.

"This..." As Gong Ruini looked for an opportunity, suddenly the incoming voice became so clear.

Clear enough that Gong Ruini realized it was Zhao Guangran speaking. How was it his voice?

Gong Ruini couldn’t believe she was hearing Zhao Guangran’s voice. Was it because she missed her family so much that her ears malfunctioned and automatically matched familiar voices?

But why not her mom and dad’s voices, she wondered.

As Gong Ruini continued to deny herself, the next words she heard stunned her.

She, she was still in this world, she hadn’t left, or rather she was in a coma.

How had she passed out, Zhao Guangran was dumbfounded, and then suddenly recalled the last memory before the coma, but how could she be in a coma for so long when there were two experts at home?

Gong Ruini couldn’t understand why she was still in a coma, but when she heard if she remained comatose, she’d have to stay in first year, what did that mean?

Gong Ruini was truly confused; hadn’t they just entered school? How come they were moving to second year, she couldn’t be in a coma for that long.

Gong Ruini couldn’t believe she had been in a coma so long because of Wei Zehao, and more importantly, it was already the second semester of first year, oh my god.

Gong Ruini was stunned, now truly facing a bit of a dilemma.

It’s not that Gong Ruini wasn’t confident about whether, after coming out, she could ace exams to rank second in her grade. At this point, the textbooks weren’t that difficult, and Gong Ruini often skipped grades, so for her parents it was no surprise she could score well.

Relieved at the thought, Gong Ruini wasn’t afraid to score such extraordinary grades, not wanting to draw attention.

But why was she in a coma for so long this time? Gong Ruini was puzzled. She vaguely remembered having been in a coma before, but only for a few days.

What was going on here, Gong Ruini began to ponder.

"Ahhhh, am I not going to wake up at all?" Gong Ruini suddenly considered the possibility that she might end up as a vegetable.

With more than half a year gone, and even the doctors at home couldn’t do anything to wake her, does this mean Zhan Jing and the others haven’t found a good solution? 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Oh god, Gong Ruini was about to lose it. Today she could hear Zhao Guangran’s complaints and understand how her family was doing, but she was like a person from another world, unable to communicate with them.

This feeling left Gong Ruini deeply unhappy, a feeling of wanting to cry.

In the days that followed, although Gong Ruini still couldn’t grasp the time displacement ratio between the Mist Space and Zhao Guangran, she no longer spent her time idly inside the space.

Gong Ruini often stayed outside, listening to Zhao Guangran’s complaints, hearing her brother talk about recent academic achievements and their progress in studying various medicines.

Listening to her parents nag, saying things like how unfilial she was for being so stubbornly asleep.

As for her older brother, he was definitely a straightforward guy, frequently telling her about business matters, like profits made, or school incidents he encountered.

Gong Ruini listened quietly as they spoke, and outside people often cried while talking, whereas inside the Mist Space, Gong Ruini had long since cried her eyes out.

These were positives, but what Gong Ruini didn’t expect was that throughout her coma, Zhao Xuran slept every night on the nearby couch, worried that she might wake up at any moment.
