Chen Yu'er helped Chu Tian ascend to the third floor.
She took out a key and opened a room.
As soon as they entered, Chu Tian smelled a faint scent of disinfectant.
To be honest, he disliked this smell.
However, the presence of this smell simultaneously triggered Chu Tian's memories.
After graduating from high school, he heard that Chen Yu'er had been admitted to a good medical university.
It seemed that the illusion was generating these scenes based on his memory fragments.
"I'll go get the first-aid kit!"
Chen Yu'er placed Chu Tian on the sofa, said something, and then ran into another room.
Chu Tian turned to observe. The renovation in this room was clearly recent.
Otherwise, in such an old building, there wouldn't be such modern interior decoration.
"You're quite seriously injured. I'll give you a basic treatment first, and then we still need to go to the hospital."
Chen Yu'er took out iodophor from the first-aid kit and wiped the abrasions Chu Tian had sustained from falling.
Seeing the face that had become blurry in his memory.
"You seem to be doing alright!" Chu Tian suddenly spoke.
"Not too bad!" Chen Yu'er diligently cleaned Chu Tian's wounds.
"Why are you still living here?" Chu Tian continued to ask.
"Where else would I live? With my meager salary, if I rented a place, even affording meals would be a problem!"
Chen Yu'er's lips curved upwards, her expression a mix of self-deprecation.
Chu Tian fell silent.
Chen Yu'er also remained quiet until she started wiping the wound on Chu Tian's forehead.
Their faces were only ten centimeters apart.
Chu Tian had also figured it out; since it was an illusion, what was there to be afraid of?
From initially not daring to look, he suddenly met Chen Yu'er's gaze directly!
Faced with Chu Tian's sudden intense stare, Chen Yu'er couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
His profound gaze made her feel inexplicably nervous and flustered, especially with them being so close.
A blush crept onto her cheeks.
"You... why are you staring at me?" Chen Yu'er hastily finished wiping the last wound on Chu Tian's forehead and crouched down to pack away the medical kit.
Seeing this, Chu Tian said with a playful expression.
"Chen, the campus beauty, you're quite brave to bring me home like this. Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?"
"Uh..." Chen Yu'er froze upon hearing this, then pouted and retorted.
"Saving you? Forget it! You followed me for three years in high school; you think I don't know you? You're the typical type who has the desire but not the guts!
Besides... with your current condition, what can you possibly do to me?"
Hearing her recall those past events, Chu Tian felt a moment of awkwardness.
"You know?"
"Of course, I know. That love letter Tao Jiayu publicized, it wasn't written to her, was it?" Chen Yu'er's eyes flashed with a knowing light.
Chu Tian became instantly flustered upon hearing this.
He cursed inwardly, this damned illusion.
Since you want to play, this old man will play along.
Chu Tian realized that since he had fallen into the illusion, the other party hadn't launched any substantial attacks on him.
The purpose of the illusion had always been to break his state of mind.
As for being shot down from the sky earlier.
It was probably because he had flown too high, and there happened to be a flying creature at the Saint Body realm nearby, which directly struck him.
Moreover, that creature didn't seem to have attacked him actively.
Perhaps it was also trapped in an illusion array and flying erratically, colliding with him.
Otherwise, if a Saint Body realm creature had actively attacked from above, he would have sustained far more than this damage.
Since all of this was fake, why should he be so restrained?
Seeing Chen Yu'er stand up, let down her ponytail, and face the mirror.
Chu Tian stood up and walked behind her.
Chen Yu'er had absolutely no idea that Chu Tian, so severely injured, could still get up.
Seeing Chu Tian appear in the mirror, she was startled.
"Ah..." she exclaimed softly and turned around.
Chu Tian, however, extended an arm, propping himself against the wall beside Chen Yu'er.
At the same time, he placed a hand on Chen Yu'er's shoulder, pressing her body against the mirror.
He had cornered her against the wall, his eyes fixed on Chen Yu'er.
"You... what are you doing?" Chen Yu'er was both shy and frightened by Chu Tian's actions.
She struggled with very little force, unsure if it was to avoid aggravating Chu Tian's injuries or if she truly possessed only that much strength.
Seeing Chen Yu'er blush like a startled rabbit.
Chu Tian gently extended a finger, lifted her chin, and said with a devilish smile.
"Chen, the campus beauty, since you know everything, if Tao Jiayu hadn't interfered back then, would you have been my girlfriend?"
Seeing Chen Yu'er blush like a little rabbit.
Chu Tian's lips twitched, he gently extended a finger, lifted her chin, and said with a devilish smile.
"Chen, the campus beauty, do you see now if I have the desire but not the guts?
And since you know I watched you every day after school at the corner,
and you never told my parents or reported me to a teacher... does that mean... you liked me too?"
"I..." Chen Yu'er's delicate body trembled at his words.
Her ears and neck turned completely red.
She didn't dare to look at Chu Tian.
Chu Tian, however, pressed his advantage, leaning his face closer and teasing, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent!"
As he spoke, he moved his face closer and closer, and just as their lips were about to touch Chen Yu'er's tender, full red lips.
"You... you're so bad!"
Chen Yu'er finally couldn't bear Chu Tian's intense assault.
Using all her strength, she shyly pushed him away and fled to the bedroom, slamming the door shut fiercely.
However, as she closed the door, her beautiful eyes secretly glanced at Chu Tian.
Chu Tian saw a hint of shy, yet tender sweetness in her eyes!
After Chen Yu'er disappeared behind the door, Chu Tian couldn't help but chuckle lightly.
A sense of relief and catharsis washed over him.
He thought back to how he had a crush on her back then, never daring to confess, and his only courageous love letter was intercepted by that vile woman, Tao Jiayu.
Now, this illusion was quite good.
It gave Chu Tian the chance to boldly take that step, mending the regret of the past.
Since he knew it was fake, there were no psychological barriers.
Chu Tian didn't dwell on this teasing session.
His heart was already filled with one person: Luo Luo.
He smiled off the previous farcical wedding.
Chu Tian sat down and re-examined his injuries.
To his surprise, the muscles around his fractured shoulder blade were wriggling, pushing the dislocated bones back into their original positions.
His five broken ribs in his chest had also rejoined.
Even his displaced internal organs were gradually recovering under the guidance of the Life Tree's tendrils.
This discovery filled Chu Tian with great joy.
His body's recovery ability was now almost comparable to Superman's.
He then activated his Ancient Tree Form and applied two sets of healing skills to himself.
Now, all he needed was time for his serious injuries to heal naturally.
He sat in the living room, waiting for a long time, but Chen Yu'er didn't come out.
He went to knock on the door, but there was no answer.
He applied a little more force, and the door opened easily.
Immediately, Chu Tian froze on the spot.
All he saw was a sea of crimson.
