Chapter 41 Mei Hexuan Flies Away, My Boyfriend is Really Strong

Chapter 41: Mei Hexuan Got Launched—My Boyfriend’s So Tough

This was indeed a problem. The four of them racked their brains for a long time but couldn’t figure it out. Before they knew it, they had already entered the amusement park.

The amusement park in this world was both similar to and different from those on Earth. The similarity lay in the various thrilling and exciting attractions. The difference was that the attractions here were way crazier than those on Earth.

Standing in the amusement park, Yu Xing craned her neck to look at a ride she couldn’t make out—a group of people sitting inside a transparent sphere that was bouncing like crazy. She estimated the highest bounce to be around a hundred meters.

The sphere was flipping every which way, and the people inside screamed hysterically.

Yu Xing took a closer look and saw that there were no safety harnesses inside the sphere—just a seat for each person and a single handrail in front. The visitors inside were desperately clenching their seats and gripping the handrails, letting out screams that could wake the dead.

...Nope. This ride was a bit too intense. Yu Xing decided to pass on that.

The four who had been observing Yu Xing and Mei Hexuan from behind watched the scene. Ke Yuan, his face pale, asked, “Why is the captain staring at the Mind-Blowing Bounce Pod like that?”

“Does she want to ride it?” Zhao Lan asked.

“No…” Da Ya’s face said 'hell no'. “This is too intense. I don’t want to ride it. I heard there was an accident with this ride before—someone was flung out of the ball. They were thrown straight out of the amusement park, smashed through a resident’s window, and died right between a couple who were cheating.”

Miao Yuanjin looked up at the Mind-Blowing Bounce Pod. Of course, she was scared. But when she thought about how this was Yu Xing’s first time at an amusement park, how she had never ridden the Mind-Blowing Bounce Pod before, and how much she seemed to want to try it...

Steeling herself, Miao Yuanjin clenched her fists and blurted out, “Fine! Let’s ride the Mind-Blowing Bounce Pod!”

Zhao Lan and the other two stared at her in pure terror.

Miao Yuanjin said, “We’re a team. We’ll be risking our lives together in the future. Are you really too scared to face some stupid bounce ride together?”

The three of them: “...”

Seeing Yu Xing still staring at the Mind-Blowing Bounce Pod, Mei Hexuan asked, “Want to ride it?”

Just as Yu Xing was about to refuse, Miao Yuanjin popped up out of nowhere, holding six tickets. She said to Yu Xing, “Let’s ride the Bounce Ball. I’ve already bought the tickets.”

Yu Xing: “?!”

Yu Xing’s face was full of refusal, but since the tickets were expensive and no refunds were allowed, she reluctantly got dragged along by her friends onto the Mind-Blowing Bounce Pod.

She told herself: *They love me so much. What’s getting scared silly for their sake?*

The seats inside the Bounce Ball were arranged in pairs. Since Yu Xing and Mei Hexuan were in love, they sat together, while Zhao Lan and the others took the seats behind them.

The Bounce Ball was made of some crystal clear material—so clear that if you didn’t look closely, you could barely see it. The people inside seemed to be floating in thin air.

Yu Xing sat in her seat, white-knuckling the handrails. She turned to Mei Hexuan and said, “Xuan, if you’re scared, just scream. Don’t worry about looking uncool.”

Mei Hexuan mentally rolled his eyes, but because he was feeling guilty after his earlier bad behavior, he replied in a gentle tone, “There’s nothing to be scared of. The amusement park has safety measures. Even if someone flies out of the ball, they won’t get hurt.”

“Really?” Yu Xing let out a relieved breath. As long as there was no real danger, it was fine.

Just then, the Mind-Blowing Bounce Pod started up, giving small bounces at first before gradually increasing in intensity. Finally, after one particularly violent bounce, the ball reached a terrifying height.

Even though Yu Xing was gripping the handrail tightly, she still felt parts of her body getting air. The screams of the other riders filled her ears. She faintly heard Ke Yuan yelling “Mom!” behind her, along with Da Ya’s wailing like a banshee.

But the Mind-Blowing Bounce Pod wasn’t just about bouncing high. There was a ring of equipment around it, and in the later stages, the entire ball would bounce all over the place, like a 3D pinball game Yu Xing had played before.

“AHHHHHHHHH!!!!”

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”

Yu Xing felt like she was trapped inside a washing machine strapped to a roller coaster—with no seatbelt. She was being flung around violently, surrounded by deafening screams.

Finally, she was done. She was just a teenage girl, after all. There was no need to be *that* strong—especially when her beloved boyfriend was right beside her.

Freaking out, she grabbed Mei Hexuan’s hand. Their fingers locked together, and she could feel the sweaty grip of his palm.

Even as he was getting thrown about, Mei Hexuan wasn’t scared. He knew very well about the amusement park’s safety measures. The ground around the Mind-Blowing Bounce Pod was equipped with anti-gravity devices. Even if someone fell out, they would hover just above the ground before landing gently.

So he snorted at the screams around him. *How pathetic, screaming like this when there’s no real danger.*

Just as he rolled his eyes in annoyance, he suddenly felt his left hand tighten—someone was holding it, fingers interlaced with his.

The seats in the Mind-Blowing Bounce Pod were arranged in pairs. Who else could it be but Yu Xing?

The moment their hands locked together, the humiliating kiss on the Seventh Middle School’s corridor flashed through Mei Hexuan’s mind. His hair stood on end, and his brain began replaying the posts on the school forum and the mocking words of his so-called friends like an endless stream.

*“...Mei Hexuan willingly became the other man for love!”*

*“So this is the kind of girl you like...”*

*“Tsk tsk, you actually fell for a commoner girl and even locked lips with her in public. I can practically smell the stench of the lower class on you...”*

He shuddered and instinctively tried to yank his hand away—even as the Bounce Ball continued its wild bouncing.

Yu Xing was too terrified to even open her eyes. One hand clung to the handrail, while the other remained tightly locked with Mei Hexuan’s.

When shaking didn’t work, Mei Hexuan used all his strength to wrench his hand free. He even let go of his other hand to peel Yu Xing’s fingers off. Finally, he succeeded in breaking free.

The moment he did, he felt instant relief. His hair settled back down, and he even smiled in satisfaction.

The next second, the Mind-Blowing Bounce Pod took a sudden wild jerk. Everyone inside lurched to the side. Still smiling, Mei Hexuan went flying out of the ball’s small exit.

“WHOA!!!!!”

The crowd gasped as one. Yu Xing could tell something was wrong—this wasn’t just the screams of the riders inside the ball. People outside were shouting too.

“AHHHHH!!!!”

Another scream.

“HOLY CRAP!!!!”

“HELP!!!!!”

“This is horrifying...”

The shouts grew louder and more chaotic, as if something unbelievable had happened. Yu Xing was too curious. Despite her fear, she peeked through squinted eyes.

The first thing she saw was the distant high walls. She was so high up that she could see several of the Seventh City’s massive walls.

Then she turned her head to check on Xuan. Was he okay? Was he scared?

But the seat beside her was empty.

Where was Xuan?!

Yu Xing’s brain short-circuited. When did he bail?

“He’s out! He’s out!” She heard people shouting from below.

"He flew out!"

"Oh my god, there's no anti-gravity protection outside..."

Due to a major accident in the amusement park's "Mind-Blowing Bounce Pod" ride, a visitor was flung out of the ball during the experience. Since the ball was at its highest point at the time, the visitor was ejected directly out of the amusement park and landed outside. As a result, the "Mind-Blowing Bounce Pod" ride was urgently shut down, and all remaining visitors inside were rescued immediately.

Upon learning of Mei Hexuan's accident, Yu Xing was heartbroken and inconsolable. "How could this happen... Xuan can't be hurt... I won't allow anything to happen to him!"

Zhao Lan and the other three exchanged uneasy glances, while Miao Yuanjin couldn't hide her delight. "That cheating scumbag deserves to die. If he dies, we won’t even have to tell Yu Xing that Mei Hexuan hired people to deal with her."

Ke Yuan was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up. "Right, then we won’t have to worry about upsetting the leader."

Hearing this, Zhao Lan's eye twitched. "If Mei Hexuan dies, Yu Xing won’t be sad? Look how heartbroken she is right now!"

An amusement park staff member was comforting Yu Xing. "Our team has already gone out to search for your boyfriend. The park has state-of-the-art medical equipment—as long as he’s still alive, we can definitely save him."

"Really?" Yu Xing asked tearfully, staring at the cute staffer. "Is my boyfriend still alive? I’d die without him. If he’s gone, I won’t survive either."

The staff member couldn’t guarantee Mei Hexuan’s survival, so he could only console her. "Please don’t think like that. Life is precious—you mustn’t give up on yours for any reason."

Yu Xing sniffed, touched. "You’re so sweet. Talking to you makes me feel better. By the way... you don’t have a girlfriend, do you?"

The staff member froze, a puzzled look appearing on his handsome face. "No, I don’t."

"That’s good." Yu Xing gently wiped the tears from her cheeks and said sincerely, "You’re so gentle with me, I was worried your girlfriend might be upset."

Staff member: "?"

Just then, a commotion erupted at the amusement park entrance. Someone shouted, "Make way! Make way!"

Da Ya stretched to see and yelled, "It’s Mei Hexuan! They’re bringing Mei Hexuan in!"

"Xuan!" Yu Xing immediately turned and ran toward the commotion. She saw Mei Hexuan lying unconscious on a stretcher, drenched in blood, and her heart squeezed in fear. "Xuan... is he alive?"

"He’s alive," said a manager beside the stretcher, wiping sweat from his forehead. "After he was flung out, he landed on a moving sports car. We almost lost him, but thankfully the driver slammed on the brakes. He rolled off the car and fell into a roadside sewer, where a working robot pulled him out. Somehow, he survived."

Hearing this, Yu Xing’s heart felt a little better. Then the manager continued, "When we found him, he was hanging by a thread. I gave him an emergency stabilizer shot right away—his life is stable, and he’s conscious. But he has compound fractures, internal organ damage, and brain hemorrhage. He needs surgery immediately."

"Oh my god." Yu Xing’s heart ached. She covered her mouth with one hand and looked down at Mei Hexuan, only to see his eyes open.

"Why is he shaking?" she asked, distressed.

The manager glanced over. "Oh, injuries this severe are extremely painful. I don’t have any anesthesia on me, so I can’t ease his suffering. But once the surgery starts, he’ll be under anesthesia."

"That’s good." Yu Xing kneeled next to Mei Hexuan, looking at him lovingly. "When can the surgery begin?"

"Very soon," the manager reassured her with a smile. "If nothing goes wrong, we can operate immediately."

"Xuan, did you hear that?" Yu Xing gently took Mei Hexuan’s twisted right hand. "You won’t be in pain soon."

The moment she touched his hand, Mei Hexuan jolted in pain, trying to pull away. But with his body shattered in fractures, even the slightest movement sent agony through him.

To Yu Xing, however, the moment she held his hand, two clear tears streamed down his face.

Xuan... cried from her touch—how touching! He’s so... ugh, I’m speechless.

"Don’t be afraid," Yu Xing whispered, pressing his bloodstained hand against her cheek. "I’ll stay with you the whole time."

Mei Hexuan’s tears flowed even harder.

Behind them, Miao Yuanjin was fuming. "He still didn’t die."

Zhao Lan frowned. "Mei Hexuan... shouldn’t die for this, should he?"

Just then, the manager received a message. "Oh no! The Treatment Pod in the operating room is malfunctioning. Surgery will have to wait."

Hearing this, Mei Hexuan, twisting in pain on the stretcher, let out garbled groans in distress.

"How could this happen?" Yu Xing couldn’t accept it.

"The Treatment Pods here haven’t been used in a long time..." The manager wiped sweat from his brow. "Glitches happen... it’s expected. But don’t worry, we have a backup Treatment Pod in storage. I’ll have someone retrieve it—it’ll only take a few minutes."

"Then hurry up!" Yu Xing was frantic. "Xuan is in so much pain!"

"Right away!" The manager nodded frantically. "I’ll contact them now."

After another few minutes of waiting, just as Yu Xing thought the surgery could finally begin, the manager received another piece of bad news.

"What?!" he roared into his terminal. "How could the storage key be missing?!"

Then, wiping his sweat, he turned to Yu Xing sheepishly. "I’m sorry... the storage key is lost. The backup Treatment Pod... will take a bit longer."

On the stretcher, Mei Hexuan convulsed once before blacking out.

"Xuan!" Yu Xing wailed. "Xuan, what’s wrong?!"

Seeing this, the manager crouched down, pulled another injection from his pocket, and administered it to Mei Hexuan. Then he turned to Yu Xing with a smile. "Relax, I’ve got enough meds to keep him alive."

As he spoke, Mei Hexuan slowly regained consciousness. The manager grinned. "See? He’s up. These meds work like a charm—even if surgery takes three days, he won’t die."

The moment Mei Hexuan woke up and heard this, his eyes rolled back as he tried to faint again. But the injection was too effective—he couldn’t even pass out.

To comfort Yu Xing, the manager added, "Your boyfriend’s accident is truly regrettable, but we won’t shirk responsibility. Aside from covering his treatment, we’ll also offer you monetary compensation. How does that sound?"

"I don’t want money. I just want Xuan to recover," Yu Xing said, gripping Mei Hexuan’s hand tightly.

Before she could finish, Miao Yuanjin jumped in. She shot Yu Xing a glare before turning to the manager. "We’ll take the compensation! Transfer it directly to Yu Xing’s account. Her account number is..."

As she rattled off the numbers, Miao Yuanjin thought in frustration, *Yu Xing is so foolish. She’s broke—why turn down free money? Thank god I’m around. I won’t let her miss out.*

Lying on the stretcher, forced to endure the agony of his shattered bones, Mei Hexuan heard that the compensation would go to Yu Xing’s account. Unable to hold back, he spat out a mouthful of blackish blood.

Yu Xing gasped. "What’s happening?!"

The manager glanced over calmly. "That’s expected. His internal organs are damaged—blood this color is normal."

"Oh." Yu Xing exhaled in relief. "That’s good to know."

After about an hour, the manager finally announced, "We’ve got the storage unlocked. Let’s get him to surgery."

A large group rushed toward the operating room, only to collide with a doctor at the entrance. The moment the doctor saw the manager, he shouted, "Disaster! The new Treatment Pod has no anesthesia, and there’s none in storage either!"

The manager paled. "Can’t we use the anesthesia from the old Treatment Pod?"

"No," the doctor shook his head. "The two Treatment Pods are different models—the anesthetics don’t match."

"Now what?" The manager looked helplessly at Yu Xing.

Yu Xing glanced down at Mei Hexuan and saw him frantically blinking at her. With his body immobilized, his eyes were the only part he could move. He was trying to tell her—*Skip this place—get me to a hospital! Without anesthesia, I can’t have surgery. I’ve waited this long anyway, so I can wait a little longer to get to a hospital.*

After staring into his eyes for a moment, a look of realization dawned on Yu Xing. She then nodded at Mei Hexuan and said, "I understand. Don't worry."

Mei Hexuan relaxed his expression, stopped struggling, and his eyes fluttered shut in exhaustion.

Yu Xing turned around, her eyes glistening with tears, and said to the doctor, "My boyfriend said he can do it. He can handle the surgery without anesthesia. Please treat him as soon as possible. I beg you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the exhausted Mei Hexuan suddenly widened his eyes, his eyes so wide they looked ready to bleed. He struggled desperately on the stretcher, letting out muffled, frantic grunts, "Ngh—! Ngh—!"

Hearing the commotion, Yu Xing glanced back. Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, she said to everyone, "Quick, take him to the operating room. He’s practically begging to go."

"Now *that’s* a tough guy!" the manager exclaimed in admiration.

The doctor also sighed, "In all my years of practice, I've never seen someone so strong. Truly admirable."

The manager then said to Yu Xing, "You two are really something special. Young people these days are often so casual about relationships—it's rare to see something like yours."

And so, Mei Hexuan was rolled into surgery. Until the doors closed, he kept staring at Yu Xing with desperate reluctance, like he was memorizing her face down to the last detail.

At this point, Ke Yuan finally voiced his confusion in a low voice, "Don’t you think... Mei Hexuan is having the worst luck today?"

"He deserves it," Miao Yuanjin snapped, her voice dripping with venom, still resentful that Mei Hexuan was alive. "He should be grateful he’s alive."

Da Ya gnawed at her thumbnail and remarked, "You really hate Mei Hexuan, huh? Since when did you and the team leader get so close?"

Then, Zhao Lan said in a low, eerie voice, "Didn’t you notice... Yu Xing was holding Mei Hexuan’s hand the whole time? Remember, her Divine Skill is..."

The three froze in realization—"..."

Their eyes turned toward the operating room doors. Even though they disliked Mei Hexuan, they couldn’t help but feel a pang of pity for him now.

After a moment of silence, Miao Yuanjin suddenly remembered something and looked at Zhao Lan. "So, you noticed this the whole time but didn’t warn Yu Xing..."

Zhao Lan tilted her head slightly, staring at the ceiling like it held the secrets of the universe, making her reluctant to look away.

Because Mei Hexuan’s injuries were so severe, the surgery would take a long time. The doctor said it wouldn’t be over before 10 p.m. The manager suggested they hit up a few more rides, but Yu Xing was in no mood. It was only when Miao Yuanjin said she was hungry that they finally left to find something to eat.

After the accident, the park had emptied out. The *Mind-Blowing Bounce Pod* ride was closed for repairs, and the crowd had thinned by half, leaving the park eerily deserted.

The five of them walked together, with Yu Xing in the middle, dragging her feet, clearly miserable. The other four chatted about various foods, trying to snap her out of it.

During the conversation, Miao Yuanjin accidentally glanced to the right—and frowned.

Something was wrong... very wrong...

About twenty meters to her right was a tame ride called *Whispering Breeze*. A group of people stood around it, clustered together, fixated on something.

Miao Yuanjin stopped in her tracks, and the others noticed, halting as well.

"What’s wrong?" Zhao Lan asked.

Da Ya followed Miao Yuanjin’s gaze and wondered, "What are those people gathered around?"

Ke Yuan stood on his tiptoes, trying to see, but spotted nothing. "Should we go take a look?"

They took a couple of steps in that direction when Miao Yuanjin suddenly froze, she barked, her voice razor-sharp, "No! Don’t go over there!"

The other four jumped in surprise, gaping at her, bewildered.

Miao Yuanjin’s face was pale, her eyes locked onto it, unblinking. "Something’s wrong," she said. "That place is *wrong*."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Lan asked in confusion. "How is it wrong?"

"It's terrifying..." Miao Yuanjin trembled slightly. "There's something terrifying over there..."

"Scary?" Da Ya didn't understand. "What could be scary in an amusement park?"

Before anyone could respond, Zhao Lan suddenly went pale. She stared at Miao Yuanjin in shock. "You feel scared? The Moon God Chosen's sensitivity to corruption is much stronger than other Divine Chosen. Have you encountered corrupted beings before?"

Miao Yuanjin's face turned even paler. She shook her head. "No, I've never encountered corrupted beings before."

A heavy tension fell over them as everyone stared in that direction.

A crowd was gathered there, standing silent, heads bowed, all looking at something on the ground. In the center, there must have been something.

Watching this, Miao Yuanjin began to shiver.

"It's horrifying..." Her voice turned shrill with fear. "It's getting scarier..."

Suddenly, a piercing wail cut through the crowd.

"Waaah... waaah... waaah..."

The baby's cry suddenly shattered the silence. The previously silent crowd began to speak.

"It's born, it's born."

"Finally born."

"How wonderful."

"This is so good."

"Truly moving..."

Yu Xing set her jaw and stepped forward. Miao Yuanjin shouted urgently, "Don't go! There's corruption there!"

Yu Xing flashed a reassuring smile. She had already handled two corrupted cases before and wasn't so vulnerable.

When she reached the crowd, she still couldn't see what was happening inside. So Yu Xing shouldered her way through until she reached the center. What she saw sent an instant chill down her spine.

Dead center in the crowd sat a woman on the ground.

The woman wore a blue skirt, sitting in a large pool of blood. But that wasn't the shocking part. What horrified her was the naked newborn baby in her arms.

The baby was still connected by its umbilical cord.

The woman's clothes were partially open as she breastfed. Yu Xing clearly saw the baby's mouth open, revealing rows of needle-sharp teeth. The teeth pierced the woman's skin, digging into her flesh as the baby greedily sucked her blood.

With each suck, the woman's body withered slightly, like a deflating balloon. The baby, meanwhile, swelled grotesquely before her eyes.

Yet the surrounding crowd acted oblivious, all wearing beatific smiles.

"It's born, it's born."

"How wonderful."

"This is so good."

"What a lovely child."

"So happy..."
