Mist

Chapter 99: Overload

After being ruthlessly kicked off the high-rise building, Song Qinglan free-fell from a height of 116 floors.
Suddenly, his entire body felt an upwards pull. Someone had grabbed his arm in the nick of time, causing him to hang in the air. Only the dark Shen Mian fell down into the depths below.

“Come up!!!”
Someone yelled from above his head. The words were forced out through gritted teeth.

Song Qinglan looked up. The person who had grabbed him was another Ji Yushi.

Half of Ji Yushi’s body was stuck on the railing. Because the speed and weight of a falling human body was more than what he could support, the arm holding Song Qinglan was in a very unnatural angle. His entire face was flushed red, “Quick…..come up!!!”

The veins on the back of his slender hand were bulging.

This Ji Yushi came from the new cycle. It was the Ji Yushi who disappeared in Song Qinglan’s arms earlier.
Clearly, Song Qinglan who was kicked to his death after teasing his boyfriend and his teammates who were about to meet their ends allowed for the new cycle to appear. Ji Yushi who was on the 115th floor managed to intercept him before his death.

One time and space, one floor apart, two Ji Yushi’s.
Two completely different treatments.

This strange and absurd experience was probably something only traversers like them would experience.

Song Qinglan immediately held onto the other party’s wrist and pulled himself up.

The railing was broken and crumbling. Bearing the weight of two people, it creaked dully, as if it was about to break the next second and send the two of them into the abyss below.

Fortunately, Song Qinglan had amazing arm strength. With Ji Yushi’s assistance, he managed to pull himself up, grab hold of the railing and use both the railing and Ji Yushi’s strength to successfully climb up.

After climbing over the railing, Ji Yushi rushed over before Song Qinglan could even have the chance to stabilise himself.
The two stumbled back a few steps. This time it was Song Qinglan who was pushed against the wall. Ji Yushi wasn’t weak and the impact on his back was painful.

The adrenaline from the fall still hadn’t subsided. Song Qinglan was still in a highly tense mental state.
He leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.
He couldn’t help but let out a few low laughs. He seemed to be very satisfied.

Immediately afterwards, he used an even greater strength to embrace the other party back. Relying on his height advantage, he buried his face deeply into the neck of the person in his arms.

It was hot.
This was real.
Tears couldn’t help but well up.

The two embraced tightly, wanting to squeeze each other into their bodies.
The kiss from when they first reunited was already done. Right now, they just wanted to completely take in the fact that the other party was real, feel the other persons presence and feel their heartbeat.

For Ji Yushi, only this would allow him to feel that he was truly alive.
Since returning to Ouroboros, he had always felt like he was about to go mad.

The moment he met Song Qinglan, he knew that he wasn’t alone and knew that it wasn’t a hallucination. He was finally able to return to the world called sanity.
This excited him more than anything else.

Ji Yushi’s heart raced very quickly, the blood pounding in his ears. Song Qinglan said something by his ear, but he didn’t hear him. He loosened his hand slightly and looked up, “What?”

His eyes were clean and clear, and filled with calmness and wisdom.
Only when facing Song Qinglan would those defences completely disappear, leaving only the trust and dependence that even he himself was unaware of.
