Chapter 97 Back to the Starting Point

The dripping sound of medical instruments is very piercing.

[Warning! Warning! The host's health is detected to be too low! ]

"Pupillary light reflex is normal!"

"Have you determined the location of the bleeding?"

"Confirmed! Bring the bandages! The patient is bleeding heavily!"

In Yu Chucheng's shallow and almost fading consciousness, the doctors' hurried voices and the ambulance's sirens mixed together.

The bright light above your head is extremely dazzling, and if you look at it for too long a circle of black light and shadow will appear in front of your eyes.

Before losing consciousness, Yu Chucheng asked the system in his mind whether he was going to die.

But before he could hear the system's response, the doctor rushed forward and pushed him into the operating room.

After receiving the news, Yu Jingchen rushed out of the conference room but was stopped outside the operating room by the doctor.

He looked at the bloodstains on the ground, his face turned pale and blue, and he fell into the cold chair beside him.

One month later.

When Yu Chucheng opened his eyes again, he found that his field of vision had become much smaller and he could only see one side.

"It's a miracle that the car survived even though it was smashed into scrap metal."

"Yeah, before he was injured so badly I thought he wouldn't wake up."

"I'm telling you, his injuries were relatively minor. The director and I went to the scene together. There were three people in the car, including the driver, and he was the only one who survived. Another person in the back seat died on the spot."

"Alas, although he survived, he lost one eye. I don't know whether it is lucky or unfortunate."

Yu Chucheng was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling with his eyes open. There were curtains drawn around his bed, so the nurses didn't notice that he was awake, and he heard every word of their conversation.

That person...

The scene of holding an umbrella outside the exhibition hall in the rain that day emerged in Yu Chucheng's mind.

That was the first and last time he spoke to that man.

"Host, are you okay..." The system, which had been silent for a month, finally emerged as Yu Chucheng woke up.

As soon as he finished speaking, it saw a clear tear sliding down from the corner of Yu Chucheng's eye.

This was the first time the system saw Yu Chucheng cry. He had been bullied so many times by Hao Jia and made so many fools of himself before, but he never cared. It thought that the word "cry" did not exist in Yu Chucheng's dictionary.

"What's wrong with you? If you feel any pain, call for help before the nurse leaves!" the system said in panic.

Yu Chucheng shook his head slightly.

He didn't feel pain in his body, but in his heart.

He clearly remembered that a second before the truck hit him, the man turned around and pressed his head down, protecting him under his body.

Then he heard a loud bang, the world was spinning in front of his eyes, his bones made a crisp sound, and his nose was filled with a strong smell of blood.

If that person hadn't reacted quickly and put his hands in front of him, he would probably have been killed in the car accident.

But why did that person do this? Didn’t they just meet? He couldn’t even remember the person’s name. What was so worthy of the other person protecting his life?

"Cheng Cheng!" Mrs. Yu gently pulled aside the curtain and found that Yu Chucheng had woken up and burst into tears.

Mr. Yu, who was following behind her, quickly grabbed her to prevent her from fainting, also fearing that she would pounce on Yu Chucheng.

Yu Jingchen rushed over from the company. It had only been a month since they last met, and his brother had suddenly become much more haggard. He was usually so meticulous that even his tie couldn't be the slightest bit off, but today he didn't even shave the new stubble on his chin.

Everyone was crying with joy for Yu Chucheng's new life, but Yu Chucheng was the only one who was feeling so sad about someone leaving that he could hardly breathe.

Later, the results of the investigation into the car accident came out. It was found that the truck driver failed to take the inhibitor in time and entered a susceptible period while driving, causing the truck to lose control. The truck driver also lost his life in the accident, and in the end there was no one to hold him accountable.

"Chucheng, I'm sorry I was too busy with work these days and couldn't come to see you in time." Hao Jia sat beside the bed, unable to bear to look at the scar on Yu Chucheng's face. He turned his head and looked at the fruit basket. "These are your favorite fruits. I'll put them here first. I'll come and chat with you after you're stable for a while."

Yu Chucheng moved his bloodless lips and said, "No, go and get busy."

Just then—

[Congratulations, your accumulated points have reached 10,000 points, and you have successfully obtained the qualification to redeem and unbind the card. Do you want to redeem it now? ]

Yu Chucheng's lifeless eyes finally flickered. Perhaps it was because the system judged that what he had just said was licking Hao Jia, which just made up the last two points.

Yu Chucheng was about to exchange it when he suddenly thought of something and paused.

He asked the system in his mind, "Besides redeeming the unbinding card, is there anything else I can redeem?"

The system was very surprised: [Theoretically, it is possible, but I haven’t tried it. ]

"Then let's give it a try." Yu Chucheng stared at the pale ceiling of the hospital silently, "I want to use 10,000 points to go back to the past." He paused, "Any time, as long as it's before the car accident."

The system was shocked: [Think carefully! Using points is irreversible. If you can't go back to the past, all the points you have worked so hard to accumulate for twelve years will be gone, and you will have to start all over again! ]

Yu Chucheng's eyelashes trembled.

Has it been twelve years?

Before he knew it, twelve years had passed since he had traveled into this novel that he had just bought and had not had time to read.

It turned out that it took him so long to accumulate points. He had been with Hao Jia almost all the time during these twelve years. Not only did he have few friends, he also seemed to have no topics to talk about with people of his age. He soon became an older bachelor.

"I've thought it through, use it." Yu Chucheng closed his eyes gently.

If he could really go back to the past, he would never accumulate points while playing badly. He would definitely accumulate 10,000 points in the shortest time possible and stop circling around Hao Jia.

He needs to untie himself from the dog-licking system as soon as possible, so that when he meets the person who holds an umbrella for him again, he can stop and get to know him properly.

[Okay, then be prepared. If you can really go back to the past, you will not remember everything that happened before, or your memory will be confused. I am not sure what will happen.]

*

One day, a sunny afternoon.

"Have I traveled through a book?" Yu Chucheng looked at the face in the mirror that looked exactly like his own. He felt like he was struck by a bolt of lightning, standing there, burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

[Host, hello, welcome to the dog licking system! During the binding period, you need to regularly lick the protagonist of this book, Hao Jia, to gain points. You can unbind from the system only after reaching a certain score! ]

Yu Chucheng instinctively picked up a slipper and smashed it against the door, "Who is the idiot talking? Come out!"

system:"……"

This reaction, this familiar feeling, is exactly the same as before.

Yu Chucheng opened his phone in disbelief, and a date was clearly displayed on the screen - August 3rd.

For some reason, he felt a familiar feeling come over him when he saw the date, but before he could grasp it, the feeling disappeared.

Yu Chucheng didn't think much about it. He just picked up a loose-leaf notebook and started showing off his handwriting.

"August 3rd, a bizarre thing happened today. I actually traveled through a book. I am not from this world, and there is a stupid system in my head that makes me act like a licker for a boy. What a joke. Do you think I am a fool?"
