Lost and Found
With 007 as the intermediary, Chu Yuan was quickly teleported to the world where Zhu Yan was.
Unlike the hospital he had imagined, Zhu Yan's ward was a high-end private ward, and he was the only one in the room.
The first time Chu Yuan saw Zhu Yan, he couldn't hold back his tears.
It's only been a dozen days since we last saw each other, but the once energetic man is now lying there lifeless with several tubes inserted into his body.
The only evidence that he was still alive was the life monitor at the bedside.
After bringing her into this world, 007 did not disturb her. He just said, "Call me if anything happens," and then disappeared from Chu Yuan's mind.
She walked forward step by step and stopped beside his bed, as if she wanted to look at him more deeply, more deeply, to fill the days when they had not seen each other.
Soon, the person on the bed seemed to sense something and moved his stiff fingers.
He tried his best to open his eyes, but he could only open them a tiny slit and couldn't see the person in front of him clearly. But he seemed to know who it was and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it you?"
Unable to make out what he was saying, Chu Yuan wiped away her tears and leaned forward, squatting beside him. "What?"
Zhu Yan's fingers moved again, and Chu Yuan held them.
The hands that always gave her warmth became cold, with instruments still clamped on their fingers.
They were very close, and this time Chu Yuan could clearly hear him say, "It's you, you came into my dream."
With a bit of joy, Chu Yuan's tears that he had been holding back fell again, "It's not a dream, I'm here."
The corners of his lips curled up, as if he was happy, "Since you're here, you won't leave."
Chu Yuan had never seen Zhu Yan so weak, nor had he seen him so cautious. He was even afraid to ask a question.
She shook her head. "I'm not leaving."
"That's great." After saying this, Zhu Yan closed his eyes again.
"007! 007!" Chu Yuan was so panicked that he even forgot to check the vital sign. He kept asking 007, "How is he? Is he still alive?"
007, who was called, yawned leisurely, "He's alive, just weak and closed his eyes again. It's nothing serious, General Xiaochu, you just need to stay with him for a while."
After hearing what it said, Chu Yuan felt relieved and also felt that she was a little stupid just now. There was a life detector next to her, but she still asked 007. Now she was laughed at.
After a while, he finally felt relieved when he saw that Zhu Yan was really fine and just fell asleep.
In a daze, she realized that she had come from her previous world to Zhu Yan's world. Everything was so real, yet it felt unreal.
She wanted to look through the window to see what the world he was in was like, but she couldn't break free from Zhu Yan's hand. Every time she tried harder, Zhu Yan also tried harder.
"No, I won't leave." She comforted Zhu Yan, who had a frown on his face.
Just sitting next to him and watching him, Chu Yuan fell asleep unknowingly.
When she woke up again, the man lying on the bed had sat up. He was still very weak, but he could barely lean on his side. He was staring at her, with a glimmer of light in his dark eyes.
Perhaps it was because he was homesick, the person he had been thinking about was now in front of him, and Chu Yuan didn't know what to say.
"You're awake." she said tentatively.
"Yeah." The man nodded, his voice still hoarse.
Chu Yuan recalled that the night before she left, she was still the woman Zhu Yan liked, so it should be the same now.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the man ask again, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
In an instant, it felt like falling into an ice cellar.
Chu Yuan sat there blankly, without any extra thoughts in his mind, except for one thing: he didn't remember me.
She couldn't believe it and looked into Zhu Yan's eyes again, but she could only see indifference and alienation in them.
No, that's not the case. There should be tenderness and love in his eyes when he looks at me.
Chu Yuan wanted to leave and go home. He had clearly prepared himself that he would not remember him, but when he actually saw the man he didn't recognize, he still felt so sad.
"I." For the first time, she was so nervous that she couldn't speak. She clenched her hands together, which still had Zhu Yan's warmth on them. "I'm the nanny who came to take care of you."
It should be called this word, nanny, this is the best identity she can find for herself.
"Nanny?" He asked doubtfully. At that moment, Chu Yuan was suddenly afraid that he would not recognize her and would treat her as a stranger and drive her out.
It would be fine if I could just take care of him for a while, and then leave when he recovers.
She was still thinking with her head down, and missed the smile that flashed across Zhu Yan's eyes.
"Then nanny, please help me." He stretched out his arm and placed it on Chu Yuan's hand. "I want to go to the bathroom now."
"oh oh."
For some unknown reason, Chu Yuan decided to become a real nanny. She was responsible for arranging everything from eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and sleeping, and she also had to watch entertaining variety shows with him.
However, the variety show that was shown over and over again was the wilderness survival variety show in which they participated together.
During these few days, she watched the film with Zhu Yan four times, from beginning to end.
When she first watched it, Chu Yuan was a little sad. She should have a place in all the clips and all the figures in the movie, and the place next to Zhu Yan should also be hers.
She should have been able to stand beside Zhu Yan openly instead of using the excuse of being a nanny.
All of these were lost because of the last accident. It’s impossible to say that I don’t feel sad.
Chu Yuan finally understood what the storybook meant when it said that things in the world are unpredictable.
After watching it for the third and fourth time, this feeling gradually dissipated.
Because that annoying Zhu Yan always picked out a few clips and asked her, "What do you think of this? What do you think should happen next? Who got the box in the end?"
What happened during those days was like engraved in her bones, how could she not have an answer?
She can even predict what everyone will do next and say a certain sentence accurately.
"Then which place do you think left the deepest impression on you?" Zhu Yan asked.
Chu Yuan thought about it and said with a smile, "The tree climbing part, and the time when we were playing with Han Xiaoyan, it was so much fun."
Looking back now, I still find Han Xiaoyan’s expressions funny. To a certain extent, these temporary friends of hers brought her a lot of happiness.
"I think so."
"Isn't it?" Chu Yuan just picked up the conversation, thinking that we really do have the same taste, when he heard Zhu Yan say, "But tree climbing and all that stuff aren't even on the show."
Chu Yuan was suddenly choked by what he wanted to say, and he couldn't say anything.
She looked at Zhu Yan's expression tentatively, afraid that he might discover something, but Zhu Yan's face remained calm and there was nothing unusual about it.
It's okay.
It's not just about watching the show. In the evening, when the elder brother is unhappy, he asks her to tell a story.
Chu Yuan didn't know what the story was, so he could only tell some not-so-serious storybooks he had read before.
However, this guy was difficult to please and criticized the story she told.
"How cliché! I definitely wouldn't do that if it were me."
"Is this scholar a fool? He has passed the imperial examination and doesn't even know his own name."
"Well, he is a fool. Only a fool doesn't recognize his lover."
Chu Yuan was so angry that his temper exploded, "Why are you talking so much? Why don't you do the talking?!"
At this time, Chu Yuan was like the Chu Yuan of the past, and even with his little temper he looked so cute.
Zhu Yan smiled. After a few days of treatment, his health had improved a lot. Now he could speak without effort and move freely.
He leaned back, looked at the angry Chu Yuan, smiled, and said meaningfully, "I just think there's something wrong with this scholar. If it were me, I would be able to recognize my lover no matter what she looks like."
Speaking of this, Chu Yuan became even angrier.
He could recognize anyone! He just didn't recognize her!
Thinking of this, Chu Yuan felt a little aggrieved and said, "I think there's something wrong with you."
After saying this, she turned her head away, not wanting to look at the smiling man in front of her anymore.
She clearly came here to find him, but he treated her like a stranger these past few days. At first, he just asked her to do things without saying anything, but now he is so mean and picky when talking to her!
"Ah." The man sighed softly and reached out to touch the angry woman's head, very gently, just like he used to comfort her. "Are you unhappy?"
Chu Yuan didn't say anything and didn't want to pay attention to him.
"Actually, I want to hear you talk about your world." He said, his tone was helpless and a little indulgent.
"My world?" Chu Yuan snorted, thinking about what was in his world. "In my world, I have everything I want."
It was a world that belonged exclusively to her, with abundant energy. Whatever she wanted could become reality as soon as she thought about it.
Thinking of this, Chu Yuan became even angrier. There was no bad person there who could make her so angry!
"Whatever you want, you can get it." Zhu Yan laughed, "Is there anything you can't get in that world?"
"Yes." Chu Yuan turned his head and looked at Zhu Yan, who still had a smile on his face.
The one you can’t get is you.
Because I miss you and worry about you, I come to your world.
At that moment, Zhu Yan seemed to understand what she meant and touched her head, "I have it too."
I also have things in this world that I want but cannot have.
I have prayed countless times and now it finally appears before me.
"You have it too?" Chu Yuan didn't understand. Zhu Yan was obviously a top existence in this world, but there was something he couldn't get.
Zhu Yan didn't explain any further, but sighed and said, "Go to sleep."
At night, everything was quiet. Because of Chu Yuan's arrival, Zhu Yan specially added a bed in the room.
Chu Yuan lay on the bed and looked at Zhu Yan with his eyes closed, feeling even more sad.
In the past, they always slept in the same bed together, but now they had to sleep in separate beds. Zhu Yan really treated her differently.
She was really bored and called 007, "Should I leave soon?"
"Huh?" 007 was stunned for a moment, "Why do you say that?"
Could it be that Zhu Yan is against General Xiaochu? Then 007's 70-meter-long sword can no longer be hidden.
"No." Chu Yuan said with a hint of disappointment, "He doesn't even remember me, what am I still doing here? Besides, his illness seems to be getting better."
Once Zhu Yan recovered from his illness, he would have no reason to exist.
"Oh~" 007 withdrew his hand just as he was about to take out the knife. So that's what happened. As the system brain, he didn't know the complex emotions of humans. 007 said tentatively, "How about you wait a little longer?"
"What are you waiting for?" Chu Yuan pouted, unhappy.
This world is so unhappy!
"Hmm..." 007 didn't know what to wait for. Someone told it to wait, so it had to stabilize Chu Yuan first. "Wait a few more days, until he's fully recovered."
"All right."
Chu Yuan fell asleep with depression, not noticing that after she fell asleep, the man who had been closing his eyes opened his eyes and looked at her with tenderness and tenderness, as if he was looking at a treasure that had been lost and found again.
