To recover his memory and life, Xu Keke enters various eras to start a counterattack journey to demand justice for the resentful side characters of era novels.
Rehabilitation is non-existent,...
Without Xu Keke needing to say anything more, Zhou Heng acted swiftly. He had the room isolated using a special transparent material. From the outside, one could vaguely see Wei Chi examining Xu Keke, but the clearer view was obscured.
This is the only way that doesn't violate the Tianyan live streaming agreement.
It wasn't that Xu Keke didn't want to shut down the live stream, but rather that violating the agreement would result in a large sum of money being paid in compensation. Although the agreement wasn't signed by Xu Keke, it was signed in her name by her guardians, the Xu family, while she was in a coma. Therefore, if there was to be compensation, she would still have to pay it.
"The live stream will automatically shut down at 9 p.m.
Zhou Heng kindly told her this and handed her the writing board.
Xu Keke looked at the writing board in her hand and almost laughed. How much people miss the old days! They've restored almost all their daily necessities to their original state. Retro style is being promoted everywhere.
Like this writing tablet, it's clearly an LCD screen with all the usable functions, yet it's been imitated as a small blackboard with a wooden frame from an old era. Even the touch points, which are clearly useless, are made to look like chalk.
Xu Keke shook her head and handed the somewhat familiar writing board back to Zhou Heng. If it really needed to be kept secret, she could tell him after nine o'clock; she wasn't in a hurry.
Xu Keke asked Wei Chi, "What did you do to me after I fell into a coma? Why did my consciousness enter other dimensions?"
Wei Chi had already taken out a complete set of examination equipment from his work kit. He was preparing to draw her blood when he heard her ask, so he stopped and deliberately looked up at her. "That's a newly developed game. I was worried that if you were unconscious for too long, your brain would have problems, so I installed a chip game for you. I thought it had failed because your brainwaves weren't responding."
Xu Keke couldn't see it, but Zhou Heng, standing at the foot of the bed, could see the comments outside. They were all asking for the game's name. Then, some people started analyzing, having searched for all the recently developed motion-sensing games.
Then he checked them one by one until he saw one of the game names they had listed. Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly. He suddenly realized something and immediately lowered his head, but it was too late.
Someone in the live chat commented, "[That's it. I think 'Stubborn' looks wrong. You can watch the replay if you don't believe me.]"
The story of Xu Keke's stubbornness began when Zhou Heng interrupted a routine meeting at the administrative office, calling her out. This meeting was open to everyone on the space station. Everyone watching was curious about what Zhou Heng had said to Xu Keke. Even with their voices turned up, they couldn't hear anything. One of the attendees, whether out of curiosity or unintentionally, got up to go to the room and accidentally pushed the door open a crack. Then everyone heard Xu Keke's outburst at Zhou Heng: "Are you really that stubborn?!"
From then on, no one online called him Zhou Heng anymore; they all called him "Stubborn."
Xu Keke had no idea that because of a casual remark she made, a craze for time-traveling games swept the space station in the coming years. Driven by their love for bygone eras, they even brought their game-based lifestyles into reality. Retro style became increasingly popular. People began to yearn for a return to past lifestyles, and the entire space station almost seemed to regress.
At this moment, Xu Keke was still communicating with Wei Chi about her physical condition. Even though she didn't want to take on any position in the future, she didn't want to just lie in bed like this. "My leg injury is probably caused by the topical medication. Do you know what it is?"
"That's why I'm drawing your blood; I need to do some testing." Wei Chi asked casually, "How do you know it was caused by the topical medication?"
"Huang Pinjia emphasized that he didn't give me anything, so I guess it must be liquid."
Wei Chi sneered, "That is a bit stupid! So the old saying goes, the more you say, the more mistakes you make. Sometimes saying nothing, or pretending not to know, is the smart thing to do."
"What should I do? He may be stupid, but I really don't know what they're using. I need to go back and analyze it further. I won't find anything by investigating like this."
What outsiders couldn't see was that before saying those words, Xu Keke touched Wei Chi's arm. The things they saw and the words they spoke meant completely different things.
Zhou Heng had already inspected the entire house and reinstalled the security system. As he saw Wei Chi out, Wei Chi glanced at him sideways and asked, "Where's my payment?"
Although he knew it was impossible, Zhou Heng still subconsciously glanced at the door upstairs.
"Don't worry, she can't hear. She won't be able to get up anytime soon." Wei Chi said this in a somewhat nonchalant manner.
Hearing their conversation, the beautiful nurse's alluring eyes widened in terror. She gripped the handle of the medical kit tightly, the veins on her hands clearly visible.
Zhou Heng and Wei Chi both saw it, but no one paid any attention.
"I will never break my promise to you. But we'll have to wait until things are over. I don't trust your character."
Wei Chi snorted coldly, muttered a curse, and impatiently shouted, "Open the door!"
Zhou Heng opened the door with his fingerprint.
Wei Chi was somewhat irritated and strode out. His eyes were fixed ahead, unfocused. "If you want to live a few more days, keep your mouth shut. Don't cause trouble for yourself."
The nurse knew these words were directed at her, and she swallowed hard, trying to say "I understand" but unable to make a sound.
Wei Chi didn't expect her to answer and got into the car parked at the door first. He looked out the window the whole way. The nurse, unaware of his thoughts, kept her body hunched over, as if afraid he would discover she was still there.
But that was just a wishful thinking on her part. When Wei Chi came to his senses, he still saw her. Seeing how frightened she was, Wei Chi reached out and patted her face. "Why did you stop pretending? You were quite brave when you talked to Huang Pinjia last time. You were laughing quite happily. Why are you so scared now?"
The nurse's face had turned deathly pale. Wei Chi sighed and muttered to himself, "I just wanted to find a pretty girl to carry my bag, but they always manage to ruin my mood."
Back at his residence, Huang Pinjia already knew what Xu Keke had said. Not only had they been watching Xu Keke's live stream, but her team had been constantly trying to find her.
Seeing that he was on the verge of exploding, Zhang Man walked to his side, gently wrapped her arms around his waist, and said, "Brother Pinjia, have you forgotten? You were the one who told me that these people only have short memories if it doesn't concern their own interests. My cousin is used to being in a high position, and she only knows how to be straightforward. As long as the time is right, we will turn public opinion around."
Huang Pinjia was momentarily stunned by Zhang Man's words. He wasn't concerned about whether public opinion could be reversed. What he cared about was Xu Keke and the others' comments about him; the disdain in Xu Keke's words was all too obvious.
They're saying he's stupid.
