Chapter 098 Chapter 98 Recovering Memory
"This is the gift I give you." 001's voice sounded in his ears.
An Qing's eyelashes trembled, and then Hua Huan opened her eyes.
Her parents' faces appeared in front of her. They looked excited and wanted to get close to her, but they were inexplicably timid, as if they didn't dare to come forward or get close.
An Qing didn't have time to think about why her parents looked like that. The moment she saw the two of them, tears suddenly fell from her eyes.
"Dad! Mom!" The grievance, panic, uneasiness and fear in her heart all surged up at this moment. She rushed over and hugged them tightly.
"Be gentle, be gentle. Your parents are in the state of soul projection now. Although I can give them simulated entities that can be touched, they are actually very fragile. Don't break them." 001 was frightened when he saw An Qing's posture of rushing over and reminded loudly.
Obviously, An Qing, An Weiguo and Li Xiufang were unable to listen.
Li Xiufang hugged her daughter tightly, as if she were holding a lost treasure. "Qingqing, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I'm sorry... I shouldn't have pushed you. It's my fault. I didn't respect your opinion..."
An Weiguo held the mother and daughter in his arms, his eyes red as he looked at his daughter who was standing next to him. He stroked her head gently with his big hands, his fingers trembling violently.
"Although your mother did something wrong, she was also thinking about you wholeheartedly. Qingqing, don't blame your mother. If you want to blame someone, blame your father. It's your father's fault. He should have persuaded and enlightened your mother. In the end, not only did your father not persuade your mother, he also joined her..."
When An Weiguo thought of the scene of his daughter swallowing pills in desperation, he closed his eyes, tears rolled down his cheeks, and his voice became hoarse.
An Qing was feeling quite aggrieved at first, but then the two of them started yelling at her. She was stunned for a moment, and slowly stood up from her parents' arms. She looked at the two people with painful expressions in a daze, "Dad, Mom, what are you talking about? I don't understand anything."
Li Xiufang reached out and touched An Qing's face, tracing her eyebrows and cheeks bit by bit with her fingers.
Although this body was not An Qing's original owner, it was still somewhat similar to her original self. Facing her daughter's confused eyes, Li Xiufang closed her eyes in pain.
An Weiguo patted Li Xiufang's shoulder and looked at An Qing: "Qingqing, you don't understand because you have forgotten. But it doesn't matter. Those memories were not good memories. If you forget them, forget them. As long as you are healthy and happy, that's fine."
"However, Mom and Dad still have to apologize to you. It was our fault. We did something that hurt you in the name of doing good for you. Whether you remember that memory or not, you must remember that it was Mom and Dad who were wrong. Mom and Dad love you very much. As long as you are happy and as long as you live a good life, we will be satisfied..."
Li Xiufang choked up and nodded, "Yes, Qingqing, Mom and Dad love you very much. Before, Mom was obsessed and forced you. Now, Mom and Dad have no other wishes. We just hope that you live well and be happy for the rest of your life."
The couple looked at their daughter greedily, as if they wanted to imprint her current appearance deeply in the depths of their souls.
An Qing stood motionless, blinking slowly.
It seems like something in my brain is trying to break out.
In an instant, the broken black and white picture was gradually pieced together and slowly restored to color.
She remembered...
For her, those days were dark and she could not see the future. She was so depressed that she attempted suicide several times, but she finally changed her mind and did not dare to let her parents find out.
An Qing's eyes gradually filled with tears.
She has always known that her parents love her.
From childhood to adulthood, she has received the wholehearted love of her parents. She has all the toys that other children have. She only needs to ask her parents for what she wants, and as long as it is within their ability, they will satisfy her.
When she was a child, she envied her classmates who traveled around with their parents during holidays.
So, her father hired someone to look after the shop and took her on picnics, trips, and crowds of people. When there were a lot of people, she would be placed on her father's shoulders, looking down at the crowded crowds...
My mother is a good cook. She likes to make lots of delicious food for her, buy her beautiful clothes, and call her their little princess...
An Qing once raised a cat in the game. She dressed the cat up beautifully and named it Princess.
In fact, it was also because she used to be the little princess of the family, but she didn’t understand why she changed after growing up?
Now, An Qing remembered everything. She didn't come to this world inexplicably. She came here after taking sleeping pills and committing suicide.
An Qing has never been very upset with her parents. She knows very well that they are wholeheartedly thinking about her, but what they try so hard to force on her is not what she wants. What's more, they keep belittling her in order to force her to go on blind dates and get married.
Because she knew that they were doing this for her own good and that they loved her very much, that was why they made her suffer even more, like a butterfly trapped in a thick cocoon, unable to escape the cage no matter how hard it struggled.
An Qing took a deep breath. The sudden recovery of her memory had a great impact on her.
She didn't hate them, nor did she ever harbor any desire for revenge. In fact, many of her actions at the time were somewhat out of control, as if someone were telling her, "I'm so tired, I wish I could die, and I won't be in so much pain if I die..."
An Qing's eyes were sore as she looked at her parents who were apologizing to her.
She hugged Li Xiufang's waist, buried her face in her mother's arms, and suddenly burst into tears.
This time was different from the grievance and fear she had just felt when she saw her parents. This was a desperate outburst, as if she wanted to vent all the depression and pain she had experienced during that period through crying.
Li Xiufang hugged An Qing and gently stroked her back with her hands.
Fortunately, this is An Qing's office, and the sound insulation is very good, otherwise her crying would probably be heard far away.
Seeing his daughter crying like this, An Weiguo felt a pain in his heart.
But he also realized that An Qing's sudden crying must have meant that she had recovered her memory.
The fact that he remembered it so easily made An Weiguo terrified. He couldn't imagine what would happen to An Qing if he and his wife hadn't come. Would she choose to end her life like before?
Even now, An Weiguo is nervous and uneasy. After all, An Qing committed suicide because of depression. Depression is a mental illness. Who knows if her depression will be restored after her memory is restored?
Time passed little by little, An Qing was exhausted, and fell asleep in Li Xiufang's arms.
Li Xiufang looked around and carefully carried her to the edge of the sofa.
An Weiguo came over to help, and the two of them let An Qing lie on the sofa.
Li Xiufang gently wiped the tears from An Qing's face. Feeling regretful and worried, she couldn't help but look at An Weiguo: "Qingqing, did you remember something just now?"
An Weiguo squatted beside the sofa, looked at An Qing, and nodded: "Probably."
Li Xiufang was a little anxious: "What should I do? Qingqing, will she still be able to..."
Having said this, Li Xiufang covered her mouth and didn't want to say those words at all.
An Weiguo: "Before, we pushed her too hard. She was too depressed. She just had a good cry and vented her emotions. She should be fine."
He said this just to comfort Li Xiufang, but he was actually still very worried.
001 squatted on the coffee table and slowly revealed its body. Although it already had a physical body, it was still a system after all and could choose whether or not to reveal itself in front of people.
Unfortunately, Li Xiufang and An Weiguo were so focused on An Qing that they didn't notice there was a cat on the coffee table.
001 was a little speechless, but still kindly comforted the two people's uneasy hearts, "Don't worry, An Qing has been in this world for so long, her depression has long been cured."
The sudden sound in the room startled the two of them.
Only then did An Weiguo and Li Xiufang notice that there was a cat on the coffee table next to them. Looking around, they found that there was no one else in the office except the cat.
"Don't look, it's me talking." 001 said, "I'm An Qing's golden finger, bound to her system. You can call me 001."
Both Li Xiufang and An Weiguo were a little confused.
Fortunately, they had lived in the era of information explosion. Even if they had not read these novels or watched TV shows, they had seen them on short videos, so they still knew the words "golden finger" and "system".
Li Xiufang suddenly became nervous, "Hello."
001 nodded. "I am the supermarket system. The food that comes out of me has special abilities. It can bring happiness and heal the soul, relieve stress and improve people's mental state."
Although these were not very clear before, they were all inferred based on the state of the people in the base after eating the food.
However, it had just carefully observed An Qing's condition, and her emotions did not become extreme after she recovered her memory.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiufang and An Weiguo both breathed a sigh of relief and thanked 001.
001, "No need to thank me. My ability can't allow you to project virtual reality in this world for too long, so you can only stay here for ten days at most and then go back. During this time, just spend some time with An Qing. She's under a lot of pressure in this world too."
Li Xiufang was stunned. She didn't know what this world was like, nor did she know An Qing's life here.
"Is Qingqing not living well here?"
001: "It's not that bad, it's mainly because the pressure in this world is already great..."
An Weiguo couldn't help but ask carefully.
001 had always been by An Qing's side, so naturally he knew everything about An Qing. After thinking for a while, he felt that there was nothing he couldn't tell her, so he told her in detail about An Qing's experience of traveling to this world.
As Li Xiufang listened, she clutched her chest, having difficulty breathing. She asked tremblingly, "Is this world so dangerous?"
001: "This world is ending. It must be dangerous. Isn't your world ending too?"
Li Xiufang opened her mouth, but An Yiqing existed in that world. When she woke up in her spirit form, the end of that world had already been ended by An Yiqing...
But in the end, Li Xiufang didn't say it out loud. After all, if An Qing stayed in the original world, she might not be able to survive.
Although she and An Weiguo woke up in the state of souls, An Yiqing allowed them to walk temporarily in physical form, so they lived in An Yiqing's territory for a while and heard a lot about the dangers after the end of the world.
Before the end of the apocalypse, eight out of ten people will turn into zombies and die, and only a minority of the minority will survive.
Although it was dangerous for An Qing to travel to this world, there was already a mature base here, and the supermarket system was always protected.
An Weiguo asked doubtfully, "Qingqing doesn't even have to leave the base right now, so why do you still say she's under a lot of pressure?"
001: "Because An Qing is now the base commander."
Li Xiufang: “…”
An Weiguo: "..."
This was a development that neither of them had expected.
Although they all love their daughter very much, it is a fact that An Qing has always had poor academic performance since she was a child, and it is also a fact that she is not very smart and has no ambition.
To be honest, they really couldn't imagine what it would be like for An Qing to become the base commander of a base.
An Qing didn't sleep for long. She woke up in less than an hour.
When I opened my eyes, I still felt a bit lost as to what day it was.
It took her a while to sit up by supporting herself on the sofa.
A familiar yet somewhat vague voice sounded.
"Ahh, delicious!" This is 001's voice.
"Yes, Qingqing used to like the steak I made for her the most." Came my mother's voice.
"Mmm, it's delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious. Your cooking skills are really great!" 001 flattered him in a very fawning manner.
Li Xiufang was very happy: "Of course, I'm a very good cook. When Qingqing was little, she rarely ate at street stalls. The food at those stalls wasn't as delicious as mine. She would tell me what she wanted to eat in the morning, and she could have it when she got home in the evening!"
An Weiguo: "Whatever Qingqing wanted to eat, you secretly looked up information online and learned it yourself. When Qingqing was not at home, you kept making it. How could you not make it well? How many of the dishes I ate that you failed to make?"
Especially during the time when Li Xiufang was frying steak, she couldn't do it well at the beginning, and the steaks she fried were always tough and old. As a result, he ate steak every day during that period, and his cheeks hurt from chewing them.
And An Qing wanted to eat cake. When she practiced secretly, it was often burnt. The cake was not fluffy, like a pancake, or a burnt pancake...
Li Xiufang was a little embarrassed. "It didn't take too long. It only took me a few days to learn it."
An Qing sat on the sofa, looking towards the lounge that used to be this office.
She was not used to sleeping on her bed in the office, so the lounge had been converted into a small kitchen where she could make some simple meals for herself.
The door of the lounge was not closed, and a strong aroma of food wafted out. Li Xiufang was still busy cooking, and An Weiguo was helping her.
001 was squatting on the stove with a small plate in front of it containing some prepared food. 001 was eating from the plate like a real cat, enjoying it very much and even making purring sounds.
An Qing: "..."
Mom, isn’t she allergic to cat hair?
Oh, I forgot, 001 is not a real cat in the strict sense. Although it has a physical body, the hair on its body still does not fall off.
An Qing stared at her parents busy in the kitchen, feeling as if she had instantly returned to the happy time before she became an adult.
