Chapter 171 Liu Siyu was wiped out
The next morning, Chen Zhaoyue arrived at the clinic on time for her shift. She put on her white coat and habitually looked towards the seat where Liu Siyu usually sat—it was empty.
"Is Liu Siyu late?" Shen Zhaoyue casually asked Lin Xiaomei who was sorting medical records next to her.
Lin Xiaomei raised her head, a look of confusion on her face: "Liu Siyu? Who are you talking about?"
Chen Zhaoyue's heart sank suddenly, but her face remained calm: "It's the person who entered the health center on the same day as us, with long hair, soft words, and a sweet appearance!"
Lin Xiaomei shook her head and continued to sort through the documents in her hands: "You must have remembered it wrongly. Didn't the health center only recruit the two of us? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Lin Xiaomei glanced at Shen Zhaoyue with concern, "You're about to get married, so you must be too nervous."
Chen Zhaoyue didn't answer. She quickly walked over to the duty room's personnel registration form, her finger sliding down the list—Liu Siyu's name wasn't there. She flipped through the attendance records again, carefully examining each page, but found no trace of Liu Siyu.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Xiaomei came over curiously.
"Nothing." Chen Zhaoyue closed the notebook, walked out of the duty room, and took a walk around the health center.
Liu Si's usual locker was gone, a potted plant now standing where it once stood. The chair she once sat on was now piled with a few old magazines and covered in a thin layer of dust.
Liu Siyu disappeared, as if she had never existed.
Chen Zhaoyue stood by the window, breathing in the cool early autumn morning air and slowly closing her eyes. She could probably guess what had happened—mission failed, system stripped, host wiped out. Along with it, all evidence of Liu Siyu's existence was completely erased from this world.
“Zhaoyue, are you okay?” Lin Xiaomei walked behind Shen Zhaoyue at some point, with a worried look on her face, “You look very bad.”
Chen Zhaoyue forced a smile: "Maybe I really didn't sleep well."
Chen Zhaoyue was a little absent-minded the whole morning.
She tried to catch any clues about Liu Siyu from chatting with her colleagues, but everyone reacted completely unfamiliarly to the name.
Liu Siyu was like a drop of water, evaporating without a trace, leaving no trace.
By noon, Chen Zhaoyue had already accepted the reality that Liu Siyu had failed in her mission and was wiped out.
A living person just disappears from this world, disappears from everyone's memory, and even the traces of his existence are completely wiped out. This should be a terrifying thing.
But Chen Zhaoyue felt that this was the fate Liu Siyu deserved, and people with evil intentions did not deserve sympathy.
People should not be too greedy and should not try to get things that do not belong to them.
In the evening, when Chen Zhaoyue was about to get off work, Lin Xiaomei came over timidly.
"Doctor Shen, can I spare you a few minutes?" Lin Xiaomei twisted her fingers, looking uneasy.
Chen Zhaoyue slung her backpack over her shoulder, holding her water bottle in her hand, "Of course, what's wrong?"
Lin Xiaomei took a deep breath and said, "I'm here to apologize. I don't know what happened a while ago, but I treated you so badly and said a lot of unpleasant things... I don't know what possessed me."
Chen Zhaoyue looked at Lin Xiaomei in front of her quietly. She knew that it was not "possessed" but that the influence of the system on the NPC was gradually weakening.
With the disappearance of the raiders, the distorted character behaviors began to return to normal.
"It's okay, I've forgotten it a long time ago." Shen Zhaoyue said softly, patting Lin Xiaomei's shoulder, "Don't take it to heart"
Lin Xiaomei smiled with relief, her eyes reddening a little. "Thank you. By the way, can I study Chinese medicine with you in the future?"
Chen Zhaoyue: “Of course.”
…
As night fell, Yue Xiulan excitedly knocked on Wen Yanxi's door holding a big package.
"Sister Chen! Zhaoyue! The wedding dress has arrived!" Yue Xiulan's face was flushed with joy, as if she was going to be a bride. "I went to town today and asked Boss Zhang about the progress of your wedding dress. I didn't expect Boss Zhang to have it ready, so I helped you get it back. I was very careful along the way, for fear that it would get wrinkled."
Chen Zhaoyue took the heavy package, and a strange wave of emotion arose in his heart.
She is going to marry Wen Yanxi the day after tomorrow!
"Try it on quickly to see if it fits!" Yue Xiulan urged, her eyes sparkling. "I've asked Wen Yanxi to wait outside. It's unlucky for the groom to see the bride in her wedding dress before the wedding."
Chen Zhaoyue couldn't help but laugh: "Sister-in-law still believes these things? Aren't you afraid of being heard and getting into trouble?"
"It's better to believe it than not to believe it!" Yue Xiulan said seriously, then winked cunningly, "Besides, who can hear what we two sisters say behind closed doors?"
Chen Zhaoyue carefully unwrapped the package. The wedding gown was a traditional dragon and phoenix gown, delicately embroidered with coiled dragons and flying phoenixes in gold thread, with delicate lace trimmings at the collar and cuffs. A red veil, embellished with tiny pearls, lay neatly folded to the side.
"It's so beautiful." Yue Xiulan exclaimed, her fingers gently stroking the delicate embroidery. "Wen Yanxi is so lucky."
Chen Zhaoyue didn't say anything, but a faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She changed into her wedding gown and stood before the mirror, barely recognizing the person inside. The dragon-and-phoenix gown was perfectly tailored, framing her figure perfectly, and the red fabric accentuated her fair complexion. The woman in the mirror's eyes held a touch of shyness and anticipation, a true bride-to-be immersed in bliss.
"So beautiful!" Yue Xiulan circled around her. "Wen Yanxi will be so amazed when he sees her that he will be speechless."
Just then, Wen Yanxi's voice came from outside: "Sister-in-law, how is Yueyue's fitting going? Can I come in?"
"No!" Yue Xiulan shouted immediately, and at the same time frantically helped Shen Zhaoyue to cover it, "We agreed not to see it before we get married!"
Wen Yanxi, who was outside the door, said in a muffled voice, as if he was a little unhappy: "Okay, I respect tradition. But at least you can tell me if it fits?"
Yue Xiulan looked at Chen Zhaoyue and winked mischievously: "It fits perfectly! You can wait to see the most beautiful bride the day after tomorrow!"
…
The next day, as soon as Shen Zhaoyue entered the clinic, Gao Wen sent her home. The reason was simple: she was told to prepare for her wedding the next day.
Chen Zhaoyue originally wanted to sneak to the backyard to check out the medicinal fields, but just as he turned around, he was stopped by Li Xiaojuan and Li Xiaoyan who were recording the growth of medicinal herbs in the fields.
Chen Zhaoyue had no choice but to go home.
But there was nothing she needed to prepare at home, so she entered the space to check the growth of medicinal herbs, fruits and vegetables, and took a good bath to prepare for her beautiful wedding tomorrow.
