Three months, that's the maximum time the doctor said.
"Su Xiang. I taught you. Are you familiar with it now?" Xi Xinxin's expression was no longer playful as usual. She began to take out the laboratory equipment one by one.
Chu Quanyi also took out a large document and placed it next to her.
The system then spoke up: (To reduce the burden on the host, this system will scan measurements and statistically analyze the response.)
Zhang Suxiang suppressed her nervousness. She had already heard about Chen Tongyun's condition on the way. But this kind of vaccine was simply impossible for her to obtain.
Moreover, it only lasted three months.
There's nothing to worry about right now. All she has to do is trust her teacher: "Yes, Ms. Xi. I've mastered it."
(The system reports an allocation error.)
(The system informed us that no response could be generated.)
(The system informed us that no response could be generated.)
(System notification: Error occurred)
The system's sound effects weren't just audible to Xi Xinxin. Chu Quanyi could hear them too. She firmly put on her receiver and then fed back the unresponsive feedback to the real world.
Researchers in the real world are busy again.
"Quickly, quickly. Which of you will try to demonstrate this reaction?"
"What about the results? What can we do about the results?"
“Xi Xinxin’s research projects are scheduled at different times than ours. Hurry. We can start our experiments first.”
Actually, Xi Xinxin and Chu Quanyi already understood the most troublesome point. The convenience gained from the time difference could also cause problems due to the time difference itself.
As explained before, because it's a fictional world, the conclusions of the experiment will most likely only be consistent with the novel's framework.
Therefore, this still relies on the real world without program input.
In the real world, files need to be transferred. Previously, the timeframe was measured in years. Recently, the timeframes for both are becoming increasingly similar.
Xi Xinxin hopes to get an answer within these three months.
Therefore, they can only keep conducting experiments to give the real world enough breathing room.
The three of them have been taking turns resting these days. It's inevitable that their eyes will become sore and tired.
The system would broadcast a message periodically, but each time it failed.
"Of course." Xi Xinxin looked up. She put in a few drops of eye drops: "Su Xiang, you used to go to medical school. I have something I'd like to ask you."
If the experiment is successful and the vaccine can be used, then it will be even more necessary for senior figures in the medical field to step in. She wanted Zhang Suxiang to ask her teacher for help, so that at least they could have a more reasonable explanation for subsequent developments.
These words reassured Zhang Suxiang, as if Xi Xinxin was certain to succeed.
“But only the three of us can participate in the research,” Xi Xinxin said. “We can’t let anyone else participate.”
Zhang Suxiang was able to participate because she had already learned a lot from Xi Xinxin.
The others who get involved now will only make things worse.
After Zhang Suxiang left, Xi Xinxin looked at Chu Quanyi, who was fast asleep on the table.
She unlocked her phone. She saw that the woman had set an alarm for six o'clock, waiting to switch shifts with her.
Xi Xinxin turned off her alarm clock and covered her with a coat.
He rubbed his temples and murmured, "You've worked hard."
She's in better physical condition than the other two. She should be doing more of the work.
He exhaled a breath of stale air: "System. Begin broadcasting."
Zhang Suxiang compiled a document containing some experimental information that was substantial but would not reveal too much knowledge.
She searched for the phone number on her phone. She found her tutor's number, which was buried at the bottom.
"Zhang Suxiang. Relationships between classmates are also very important."
It was still early, so Zhang Suxiang gave up on making the call. She decided to go back to school.
Mei Qing hadn't seen Chu Quanyi and Xi Xinxin for a week. But she didn't ask what had happened. She could only continue learning with the other two students in the studio.
"Why hasn't Teacher Chu Quanyi been around these past few days?" The speaker was one of Chu Quanyi's students. He was quite old, looking to be over thirty, and hearing "Teacher Chu" from him gave off a somewhat subtle feeling.
Mei Qing answered for Chu Quanyi: "She has something to do. So we can study for the next few days."
The man pondered for a moment, then looked Mei Qing up and down: "Actually, you're quite pretty. Has no one ever said that before?"
Mei Qing's heart skipped a beat. But seeing only admiration in the eyes of the person in front of her: "Being pretty has nothing to do with studying."
Realizing his words were rash, the man quickly apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it. I just thought you could be more confident, like you are in front of Teacher Xi. I always feel that you're a little different in front of Teacher Xi... Hahahaha, sorry. It's boring, isn't it? Let's continue learning."
Mei Qing's face turned bright red. She really wanted to ask if it was really that obvious, but she didn't bring herself to ask.
Uncomfortably, she started tidying up the files, and something fell out with a thud. Mei Qing looked at it and realized it was Chu Quanyi's glasses frame.
Mei Qing initially intended to put it back in its original place. However, she noticed something shiny inside the glasses frame and, thinking it was a stain, decided to rinse it with water.
When she got to the sink, Mei Qing noticed something moving inside her glasses.
She picked it up suspiciously and examined it closely.
It's displaying lots of text! What is this?
You can't see it at all when you turn around. You can only see it from inside the glasses. Mei Qing thought of the hearing aid Chu Quanyi mentioned using to look cool.
Would a normal person use a hearing aid to look cool?
Besides, she knew that Chu Quanyi wasn't that kind of person.
(System notification: Allocation error)
(System warning: Be careful not to spill it on your hands)
Xi Xinxin finally came to her senses: "Thank you, system. I almost fell asleep."
(Host. Take a break. The human body can't handle staying up all night.)
"Just listen to the system." Chu Quanyi's voice rang out from behind.
Xi Xinxin glanced at the time; it was just six o'clock. Confusion appeared in her eyes. Hadn't she turned off Chu Quanyi's alarm clock?
Chu Quanyi returned the clothes to Xi Xinxin: "I've learned to wake up whenever I want without an alarm clock. You should go to sleep now."
Xi Xinxin wanted to say something more, but suddenly Chu Quanyi's face loomed large in front of her, and her lips felt something soft.
She tried to back away, but Chu Quanyi pressed her down, deepening the kiss.
I instinctively closed my eyes. As soon as I closed them, sleepiness rushed straight to my head.
I fell asleep immediately.
Chu Quanyi ruffled Xi Xinxin's hair hard, pulled her into his arms, and patted her: "You heartless thing. Who falls asleep instantly after a kiss?"
The system ((???皿??)??3??This system is the main program that provides the sound!)
Let Xi Xinxin block the table. Chu Quanyi turned his arm: "Don't make a sound. Come and report to me."
Chu Quanyi spent a while preparing to go out and make some instant noodles. Just then, he heard Xi Xinxin's phone vibrate in her pocket.
It took me a while to finally get my phone out. It was Xi Dai calling.
"Xinxin, have you been very busy these past few days?"
"I am Chu Quanyi."
"...Are you all very busy?" Xi Dai sensed that Chu Quanyi's voice was also somewhat weak.
"I'm fine. What's wrong? Is there something you need from Xi Xinxin?"
"Mom and Dad want to have a party. They want to ask when Xinxin is free."
"Hmm? Then it'll probably be three months from now."
Xi Dai didn't know what they were busy with. She just felt an unprecedented distance between them.
Try a little harder. Try a little harder, and sit in the same position as your father. Then you can fight alongside Xi Xinxin.
Chu Quanyi then discovered many text messages on her phone. Some of them were from the patient, Chen Tongyun.
She described her illness in a joking tone: "Oh dear. Xinxin carried me to the hospital, right? You really do care about me!"
"That's how illnesses are, it's not very serious~ You'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Chu Quanyi turned on the voice recorder.
“Xi Xinxin hasn’t given up. I don’t want the person she cares about to give up either.”
One month...
While Zhang Suxiang was feeling anxious, she finally received a call from her supervisor: "I've talked myself hoarse. After you finish your research, it must go through this professor first. Here's his phone number."
Zhang Suxiang was expressing her gratitude frantically.
Hearing her mentor's laughter, Zhang Suxiang calmed down: "Actually, when I was mentoring you, I didn't think you were very gloomy. I felt that this child definitely had potential. But you've always been unwilling to open up. Has something good happened to you recently?"
Even though her mentor couldn't see her, Zhang Suxiang nodded on the other end of the phone: "Yes, teacher. I've met my mentor in life."
When Chu Quanyi was wearing glasses, Mei Qing kept glancing at her and asked, "Yiyi... how are your experiments going lately?"
Chu Quanyi shook his head, oblivious to Mei Qing's unusual expression. "This is a task I recently assigned. Alright. I'm going to the underground lab. Contact me by phone if needed."
Two months...
Time suddenly flew by. But they made absolutely no progress.
No documents were actually sent. Xi Xinxin was a little scared. She was afraid that Chen Tongyun wouldn't be able to deliver the results from the real world.
"Then we'll produce the results ourselves!" Xi Xinxin suddenly stood up: "Quan Yi, can you modify the data?"
Xi Xinxin memorized all the reactions and effects. Since she couldn't do it herself, she would make the entire space's data update accordingly!
That was a very impactful statement. But the facts won't change because of it.
Zhang Suxiang didn't understand what they were saying, but she could sense their regret and anxiety.
Chu Quanyi clenched his fists. These people in this world were awakening to consciousness. However, generating a response from life was incredibly difficult.
Unless triggered, the data will only follow the novel's content.
Two and a half months...
The file still hadn't arrived. The time difference was too great. Xi Xinxin had repeated the same steps countless times. Only one thing remained in her mind.
(System notification: No response)
Xi Xinxin went upstairs and ordered a coffee.
The wind chimes rang. The person who heard them seemed somewhat dazed.
Xu Chacha and Bai Tianrao entered.
Xu Chacha's new drama has finished filming, and she hasn't seen Xi Xinxin for a long time. Several times when she passed by, Guan Jing was always the one helping her solve problems in the store.
She seems to have completely overcome her social anxiety.
"Xinxin, my TV series is about to air. It's tomorrow. Will you watch it on time? I believe my acting will definitely satisfy you this time!" Xu Chacha shook Xi Xinxin's arm and acted coquettishly towards her.
"Sorry. I've been a bit busy lately. I might not have time to watch it." Xi Xinxin was drowsy.
Xu Chacha felt disappointed but not unhappy. She didn't know what Xi Xinxin was busy with. She felt a sense of powerlessness, as if she couldn't help.
Chu Quanyi also came up to buy a cup of coffee at this time.
There weren't many people on the first floor right now. Bai Tianrao, as if she had made up her mind, said, "I recently wrote a song. Would you like to listen to it?"
"Of course I'll listen~" Xi Xinxin said, supporting her head with one hand.
Singing can be uplifting. Right now, she and Chu Quanyi need that kind of energy.
Bai Tian smiled and began to gently tap her hands together.
"Unless you actually existed."
"Only then will I believe everything I've done."
...
The singing was soft and gentle, interspersed with chanting. It evoked memories of beautiful encounters.
Xu Chacha saw Xi Xinxin with her eyes closed, enjoying the melody. She was holding a nearly finished cup of coffee in her hand.
She had a premonition. If something failed again, she wouldn't see her for a long time. She didn't want that.
Xu Chacha, unable to control herself, stepped forward and hugged Xi Xinxin.
"I love you, Xinxin."
As the song came to a close, the meaning of that sentence became unclear.
Xi Xinxin hugged Xu Chacha back: "What's wrong?"
Xu Chacha buried her face in her arms and didn't say a word.
The receiver in her ear was ringing incessantly. Chu Quanyi awkwardly closed the eye on the receiver side.
The glasses frame also started typing text like crazy.
I just wanted to celebrate something intensely.
You succeeded!
The ringing of the midnight bell signifies the start of a new day. The vaccine was injected into Chen Tongyun's arm.
She slowly fell asleep.
Doctors and nurses wheeled her into the operating room. A new surgery began.
It's eight o'clock in the morning.
Xi Xinxin turned on her phone. Chu Quanyi leaned closer, puzzled. "What are you doing? Aren't you going to get some sleep? What are you playing with?"
"Xu Chacha's TV series. It premieres at 8 PM today~" Xi Xinxin blinked.
Neither Xi Xinxin nor Chu Quanyi came forward to discuss the subsequent events.
For example, Zhang Suxiang officially became a medical expert.
Many things are not over yet.
Xi Xinxin slept soundly. When she woke up, she smelled the aroma of food.
Standing in front of the stove is Xu Chacha.
It felt like we were back in their high school days, taking extra classes. Xi Dai, Yu Shuwen, and Ji Nianya sat around the table.
Oh. Now there's also Chu Quanyi, who's eyeing the food in front of her with longing.
She held up her phone: "Beautiful sleeping face photo of Xi Xinxin! Anyone want it? Highest bidder wins!"
"Huh? I didn't even take a picture! Chu Quanyi, don't push your luck!" Xu Chacha shouted, holding a spoon and standing with her hands on her hips.
Xi Dai was the first to raise her hand and offer: "One thousand."
Ultimately, this farce was interrupted by Xi Xinxin's offer of zero yuan.
Why zero yuan? Because Chu Quanyi gave it to her willingly.
Xi Xinxin wanted to see how the store was doing lately, so she went down to the second floor.
It was even more lively than she had imagined.
Xi Xinxin reached out her hand: "Give me the camera."
Taking the camera, she shouted, "Everyone, get into position! Time for a photo!"
Xi Xinxin began adjusting the time.
When she walked into the crowd, Xu Chacha and Zhou Zhou were vying to see who should stand next to Xi Xinxin.
Chu Quanyi, seizing the last second before the camera was turned on, leaned close to Xi Xinxin's ear and said, "Now that there is life, you can come home with us."
