Chapter 177 How to balance gain and loss?
"Since then, I have been troubled by dreams every night. Teacher, Shi Yan, Zhou Yao and Captain Lu. In my dreams, they... they do to me... no, to me in my dreams..."
Jiang Qingxue couldn't describe those scenes. She closed her eyes in pain, as if she wanted to block those horrific scenes out of her mind forever.
Lin Chuchu understood it almost immediately, that was something that had happened to her before!
I feel numb. I didn’t expect Jiang Qingxue would dream about these things because of her halo!
She held on to the last glimmer of hope and tried to comfort him, "Maybe it's just a dream..."
But Jiang Qingxue is so smart. From the fact that Lin Chuchu's personality was quite different from what was rumored when they first met, to the fact that all the people who loved her were imprisoned in her dreams and are now her lovers, it is impossible to say that there is no connection between them.
"Chu Chu, do you believe in parallel universes?"
Her voice was as light as a feather, but it sounded like thunder to Lin Chuchu's ears, deafening.
“Maybe in another time and space, a different story happened to us.”
"I don't quite understand what you mean." Lin Chuchu said stiffly, "And I really don't believe in parallel universes. It's too sci-fi."
"Really?" Jiang Qingxue smiled and did not continue the topic. Instead, she talked about something else.
"I can see that Shi Yan really likes you. If you can't treat him wholeheartedly, can you persuade him to leave?"
"He was supposed to study abroad as an exchange student next semester. He had worked hard to get this place, but now he wants to give it up."
She once distanced herself from her brother because of those dreams, but after all, they were family members who had depended on each other for many years, so how could she let go?
Lin Chuchu understood, "You want me to persuade him to study abroad?"
"Is it okay? Chuchu?"
Jiang Qingxue's fair forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her lips became paler and paler. She leaned back as if exhausted, sinking into the pillows that were stacked together. "Shi Yan has a paranoid personality. I'm afraid he will do something stupid."
"I'll try my best to persuade him." Lin Chuchu tucked in the thin blanket for her. "You look too tired. Don't worry about these things. Have a good rest."
Jiang Qingxue was indeed tired. She closed her eyes slightly, as if trying to fight against fatigue. "How can I balance gain and loss?"
The special power of the pendant allows her to thrive in interpersonal relationships and helps her career reach new heights.
In addition to the endless nightmares every night, the most difficult thing for her to accept was the dream about Ji Yan...
In reality, they are just like the golden boy and jade girl, a perfect couple made in heaven, and everything goes smoothly. But the scenes in the dream are like a warning bell ringing at the same time, constantly reminding her what it means to love madly and what it means to love passionately...
Seeing that the person on the bed had fallen asleep, Lin Chuchu quietly left the ward and sat in the corridor waiting for Jiang Shiyan to come back.
If this continues, the two worlds will merge directly...
——
23rd floor of Times Building, Tianxing Technology.
Zhang Chi and his subordinates were still in a meeting. Although the company was expanding again, there were still many old employees who had followed along.
He looked around and spoke first:
"Recently, the company has been in contact with newly developed foreign technologies, wireless VR projection, using advanced retinal screens to project the virtual world directly onto the retina of the human eye."
"Of course, this technology is not mature yet and the cost is relatively high. The target is still under negotiation. Can you discuss what kind of games are most suitable?"
There were many different opinions below and it was very lively.
Zhou Yao, who was sitting at the top, lowered his eyes, with an indifferent expression and did not participate.
At this time, a young man who had just arrived excitedly shared, "I was browsing the Internet last night and saw a thread where the host said that a team abroad had developed an analog sensor that directly connects to brain nerves! I don't know if it's true or not, but it sounded very plausible."
"That must be false."
"How is that possible!"
A deep and mellow voice rang out amidst the questioning voices, "Which website did you look up? Can you still find the post?"
Zhou Yao pushed the laptop out and passed it to the young men one by one. "I'm quite interested in this topic. Can you see if you can find the original post?"
The young man was flattered and operated the computer skillfully, "Then I'll try it."
Zhang Chi looked at his friend in surprise and asked uncertainly, "If you really have this skill, would you dare to do it?"
“It’s not a bad thing to know more.”
Zhou Yao calmly tapped the table and said, "You guys continue your discussion."
The atmosphere became lively again, and everyone's wild and imaginative ideas collided, merged, and innovated with each other, and enthusiasm was high.
It’s a pity that the post about connecting to the brain nerve simulator cannot be found, as if it had evaporated.
…
After a while, Zhou Yao returned to his office, leaned back in his chair, rubbed his forehead which was aching from the fever, and the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
It was Lin Chuchu calling. Zhou Yao's eyebrows were instantly filled with tenderness as he answered the phone. "Chuchu, you're back?"
"Well, are you busy?" Lin Chuchu's clear voice came from the receiver, "Are you sick? Why is your nasal tone so heavy?"
It made his ears tingle.
"Yeah, I have a slight fever."
"Then remember to take the medicine and don't hold on. Later... Do you have time? I want to..."
"I missed you, too." He stood up, closed his computer, and walked out the door. "Where are you? I'll go find you."
"Wait, I... am not alone now..."
Zhou Yao paused and his smile faded.
"It's okay, send me the address."
——
They made an appointment at a nearby restaurant, and when they sat down, Lin Chuchu had to sit next to them, after all, it was not nice to sit next to anyone.
She seemed to be the only one who was embarrassed, while the other two looked calm and even energetic.
Lin Chuchu felt as if sitting on pins and needles and had no taste for her meal.
He simply put down his chopsticks and used his ability to carefully look at the memory fragments above Zhou Yao's head.
"Chu Chu, what are you looking at?"
Because of the long time, there was no gain in the rush, Lin Chuchu retracted her gaze, raised her hand and squeezed her eyebrows twice, "Maybe I didn't sleep well these two days, and I was a little distracted."
When she spoke, she was always facing Zhou Yao's direction, which made Jiang Shiyan, who was standing beside her, feel jealous, like a wave of jealousy.
A shy smile bloomed on his lips, with a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes, and he stammered: "I'm sorry, Sister Chuchu, it's all my fault..."
Lin Chuchu tilted her head and glanced at him in confusion: "What are you apologizing for?"
Jiang Shiyan's eyelashes trembled slightly like a frightened butterfly, as if he wanted to hide something, and there was a trace of guilt in his tone that was difficult to conceal, "I was wrong."
This is outrageous. My good brother is acting like this again.
Lin Chuchu faced Zhou Yao's burning gaze, reached under the table, and pinched his leg hard, saying, "I told you to act!"
Unexpectedly, this man snorted softly, as if he was teased by her, and the corners of his eyes quickly turned a little red, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, so lovable.
???
Lin Chuchu pulled her hand back and pretended that she had done nothing.
She was quite sure that she had twisted it with quite a bit of force...
Watching their little movements, Zhou Yao chuckled and said seductively: "Chu Chu, come to my place tonight."
The tone was as soft as a feather, as if whispering softly in Lin Chuchu's ear, making it irresistible.
"I……"
Lin Chuchu turned her head suddenly, her sharp eyes fixed directly on Zhou Yao's charming face.
Another aggrieved voice came from the right, "Sister, I will wait for you at home obediently."
Lin Chuchu looked at this and that, and suddenly felt overwhelmed.
"Just find a place where we can meet up." The system popped up to watch the show, "Or call Ling Che? Ask him if he has time?"
"Are you okay!?"
In the end, Lin Chuchu successfully calmed Jiang Shiyan and got into the car with Zhou Yao. After all, there were more important things waiting for her to accomplish.
Of course, she promised her brother that she would come home as soon as possible.
