Chapter 206 One Year or One Month
Late at night, on the Nanhua Expressway, a black jeep turned onto the ramp and drove into the service area.
Shen Xingbo stretched his sore shoulders. There was still plenty of time, so there was no need to stay up all night.
As soon as the car stopped, Shen Xinglan, who was resting in the passenger seat, woke up suddenly, gasping for breath.
"Are you dreaming?" Shen Xingbo didn't take it seriously. He turned off the engine, pushed the door and got out of the car, stretching himself. "Let's leave early tomorrow, brother? I can't drive anymore. I'm so hungry that my eyes are blurry."
The task for the two this time was simple, just a bit time-consuming.
Shen Xingbo took out a cigarette and was about to light it when he realized that no one got out of the passenger seat. He walked over and knocked on the window, "Brother?"
After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement.
What's going on?
He subconsciously opened the car door. The person inside was no longer pinching his forehead. Instead, he leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.
"Brother, are you okay? Why don't you…"
Halfway through his words, his eyes saw a few tear marks at the corners of his eyes and he stopped abruptly.
Is this...crying?
What did you dream about?
Shen Xinglan wiped his face, looking extremely calm, "It's okay."
He took a long step and got out of the passenger seat. "Let's go get two rooms first."
He kept walking, leaving only his back to Shen Xingbo.
The hazy moonlight shone on him, and even his back seemed to have a hint of sadness for no reason.
"Wait for me!"
Shen Xingbo rubbed his eyes as he walked, he must have seen it wrong just now.
…
The two memories were pulled to the limit, and the pain made the mind clearer.
The second memory just appeared.
Shen Xinglan remembered that in that memory, he died just after waking up in the car, and those scenes kept flashing before his eyes.
He twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling as if something was blocking his chest, which was both uncomfortable and painful.
Did you restart again?
He suddenly wanted to hear Lin Chuchu's voice, so he stopped and reached for his cell phone eagerly, but found nothing.
My cell phone is not with me.
Shen Xingbo rushed over from behind and asked, "What are you looking for here?"
"Lend me your phone so I can make a call."
Shen Xinglan's eyes were bright as if he had found a savior, but when he really held the phone in his hand, he did not dial the number.
His mind is in a mess right now, with all kinds of contradictions colliding with each other. What should he say?
Maybe he will remember that these are just an exception, otherwise the world would have been in chaos if she had restarted so many times.
He hesitated.
Shen Xingbo had no idea what he was struggling with. He glanced at the person communicating - Lin Chuchu.
His brother wants to call Lin Chuchu so late?
Not quite appropriate, right?
After several consecutive missions, they haven't returned to the capital for almost a month. Shen Xingbo really doesn't know what could have happened between them that they have to talk about it now. Judging from his brother's expression, he seems quite anxious.
"How about...I can help you fight?"
Shen Xinglan was shocked, turned off the screen, then turned it on again, dialed his own number,
"Help me find where I dropped my phone."
"Did he fall into the car while sleeping?"
【Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off.
dialed is power off.】
“…”
Shen Xingbo gradually became suspicious and always felt that his brother was hiding something from him.
Cell phone! There might be information in the cell phone!
He turned around quickly and said, "Brother, go get a room first. I'll go back and help you find your phone!"
I saw it in broad daylight, it couldn’t have disappeared out of thin air, right?
Shen Xinglan took two deep breaths, tightened his grip on the phone several times, and then retracted his fingers.
Let’s wait until I come back from this mission!
During this time, he can also sort out some thoughts.
But he didn't expect that it was this decision that caused him to never hear the voice that haunted him again.
When the task is completed, the message is:
Lin Chuchu was injured during the mission and has not woken up yet.
——
Military Region General Hospital, Inpatient Department.
A little sunlight sprinkled on the bed, adding a touch of color to the person on the bed, but if you look closely, both the bloodless lips and the pale skin with blood vessels showing, give people the illusion that they will break if touched.
"System, how long have I been lying here?"
Lin Chuchu stretched out her tone with a look of despair.
As soon as she came out of the vortex of time and space, her eyes went dark.
It had been half a month since she regained consciousness after falling into a coma. She was only conscious, but her body, in the doctor's words, "still had functions in the brain stem and could produce some instinctive reflexes to external stimuli, but the body no longer had the advanced neural activity that is unique to humans..."
Lin Chuchu smacked her lips. "Doesn't this mean that I'm almost a vegetable? Doctor Zhang is really euphemistic."
System: "Then what do you want Dr. Zhang to say? Several men surrounded him, each with a frosty face, and they were scared to death."
Don't mention it, this scene is inexplicably funny.
System: "Besides, Professor He has already said that this is a genetic problem, so there is still a chance that you can wake up."
"I'm awake! Please help me calculate how long it will take before I can go home!"
The final time travel is particularly crucial. Although she is "disabled", the plot is already on the right track.
Without Chen Ruijie's funding, S&U would be vulnerable.
That’s not all. Before leaving, Lin Chuchu asked the system to insert a lot of predictions triggered by specific conditions into Chen Wanwan’s memory.
The first researcher of S&U, who later became the feared director, was arrested for human trafficking for the first time at our border. The police responded so quickly! The rest of the members were also arrested one after another.
It is estimated that this "director" would never have imagined that the whole thing was due to the foresight of Chen Wanwan, a key talent trained at Tianchi Base.
Lin Chuchu, the manipulator behind all this, is the one who truly hides his merits and fame.
Now she is just waiting for the time to come and everyone can go back home.
"One and a half years at most, one year at least."
"What did you say?"
Lin Chuchu was afraid that she had heard it wrongly, "You said I have to lie down for at least another year?"
It's totally off the mark!
"I don't want to live anymore..."
She now desperately hopes that some terrorists can come to the military hospital for a stroll and send her off for the last time...
"Click"
Someone pushed open the ward door.
Lin Chuchu closed her eyes and sighed. She could sense that Zhou Yao had arrived.
Chen Wanwan came back to life, and influenced by the butterfly effect, Zhou Yao never went to MG to be a male model.
Lin Chuchu had racked her brains to capture him at first, but after the butterfly effect, Zhou Yao explained to her what it meant to be in love at first sight.
Lin Chuchu's consciousness was beginning to become confused again, with various images flashing through her mind.
The system reminded her: "Host, why don't you choose to sleep? You are too fragile now..." and can't stand this tossing and turning.
Lin Chuchu said nothing.
She is not as free and easy as she appeared before. Everyone has feelings.
If she just died and went home, without a choice, it would be one thing, but actively choosing it is another.
"Wait a minute, I want to say goodbye to them..."
Her left hand was wrapped by a pair of warm long hands.
"Chu Chu, I'm here to see you."
Lin Chuchu responded in her heart: Yes, yes, have you ever missed a day...
Zhou Yao held her hand and rubbed it against his face, his expression very tender.
He once thought that Lin Chuchu was his salvation, the light in the darkness, and the angel who pulled him out of the muddy swamp, but now he was trapped in an endless abyss.
His brows tightened little by little, "If only I knew."
The warmth on his face was gradually replaced by pain.
“Why did you hide it from me…” If he knew that recalling Chen Wanwan’s past was the anchor that Lin Chuchu wanted, and that she was ready to get herself involved, he would never listen.
Unfortunately, he didn't understand at that time.
"Chu Chu, I'm in so much pain."
“My heart aches…”
"Have you never thought about how I feel?"
"It's my fault. Why didn't I think of it... I..."
Zhou Yao choked, and Lin Chuchu's fingertips touched something wet, which were tears.
She suddenly felt short of breath and stuffy.
"Why on earth would he remember? Wouldn't it be overwritten by new memories?"
These days, Zhou Yao's pain has been getting worse. She feels that if anything happens to her, Zhou Yao will definitely not live alone...
"Maybe the collapse of that small world affected him..."
Although the system hesitated, it could not find a better explanation than this. "But don't worry, Zhou Yao is definitely a special case."
Otherwise, schizophrenia patients would be everywhere on the streets. After all, its host has single-handedly increased the number of people whose destinies have been rewritten to a very terrifying number.
"Okay, I'll trust you for once."
Lin Chuchu didn't dare to empathize with Zhou Yao anymore. She was afraid that she would become confused due to heartbreak...
The most amazing thing about time travel is that she will never know when she returns or where she will be.
After Lin Chuchu woke up from the hospital, she reviewed her memories several times before she finally found the answer from her disordered memories.
She was scratched by a mutant during a mission and fainted from the pain, and she never woke up again.
Lu Feng was also on that mission, and even though he treated her wounds immediately, it was still of no use.
Because she didn't faint from the pain, but because she couldn't bear the backlash.
Lin Chuchu had already felt Lu Feng's tears personally a few days ago. When he leaned over to kiss her, if it weren't for the wet and cool liquid dripping onto her face, the touch was so real, she would not have known that Lu Feng was actually crying. Now it's Zhou Yao again.
Lin Chuchu thought a little divergently, "Why do they love to cry so much? Why didn't I notice it before?"
"..." The system simply ignored her.
There were always people in the ward all day long.
In the afternoon, Jiang Qingxue, Xiao Shuo and Jiang Shiyan came to visit the patient.
Jiang Shiyan didn't care about the other two at all. He kissed Lin Chuchu's cheek as if no one was around and asked her affectionately,
"Did Sister Chuchu miss me today?"
"Look, I brought you flowers."
"Sister Chuchu, smell it. Do you like the taste?"
Lin Chuchu: You'd better stop forcing yourself to smile...
She could feel that the little yandere's fingers were very cold and trembling slightly.
"Tokihiko..."
Jiang Qingxue wanted to say something but stopped herself. She was really scared of her brother's condition.
Afraid he would do something stupid.
"Shhh."
The young man beside the bed gently tidied up the hair on the temples of his beloved girl, "Look, sister."
He turned around and gave Jiang Qingxue a brilliant smile, "Sister Chuchu looks so cute when she's asleep."
Jiang Qingxue felt a lump in her throat and almost burst into tears.
——
It was another night with a full moon hanging high in the sky, a rare cloudless night, and the moonlight was clear and soft.
And Lin Chuchu was forced to think about life.
She had nothing to do but think.
She and the system have reached the point where they are disgusted with each other.
Suddenly, my ears caught a slight sound, so soft that I could only hear the door closing but not opening.
Lin Chuchu warmly welcomed: Captain, you are here!
She heard a slight sound of clothes rubbing against each other beside the bed. It must be Lu Feng sitting down.
Lin Chuchu was looking forward to it. As time passed, the ward remained as quiet as before.
Lin Chuchu: Captain, can you say something? It's not a good idea to keep it to yourself!
Lu Feng just stayed with her quietly, without saying a word, and even without moving.
Lin Chuchu: Lu Feng, Lu Feng, Lu Feng, Lu Feng, talk, talk, talk…
She began to launch a "mental attack", muttering constantly.
The system couldn't stand her noise any more, "Host, please stop making trouble..."
“I was clearly trying to communicate.”
“…”
That night, Lin Chuchu didn't hear a word from Lu Feng. Only at dawn did she vaguely hear him say hoarsely, "I'll accompany you tonight."
Lin Chuchu could not see Lu Feng’s red eyes and the dim light in his eyes, which was so dim that it seemed like it would be extinguished by a slight blow.
Lu Feng opened the door and saw someone waiting outside.
Ling Che didn't even have time to change out of his white coat. He was covered in the morning dampness and looked dusty.
The two men nodded to each other.
Ling Che: "Won't you sit for a while? It's still early."
Lu Feng shook his head, his eyes, which were originally as sharp as a knife, were now covered with dust. "The research center is not close to here. You have to go back. I will come later."
"good."
Ling Che waited until his back disappeared at the elevator entrance before pushing the door open and going in.
The moment he pushed the door open, the fatigue on his face disappeared, replaced by a smile as bright as spring breeze.
"Little lazy boy, it's time to get up. I bought your favorite tofu pudding and steamed dumplings."
Lin Chuchu didn't even bother to complain in her heart.
This person brings delicious food to tempt her every day. She can smell it but can't eat it, so she doesn't want to talk!
But she couldn't resist Ling Che's enthusiasm. While massaging her calves for rehabilitation, he told her some interesting stories about the research institute.
They are obviously some boring research, but after his explanation, they can be extended into a variety of unpopular knowledge.
Lin Chuchu listened attentively and was still thinking about it until Ling Che left.
Lin Chuchu: It has to be you, the professor!
She even had some anticipation for what tomorrow's breakfast would be.
"Host! Host! Did you hear me?"
Lin Chuchu came back to her senses in a second, "I heard it, what did you just say?"
"I say - congratulations! You have completed the hidden mission that the male supporting actors agree on! The rewards are random, and you can draw them. Would you like to draw them now?"
"smoke!"
Lin Chuchu is full of heroic spirit.
"Congratulations host, you can choose to wake up at any time."
“Is this true or false?”
Is there any other good thing like this?
"But the lifespan is reduced to one month."
Is there any need to choose between lying half dead for a year and being full of energy for a month?
Lin Chuchu rubbed her hands together, "Wait a minute, I have to choose an auspicious day first."
system:"……"
