Extra 1 Preserving Memories

In the courtyard, a man in his seventies walked out of the living room and walked towards the kitchen, saying to the woman inside:

"Is the soup ready?"

Although he was old, the man was in good shape, not hunched at all, and his image and temperament looked good.

The woman in her fifties in the kitchen saw the man coming and hurriedly responded respectfully:

"Dad, it's ready, and it's already in the thermos."

"The ribs are not fatty, right?" The man walked into the kitchen and asked while looking at the thermos on the table. After asking, he emphasized:

"Your mother doesn't like fatty food."

"Not fatty, not fatty, I specially picked the leanest ones this morning, blanched them in water, and there was not much oil left. I guarantee that they will not taste greasy at all." The woman hurriedly explained. |

"Okay." The man nodded and said to the woman:

"Thank you for your hard work." Then he walked out with the thermos. When

the woman saw him leaving, she quickly called him from behind:

"Dad, wait a moment, Lu En will be back soon, wait for him to come back and take you there in the car."

"It's okay, it's not far, I'll go there." The man didn't stop and continued to walk out.

"Dad, it's still raining outside, and your legs are not convenient..." The woman caught up and said worriedly.

The man had taken down the coat hanging on the coat rack and put it on himself. He had a good figure, tall and long legs, as if he was born to be a clothes rack. Once he put on the coat, even though he was old, he was still a handsome old man with a stylish look.

"It's okay, I'll go fly an umbrella." The man said as he reached for a large black umbrella hanging nearby, and then said,

"When Lu En comes back, you can have dinner, no need to wait for me."

The woman's name is Kang Yun, the wife of Air Force General Lu En. The two have been married for nearly 20 years and have one son and two daughters. However, it was her father-in-law Lu Jingshen who ignored the advice and rushed to the hospital to deliver dinner to his wife.

Two days ago, the mother-in-law, who had always been in good health, suddenly fainted and was sent to the hospital. The whole family was extremely anxious.

Especially the father-in-law, who was usually so calm and composed, was at a loss when he saw the mother-in-law faint yesterday. Fortunately,

after the doctor examined her, he said that it was just an occasional lack of blood supply to the heart, and after the mother-in-law woke up, she did not feel any discomfort, so everyone was relieved.

The mother-in-law was able to eat and sleep well, so she didn't need to be hospitalized, but the father-in-law insisted that she stay in the hospital for a few days for observation before coming back, and that he had to stay in the hospital to watch over her at night.

The children and grandchildren all persuaded him to go home and rest, and they would watch over her at night, but the old man was very stubborn, as if he couldn't sleep unless he stayed with his daughter-in-law.

The hospital was not far from home, and Kang Yun cooked these few days, and the father-in-law came back on time to deliver the meal to the mother-in-law.

Kang Yun saw that she couldn't persuade the father-in-law, and she knew that he was worried about the mother-in-law being alone in the hospital, and wanted her to eat earlier, so she insisted on delivering the meal even if it rained.

She took off the apron around her waist, raised her hand to take out her coat and said,

"Dad, wait for me, I'll go with you."

Her father-in-law's leg was seriously injured on the battlefield, and he usually walked very carefully. Now it was raining, she was really worried, so she quickly put on her clothes and chased after him.

In the hospital, Xia Qingying was sitting on the bed reading a book. At this time, the door was pushed open. A moment later, Lu Jingchen walked in and called her softly:

"Ah..."

Xia Qingying responded and put the book aside. She saw Lu Jingchen put the umbrella in the corner, then put the thermos bucket on the table, and took the bowl out to wash.

After he left, Kang Yun smiled and "complained" to Xia Qingxi:

"It's raining outside. I just told Dad not to come over. Lu En will be back soon. I drove him there, but he refused and insisted on coming over right away."

Xia Qingxi smiled tenderly and replied softly:

"He has always been so stubborn."

It seemed like she was blaming him, but it revealed full of love. The years have only left more wrinkles on her face, but she still looks as elegant as she was when she was young.

"Fortunately, you're going to be discharged from the hospital today. If you stay a few more days, I'm afraid your dad will lose weight from going back and forth." Xia Qingxi joked with Kang Yun.

At this time, the "stubborn" Lu Jingchen walked in. Just as he was about to pour the kelp and pork ribs soup into the bowl, he heard his wife calling him. He put down the bowl and walked over to ask her what was wrong.

The next moment, his wife had already grabbed his hand and covered it for him:

"It's cold outside, and you don't know to wear gloves."

"It's not that cold." Lu Jingchen replied, and then pulled his hand away, fearing that his wife would be hungry:

"You eat first." After saying that, he stood up, poured the pork ribs into the bowl, picked up the pork ribs with chopsticks, put them to his mouth and blew them, and waited until they were cool before feeding them to Xia Qingxi.

Kang Yun, who was standing aside, looked at the two of them and suddenly felt that she shouldn't be standing here. It was simply too much.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law have been like this for decades. This kind of relationship of supporting each other and accompanying each other until old age is really precious.

Xia Qingxing didn't eat much and didn't want to eat anymore. She said she was very sleepy and wanted to sleep for a while. Lu Jingchen didn't force her and let her sleep first and eat when she woke up and was hungry. Seeing

that her mother-in-law wanted to rest, Kang Yun decided to go home to eat first, and then go with Lu En to handle the discharge procedures for her later.

After Kang Yun left, Xia Qingxing lay down, stretched out her hand from the quilt, and held Lu Jingchen's hand.

She was so sleepy that she felt like she couldn't keep her eyelids open. Before closing her eyes, she said to Lu Jingchen:

"Lu Jingchen, it's great to meet you!"

Lu Jingchen didn't know why his wife suddenly said this. Although he was a little confused, he didn't ask much. He patted her hand gently and said,

"Go to sleep."

Xia Qingling closed her eyes peacefully and fell asleep, but the next second she saw the late Luo Ya and Su Xiangnan waving at her and asking her to come over.

They were still so young, holding hands and snuggling together.

Seeing this scene, Xia Qingling had the urge to cry. The third sister-in-law finally found the third brother, and the two were finally together.

As she walked over, the figures of the two gradually became illusory, until they completely disappeared.

At this moment, a somewhat mechanical voice sounded:

"Xia Qingxi, your life in this world has come to an end. Now your consciousness will return to your body in this world."

Xia Qingxi was surprised and asked quickly:

"Why am I here?"

"This is a human nature 'test' base. We will randomly select some people with character flaws and build a space according to their ideas.

The selected person can choose someone who is judged as a 'good person' by the system in the real world, come to this space, and take the test with her.

This time, the person we chose to take the test is Mo Chunxiao in the real world. She is called the 'main body', and she chose you, Luo Ya, Lu Jinze, and Su Xiangnan to enter this space with her to take this test. You are called 'subjects'."

After listening to the explanation of the machine voice, Xia Qingxi instantly grasped the key point and immediately asked:

"You mean, several of us are from the real world? Then why do only Mo Chunxiao and I have memories of the real world, but others don't?"

"The selected 'subject' will be implanted with memories, but for the fairness of the test, we will also randomly implant the memories of the present world in a certain 'subject'." The machine voice answered, and then continued:

"Before the test, we will sign an agreement with the 'subject':

if the 'subject' passes the test in this space, the base will determine that she has won and give her a reward.

If she fails the test, and any of you 'subjects' fails the test, the base will still determine that she has won.

Only when all of you 'subjects' pass the test, will the base determine that the 'subject' has failed and will retaliate against the 'subject' in the present world.

"Does Mo Chunxiao know that he is being tested?" Xia Qingying asked puzzledly.

"The 'subject' doesn't know. "The mechanical voice replied:

"After the test is started, we will erase this part of the subject's memory. Only when the 'subject' is about to die in this world, this memory will be restarted."

After listening to the mechanical voice's answer, Xia Qingling finally understood why Mo Xiaoxiao wanted to return to the world so much at first, but later was so afraid of death.

Even before Lu Jingchen went out to perform the mission, he specifically told himself that he would die if he went.

It turned out that because she committed suicide and was about to die, she remembered that she was taking the test, so she tried every means to prevent others from completing the test.

"Is everything that happened here real or illusory?" Xia Qingling asked hesitantly.

"If you think it is real, it is real. "The mechanical voice answered and said:

"The 'sub-bodies' are only participants in the test and will not receive any punishment or reward. Your bodies in the real world are now in a sleeping state. As for this memory, you can choose to delete or keep it."

At this time, a screen appeared in front of Xia Qingxi's eyes with two buttons on it. Xia Qingxi did not hesitate at all and chose

"keep."
