"Cough...cough..."
Xiao He opened his eyes blankly and stared at the familiar room for a long time.
I realized that I was no longer in the car, but lying in bed, with the blankets covering me properly.
"Snow Peak...?"
The only response he received was the sound of the kitchen, as if someone was busy with something there.
Xiao He rubbed his temples, threw off the covers, and got out of bed.
Since it's an old-style apartment building that could be demolished at any time, the kitchen naturally wouldn't be very big.
"Xuefeng?" Xiao He arrived at the kitchen door and tapped on it through the glass: "What are you doing?"
"Make porridge," Wang Xuefeng said carefully, adjusting the heat without turning his head.
Xiao He turned around and glanced at the clock. It was one o'clock in the morning, with one hour left.
"Lie down a little longer," Wang Xuefeng said, waving his ladle. "I'll make it and take it to your room."
"Okay... thank you for your help..."
"No trouble at all, it's only two yuan and fifty cents a bowl."
"?"
...
...
As soon as he returned to his room, Xiao He could barely support himself and had to lean against the wall.
My gaze couldn't help but linger on the bloodless back of his hand.
Recalling what the doctor had just said, a bitter smile appeared on his lips.
"It might be too late..."
The originally optimistic estimate of three years has suddenly turned into a period of six months to a year.
It seems like we're just one step away from issuing a critical condition notice.
"If all else fails... then I'll just have to borrow that world... and eke out a living..."
Even if there are only a few months left in the present world, when converted to the other world at a ratio of 1 to 24, there are still several years to live a carefree life.
Even if the mission fails in the end, it won't be a loss.
Xiao He suddenly became more open-minded.
In his memory, the feeling of running wildly was still that of playing in the mud. But the first time he fell ill, it changed the course of his life.
Although the L30 world wasn't his native world, it at least allowed him to live like a normal person and do what he wanted, unlike now where he was restricted in every way.
"Heh..." Xiao He shook his head with a wry smile, took out his medical record from his pocket, and threw it into the least frequently used drawer.
In his opinion, there was no need to go to this hospital anymore.
At least I don't have to go while I'm still alive.
"Why are you standing? Didn't I tell you to lie down?" Wang Xuefeng brought in a bowl of porridge and found Xiao He leaning against the wall, silently gazing at the moonlight outside the window.
"Ah, the doctor said that standing up and moving around occasionally can promote blood circulation," Xiao He said with a smile.
“…Alright then.” Wang Xuefeng had no choice but to go along with him: “Eat the porridge first, then we’ll go back.”
"good."

Because the two deliberately delayed things, the 14th day in this world had already passed.
The inspection team will definitely leave at the designated time because they need to reach the next city within the designated time.
As for whether they've left people behind, openly or secretly, that's hard to say.
While stretching his limbs, Xiao He received a long string of messages from Yang Xing.
Today is the first day of the first week of the deep winter month.
The Ten Stars also have four seasons, each season has three months, each month has three weeks, and each week has ten days.
Taking winter as an example, the first month is the beginning of winter, the second month is the deep winter, the last month is the end of winter, and then comes the beginning of spring.
"It just so happens to be school dismissal time..." After driving back to Yunduan East Street, Xiao He had to slow down to the slowest speed.
As students left the college in an orderly fashion, the surrounding streets instantly became bustling with activity.
"Xiao He!"
Xiao He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jin Ling standing alone on the street, waving frantically at him.
"What? Want to get in?" Xiao He asked, pulling the car over to the side of the road.
"I'm not going up, you come down!"
Jinling seemed very happy, her face beaming with joy.
Xiao He was somewhat helpless, so he asked Wang Xuefeng, and the two of them got out of the carriage.
"Oh! So Xuefeng is here too! What a coincidence!" Jinling was stunned for a moment, but then became even happier.
"What?" Xiao He asked, speechless.
"Today is the dead of winter, so I'm having Jia Bo keep me company all day, hehe!"
Xiao He was even more confused: "Then why don't you just have him accompany you?"
"oops……"
Jinling swayed shyly, "But I miss you..."
"Cough cough?!" Xiao He and Wang Xuefeng coughed at the same time.
"Do you... have a cold?"
Jinling paused for a moment, then added, "Contagious?"
"Passed on...?" Xiao He was speechless for the first time, choked by her words: "Who taught you these things??"
Wang Xuefeng also shook his head: "I told you not to learn from him."
Jinling scratched her head, looking at the two of them with a puzzled and innocent expression.
"But...colds are contagious...even kids know that...I learned that when I was little..."
Xiao He remained silent for a long time.
"...That's all."
"Ah—Ling'er! I'm so sorry! I'm late!"
Jia Bo was dressed in a suit and tie, and he still smelled slightly of alcohol, clearly having just come from a banquet.
Jinling looked him up and down, then sniffed him, her expression immediately changing.
"I only had one drink! Really! And I didn't get within a meter of any woman!" Jia Bo said fluently, clearly having repeated himself countless times.
"This lavender scent has appeared for the second time! Who is it?!" Jinling squinted, showing no intention of letting him off the hook.
"This? Lavender? I... how would I know who smells like lavender..." Jia Bo still cried.
