Back at the villa, Gao Siming continued his monotonous life.
It's essentially a repetition of what Sui Wen went through: persisting in exercise and striving for recovery.
Overall, the damage caused by this stress reaction was far less severe than that caused by DSTH.
About a month after returning home, on Christmas Eve, Gao Siming was able to walk skillfully at home with the help of a single crutch. However, without the crutch, he could not take more than a few steps and walked unsteadily, just like a polio patient.
Even so, he still pestered Gao Zimin, and the two of them worked together. With Gao Siming's cheers and encouragement, Gao Zimin spent three whole days decorating the plum tree in the yard into a huge Christmas tree.
Then I bought some string lights, and in two days, I wrapped them tightly around the tree branches several times.
As night deepened and the lights came on, Gao Siming stood in front of the Christmas tree and remarked, "If only there were a little more snow, it would be just right!"
"Silly brother, Tanhua City is a coastal city, where would the snow come from?"
"Sister, shall we go buy some more snow spray?"
"Get lost! You little brat!"
That being said, Gao Zimin still placed an order online that night, ordering two whole boxes of the toys she was talking about.
Since he had gone to such great lengths to build a Christmas tree, Gao Siming naturally wouldn't just let his brother and sister admire it.
"Li the Fool, I won't interfere with your apple-exchanging on the 24th. Come to my house on the 25th for a turkey feast, we'll drink until we drop!"
"Brother, please spare me! I don't want Nongfu Spring anymore. Besides, the 25th is Monday, and I won't be able to go to work if I drink too much!"
"It's alright, a little wine is good for the soul. Besides, Qin Wen is here to handle things!"
"Brother, that's my wife!"
"Nothing tastes better than dumplings, nothing's more fun than... ptooey, ptooey, I've messed up the seniority system. Never mind, see you later!"
"Okay, no problem, I'll definitely come alone!"
"Whatever you want, since your sister Zi will be there too. You can explain to her with alcohol later."
"Oh, Sister Zi is here too. Then Qin Wen must be there. Don't worry!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Nan told Qin Wen about it.
Qin Wen was naturally happy, but Li Nan's happiness vanished instantly after just one sentence.
"We get turkey for Christmas, so Li Nan, what did you prepare for me? It's not another discounted apple from the supermarket, is it?"
"We're an old married couple, let's skip these formalities!"
"Men are all rotten pigs, they only care about fishing and don't care about feeding the fish. My Gao brother is the best!"
"Wife, I was wrong. Just ask for whatever you want!"
"More than three minutes tonight!"
...
At night, Gao Siming lay in bed, still calling out to Sui Wen repeatedly. More than a month had passed, but Sui Wen still hadn't responded.
"Dog Egg, how's the color changing lately?"
"It's still the same as before, except it's definitely a little darker!"
Dog Egg gave this simple answer, but the color changes he sensed were more than that.
The overall color scheme remains divided into three distinct categories, but significant changes have occurred in the details of color usage.
The pink area has increased by one-third, and the expanded portion incorporates Gou Dan's red and Gao Siming's white.
The scope of integration has expanded nearly tenfold compared to when the patient was discharged.
Is this change ultimately good or bad?
Dog Egg was also undecided. Under his control, the red area he controlled moved slightly closer to pink, but the merged area still didn't seem to show any change.
It's just that I don't know if it's just my imagination, but when Gou Dan moved towards the pink area, it felt like it moved a little bit towards the white side. However, the change was too small to be obvious, and Gou Dan couldn't be sure.
Controlling the movement of colored areas with one's mind is not a simple matter. Gou Dan only experimented a little before feeling dizzy and dared not continue trying.
"Forget it, let's just leave it to fate!"
...
Just as Gou Dan was trying, Gao Siming, who had been busy all day, was also a little tired. She gave up calling out to Sui Wen and fell into a deep sleep.
Since the mass poisoning incident on the pedestrian street, Gao Siming's habit of having nightmares has disappeared.
At least until now, I haven't dreamed about that tragic day again.
The unexpected passing of his parents seemed to have plunged into an unknown abyss along with Sui Wen's slumber.
While Gou Dan wasn't paying attention, a small gray fragment seemed to split off from Gao Siming's white area. As if guided, the fragment quickly moved to the pink area, merged into one in the blink of an eye, and disappeared.
Gao Siming didn't sleep well tonight, and had many dreams.
I dreamt of the Honghu Society, I dreamt of the plum grove, I dreamt of Peng Yuanyuan, I dreamt of him holding a blood-stained dagger, laughing wildly at the plum blossom tree.
As he laughed, he felt his eyes welling up with tears. He reached down and touched them, and they were red!
"It's blood!"
Startled, Gao Siming jumped suddenly, his body tilting to the side and falling to the ground.
"How could this be?"
Gao Siming woke up with a start and found that he was not lying in the big bed where he had been sleeping.
He now slumped down in the courtyard, under the plum tree.
The strings of lights on the tree swayed in the wind, as if telling him!
Gao Siming, this is not a dream!
Gao Siming stretched out his hands; thankfully, he wasn't holding a knife!
In the dim moonlight, I could see a faint trace of blood on my right hand.
Gao Siming couldn't believe it and touched his eyes with his clean left hand.
No, there's no blood. So where did the blood on your right hand come from?
Gao Siming leaned against the plum tree and stood up, unaware that he was using a crutch and that he wasn't even wearing shoes!
