"Why did I fall asleep?" Cheng Xi's life or death was uncertain, and the relationship between him and Yang Sheng had not been fully clarified. Everything was a mess. But lying next to Cheng Xi and listening to 666's calm and soothing words, Cheng Ye, who should have been uneasy, felt very at ease. He felt like he was immersed in a sulfur hot spring, and every pore was breathing.
His limbs flowed freely and his consciousness wandered without boundaries. In such a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, Cheng Ye was completely relaxed.
"Where...is this?" Cheng Ye rubbed his sleepy eyes and struggled to sit up.
The dazzling white ceiling, the crystal chandelier reflecting the scattered sunlight, and even the brown leather sofa not far away, everything is so familiar and yet so strange.
Cheng Ye sniffed, and the strong smell of disinfectant almost choked him to tears. After a second of pause, Cheng Ye's tears slid down his cheeks without warning.
"666?" Cheng Ye subconsciously grabbed the quilt, "6?"
I didn't get a familiar response.
The empty ward was silent, and Cheng Ye's heart felt as if a large piece had been suddenly dug out, leaving it painful and empty.
"Are they all gone?" Cheng Ye didn't even dare to speak loudly. He didn't know why he suddenly appeared in a modern world, nor did he know if this modern world was his original world. But he knew that Cheng Xi was not around, and even 666 was gone.
It seemed as if he was suddenly the only one left in this huge world.
Cheng Ye tried to sit up in panic, but because he moved too hastily, his head felt heavier than a weight and he fell uncontrollably under the bed.
"Are you okay?" A panicked voice suddenly appeared in the quiet ward, and then Cheng Ye, who was almost falling to the ground, suddenly shifted his focus upwards and was picked up by someone.
As he felt dizzy and dazed, he could only see a black afterimage and feel the pounding of his heartbeat in his ears.
He closed his eyes and shook his head. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself being held in the arms of a strange man in black clothes across the quilt. He leaned back cautiously, trying to increase the distance between them. "Who are you?"
At the same time, the man anxiously asked, "Where did you fall? Your wrist, your arm, or your ankle? Let me see?"
The man rushed in, and the ward door creaked before it could be closed, leaving a gap through which the muffled footsteps outside could be faintly heard.
"Don't touch me!" Cheng Ye hurriedly pushed away his hand that was trying to pull at her clothes, "I'm fine."
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment, and the air flow seemed to slow down.
The man seemed to realize that he had overstepped his bounds and awkwardly withdrew his hand: "I'm glad you're okay. You, don't move."
"Hiss——" After being reminded, Cheng Ye felt as if his chest was being pricked by needles with every breath, and fine and dense pain was everywhere.
He frowned slightly and swallowed. His throat, which had not been moistened for a long time, felt like it was cut by a knife, and the pain made him grimace.
The man had a puzzled expression, his jaw moved, but he said nothing. He just carefully laid him flat on the bed.
seem--
If I wasn't afraid that he would move around, I might have held him for a while longer?
This thought was clearly written on the man's face, and it was obvious at a glance.
Cheng Ye: “…”
When the man reluctantly covered him with a blanket, Cheng Ye realized that the body covered by the blue and white hospital gown was almost entirely wrapped in white gauze, especially the chest, which was so stiff that it was wrapped in so many layers that it was unknown how many layers it was covered in.
No wonder it hurts to breathe, it's 100% likely because of broken ribs.
Cheng Ye raised his chin, trying to make his cervical spine feel more comfortable.
The man tactfully placed a soft pillow under him and said rather awkwardly, "This will make you more comfortable."
"Thank you." Cheng Ye looked the man up and down inconspicuously.
Estimated to be over 1.85 meters tall, he was wearing a black business suit and a royal blue tie, which was very stylish, but the loose way he tied it gave him a decadent look.
Her face looked a little haggard, her eyes were dark and blue, and the whites of her eyes were severely bloodshot. This was not the effect that could be produced by staying up late all night.
But it is undeniable that even so, it cannot conceal the man's strong and handsome face. Even because of this decadence, giving him a few breath of life can bring him closer.
After recalling it countless times in his mind, Cheng Ye still couldn't find any information related to him.
It must be someone I don’t know.
But the other party had obviously helped him, so Cheng Ye politely asked again: "Sorry, you haven't told me who you are yet? I'm..." He looked down at his hands that were wrapped like chicken claws, "I just woke up, and my memory seems a little confused."
Without 666, he saw strangers when he opened his eyes. He was not sure whether he had returned to his previous world or traveled to a new world.
"I, I'm just an ordinary passerby." The man's eyes flickered slightly, and even a fool could see that his ordinariness was definitely not ordinary in the true sense.
Cheng Ye looked at him quietly.
"Well, you were in a car accident, it's serious. I'm taking you to the hospital." The man's scalp tingled under his gaze, and he quickly avoided his gaze, evading the question. His intention to change the subject was very obvious, and he even turned and was about to leave. "Lie down for a while. I'll call the doctor. You need a full examination."
"Wait a minute!" Cheng Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed the man's wrist, which was so tight that veins were bulging.
"What, what happened?" The man's palms were sweating from nervousness. He subconsciously wanted to shake it off, but he was afraid of hurting Cheng Ye, so he forced himself to suppress his instinct.
"Are you nervous?" Cheng Ye asked sharply, "You're just a passerby, and you saved me, why are you nervous?"
"No, your phone and wallet are in the cabinet. Why should I be nervous?" The man told a joke to liven up the atmosphere, thinking it was funny, but Cheng Ye didn't even smile and stared at him seriously.
"..." The man pursed his lips, and the smirk on his lips gradually stiffened.
"Cheng Xi?" Cheng Ye's eyes were a little hot and he called out inexplicably.
It seems like expectation, if, if he was Cheng Xi, that would be great.
"How did you know?" The man widened his eyes, his single eyelids very conspicuous.
"...Now I know." It should have been a heartwarming scene, but Cheng Ye couldn't be moved at all with his expressionless face distorted to such an extent. It was already a great favor that he didn't laugh on the spot.
But because of this, the heaviness in my chest just now dissipated a lot.
It seems that as long as Cheng Xi is around, no matter how big the problem is, there is no need to worry or be upset.
Even if the sky falls, I will have no regrets as long as I can be buried with Cheng Xi.
The man was obviously stunned and looked at Cheng Ye helplessly.
He even wanted to pull his hand back, but after struggling for a while, he couldn't bear to do so. He wanted to explain but was afraid that saying too much would make mistakes and make Cheng Ye angry.
I mumbled for a long time, finally squeezing out a sentence: "Do you want to listen to me?"
He really wanted to, but when asked so bluntly, Cheng Ye felt that he was fourteen years old and had just reached the most rebellious period of youth.
He wanted to say it, but he just didn't want to listen!
only--
The hand hidden under the quilt pinched the thigh hard, causing excruciating pain.
Cheng Ye asked again, unable to suppress her tears, "Is it really Cheng Xi?"
"I am, I am, I am, please don't cry." Seeing Cheng Ye's eyes turn red, the man became even more panicked. He rubbed his other hand hard on the crotch of his pants and raised his hand to help him wipe away the tears that seeped out of the corners of his eyes.
Cheng Ye tilted his head and dodged.
A bit like an abandoned big dog, the man clearly showed a look of loss. He wanted to take his hand back but was unwilling to do so. However, he did not dare to disobey Cheng Ye for fear that he would be angry.
He held his hand in the air for a moment, then retracted it and put it behind his back in disappointment. He pinched his fingertips, recalling the delicate touch on Cheng Ye's face. "Let me go first. You've been unconscious for almost a week. You need to see a doctor for a systematic checkup."
"Car accident?" Cheng Ye tilted his head, confirming that this should be a return to the previous world. He didn't know if this was the reason why 666 left.
Can--
Haven't said goodbye yet.
It feels like a part of my heart has been dug out, leaving it empty and with a sense of emptiness as if my feet can't touch the ground.
Cheng Ye hated this feeling.
He tried his best to ignore it and focus all his attention on "Cheng Xi" in front of him: "I was in a coma for a week. When did you come here? You seem to have adapted to this world very well."
It seemed like she knew him quite well, otherwise she wouldn't have saved him and sent him to the hospital in time for his car accident.
"Like you, I am originally from this world."
"W-what do you mean?" Cheng Ye was stunned. "Have you been following me all along? Or do you also have... a system? Did we meet by coincidence?"
"Follow you." The man took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and even raised his voice slightly to give himself courage. "Because you were in a car accident and rescue was ineffective, I followed you through those worlds."
"Those worlds?" Cheng Ye bit the tip of his tongue, feeling as if he had heard an explosive news, and his tongue was a little out of control. "What are they? Who... are you?" You know, in some worlds, he is still quite free.
I tried everything that I wouldn't dare to do in the real world.
Cheng Ye felt that he didn't want to know the answer, but he had to know it.
Is it too late to admit your mistakes or apologize now?
Now it was Cheng Ye's turn to be nervous. He turned his face away, but his ears just pricked up. His hands unconsciously twisted the corners of the quilt, afraid that he would say something he didn't want to hear.
The man held his hand and stroked the back of his hand, as if to comfort him, and as if to confess his love, he whispered affectionately: "I am always by your side."
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, then immediately figured it out. He punched the man's arm and said, "Are you kidding me?"
Are they by my side? Aren’t they just those scumbags?!
"I didn't!" The man realized that he had misunderstood something and hurriedly explained, "It wasn't me at first, it was only me after you went there!" There was no way he could fall in love with someone else!
Cheng Ye was half-believing and half-doubting. He opened his eyelids and looked at him questioningly: "What do you mean?"
"To enter the new world, I need a carrier just like you. To make it easier for me to get to you, I exchanged souls with those people. I can borrow their bodies for a while after paying a certain price."
"However, there is no gap in those people's memories." As long as he explained, Cheng Ye believed it directly, but he still had some doubts.
After all, he is possessed by the original owner, and although he will also receive the original owner's memories, he will never confuse himself with the original owner as the same person - he fully understands that he is Cheng Ye, Cheng Ye who traveled from another world.
"I crossed the world illegally. In order to avoid being detected by the main system, I could only temporarily block my memory and even deceive myself that I am a native of that world." But even hypnosis cannot completely change the different natures of the two souls.
That's why the character's personality changes drastically before and after, especially when his attitude towards Cheng Ye is completely different.
In fact, he still had a little secret that he hadn't told Cheng Ye.
The man secretly glanced at Cheng Ye's face, hesitating whether to say it now.
Cheng Ye, however, had clearly not yet accepted the reality that the entire world loved him and that the same person was taking care of him. He sat on the bed, lost in thought, as if struck by lightning.
If knowing that Yang Sheng and Cheng Xi are the same person is a surprise, then knowing that everyone is the same person is a shock!
Because - there are a few of them that he clearly dislikes because of their personality, although it is the personality of the carrier itself as the man said.
But first impressions determine everything, otherwise he would not have left that world immediately when he showed the slightest sign of feelings for Lei Xiu, so as to avoid getting deeper and deeper into it.
If the person before and after is not the same person, he seems a bit of a jerk to the later person.
As he thought about it, Cheng Ye slowly leaned back, lay on the bed and slowly pulled up the quilt to cover his chin, mouth, and even his nose and eyes.
The man was afraid that he would suffocate, so he quickly pulled down, but Cheng Ye slapped him on the back of his hand.
Cheng Ye didn't have much strength, so naturally it didn't hurt, but the obvious resistance still hurt the man. He looked at Cheng Ye with drooping eyes and explained as if he was making a mistake: "You need to breathe."
Of course, if you don't breathe, you die.
Cheng Ye doesn't want to die yet.
There are still many things he hasn't figured out.
for example--
He opened his eyelids and stole a glance at the man who was a stranger but inexplicably familiar and close to him.
What is his relationship with this man?
Realizing that Cheng Ye didn't want to talk now, the man touched his nose awkwardly and said, "You are very weak now and need more rest. You should get some sleep. I'll be right next to you. If you need anything, just call me."
Following his gaze, Cheng Ye saw a double sofa, which was barely big enough for an adult man to sleep on if his feet were hung over the armrests.
Thinking of the tall man of nearly 1.9 meters in height huddled on the sofa in front of him, looking pitifully aggrieved, Cheng Ye's face gradually overlapped with Cheng Xi's in his mind, and he couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
I wanted him to have a good rest, but he opened his mouth but said nothing and closed his eyes.
His mind was in a mess and he hadn't figured out how to face the man.
The man stood up, but did not leave. His eyes were still fixed on Cheng Ye, who was pretending to sleep. After a long pause, he said, "My name is Tong Lu."
"I'm the chairman of Qianyi Technology." He wasn't showing off his wealth, he just instinctively wanted to tell Cheng Ye everything about himself.
Cheng Ye's eyelids moved.
Although he is not interested in finance, he also knows Qianyi Technology, which is said to be a leader in China's electronic technology industry and a pioneer in the internationalization of Chinese electronic technology products.
Other people’s small goals are to make 100 million first, while the small goal of 100 billion is to achieve 100 billion in operating income in a year.
Of course this is an exaggeration, but it also indirectly illustrates the development and prospects of Qianyi Technology.
This man in front of me, who looks to be around 30 years old and almost stumbles over his words due to nervousness, is the chairman of Qianyi Technology?
Is it so easy to start a company these days? Or is it even that easy?
Cheng Ye bit the tip of his tongue and managed not to open his eyes or scream out in surprise.
Seeing that Cheng Ye had no reaction, the man felt even more disappointed. He sat down on the sofa with his head drooped and opened his notebook dejectedly, but his pupils were out of focus and he was obviously distracted.
The single room was silent. Cheng Ye clutched the corner of the quilt tightly and tried to call 666 again.
"6? Are you still there?" Cheng Ye called several times, but there was still no response. "Will the binding be automatically untied when returning to the real world? But..." He wouldn't really be unwilling to even say hello.
Cheng Ye thought, maybe it was sent back by force, but its energy was exhausted and it couldn't respond to him.
Cheng Ye worriedly tried to establish contact with 666 again and again. He was so anxious that he even thought that if possible, he would be willing to use part of his life to convert into the energy needed for 666 to appear and even exist.
666 is his close friend, and he can't just let 666 make sacrifices for him while he just sits back and reaps the benefits.
Just as Cheng Ye was tossing and turning, Tong Lu, who was sitting quietly, suddenly opened his eyes and looked over sideways, with an inexplicable complex emotion on his face.
I wanted to stand up several times, but I took a deep breath and forced myself back.
If I tell him the truth, will Ye Zi think I'm plotting against him, and will she start to hate him?!
Tong Lu sighed, feeling that the densely packed small characters on the computer screen were wriggling like earthworms, filling up his brain, but he couldn't make any sense of them.
