Chapter 53 Are you alright?
Yu Nianqing replied with a smile, "[You guessed right.]"
In addition to roses, he also planted several pots of strawberries.
The seller told him that this variety of strawberry can grow just like weeds, and that you can grow a large, lush green patch by simply scattering some seeds on the soil.
Hopefully so.
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
The strawberry seedlings have already sprouted and grown, a large patch of green in the corner, with small red strawberries hanging on them.
She sent the photo to Hengxing, who responded with envy.
[Captain Heng (personal note): I really want to eat strawberry cake.]
That morning, Yu Nianqing got dressed and left the spaceship to attend Professor Wen and Mr. Liu's wedding.
The couple hadn't forgotten him and Hengxing, their two matchmakers, and specially invited them to attend the wedding.
It just so happened that the rose bush that Yu Nianqing planted wouldn't sprout any buds, so he decided to learn some advanced techniques from Mr. Liu.
"Long time no see." Professor Wen, dressed in a red fishtail dress, gave him a gentle hug.
"Long time no see. I thought you would be having your wedding on Rose Planet." Yu Nianqing handed her the gift he had prepared.
Professor Wen looked down and saw that the gift was addressed to "Heng Xing and Yu Nianqing." "I don't know when the planetary shield will be opened, so let's just do it now since we have time. It doesn't matter where we are. Didn't Heng Xing come?"
Yu Nianqing made an excuse, "She has some personal matters to attend to and can't get away, so I'm conveying her blessings to you on her behalf."
After exchanging pleasantries, he walked to the seat marked with his name tag inside the venue and sat down, next to Chi Qingyi.
Chi Qingyi asked him with equal curiosity, "Where is Ms. Heng?"
He used the same excuse to fool people.
"Hey, Nianqing, did you know that Dr. Lin has been fired?" Chi Qingyi said.
Yu Nianqing already knew that Heng Xing was behind this, but she still asked her in a supportive manner, "Why?"
Chi Ching-yi: "Wasn't she reported? She was found to have accepted bribes and committed academic misconduct. The papers she has published in recent years were not written by her."
Yu Nianqing: "It seems the hospital will be much cleaner without him."
After discussing that, the two started talking about other things.
After all, Lin He wasn't an important person in their lives.
Half an hour later, the wedding officially began.
Yu Nianqing captured the moment they kissed, witnessing the happy ending of a loving couple.
Wine-red rose petals fell from the sky, landing on the heads of the newlyweds and guests, eliciting gasps of surprise.
Chi Qingyi, standing beside her, looked excitedly at the rose petals in her palm. "So beautiful."
He thought so too, and sent the photo to Hengxing without any text.
Let her figure it out herself.
The wedding ended in the afternoon, and he boarded the aircraft back to port with the special flower seeds that Mr. Liu had given him.
Before boarding the aircraft, he stood on the ground and looked around for a long time.
After leaving the wedding hall, he felt a subtle, veiled gaze lingering on him, carrying a hint of malice that was repulsive.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find the source.
Maybe I'm just not feeling well today?
Let's hurry back; the spaceship is the safest place.
During the flight, he looked in the rearview mirror to check the front, back, left, and right sides, but found nothing, yet he felt a vague unease.
The area where the aircraft is parked at the port is at a distance that is neither too long nor too short from the spacecraft.
Yu Nianqing stepped off the aircraft and quickly walked onto the glass bridge.
Unexpectedly, as he turned the corner onto the glass bridge, a strong force grabbed his elbow and dragged him inward.
He was unable to resist and was forcibly dragged to the public toilet at the corner.
My back slammed heavily against the tiled wall, a sharp pain shooting through my spine, and tears welled up in my eyes.
A large hand pressed down on his throat, the tiger's mouth against his Adam's apple, making it hard for him to breathe.
"What...are you going to do?" The broken voice escaped from his throat.
The owner of the hand asked him, "Do you remember who I am?"
"Lin...He?"
"What...do you want to do?" he persisted.
She used to be quite dignified, but now the lines between her eyebrows are obvious, her face is full of fat, her cheekbones are prominent, and she looks fierce. She is almost unrecognizable from before.
It seems that her life has been quite difficult lately.
"Do you think I don't know who did this?" Lin He sneered, his eyes narrowing as he looked shifty and even less like a good person.
Yu Nianqing once ate a bad date; its skin was green and intact, but the flesh inside was rotten and smelly.
She looks a lot like Lin He.
The hand gripping his throat loosened slightly, and he gasped for breath, finally managing to utter a complete sentence: "What are you going to do?"
The cubicle door was locked from the inside, and Lin He was blocking the way, unable to break through.
In the afternoon, the area under the glass bridge was deserted and there were hardly any people around, so shouting for help would not get any response.
The space button contains anesthesia guns and energy guns, but the space is cramped and the hands are restricted, making it impossible to pull them out.
He decided to first appease the other party, feigning compliance to lower their guard, and then take the opportunity to retrieve the gun.
Yu Nianqing tried her best to keep her voice calm, "Why do you think it must be me?"
"I clearly have no ill intentions towards you."
"You mean me no harm, but that female Alpha does." Lin He snorted coldly, twisted his wrist, and forcefully pressed his body against the toilet.
Yu Nianqing's knees slammed heavily onto the ground.
It hurts a lot.
I heard the sound of a belt buckle being unbuckled behind me.
He struggled, but his hands were held tightly behind his back and he couldn't pull them out.
His vision gradually blurred, and the despair of his efforts being futile and the bleak future he could see caused him pain. His ears were congested, and all he could hear was the piercing tinnitus and the deafening pounding of his heart.
A feeling of nausea rises in my throat. I feel like vomiting.
The short time suddenly felt very long, and in the silence, the toilet door was suddenly kicked open.
Lin He looked back and saw the golden laser pierce through her arm. Blood sprayed out along with the laser holes, and the dark red blood splattered on the wall like red plum blossoms on a snowy night.
She let out a piercing scream and was immediately subdued by the police who rushed forward.
"Sir, are you alright?" A gentle female voice sounded from behind.
Yu Nianqing loosened his grip and immediately stood up, his legs still trembling. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "I'm fine, thank you."
The woman came up and helped him.
It was a female Beta, which made him feel more comfortable and less resistant.
Female Beta: "Don't be afraid, everything is alright now."
The buzzing in his ears still lingered. He braced himself against the wall, trying to avoid any blood. "What do I need to do?"
The female Beta said understandingly, "Go back and rest first. We'll take your statement in a few days."
A faint smile appeared on his pale face.
He replied, "Okay, thank you."
She helped Yu Nianqing onto the aircraft. "Do you want to go to the port? I'll take you there in a police aircraft."
Yu Nianqing turned and looked at Lin He, who was lying on the ground, unconscious like a dead pig. "What happened to her?"
Policewoman: "She was shot and drugged, sir. Don't worry, we caught her red-handed. She will be severely punished. Imperial law is very strict about this kind of thing."
She personally escorted him back to the aircraft door and left him her terminal number, saying, "I'll come back to you in a couple of days to get my statement taken. If you need anything else, feel free to contact me."
"How did you find out?" Yu Nianqing saved her number.
Policewoman: "The location alarm sent us the information just as we were patrolling nearby."
"Sir, this is not your problem. If you are still unhappy afterward, you can come to the police station and talk to the counselor."
"What are you going to do?" is a specific phrase that Yu Nianqing set for the location alarm.
Yu Nianqing sincerely thanked her, her fingers gently tracing the pearl earring by her ear.
He then immediately went back to the bathroom to shower, and looking in the mirror, he could clearly see dark purple bruises on his neck and back.
There were also bruises on my wrists and knees, and even the slightest movement caused me pain.
Yu Nianqing rubbed her skin vigorously, almost to the point of self-torture, leaving equally shocking red marks next to the purplish-blue marks.
Thinking about what happened that afternoon made him feel nauseous, his eyes stung, and he felt wronged, wanting to confide in someone.
But after taking a shower, I opened the terminal and found that Hengxing had not replied to any new messages.
She is very busy.
We shouldn't disturb her casually; what if something unexpected happens?
My body was buried in the sheets, and I could no longer smell the familiar scent of roses.
He'd been lying there for half a year, and the smell had long since dissipated with time, not to mention he washed the sheets every two weeks.
Disappointed and saddened, Yu Nianqing drifted off to sleep.
He dreamt that he was jumping from a plane high in the sky with a parachute pack on his back, his hair was curled upwards, and the unease of weightlessness turned into pleasure.
But when he reached the right altitude to open his parachute, he found that his parachute pack was stuck and he couldn't open it.
He plummeted downwards at an accelerating rate, watching in terror as the ground drew ever closer...
Then it crashed into a small lake.
Yu Nianqing, her face covered in sweat, sat up from the bed, panting. She found the light in front of her dim, and rows of neat beds with yellowed blankets.
Why here again!
He tried to lie back down on the bed, like a train trying to change direction and derail, constantly reversing.
But no matter how hard he tried, his body still couldn't control him and he rolled off the bed.
"Fifteen, where are you going?"
"I'm going to the bathroom," the answer slipped out of his mouth.
Do you want me to come with you?
...
Helplessly, he watched himself walk towards the restroom around the corner. Standing at the restroom door, the familiar, almost memorized, crying sound reached his ears.
"Sir, I beg you, please don't..."
Why make him repeat this scene over and over again?
Yu Nianqing gripped the doorframe tightly, unwilling to go in.
In this dream, he was like a pawn being manipulated, his legs moving forward automatically, leading him back to the starting point of his fear.
He tried to close his eyes, but all his efforts were in vain. He watched himself keep walking forward, and the crying in his ears gradually grew louder.
In despair, a familiar ringtone came to my ears.
A black terminal suddenly appeared in the air.
The physical limitations suddenly disappeared, and the right to use his body returned to his own hands.
He knew this was an opportunity and immediately rushed forward to grab the terminal.
In the spaceship cabin,
The man woke up with a start, sitting blankly on the bed, his forehead covered in sweat and his back completely soaked.
The only light source in the room was the terminal in his hand, on which the virtual screen displayed the face he longed for day and night.
"Mr. Yu, what happened?"
"I'm sorry, I just saw the emergency distress message sent to me by the location alarm."
Why aren't you saying anything?
"How are you?"
