The phone vibrated and rang, and Ren Suo, who was lying on the bed, subconsciously loosened his hand, and the phone hit him hard on the bridge of his nose.
It didn't hurt, but when he picked up the phone, he swiped the answer button and a familiar voice came from the phone: "Hey!? Brother Ren, are you really awake?"
Ren Suo heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Xian Yu?"
"Yes, it's me, the Envy Fish!"
Just by listening to the voice, Ren Suo could imagine Lin Xianyu pointing at him with a thumbs up with a proud look on his face.
"How do you know I'm awake?" Ren Suoqi asked.
"You just liked Mr. Zhao's WeChat Moments post. I liked it too, so I knew it when you liked it."
"..." Ren Suo was convinced. Why hasn't this stupid feature of WeChat been cancelled yet?
However, among the people he knew, only Lin Xianyu would frequently check Moments and comment and like posts. Others either did not check Moments or just read without liking them, so this information channel was almost exclusively available to Lin Xianyu.
"Yeah, I'm awake, nothing's wrong now."
"That's good, hehe. Brother Ren, you don't know, during those seven days when you and the monitor slept together, I was so nervous that I couldn't concentrate on class," Lin Xianyu said seriously, "We finally waited for you to wake up, but you suddenly fainted again, and we were all scared."
"Thanks……"
"By the way, Brother Ren, what is the relationship between you and Xiao Jiu?"
Ren Suo was slightly startled: "Uh...adoption relationship? What's wrong?"
"Before, when you and the monitor were in deep sleep, we kept it a secret from Xiaojiu. At that time, your condition was so strange that you had to be sent to the hospital, so we couldn't hide it. But after Xiaojiu saw you, although she kissed you very much, she was very relieved and was sure that you would wake up. It was because of her that Teacher Dong, Sister Qiao, Teacher Bai and the monitor were so relieved to let you be transferred to your hometown."
The relationship between Ren Suo and Xiao Jiu is simple, just like the relationship between Pakistan and Kaspersky; it is also complicated, because Xiao Jiu was once a game character and has a bond with him, and there are many evolutions about mind control in Xiao Jiu's nine-tailed fox evolution system, not to mention that Xiao Jiu once swallowed the secret treasure of the Federation, so it is not impossible for Xiao Jiu to perceive the changes in Ren Suo's soul.
However, there was no way to explain these things to Lin Xianyu, so Ren Suo changed the subject: "By the way, you guys are on vacation, right? Where is Xiaojiu now?"
"Winter vacation has already started, and I've gone home." Lin Xianyu seemed to be rolling around in bed, her voice swaying: "Xiao Jiu went back to Teacher Dong's hometown with Teacher Dong. When your parents came over, Brother Ren, they also asked Xiao Jiu if she wanted to go back to Baiyun with them."
In terms of legal relations, Xiaojiu's guardians are Ren Suo's parents, and neither he nor Cheng Ling has the right to adopt a little girl - even if they are married, they are not old enough. Facing any perverted lolita control who tries to adopt a little girl to do dirty things, Xuanguo has a complete set of laws.
"Then Xiaojiu doesn't want to, and would rather be with Cheng Ling?" Ren Suo speculated.
"No, Xiaojiu is willing," Lin Xianyu denied Ren Suo's shallow wisdom: "But Teacher Dong is unwilling. After she talked to Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu also said that she wanted to go home with Teacher Dong, and then uncle and aunt agreed."
"Huh?" Ren Suo was a little surprised. This behavior was unlike Dong Chengling. "Do you know why?"
"I don't know, just ask the teacher." Lin Xianyu's voice was as happy as the sound of wind chimes: "Brother Ren, you haven't called Teacher Dong yet, right?"
"……without."
"I didn't call Sister Qiao either, but the monitor, right?"
"I was just about to call, and then you called." Ren Suo hinted at her to hang up quickly. How come this salty fish was becoming more and more arrogant?
“Then I won’t tell the monitor that you’ve woken up, and let you give him a surprise, Brother Ren.” Lin Xianyu didn’t care about Ren Suo’s subtext at all, and said with a smile: “By the way, Brother Ren, your coma was just right, otherwise something serious might have happened on the spot.”
Ren Suo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately retorted, "I have a guilty conscience, what can I do about it? Ren Suo!?"
“Brother Ren, calm down, you can’t even speak clearly.” Lin Xianyu chuckled, then restrained his smile and said seriously: “But Brother Ren, I was watching from the side, after you woke up and fainted again, they were really nervous and panicked. I have never seen Teacher Dong so overwhelmed.
Before uncle and aunt came, it was Xiao Xingxing and the others who took turns to take care of you day and night. I have never seen Sister Qiao so gentle and patient.
And the squad leader, she cried so much during those days, she thought it was her fault that you became like this. I have never seen such a pitiful squad leader.
So, Brother Ren, I just want to tell you that they treat you…"
"I know." Ren Suo crawled into the bed and said in a muffled voice.
"Holding a special... Hey? You know?" Lin Xianyu on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then said in a suspicious tone: "What do you know? Do you know that they are 'good friends' from whom you can borrow a lot of money?"
"I know Dong Chengling, Qiao Muyi, Gu Yueyan are all xi..." Ren Suo couldn't continue speaking, hugged the pillow tightly and pretended to be mute - such lines that sounded like those in a 7 o'clock family love TV drama were really hard to say, and they sounded stupid and narcissistic.
“xi~~~?” Lin Xianyu dragged out the ending sound.
"…Why am I telling you this?" Ren Suo came to his senses. "Thank you for calling, Mr. Lin. Ren Suo thanks you for your continued support. Goodbye—"
“Wait, wait!” Lin Xianyu quickly stopped Ren Suo and said, “I want to ask you one last question.”
"What's the problem?"
"If Mr. Dong and Ms. Qiao, the monitor, both fell into the water, who would you choose to save first?"
"I will choose to throw you down too!" Ren Suo said viciously.
"What? Brother Ren, are you planning to drag me into this—"
I hung up the phone directly and my ears were finally at peace.
Ren Suo couldn't help but sigh. Girls really change a lot when they grow up. After just one month of not seeing each other, Lin Xianyu has become more and more arrogant. Her attitude is just like she wants to watch his show...
However, hanging up the phone with Lin Xianyu meant that Ren Suo had no reason to delay any further.
In fact, there was nothing to hesitate about, and after being reminded by Lin Xianyu, Ren Suo knew that although he relied on "tactical coma" to delay for a month, he was relieved and could rest and recuperate, but others were worried about him.
As for who to call first, Ren Suo chose to leave it to the address book - just now he slid down the address book and dialed in order from bottom to top, namely 'Qiao (q)', 'Gu (g)' and 'Dong (d)'.
Ren Suo called Qiao Muyi and heard the call was connected for a moment and then hung up.
Ren Suo looked at his phone in confusion and called again, only to hear a busy tone saying "The user you dialed is currently on a call."
Ren Suo thought about it and decided that it was afternoon now and Master Mu might be at work, so he would look for her later.
I called Gu Yueyan and the call was answered quickly: "Mr. Suo!?"
"Yeah, it's me... I'm awake." Ren Suo said this as if he had just woken up from a lazy nap.
"That's good, I hope you wake up," Gu Yueyan's voice was a little tearful. She took a deep breath and then said slowly, "I won't say these words that I have implicated you again."
"Well, these are all my own faults. It really has nothing to do with you. On the contrary, it is with your help that I was able to leave the Dark Side of the Moon alive." Ren Suo immediately comforted him.
"I don't need you to comfort me... It's just that I once made a promise in the church that no matter good or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happy or sad, I will love you without reservation." Gu Yueyan's voice was full of shame, but she still insisted on speaking: "Since this is the case, it doesn't matter if you are implicated, because no matter what, I will take care of you unconditionally. I originally planned to go to your house after the Spring Festival and persuade your uncle and aunt to transfer you back to Tianlian College, and then let me take care of you."
Compared to Ren Suo who couldn't even say "xi", Gu Yueyan's love level was one level higher than his.
"That's just..." Ren Suo said subconsciously, and then got stuck.
"What is that? Just a role-playing?" Gu Yueyan said aggressively, "Mr. Suo, if you think that was just a lie I told for the gift of the Dark Side of the Moon, and there was no witness, I can immediately record a video and put it online as permanent video material. Although I am not old enough to get a marriage certificate, there is no problem with just holding the wedding. And -"
"I was wrong." Ren Suo said immediately, "I actually tried to slander your sincerity. It's my fault. I apologize for my mistake. Please forgive me."
Unlike Dong Chengling and Qiao Muyi, Gu Yueyan possesses Qiao Muyi's fierce offensiveness while also possessing Dong Chengling's upright defensiveness. She will do whatever it takes within the boundaries of the rules and will never play tricks with Ren Suo. She will rely on open conspiracy and the righteous army to completely crush Ren Suo.
What she is best at is to use the truth to suppress the rebellion.
Simply put, Ren Suo collapsed at the first touch when facing such a Gu Yueyan.
Gu Yueyan exhaled lightly and said softly, "I'm very happy."
"As long as you are okay, that's better than anything else."
Before Ren Suo could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Gu Yueyan ask, "Then you must still remember that kiss, right?"
kiss……
Ren Suo blinked and remembered.
When Ren Suo was about to implement the risky 'Plan to Kidnap the Goddess', he thought he might be in trouble. At that time, Gu Yueyan asked him tearfully 'Can you like me'. Ren Suo completely let himself go at that moment and spoke with his actions.
And Ren Suo was very sure that he did not agree to it out of a mentality like "I'll feel good if I'm dying soon" or "She's so pitiful", but when he was in the Crystal Cathedral, he had already confirmed that he wanted to develop a lifelong super-friendship with Gu Yueyan...
It's just that Ren Suo has been forcing himself to suppress this dirty thought, but he might be in danger of dying while saving Luna, so he couldn't hold it back and let it out for a bit.
It's just that it feels good to talk quickly, but afterwards... it's like a hell.
"Remember."
Ren Suo suddenly relaxed. In fact, when he was in the Dark Side of the Moon, he had already been thinking about what to do after he left alive.
Or, he would fulfill his promise and live with Gu Yueyan for the rest of his life. But the problem was that when he made the promise, Luna was also there, so it would become a 1.5 lifelong couple.
Although Ren Suo didn't know who Luna's true identity was, he didn't think that Luna would not be able to find him - even if Luna couldn't find him, he had to find Luna, even if it was just to confirm that his rescue was successful.
Therefore, the promise of "loyalty to one person" could not be fulfilled repeatedly from the beginning, he could only fulfill the promise of "loyalty to many people" repeatedly... Why does it sound like a traitor?
Therefore, facing Gu Yueyan who had seen his shameless side, Ren Suo completely let go of his thoughts of hiding and chose to expose himself completely: "Before I passed out, you asked me what I said to Luna... Actually, when I was saving Luna, Luna told me that I had not yet answered the oath question from the church priest, and then I answered - I am willing to love you forever...you."
Gu Yueyan was silent, and Ren Suo was ready for her to hang up the phone.
"This you guys... only include me and Luna?"
"More than that." Ren Suo couldn't help but tremble when he said this. He felt like a warrior who stood up in school and shouted to the class teacher, "I didn't do my homework today."
"Sure enough..." Gu Yueyan was not surprised at all, "You have been in a coma for a month, so your mood has not changed now, right?"
Ren Suo: “No… not yet.”
For some reason, Ren Suo felt that whatever he said now was a bit shameless.
"You...you can actually lie to me...Shouldn't it be very easy for you to lie to a female college student like me?" Gu Yueyan was a little amused.
"I can't fool you. The only one who can fool you is yourself." Ren Suo sat on the bed and smiled bitterly, "I can't even fool myself. I just want to do a lot of vulgar things with you... I can't stop myself, but if you can..."
"That won't do." Gu Yueyan seemed to know what he wanted to say and interrupted him directly: "I can't live in your heart. I will die in a foreign land."
"I'm not really scared. At least, you haven't been kidnapped by others... Actually, it's me who hasn't been able to kidnap you from others."
"However, now that we are chatting over the phone, Mr. Suo, you have become much bolder... When we meet face to face in the future, I will see if you can still say such words, hehe."
Ren Suo blinked, "Then... goodbye?"
"We'll talk next time we meet face to face." Gu Yueyan said briskly, "It won't take long."
Yes, it won’t be long, but it will be at least half a month before school starts!
It was as if he had just gone through an exciting boss battle, and Ren Suo's whole body relaxed.
"By the way, I told Mr. Dong and Sister Qiao everything we experienced in the Dark Side of the Moon. Bye."
The big boss Gu Yueyan suddenly counterattacked when he was on the verge of death and directly defeated Ren Suo.
Ren Suo was confused for a moment, then after some thought, he felt that nothing seemed to have changed - he had originally planned to take things one step at a time, otherwise how could he develop a strategy based on each person's situation?
But he was not too scared. He hugged the pillow and called Dong Chengling.
"Hello, Cheng Ling?"
"Suo, how are you?" Dong Chengling never talks nonsense.
"Very good, almost like just waking up. I damaged my mental strength when I came back from the trial, so I was unconscious for so long." Ren Suo briefly described his condition.
Dong Chengling: "Well, I'm doing well here too. Xiaojiu is here with me and is very popular with my parents. Tianlian College will start after the Lantern Festival. You will need to inform the vice-president of your awakening. You will probably have to go to work on the 20th."
Ren Suo: "So how's your training progress?"
Dong Chengling: "After the fourth level, the difficulty of cultivation increases a lot. The fifth level is still far away for me. What about you?"
Ren Suo: "I just woke up and I haven't checked the cyclone yet, but I'm in a hurry to inform you..."
Dong Chengling said "hmm" and said nothing more.
Ren Suo didn't say anything either.
The two of them remained silent for dozens of seconds, and did not hang up the phone. However, Ren Suo was used to it. He and Dong Chengling often stayed silent like this, because he felt that he already knew the answer to some questions before he asked them out loud.
Dong Chengling’s way of thinking is so easy to understand that you know the answer without asking.
I guess Dong Chengling thinks so about him too.
Ren Suo suddenly asked: "Why do you want Xiao Jiu to go to your house?"
Dong Chengling was silent for a while, then said, "Suo, I am the same age as you."
"Um."
"Have your parents urged you to get married?"
"Yes...oh?" Ren Suo understood: "Are you also urged by your parents?"
"Almost. My family is quite traditional. Even though I am successful in my career and don't need me to have children, they still hope that I can find a partner as soon as possible, and they will talk about this matter often... So I brought Xiaojiu back to help distract them. But don't worry, they treat Xiaojiu very well."
Of course Ren Suo was relieved that everyone would be nice to Xiao Jiu.
"I didn't expect that you, Cheng Ling, would have this kind of trouble that you can't solve by yourself." Ren Suo sighed.
In Ren Suo's impression, Dong Chengling and Qiao Muyi are both strong people who "nothing can stump them", but Dong Chengling is "I don't care about any problems" and Qiao Muyi is "I don't care about any rules", anyway, they can solve all problems in their own way.
"Xiao Jiu is just a temporary solution," Dong Chengling said with a smile, "The real way to solve the problem once and for all is for me to bring a boyfriend home."
Ren Suo was slightly startled, he stammered, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "For example... me?"
Dong Chengling seemed a little surprised. She thought for a moment and said, "My home is not far from Baiyun City... Xiaojiu and I would be very happy if you could come to my home to celebrate the New Year."
"Huh? ... Then which day do you want me to go?"
"The third, fourth, and fifth days are all fine."
When Ren Suo hung up the phone, he realized what he had just done.
"Why did I agree to that..." Ren Suo looked confused. They were just chatting.
However, Dong Chengling's gentle and soft tone made it impossible for him to refuse. Moreover, it was he who brought up the topic and recommended himself. Dong Chengling just guided the topic slightly...
Ren Suo had a little doubt in his heart, but it disappeared immediately - impossible, how could Dong Chengling have such a little trick? If it was Qiao Muyi, he might still be a little suspicious.
Just visiting someone you don't know to wish them a happy new year is like a public execution...
Ren Suo was melancholy for a while, but he was not worried about having too many debts. He quickly pulled himself together and called Qiao Muyi.
He had a feeling this would be the most troublesome one.
He was ready for a verbal battle.
However, the response Ren Suo got was a busy tone saying "The user you dialed is currently on a call."
Ren Suo frowned slightly and called three more times, but all the calls were busy.
Then he called Yu Kuangtu: "Hello, Lao Tu, this is Ren Suo."
"You're not dead yet!?" Yu Kuangtu's surprised voice always made Ren Suo wonder if the bond between him and him was a fake product: "It's amazing! Even a vegetative person can come back to life!"
"Thank you for your congratulations," Ren Suo said with a dark face, "Did Qiao Muyi go to work today?"
The Countermeasures monks are not teachers and students. It is only the 27th year now, and the Countermeasures Bureau must still be at work. Qiao Muyi is still in Lianjiang.
"No, she's off today. Do you have something to do with her?"
"…Nothing, I just wanted to inform her…"
"Then call her."
"If I can get through to her, why would I look for you?"
"She asked me to tell you the bad news that you are not dead yet." Yu Kuangtu said lazily: "But she doesn't answer your calls... Hehe, then you should be careful, she must be very angry with you."
"What do you mean?" Ren Suo felt that Yu Kuangtu must have been bullied by Qiao Muyi many times, so he must be very experienced, so he asked him quickly.
"She can usually greet people with a smile even when she's angry, but now she can't even be bothered to say hello to you, which shows that she's already frustrated and wants to deal you a fatal blow. Brother, have a good meal and have a good New Year, because you may not have such a good life in the future."
After hanging up the call with Yu Kuangtu, Ren Suo turned over and lay on the bed, frowning in thought.
Of course he didn't take Yu Kuangtu's jokes seriously, but he did take one word to heart.
Feeling discouraged.
Is Qiao Muyi...disappointed with him?
So you don't even answer the phone?
It was very possible, after all, Gu Yueyan said that she told Qiao Muyi and Dong Chengling everything that happened in the Dark Side of the Moon. Not to mention Dong Chengling, given Qiao Muyi's personality, if he found out that he had flirted with two more girls in the Dark Side of the Moon, he might indeed be disappointed with him.
Moreover, after a month of cooling off, Ren Suo had not appeared in Qiao Muyi's sight at all. Qiao Muyi re-examined their relationship and thought it was possible that it was just an illusion...
There is nothing worthy of others’ liking about Ren Suo himself... Or maybe it’s strange that anyone likes him...
…
…
After buying groceries, Ren's mother came back and put the fresh eggs in the refrigerator. Suddenly, she heard the bedroom door slam and Ren Suo strode out.
"Mom, you don't have to cook for me today."
"You just got out of the hospital, where do you want to go?" Ren's mother glanced at him and said, "Don't tell me you're going to an Internet cafe."
"Let's go back to Lianjiang to get some things." Ren Suo went to the bathroom to tidy up his appearance. His mother seemed to help him wipe his body, but he still had to shave his beard by himself. His hair was also messy and needed to be fixed with hair clay. Unfortunately, there was no tool like an eyelash curler at home.
"Now?" Ren's mother was stunned.
"Now."
Ren Suo opened the door and went out, then he saw his sister Ren Xingmei coming back.
"Brother——" Ren Xingmei shouted in surprise, and Ren Suo went over and hugged her tightly.
The huge surprise hit Ren Xingmei's pituitary gland. She subconsciously wanted to hug Ren Suo in return, but she hugged nothing.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm going back to Lianjiang to get some things." Ren Suo said and left quickly using the "Ghost Steps". Ren Xingmei couldn't even touch his collar.
"elder brother--"
"I'll be back tomorrow at the latest!"
Ren Xingmei looked at his back as he turned the corner of the corridor, sighed softly, her eyes filled with sadness.
"I'm a second-level person..."
