Chapter 328: Ring of Familiarity
Zhu Fu Gaoming had just returned from school when he saw the girl daydreaming in the sunset.
Her face was too pale, with dark circles under her eyes, and her face was thin, which made her eyes look even bigger.
But what caught the most attention was the dark mark on his arm.
It doesn't look like a burn, more like a birthmark.
Zhu Fu Gaoming had never seen a birthmark in such a strange location and with such a large area, but he just glanced at it and looked away.
A girl of about fourteen or fifteen got out of her uncle's car after get off work. She must have been the person her uncle brought back from the police station.
Are you homeless?
Maybe there are other reasons.
"Gao Ming. This is Ali, she'll be your sister from now on." Jiu Teng Dahai didn't tell the child about Lin Xi's origins, nor did he mention that she might only stay for a while before leaving, fearing the child would overthink things. "Ali, this is Gao Ming."
Zhufu Gaoming smiled and said, "Hello, Ahri."
Lin Xi looked at Zhu Fu Gaoming's beardless face with great curiosity.
The young Zhufu Gaoming had a very low hairline and looked like a pale-faced scholar when he had no beard.
"Hello, my name is Lin Li."
Jiuto Dahai glanced at her and wondered if she had thought of her last name so quickly?
Lin is not a common surname.
Hisato Kudo's wife, Kudo Izumi, is a virtuous wife and an excellent entrepreneur.
This is especially rare in this era when female entrepreneurs are extremely rare.
She and Kuto Kaimei didn't have children, but they had a good relationship. In fact, they hadn't considered having children. Both Kuto Kaimei and Kuto Izumi were so busy that they only saw each other a few times a month. Such circumstances were clearly not conducive to raising children.
However, both of them love children very much.
Perhaps people always beautify the path they have not walked. When Izumi Kudo saw his sister's child, he always felt that if he had a child, he would definitely be like Morobushi Takaaki when he grew up.
Kudo Izumi is neither pedantic nor superstitious. She doesn't think there's anything wrong with the birthmark on the girl's arm. She supports her husband's decision and believes that the two children's company may create a chemical reaction and be beneficial to their growth.
Moreover, Ali is very cute, satisfying all of Kudo Izumi's fantasies about a well-behaved girl.
She waved her hand and told her assistant to send back some new clothes of the season suitable for Lin Xi's age tomorrow.
After failing to find Linxi's family after a few days, Jiu Teng and Quan prepared to arrange for her to go to school. It was only September, and the school year had just started, making it a perfect time to enroll her.
Lin Xi: “…”
In a way, Lin Xi was truly lucky. She could easily find a financially independent family by simply going to the police station and trying to scam them. It could be said that she hadn't lived a single day of poverty since she transmigrated into the book.
But she insisted on working.
"Auntie, I want to earn money through my own labor," she said seriously. "I'll do a part-time job after school. It won't affect my studies."
Kudo Izumi thought about it and agreed.
"Ask your brother if you have any questions," she said.
Lin Xi looked at Zhu Fu Gaoming.
The other person smiled warmly.
How should I put it, he has the demeanor of an old cadre despite being so young.
Her room had been tidied and covered with a pink quilt. Lin Xi knew they would never find her so-called family, so she had already made plans to live here for a long time and lay down.
Noah spoke at this time.
"Ms. Lin."
"I've detected the first mission."
"oh?"
Lin Xi became interested. "What is it?"
Is it related to the organization or to Gin? Murder or robbery?
"...improve the technological level of this world," Noah said.
Lin Xi:?
Improve technological standards.
Who? Her?
…
Soon Lin Xi had no time to think about how to complete this task.
Because her low fever suddenly turned into a high fever.
She had caught a strange cold and was now coughing.
When Noah woke her up, she found that her throat was swollen and sore, and her voice was hoarse.
"Your temperature is 39 degrees Celsius," Noah said seriously. "You need to take medicine immediately."
Lin Xi: “…”
"How is that possible?" She put her hand on her forehead. "It's not that hot, is it?"
Noah: "...It's not accurate for someone with a fever to test themselves, Ms. Lin."
Miss Lin had a very serious fever and was almost crazy.
Lin Xi shook his head and sat up: "What time is it now?"
"It's eight o'clock in the morning," Noah said. "Kudou Kaiji has already gone to work, and Kudou Izumi has also left."
"The home medicine kit should be kept in the living room."
So Lin Xi opened the door in her slippers and prepared to go downstairs to find the first aid kit.
As a result, I met Zhu Fu Gao Ming in the corridor.
He looked at Lin Xi, whose face was unusually rosy, and frowned.
He seemed to have just come up from downstairs, holding a cup of hot milk in his hand.
Doesn't he go to school today?
Lin Xi looked at him puzzledly.
Zhu Fu Gaoming paused and said, "It's the weekend today. My uncle and aunt have gone to work, so I made breakfast for you."
Lin Xi's eyes moved slowly to the hot milk.
"I saw that you haven't gotten up yet. I was worried that your stomach would feel uncomfortable if you didn't eat breakfast, so I thought of asking you to drink some milk before going to bed." He explained, and his other hand stroked Lin Xi's forehead.
"You have a fever," he said.
The girl was wearing loose pajamas and her whole body was wrapped in illness. When she heard the words, she raised her head with a confused look in her eyes.
This reminded Zhu Fu Gaoming of the kitten his younger brother had brought home.
"Go back to your room and lie down first. I'll get you some medicine."
He patted Lin Xi's back gently.
Lin Xi lowered his eyes.
Zhu Fu Gaoming was a man who was used to making arrangements. He always held the initiative in his own hands, and when the weak appeared around him, he always took care of them.
But Lin Xi was not used to being taken care of. In a sense, she and Zhu Fu Gao Ming were the same type of people, also used to taking care of others.
However, at this moment she did not feel any discomfort, and even... had a vague sense of familiarity.
Lin Xi would not let go of any strange feeling, and she began to think about her past interactions with Zhu Fu Gaoming.
Their first meeting was at Qingyue Mountain. He protected her, even though she didn't need it. Their last meeting was when he handed him the news of his brother's death. When Zhufu Gaoming picked up the envelope, Lin Xi was watching him from a distance.
However, Lin Xi did not find the source of the familiar feeling. Rather than Zhufu Gaoming bringing her this familiar feeling, it was Zhufu Jingguang's behavior that made her feel familiar.
"Noah." Lin Xi, who had been lying on the bed obediently, stared blankly at the ceiling. "Do you think I will have a brother too?"
Will take care of his brother when he is sick.
People always imagine that what they have lost is still with them.
Lin Xi, who lost his memory, is no exception.
Whenever she thought about the possibility that she once had a happy family, she felt a thick sourness in her heart.
Noah didn't know anything about Lin Xi's past. He only knew that she was most likely an experimental subject, so he was cautious and didn't say anything.
Lin Xi smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart.
Sure enough, being sick makes people vulnerable.
Look what she is thinking about?
While she was in a daze, Zhu Fu Gaoming went back upstairs.
He brought a thermometer, antipyretics and a wet towel, took Lin Xi's temperature and cooled her down physically.
Lin Xi obediently let him play with her.
"Drink the milk and go to sleep." Zhu Fu Gaoming said like a little adult, "If your fever hasn't subsided by noon, I'll take you to the hospital for an injection."
Lin Xi curled her lips.
"I don't want an injection."
Zhu Fu Gaoming was amused by her childishness.
"The injection makes it heal quickly," he said.
The girl's eyes were a little watery due to her illness, and there was a sense of grievance in them.
Zhu Fu Gaoming lowered his voice: "Don't be afraid. I will accompany you."
He paused and then said, "Brother will accompany you."
He touched Lin Xi's red cheek with the back of his hand and felt that the physical cooling effect was slightly effective.
What a fragile person, he thought.
I'm too thin and need to take good care of myself to become healthy again.
Before he went out, Lin Xi grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Thank you, Brother Gao Ming."
She said.
Lin Xi has always had a strong sense of belonging. If she wants something, she must get it, just like a unreasonable child.
But feelings are an exception.
Only today did she discover the subtle inferiority in her heart - she felt that she was not worthy of true love.
But on the other hand, she is willing to believe in other people's love wholeheartedly.
This is an illogical contradiction.
The familiar feeling she felt today was like a bolt of thunder to her.
After her revenge, her memory seemed to be recovering.
She had a feeling that being with Zhufu Gaoming would help her remember more things...
.
Outside the ring.
Miyano Shiho suppressed her rage, roared and floated out of the laboratory, found the boss, and started punching and kicking him.
"How could you do this to her!" she roared, even though the ghost's voice couldn't reach anyone. "How dare you erase her memory like this!"
"She's only twelve! Those are her most precious possessions. Without those memories, she'd truly be homeless!"
She was crying as she spoke.
Because she knew clearly that all of this was Lin Xi's past experience.
She could hardly imagine how difficult it was for Lin Xi to grow up to be the person she was when they met.
The boss couldn't hear her.
He is drinking tea.
The subordinate who was monitoring Lin Xi reported to him that the young lady's specimen was ready.
He hummed lightly.
Miyano Shiho was so angry that she spat into his teacup in an unladylike manner.
Anyway, no one saw her, so she let herself go.
When she floated up again, she saw the lifelike cat specimen placed on the display stand.
It is very lifelike, even the blue glass beads in the eyes are quite vivid.
Miyano Shiho thought of coconuts.
This cat looks a lot like Coconut when he was a child.
Could it be that Sister Lin raises coconuts for this reason?
Lin Xi was taking medicine. After taking the medicine, Miyano Shiho saw her pouring wine into her stomach.
A glass of strong liquor was poisoned, but Lin Xi's face did not blush at all. She calmly bit the ice cubes in the liquor.
Miyano Shiho knew that this medicine was an auxiliary drug for implanting consciousness, and Lin Xi had to drink it every day.
It has strong side effects, and after taking it, the body will have an unbearable burning sensation.
Liquor and ice can help relieve pain.
She substituted wine for water every day, and since she couldn't get drunk, she would drink until she was drunk. This habit of liking cold drinks continued even after she lost her memory of this period - there were always buckets of ice in the Lin family's refrigerator.
After she finished drinking, she went to the second room.
It's time for experimentation.
Miyano Shiho followed in silence.
Noah’s coordinates cannot be wrong, and the BOSS will implant the “system” into Lin Xi in the near future.
Once he did this, Miyano Shiho would have to infect it with the virus in her hand as soon as possible.
