In the void, several voices swirled and echoed in the air.
"Is it still about erasing memories and starting over?"
"Of course, how can we show the importance of time if we don't erase memories? This time, I hope you can erase them completely. Don't leave her with fragmented consciousness because of selfishness, understand?"
The voice from the horizon was deep and solemn.
Arno lay prostrate, his hands raised in a respectful and humble manner.
"I understand, please rest assured, Your Excellency."
"This is a test of the importance of time, concerning the dignity and honor of us time messengers. As a member, you must not take it lightly."
"Arnold will remember."
——
"Mission complete."
Task evaluation result: Excellent.
Tasker: Jin Shu.
Proceed to the next task? Yes.
Mission in progress...
1, 2, 3, Mission started successfully, mission participant Jin Shu successfully loaded.
The system successfully loaded after 48 hours.
The time flow ratio between the real and virtual worlds is 1:1; the system will be operational in 48 hours.
...
"Beep beep beep beep..."
A phone rang urgently.
Jin Shu sprang straight up from the bed. Before her mind could even process what was happening, her body had already nimbly and accurately located the phone hidden under her pillow.
Close your eyes and answer the phone.
"Please speak."
The voice on the other end of the phone was a woman's voice that sounded rather sticky and chewy.
"Are you Gu Xing's assistant? He got drunk at the club, are you here to pick him up?"
Upon hearing the woman's voice, a jolt of electricity ran through Jin Shu's mind, instantly clearing her previously drowsy brain.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself inside a vehicle. What she was lying on was not a bed, but a bed made up of the back seats of a minivan. What she was covered with was not a blanket, but a down jacket.
Jin Shu frowned, rubbed her face, and got out of the car without looking.
Five minutes later, she carried the completely drunk Gu Xing out.
The 1.87-meter-tall man was pressing down on her, making it difficult for Jin Shu to take each step.
Even so, she still had to free up one hand to put the man's hat on, and then put an extra-large, extra-wide black mask on him.
After laboriously getting the person into the car, Jin Shu got into the driver's seat and sped off to the hotel.
Jin Shu first placed the person on the sofa, then changed all the four-piece bedding sets on the bed to silk, added an electric blanket, and timed it so that the temperature inside the blanket was about right before turning back to put the unconscious Gu Xing on the bed.
After settling in, Jin Shu went downstairs to buy a cup of hot soy milk and put it in a thermos.
Two hours later, Gu Xing indeed started asking for a drink.
Jin Shu handed over some hot soy milk, which Gu Xing drank in large gulps. He sobered up considerably, but he was still clearly drunk.
It was already 5:30 in the morning.
"Teacher Gu, we have an interview at seven o'clock this morning. The makeup artist is already on the way. You can do your makeup in the car. You can still sleep for another twenty-five minutes now."
Go to sleep. I'll wake you up in twenty-five minutes.
The man squinted at her with his beautiful peach blossom eyes, then nodded, and fell asleep again without a second thought.
Twenty minutes later, Jin Shu woke Gu Xing up and handed him a glass of water and a painkiller.
"You have a hangover and a headache. Take your medicine and then take a shower. I think I've already prepared your clothes for today and they're hanging in the bathroom. You have 30 minutes to wash up and get ready. The driver will pick you up downstairs at 6:15."
Gu Xing yawned, and walked around shirtless while taking painkillers.
Twenty-five minutes later, the sound of water still hadn't stopped.
Jin Shu glanced at her watch, then walked to the bathroom door and knocked.
“Teacher Gu, if you need more time to prepare, I will contact the driver first and ask him to come five minutes later.”
"Okay, sure."
The man's voice drifted lazily through the sound of the water.
At 6:20, Jin Shu arrived downstairs carrying large and small bags. Behind her, Gu Xing, wearing a mask and sun hat, and dressed in the clothes he had specially prepared for the interview under his down jacket, strolled out slowly in slippers.
After getting into the car, Jin Shu discovered that there was someone else sitting next to the driver.
She has a good memory and can immediately recognize the other person's identity based on their profile.
"Sister Zhao, I'm sorry, our teacher Gu's stomach problems flared up again this morning, so he was delayed for a while."
"You must have been waiting long. This is the breakfast I prepared for you."
After saying that, Jin Shu handed over the Starbucks breakfast that she had bought while Gu Xing was taking a shower.
There were three copies in total: one for the driver, one for the makeup artist, and one for Ms. Zhao, the business liaison.
Zhao Jie, who was initially in a bad mood because she had waited an extra five minutes, saw the carefully prepared breakfast in her hand. When she opened it, she found that it was her usual cappuccino with a thick egg sandwich, and her anger subsided considerably.
"Thanks."
"It was all thanks to Teacher Gu's reminder. His stomach pain is a chronic problem. He was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, but he still told me that Sister Zhao usually likes this breakfast combination the most."
That's how I know.
Upon hearing this, Sister Zhao glanced at Gu Xing, who had closed his eyes and fallen asleep as soon as he got on the bus, and her expression finally softened a little.
"Alright, let's get going. We only have half an hour left. Luckily, we got here early to prepare, otherwise we definitely wouldn't have enough time."
Jin Shu got up and told the driver.
"Master, I know a shorter route. You can follow my navigation."
The driver glanced at it.
"No, you'll have to go through the flower and bird market."
"It's alright. The flower and bird market isn't open yet at this time, and there's a traffic restriction for vehicles coming from the opposite direction at 6:40. We'll have no problem walking through here, don't worry."
The driver glanced at Jin Shu in the rearview mirror, then started the car and drove directly to the entrance of the flower and bird market according to the navigation she had given him. Finally, he drove out of the narrow road without any problems.
"Hey young lady, are you a local? You seem to know the roads here so well!"
Jin Shu smiled, her round face looking quite gentle and endearing when she smiled.
“I’m not a local. Teacher Gu is coming here to film a variety show in a studio in a while, so I rode my bike around here a few times.”
The driver looked at Jin Shu with eyes full of admiration.
"Amazing, truly amazing."
Hearing this, Sister Zhao also glanced at Jin Shu a few more times.
"You are very thoughtful in your work."
"That's only right."
Sister Zhao glanced at Gu Xing with a hint of impatience and muttered under her breath.
"You don't know as much about his previous ones as you do."
Jin Shu smiled and didn't say anything more.
She speaks when she should, and doesn't say a word more when she shouldn't.
Guided by the navigation, Gu Xing arrived at the interview location on time, and her makeup was just finished.
As they got off the bus, Jin Shu handed Gu Xing a thermos from her bag.
"You drank alcohol last night, so don't drink coffee."
