Chapter 17: Reincarnation Mission of No. 99 17
Jiuchao has been absent-minded the whole day today.
He didn't go to school all day today, but even when he was with his friends, his mind was full of Zhao Miaomiao.
He was in a daze the whole day. When his friends talked to him, they had to call him several times before he could hear them and come to his senses.
The reason for not going to school is because Zhao Miaomiao said yesterday that they would come to say their final goodbyes after Jiuchao came back from school.
So Jiuchao thought, as long as he didn't go to school, didn't go home, and didn't meet her, then she wouldn't be able to say goodbye to him and wouldn't be able to leave.
With this thought in mind, Jiuchao stayed with his friends until after ten o'clock in the evening.
After all his friends left, he wandered around the street alone for a long time and was reluctant to go home.
Zhao Miaomiao stood on the balcony of Jiuchao's house, looking at the road illuminated by street lights downstairs in the community, waiting for a figure to appear.
Waited for a long, long time.
Finally, the man set foot on this road with slow steps.
I've been wandering the streets for a long time, but I can't calm down at all.
He was thinking that as long as he didn't go home and look for Zhao Miaomiao, Zhao Miaomiao would have no way to leave.
At the same time, he was worried that if he didn't go home, Zhao Miaomiao would just disappear?
Doesn't that mean he can't even see her for the last time...
Thinking of this, after a fierce psychological struggle, Jiuchao slowly returned home.
He walked downstairs to his house, and as if he felt something, he suddenly looked up and saw Zhao Miaomiao standing on the balcony, smiling at him.
The night wind blew Zhao Miaomiao's hair, and carried her smile into Jiuchao's heart.
The moment Jiuchao saw Zhao Miaomiao, he was sure.
He can't leave her.
He can't live without her.
No matter what, we must keep her here!
So Jiuchao started running and hurried up the stairs.
He thought, even if it was a substitute, even if he approached him with a purpose, it was fine.
As long as she is by his side, he can accept everything.
Don't go! Don't go!
Please, you have to go...
Jiuchao ran up to the eighth floor in one breath and arrived at the door of his house.
Zhao Miaomiao had already opened the door and was standing there waiting for him.
Jiu Chao looked at Zhao Miaomiao breathlessly and was about to speak, "Xian..."
Zhao Miaomiao stepped forward and slowly hugged Jiuchao.
"You're finally back."
Jiuchao stood there in a daze, not daring to move.
What's going on?
Why does she have a body?
Isn’t Brother Fairy a ghost?
Jiu Chao's heart was beating fast, but even so, he could still feel her body temperature and her heartbeat.
It was as if everything about her was so hot that it instantly burned him, branded him, and melted into him.
Zhao Miaomiao let go of Jiuchao, looked at him, tilted his head and smiled, "You must be scared.
I didn’t expect that I was actually alive.”
Jiuchao looked at Zhao Miaomiao, still not coming to his senses, and said nothing.
Zhao Miaomiao took a step back, thought for a moment and said, “It’s very complicated to explain my affairs.
Just treat it as a story about gods and ghosts.
Ahem, let me introduce myself formally. My name is Zhao Miaomiao and I’m 24 years old.
I died of suicide, but I was already in the advanced stage of stomach cancer when I committed suicide.
I work in the hospital where your mother is hospitalized.
What a coincidence, alas, I don’t know why it is such a coincidence.
At first, I was scared myself, but later I accepted it.
I used to be a doctor. I was quite smart. The papers I wrote won some awards, and the treatment plans I developed are still in use today.
I'm not a bad person, I don't hurt anyone.
yes……"
Zhao Miaomiao was unwilling to tell Jiuchao about the bad things the hospital had done to her, and she still didn't want him to be exposed to the darkness.
Call it spoiling him, she wanted him to always be sunny and happy, and always be carefree.
So Zhao Miaomiao thought about it and said, "Anyway, I'm not a bad person.
I think you should think so too."
Jiu Chao tried to speak, "I..."
But as soon as I made the first sound and said the first word, I felt that my voice was a little blocked, a little hoarse and unpleasant.
So Jiuchao fell silent again and looked at Zhao Miaomiao.
Zhao Miaomiao smiled, looked at Jiuzhao and said, "Okay, I've finished introducing myself.
I have told you everything I can say.
I had something else I wanted to say.
I want to tell you to study hard, take good care of yourself, take life seriously, and if you meet someone you like, be brave...
I have thought of many things like this and want to say them to you.
But now seeing you back and standing here, I suddenly feel like all these words are meaningless."
Jiuchao wanted to ask, why no opinion? What does no opinion mean?
But he looked at Zhao Miaomiao and still didn't say it.
Zhao Miaomiao looked at Jiuzhao and tried to smile. "Okay, don't mind what I say next. You won't remember it anyway."
Zhao Miaomiao paused for a moment, lowered his head, covered his chest, and took a few deep breaths before he raised his head again, looked at Jiuzhao with a smile, and continued, "Number 99, this is the last time I will call you Number 99.
I want you to be happy more than anyone else.
I also think that you will definitely live a happy life.
It is my honor to meet you and to be your host.
That little system that talks nonsense, that irritable little system that keeps asking me to do tasks, that little system that has learned to be a green tea and knows how to play the victim to gain my sympathy, that little system that has been with me through nine worlds...
Little system, let's...end here."
As Zhao Miaomiao spoke, she took two cups from the next table, which contained the potion given by Yuexian.
The potion has no color, just like clear water.
But just drink it and you will forget everything you want to forget.
Zhao Miaomiao handed the cup to Jiu Chao, who looked at it and asked, "What is this?"
Zhao Miaomiao jokingly said, "I said it's the Love Potion, do you believe it?"
Jiu Chao nodded, “I believe it.
I believe everything you say."
Zhao Miaomiao smiled, but as she smiled, she started crying.
She wiped away a falling tear with the back of her hand and handed the water to Jiu Chao, “Take it quickly.
If you hesitate any longer, I will soften my heart again."
Jiuzhao didn't move and asked Zhao Miaomiao: "Do you have to leave?"
Zhao Miaomiao looked up at him and unknowingly dropped another tear.
Jiu Chao said anxiously: "If I say, I don't care anymore.
I don't care that I'm a substitute for something long-term.
I don't care why you stay with me.
I don't care who you were or why you came to me...
I don't care about these anymore.
I will study hard, listen to you, and take life seriously...
Even so, are you still going to leave?"
Zhao Miaomiao smiled and shook her head, "Sorry, 99, I can't stay here forever."
Jiuzhao's eyes gradually lost their luster. He looked at Zhao Miaomiao, then slowly lowered his head and said softly, "Was it decided from the beginning?"
Zhao Miaomiao gritted her teeth and tried to answer: "Yes."
Jiu Chao: "If you leave, will I never find you again?"
Zhao Miaomiao: “Yes.”
Jiu Chao looked up at the glass of water in Zhao Miaomiao's hand and asked, "So, if I drink this glass of water, I will completely forget you and be able to live a normal life?"
Before Zhao Miaomiao could answer, Jiuchao took the water from Zhao Miaomiao's hand and drank it all.
Then he didn't say anything, just looked at Zhao Miaomiao again, one last time, and turned away.
Zhao Miaomiao wanted to call him, "9..."
But no.
The farewell we agreed on.
We agreed to say goodbye.
I can't go on like this...
Can't get tangled up...
Can't break the connection...
This is the end.
Zhao Miaomiao looked at the cup in her hand.
This cup was reserved for herself.
But she looked at it for a long time, and finally didn't drink it. She turned around and poured the water away.
No. 99, there must be someone among us who remembers the past.
Even though Yuexian said that people who live with memories will be very painful, I don’t want to forget.
All this is a beautiful dream to me.
Now that the dream is over, I have to go.
Please forgive my breach of trust and forgive me for not being able to accompany you at this moment.
But life is long and winding. If God favors me and the gods look after me, I will meet you again with my memories.
I hope that in this life, we will meet each other again at the right time, in the right place, and under the right circumstances.
Zhao Miaomiao is gone.
She didn't know that Jiuchao was sitting on the stairs at the corner of the house, not moving.
He wanted to wait and see if Zhao Miaomiao would come out to look for him.
He expected Zhao Miaomiao to call him, chase him out, and slap away the glass of water he was about to drink.
But none of them did.
Zhao Miaomiao disappeared from the room.
I sat alone on the stairs for a long time, in the lonely night.
"Is it true that from tomorrow when I wake up, I will no longer remember you..."
