The next second, Shi Xi felt as if she had fallen into the sea, her whole body immersed in water.
He opened his eyes and found himself inside a glass display case, completely naked.
Kang Yi, dressed in a white lab coat, stood in front of the lab bench, holding a glass test tube in his hand, humming an unknown tune, and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Is it Li Ci?" Shi Xi asked.
[No] The fennec fox shook its head.
Then there's no need to be polite.
\"Whoosh...\"
Tang Jue heard the sound of water behind him and immediately turned around, but found nothing unusual.
He suspected he had misheard, because he was the only one in the lab; there was no one else there.
He turned his head and continued his experiment.
However, the sound of water started again the next second, and at the same time, the indoor lights began to flicker. He instinctively spoke up—
\"who?\"
"Come out now, stop playing tricks!"
Kang Yi's gaze swept around the laboratory, and for some reason, the laboratory, which was at a comfortable temperature, suddenly felt cold.
"Looking for me?" Shi Xi asked. "I'm right behind you."
Kang Yi turned around and saw that there was no one behind him.
He turned his head again, and the next second, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Ahhh!"
Before Kang Yi could even see who it was, he was struck head-on.
It hurt so much I saw stars.
He stood up, trying to see the other person's face clearly, but was kicked twice more.
The movements were swift and merciless.
'Thump—'
Kang Yi immediately knelt down on the ground.
Only then did he realize that the person he hit was Yu Jiu'an!
Kang Yi froze for two seconds, then a look of wild joy spread across her face, which she had been covering with her hands. Her eyes burned as she stared at him, muttering to herself repeatedly:
"Hahaha, he's alive! It's a success! It's a success..."
Shi Xi only thought for a second before understanding the meaning behind Kang Yi's unusual behavior.
Shi Xi chuckled.
"Stop dreaming." Shi Xi turned around and went straight to the lounge. There were no towels in the room, so he didn't bother to dry himself off. He just grabbed a white coat and Crocs and put them on.
"..." Kang Yi frowned when he noticed Shi Xi's familiarity with the place.
I couldn't help but wonder.
How come he acts so naturally, like he's at home?
Shi Xi said, "I'm not dead at all."
\"impossible!\"
Kang Yi didn't believe Shi Xi's words at all. Instead, he stood up and rushed to the experimental table to activate the defense system. He believed that as long as he captured Shi Xi, he could research the way to immortality!
But Shi Xi beat her to it.
"Immortality?" Shi Xi shrugged, took two steps forward, and blocked the experimental table. "Tsk."
"Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe that, how could you actually believe it?"
As he spoke, he raised his leg and kicked Kang Yi in the head.
'Bang--'
Kang Yi was thrown to the ground and lost consciousness.
"Cold medicine, alert!" Shi Xi said to her system.
[Okay] The fox-like passage in my mind.
Shi Xi walked to the experimental table, and following the system's prompts, found the zombie virus on the test tube rack and destroyed it.
[Beep—Change detected in the small world's background; the story is automatically updating...]
Although the world setting has changed, Si Beiling and Song Guizhou remain the protagonists of this small world, and their relationship will continue to develop.
Just then, Shi Xi heard a series of hurried footsteps.
He had just walked over when the laboratory door was opened from the outside.
"Brother Xiao An."
Song Guizhou was stunned, seemingly not expecting to see Shi Xi as soon as he opened the door, especially since Shi Xi was only wearing a white coat.
Si Beiling's gaze followed the curves outlined by the white fabric clinging to her skin, lingering for two seconds on her slender waist and the pert curve of the hem of her clothes.
Tang Jue immediately lowered his eyes, but those two long, slender, and fair legs left a deep impression on him.
"You're all here." Shi Xi greeted the three of them. "There's another one lying on the ground; I don't recognize him."
Only then did everyone notice Kang Yi lying unconscious on the ground.
"He was like this when I woke up. He was probably tired, so he fell asleep," Shi Xi said without changing her expression. "Scientists have a tough job."
He knew that this reason was too flimsy, but he couldn't tell them: "Look, I just got it."
The idea that a person in a vegetative state could immediately beat up Frankenstein's monster upon waking up sounds absurd. :)
It's enough that he knows the truth himself.
Anyway, Kang Yi's back is to them right now, so they can't see his face. They can just leave before the police arrive.
The reason Ganmaoling reported to the police was that Kangyi was conducting illegal human research. With this room full of experimental subjects of unknown origin, he would never be able to get out of jail for the rest of his life.
After Shi Xi finished speaking, she looked at the three of them, but found that none of them seemed to want to delve into the matter further.
"Did I sleep for a long time?" Shi Xi asked, as if she had just noticed Song Guizhou's change.
Song Guizhou didn't care about Kang Yi's life or death. He composed himself, slowly walked to Shi Xi's side, took off his coat, and put it on Shi Xi.
"It's alright, it wasn't for long," he said, looking down at Shi Xi.
"It feels weird here, shall we go out?" Shi Xi looked at Si Beiling and suggested.
Si Beiling looked at him and said, "Hmm."
...
The group left the laboratory, and before they had gone far, armed police officers stormed into the laboratory.
Song Guizhou glanced at Si Beiling and asked with his eyes.
"Did you call the police?"
Si Beiling shook his head.
He did not call the police.
He and Song Guizhou met Tang Jue on the way. They rushed over, only thinking about saving people, and neither of them thought of calling the police.
At that moment, the same question simultaneously popped into the minds of all three of them—
Who called the police?
It was still before the school holiday, and there were quite a few people on the S University campus.
Some students who knew Song Guizhou came to say hello.
Shi Xi smiled and patted Song Guizhou on the shoulder, "Not bad, you've really become a student of S University."
"What year are you in?"
"You're a third-year graduate student, almost graduating," Song Guizhou said, looking at Shi Xi.
"By the way, your file is still at the school. Do you want to go back?" Tang Jue glanced at Shi Xi and suddenly asked.
"Still there?" Shi Xi looked surprised upon hearing this.
Tang Jue glanced at Si Beiling, then nodded and said, "He's still here."
When Shi Xi applied for a leave of absence, she was almost about to graduate; to put it bluntly, she was just waiting for the school to issue her graduation certificate.
"Am I here to go to school?" Shi Xi couldn't help but mentally complain to the cold medicine.
The fennec fox shrugged, "There's nothing we can do; the altered plot is indeed like this."
[Once you graduate successfully, the mission in this small world will be successfully completed.]
Shi Xi narrowed her eyes. "Cold Remedy, you're not hiding something from me, are you?"
"How could that be?" The fennec fox denied in a series of statements.
[Am I that kind of system? My dear Shi Xi, you don't believe me?!]
"I believe you," Shi Xi said. "I was just asking casually."
...
After pondering for a moment, Shi Xi finally decided to return to school.
After all, the mission is more important.
"Brother Tang, are you still a counselor?" Shi Xi asked curiously.
Logically speaking, Tang Jue was Professor Zhang's prized student and a graduate student, so he was more than qualified to be a lecturer at the university.
But judging from what he just said, it doesn't seem to be like that.
"Hmm." Tang Jue looked at Shi Xi.
"I enjoy interacting with students."
Shi Xi: "..." I really couldn't tell.
He glanced at Tang Jue, finding it hard to imagine someone like him mingling with students.
"Where is Brother Xiao An going?" Song Guizhou couldn't help but ask as Shi Xi was about to leave S University.
"Going home." Shi Xi pointed to herself and said casually, "It's chilly down there, and I don't feel comfortable."
"Stay put at school."
"No." Song Guizhou slowly relaxed his clenched fist at his side, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm not busy lately, so I can go back with you, Brother Xiao An."
Upon hearing Shi Xi's words, Tang Jue coughed lightly, his expression somewhat unnatural, and the tips of his ears, hidden beneath his hair, instantly turned bright red.
"Then, Brother Tang, we'll be going now." Shi Xi pointed to herself and Song Guizhou.
"I'll take you back," Si Beiling said.
"Did you drive here?" Shi Xi glanced at Si Beiling.
"Hmm." Si Beiling.
...
When the vehicle entered the community, the security guard just glanced at it and let them in.
Yu Jiu'an's home is in an old residential area without a parking lot, so he can only park his car downstairs.
The security guard usually doesn't let outside vehicles into the community, but when he saw Si Beiling, he took the initiative to greet him and then opened the gate.
"Mr. Si is back."
Si Beiling nodded slightly.
Seeing the gatekeeper's attitude, Shi Xi knew that Si Beiling had been coming here quite often.
Song Guizhou was texting Yu's father with his head down when he heard the gatekeeper's greeting. He closed the chat interface and snorted coldly.
"He said he was seeing someone off, but anyone who didn't know better would think Mr. Si was going home."
"You could say that, I own property here," Si Beiling said casually. "Not much, just one building."
Shi Xi: "..."6, Rich Brother.
Seeing that Song Guizhou was about to speak, Shi Xi opened the car door, "You two continue talking, I'll get in first."
...
Song Guizhou opened the door, and Shi Xi stood in the doorway looking at the familiar layout before her—
The room was almost exactly the same as when he left, with no changes whatsoever, as if he had simply taken a nap and then woken up to return to his own home... Hearing the door open, Mr. Yu came out of the kitchen.
Shi Xi looked at him and said, "Father, I'm back."
This is not the end of the world; Yu's father is still alive and well.
Mr. Yu smiled kindly at him, "You're back just in time. Wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
If you look closely, you can see that his eyes are a little red, as if he has just been crying.
After finishing his sentence, Mr. Yu went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
Si Beiling noticed that Shi Xi was looking at Yu's father, but he assumed that Shi Xi had not seen her father for a long time and did not think much of it.
Shi Xi noticed Si Beiling's gaze, turned to look at him, and asked, "Want to stay for dinner?"
After all, Si Beiling brought him back, and it's mealtime now, so they can't just let him leave.
Song Guizhou looked at Si Beiling, who nodded. "Okay."
Song Guizhou snorted coldly in his heart.
Didn't you say you were giving it away? Why did you stay for dinner?
You own a building, why would you be short of a meal?
After finishing her meal, Shi Xi was about to see Si Beiling downstairs.
Si Beiling waved his hand, "No need."
He walked out the door, then took out a key and, in front of the two of them, opened the door to the house opposite Shi Xi's. Smiling, he said to Shi Xi, "I live here."
Song Guizhou gritted his teeth inwardly, slammed the door shut, and said, "Then I won't see you out."
move place.
Move now, immediately, right now!
...
A week later, Shi Xi enrolled and returned to the university.
Tang Jue arranged for him to stay in the same dormitory as before.
"Besides you, there's another student in the dorm who's about to graduate, but he's currently participating in a social practice program, so he doesn't stay here much."
There were originally two students in this dormitory, but one of them came from a better family and moved out early.
"Stay in the dormitory?" Song Guizhou looked at Shi Xi, seemingly disapproving, but fearing Shi Xi's anger, he asked softly, "Doesn't Brother Xiao An live at home?"
"...Anyway, I'm graduating soon, moving around is too much trouble..."
"It's more convenient to stay in the dormitory. I need to do my graduation defense and take graduation photos later." Tang Jue said, stopping in his tracks and then knocking twice on the dormitory door.
Seemingly convinced, Song Guizhou did not speak again.
The next second, the door opened, revealing a familiar face.
Xue Yushang frowned and looked at Tang Jue, "Counselor, is something the matter?"
Seemingly surprised to see him in the dorm, Tang Jue paused for a moment before introducing him: "This is your new roommate, Yu Jiu'an."
Xue and Shang stood behind the door, looking at Shi Xi, who was wearing clothes of an unknown brand but obviously very expensive.
He stood behind Tang Jue, his face pale and sickly, with a striking beauty mark under his eye.
"Xue Yushang." Xue Yushang calmly introduced himself.
"Hello." Shi Xi nodded to him.
After exchanging greetings, Xue and Shang sat back down at their desks, and the three of them went inside.
"I've sent you the thesis proposal. If there's anything you don't understand, just come to me," Tang Jueshi said.
Then his gaze fell on Song Guizhou, who had made the bed for Shi Xi.
"We should leave now."
Song Guizhou placed a soft cushion on the chair, then hugged Shi Xi, reluctantly rubbing his face against Shi Xi's neck, "Brother Xiao An, I'll be going now."
"Let's go, you're in the school next door." Shi Xi raised her hand and patted his back.
"……"
Xue Yushang, who was reading at his desk, saw this scene and looked up at the expression on Shi Xi's face.
Not lovers...
He came to a conclusion in his mind.
Shi Xi noticed his gaze, but when she looked over, she found that he was reading a book and didn't seem to care about their commotion.
After Tang Jue and Song Guizhou left, Xue Yushang put down the book in his hand and his gaze fell on Shi Xi.
He leaned back in his chair, sitting in front of the computer, his long, slender fingers tapping the keyboard idly.
He overheard Tang Jue and Song Guizhou's conversation outside the door and guessed that they had probably taken a break and were returning to school.
"?" Shi Xi looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Are you cured?"
For some inexplicable reason, Xue Yushang asked the question without even knowing why.
"Okay," Shi Xi said.
In the altered storyline, he unexpectedly benefited from the misfortune and was no longer weak after waking up.
Shi Xi gestured to show off her muscles, "I could easily carry someone with one hand."
"...Hmm." Xue Yushang said.
