When Ruan Chen is immersed in data and calculations, he quickly enters a state of complete focus.
Although she hadn't slept soundly during her long afternoon nap, her complexion was noticeably better. She casually tied up her long hair with a pen that had been empty, sat down at the control panel, and methodically calibrated the data, her eyes and brows showing complete focus and seriousness.
She didn't even know when Bai Jiaojiao and the others went back. She vaguely remembered that they said goodbye to her before they left and prepared a late-night snack for her in the lounge, but Ruan Chen didn't have time to eat it.
She sighed with satisfaction and got up after filling in the last verified data into the system and pressing the start button.
Then everything went black for a moment, and I almost bumped my head on the table.
Hunger struck at that moment, and her stomach churned. She headed towards the lounge; it was time to eat something.
Just then, the sky outside was bright and the glow of the sunset was magnificent. Ruan Chen took out a sandwich that had been microwaved for a minute and a half and was still slightly hot. She slowly made herself a cup of hand-drip coffee in a good mood and felt that this was the most relaxed and pleasant moment she had experienced in the past few days.
This was the only thing she had accomplished smoothly in the past few days.
Ruan Chen thought to herself, "If only I could spend my whole life focused on the control panel and the data, dealing with these inanimate numbers and instruments would be the simplest thing in the world."
She didn't even feel tired; in fact, she was quite excited. After eating and drinking her fill, she stretched and decided to go for a run around the industrial park.
This industrial park is considered to be the area with the best environment in Jingzhou.
Of course, the rent is also the lowest.
The sun felt warm on her skin as Ruan Chen strolled leisurely around the industrial park, her phone vibrating merrily in her pocket.
It is a thin year.
Ruan Chen hovered his thumb above the answer button, and after a moment pressed it down hard.
For some reason, she instinctively felt that this was good news.
"Ruan Chen".
On the other end of the phone was Bo Nian's hoarse voice, calling Ruan Chen's name.
Standing in the sunlight, Ruan Chen answered softly, "I'm here."
Suddenly, Bo Nian burst into tears. Through his tears, he whispered, "Ruan Chen, it feels like I had a very long nightmare..."
“I know, I understand,” Ruan Chen’s voice came through the microphone, soft yet firm, “It’s all in the past, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it’s all in the past,” Bo Nian asked. “Can you come see me? I want to see you. I wanted to go to school today, but the doctor said I need to be observed…”
Seeing that Ruan Chen did not answer immediately, the boy's voice suddenly lowered, as if he remembered something, "It's okay, I know you must be quite busy, it's alright if it's inconvenient."
Ruan Chen was bending over to straighten her shoelaces and had put her phone aside, so she didn't have time to answer immediately. Now that she had straightened up, she quickly said, "I'm free."
She also wanted to know how the doctor solved the problem of thinning.
She walked towards the main road outside the industrial park, intending to flag down a car and call Lin Fengzi, "Bo Nian is alright now, did you know?"
Her voice was so cheerful it almost seemed to fly.
Lin Fengzi was sitting in front of an instrument, surrounded by several people—including Marshal Lin and his father.
They had just been arguing fiercely—although Grandpa Lin thought it was just a conversation, they both fell silent when Lin Fengzi answered the phone.
“I know,” he said, his voice tinged with laughter, “Are you happy now? Not so depressed anymore? Will you be able to sleep tonight?”
Ruan Chen recalled her appearance yesterday and felt a rare bit embarrassed. She coughed twice to cover her embarrassment, "How did you do that? I knew it must have been you!"
Lin Fengzi smiled and said, "I'm a medical student, and I've won the national scholarship for two years in a row. My supervisor has a research project on mind control, psychological trauma, and psychological repair for victims. There are several drugs that are in phase III clinical trials. I applied to have them tested on Bo Nian, which can also help improve the data for the research project."
Ruan Chen wanted to express her gratitude, but Lin Fengzi seemed to have something urgent to attend to. "Alright, we'll talk later. I have something to do right now. You should go check on your friend, R."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Fengzi reached into the machine.
The blue lights lit up one by one, one, two, three... After the fourth blue light lit up, it flashed a few times and then went out. Then the other lights also disappeared along with the first one.
Lin Fengzi adjusted her breathing rhythm and tried again.
Only two lights lit up this time, and then they all went out.
He's just an ordinary person now.
Five hours ago, his mental network was torn to shreds in the vortex deep within Bo Nian's consciousness. It seemed that some seed was planted in the depths of Bo Nian's consciousness in that vortex, and the roots that grew made it impossible for him to gather his mental network again.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, as if comforting his father and grandfather, or perhaps himself, his tone deliberately nonchalant, "It doesn't matter, I'm not the kind of genius who relies on mental strength anyway. I got into medical school through the proper entrance exam, not because I was admitted based on exceptional mental strength—at least I saved a life, I truly deserve to be called a medical student."
He spoke in a deliberately understated tone, but in reality, it was not such a simple matter at all.
He was previously at level six, not a particularly outstanding genius, but still a rare talent. Coupled with his innate intelligence and diligence, many knowledge systems that others found incredibly difficult were not too challenging for him.
After losing his mental power, things that he could master in three hours before might take ten hours or even longer.
He could no longer control many of the sophisticated medical instruments, and the grand future he once envisioned had all become bubbles and illusions.
Lin's father was furious and wanted to scold his son for risking his life so recklessly, but he swallowed the words back—he knew that his son seemed carefree, but he must be feeling worse than anyone else right now.
Grandpa Lin sighed heavily. "It's too late to say anything more. Fengzi, I've said I wouldn't interfere with your life's path, and that's still true now."
"Grandpa is the best." Lin Fengzi looked at her father with a proud expression.
“But,” Old Master Lin coughed heavily twice, “you also have to promise me that you will stay away from Ruan Chen in the future.”
Lin Fengzi was taken aback and didn't understand.
"I didn't look at what you gave me last time, but that doesn't mean I don't know the truth," Old Master Lin said meaningfully. "I'm just old, not stupid. I know you're soft-hearted, and you've covered up the truth for her—the one who lost control in the US was Ruan Chen!"
