Chapter 83: Good night, my Chenchen...
The hospital didn't need too many people to accompany the patient, so Chen Xingxu volunteered to stay.
Lu Chiyuan and Jiang Chen planned to rest for a night and go back tomorrow after checking on Lu Mingxuan's condition.
The two of them booked a hotel nearby, and Jiang Chen received a call from Jiang Yu just after he checked in.
"Well...are you going back tomorrow? If not, come to my house for a quick meal. Your sister-in-law hasn't seen you for a long time."
Jiang Yu's wife is a senior from the same university as Jiang Chen. She is a warm and outgoing person. Knowing that Jiang Chen was coming here, she naturally wanted to do her best to be a good host.
Jiang Chen looked at Lu Chiyuan who was taking off his clothes and preparing to go to the bathroom, and smiled and said, "No, we won't come this time because we have plans. Please tell my sister-in-law for me that we will definitely come next time."
Eating means close contact, and Jiang Chen doesn't have the confidence that he can lie in front of the two policemen without being exposed. The world is unstable now, so it's better not to involve them in a deeper story.
Jiang Yu knew that he was not being falsely polite, so he did not insist on treating him. The two brothers exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up the phone.
Jiang Chen put away his phone, walked up to Lu Chiyuan, touched his naked waist, hooked the edge of the bath towel wrapped around his lower body, and put his fingertips on his skin.
"Have you met my elder brother before?" Jiang Chen tiptoed forward, pressed against Lu Chiyuan's feet, blocking his way to the bathroom.
Lu Chiyuan asked: "Why do you ask this?"
"You call him Big Brother, it's quite natural."
Jiang Yu now is a completely unfamiliar existence to Lu Chiyuan, but today in the hospital, he did not behave as if he met a stranger at all.
Lu Chiyuan hugged Jiang Chen and said, "We are in love, can't I call you brother?"
Lu Chiyuan and Jiang Chen's relationship progressed very quickly, and they met their parents at a rocket-like speed.
This statement does sound correct at first glance, but Jiang Chen still feels like he's missing something.
He was distracted thinking, but Lu Chiyuan didn't follow martial ethics and leaned close to his ear and said, "Do you want to take a shower together?"
Lu Chiyuan was shirtless. He had been doing fitness exercises for many years, so his muscles were just right and not overly exaggerated.
Before Jiang Chen recovered his memory, he had been secretly coveting his body, but now he was looking at it openly and touching it at the same time.
He opened his arms and said coquettishly, "Carry me."
Lu Chiyuan raised his lips slightly: "Glad to serve."
An hour later, Jiang Chen collapsed on the bed, his arms and legs spread out, his body in a big letter shape, occupying the center of the bed.
Lu Chiyuan was drying his hair. He patted Jiang Chen's calf and said, "Get up. I'll blow dry your hair."
Jiang Chen glanced in his direction, curled his lips and said, "I can't get up. I'm sleepy."
Seeing that he was playing tricks, Lu Chiyuan smiled helplessly and brought a towel and a hair dryer. He sat on the bed, picked up Jiang Chen, and let his upper body rest on his thighs.
Jiang Chen said that he didn't want to move, but his body still cooperated with Lu Chiyuan honestly. He looked up at Lu Chiyuan, and the airflow from the hair dryer fell on his head, gently and soothingly.
His already tired body only felt that the wind above his head was so comfortable. His eyelids were fighting each other and he felt a little sleepy, but he didn't want to sleep yet.
He tried hard to open his eyes, his gaze still on Lu Chiyuan, but his consciousness was wandering somewhere else.
In a daze, he felt the wind above his head stop, and someone's fingers passed through his hair and landed on his head.
He no longer wanted to keep his eyes open. The familiar breath made him feel safe. He turned over and hugged Lu Chiyuan's waist.
He felt sleepy and wanted to take a nap.
Lu Chiyuan put down the hair dryer and lowered his head to play with Jiang Chen's hair. When Jiang Chen's hair was long, it was slightly curly, soft and smooth; when it was cut short, it looked stiff and a little prickly.
Lu Chiyuan missed him a little bit when his hair was a little longer, non-aggressive and harmless to humans and animals.
Jiang Chen was confused at that time, not knowing what was going on. He was muttering dirty words in his mind. He liked him undisguisedly, but he restrained himself and kept his distance.
Now that Jiang Chen remembered it, the dirty words in his heart were on his lips, and he naturally stuck to him. Knowing that he was in a bad mood, he would coax him in return.
Whether in the past or now, he could clearly feel that he was loved by Jiang Chen.
The warmth flows in the heart and seeps into every part of the body, making people feel happy.
"Good night, my Chenchen."
The new doctor Xu Chen found for Lu Mingxuan was well-versed in toxicology. He drove over overnight to give Lu Mingxuan a full-body examination to make sure that Lu Mingxuan was not simply in a coma.
"This is a new drug over there. It hasn't been tested on anyone yet, so the efficacy is very uncertain. It's obvious that the people who kidnapped him are testing the drug on him."
Inside the ward, the doctor told the three people the truth without any reservation. He was very interested in the Gu family's medicine, and his eyes lit up when he spoke, as if the person lying in front of him was not a person, but the experimental subject he had been looking for with great difficulty.
Chen Xingxu had been guarding Lu Mingxuan for a whole night, and was the first to lose control and asked, "Can you cure it?"
The doctor did not answer him, but looked at Lu Chiyuan. He already knew Lu Mingxuan's identity before he came. Since he had promised Xu Chen, he would definitely treat him, but before that, he had his own conditions.
"He is your personal assistant and should be very special to you. Before you save him, I want you to do something for me."
Lu Chiyuan asked directly: "What do you want?"
The doctor pushed his glasses up on his nose and said, "If the Gu family negotiates with you, I want you to agree and get their antidote."
"It's been a day and a night since he got into trouble, and the Gu family hasn't contacted me."
"Maybe they're waiting for you to contact them first."
The doctor did not give up his idea. He knew the Gu family's operating model. Before the overseas production line was rolled out, the Gu family would not just randomly find someone to test the drug.
Since the Gu family has taken this thing out, they must also need data.
The doctor looked around the ward, as if trying to find some clues related to the Gu family.
Jiang Chen looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
[Qiuqiu, why is this story taking such a strange turn now? ]
There is no such plot in the fan fiction. The description of Gu family's medicine in the fan fiction only appears when the vicious female supporting role needs medicine to frame Shen Zhiyi.
Those medicines are extremely strange. Men become erect after taking them, but women become weak, as if all problems will be solved after a good sleep.
But in fact, the effect of those medicines might be like Lu Chiyuan's. Not only did he lose all his memory the next day after taking the Chinese medicine, he also needed to have an IV drip.
Or for someone like Lu Mingxuan, the drug is extremely destructive to the body, and the entertainment of fan fiction cannot hide the fact that it is a banned substance.
Snowball was very calm and said: [The two worlds are competing with each other, and the subsequent plots will be integrated. The current plot is connected with the original world. ]
[In the original novel, Jiang Yu was responsible for supervising a case of illegal drugs, and finally found the Gu family, which was also one of the evidences of the Gu family's downfall. However, the victim in the original world was not Lu Mingxuan, but you. ]
Xueqiu gave Jiang Chen a spoiler of the plot. With Lu Mingxuan being kidnapped and Jiang Yu joining the game, the two worlds overlapped. The fragmented plot began to take shape at this point.
Jiang Chen remembered that there was such an incident. When he and Lu Chiyuan got engaged, Jiang Yu did not come, but his sister-in-law attended with the children.
Jiang Chen also asked at that time, and his sister-in-law said that he was following a case of illegal drugs. The informant provided the transaction location and he could not get away.
Before Jiang Chen was isolated by the world consciousness, this matter had not yet been settled. He felt familiar with it, which was also influenced by the original world.
The abuse of drugs poses a huge safety hazard. Jiang Chen finds it strange. It is a collision between entertainment and seriousness. In the fan world, drugs are used as aphrodisiacs, but in the real world, these drugs can cause considerable harm to the human body.
The emergence of doctors is somewhere in between the two. Their role is not to save lives in the traditional sense, but rather a mysterious existence with a special touch.
Facing Lu Chiyuan's silence, the doctor did not rush to ask for an answer, but gave Lu Chiyuan enough time to think about it. When he felt that the time was about right, he continued, "What do you think, Mr. Lu?"
There was a cold light in the doctor's eyes behind his glasses, and he looked like he was sure of victory.
Lu Chiyuan glanced at Jiang Chen and did not fall into this trap.
He said, "If you can save Lu Mingxuan, you can make an antidote. Why do you want the antidote from the Gu family? Or are you not sure you can save Lu Mingxuan?"
Faced with the doubt, the doctor immediately retorted: "Nonsense! I am much better than those people! Isn't it just saving people? I have three ways to save his body without hurting him."
Jiang Chen complimented, "So you are so amazing! But words are not enough."
Jiang Chen's excitement quickly cooled, as if he thought the words were a bit exaggerated. His eyes revealed a signal of distrust, as if he was doubting the doctor's professional ethics.
He and Lu Chiyuan sang the same tune, arousing the doctor's rebellious psychology. He said: "I can save people right now, just wait for me."
Before he finished speaking, he had already walked towards the door, as if he was eager to prove his medical skills.
Since Xu Chen invited him here, he would naturally help him arrange his identity. The doctors here would cooperate with his treatment, and he could get whatever he needed.
He opened the door of the ward and just as he stepped out, he suddenly retracted his foot as if he remembered something and turned back to look at Lu Chiyuan and Jiang Chen.
He pushed his glasses and said, "No, you two are playing tricks on me! If I cure him and you don't help me get the antidote, wouldn't I be at a loss?"
Jiang Chen secretly stuck out his tongue: [This guy is not too stupid, he can't be fooled. ]
His eyes rolled, and a plan came to his mind. He said, "You can't say that. In fact, if you cure Lu Mingxuan first, it will be easier for us to get the antidote."
The doctor said, "If I help you cure people, they won't have any leverage to threaten you, so how could they possibly make a deal with you?"
"You said it was a threat. If I were a member of the Gu family, I would have the upper hand. Why would I make a deal with you? I would definitely strive for my own interests because you are the one who needs me."
Jiang Chen analyzed in an orderly manner: "But if Lu Mingxuan wakes up, and the Gu family goes through so much trouble but fails to achieve their goal, then the initiative will be transferred to us. We will have more bargaining chips then, right?"
The doctor's goal was to get the antidote. What Jiang Chen said was too confusing for him, and he didn't care about the negotiations between the two parties.
He promised Xu Chen to save someone, so he couldn't go back on his word. However, he was unwilling to compromise like this, so he threatened: "I just want the antidote, and how to get it is up to you. If you go back on your word, I can save him or let him continue to lie in bed."
The doctor went out to arrange for treatment after he finished speaking.
Chen Xingxu smacked his lips and said, "Wasn't he invited by Xu Chen to help? Why does he have so many requirements?"
Jiang Chen spread his hands, he didn't know either, and he was also confused.
Snowball said: [This guy was also a pharmacist hired by the Gu family before, but he was forced out because he disagreed with the Gu family's philosophy. He insisted on getting the antidote, just to find out who was better, himself or the group of people hired by the Gu family. He didn't have any bad intentions, he just wanted to compete with each other. ]
Jiang Chen: […So childish.]
The doctor dared to make such a request, so he must be quite capable. Under his treatment, Lu Mingxuan gradually woke up in just one morning.
In the first few minutes after he regained consciousness, he was at a loss about his situation. Looking at the people surrounding the bed, his brows were furrowed. When his eyes fell on Lu Chiyuan, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Chen Xingxu waved his hand in front of his eyes and said, "Hey, you're not stupid, are you?"
The doctor sensed the doubt and came over to examine Lu Mingxuan again with dissatisfaction, and raised his chin slightly: "He is not stupid, he is fine!"
As if to agree with the doctor's words, Lu Mingxuan slapped Chen Xingxu's hand away, his eyes moving between Jiang Chen and Lu Chiyuan with a strange look on his face.
Jiang Chen took out his phone and took a safe photo of him, and sent it to Xu Chen, with the caption: [Everything is fine.]
Lu Chiyuan asked with concern what happened. Lu Mingxuan's pale lips were tightly closed. He looked at Lu Chiyuan's face and was distracted unconsciously.
[Ding Dong, warm reminder, the key character Lu Mingxuan has rewritten the death ending, and the plot is out of context. ]
The notification sound of Snowball suddenly rang in his mind. Jiang Chen, who was holding the phone to send a message to Xu Chen, was stunned and looked up at Lu Mingxuan.
Lu Chiyuan's eyes dimmed, and he vaguely guessed the reason why Lu Mingxuan was acting abnormally at the moment.
Does being out of the plot mean that he has now remembered everything that happened in the past? Has he returned to the original trajectory?
[Isn't Lu Mingxuan's death date a long time in the future?] Jiang Chen asked.
Xueqiu said: [The normal plot is after Shen Zhiyi finishes college, but the plot of Shen Zhiyi going to college is gone, so the story line is naturally advancing by leaps and bounds. ]
Jiang Chen's heart sank and he turned to look at Lu Chiyuan.
Lu Mingxuan’s death date has been brought forward, what about Lu Chiyuan?
Will he...
Jiang Chen's fingers trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to think further.
