Chapter 78
After peeling off the black skin on his body and throwing it away, Song Zhou put on the sheepskin again and returned home.
Chen He was still sleeping, and the cordyceps and black chicken soup in the rice cooker was just ready.
Hearing some noise coming from the bedroom, Song Zhou filled a bowl of soup and brought it into the bedroom. Chen He was kicking off the quilt and stretching lazily.
Song Zhou put the bowl on the bedside table and leaned over to touch her hair.
"Did you get enough sleep?"
"Yeah." Chen He had a long and comfortable sleep, and her lazy voice sounded like a cat just waking up.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
"It's okay, I'm back to full health..."
Song Zhou smiled and buried his face in her hair.
Chen He suddenly asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Song Zhou paused: "Nothing."
"I think..." Chen He raised her head and held his face to look at him, "I think you look very tired."
"No, it's just a soup. Come up and try it."
"Well...I'll drink it later. You take a break first."
Chen He pulled him and he fell beside her.
The bedding was soft, the hair smelled sweet, and he felt like he was floating on a cloud.
Suddenly, fatigue emerged from the bones and spread to the fingertips.
Song Zhou put his arm around Chen He's waist, snuggled up to her, closed his eyes and thought silently - I'm really tired.
Changing back, and changing back again, I'm so tired that I want to die.

Cordyceps flower and black chicken soup is fresh and nutritious.
Before he finished drinking the bowl, Chen He's nose was already covered with sweat and his face had become much redder.
"It's delicious." She praised it endlessly, "Hey, why don't you drink it?"
There was also a bowl in front of Song Zhou, but he didn't touch it at all.
"I'm not very hungry. I'll drink later." He leaned against the dining table, playing with his mobile phone and watching short videos absentmindedly.
Suddenly, an exaggerated and rapid electronic voiceover came over: "Family members, shocking news has arrived! A suicide by jumping off a building has turned into a murder case!"
Chen He paused holding the spoon: "What is this?"
"I don't know, I just opened it..." Song Zhou moved the phone closer to her and they looked at it together.
"An insider uploaded a video revealing shocking news that the woman, Yu Moumou, was not driven to death by some 'comic book' and jumped to her death!"
"The video of her last words, crying and saying 'I can't live anymore,' has now been confirmed to have been timed by someone to deliver the lines! Even more terrifying, five minutes after being taken out of the room by the mysterious man, she fell from the rooftop..."
Chen He's eyes widened.
She didn't even bother to drink her soup. She took out her phone and searched, and soon found the original source of the video in the local forum.
She read out the poster's nickname: "Dark and Crawling Little Cockroach... Who is this? Why is there a cockroach name?"
Song Zhou almost laughed out loud, but quickly suppressed his laughter.
Chen He clicked on the shared link in the post and started downloading. The video was very large and the download was too slow. She couldn't wait to buy a membership, which increased the speed.
She stared at the blue progress bar, waiting anxiously.
"Just drink it while you're at it." Song Zhou said.
"Hmm." Chen He agreed, but she didn't even bother to drink the soup.
Song Zhou picked up his untouched bowl and fed her spoonful by spoonful.
The video was finally downloaded. It lasted for several hours, from the moment Yu Aiai entered the room to the moment she was taken away.
The video was shot from above the bed, looking down from above. Apparently, the camera was mounted on the ceiling, possibly hidden in the chandelier.
This limited the shooting range to a single bed.
For most of the first half of the video, Yu Aiai stayed alone in the room.
Sometimes she lay on the bed with her clothes on, sometimes she sat on the edge of the bed, sometimes she looked at her mobile phone for a while, and sometimes she left the bed. The only sound in the video was her footsteps walking back and forth, and she seemed restless.
Chen He fast-forwarded and dragged the progress bar to move this section forward.
Almost four hours later, a knock on the door is heard in the video.
Yu Aiai, who was lying on the bed, jumped up and out of the shooting range.
Her voice came from off-screen: "You're here?"
The camera's sound pickup was clearly poor; it sounded like it was being recorded through a layer of water. The sound of people talking was almost electronic, severely distorted.
The visitor didn't seem to respond, only the sound of a door closing gently was heard.
Yu Aiai's anxious voice came: "You know everything, right? That comic depicts everything I did. What should I do? You can't just ignore me!"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Don't worry, I will definitely help you."
A man's voice came.
"Male God 001" has appeared.
The sound recorded in the video is distorted and out of tune, but you can still make out what is being said.
There was only the empty bed in the picture.
Chen He was extremely anxious. He leaned over to look at the screen of his mobile phone, trying to see the person outside the screen.
Song Zhou said helplessly, "If it wasn't recorded, it wasn't recorded. It's no use turning the phone over."
"Oh..." Chen He reacted, sat up straight, and continued reading.
Song Zhou stuffed a piece of chicken into her mouth: "Don't be impatient, take your time and watch."
"Hmm." Chen He chewed the chicken without blinking.
Finally, a figure appeared on the screen. Yu Aiai sat on the edge of the bed, fear in her voice: "I don't understand, how does she know everything? It's really weird!"
"What could she know? She just guessed right." The man's tone was calm and gentle.
Yu Aiai twisted her hair nervously: "What if the police come to arrest me?"
"How could the police arrest someone based on nothing but a fictional cartoon?"
"But... that's not fiction, I was the one who pushed her off the cliff!" Yu Aiai's voice was filled with tears.
"Look at yourself, you're so scared. Can't you just deny it? By the way, where is the phone I gave you?" the man asked.
"Here it is." Yu Aiai reached over to her handbag, pulled out a cell phone, and handed it to the screen. She pouted and said, "You won't let me use my own phone to call you, but you have to use this. Is it really necessary to be so cautious?"
The man outside the screen took over: "Be careful, baby."
