Failing at a critical moment
Guan Shanyue's consciousness was vaguely clear. She felt as if she was trapped in soft marshmallows, gently wrapped up, and had lost her connection with the world.
The world was quiet, but one could hear the familiar electronic voice of the system. For some reason, it sounded a little panicked: "Calling the superiors, calling the superiors, the communication between the host and Shao Zizhuo is contrary to the plot, the plot has deviated."
"The second activation of the abuse point failed. Please give instructions from the superior."
Guan Shanyue's consciousness drifted over and he heard more clearly.
The system's voice continued to sound: "According to the plot of the original book, the second sad moment is that the hero knows Bai Yueguang is not kidnapped and gives up rescuing her. The heroine is tortured by the kidnappers and almost dies, but with her last breath she struggles to escape and faints at the hero's apartment door. The hero calls 120 to send the heroine to the hospital, but he himself does not show up."
Another unfamiliar system voice sounded: "In the current plot, Shao Zizhuo gave up everything for the host, appeared in front of her with money, and then took the host back to the hospital, guarding her day and night, right?"
The system's voice was inexplicably dejected: "Yes."
The unfamiliar system voice asked in confusion, "Then modify the host's memory, making her believe that Shao Zizhuo didn't recognize her and gave up everything for Yuan Wangshu. Wouldn't that create a sad ending?"
The system seemed to be confused: "But you can't modify the host's memory. This is illegal."
"Just selectively erase it. Make sure the host follows the plot. Everything should serve the plot."
Guan Shanyue twisted her body unbearably, and two systems issued alarms in panic: "Who's there?"
Guan Shanyue floated over: "I don't want my memory to be erased, I don't want it!"
"Not erasing the memory? But the sad part hasn't been activated, so the plot can't continue. When the host wakes up, he'll experience a strong electric shock, a life worse than death. Are you sure?"
Guan Shanyue was of course unwilling to do so. "Is there no other way?" she offered her own suggestion. "For example, should we report this to a higher-level authority?"
"No."
The surging tide rushed towards her, and the strong feeling of suffocation oppressed Guan Shanyue. She screamed and sat up suddenly: "I don't want it!"
Shao Zizhuo rushed over in a hurry, his legs banging loudly on the corner of the table. He ran to the bed, stopped restrainedly, and asked softly, "How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Guan Shanyue breathed rapidly, gradually emerging from the psychedelic dream. She looked around, the cold white walls coming into view, the smell of disinfectant filling her nostrils. "Where is this?"
Shao Zizhuo patted her back gently: "Hospital. You've been in a coma for a long time."
Guan Shanyue's mind seemed to be clouded by something, and she felt as if something was missing. She covered her head and asked, "I think I forgot something?"
Shao Zizhuo's heart sank for a moment. This was also something he had expected: "Do you know who you are? Do you know who I am?"
Guan Shanyue curled her lips helplessly: "Of course I remember, but I seem to remember some of the things that happened after I was kidnapped, and some of them I have forgotten."
Shao Zizhuo breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the button to call the doctor, and handed her a glass of water: "Let's talk when the doctor comes."
The doctor quickly entered the ward. Several doctors worked together to examine her. They called Shao Zizhuo out, laid out all the test results before him, and gave him the verdict: "Miss Guan is healthy. Her current amnesia symptoms are not severe. It can be diagnosed as post-traumatic selective amnesia, which will not have any impact on her daily life."
"Just be careful not to stimulate her again in the near future."
Shao Zizhuo nodded: "Okay, thank you doctor."
In the ward.
Lin Fu leaned against the door, observing Guan Shanyue silently.
She sat quietly on the bed, hugging her knees, covering her forehead in deep thought. She hadn't eaten for a long time, and a thin layer of pale skin had formed on her lips. She seemed to have lost weight since the last time I saw her. She was wrapped in a hospital gown, looking fragile and pale.
Another person flashed through his mind, a face that was stubborn and trying to hold back tears.
No wonder, no wonder everyone admits their mistakes.
Lin Fu murmured to himself: "It really looks like it."
Although Shao Zizhuo had confessed his inner feelings, Lin Fu really began to doubt at this moment whether his silly brother really loved Yuan Wangshu without knowing it and found a substitute to instill his emotions into her?
Guan Shanyue heard the noise and looked up. There was a stranger standing at the door. She frowned and asked, "Who are you?" But then she realized she was being a little rude and added, "Sorry, I may have forgotten something. Do I know you?"
Lin Fu walked to her bedside and handed her the water Shao Zizhuo had just poured: "This is the first time we meet."
Guan Shanyue's body gradually regained consciousness, and she felt hungry and thirsty, so she drank a whole glass of water.
Suddenly, she felt a headache and covered her head unbearably, as if something was faintly emerging.
With a wet face, in a narrow room filled with tobacco smoke, "Yuan Wangshu is in our hands, you bring money to rescue her"...
She seemed to remember!
Guan Shanyue gradually calmed down. She thought about the "second sad point" mentioned by the system. She closed her eyes and asked Lin Fu for confirmation: "Did Shao Zizhuo come to save me because he thought I was Yuan Wangshu?"
Lin Fu looked at the dying person in front of her, she seemed to really care about this matter.
But he sighed and decided to tell the truth: "The kidnappers initially thought you were Yuan Wangshu and kidnapped you. The phone call threatening Zizhuo also said you were Yuan Wangshu. Zizhuo did receive photos of you being kidnapped. I'm not sure what Zizhuo thought about the incident at the time, but now he knows you were harmed and is actively defending your rights. I'm the lawyer helping him with the lawsuit."
The system voice suddenly sounded: "Miss Guan, congratulations on completing the second torture point. Please continue with the next plot."
As expected, Shao Zizhuo voluntarily gave everything for Yuan Wangshu, and I was probably admitted to the hospital because the kidnappers were angry and humiliated because they couldn't get the money.
Coptis chinensis is bitter enough, stuck in the throat of the mute, neither going up nor down. The bitterness and torment cannot be described or explained. It is engraved in the dark and blurred into an inexplicable metaphor.
Guan Shanyue subconsciously suppressed her emotions and changed the subject. She asked seriously, "Where am I injured?"
Lin Fu's tone was certain this time: "You are not injured. You must have been stimulated and suffered a temporary amnesia."
Guan Shanyue felt himself, his hands and feet were all good, and apart from a slight scratch on his wrist, there was no pain anywhere else: "That's fine."
A little bit of memory loss is not a big problem. Maybe it’s a good thing.
As he was talking, Shao Zizhuo came in carrying porridge: "What are you talking about?"
Guan Shanyue's stomach growled, and she covered it with her hands, somewhat embarrassed. "You're talking about my amnesia."
Shao Zizhuo picked up the small table and opened the lid. The aroma hit him in the face: "The doctor said it's not a big deal. It's okay if I can remember it, but it's okay if I can't."
Guan Shanyue looked at Shao Zizhuo carefully. His emotions were always calm, so calm that she could hardly tell anything.
For some reason, she felt a certainty. The amnesia part was probably about Shao Zizhuo coming to rescue her because he thought she was Yuan Wangshu. Guan Shanyue felt a hint of bitterness. It was really amazing, the amnesia was quite accurate.
But since you have lost your memory, just pretend it never happened. Why bother yourself?
The mute finally swallowed the bitter pill, and the bitter fruit that he had never spoken out was eliminated.
Guan Shanyue heaved a sigh of relief and decided to put the matter behind her completely. She scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth and looked at Shao Zizhuo with bright eyes: "It's the Meiling porridge I had at your house that day!" She really liked it.
Shao Zizhuo smiled and said, "Yes, it was cooked by Wu Ma."
He calmly put away the car keys. He had just gone to the old house to get the porridge and took away some things that were originally placed there.
Lin Fu was smelling the fragrance of the porridge and was speechless. Shao Zizhuo was so inhuman that he didn't even think of bringing him a portion. He looked at Guan Shanyue and then at Shao Zizhuo. The two of them acted as if no one was around and no one thought of him at all.
He spread his hands: "I haven't eaten either."
Shao Zizhuo glanced at him and said, "You can order food or takeout in the hospital."
Lin Fu chuckled, punched Shao Zizhuo hard, and gritted his teeth: "Alright, I'm going back to work overtime."
Lin Fu left and the ward became quiet again.
Guan Shanyue suddenly remembered: "My stocks!" She hurriedly took out her mobile phone and clicked on the stock details. Fortunately, it basically met her prediction. She sold the stocks that doubled in value and began to plan to make the next fortune.
Shao Zizhuo's voice suddenly rang out: "I resign."
Guan Shanyue was so engrossed in the stock market that she didn't hear anything for a moment. After a moment, she sat up straight, her eyes wide. "What did you say?"
Shao Zizhuo raised an eyebrow and said, "I've resigned. I'm no longer the CEO of Shaw Corporation."
Guan Shanyue slumped on the bed in a daze: "Resign? Can a president resign?"
No, the book doesn’t say Shao Zizhuo will go bankrupt, right?
Shao Zizhuo nodded: "Rather than saying he resigned, it's better to say he was set up and kicked out of Shao's."
Guan Shanyue connected it to the kidnapping of "Yuan Wangshu". The bitterness that had just been suppressed surged and struggled again, trying to break free from her control and occupy her entire mind. Guan Shanyue restrained her tone and tried to be as calm as possible: "Is it related to my kidnapping?"
Shao Zizhuo remained noncommittal: "Not entirely."
Guan Shanyue forced an unpleasant smile, her three-point certainty turning into seven-point certainty. She avoided the topic like an ostrich, trying to hide her ears and steal the bell to avoid the emotions brought about by this incident: "Since it has happened, let's fight again."
Struggle?! Guan Shanyue's sour mood gradually faded when he thought of this, and a deep sorrow took over. He had finally made some money and his career was about to get on track, but his angel investor suddenly went bankrupt, and he was going to have to live a hard life again!
She glanced at Shao Zizhuo and thought, forget it, since he was the one who provided her with the start-up capital, she might as well take him in reluctantly. "When I become rich, you can be my little brother."
