When Mu Qingyan opened her eyes, she saw the familiar ceiling.
The sun is shining brightly outside the window, shining through the curtains onto the autumn peony petals on the table, leaving beautiful arcs of light.
She remembered that it didn't seem to be this kind of flower before.
"Kins, where's the bottle of white hyacinth?"
—Has it faded? So quickly?
——I’m still a little hungry. I want to eat the noodles made by Kins…
After a long while, footsteps were heard outside the room, and then the door was pushed open.
"Yan, you're awake. How do you feel?"
"York?" Mu Qingyan was stunned. She realized that her head was aching because of her friend's worried tone. She unconsciously pressed her head, "Hiss..."
I only felt a circle of gauze.
"Yan, you'd better lie down and get some sleep. I can help you if you need anything... Are you hungry? Jason is preparing you—"
"It's okay, I'll go out and take a look. Tell me, why are you here? Where did I get hurt? Is Dustin here too?"
Mu Qingyan asked as she walked out of the room, and coincidentally, she met Dustin who was about to come in.
She was a little confused about the other person's serious yet troubled expression.
"What's wrong? Why are you free to come and play with me? Wait a minute--"
"Yan." Dustin reached out to stop her and said word by word, "That's enough. Stop it."
The pain in her head became more intense, and countless memories came back. York came over to support her. Fortunately, she did not faint.
"Where's Kins? Where's Xiao Yin? I want to see them!"
"Yan, calm down. We brought Kinsley back. He's next door now, but—"
Before she could finish, Mu Qingyan stumbled out.
Isn't it the next room? Why can't she find it even after opening countless doors?
"Xiao Yin...Xiao Yin! Where are you?"
When she was at her wit's end, the AI's voice finally rang out:
"Boss, this way."
She found the person in the ice room in the far corner at the back of the laboratory.
The temperature inside was extremely low, and she didn't know whether she was shivering from the cold or from fear.
"Xiaoyin...what's wrong...don't sleep here..." She wanted to say this with a smile, but why did tears flow first? "Xiaoyin, wake up, you will catch a cold, I will take you out..."
——What's going on? He was fine just now...
"Xiao Yin! Xiao Yin! Open your eyes! I found you, please look at me!"
"Qingyan, calm down! York really didn't stop you...Qingyan, don't be like this..."
Mu Qingyan's vision was blocked, and it took her a while to see clearly who was in front of her.
"Chuxuan?" She grabbed Shen Chuxuan's hand as if she had found a life-saving straw, "Chuxuan, tell me... tell me what happened? I clearly remember that Xiaoyin was fine!"
"Qingyan...Qingyan, listen to me..."
Chen Chuxuan put the clothes in her hand on the person, but her strength was comparable to Mu Qingyan's and she couldn't pull the other person away, so the two of them could only sit on the ground together.
"There was an explosion at BI headquarters. When the people I brought found you and A Yin, he was already in a coma. Your condition wasn't good either, but at least you only had minor injuries. But A Yin..."
"What happened to him? What happened to him? Chu Xin, do you have a way to save him?"
"I... I'm trying to think of a way. We must have a way. Dustin and York have been trying for the past three months—"
"What did you say? Three... months..."
Shen Chuxuan was stunned for a long time, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red:
"Qingyan, it's been three months since you went to BI headquarters. Before that, you were reluctant to wake up, and we tried many methods, but this month..."
In the last month, Mu Qingyan woke up many times, and the vital signs monitoring also proved that her head injury had healed, but every time those painful memories came back, she would still fall into shock instantly.
Today is the best situation ever.
"For the past three months... has he been lying here?"
"...yes…"
Mu Qingyan wanted to cry and shout, but she seemed to have no strength left. Soon, she realized another thing that had plunged her into hell.
"Chu Yan...where's Kins? You know him, right? That guy...he looks a lot like Xiao Yin..."
"I…"
"You found Kins too, didn't you? Is he in the other room? I'll go check..."
"Don't say so..."
"I know he did a lot of wrong things this time, but it all comes down to me. It's a bit unreasonable not to hand him over to the Robotics Association this time. I won't have to do regular maintenance on him then..."
Mu Qingyan was talking to herself, with a hint of joking in her tone. She wanted to stand up, but for some reason, her legs were so weak that she couldn't use any strength.
Shen Chuxuan used a little strength to pull the person back and hold him in her arms. She knew that both of them were trembling, and she also knew that now might not be a good time.
But for people like them, when is the right time?
"Qingyan, listen to me carefully. The reason I was able to find you and Ayin is because you were sent to the outskirts of the building in advance by someone unknown. Although the explosion affected you two, it wasn't too serious. But..." She choked and took a deep breath to suppress her tears, "My people didn't find Kins."
She knew how important the robot was to Qingyan, so she tried her best to search for it in the ruins for many days, but in the end...
Mu Qingyan listened attentively, but soon she realized that she heard nothing, only Chu Xin's lips were moving in front of her.
The boundless silence was familiar yet strange, as if there had been a moment like this before BI fell into a coma.
"Yan, I'm sorry..."
It was Kins apologizing to her, and he seemed to say "sorry" many times.
"Yan, my logic tells me that as long as I can help you get rid of Lawrence Bedford, whatever I do in the process is right. I framed Infinity unintentionally, just to gain Lawrence Bedford's trust. I didn't expect it would make you so sad..."
"As for Qi Yin, you can apologize to him for me. He likes you so much, he should forgive me..."
"You will forgive me too, right..."
Mu Qingyan forgot how she answered. She seemed to just hold on to the front of the other person's clothes tightly, as if everything in front of her would disappear if she let go.
At the very end, just before she closed her eyes, warm lips touched her forehead, and then separated.
Big drops of tears wet Shen Chuxuan's collar. Mu Qingyan touched the place where warmth still seemed to remain, and finally burst into tears.
