Chi Lin returned to the house refreshed after meditation. Peng Ziyuan had already prepared breakfast with the help of Mr. System.
After breakfast, Peng Ziyuan wanted to send Chi Lin to school, but Chi Lin politely declined:
"I can just take a taxi myself."
On the way to school, I opened my phone and found a lot of WeChat messages.
There are two messages from Lin Xiaoying. She sent me her finished homework at around 8 o’clock last night with the caption “Standard answer, copy it quickly”.
Lin Xiaoying, the squad leader, doesn't seem very serious...
There are also a lot of messages coming from the class group of Class 6, Grade 2.
The class group is very lively every day because without Lao Qi, everyone can say anything.
In order to master contemporary information and quickly integrate into the group, Chi Lin would read the chat content of the class group. No matter how boring or trivial the content was, she would force herself to read it and strive to be a qualified modern person.
In this way, if the reincarnation of His Majesty is found one day, there will be no problem of communication with her.
Chi Lin was casually flipping through the chat history, still thinking about the next method to find His Majesty, when he suddenly saw someone mentioned his name.
“…Are you talking about Chi Lin?”
Chi Lin stopped swiping the screen and scrolled up and down. His classmates were discussing a new hot post on the school forum.
Title: Someone’s “sister” finally showed up!
Chi Lin went to the forum and saw that the anonymous post had no pictures, just a line of text with a lot of exclamation marks, which sounded extremely excited:
"Today I saw someone from Class 6, Grade 2 and her sister in Huiju Mall! She couldn't even hold the things her sister bought for her with both hands!! They were hugging each other!!! I just want to ask, Class 6, Grade 2!! Are you being kept by someone!! Do you still have any shame!!!"
Reply from downstairs:
Senior 2, Class 1-Teng Jiang: "The poster is so excited, why is he anonymous and afraid to meet people?"
Taohuatanshui [Administrator]: "I can write 100 posts a minute about this kind of stupid trolling without any evidence. If there is no evidence within half an hour, I will delete the post and ban the IP."
On the road of struggle: "You are talking about Chi Lin, it's too obvious, there is no one in Class 6 whose abbreviation is CL. Is there any solid evidence? You know the kind."
Class 1, Grade 2 - Teng Jiang: "Obviously not, otherwise he would have been there long ago."
Wei Zhuoning, Class 6, Grade 2: "Don't waste public resources with trash! Even if you're anonymous, I know who you are!"
…
Lhx, haven't you learned your lesson yet? Chi Lin didn't even look down. This kind of childish trick was a waste of her time.
She exited the school forum, logged into the archives, and continued searching for the little wave she longed for in the vast ocean of archives.
Chi Lin immediately forgot about the school forum and tried hard to blend in with his surroundings every day. At the same time, he had to spare a lot of time to rack his brains to find a way to find His Majesty.
In fact, the national teacher's soul-chasing secret technique is amazing. Not only did it help her borrow a girl with the same name and surname, but the most rare thing is that this girl is also a poor student.
This is a very good umbrella.
She doesn't need to spend time on studying at all. Even if she gets 0 points in all subjects, no one would think there is anything wrong with it. It is definitely the normal performance of a poor student.
But she wanted to understand this world, and mastering more knowledge would provide more ideas and methods for the search for His Majesty.
Not to mention that Chi Lin herself is a person who refuses to admit defeat, and she does not allow herself to be inferior to others in any aspect.
So she spent 24 hours a day very full, busy from morning till night, and Mr. System was always chatted by her until he got hot. She slept for a maximum of 5 hours.
Chi Lin was not a person who liked to sleep, and in this era there was something called coffee that could help her stay awake. It was more effective and healthier than studying hard, and it was also very convenient.
In addition to coffee, there are also many energy capsules and energy supplement drinks. When Chi Lin saw these, he thought of the medicinal stones used by many scholars or celebrities in Ohara. Those medicinal stones can refresh the mind, but the side effects are great, which Chi Lin has never liked.
So she only drinks coffee to keep herself awake, and nothing else.
Lou Mi is different from her. Lou Mi is extremely dependent on "medicine".
In her truck bed were cans of medicine of unknown effect, and there were also many medicine cans scattered around the house.
At first, Chi Lin didn't know what these medicines were used for. Sometimes he saw a black bottle on the entrance cabinet, and sometimes he saw a green bottle on the kitchen preparation table.
Chi Lin was curious, so he scanned the bottle with his mobile phone and quickly got the translation result.
Lou Lixing and Peng Ziyuan are the kind of people who go to bed early and wake up early, fighting for their lives. Chi Lin goes to bed late and wakes up early, not wasting a minute or a second.
Lou Mi's sleeping time is not fixed. She is blessed to be able to sleep. Sometimes she falls asleep just after everyone wakes up. Sometimes she wakes up just after everyone sleeps.
Due to the special nature of Lou Mi's job, even if four people live in the same house, it is common for them not to see each other for a week and have to rely on WeChat to communicate.
On the weekend, Lou Lixing and Peng Ziyuan both had to go to the company and ordered breakfast for Chi Lin. When Chi Lin was eating and reading alone at the dining table, he found a medicine bottle lying under the corner of the table.
When I picked it up, there was a rustling sound inside. It felt like I had finished half the bottle.
How did you end up here
The green medicine jar, Chi Lin recognized it.
Lou Mi walked out of the bedroom, her hair tied up quite casually, her eyes a little swollen, obviously she didn't sleep well, her eyes were half closed, and when she turned the corner to the living room, she was dazzled by the sudden bright sunlight in the living room and turned her head away uncomfortably.
Chi Lin immediately asked Mr. System to turn the windows of the living room into dark green to block out all the sunlight.
"Are you okay?" Chi Lin said, "Sorry, I didn't notice you coming out."
Lou Mi waved his hand, signaling her not to worry about it, and continued strolling in the living room.
I strolled to the TV cabinet, looked at it for a long time, did nothing, and walked towards the bedroom.
He stopped halfway, as if thinking something painfully. He looked around, his brows still tightly furrowed.
Chi Lin walked towards her with the medicine jar: "Are you looking for this?"
The moment he saw the medicine jar, Lou Mi's expression suddenly changed.
Without waiting for Chi Lin to speak again, she quickly stepped forward, blocked Chi Lin against the wall, grabbed Chi Lin's arm, and snatched the medicine jar.
Chi Lin didn't expect her to do this suddenly. He couldn't help but shrink his shoulders and put his movable arm in front of his chest. This was a very typical defensive posture.
If Lou Mi did anything rude next time, she would probably push Lou Mi away.
Lou Mi pressed Chi Lin's wrist against the wall with one hand, and held the medicine jar against the wall with the other hand. This action trapped Chi Lin within her arms.
The dangerous expression slowly relaxed after he saw Chi Lin's face clearly.
"Sorry..." Lou Mi found that the medicine jar was dented because of his nervous grip, "I scared you."
Chi Lin knew that something was wrong with her mood, so he shook his head and said gently, "I'm fine."
There was a layer of cold sweat on Lou Mi's forehead. He forced a smile and looked at Chi Lin's impolite behavior of still holding his wrist. He wanted to let go, but his body was so stiff that he could hardly move.
Of course Chi Lin noticed her abnormality, so he lowered his defense, pinched her arms and shoulders, and helped her massage her muscles and acupoints.
Where Chi Lin's fingertips pressed, the stiffness slowly eased and he felt the blood begin to flow again.
"Come here and sit here."
Chi Lin took her to sit on the sofa in the living room, poured her a glass of warm water, unscrewed the lid of the medicine jar, and asked her:
"Eat now?"
Lou Mi nodded.
Following the instructions on the bottle, Chi Lin poured out two pills and asked her to take them with water.
After drinking two pills and a cup of warm water, Lou Mi closed his eyes and rested for a while, and finally recovered completely.
When she opened her eyes again, Chi Lin was still sitting beside her, with a cup of warm water in his hand.
"More?"
Lou Mi took the cup of water and said, "Thank you very much. Don't be afraid. I just have a bit of neurasthenia, not a mental illness."
Chi Lin: "I'm not afraid either."
Lou Mi secretly glanced at her red wrist, feeling even more guilty:
"Does it hurt? Let me see."
Chi Lin shook his arm and smiled: "Don't worry, it's not broken. You are not that strong yet."
Lou Mi smiled bitterly and said, "How powerful must I be to break your wrist with one hand..."
Chi Lin looked at her pale face and felt that he still had some questions to ask:
"Are you taking neurostimulants?"
"Wow, you can understand such complicated English words? That's quite an improvement."
“… I checked it on my phone.”
"Oh, I think too much."
"The phone also told me that this drug has side effects and may accelerate the death of nerve cells." Although Chi Lin didn't know much about modern terms such as "nerve cells", she roughly understood that this was something related to the brain, and side effects would definitely be very bad. What's more, there was the word "death", which was a bit scary.
Lou Mi still said in a relaxed tone: "Medicine is three-quarters poisonous, why do you only see the poisonous part? There are so many benefits, open your eyes and see them too."
She has always been like this, except when she is being mean to others, she is basically like this.
Chi Lin, who had no clue about modern medicine, was not sure whether what she said was true.
If I continue to take it too seriously, I might be suspected of meddling in other people's affairs.
"So you were looking for it when you came out of the bedroom just now?" Chi Lin simply changed the subject.
"Yes, let's find it." Lou Mi opened the medicine jar to check whether the pills inside were broken by her strong squeeze.
Lou Mi clearly walked around there twice, but he didn't look like he was looking for anything. His eyes didn't look around, but he was thinking about what he should do.
"Don't think too much. I'm in good health. What about the other two?"
Chi Lin knew she was referring to Lou Lixing and Peng Ziyuan: "They left early in the morning and said they were going to the company."
"It's a rare weekend, why are you looking for excuses to go out for a date? Why do you have to hide in front of us? Aren't you tired?"
After Lou Mi finished speaking, he looked at Chi Lin: "So, do you still mind?"
Chi Lin knew what she meant by "mind". The original owner was very concerned about Peng Ziyuan getting married again.
I am just borrowing the original owner's body, and I will have to return it sooner or later. It is not easy for me to speak on her behalf about this sensitive relationship, so I can only choose to remain silent.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lou Mi stopped asking.
I thought Chi Lin's recent series of changes were because he had figured it out.
In fact, everyone has some things in their heart that they can't let go of.
After having a quick breakfast and returning to the room, Lou Mi's desk was a mess. The huge monitor, various gaming keyboards, holographic gaming accessories, tactical drawings and writing boards alone took up most of the desk.
No matter how messy the table is, there is one corner that is always tidy and spotless.
There are two photo frames in this corner. One of them is a family photo from her high school years. Lou Mi was the same age as Chi Lin is now. This is the last photo taken before her mother passed away. Even though she was already terminally ill and looked haggard, she still smiled brightly in the photo.
She and Lou Lixing stood on the left and right sides of their mother respectively, like guards protecting her.
Unfortunately, despite all my efforts, I was unable to protect her.
Another photo shows the award ceremony for Team Jiutian when they won the championship of "Re-Fighting in the Jianghu" for the first time two years ago.
The whole venue was filled with floating ribbons and the cheers seemed to still be ringing in my ears. Lou Mi stood in the middle holding the trophy, Fu Tu was crying like a fool with tears all over her face, Xie Buyu stood beside her, comforting her and laughing at her, Xiao V was holding champagne and spraying it at the host, and A Bao was standing in the corner, looking in the direction of Lou Mi.
Whether it is mother or Jiutian Team, they are what Lou Mi cares about most.
Now, she has lost it all.
Lou Mi sat on the chair, slightly absent-minded.
As the name suggests, neuronal stimulants can stimulate neurons and make the brain briefly excited, rapidly improving reaction ability and other abilities in a short period of time.
It's not an illegal drug, but it's not a good thing either.
Lou Mi took this medicine for half a year and found that in addition to the effects advertised, it could also alleviate her forgetfulness symptoms.
Every time she took the medicine, she would remember some small things that happened many years ago. She thought these small things had disappeared long ago, but after taking the medicine, she realized that they had always been in her mind, but she had forgotten them.
The feeling of being forgotten made her panic.
After the second course of treatment prescribed by Dr. Bai, her headaches were relieved, but her forgetfulness became worse.
When she woke up this morning, she was sure that she wanted to find something, and that thing should be in the living room. However, after she walked out of the bedroom and took two steps, a vague idea popped into her mind. When she thought about what she was going to do again, she had completely forgotten it.
I couldn't even remember the vague thought.
She didn't even know how she got home from the club yesterday.
She couldn't tell Dr. Bai about this. She didn't know if her forgetfulness had worsened because of the stimulant drugs she had taken secretly.
But if she didn't take stimulant drugs, she felt she would most likely slide rapidly into the abyss of Alzheimer's disease.
After all, since four years ago, holographic game syndrome has been listed as an important factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease, along with family history, thyroid disease, head trauma and viral infection.
It is well known how much holographic games rely on brain neurons. From the age of 16 until last year, Lou Mi spent much more time in holographic games every day than in reality.
If Lou Mi hadn't been suffering so much from the All-Game Syndrome, he might have continued living like this.
Last year, there were three cases of professional holographic e-sports players suffering from Alzheimer's disease overseas. All three were women with an average age of 24. All of them developed the disease when they were about to enter the end of their professional careers.
Due to the rise of professional holographic e-sports, Alzheimer's disease has become a disease that even young people cannot escape.
This spring, the oldest of the three women, a 26-year-old Russian woman, died.
A paper published in a famous medical journal mentioned that perhaps holographic e-sports professional players will redefine Alzheimer's disease.
Lou Mi knew that she was most likely one of them.
She didn't want to forget everything that belonged to her.
If one day she forgets the career she loves, or even forgets her mother and herself, who will help her remember
Lou Mi didn't play games or go to the club.
I didn’t take the stimulant drugs, I just threw them aside and went to sleep.
I don’t know how long I slept, but when Lou Mi woke up, it was still daylight outside.
She glanced at the time and realized that she had slept for a whole day. It was now 6:50 am on Monday.
She had a slight headache and tested her pt index, which was 4.9.
Lou Mi couldn't help but laugh at herself. Her PT index was 4.9, which was several times higher than normal pain. To her, it was just a slight pain. It seemed that she was already quite accustomed to headaches.
She went to have her car serviced. It was raining outside. She felt a little groggy after a long sleep and didn't want to move. She sent a WeChat message to Sister Lan, saying that she would go to the club tomorrow.
I just sent this WeChat message, planning to be lazy at home all day today and spend the day relaxing by watching some movies or TV series.
Lou Lixing's "personal letter" was sent at the right time, asking her to pick up Chi Lin from school this afternoon and take her to her grandparents' house, where the four of them would meet up.
Lou Mi: "Can we go another day?"
Lou Lixing: "Grandpa, can you change your birthday to another day?"
Lou Mi: “…”
It turns out that today is Grandpa’s birthday, but she had completely forgotten about it.
No, I have to use the memo in my phone. Not only to record, but also to set an alarm to remind me.
It doesn’t matter if you forget to do other things, but you must never forget grandpa’s birthday.
She has a very good relationship with her grandparents. When she was in elementary school, her school was just opposite her grandparents' community, and she would go to her grandparents' house for lunch every day.
At that time, my grandparents had just retired. When they had nothing to do every day, they would think about making something delicious for their granddaughter. They loved her very much.
When she was 25, her grandparents remembered every birthday she had. She couldn't be ungrateful.
Lou Mi: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that it was Grandpa's birthday? I didn't even prepare a gift!"
Lou Lixing: "My baby Mimi is so busy, it's normal to forget things occasionally. It's okay, I have prepared the gifts for you and put them in the cloakroom, one for you and one for Xiaolin. Just bring them when you pick up Xiaolin from get out of class in the evening."
Where can I find such a caring father
Lou Mi decided to keep a calm mind and love Lou Lixing well in the near future.
Thinking about what happened in the evening, Lou Mi felt a little excited. He soaked in the bathtub for most of the day, listened to music he hadn't listened to for a long time, and watched a movie on the TV screen. He didn't use any holographic entertainment methods during the day at home, so he let his brain relax.
After calculating Chi Lin's school time, Lou Mi took a gift and took a taxi to pick up Chi Lin.
The class was delayed for a while, and Chi Lin was not released until 6:30.
When she was packing, she found a WeChat message on her phone. Lou Mi said that her taxi was at the taxi stand east of the school, and asked Chi Lin to come out when she could.
Peng Ziyuan told her that they were going to celebrate the old man's birthday tonight. Lou Mi's WeChat message was sent 45 minutes ago, so she wouldn't have waited that long.
Chi Lin quickly packed up and prepared to leave.
Seeing that she obviously quickened her pace of packing after reading WeChat, Lin Xiaoying asked curiously, "Do you have a date tonight?"
Chi Lin: "Well, let's go celebrate the old man's birthday."
Lin Xiaoying came over and said to her, "Remember not to put too many candles in, otherwise it will cause a fire."
Chi Lin admired the kid's naughty mind, as he could always think of some ridiculous things.
But why get so close to me when saying something like that
Chi Lin, who was busy packing, didn't notice that a burning gaze from behind had been fixed on the two of them for a long time.
Wei Zhuoning looked at Lin Xiaoying and Chi Lin whispering to each other again, and immediately lost interest in organizing the collection of wrong questions.
She didn't know why, but she had lost all her fighting spirit.
When she thought about the fact that her math teacher would keep those who scored below 50 points on yesterday's test after school for further scolding, she felt that her life was hopeless.
Lian Chilin scored 60 points, and she is only in her early 30s...
As the college entrance examination draws closer, Wei Zhuoning begins to panic.
Am I going to be finished
When Chi Lin walked out of the teaching building, the rain outside was getting heavier.
She walked with difficulty in the rain holding an umbrella, and the wind was very strong.
After a lot of effort, we arrived at the taxi stop that Lou Mi mentioned, but there were many cars parked there. I guess they were all called and waiting for passengers.
The heavy rain hit the car windows with a bang, and the water kept flowing down from the top. It was difficult to see the situation inside through all the windows, and no one had any idea which car Lou Mi was sitting in.
I should say the license plate number...
Chi Lin looked around but couldn't find anyone. He wanted to use his phone to send a WeChat message to ask again, but a strong wind almost blew Chi Lin off the ground and even blew his umbrella over.
When Lin Xiaoying sat in the empty seat next to Wei Zhuoning, he had prepared a lot of words to tease her, but when Wei Zhuoning looked up, tears were clearly visible in her red eyes.
Seeing that the person sitting next to her was Lin Xiaoying, she quickly lowered her head.
Lin Xiaoying bit her knuckles gently.
This is her habit, she can't help but do it whenever she is excited.
Wei Zhuoning had already lowered her head very low, but Lin Xiaoying could still see her wet eyelashes.
The teasing was a bit too much and the silly little rabbit was made to cry.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Wei Zhuoning didn't even look up when he spoke, and said stiffly, "Did you also score below 50 points?"
"139 points, the highest in the class, and in the top ten in the grade." Lin Xiaoying introduced.
Wei Zhuoning: "… So you came here to laugh at me."
Lin Xiaoying crossed his arms and laid them on the table, resting his face on them. From this height he could concentrate on observing Wei Zhuoning's tearful yet stubborn eyes.
"What? Don't look!" Wei Zhuoning was really getting angry and embarrassed.
Lin Xiaoying was not afraid of her getting angry at all.
Wei Zhuoning is just a paper tiger, she knows it too well.
"I didn't mean to laugh at you, really."
Wei Zhuoning turned away and thought, could it be that she is here to help me with my studies? Is she such a good person
Before Wei Zhuoning began to be moved, she heard Lin Xiaoying say:
"I just want to admire what you look like when you cry because of being bullied by me."
It was windy and rainy, so Chi Lin quickly adjusted the direction of the umbrella, hoping that the wind would blow it back.
The whole process was quite embarrassing. Chi Lin thought that he would be blown to a mess by the rain, but unexpectedly, a particularly large umbrella was passed over his head.
While protecting her tightly, a slender arm came from behind her and helped her close the umbrella smoothly.
Chi Lin felt two soft things against her back, and the familiar scent of perfume passed through the smell of rain and was accurately received by her.
Looking back, I saw Lou Mi with long brown hair. A few strands of hair were blown by the wind and stuck to her fair and delicate face. She was still wearing a mask, but it was pulled to her chin, revealing her entire face.
The way Lou Mi protected her was very much like a hug.
"I thought you didn't bring an umbrella, so I went to pick you up." Lou Mi opened the car door for her and let her go in first.
Chi Lin was stuffed into the car by her and the umbrella was also taken away by her.
Lou Mi walked around to the driver's seat with an umbrella in one hand and closed Chi Lin's umbrella with the other hand.
The car door was closed, the wind and rain were blocked outside, and water was dripping from the tips of Lou Mi's hair.
"You're wet."
"You won't die. Look at the two gifts in the back of the car. They're both prepared by my dad, one for you and one for me. My grandfather's birthday is tonight, and it wouldn't be nice to go empty-handed. Pick one."
"I can do anything..."
"I knew you would say that. The big one is fishing gear, and the small one is a ticket for an opera performance. You can say that you bought the ticket. My grandfather loves to listen to opera the most."
"Yeah, okay."
After setting the destination, Lou Mi glanced at Chi Lin. Today, she still looked like a cute high school student without makeup, but why was her face so red
Lou Mi: "You wouldn't be sick so soon after being exposed to the wind and rain, right? Your face is even red."
Chi Lin: "It's a bit stuffy in the car..."
Of course, she would not say that the contact just now reminded her of the nickname "Da Mimi" that she once had in WeChat, which was actually worthy of the name.
Chi Lin's mind was still wandering, Lou Mi reached out and touched her forehead: "It's okay, I don't think you have a fever. Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
Chi Lin: "Okay..."
After Lou Mi's hand left her, her face turned even redder.
Chi Lin turned his head to look out the window and never turned back.
