The spring breeze blew through the treetops outside the window, splashing the bright sunlight onto Lu Shizhen's back.
She was held in Xu Shiyue's arms, as if boundless tenderness was falling on her tense body. The wind and waves hit the boat, and as it swayed and swayed, a heavy anchor finally sunk into the cracks of the deep sea, allowing it to remain motionless in the storm.
Clear mind finally pushed aside the accumulated knowledge and cast the sunlight from the window into Lu Shizhen's eyes.
The chaotic and dark world finally became a little brighter, and she finally felt the reality of the real world in this dizzying world that was about to swallow her up.
And there was the tenderness of Xu Shiyue hugging herself and kissing herself.
It was just an ordinary kiss, but it seemed to have the power to turn the tide.
Their moist lips caressed each other gently, relieving the pain in her body bit by bit.
The tightly clenched nerves trembled slightly, and the soft contact softened the tangled threads of knowledge in Lu Shizhen's mind, and untangled them one by one.
The sunlight flickered into her half-lidded eyes, making her look clear yet confused.
Lu Shizhen eased the pain of system development with Xu Shiyue's gentle kiss. Amidst her heavy and labored breathing, she could vaguely hear a strange and childish voice coming from a distance.
“Do not go gentle into that good night, For old age should burn and rave at the close of day…”
It was the tender and immature voice of a child before she grew up and developed, but within this childishness there was a calmness and maturity that did not match her age.
Lu Shizhen blinked her eyelashes lightly, the blurry sunlight was broken into beams, and in this flickering light, she seemed to see a phantom.
The shadow sat upright, holding a heavy book in his hands, and encouraged himself again and again with a calm voice, telling himself not to be afraid of pain and not to give up hope of living because of pain.
Lu Shizhen knew this poem. It was written by Dylan Thomas for his critically ill father, encouraging him not to give up life easily.
However, her knowledge only stopped at knowing the name, and she had not even read the entire poem.
But, somehow, Lu Shizhen still followed the words that the child read out, and echoed her in her heart with familiarity: "A serious person, at the end of life, sees with blurry eyes that blind eyes can shine like shooting stars and leap for joy..."
It was such an unfamiliar poem, but it lingered in Lu Shizhen's mind for a long time and could not be dispelled.
The child's tender voice and firm encouragement intertwined together, which made her feel inexplicably that she had the strength to fight the pain.
Lu Shizhen slowly accepted the air pushed towards her by Xu Shiyue, and slowly she had the strength to raise her hands.
Then he followed Xu Shiyue's hand and slowly moved it into her palm, passed through the gaps between her fingers, and intertwined theirs.
Winter has passed and spring is here.
The heat occurred in the gentleness, surrounded Shi Zhen when she landed, and summoned an invincible summer in her body.
The pain continued to flow into her body, cutting through her blood vessels like a knife, but all she got in return was contempt.
Lu Shizhen silently responded to Xu Shiyue's tongue tip pressing against her teeth, and kissed her back slowly.
She fought against that "good night" with her greatest tenderness.
I don’t know if it was fifteen minutes yet, but the sound of the timer ending suddenly rang in Lu Shizhen’s mind.
With a ding-dong sound, it was as if the delivery instrument was pulled out, and the last bit of pain in her body was suddenly taken away.
The system's voice was calm and then it rang: [Congratulations to the host, the development of the Gold Finger program was successfully completed, 0.01 seconds ahead of schedule, beating 99.9% of the hosts.]
The sweat on Lu Shizhen's back was sticking to her, and she felt weak and tired.
Lu Shizhen looked like she was pulled out of the water. She was covered in sweat and had little strength. However, she couldn't help but complain when she heard the system's report: "How come it's like starting a computer program? It's just 0.01, but it's still better than most other people."
The torturous development process finally came to an end, and the tense emotions relaxed.
Lu Shizhen just leaned in Xu Shiyue's arms and looked up at her: "Am I a little bit amazing?"
The sun shone obliquely into the room from the side window, and the smile on Lu Shizhen's face was bright and brilliant.
Equally eye-catching was the sweat clinging to her forehead.
The lips that were raised were moist but bloodless, and frighteningly pale.
Xu Shiyue felt so distressed that she raised her hand to help Lu Shizhen wipe away the sweat and nodded, "Yes, you are amazing."
Lu Shizhen was like a dog that had received praise, and suddenly felt happy and proud.
But before she could say anything to Xu Shiyue, the man suddenly leaned into her arms.
"You just scared me to death."
Xu Shiyue's voice was small, and full of lingering fear.
Perhaps as a bystander, the feeling of powerlessness of being unable to help in the slightest was even more unacceptable to Xu Shiyue, who was always able to turn the tide.
Lu Shizhen silently pulled Xu Shiyue into his arms, stroking the back of her hand with difficulty but caution.
Then she noticed that Xu Shiyue's heartbeat seemed to be a little overloaded, and the sweat on her back was even more than hers.
As if he understood something, Lu Shizhen looked at Xu Shiyue dully and said, "Did you just share my..."
Before she could finish, Xu Shiyue nodded calmly: "I could feel the resistance brought by that power, so I tried to do it. I didn't expect it to actually work."
No wonder the pain I felt was reduced a little when I kissed Xu Shiyue just now.
So, it turns out...
Lu Shizhen's eyes, which had never been red, were filled with tears. She held Xu Shiyue's thin wrist with a distressed look and said, "Don't do it next time."
Xu Shiyue raised her hand and gently touched the scabbed scar below Lu Shizhen's neck, reminding him: "If you can't do it, I can't do it either."
The wind shook the branches outside the window, and the swaying light was reflected in the pupils of our eyes.
But their determination was never shaken, and neither of them could prevail against the other.
.
After obtaining the golden finger, Lu Shizhen didn't want to waste time, but Xu Shiyue forced him back to his room to sleep before going to the company.
Fortunately, the pain was not in vain. Lu Shizhen easily entered Lu Shien's highly encrypted computer and retrieved all her data over the years.
Lu Shizhen used her powerful golden finger to analyze Lu Shien's information. Looking at the programs that were constantly refreshed and running, she couldn't help but sigh: "Our Xiaoen is really a powerful boss now."
"Yes." Xu Shiyue nodded in agreement, "She really misses you and wants you to come back. Although I didn't reveal many things to her, and even didn't tell her what these programs have to do with you, she has been working day and night to find you."
Xu Shiyue was different: "It's because she wants to see you, so even if I just say a simple word; I can bring you back, she is willing to believe it."
With a long sigh, Lu Shizhen lowered his eyes a little.
She didn't know how to face this child. After all, she had only been her sister for half a year, and her real sister's soul had been crushed by the Lord God long ago.
If she knew that the person she found was the fake sister, how would she react
Will you hate yourself
Lu Shizhen was feeling a little depressed, but she felt a gentle touch on her shoulder.
Xu Shiyue looked at her gently and said, "Xiao En told Shen Yanxing that she missed the last six months she spent with you. She said that those were the happiest days she had with her sister. She thought that days like that would last for a very long time."
"Don't be afraid to confront her."
A warm current slowly flowed into Lu Shizhen's heart. Xu Shiyue could always soothe her bad mood at the right time.
Even though she never expressed this emotion out loud most of the time.
Lu Shizhen raised his hand and shook Xu Shiyue's hand on his shoulder, and the constantly updating program in his peripheral vision stopped.
The program analyzed by Lu Shien has been loaded.
Not wanting to waste time, Lu Shizhen immediately started analyzing.
But this analysis didn't even take her time, she was able to extract a regular and familiar code from the vast amount of data.
0253.
Lu Shizhen had only heard this code once, when she and Qiuqiu first met. It introduced itself when it was activated: "Congratulations to the host for successfully activating the system! Welcome to bind to the "God give me another chance" system! I am your exclusive system No. 0253!"
Qiuqiu's lively and jumping voice drifted away the dust of time and rang in Lu Shizhen's ears again after a long absence.
She didn't even have to do any disassembly, elimination, calculation or deduction to know that this was Qiuqiu's code.
The number she thought she needed to calculate was actually something she had never forgotten.
Maybe it was because the room was too humid, but Lu Shizhen's eyes suddenly turned red.
Then she sniffed lightly, consciously controlled her emotions, tapped on the keyboard, and began to crawl the main system code out of the USB drive.
Time passed minute by minute, and the sunlight placed the shadow of the girl sitting in front of the computer into Xu Shiyue's hands.
Finally, with the crisp sound of the Enter key, Lu Shizhen dissected the main system code from the numerous data.
It was a line of numbers that was much longer than Qiuqiu's code. It might have some pattern, but it was like a password without a password annotation book. No matter how hard you tried, you couldn't guess it in a short time.
After spending so many years with Lu Shien, Xu Shiyue could understand some things more or less.
She saw Lu Shizhen stop in front of a string of numbers and asked, "Is this the code for the main system?"
"Yes, that's right." Lu Shizhen nodded, his voice unusually calm.
She had just called up the system notification box, which was hanging high in her mind.
She just stared at the long line of code numbers on the main system, her raised hand pausing again and again.
She knew that if she entered these numbers, Qiuqiu would no longer have any relationship with her.
Like a symbol being erased.
She has a new system, and Qiuqiu will disappear completely.
Memory is unreliable.
Slowly, it will be washed away by the continuous influx of water over time and become increasingly faint.
A firm belief becomes indecisive because of reluctance.
Lu Shizhen looked at the blank frame with flickering eyes, and a touch of warmth fell on the hand holding the mouse.
Xu Shiyue said to her: "Qiuqiu will not be forgotten by us, you must have confidence in yourself."
"That's right, I can draw it and incorporate it into my comics, so that more people can know it and like it. This way, even if I die, it will still be alive." Lu Shizhen said, and the corners of her tightly clenched mouth slightly curled up, "Then it will be very proud to death."
After that, Lu Shizhen quickly entered the code of the main system.
It seems like a quick decision, but also like he is afraid of regretting it.
[The system code provided by the host has been received and a matching connection request is being sent to the system, 0, 1, 2, 3...]
The system's voice came out, and within ten seconds, as if it was just the time it took for a request to be sent, the feedback of successful matching came through: [Congratulations to tasker 20251127, you have been matched successfully! ]
And it was this voice that caused mist to suddenly flow into Lu Shizhen's eyes.
Tears stained her eyelashes, and the fragmented images were across her vision.
The huge screen in her sight gradually became blurred, and the flickering blue light spread out like small balls, as if her Qiuqiu had returned.
But her Qiuqiu is gone.
I don’t know if it was the setting sunlight that dyed the ball white.
The small balls that looked like stars gradually gathered together, and a huge white light body appeared in front of Lu Shizhen and Xu Shiyue.
It is clearly just a white light, but it gives people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
It just floated in the air, looking down from above, and said calmly, "Hello, Tasker 20251127. I am your new system, 206780101. I am glad to meet you."
"I express my deep sorrow for the departure of 0253 and I am sorry that I was not able to arrive in time."
Such words sounded a bit polite, and Lu Shizhen didn't really want to hear them.
But what the main system said next made her swallow back her rebuttal: "I was fortunate enough to capture a small part of the fragments of 0253, and I am currently rematching it in my body."
