Chapter 207 "Uneasy"
The violin played its last note.
"Xiao Yue'er, I'm leaving. I'll come see you again tomorrow." Lin Chen leaned down and gently kissed Ke Yue's forehead as usual.
"Wish you a sweet dream."
The ward became quiet again.
The night is deep.
In the darkness, the girl lying motionless on the hospital bed.
Quietly, something shiny slipped off and disappeared into the shadows without anyone noticing.
Was that a tear?
……
Time flows silently.
The young man's life did not change much.
No, something has changed.
Wei has sent more than a thousand letters, and the white paper is like snowflakes, containing the purest love.
When can I wake up?
the boy asked.
You are not ready yet. The girl replied.
The boy didn't understand.
What does it take to be ready?
The girl laughed, her peach blossom eyes slightly curved, gentle and lingering.
She spoke softly.
You really...
Would you like to wake up?
……
"Am I really willing to wake up?"
I love Lin Chen.
But does "Lin Chen" really exist?
What if he is just a person in my imagination?
After all, the Lin Chen I know only comes from the words in those letters.
I indulge in these loving words and settle for this kind of life.
I don't want to change the current time.
I didn't realize it until now.
I never really owned Lin Chen.
His existence is too ethereal to me, like a beam of light that can no longer be grasped.
I was afraid to face the outside world.
This scares me.
……
"In view of Ke Yue's history of mental illness, his behavior of not inciting others to take drugs or selling drugs, and his lack of major faults during his sentence, today, the five-year prison sentence is reduced to three years. We hope that the prisoner can actively reform and adhere to socialism. Core Values.”
——November 23, 2022
Another year has passed.
"Ke Yue, your sentence is over."
"I'll take you home."
Lin Chen took Ke Yue back to Chang'an.
The Lin family retreats from the world, and Ke Yue can get the best protection and treatment here.
No one can disturb them anymore.
"Your hair has grown a little longer."
Lin Chen helped Ke Yue up so that she could lean on him in a comfortable position.
He used a sandalwood comb to comb the sleeping girl's long hair.
Yes, it's a girl.
During the three years of sleeping, Ke Yue's appearance did not change much, but her hair kept growing, and it grew very fast.
The very end of the hair has even fallen to the butterfly bone.
If anyone sees Ke Yue now, they will definitely not treat her as a boy again.
When Lin Chen combed Ke Yue's hair for the first time, he was extremely nervous. He was cautious and didn't know what to do, for fear of hurting her by using too much force.
Even if he accidentally pulls out a strand of hair, he will be upset for a long time.
Later, the more times I did it, the more I became proficient.
Not only is he not nervous now, he can even braid Ke Yue's hair.
The hair, as white as velvet, ran smoothly through Lin Chen's fingers, dancing in his hands obediently.
They say that artists are skillful, and this is indeed true.
He can do it quickly and neatly, whether it is twist braid, fishbone braid, scorpion braid, two-strand braid, princess braid... he can do it all.
Lin Chen can now finally understand why "issue control" exists in the world.
It turns out that hair is really addictive if you play with it too much...
Of course, the most important thing is that his little Yue'er looks good no matter how she dresses.
He thought like this, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
"Today, all the news reports the same thing."
Lin Chen gathered Ke Yue's hair from her temples and carefully braided it into a garland-like braid.
While he was compiling, he habitually talked to Ke Yue.
"The scandal of the Su family has been exposed."
"It turns out that the most valuable patent in the hands of the Su family in recent years was obtained through unfair means. Not only that, they also have a technology monopoly and continue to raise product prices."
"The Su family also seems to have tax problems. The company has been seized, the stock price has dropped to the limit, and it is on the verge of bankruptcy."
"And the person who exposed this is actually..."
"Su Keyi."
After Su Keyi's contract with the Black and White Team expired, she did something crazy.
He stood on the roof of a tall building in the most prosperous area of the capital, and then hacked the entire city's network system.
He pointed the camera at himself, and in a simultaneous live broadcast on dozens of online media platforms, he told all the crimes of the Su family and listed all the evidence.
He complained about his father and exposed the ugly face of capital that arbitrarily seizes the hard work of scientific researchers.
He revealed his true identity to the entire network.
"Su Huaiyu."
How many years has it been since you used this name?
In these years, after his father died, Su Huaiyu did not spend any of the money he received from the Su family.
A total of 3,408,000 yuan of RMB fell from the roof of the building like snowflakes.
Su Huaiyu is crazy!
People who steal money are also crazy!
"People always have to do something crazy in this life."
Su Huaiyu finally said to the live camera.
He won't live much longer.
Then, he jumped off the 70m tall building.
The banknotes were stained with his blood.
"In a sense, what Su Huaiyu did shook the capital structure of the entire capital." Lin Chen said.
After the Su family's affairs were exposed, the issue of capitalists using patented monopoly technology to drive up product prices received major attention from the country, and the entire upper class in the capital was strictly investigated.
"To a certain extent, you and him are really similar."
Just as crazy, yet equally calm and fearless.
Lin Chen sighed.
Ke Yue's hair was braided quickly, and Lin Chen helped her tidy up the last bits of hair near her ears.
The hair on her temples was all braided, embellished with pearls in the middle, and the rest of her long hair fell elegantly.
She looks like a noble princess.
But the princess fell asleep.
Like Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale.
……
"If I kiss you, will you wake up?"
I looked at the contents of the letter and said nothing.
I was both looking forward to and afraid of waking up.
I'm confused, really.
I started having self-doubt again.
Ever since I woke up in this strange world for some unknown reason, I seem to be being led by others.
They said I was Ke Yue.
So I became Ke Yue according to their ideas.
I even believe that I am Ke Yue.
However, I started having nightmares again.
……
"Everyone has to do something crazy in this life."
Do you think so?
"Ke Yue."
The boy was awakened.
The girl looked worried.
Did you dream of something scary?
I'm thinking...
The young man looked at the maze in the distance.
Why is it so quiet there? (End of chapter)
