Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Even if you lose your memory a hundred times, I will...

After arriving home, Gu Chen absentmindedly played with Geography for a while, and then went to the Biology room.

The door was not closed properly, leaving a crack, and Lu Xun's low and cold voice came from inside: "I will increase your funding, and you will research it within a month."

Gu Chen paused.

"What for?" Biology said coldly, "Are you here to act like a boss? Do you think scientific research is just playing house?"

Lu Xun: "Are you saying that you are not good enough?"

Biology: "You are not good enough."

There was silence inside for a while, and Gu Chen couldn't help but move closer to the crack of the door.

"It's no use provoking me. It was one thing to be able to find Gu Chen's soul last time, and it's another thing now." The creature's voice was heavy, but the sarcasm in it disappeared unconsciously. "Each world has its own operating rules. The human world and the doll world cannot communicate with each other. I have tried many times. At least now, there is no clue or evidence pointing to the memory being preserved."

Perhaps because he had never heard him speak so many words in one breath, Lu Xun fell silent.

Gu Chen looked inside through the crack in the door. The laboratory was still as dark as ever, with only a few small lights for lighting. Lu Xun stood in the dim white light, and his shadow was stretched out like a sharp blade.

Gu Chen pursed his lips and pushed the door open involuntarily: "What if it takes a year?"

Seeing him come in, Lu Xun was slightly stunned.

Gu Chen walked straight in, stopped beside Lu Xun, and stared at the creature intently: "If there is a year, can you come up with a solution?"

The creature frowned.

Lu Xun: "No."

Gu Chen looked at Lu Xun, and seeing that his expression was a little stiff, he couldn't help but smile: "I've thought it through."

"If she is only willing to take me out to play for Xingyuan this time, then it doesn't mean much."

Lu Xun squatted down and looked directly at Gu Chen, his eyes deep, revealing an unquestionable toughness: "I will be a senior next semester."

"It's not a big problem if I don't study." After Gu Chen finished speaking, he felt that his words seemed a bit too conceited, and added, "And I can learn here. I'm used to studying with this body."

Lu Xun: "What about independent enrollment?"

"It's okay." Gu Chen was sure, "I can take the exam myself during the college entrance examination."

"Some schools and majors will be full during the independent enrollment."

"Then don't go..."

"That's enough." The creature looked at the two people in front of him who were talking more and more confusingly. "Did I say that the problem can be solved in a year?"

He put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, his expression cold and serious: "Some problems cannot be solved in thousands of years."

The heart-pounding echo echoed in the huge room, as if it could freeze through people's bones: "This is reality."

His body slowly tensed up, and Gu Chen was silent for a while: "Teacher. Is this your third time traveling through time?"

The creature didn't speak.

Gu Chen said cautiously: "Since you can remember the first two times..."

"So I'm not a human." The creature paused and said slowly, "And I can never become a human."

Gu Chen opened his eyes wide. He looked at the creature's expression that was calm to the point of almost death, and a creepy chill gradually climbed up his back.

"If you want to use this method to retain your memory." The creature spoke slowly, in an indifferent and almost cruel tone, "I can..."

"No." The cold and hard voice suddenly interrupted everything. Without waiting for Gu Chen to react, Lu Xun picked him up and strode out of the room.

"Wait." Gu Chen fluttered in Lu Xun's arms, "Let's think of a way, maybe..."

Lu Xun stopped. The light in the corridor was much brighter than inside, but he lowered his head, his bangs covered his eyebrows and eyes, and Gu Chen couldn't see his expression for a while.

"...Lu Xun?" Gu Chen spoke carefully.

"Don't worry." Lu Xun put Gu Chen on the ground and squatted down. He looked up and looked no different from usual. "You go back first, and I will chase you later."

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, and his face began to heat up: "It's not this problem."

Lu Xun slowly curled his lips: "What is the problem?"

His expression looked very calm, so calm that Gu Chen had the illusion that nothing had happened.

Gu Chen: "It's..."

"Is it that you have fallen in love with me?"

"No!" Gu Chen looked at Lu Xun's smiling eyes, his eyes wandering, "It's just that I don't want to forget the memories with everyone."

He spoke more and more quietly, and his eyes were wandering.

"Isn't it common in movies? The protagonist loses his memory, encounters something, and suddenly remembers it again." Lu Xun raised his hand and touched Gu Chen's head very gently and slowly: "People can turn into dolls, so what else is impossible?"

"But..."

"Even if you lose your memory a hundred times, I can still make you like me again."

His face suddenly heated up, and Gu Chen was stuck: "I said it's not this problem..."

"Okay, it's not."

Gu Chen suddenly felt like scratching his head, and the strong panic in his heart was temporarily driven away by Lu Xun's jokes.

"I'll do my homework first." Lu Xun grabbed his hand that was scratching his head, rubbed it between his fingertips, "Are you recording a class today?"

Gu Chen nodded. Recently, more and more people have watched his videos on the forum, even outside the school. He originally planned to record a class every three days, but recently, under everyone's urging, it has become one class a day. Lu Xun

: "Then you go first, I'll come to you later."

Gu Chen paused and nodded.

A class of more than ten minutes, plus post-production of writing, took almost an hour. After finishing, Gu Chen leaned back in a small chair and was in a daze.

Once the brain is idle, those thoughts that are most likely to affect emotions will come out uncontrollably.

Gu Chen unconsciously pressed the center of his eyebrows. Suddenly, he seemed to be hit by an electric current and stood up straight.

He looked at the progress bar above his head: 99.5%.

! ! !

Fear suddenly struck his brain, Gu Chen jumped off the chair, rushed out the door, and ran directly to the door of Lu Xun's room. At the door, a little kid with a brown ponytail was knocking on the door anxiously.

"Lu Xun! Lu Xun!" The force of the knocking on the door in English became heavier and heavier, and the anxiety in the voice was not concealed, "Are you there? You..."

The door suddenly opened from the inside.

Lu Xun walked out slowly, and Gu Chen noticed at a glance the black fountain pen between the fingers of his right hand, and the ink in it was almost gone.

His breathing suddenly tightened. Gu Chen felt that every nerve in his mind was stretched to the limit, and if he was not careful, they would all break.

"What's wrong?" Lu Xun seemed not to notice Gu Chen, and squatted down to speak in English.

"I just watched the news. There was a serious car accident in Jiangning District." Yingyu was sweating and spoke quickly. "The news showed a video of the on-site treatment of the injured. I saw my mother was in it." Lu

Xun was stunned.

Gu Chen strode forward: "Don't worry, did the news say which hospital he was sent to? Why don't we go and see now?"

Yingyu shook her head repeatedly, her eyes red, and she looked like she was about to cry: "I'm like this now, I can't do anything if I go."

As she said, she couldn't help but grab Lu Xun's sleeve: "I see that my progress bar is already 98%. Can you finish Yingyu in the next two days? I know it's very willful to make such a request suddenly, but my father passed away early, and there is only one sister in the family who is studying in another city. I..."

She raised her hand and rubbed her face.

Gu Chen felt as if there was a huge stone in his heart, pressing him so hard that he couldn't breathe.

He glanced at Lu Xun.

Lu Xun lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he whispered: "Okay."

Lu Xun: "But the questions at the end are more difficult. Saturday night at the latest, okay?"

Yingyu nodded frantically.

"Let's go earlier." Gu Chen suddenly spoke, his expression difficult to discern, "I'll help you with the difficult parts."

Lu Xun looked at him and didn't respond.

"Do English first." Gu Chen paused, and his speech slowed down, with a cautious tone, "Put aside the rest of the homework... Okay?"

The air was suddenly quiet. Lu Xun stared at the blue pupils in front of him, which were as clear as ever, but if you look closely, you can notice the eyes trembling in the deepest part.

The hand holding the ink pen slowly tightened, and after an unknown amount of time, Lu Xun finally nodded.

English was so grateful that he almost cried: "Thank you! I'll treat you to dinner when I get back!"

On Friday afternoon, everyone held an emergency farewell party for English.

"Don't worry." Zheng said to Yingyu while holding his phone, "Lu Xun just called and said that he asked the hospital and your mother has been transferred from the ICU to the general ward."

Yingyu's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Zheng nodded: "It seems that your relatives have found a nurse. Now someone is taking care of her, don't worry."

Yingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with gratitude in his smile: "Thank you."

"Sister." Geography ran over with a piece of strawberry cake: "Do you want to eat it? This is very delicious!"

Yingyu touched his head, took the cake, and his eyes stayed on the plump and juicy strawberries on the cake for a moment.

"Where's Mathematics?" Yingyu looked around.

"She seemed to have a sudden inspiration." History held a potato chip in his mouth, "She said she would go write some first and come back later."

Zheng: "How many bags of potato chips have you eaten? Don't eat anymore..."

Gu Chen sat in front of the French window, listening to the sound of fighting behind him, his eyes drifting aimlessly. Lu Xun's house has a high ceiling and the living room window is wide. Looking out, the high-rise buildings lined up like gray building blocks, pushing towards the sky that seems to have no end.

"What are you thinking about?" The sudden voice startled Gu Chen. He looked up and saw Yingyu sitting next to him with a cake in his hand.

Yingyu: "Why didn't you go out with Lu Xun today?"

Gu Chen paused and smiled: "You are leaving tonight, and I wanted to stay with you for a while."

"Damn." Yingyu looked flattered, and she lowered her voice nervously, "Don't say this in front of Lu Xun, I don't want to be scared." After

she finished speaking, she put down the cake and looked around carefully. Biology and mathematics were not there, and the political history and geography were in a mess.

"Can I ask you a favor?" Yingyu sat down next to Gu Chen.

"What?"

"This..." Yingyu handed an envelope to Gu Chen. The envelope was light yellow, with three white roses painted on the lower right corner. Although there was nothing written on it, it was not difficult to tell what kind of letter it was.

Gu Chen blinked: "Aren't you afraid of being scared to death?"

"No, no." Yingyu shook his head nervously. Seeing Gu Chen laughing, he also laughed, "You are also funny."

Gu Chen took the letter.

"Hey, after I leave, can you give it to Mathematics for me?"

Gu Chen was stunned and saw Yingyu's ears were red. Because of Lu Xun, his sensitivity to such things has made a qualitative leap.

Gu Chen: "Why don't you give it to her now?"

Yingyu scratched his head: "I don't know how she will react. No matter what the reaction is, it will definitely have a big impact on me. My mother is like that now... I want to go back and deal with things first, so that she can have some time. When it's almost done, I will come back to find her."

Yingyu laughed as she spoke: "It would be best if she can accept it. If not, I will find a way then. We have been together for so long, I think I still have a good chance... What's wrong with you?"

Yingyu looked at Gu Chen who suddenly lowered his head and trembled slightly beside him, and was a little panicked: "If you think it's inconvenient..."

"Convenient." His voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible, "Leave it to me."

According to Lu Xun's homework progress, Yingyu would go back on Saturday morning. That night, Gu Chen didn't sleep all night.

At 4:30 in the morning, he walked out of the room and found that the door of Yingyu's room was open when he passed by it.

"Yingyu?" He knocked on the door tentatively.

"She went back." A voice came from the room.

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment and pushed the door open.

There was no light on in the room, and a large amount of moonlight poured in through the window glass. Lu Xun was squatting on the ground, holding a doll with brown ponytail in his hand.

The doll had a smile on its face, and was bathed in the ethereal moonlight, lying quietly in Lu Xun's hand.

For a moment, Gu Chen suddenly felt that everything in front of him was very unreal. It was as if what had happened in the past few months was just a dream.

"Why is she..." Gu Chen unconsciously exerted force on the hand on the door, "Didn't she say she would be back in the morning?"

"I finished it early." Lu Xun stood up with the doll, walked in front of Gu Chen, squatted down and touched his head: "It's still early, go back and sleep for a while?"

Gu Chen looked at Lu Xun and found that he was still wearing the same clothes he wore when he came back from school yesterday afternoon.

Not sleeping all night, finishing early...

The uneasiness buried deep in his heart swept over his body again, and seeing Lu Xun's hand reaching out, Gu Chen took two steps back in fear.
