Chapter 42 Chapter 42 He Forgot You, and You Forgot Him
Chapter 42 Chapter 42 He forgot you, and you forgot him (…
Gu Chen took a lot of effort to come back to his senses from Lu Xun’s words: “Wait.”
He suddenly felt his throat dry, and calmed down and said: “Calm down first.”
“I’m calm.” Lu Xun’s expression really looked like what he said. If it weren’t for what he said just now, Gu Chen almost believed it.
He closed his eyes, and felt as if someone had strangled his heart with a rope: “I don’t think we need to be so anxious, let’s wait a few days, just in case…”
“Go back early.” The voice came from above his head, and this time it was unquestionable.
Gu Chen opened his eyes and found Lu Xun squatting in front of him:
“Go back early, I’ll chase you earlier.” He said, and gently touched Gu Chen’s head, “Hmm?”
Gu Chen pursed his lips and looked into Lu Xun’s eyes. When he got closer, he found that there were countless red bloodshot under the whites of his eyes around his black eyes, like a dense net, It was so tight that I couldn't breathe.
After staring at each other for a long time, Gu Chen raised his arms and grasped Lu Xun's hands with his two small cotton hands: "When do you plan to do it?" Lu
Xun: "Now."
Gu Chen took a deep breath: "Can it be tomorrow?"
Seeing that Lu Xun didn't speak, Gu Chen couldn't help but speed up: "I want to make some flower cakes first, and say goodbye to the political science team. They may even hold a farewell party for me. After all, physics and English have already been done... and I still have two classes to record..."
His voice became softer and softer, and the ending tone was almost begging: "Wait until tomorrow?"
Lu Xun looked at the pair of pleading blue eyes, and tried his best to suppress his trembling hands with willpower, "Then tomorrow morning."
In the afternoon, the two returned home and saw Biology sitting alone on the sofa in the living room.
The huge TV screen opposite the sofa was showing the news: Two terrorists broke into the hospital under the institute, It is reported that their target is the famous biologist Hughes Chen, who has been in a coma for many years. All parties around the world are paying close attention to this matter. At present, the director of the Federal Secret Service...
Snap -
the creature seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned off the TV with the remote control, looking at the person and the baby beside him.
Creature: "You came in without making any noise, A Chinese Ghost Story?"
Lu Xun: "Menopause?"
Gu Chen looked around and smiled to smooth things over: "We called you, you were watching too seriously..."
Gu Chen said while looking around the living room.
The creature saw what he meant: "They went out to play."
Gu Chen turned back and asked the creature: "Is the transformation of mathematics ready?"
Creature: "Almost. The robot is working on it."
Gu Chen's eyelids drooped slightly, and his expression seemed a little lonely.
The creature jumped off the sofa and walked in front of him and Lu Xun: "I invented a new thing earlier."
As he said that, he took out a small ball-like thing from his pocket. It was dark purple and powdery, and looked like purple mochi.
Gu Chen blinked: "Is this edible?"
"The worry-relieving pill." The creature said the name he had just given it, "It can solve your problems to a certain extent."
Gu Chen's eyes lit up, and the flame of hope suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Xun stared at the thing that seemed to have fallen out of a witch's potion bottle: "Turn me into a doll too?"
"I think so." The creature said without hesitation, "After eating this, you will forget him... forget about us."
Gu Chen felt as if someone suddenly hit him hard on the head with a stick.
He turned his head suddenly.
Lu Xun stood there, with no expression on his face.
After a moment, he squatted down holding Gu Chen, stretched out his hand, and slowly picked up the pill lying in the palm of the creature's hand.
Gu Chen's breathing suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously grabbed Lu Xun's sleeve. After a while, he unconsciously loosened a little.
He stared blankly at the purple ball. If, if Lu Xun really chose to forget him, it seems...
not yet When he continued to think, he saw Lu Xun twisting the pill with his fingers and looking at it
for a while: "Why don't you forget yourself?" The creature looked at the pill that was suddenly pushed in front of him and immediately took two steps back: "He forgot you, and you forgot him. What's the saying of you Chinese people? It's better to forget each other than to help each other in times of trouble... Hmm."
The creature frowned, lowered his eyes and stared at the pill stuffed in his mouth, and took it out in a hurry.
Lu Xun ignored him and walked towards the inner room with Gu Chen in his arms: "Should we record the class first or make cakes?"
No response.
Lu Xun glanced into his arms, and the little guy was in a daze.
"Record the class first or make cakes?"
"Ah." Gu Chen woke up as if from a dream, "Let's record the class first."
Lu Xun sent Gu Chen to the room. Just after putting him down, Gu Chen turned around and rubbed his sleeve: "Why not wait until the day after tomorrow."
Gu Chen felt uneasy, and without waiting for Lu Xun to speak, he said: "I suddenly remembered that the last two classes are a bit difficult, and it will probably take a lot of time. And the political students haven't come back yet, and the farewell party may not be held today..." As
he spoke, he took two steps closer to Lu Xun: "The day after tomorrow?"
Lu Xun looked at the little baby who was staring at him, and said in a deep voice: "Remember what the hospital said?"
Gu Chen nodded hurriedly, as if he was afraid that Lu Xun would make up his mind and fill in the homework now: "I just... I'm afraid it's too late. The day after tomorrow will definitely be no problem!"
After Lu Xun left, Gu Chen quickly returned to the living room. , and found that Biology was still there.
Gu Chen: "Teacher."
Biology quickly turned off the news of terrorist attacks on his mobile phone.
He looked at the doll in front of him who was staring at him seriously, and suddenly remembered that when Gu Chen first came, he racked his brains to ask him how to go back, and he had a similar expression.
Biology suddenly had a bad premonition: "What?"
Ever since Lu Xun caught Gu Chen and Physics turning into humans making flower cakes in the kitchen last time, he asked Politics to order a batch of new kitchen utensils the next day.
Including storage tables and ovens, all equipment is highly compatible with the doll's body ergonomics to ensure that one doll can carry the entire process.
When Politics and the others came back, they just caught up with Gu Chen bringing out the freshly baked flower cakes.
Geography followed the fragrance and ran to the coffee table.
"It smells so good." He looked at the colorful cakes on the plate. The size was half of the previous ones, and the appearance was also very different. "This time it's so special."
"Really." History came over and looked at the cakes placed around the plate. There were heart-shaped cakes, five-pointed star-shaped cakes, and some even looked like puffs. The colors were different and the color was clear, very much like snow moon cakes.
Gu Chen curled his lips: "I changed the method, I wonder how it tastes."
Politics: "It looks like it can be on the Michelin list."
He picked a piece of orange peach heart, and History took the piece closest to him. He took a bite, and the dense texture of quicksand and the rich rose flavor spread in his mouth.
"Damn." History exclaimed, "This really deserves to be on the Michelin list!"
Geography stood on tiptoe, his eyes rolling over each pancake on the plate, and finally landed on the aqua blue crystal pancake farthest from him: "This is really beautiful, like the color of big brother's hair."
Gu Chen was stunned, and when he saw Geography reaching out to touch the pancake, his voice unconsciously rose: "This won't work!"
Geography was startled and puzzled: "Why?"
Gu Chen seemed to feel that he had overreacted a little, and subconsciously relaxed his tense shoulders: "... I wanted to try to make something different, so I added lotus seeds to the filling, which is very bitter."
"Ah." Geography frowned, "Forget it, I don't like bitter food."
Politics: "I like something a little bitter. Or give me..."
Gu Chen: "My progress bar is already 99.89%."
Politics paused.
Gu Chen: "I have to go back tomorrow morning."
Geography had just picked a new heart pancake, and when he heard this, his little hand trembled, and the pancake fell back onto the plate.
"Woo." Geography rushed forward and hugged Gu Chen's waist, burying his face in his chest, "No, no, I don't want big brother to go back!"
Gu Chen looked at the little one rubbing against him wildly, his eyes swollen: "It's okay, I will come back."
"Physics brother and English sister said the same thing, but they didn't come back." Geography rubbed harder and harder, his voice getting smaller and smaller, "Chemistry auntie too..."
Gu Chen pursed his lips, he hugged the little baby in his arms, and coaxed in a low voice: "Don't be sad, wait for me to go back, and bring them all here, okay?"
Geography raised his head, his pure brown pupils looking straight at Gu Chen: "Brother, keep your word."
"...Keep your word."
"So soon, you are going back too." History stepped forward and hugged Gu Chen, his tone a little melancholy, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and changed the subject, "Hey, if you become a human again, can you make more delicious food?"
"You only know how to eat." Politics knocked on History's head, pulled him away, leaned close to Gu Chen and whispered, "Did you use the finger sleeves I gave you last time?"
Gu Chen was caught off guard by the question, and the gloomy thoughts in his head were stuck.
His arm quickly slid down, and Gu Chen blocked Geography's ears. His voice was as quiet as a mosquito's: "Not yet."
"Not yet?" Zhengshi seemed very surprised. "Lu Xun is a very determined kid."
Gu Chen tried to explain: "We are not what you think."
"But he is a human being, and you are a child now. Maybe there is a species gap." Zhengshi ignored Gu Chen's explanation, stroking his chin and analyzing himself, "It's hard to say. Today is the last night, you have to be careful..."
"Be careful of what?" History came over curiously, "What are you talking about?"
"...Nothing." Zhengshi pinched his slightly hot ear, "I'm asking Gu Chen what major he wants to take in the college entrance examination."
"Don't take civil engineering." History said earnestly, "What do you want to take? We will help you with your advice."
Gu Chen paused: "I should study medicine."
History said, "Damn it," but he didn't have time to express his opinion.
"Gu Chen."
Lu Xun came over, holding a mini PVC transparent bag in his hand, which contained several small balls wrapped in laser paper.
Geography scurried over and looked through the bag: "Brother Lu, is this chocolate?"
Lu Xun squatted down: "Smart." He took the largest ball from the bag and gave it to Geography.
History: "What kind of chocolate is this? I don't think I've seen it in China."
Lu Xun: "My friend brought it back from Norway."
Geography blinked: "Where is Norway?"
Lu Xun paused, his eyes passed over Geography's head and fell into a clear blue: "A place where you can watch the aurora with the person you like."
Politics smiled and nudged Gu Chen twice.
"..." Gu Chen pretended not to understand.
Lu Xun took a chocolate ball from the small bag and gestured to him: "I don't know how to solve two problems. Can you help me look at them?"
Gu Chen nodded and picked up the plate on the coffee table: "Here are a few more cakes, why don't you eat them?" Lu Xun
was stuck on two math problems. Gu Chen thought of Mathematics, who was still lying in the laboratory undergoing transformation, and was a little absent-minded. He looked back and forth at a problem several times.
Lu Xun held his chin and looked at him intently.
It was going to rain in the evening. It was cloudy outside. There was only one desk lamp in the room. The scattered light from the incandescent lamp fell on the person and the child, and their shadows overlapped on the table.
"These two questions are a bit beyond the syllabus." Gu Chen spent five minutes to solve the two questions in his mind. "What step have you thought about now?"
Lu Xun roughly explained his thoughts. Gu Chen was a little surprised after listening: "Have you asked the AI?"
"No. The server is busy."
"Then you..." Gu Chen paused, "Have you ever been exposed to advanced mathematics before?"
After asking this question, Gu Chen himself felt a little funny. Lu Xun's ideas are indeed only found in advanced mathematics, but sometimes the human brain will come up with some strange ideas on its own, which does not necessarily mean anything.
He was about to change his words when he heard Lu Xun say, "I learned a little when I was a child."
Lu Xun's face was still expressionless as before, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Gu Chen felt that something seemed to flash in the other's eyes.
Surprised and puzzled, Gu Chen thought of Lu Xun's rapid progress in the past two months. He originally thought that Lu Xun was just smart and perceptive, but now he suddenly had a new guess.
"Are you?" Gu Chen lowered his voice and asked tentatively, "Have you been pretending to be a bad student?"
"..." Lu Xun looked at him cautiously, as if there was a third person in the room who was about to be eavesdropped, and couldn't help but curl his lips, "You are a real scumbag."
Lu Xun lowered his head, leaned forward slightly, and whispered, "If it weren't for you."
He was too close, and his breath brushed his face when he spoke. Gu Chen wanted to shrink back, but his body seemed to be stuck in place and couldn't move. Lu
Xun seemed to have no idea of his discomfort, and leaned forward a little more, his eyes swept across the upper right pocket of Gu Chen's shirt, and the laser candy wrapper was faintly visible inside.
"Don't like chocolate?" Lu Xun said, curling his lips, "I feed you?"
Gu Chen shook his head frantically and pushed the exercise book in front of Lu Xun: "You do the questions first."
The chocolate was not as sweet as imagined. It had a bit of salty taste of sea salt, rich and mellow. When it melted in the mouth, there were some subtle granular feelings.
Gu Chen tasted it for a while, but couldn't tell what it was.
Lu Xun: "Is it delicious?"
Gu Chen nodded: "Are the granules here sea salt?" Lu Xun
paused with his pen tip and said "hmm".
Gu Chen watched him finish two questions, and secretly pursed his lips: "Take a break."
He pushed the plate of flower cakes next to him forward: "It's a new flavor, and it's still a little hot."
There were three pieces left on the plate. Lu Xun scanned them and picked up the aqua blue crystal cake: "This is really beautiful."
Gu Chen's breath was slightly choked: "This is my new flavor. I added some cedar." As
he spoke, his shoulders unconsciously tensed, "I like this taste very much."
Lu Xun seemed to be very curious about the shape of the cake, and looked at it repeatedly.
Gu Chen felt his heartbeat gradually speed up, and tried to speak in a calm tone: "It's getting cold." As
soon as the voice fell, Lu Xun suddenly broke the cake into two pieces.
Gu Chen: ! !
Dark purple quicksand flowed out from the soft and glutinous dough.
Gu Chen's face turned pale.
"This cedar color is quite special." Lu Xun looked at Gu Chen and let the quicksand flow between his fingers. "Is the worry-relieving pill in front also this color?"
Gu Chen wanted to deny it, but when he saw Lu Xun's lowered mouth, he forced himself to hold it back.
"...I'm sorry." He thought he had been very careful, but he didn't expect that Lu Xun would still find out. To erase the memory of another person without permission is a punishment in the real world.
"You want me to forget you?" The boy's voice pressed against Gu Chen's ears, so deep that he almost dared not look up.
"I just..." Gu Chen lowered his eyes and whispered, "I just think it's fairer this way."
There was no sound from the other side for a long time.
Gu Chen's heart was beating, and he secretly raised his eyes. First he saw a piece of paper towel thrown to the side, and then a very faint woody and wild grass fragrance passed through his nose. Before Gu Chen could react, he felt something wet and hot touching the corner of his mouth.
Even if it was simulated, the texture of the doll's skin was still a little different from that of a real person. Lu Xun felt the delicate velvety feeling under his lips and rubbed it gently.
Gu Chen opened his eyes wide, and before he could react, Lu Xun had already distanced himself.
"It's quite soft." Lu Xun licked his inner lip lightly with the tip of his tongue, as if he was still a little unsatisfied. "The taste of a real person should be better."
Gu Chen blushed, wondering how Lu Xun could say such a thing calmly.
It's strange, although he is in the body of a doll now, but the feeling of being kissed seems to be similar to that of being a human... No, when he was a human, he was not kissed either. Xu Lian had never approached him. Luo Xingyuan liked to kiss his face when he was a child, but it was completely different from Lu Xun.
Lu Xun looked at Gu Chen who was standing there blankly, and slowly said: "Do you want it to be fair?"
Gu Chen was stunned. Seeing Lu Xun staring at him motionlessly, his eyes seemed both focused and deep under the light, and seemed to hide something that Gu Chen couldn't quite understand.
"To be fair..." Lu Xun slowly said, "Then shouldn't you kiss me too?"
Gu Chen didn't expect it to go this way. Putting himself in his shoes, the fact that he secretly drugged someone was quite a big deal. He originally thought that Lu Xun would be very angry after finding out, but now... I can't say it's exactly the same as usual, but overall, it seems to be okay.
Gu Chen looked at Lu Xun, and was struggling whether to go up and kiss him to get over it completely. Suddenly, a strong sense of sleepiness hit his head.
He couldn't help but yawn. I didn't sleep well the whole night last night, so it's normal to feel sleepy at this time, but this sleepiness is really fierce. After Gu Chen yawned, he felt his head heavier.
"Do you want to sleep for a while?" Lu Xun pointed to the bed behind him.
Gu Chen shook his head. He didn't have much time left. He had to come up with a solution before the day after tomorrow. Either convince Lu Xun to let him stay for a while, or use a method similar to the worry-relieving pills... He didn't want to do that. It was not righteous and disrespectful. And privately, he didn't want Lu Xun to forget him at all. But reason told him that it was best.
His head suddenly hurt. Gu Chen: "I'll go drink some water and be back soon."
He jumped off the table, opened the door, and before he walked out, he heard Lu Xun's voice behind him: "Gu Chen."
Gu Chen turned his head and saw Lu Xun squatting not far away. As the sun sets, the orange-yellow light shines into the house through the window, falling into the boy's dark eyes, gentle and firm: "I like you."
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly Lu Xun's eyes flashed through his mind, and then he remembered the chocolate he had just eaten. An ominous premonition quickly surged into his heart along with the increasing sleepiness.
In an instant, it seemed as if a thunderbolt struck Gu Chen's intuition out of nowhere.
"...Don't." Gu Chen murmured, and ran two steps in the direction of Lu Xun in fear and panic.
Pah -
the doll fell to the ground face down unexpectedly.
There was silence all around, as if all the air had been sucked out. With the doll as the center, all the colors and objects around were swallowed up by the hazy white light.
Lu Xun looked at the little thing lying not far away, and after a moment, he raised his hand and covered his face tremblingly.
*
When Gu Chen woke up, he saw a vast expanse of white.
"Brother!" The boy's clear voice seemed to sound from a point far away, then it got closer and closer, from blurry to clear, and finally focused on his eardrum, "Brother!"
For a few seconds, Gu Chen's mind was blank, and the whole person seemed to be floating in a void.
Until the repeated calls came from the side. Gu Chen tilted his head slightly and saw the boy leaning on his bed: "...Xiaoyuan."
He heard that his voice was very hoarse, as if a person who had never spoken had just learned how to speak.
Luo Xingyuan's eyes trembled, and he groaned, and most of his body leaned on Gu Chen: "Brother, you're awake! You're finally awake!!"
Gu Chen looked at the little head arched in front of his eyes, and recalled the moment before he lost consciousness. It seemed that he saw Qi Xiang and the others arguing with several people from No. 4 Middle School, and then fell down the stairs. Before he fainted, he seemed to see a person carrying a large schoolbag...
"Xiaochen!"
Gu Chen tilted his head.
Han Xiu pushed the door open and saw the boy on the bed with his eyes open. He was surprised and said, "You're awake?!"
"...Uncle Han." Gu Chen was stunned for two seconds, and a smile slowly appeared on his face. However, he saw the person behind Han Xiu. His expression suddenly froze, "...Mom."
Xu Lian nodded, and seeing Luo Xingyuan and Han Xiu looking at him, she added, "I'm awake. How do you feel?"
Gu Chen pretended not to notice the stiffness in her tone, "Very good..."
After that, he added with ulterior motives, "Just a little dizzy, and no strength in the body."
"After all, he just woke up." Xu Lian walked to the bed, picked up Luo Xingyuan who was lying on Gu Chen, and hugged him in his arms, and said to Han Xiu, "Please help him."
Gu Chen's eyelids drooped slightly.
Han Xiu pretended not to notice the strange atmosphere, stepped forward to help Gu Chen check carefully, and asked several questions before he felt relieved: "The basic indicators are fine, and the physical symptoms should be relieved in two days. If you still feel uncomfortable, feel free to press the bell."
Han Xiu gestured to the green button on Gu Chen's bedside and smiled slightly: "Uncle is here at your call."
Gu Chen chuckled: "Thank you, Uncle Han."
Han Xiu looked at the boy's well-behaved appearance and couldn't help but touch his head: "You're finally awake. You've been in a coma for three months..."
"I was unconscious for three months?" Gu Chen was stunned, and was about to say something but stopped.
Han Xiu thought he was scared, and just when he was about to comfort him, he saw Gu Chen glance at Xu Lian.
Xu Lian resisted the urge to avoid his eyes.
Gu Chen seemed to have seen through it, and after just one glance, he cast his eyes on Luo Xingyuan: "Is Universal Studios fun?"
Luo Xingyuan was stunned, and noticed the disappointment in Gu Chen's eyes, and hurriedly said: "We haven't been there yet! Mom last month..."
Xu Lian: "I'm going to the bathroom."
There was a sound of closing the door behind him. Han Xiu saw that Gu Chen was a little at a loss, and just when he was about to say something to comfort him, he saw Luo Xingyuan secretly pressing his mobile phone next to him.
"Xingyuan." Han Xiu seemed serious, "You are still playing with your mobile phone at this time, be careful, I will tell your mother later."
"I'm not playing." Luo Xingyuan's fingers flew off the keyboard, and he looked like a veteran, "Brother is awake, I'll tell Brother Lu."
"Brother Lu?" Han Xiu was stunned, "Which Brother Lu?"
After speaking, he asked himself and answered: "Lu Xun?"
Luo Xingyuan nodded.
Han Xiu was very surprised: "How do you know him?"
"Hehe." Luo Xingyuan was mysterious, and raised his chin proudly: "I have a surprise you don't know about."
Han Xiu: "...Don't steal Aunt Wang's phone to watch TV series every day."
"That." Gu Chen listened to the conversation between the two, his face full of confusion, "The Lu Xun you are talking about, is he Lu Xun from our class?"
