Chapter 351: Awakening And Choices (Bonus Chapter For Starlit Night Scene ⑥)
In reality, Chi Xiaocheng had been lying in the hospital bed for two days and two nights.
She hadn't woken up since being hypnotized.
This had Su Tao as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
If the data from the monitoring devices attached to Chi Xiaocheng hadn't all been normal, Su Tao really wouldn't have been able to hold on.
Even Dongfang Wen began to doubt his own professional skill level.
There was no doubt that his previous deduction was wrong. Chi Xiaocheng wasn't faking amnesia; she really had lost her memory. Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen asleep instantly after being hypnotized.
But according to Su Tao and the others, Chi Xiaocheng had only lost her memory for a few months, and she should only sleep for an hour or two, even if there were other forgotten things they didn't know about.
She should have woken up after five or six hours at most.
But what about now?
She had been asleep for two days and two nights!
What exactly was she remembering that could take so long?
Su Tao stayed by Chi Xiaocheng's side day and night, even sleeping next to Chi Xiaocheng's bed, afraid that something might happen to the girl she cared so much about.
Besides, she still remembered a sentence Chi Xiaocheng had once said.
"I hope that when I wake up, I can see my beloved Tao Tao by my side."
Now, I'm waiting for you to wake up.
Waiting for you to regain your memory.
Waiting for you to call out "Tao Tao" and then hug me with tears in your eyes.
I will gently lick away your tears and then kiss your lips.
Expressing my love to you.
However, she had been guarding her for two days and still hadn't seen the girl in the bed wake up.
In these two days, many things had happened outside.
Chi Song had taken a large group of people, found Chu Lingfeng's lair, and burned it all to the ground, only to discover that Chu Lingfeng was nowhere to be found.
After careful investigation, he realized that Chu Lingfeng had already fled the capital the day before to avoid the storm.
That place was truly a place where dragons and tigers had to coil, and Chi Song couldn't reach it at all.
He could only sigh with regret.
Afterward, to cooperate with the plan, he joined forces with Si Chen and Dongfang Yang to put on a show. As a hoodlum, he accidentally killed Si Zhenliu, the current head of the Si family of Kyushu Consortium, during a "robbery."
This was a vicious incident, and Dongfang Yang immediately arrested Chi Song.
Because of his personal hatred for these evildoers and because he was a good friend of the Si family, he accidentally "killed" the leader of this group of thugs during law enforcement.
Si Chen had no choice but to express his condolences to the clan elders while tearfully accepting the assets and rights of the Si family of Kyushu Consortium.
The speed was so fast that it didn't even wait for his older brother to send someone to Kyushu Consortium.
It was Chu Lingfeng's injuring Chi Xiaocheng that made everyone vigilant.
At least their own territory had to be absolutely safe!
At the same time, registration for the new semester began.
Students from Kyushu University returned to school one after another. Although Su Tao also wanted to go to school to sign Chi Xiaocheng's name first, she couldn't leave the girl now. She had to stay by her side.
...
Another night passed, and it was the morning of the third day.
The sky outside was tinged with a hint of fish-belly white, and a cool breeze drifted in through the cracks in the window.
Winter was ending, and spring was coming.
It was almost March, and new buds were starting to grow everywhere.
People on the streets no longer had to wear heavy down jackets, and girls' outfits became more diverse again.
At this moment, Chi Xiaocheng, who was lying on the bed, slowly woke up.
As she opened her eyes, she felt someone holding her hand tightly.
A strand of hair fell onto her wrist.
It was a little itchy, but very comfortable.
Slightly turning her head, Chi Xiaocheng saw Su Tao sitting on a small stool, sleeping soundly with her head resting on the edge of her bed.
She gave a slight smile, not wanting to wake Su Tao, so she simply lay still, while calling out in her mind, "System."
[Host, I'm here.]
"Where's Xiao Hei?"
She still didn't open her mouth, but Xiao Hei seemed to be able to read her thoughts. Soon, a voice that only she could hear came from her ear, "Why are you calling me?"
Xiao Hei was still wearing that familiar formal dress. She was standing at the corner of Chi Xiaocheng's pillow, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, looking bored and constantly yawning.
Chi Xiaocheng softly asked, "Aren't you going to explain the memory I dreamed about?"
That memory was very real, but it wasn't complete.
Chi Xiaocheng felt like it had been a very long time. She should have been immersed in it, but it was more like watching a movie.
She understood a lot.
At the same time, she also had many questions.
Xiao Hei explained, "You probably understand that the one you dreamed of was indeed yourself. You have always been you. There is no such thing as the original owner, Xiao Cheng. How you understand your identity is up to you."
"Secondly, you should have some vagueness about this memory. There are too many painful things in that memory. You will dream of and find those memories."
"But you will also have a portion of your emotions blocked, just like you took an emotional numbing pill. Otherwise, those painful and desperate things would be enough to break you."
"To put it more simply, most of those memories are painful. You only need to understand them, not over-recall them."
"Enjoying the present is the most important thing."
As for those painful memories, I will keep them complete for you.
Xiao Hei didn't say the last sentence, but she clearly explained the current situation to Chi Xiaocheng.
She was her, even the person and the memory in the small world were her.
The her there was also real, and the memory existed, except that that world was virtual.
It was precisely understanding this point that made Chi Xiaocheng want to laugh.
So, the thing she had always been internally struggling with, whether Tao Tao really liked "her," didn't need to be considered too much at all.
She liked Tao Tao.
And Tao Tao was gradually falling in love with the current her.
The memory with some emotions blocked made Chi Xiaocheng feel complicated, but more importantly, it was the girl in front of her.
She vaguely remembered that she had been with Tao Tao before, and they had confessed their love to each other.
But...
The will of the world wouldn't let her succeed.
The more she understood, the clearer Chi Xiaocheng's thoughts became.
If she wanted to truly be with Su Tao, she either had to wait for a rich female supporting character to appear, and the will of the world would favor that rich woman, thereby ignoring or even abandoning Tao Tao.
Or, lower the importance of Tao Tao's role!
While she was thinking, Xiao Hei spoke up from the side, "You've been asleep for three days, and Su Tao has been waiting here for three days. She can't wait to know if you've regained your memory."
"Of course, you know which memory I'm talking about."
Xiao Hei looked at Chi Xiaocheng, "And now you're awake, and it's time to face Su Tao."
"So, what are you going to do?"
Was she going to stop faking amnesia, confess her feelings to Su Tao, and be with the girl who was also a little sick?
Or...try a more extreme way?
