Chapter 43 New Year Dumplings(1/2)
Qian Yan lingered at the door of Gou Shun's house for more than ten minutes before finally pushing the door open.
Gou Shun sat quietly on the bed, but he did not hang his legs under the bed like usual. At this time, his legs were crossed together, more like he was meditating.
Gou Shun raised his head and glanced at Qian Yan, without saying anything, and lowered his head again.
"Are you okay?" Qian Yan asked casually not knowing what to say.
Gou Shun ignored her.
Qian Yan walked to the bed, looked at Gou Shun and asked, "Do you hate me?"
"It's not you who locked me up here, why should I hate you?" Gou Shun replied without raising his head.
"Then do you blame me?"
"As you said, it's not you who has the final say whether to let me go or not. I don't blame you."
"Then are you still willing to go to Aunt Bai's house?"
"Let's go." Gou Shun said, got out of bed and put on his shoes.
"Why are you still going to Aunt Bai's house?" Qian Yan thought Gou Shun would not go, because Gou Shun is no longer as obedient as when he first came here.
"To make you give up," Gou Shun said, already taking the lead to go out.
Gou Shun walked to Aunt Bai's house and put the helmet on his head without saying a word.
Seeing this, Aunt Bai turned on the music and moved the swing ball of the pendulum.
Gou Shun was sitting in a classroom studying calculus by himself. Suddenly he felt as if someone was walking next to him. He looked up and found that it was An Ran.
An Ran was wearing a white coat and was smiling at him, her eyes curved into two crescent moons.
Seeing this, Gou Shun quickly cleared the seat next to him and let An Ran sit down.
After An Ran sat down, she suddenly hugged Gou Shun's arm, looked at Gou Shun with a smile, and said softly: "Gou Shun, I like you."
After Gou Shun heard this, his face suddenly felt hot, and he turned his head to the other side in embarrassment.
However, the moment Gou Shun turned his head, he saw a woman standing at the door of the classroom. The woman was wearing a bright red dress and smiling at him.
But that smile was full of despair and helplessness, more like a bitter smile. The woman Gou Shun recognized was Xia Rushi. At this time, Xia Rushi looked very strange.
Xia Rushi saw Gou Shun looking at her and said to Gou Shun, "Gou Shun, do you know? I was hurt so badly by Zhao Chengxiang, and I have no motivation to live anymore."
Gou Shun just wanted to talk to her, but Xia Rushi turned around and left from the classroom door. Gou Shun ran to the classroom door and found that there was no one in the corridor of the teaching building.
Gou Shun turned around in confusion, only to find that An Ran was no longer in the classroom. He ran back to his seat and found that there was no trace of An Ran at all.
Gou Shun suddenly became very anxious. Where was An Ran? She was still here just now, where did she go?
Gou Shun was thinking as he ran towards the classroom door. He wanted to find An Ran.
But the moment Gou Shun stepped out of the classroom door, he felt that his foot was empty. He looked down and saw that he was falling into a bottomless abyss.
"Ah!" Gou Shun yelled and kicked his leg forward involuntarily, hitting the table with a single table in front of him. He kicked the table flying out and almost hit Qian Yan and Qian Yan on the side.
Aunt Bai.
A feeling of pain came over him, and Gou Shun opened his eyes.
Gou Shun looked confused and said impatiently: "Where am I? Where is An Ran? Where is Xia Rushi?"
No one answered him. After looking around for a few times, he gradually calmed down, took a long breath, and said to himself: "It turned out to be a dream."
Seeing that Gou Shun had calmed down, Qian Yan asked cautiously: "Gou Shun, are you okay?"
Gou Shun nodded.
Seeing this, Qian Yan looked at Aunt Bai and asked, "Aunt Bai, is there any useful information in that memory fragment just now?"
Aunt Bai shook her head and said, "Yan'er, that's not a memory, it's just a dream. It's no different from the dreams we have. It has no logic or rationality."
"Dream? But there are An Ran and Xia Rushi in it." Qian Yan was a little confused.
"Yes, it's just an ordinary nightmare for Gou Shun. As we said before, dreams cannot belong to memories, but are just a reflection of the subconscious. Ever since Gou Shun accepted the transmitted memory, his subconscious told himself to save An Ran.
and Xia Rushi, so under the control of this subconscious mind, Gou Shun had the dream just now."
After hearing this, Qian Yan nodded and asked, "Gou Shun started dreaming. Does this prove that all the transmitted memories have been received?"
"I think so." Aunt Bai replied.
"However, we still have many unanswered questions."
"We only have so much information, so let's take it slow. I think we should find Quan Zhendong. He should be a useful clue." Aunt Bai said.
"Then Gou Shun doesn't need to be hypnotized anymore?"
"Yes, there's no need to come." Aunt Bai said, and then said to Gou Shun: "Shunzi, if you dream of something strange when you sleep in the future, you must tell me in time."
Gou Shun did not agree to Aunt Bai, but said lightly: "Can I go back now?"
"Of course, Yan'er, send Shunzi back to rest. There's only so much information Gou Shun can provide, the rest is up to us to study."
After Gou Shun returned to the house, he looked at Qian Yan and said, "Aunt Bai just said that there is only so much information I can provide you. I have no value to you anymore, right?"
"But if you return to society, it may be a factor of instability. As long as this factor exists, it is not suitable to go out." Qian Yan said.
"Do you think so?" Gou Shun asked, looking into Qian Yan's eyes.
"It's them."
"Superior? Leader? Okay, I understand." Gou Shun's tone seemed relatively calm.
Qian Yan looked at Gou Shun and said nothing. Even Gou Shun's calmness made her look a little uneasy.
"What I want to do most right now is to go out, but you can't let me go out. Why are you still staying here with me now?" Gou Shun seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Qian Yan.
Qian Yan hesitated for a moment and walked out of the house. She remembered that when Gou Shun first came here, he needed to be enlightened by himself before he dared to speak. But now Gou Shun seems to have lost that cowardice and fear.
But this made Qian Yan feel even more frightened. She even felt that the calmness in Gou Shun's tone just now was a kind of giving up on them, a kind of giving up hope that they could not hope for anything.
Qian Yan once hoped that Gou Shun would no longer be cowardly, but now he is no longer cowardly, but is this a good thing?
For three days in a row, Qian Yan didn't come to see Gou Shun again. She didn't know whether it was because Gou Shun no longer had any important information, or because she didn't know what to say to Gou Shun.
Gou Shun has been staying in the house. Without those real dreams, he will still dream of An Ran and Xia Rushi every night, but he will soon forget them after he wakes up.
On the day of the New Year, the research center was as usual, there was no joy, no one was celebrating, and it was as deserted as usual. After all, this place didn't even have the concept of day and night, so how could there be a concept of New Year.
Gou Shun was lying on the bed. He could not get rid of those two women, no, more precisely, two girls.
Has Xia Rushi returned from Dongli Country? Is she still with Zhao Chengxiang?
An Ran must be celebrating the New Year with her family at this time. She must be very beautiful in new clothes.
Just as Gou Shun was thinking about it, the door was pushed open and Qian Yan appeared at the door.
I saw that she was not wearing her usual uniform, but was wearing light yellow casual clothes. She looked much more beautiful than usual. At this time, she was holding a basket in her hand. She did not come in directly, but stood at the door and looked at Gou.
Shun.
"Why are you here?" Gou Shun asked curiously.
"Can't I come?" Qian Yan asked.
"But today is the Chinese New Year, shouldn't you be with your family?"
"I'm worried about you. You guys want to come and take a look."
"Oh." Gou Shun suddenly felt a touch of emotion in his heart.
"Can I come in?" Qian Yan said in a pleading tone.
"The entire research center belongs to you, do you still need my permission to come in?" Gou Shun's tone was still a little cold. After all, if you can't get out, you won't be in a good mood.
After hearing this, Qian Yan hesitated for a moment and said with some worry: "If you don't like me, I won't go in."
After Gou Shun heard this, he looked at the aggrieved Qian Yan at the door and felt that he had gone too far. He got up from the bed and said, "No, it's my bad attitude. Come in."
Qian Yan walked into the room, pulled the bedside table forward, and took out a large plastic food box and two small bowls from the basket. Then he opened the lid of the plastic box and filled it with
It's dumplings.
"There is food in the research center." Gou Shun said while looking at the dumplings.
"I know, but today is the Chinese New Year. There is a custom in my hometown. You must eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Only in this way can you have good luck in the new year and your wishes will come true. Although the research center has food, but the people here
If there are too many, I won’t be able to make dumplings for you.”
"Did you bring these dumplings from home?" Gou Shun asked curiously.
"I didn't go home. I made these dumplings myself." Qian Yan replied.
"Why didn't you go home? Is it because of me?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's because I haven't figured out some things and I'm not in the mood to go back."
After hearing Qian Yan's words, Gou Shun felt a little guilty. Qian Yan had been taking care of him and caring about him since arriving at the research center, but recently, he couldn't control himself and lost his temper with her.
"Okay, eat quickly, it will get cold in a while." Qian Yan looked at Gou Shun and said.
"But, this is too much, I can't eat it."
