It seems that the villain is targeting me.

She took a step back and subconsciously hid herself in deeper darkness.

This is not because the doctor wants to escape subjectively, but more of a body instinct. She wanders in this world like a ghost, so naturally she has acquired the habits of a ghost.

Xiao Niao was completely unaware, as if he didn't notice the other party's unconscious little movements at all.

"...Obviously, you know me better than I do," she said. "Can I ask a question?"

The doctor didn't say anything. She stood there motionless, her eyes looking in an unknown direction.

Xiao Niao thought: Okay, I'll just take it as her consent.

What should I ask? To be honest, the first thought that came to her mind was 'Why did you kiss me that day'...

But it was a bit embarrassing to ask this now. Xiao Niao didn't want their communication to be stuck in a dead end from the beginning.

No one knows what has happened outside yet, so she needs to confirm as soon as possible whether this person is a friend or an enemy... and whether he can help her.

Xiao Niao thought for a moment and then asked politely, "Why are you at the Fun Hotel?"

doctor:"……"

In the next half minute, Dr. Chen summarized the entire process of witnessing Gu Tianjiao's kidnapping in extremely concise words, and described the reason for his stay in the hotel in this way.

Putting aside questions like 'Why didn't you call the police?' and 'Why did you specifically target these two people?', what she said was quite logical.

"So... you thought she was very suspicious, so that's why you followed her here?" Xiao Niao repeated the doctor's words hesitantly.

To be fair, Lu Yao was indeed suspicious - no matter whether the person was dead or alive, stuffing a person into a trash can was something that no normal person would do - any normal person would have nightmares for three nights just by seeing it.

Xiao Niao seemed to agree with the doctor's statement and did not ask any further questions about the suspicious points with logical loopholes.

"Okay, I think I understand."

She stood up slowly and took a few steps in a certain direction.

"But there's one thing I don't quite understand..."

Xiao Niao silently estimated the distance in her mind. The doctor looked at her and his body trembled unconsciously, as if he realized what she was going to do.

"I just find it strange...why do we have to turn off the lights to talk?"

The fancy ceiling light in the room lit up, shining a somewhat dazzling light on the two people's faces.

Xiao Niao's eyes immediately turned to the doctor's position and locked onto her face.

From the beginning, Xiao Niao noticed that this person did not want to be seen by him.

It was the same when I controlled her before. Those movements were not so much a struggle as an attempt to turn his head away to avoid being seen from the front by her.

Is she someone he knows? Or is 'her face' also a kind of information in some way?

This guy is really full of mysteries...

Well, let's take a look at who this person is.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Niao quietly approached the light button.

At that time, hotels did not have the technology of swiping cards to enter or plugging cards to power the room.

The lights are controlled in the usual way using the buttons at the door.

The bird's steps were actually very deliberate, and the doctor actually noticed it when it was about to press the button.

But for some reason, she did not immediately rush over to stop Xiao Niao, but just stood there, letting the ceiling light come on.

She didn't turn around or cover her face with her head.

On the contrary, she stood there quietly, meeting the other person's gaze, as if she was waiting for some kind of judgment.

In the light of the ceiling light, Xiaoniao could see her face clearly.

A few seconds passed. #$) Do not stay, order to lead the % ride / afternoon {} ０℃

She clearly saw a confused look on Xiao Niao's face.

Doctor Chen's heart shrank bitterly.

She had actually anticipated this result: in this reincarnation, Xiao Niao didn't recognize herself at all, let alone remember what happened in the past.

No, for the bird, it should be 'something that never happened'.

Ah, so that's how it is. I've been left behind again...

She was a bit dazed, and her mind flashed through the reincarnation of the past few decades like a revolving lantern, from the hopeful search at the beginning to the gradual numbness of the cold reality...

The doctor was not unable to understand, and she had also made psychological expectations in advance: even if Xiao Niao really had no memory of herself, she would appear in front of her again and again.

No matter if they were to get to know each other again or anything else, she would definitely stay with Xiaoniao without hesitation.

This person was once all her beautiful visions of the "future". In the doctor's stagnant life plan, the bird was present in almost every step.

She once used all her courage and enthusiasm to build that future... She grew taller like a new branch, until her arms lost those ugly scars and could easily wrap around the bird's not-so-broad shoulders.

All her efforts and patience were for the purpose of standing in front of that man and proving that what she said when she was young was true.

She is serious, always has been.

She wants the seriousness of getting married, the seriousness of being able to see you the first thing after waking up, and she wants to treat the person she loves most like kissing a soft feather.

Finally, as if he was tired of such nagging, or perhaps he finally realized that she was "already an adult", the man agreed to her half-helplessly and half-indulgently.

She almost had it all—but it was all being torn apart before her.

Now, this scene seemed to be repeated in another form: more cruel, more desperate, just like that, turning her existence into a blank, without anyone remembering it.

It’s okay, it’s okay, Doctor Chen tried his best to encourage himself, Teacher, she is still alive, right?

That's good, that's enough.

I don’t have anything else to ask for, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember me.

It’s okay if you don’t remember, it’s okay…

I still... remember the teacher...

It seemed as if she could no longer control herself, and physiological tears flowed out without her permission, blurring her vision little by little.

Just when the mist in his eyes was about to solidify, Xiao Niao looked up in surprise as if he suddenly remembered something.

Her light brown pupils were filled with disbelief, as if she couldn't believe what she saw.

"You," Xiao Niao murmured repeatedly, "You, you are... Doctor Chen?"

Doctor Chen: “…” Sobbing.

Doctor Chen: "Huh?"

Chapter 82 Everyone Has Their Own Opinions

Xiao Niao was really a little scared.

She would rather someone come to her and tell her that there was actually something wrong with her eyes and she just recognized the wrong person.

After all, this is totally illogical.

How could someone she knew in the real world be in this place?

When Xiao Niao saw this face for the first time, she was confused for a few seconds: there was still some impression in her mind that she had indeed seen this person somewhere, but she couldn't match the face with the name for a while.

It is actually normal for her to be like this. If you see your neighbor's childhood sweetheart in a popular anime series, your brain will short-circuit and you will feel unbelievable for a moment.

Xiao Niao still remembers the doctor Chen Xiaoyue in the real world, and is even quite impressed by him.

The other person claimed to be her friend and had taken good care of her while Xiaoniao was still in the hospital.

Xiao Niao only found out later that she was almost entirely cared for by doctors during her coma, and all the messy procedures when she was admitted to the hospital were handled by Chen Xiaoyue.

When the bird just returned to reality, everything around it was still very unfamiliar to it, and it couldn't even speak its native language fluently.

The presence of such a 'friend' undoubtedly eased her uneasy mood.

Xiao Niao was very grateful for Chen Xiaoyue's help.

She also thought that when her life got back on track, she would thank the other party properly.

But the person she wanted to thank showed up here, at the completely wrong place at the completely wrong time.

Xiao Niao now felt dizzy as if someone had hit him on the back of the head with a brick.

She still had a little hope, thinking that

There was no way I was mistaken. The person in front of me just looked like Dr. Chen, not Dr. Chen himself.

"you you……"

The person in front of him seemed to be in a state of confusion, as if he had been bullied and looked like he was about to cry.

"...You still recognize me?" She spoke intermittently, her voice choking with sobs. "Really? You haven't forgotten me..."

...It really is Dr. Chen.

Xiao Niao thought: Not only have I not forgotten you, my real body is still lying on the sofa in your house.

But why was the doctor here? Was this some strange bug? Was Chen Xiaoyue accidentally dragged into this world?

Xiao Niao was thinking wildly in his head.

"How could I forget so quickly?" she said subconsciously, "I'm almost living in your house..."

Chen Xiaoyue's heart trembled.

Yes, yes... there's no mistake, it's her teacher...

After becoming an adult, Chen Xiaoyue plucked up the courage to invite Xiaoniao to live with her.

The latter agreed at that time.

Her heart was pounding, and she was immersed in a vortex of happiness. She could hardly wait to adjust the layout of the house.

The luggage and other items were moved in in advance, and new bedding was purchased, just waiting for their owners to arrive.

...She later spent a long time disposing of these relics bit by bit.

The numbness and despair that filled my heart at that time are still vivid in my mind today.

Chen Xiaoyue shuddered and shook her head vigorously, as if trying to drive out those chaotic memories from her mind.

She still couldn't believe it - she couldn't believe that such a lucky thing would happen to her - she had tasted the bitterness of despair in the reincarnation of more than ten years, and no longer dared to believe the illusion that fate casually threw in front of her.

"...Is it really you, birdie?"

Chen Xiaoyue's voice trembled slightly. "Do you remember what happened before?"

Xiao Niao was feeling very puzzled at the moment.

She was somewhat wary of Chen Xiaoyue who suddenly appeared here.

Although the other party did not hurt him from beginning to end, this was still an unexpected event that was completely beyond Xiao Niao's expectations.

You have to know that this world is based on a romance novel - people he knows in real life appear in the novel. Xiao Niao's mood at this time can no longer be simply described as "surprised and confused".

And now the system was offline for unknown reasons, and no one could answer her doubts. Xiao Niao was at a loss for a moment and had no idea how to treat Dr. Chen.

"How did you get here?" Xiao Niao couldn't help but ask.

This sentence was ambiguous, and Xiao Niao chose his words carefully: "I mean... this is not the era we live in, right? Do you remember what happened when you appeared here?"

She still didn't know the doctor's background and didn't want to expose the system and mission, so she used "era" instead of "world" as a reference.

Chen Xiaoyue listened to Xiaoniao very seriously, and her body movements were now very relaxed - Xiaoniao's words seemed to have a soothing effect on her to some extent.

So that's how it is. She clenched her palms and tried hard to control her trembling body.

It turns out that the teacher is... the same as me.

Did she suddenly return to the past?

Two seconds.

But in just two seconds, the doctor had already figured out a lot of things based on the bird's two short sentences:

The teacher seemed to be trapped in the time loop just like me - the teacher did not forget me, but I don’t know why she appeared now - she was taking care of me when I was a child - the teacher really liked me the most.

"I don't remember clearly..."

Chen Xiaoyue spoke softly, her dark eyes fixed on the bird without blinking.

"My mind was in a mess, and then I ended up here."
