It seems that the villain is targeting me.

Xiao Niao: "Isn't this too..."

Chen Xiaoyue said seriously: "There's only a trash can."

Xiao Niao: “…”

OK.

She sighed inexplicably and took out her cell phone from her pocket.

--------

A few minutes later.

The door of Gu's Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. was suddenly pushed open, and a subordinate dressed in black hurriedly walked towards the boss's office.

The subordinate walked in a hurry, without looking around, and waved away the two big men who were acting as security at the door, and pushed the door open.

The door to the boss's office.

"Sister Lan!"

The subordinate's forehead was covered in sweat, and it was unclear whether it was because of nervousness or anxiety.

"Sister Lan," the subordinate repeated breathlessly, "Master...Master has been found!"

Gu Yilan raised his head when he heard this, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

"Found it?" she asked calmly, "Where did you find it?"

The subordinate, who was originally impatient, was suddenly stuck and stammered, unable to say anything for a long time.

Gu Yilan's heart tightened, thinking that there was some bad news: for example, the body found was not a living person, but her son's body.

She pursed her lips, forced herself to calm down, and was about to continue asking questions when she heard her subordinate utter three words.

The subordinate said: "Trash can."

Gu Yilan: “?”

The subordinate's expression was as if he was constipated: "The young master was found in the trash can."

Gu Yilan: "Ah?"

Chapter 87 She is unwilling to give up

After the call was connected, the matter was resolved unexpectedly and very quickly.

It didn't take long before Xiao Niao saw the person coming to pick up Gu Tianjiao.

After being asked a few simple questions, two strong men in black came out, pinching their noses and frowning their faces as they lifted their young master into the car.

Just as Xiaoniao had expected, without alerting the police or even the school, Young Master Gu was taken away quickly, leaving only the empty trash can there, as if nothing had happened.

Even after the car door closed, the leader tried to give Xiaoniao hush money: thanking her for finding the person and asking her not to tell anyone about it.

[…Do you think it’s too embarrassing if this gets out?] The system couldn’t help but complain.

"No, don't forget they are gangsters," Xiao Niao replied softly, "They probably think this is revenge from their enemies."

She didn't ask for the money to keep her mouth shut, and rejected it seriously with the legitimate reason that "teachers can't accept money from students' parents."

The real reason is that Xiao Niao doesn't want to have any business dealings with these people from the bottom of his heart.

There is absolutely no benefit in accepting this kind of money; instead, it may mean endless troubles later on.

Even from the perspective of personal likes and dislikes - as the former maker and maintainer of order, what she hates most is this kind of street urchin who bullies men and women and exploits loopholes in society!

And after solemnly rejecting the other party... I took the bus back to school.

Yes, because I forgot to bring money when I went out, the doctor bought the ticket for me.

When negotiating with those people before, Chen Xiaoyue did not show up - for the purpose of protecting the other party, Xiao Niao did not let the doctor's face be seen by those people.

Of course, Xiao Niao didn’t know that even if those people saw Chen Xiaoyue, they would lose all impression of her in half an hour at most.

The two people then separated temporarily and then met near the station.

"Well...I will return the money to you when I get back."

Xiao Niao lowered his eyebrows with some regret and said unwillingly.

Chen Xiaoyue had already bought the tickets from the bus conductor. She handed one of them to Xiaoniao and then squeezed onto the bus with her.

It happened to be the lunch rush hour, and there were a lot of people on the bus. The two of them struggled to squeeze into the back row. Chen Xiaoyue reached for the safety pull ring on the top, while Xiao Niao held the handrail by the door.

Xiao Niao felt a little surprised. She had rarely taken the bus in this era. When she was born, all public transportation used electronic payment. In developed cities, even mobile phones were not required. People could get on the bus just by scanning their faces.

She carefully folded the ticket in her hand as proof of purchase and put it in her trouser pocket.

When she looked up again, she found the doctor looking at her.

Hmm... I feel like it's been a while since I last saw Dr. Chen, and he seems to have become a little younger than before.

"...I almost forgot," Xiao Niao leaned closer, "You haven't told me how long you've been here."

"Do you have anywhere to go?" she asked.

Chen Xiaoyue's heart tightened slightly.

She suddenly recalled the day when her reincarnation was about to begin. She had been planning and lurking for several months, and then she took revenge with her own hands in the most cruel way.

The doctor still remembers the exposed section of trachea, which was very moist and dark red, constantly spasming and trembling, and occasionally oozing out a small amount of blood.

For the next ten minutes, Chen Xiaoyue just stood there, watching the new president of Gu Group struggle and scream until he choked to death on his own blood.

Dirty black blood splattered all over her hands, but she didn't feel the slightest joy of revenge in her heart.

She killed someone and became the person the teacher least wanted to see.

To this day, she can't even remember how many times she has done this.

Perhaps she had already changed beyond recognition.

"No," Chen Xiaoyue whispered, "I have nowhere to go... I don't know anyone here."

A hint of apology flashed between Xiao Niao's brows.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault that you got involved in this," she said. "It must be hard being here alone, right?"

Chen Xiaoyue retorted almost without thinking: "No, no, it's not your fault..."

How could this be Xiaoniao's fault? She was so kind, she saved herself from the bleak reality with no future.

Rescued her and treated her so gently.

Even revenge was not what Xiao Niao wanted her to do. In his dying moments, he hoped that she could forget everything and live a good life.

Xiao Niao suddenly raised his head and looked at the doctor quietly.

Those light brown eyes suddenly became calm and still, hiding her true thoughts, making it impossible to tell what emotion she was feeling.

"Xiaoyue," she said, "If I remember correctly, you called me teacher before, right?"

"yes?"

Chen Xiaoyue looked a little confused, not knowing why Xiao Niao suddenly asked this, "Aren't you teaching at the No. 1 Middle School in the city..."

"But I haven't taught you, so there's no reason for you to call me teacher," she said.

"Besides, today is only my first day at the No. 1 Middle School in the city."

Xiao Niao tilted his head slightly, carefully observing the subtle expression on the doctor's face: "This is the first time we have met. I don't remember telling you about this."

Chen Xiaoyue's body trembled.

She suddenly realized something - or perhaps she had realized it a long time ago, but was immersed in self-deception and unwilling to face the facts.

In the past, Xiao Niao would never call her 'doctor'.

She only calls herself Ah Chen, which was the name she used when we first met.

Only this name belongs to her. She is not Chen Xiaoya, not Chen Jiansheng, and not Chen Xiaoyue who changed her name after she became an adult - only the name Ah Chen belongs to her from beginning to end.

But the first thing Xiao Niao said was "doctor".

She carefully followed the other person's words, trying not to reveal any flaws, but she still made a mistake unintentionally.

He didn't even want to give her the chance to deceive herself.

"I……"

Chen Xiaoyue opened her mouth, but no words came out. She didn't know how to explain, and her face turned gloomy.

On the other side, Xiaoniao was brainstorming with Brother Tongzi.

Has anyone ever accidentally been involved in a time travel incident before? She quietly asked the system in her mind.

[…I haven't seen any written records.] The system hissed, "But there are quite a few rumors..."

I just took a sneak peek and saw a mole on her earlobe. She looked worried, so I can basically confirm that she is Dr. Chen Xiaoyue... It's impossible that she is someone else in disguise.

But why is the doctor behaving so strangely?

He couldn't be scanned by the system's reconnaissance module, and his behavior seemed a bit strange. Now he even called himself a teacher...

Is it just a simple honorific?

Xiao Niao tried hard to recall: In reality, it seems that in some areas, "teacher" is often used as a respectful title. Even when you go to McDonald's to buy a pair of chicken wings, you will be politely called teacher.

[Hmm...assuming she really was dragged into the time travel by accident, then some things would make sense.]

The system explained to the bird: [Because you don't belong to this world, you naturally don't have any background information. The reason you have your current identity, Bird, is because your body was molded in advance.]

[So, logically, this makes sense. As for her unusual behavior...]

The system hesitated and said, "Perhaps there was some problem with your memory during the time you traveled through time?"

When Xiao Niao traveled through time, there was a system escorting him the whole time, but Chen Xiaoyue... Tongzi didn't even know when she was involved.

Xiao Niao was misled by Tongzi's thoughts - she had a deeper misunderstanding and did not notice the doctor's drastic emotional fluctuations at the moment.

She only noticed the uneasiness and confusion on Chen Xiaoyue's face when she looked at her. She looked so helpless, as if she was afraid that she would abandon her.

Xiao Niao asked himself: This person really did not do anything to harm me from beginning to end. In fact, if it weren't for her, I might have died in the ruins that day.

She had roughly heard Officer Lando describe how dangerous that day was. The entire factory was filled with thick smoke and the fire was fierce. Even the firefighters did not dare to go deep into such a place to carry out rescue.

No matter what the other party's hidden secrets are, this kindness is real.

Xiao Niao sighed silently.

"Well...it's okay if you don't remember."

She turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the car window, muttering softly, "Anyway, I will take responsibility and bring you home."

Xiao Niao was still a little angry... maybe it was more because of depression, so he never turned around to look at the doctor's expression.

The bus swayed slightly while driving, and occasionally there would be a small bump when going downhill or running over gravel.

Someone closed the open window, and the car suddenly became very quiet.

After a long time, she heard a voice behind her.

Muffled, with a barely perceptible tremor.

"it is good."

Chen Xiaoyue said in a low voice.

That’s fine. I’ll listen to you. We have a deal.
