Chen Xiaoyue made up her mind, pondered it for a few seconds, and then asked, "Do you have classes tomorrow?"

"Well?"

Xiaoniao was moving the half-melted corn candy to the position of his molars and chewing it bit by bit with his hard back molars.

She looked up when she heard that.

"I don't have any classes tomorrow," Xiao Niao said, "but Xiao Ya probably won't be able to leave school. She told me there's a surprise test tomorrow."

Chen Xiaoyue: "Oh, so she can't go with us?"

Xiao Niao: "Probably not."

Doctor Chen couldn't help but reveal a look of delight on his face: "That's great."

Xiao Niao: “…Ah?”

-

Inside a classroom.

While looking for the test questions, Chen Xiaoya suddenly sneezed violently.

My deskmate was startled: "Wow, what's wrong with you?"

"Well, nothing..."

Chen Xiaoya's delicate eyebrows were wrinkled together, and he looked very unhappy.

“…I always feel like I’m being scolded behind my back.”

Chapter 5000: Movements on Both Sides (+)

Chen Xiaoyue also discovered recently that her temperament seemed to have become much calmer.

Two days ago, she encountered a medical dispute - it was not at her workplace. Chen Xiaoyue was simply passing by the hospital to do some business, and she accidentally encountered the family members who came to cause trouble.

Although the cause of the incident is unclear, the person who led the riot shouted a few words and then rushed into the nurses' station with a kitchen knife. His behavior was obviously out of control.

Went to control.

However, this man's dominance did not last long. Almost at the moment the nurses screamed, he fell face down with his butt up, and fell flat on his face.

Before he could react to what was happening, the kitchen knife in his hand was neatly snatched away, and his arms were twisted behind his back. He didn't know what grappling technique the other party used, but he managed to pin him down and make him unable to move.

The person who took action was naturally Chen Xiaoyue.

She did pass by by chance, but her rich medical experience made her very sensitive to medical disputes and she could detect signs of danger faster than others.

When the troublemaker dropped his weapon, the enthusiastic onlookers naturally came forward to help suppress him. By the time the security personnel rushed over, the troublemaker was already covered in blood.

The onlookers were enthusiastically discussing what had just happened. Some people realized later that it was a young girl who subdued the gangster, but after looking around several times, they could not find the other person.

Chen Xiaoyue has already left.

She actually doesn't like doing things that attract attention. Even though her special physique means she doesn't have to worry about people remembering her appearance, Chen Xiaoyue still instinctively wants to avoid crowded places.

In the past, she would not have had the interest to do such a brave thing, nor would she care about the life and death of others.

Even Chen Xiaoyue had to admit that her temperament had indeed changed a lot - she didn't even break the troublemaker's arm when she stopped him, but waited for the security personnel to come and deal with it.

Thinking back on the life I lived a few months ago, which was like a life on the edge of a knife, it seems like a dream.

In the past, she had to change her place of residence every two or three days on average, and sometimes she would wander on the road for up to half a year, which was a true portrayal of being homeless.

But now, she longs to settle down.

Chen Xiaoyue even began to think about whether she should find a more stable nine-to-five job.

Of course, this was quite difficult for her.

Chen Xiaoyue knew that she had a special physical condition, and even if she joined the hospital normally, she would easily be treated as an irrelevant person and kicked out.

She is actually not short of money. She is even quite well-off financially - at least much richer than the widowed little bird (literally) - with the advantages brought by reincarnation, even if she does not work at all, the doctor can live a life of food and clothing.

Chen Xiaoyue was very satisfied with this kind of life, and even the hatred that had burned her soul in the past was no longer as intense.

She thought, if only it could go on like this forever.

But the bird would undoubtedly leave. Chen Xiaoyue knew this from the beginning - the man said he would take her home and gently comforted her, telling her not to worry.

To her, this was tantamount to saying goodbye.

Chen Xiaoyue understood that the man had misunderstood something and regarded her as a companion who could be relied upon and trusted.

As a 'fake', she might not be taken away by Xiao Niao when she leaves - maybe after the other party leaves, she will enter a new cycle of reincarnation.

This thought made Chen Xiaoyue feel confused, and then it further aroused the panic hidden deep in her heart.

From Chen Xiaoyue's own life experience, she does not believe in God - at least she does not believe in a God who saves all living beings and upholds justice - if such a God really existed, she would not have experienced such a terrible childhood.

Every useless prayer in her childhood weakened her good intentions and made her more certain that it would be difficult for her to be happy.

Chen Xiaoyue is not a child anymore. She knows that everything has a reason, that there is no free lunch in the world, and that she must pay the corresponding price for anything she wants.

And what price will she have to pay for this extravagant happiness?

An unspeakable panic lurked deep within Chen Xiaoyue's heart, like a wooden board soaked in water: even if she pressed down again and again, it would always float to the surface when she wasn't paying attention.

This emotion reached its peak when she woke up from her bed.

Xiaoniao is not here.

Chen Xiaoyue instinctively reached to the other side of the bed.

The quilt felt cold to the touch, and the person inside must have left for quite some time.

Today she and Xiaoniao agreed to go out together - this was her little idea, but the doctor unilaterally regarded it as a date.

Last night she naturally let the bird stay for one more night: if they were going out together tomorrow, it would be more convenient for it to stay here.

This was a reasonable suggestion and the other party agreed to it.

But when I woke up in the morning, she was gone.

It was as if a nightmare had come true. Her body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead, and her heart seemed to have been ripped out of her chest. Chen Xiaoyue stood there stiffly, unable to move for a long time.

But Xiao Niao actually just went out, and even left a note in a conspicuous place on the bedside table, explaining the reason for going out.

But this did not bring much comfort to Chen Xiaoyue. She found that she could no longer stay in the empty house. Even staying for one more second became torture.

——Perhaps because of this, she had moved so many times and changed her address so frequently in the past.

When she came to her senses, Chen Xiaoyue found herself sitting on the steps at the door of her house.

As long as she doesn't stay at home, she can go anywhere.

I went out with this idea in mind, but halfway through, it was as if my strength was drained away, and I could no longer take the next step.

She might fall if she continued walking, so she had to sit on the steps to rest, lowering her head and staring blankly at the floor beneath her feet.

No, Chen Xiaoyue thought, I have no strength left and I don’t know where to go.

She stood there motionless for a full twenty minutes until someone came over and pressed a warm orange fruit to her forehead.

She knew who that person was without even looking up—there was only one person in the world who would make such an intimate gesture towards her and would not suddenly forget her existence.

Little bird.

Chen Xiaoyue caught the fruit, and the fingertips of the two people touched briefly.

Doctor Chen raised her head and looked at the person in front of her. She blinked slowly and said, "You're back."

My little bird.

The other person looked at him strangely, with a hint of doubt in his light brown eyes.

Xiao Niao had a bag of oranges hanging on her wrist. She reached out and pulled Chen Xiaoyue up from the steps. "Why are you sitting here?" she asked casually.

Chen Xiaoyue didn't want the bird to notice anything unusual, but for some reason, the words on the tip of her tongue became her truest thought at the moment: "I... I'll wait for you here."

"Can't you just wait inside the house?" Xiao Niao was confused.

Chen Xiaoyue pursed her lips: "I'm afraid you won't come back..."

I sounded so familiar with this, as if I had heard it somewhere before.

Xiao Niao recalled the boy's weird little face and the aggrieved look on his face when he refused to sleep in the middle of the night and waited for him to come back.

She almost couldn't hold back her expression, and coughed twice as if she was choked by saliva, trying hard to suppress the upward curve of the corners of her mouth.

"No—my good doctor," Xiao Niao said, brushing off the dust on the doctor's body with amusement, "How old are you? Why are you still like a little kid and can't live without someone?"

The doctor almost felt aggrieved by this statement.

She thought: I am Chen Xiaoya.

However, Xiao Niao didn't seem to notice Chen Xiaoyue's upset psychological activities.

"Okay, I'm back now," she lowered her voice, as if to comfort and coax, "I won't run away, okay?"

You will, you will run away one day, a light bird with beautiful feathers, one day you will fly away to another place without looking back, and nothing can limit your freedom.

Chen Xiaoyue didn't say anything. She just slowly and carefully put her five fingers into the man's warm fingers.

Although it was a somewhat abrupt action, Xiao Niao still accommodated the other party with good patience - she has always been very tolerant of her friends.

Besides, we are going out to play together today, so the important thing is to pack up quickly.

Thinking of this, Xiao Niao couldn't help but reach out and scratch the doctor's back again.

She felt more and more that this person was like an abandoned cat. He would get nervous at the slightest disturbance and had to stay in his owner's arms to stay mentally stable. He also needed to be purred very frequently.

But in her opinion, these are all minor problems that are harmless.

Xiao Niao took good care of her "compatriot" - after all, this was in a completely unfamiliar time and space, so it was understandable that the doctor would be dependent on her - if she had met a "time traveler" who could speak Chinese, she would have been so excited that she burst into tears.

Besides, the doctor was not difficult to coax: by the time she returned home, her mood had returned to normal.

The two had a simple breakfast and packed some personal belongings.

Before leaving, Chen Xiaoyue suddenly remembered something: "...Is it okay if Xiaoya doesn't come with us?"

This statement is very hateful - today is the weekend, but the poor high school students have to continue attending classes, and there are even last-minute tests.

There was half a day of rest in the afternoon, but since the two adults decided to go out on a date, Chen Xiaoya had to spend it alone.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

As Xiao Niao put the oranges he had just bought into his backpack, he confidently replied, "I've asked a friend I know to take care of her. Nothing will go wrong."

-

About an hour ago.

Xiao Niao put on her coat, but then found that it was not the right size - it was a doctor's coat - and she wrapped herself tightly in the leaky coat and shivered in the cold morning breeze.

This person was carrying a bag of freshly bought oranges and walking on the deserted street to visit the "acquaintance".

And

She walked into the gate of No. 1 Middle School in the city and received a warm greeting from the security guard, "Teacher Xiao, why are you here so early today?" Then she walked around the teachers' office where few people were and went straight to the top floor of a teaching building.

During the period, Xiao Niao passed by a classroom and peeked out from the back door, seeing a boy sitting upright and reciting an English text.

I was very pleased and gave oranges to every student who arrived early in the classroom.

My own kid stuffed me in an extra one.
