61. The Real World (1)
When she returned to the virtual space again, Tang Xi couldn't wait to go to the next world, but she couldn't wait for the familiar sound of the system.
The brain is a little confused, is the system tired after going through these worlds and needs to rest?
Trying to call a few times in his mind, Tang Xi still couldn't feel the system's storage, and was thinking about whether to wait for the system to react automatically, when the system suddenly spoke.
"Ding~"
It was a particularly harsh sound, if it weren't for the way she was used to the system's vocalization, she would not have noticed that the system still had something to explain to herself, but before she could say it, it was swallowed up instantly, and there was a stabbing sound, like an electric current was burning, and Tang Xi felt that the entire virtual space was shaking.
She subconsciously ducked to the side, but the shaking became stronger and stronger, like an earthquake in the real world, and she turned back and forth in space uncontrollably.
The hand grabbed the dresser hard, but the dresser fell down in response, Tang Xi weakly closed his eyes with the violent shaking, and at the same time, an inconspicuous light flashed in the space......
I don't know how long I was asleep, when Tang Xi woke up, her eyes were foggy, she was a little stunned, she didn't know where she was, the qiē in front of her was strange and familiar, pure white swirled in her brain, she seemed to understand something.
Tang Xi felt that she should be excited now, or she should have been so excited that she jumped up to celebrate, but she didn't feel anything, especially because she was inexplicably mixed with a little reluctance.
She was in a hospital, a hospital she was no stranger to, and she had to come to the ward several times a day before she had been in a car accident, and now she was just lying here by herself.
A smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth, with a hint of helplessness, Tang Xi desperately called for the system in her mind, wanting to ask the system what was going on, why did she return to the real world?
She didn't dare to guarantee that the system would know the reason, but the system was definitely not like her current self, and the moment the virtual space collapsed, she could clearly feel that the system wanted to tell her something, but the speed of the collapse was too fast, and Tang Xi couldn't hear anything, so she had to ask the system for verification now.
However, the system did not respond, it was more complete than the silence in the virtual space, Tang Xi was a little panicked, she began to call the system frequently, and the system seemed to disappear and no longer existed.
Is this qiē all an illusion?
Just a dream she had lying on this hospital bed for so long since the car accident?
No, no dream can be so real.
But the system really disappeared, and no matter how much she called the system, the system did not answer.
If it weren't for the feelings she still had for the previous world, she might really be forced to believe that it was all a dream, and her relationship with Xiao Hanbei was also false, probably as long as the wind blew, it could drift away.
Six worlds, six dreams, Tang Xi shook her head, she felt that she was confused, but she could only attribute these to the dullness after a long illness.
The doctor who treated her told Tang Xi that she had been in a coma for three months, that she had no consciousness during those three months, and that if she had not been breathing, she might have been established dead.
Tang Xi was very happy about this, but at the same time, she complained about why she woke up, she was still greedy for Xiao Hanbei's gentleness, and she wanted to continue to be with that man.
The recovery period was very fast, Tang Xi began to take over the work on the third day after waking up, although the hospital repeatedly emphasized that she should rest for a while, but Tang Xi refused, the kind of day when she opened her eyes and began to miss a person, Tang Xi didn't want to live again, only working day and night could numb her nerves and make her forget the man who had been guarding her side.
I don't know if it's been the first few days, as long as she is free, Tang Xi will stay in the bar for a while, and occasionally the bartender will persuade her a few words, but Tang Xi will refuse with a smile.
It feels good to be drunk, at least you don't have to pretend to be a person in your head, how uncomfortable it is to be afraid of forgetting and remembering, Tang Xi can't say clearly, she only knows that once Xiao Hanbei appears in her mind, her stomach hurts.
On this day, Tang Xi still arrived at the bar on time, and the bartender was too familiar with her, and just waited for her to sit down and brought her a glass of spirits that she ordered every time.
She only drinks the strongest, but never drinks more, maybe she can't change her guard and rejection of this kind of place in her heart, when Tang Xi leaves, her eyes are always clear, but after she goes back, no one finds the corner, but she is always depressed and sluggish.
"Miss Tang, haven't you found the person you're looking for?" The bartender saw Tang Xi drink the wine and handed over a glass of juice.
Tang Xi took it habitually and smiled at him: "Maybe he regretted it, so he deliberately hid and didn't let me know." ”
The corners of her mouth turned bitter from the polite smile at the beginning, and the bartender seemed to remember her own experience when she listened to her words, and then shook her head: "Is it still a loss for someone as good as Miss Tang to be liked by no one, and it is his loss if he doesn't come out to see you." ”
With such comforting words, Tang Xi listened to what he said, so he could only smile back, nodded and said, "How long have you been working here?" ”
Tang Xi likes this position very much, especially the position where the bartender is, when she first saw him, Tang Xi was very out of shape, she ran over and grabbed the bartender's sleeve, forcing him to face him, and the sentence "Xiao Hanbei" in her mouth only stopped halfway through the words.
He was very similar to Xiao Hanbei's side face, but Tang Xi already understood when he approached him that this was not Xiao Hanbei, and the excitement in her heart was replaced by disappointment, and she actually began to slowly accept the reality.
probably had a similar face, so Tang Xi's words became a lot, and the bartender gradually understood what her first gaffe was for.
"One year," the bartender thought for a moment and said with a smile, "you're the most unusual guest I've ever met." ”
"It's the strangest," Tang Xi shook the juice and took a sip, "Has she been here for the person you are waiting for?" ”
The bartender, who had been seen through his heart, didn't mind, and he replied while bartending for someone else, "I've been here, but I'd rather she never showed up." ”
Tang Xi chuckled: "It doesn't seem to be a pleasant meeting. ”
After saying that, she seemed to remember something, and then said, "Now that you know the result, why are you still doing it here?" ”
It seems to be talking about the bartender's heart, and his green face is full of excitement: "I fell in love with the bartending profession during the time I waited for her, and every time I mixed a new variety, that feeling seemed to be more wonderful than falling in love." ”
Maybe waiting is also a kind of beauty, Tang Xi looked at his smiling face and suddenly sighed.
He said a lot, and Tang Xi listened silently, but it was a pity that this rare quiet harmony could not be maintained for long, and Tang Xi's shoulder was suddenly grabbed.
"I've been watching you for almost a week," the owner of the hand on Tang Xi's shoulder smiled slightly, "A person is always wandering here, can I think you're looking for someone you like?" ”
The man said it was quite tactful, but it was still harsh in Tang Xi's ears, the bartender knew this person, he soaked here almost every night, and accosted him when he saw a beautiful girl, especially like to show off his arrogance, deliberately reflecting that he was very rich.
"Sir." The bartender wanted to help send this man away, but was suddenly stopped by Tang Xi, of course she knew what would happen to the bartender if he helped her today, so she didn't want to owe him such a big favor.
"You're special." Seeing this, the man continued, and his movements became bolder, he slowly leaned over, wanting to smell the fragrance of Tang Xi's hair, but was stopped by a hand, and then saw Tang Xi turn sideways and dodge to the side.
"It's the first time I've known that a person can still have clarity in his eyes after losing his soul." He withdrew his hand disappreciatively, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.
Tang Xi actually laughed when she heard this, and the man thought that she agreed with her words, but suddenly, Tang Xi smiled, and looked at the man coldly: "I also think you are very special, so special that you have nothing to do and observe others, don't you know that women with stories are generally not short of objects?" ”
"Oh no, I already have a crush." Tang Xi hooked his lips and smiled, without the slightest timidity, but invisibly with more pride.
She stared, looked at the man in front of her arrogantly, and said very thoroughly: "You made the wrong idea, you shouldn't have found me." ”
The man was stunned and speechless.
Fortunately, men don't like to force others, so Tang Xi is happy.
But since then, Tang Xi has never been seen in the bar.
It's been a month since she woke up, and Tang Xi has not slackened the hospital as always, especially when there have been too many emergency departments recently, and she almost slept in the hospital.
During the lunch break, Tang Xi squinted for a while, thinking of the patient who had just been admitted to the ward recently, and she began to have a headache.
On the day of the operation, there was no family, and he himself was unwilling to cooperate with the treatment, the doctors and nurses could only watch him circle around, watching him kick the injured leg regardless of it, it seemed that the patient was very angry, and he wanted to jump up immediately to kick the medical staff in front of him, but it was too unfortunate that Tang Xi was on duty that day, and he suddenly roared when he saw this man.
Her voice was not loud, but it did stun the man.
"If you are strong, don't be afraid of death."
Tang Xi just looked at him like that, without the slightest expression on his face, the man was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he was anesthetized by the nurse on the side, and it was too late to resist again.
It's just that Tang Xi didn't expect that such a simple sentence would make a man entangle himself, and during the routine ward rounds every day, the man always asked Tang Xi without skin and face: "Do you have a boyfriend?" I think you've got an appetite for me. ”
Tang Xi was doing a routine examination with an expressionless face, turning a deaf ear to the man's words, but these seemed to be of little use to the man, and the man would still say cheekily: "Doctor Tang, we men are not married to women, what a suitable marriage, besides, I think this is arranged by God, I fell in love with you at first sight." ”
Tang Xi didn't look up at him, turned around and left after the examination, but the man continued unrelentingly: "Doctor Tang, if you think about it again, don't worry, I can guard you in the hospital if my leg is good or not." ”
Not only Tang Xi said this, but even the nurses who followed on the side also felt chills when they heard it, this is what Dr. Tang meant?
"Don't," Tang Xi stopped walking to the door, and finally glanced back, "Don't look for trouble, if you can't get used to seeing the medical staff, you think we are not thoughtful, just complain, don't float around like a ghost, and only float in front of my eyes, worrying." ”
The man was stunned, the words were brewing for a few circles, and when he was about to speak, Tang Xi had already stepped away.
Oops, Tang Xi felt very bad, the kind of thing that has been hanging in his heart can't be solved, and there is a troublesome ghost suddenly around him is really unspeakably annoying.
Fortunately, the man's leg recovered very well, and Tang Xi thought that he would be discharged from the hospital in a few days, but suddenly, an accident happened.
Although the man's legs and feet are not good, he can barely use a cane, so when Tang Xi was doing the outpatient clinic and could see the person when he looked up, his temper exploded, but she had to press it.
Restraint, restraint, the corners of Tang Xi's mouth hooked up a smile slightly, and his attention was all on asking about the patient's situation, completely ignoring the man standing outside the door on crutches.
"I'll be discharged from the hospital in two days, and we'll have a meal together after work?"
As soon as he rested, the man immediately squeezed in, and Tang Xi raised his head and glared angrily before he could put down his pen.
There was no verbal communication, but there was a spark flashing in his eyes, and Tang Xi burst when he said: "Shut up and get out." ”
The man just didn't move, Tang Xi continued: "Since you were hospitalized, none of your family and friends have come, should you be a mix, huh?" ”
She didn't say the rest, but the man understood, and he shook his head: "It's useless to cry and shed some tears to affect my mood, there's no need to notify." ”
After saying that, he seemed to have discovered something, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Ask so much, should you figure it out?" ”
"Imagination is good, rich enough." Tang Xi sneered, bypassed him and walked out.
To tell the truth, this man can definitely earn a high return rate on the street, but Tang Xi has no feelings for him, if it weren't for the fact that he was obviously afraid that his leg would be broken, but he still looked like you couldn't give me anesthetic, Tang Xi didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Although he later learned that this man's friend had become a vegetative person because of anesthetic, Tang Xi still couldn't get used to him as a big man, and he wanted to die or live because of the anesthetic.
"My friend is in your hospital." The man said suddenly.
Tang Xi turned around: "So what?" ”
"Don't you want to meet this man who has turned into a vegetative state because of your medical malpractice?" The man replied to her, "Keep a long memory and promise not to happen to this kind of thing in the future." ”
These words probably provoked Tang Xi, and she nodded: "Okay." ”
She woke up and heard about it, probably not long after she was unconscious, this man was also sent to this hospital because of a car accident, but because he was overdosed on anesthesia, so he has not woken up until now.
Tang Xi sometimes wondered why she woke up suddenly, or why she was in a coma for a while, which she couldn't seem to explain with normal scientific phenomena.
Will he take a look at the vegetative friend in his mouth because of that man's words, probably partly out of his own curiosity, maybe he will wake up suddenly? Maybe he, like himself, actually traveled to other worlds when he was unconscious?
Tang Xi expected this in her heart, after all, if it was really as she thought, then she at least had someone who could tell the truth, and she could also prove that those people were saved in those days, such as Xiao Hanbei......
Shaking his head, Tang Xi quickened his pace, and the man next to him couldn't help but laugh when he saw it: "I don't know who I didn't want to come just now." ”
In that ward, Tang Xi passed by countless times after waking up, but I don't know why, only this time, her heart began to beat wildly, maybe it was the first time to enter this door, maybe it was a little more expectation in her heart, she looked at the number plate on the door and suddenly didn't dare to take another step.
There will be a special doctor here to come to check the ward, every time she passes by, she just glances at it in a hurry, and she has never been curious about it before, and now, she is about to go in, she is about to see the real face inside, but her heart is timid.
Tang Xi didn't understand why she had this thought, the urgency of the expectation made her start to suppress, and the man next to her didn't seem to notice her embarrassment, and had already pushed open the door and looked back at her: "Come in." ”
His steps were a little heavy, and Tang Xi's hands were already tight, but he still walked in with the man.
"Shaobei." The man whispered the name of the man on the hospital bed.
Tang Xi suddenly felt like he had been beaten with a stick, Shaobei, Xiao Shaobei.
Hehe, she suddenly began to laugh, and the man turned his head suspiciously to look at her almost crazy smile, and asked a little confused: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Tang Xi laughed, with tears in his eyes, and the moment he heard the man's question, he suddenly fell: "Xiao Shaobei, is it?" ”
The man was a little surprised by her inquiry, but still nodded: "You know?" ”
Know? Not only did she know each other, before she had a car accident, the man named Xiao Shaobei was almost like the person in front of her, endlessly pestering her, changing tricks to courtship every day, but unfortunately, it was just one step away, and before the two could come together, she fell into a coma and fell into another world.
And when she woke up, she probably hoped that this man would appear, but no, he also disappeared as if out of thin air, and the phone was forever in a state of no signal.
However, until today, she finally understood, and she understood why when she went to the first world, she had an inexplicable familiarity with Emperor Xiao Hanye as Xi Mu'er at that time.
The footsteps were a little staggering, she came to Xiao Shaobei's bed in a trance, her trembling hand slowly raised, she looked at the familiar face in front of her, and gently stroked her hand.
I see, it turns out that this qiē is like this, but that space has collapsed, why hasn't Xiao Shaobei woken up yet?
System! System!
She desperately called the system in her head, but the result was still no response.
"Dr. Tang?" The man on the side had no idea why Tang Xi had become in his current state of madness, and he tried to wake her up.
And Tang Xi has been completely immersed in the joy of losing and regaining and the loneliness of regaining and unregaining, the system has collapsed, so she is back, so in other words, Xiao Shaobei's virtual space still exists, so Xiao Shaobei may have gone to another world now?
No, Tang Xi didn't dare to think so, each of the six worlds she had been to had left traces of Xiao Shaobei, and now that she had returned to the real world, shouldn't Xiao Shaobei also come back?
