"Dead!" Xiao Yuan's voice instantly raised, and the taste in his heart was so complicated that it couldn't be overstated.

"Brother, why did you remember to ask her, I remember that you have never been here." Lin Ran asked puzzled.

"Heh, I'm just asking, how did she die?" Xiao Yuan asked with a smile on his face, because he wanted to hide his emotions as much as he could, his voice seemed very weird.

"I also listened to what my aunt said, and I didn't know much about the situation, and my aunt said that she disappeared for a long time after graduation, as if she went to the United States, where she encountered a terrorist attack." Lin Ran said.

"Do you know where she's buried?" Xiao Yuan asked again.

"Brother, what's wrong with you today, you keep asking such strange questions, do you know Sister Tang Sa?" Lin Ran asked puzzled.

"No, I have a friend on the Internet who is close friends with Tang Sa, and he entrusted me to inquire about the situation." Xiao Yuan said.

"So that's the case, I don't know where she is buried, but it should be in the cemetery in Jiangzhou." Lin Ran said.

"The Tang family is a big family, don't there be ancestral graves?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"Most of the big families in Jiangzhou are still old traditions, Tang Sa is a daughter, she can't be included in the family tree, and naturally she can't be buried in the ancestral grave." Lin Ran replied.

"Understood." Xiao Yuan sat down on the edge of the bed, obviously this is just a virtual world, and it is the world before rebirth, in this world, he and Tang Sa can be said to have nothing to do with it, but when he heard Lin Ran say that Tang Sa is dead, he is still very uncomfortable in his heart.

"Brother, your face is very bad, are you okay?" Lin Ran sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed Xiao Yuan's hand, and asked with concern.

"Brother is fine." Xiao Yuan withdrew his hand from Lin Ran's hand, smiled at her, and asked, "I'll ask you about someone again." ”

"Who?" Lin Ran asked.

"Xia Jiuying, have you heard of this name?" Xiao Yuan asked, but his heart was in his throat, lest it be bad news.

"Nope." Lin Ran shook his head blankly and replied.

"Since I haven't heard of it, forget it." Xiao Yuan didn't get an answer, but his heart relaxed, and he looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, so he urged Lin Ran to quickly dress up and clean up, it was time to go to celebrate his grandfather's birthday.

…………

The birthday banquet was held in the old house of Yangjiawan, the old man was old, his physical activity was inconvenient, and his temperament was becoming more and more quiet, tired of being noisy, so the birthday banquet in recent years was rejected by almost all outsiders, only Lin Mingxuan and Yang Jingchen, as well as Xiao Yuan and Lin Ran.

When Xiao Yuan and Lin Ran arrived at Yangjiawan, it was already noon, and when the two of them entered the courtyard with the birthday gift prepared by Lin Ran in advance, Yang Jingchen happened to come to the courtyard from the room, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he stopped.

Seeing his mother again, Xiao Yuan's mood was a little complicated, at this time he had not reconciled with his mother, from his mother's eyes when he looked at him, he saw a little concern, but still a little fear, these fears made him feel palpitations, and the white hair on his mother's sideburns made him want to cry.

"Mom!" Xiao Yuan took a step forward and shouted, but this sound stunned Yang Jingchen there, Lin Ran was also a little surprised, and looked at Xiao Yuan speechless with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the courtyard became quiet for a while.

"Little ...... Far away, you ......" Yang Jingchen's lips trembled, unable to speak, but tears flowed down her eyes.

"Mom, I've figured it out these days, I used to be a bastard, how can there be a biological son in the world who doesn't recognize his mother." Xiao Yuan stepped forward and grabbed his mother's hand, and said as calmly as he could.

"Brother, it's great that you can do this." Lin Ran stepped forward and said a little excitedly, under the agitation of the mood, the corners of her eyes were a little moist, although she had been calling Aunt Yang Jingchen, but for so many years Yang Jingchen treated her as a daughter, in her eyes, Yang Jingchen was her mother, and Xiao Yuan and Yang Jingchen had a bad relationship, she was very uncomfortable in the middle, so she sincerely hoped that Xiao Yuan and Yang Jingchen's mother and son could reconcile.

"Xiaoyuan, are you telling the truth?" Yang Jingchen's eyes quickly filled with tears, and her voice trembled and confirmed.

"Really, what I said is true." Xiao Yuan said that even if the environment he is in now is just a virtual world, he hopes to leave no regrets in this world, in his life before rebirth, not being able to reconcile with his mother is one of his biggest regrets, since there is a chance to make up for it, he naturally made the choice without hesitation.

"Haha......" Yang Shancheng was helped out of the house by Lin Mingxuan, laughed and said, "Xiaoyuan, you can figure out this trick, grandpa is really happy." ”

The appearance of Yang Shancheng broke the tense atmosphere in the courtyard, and everyone was pleased with the change in Xiao Yuan's attitude, and Xiao Yuan was also happy to have such an opportunity to make up for the regrets in his heart, and the atmosphere at home became lively.

Xiao Yuan helped Yang Shancheng back into the house, and asked about Xia Jiuying during the chat with him.

"It was a hard-working child, and not long after Xia Lao died a few years ago, she had a seizure and went with her grandfather." Yang Shancheng sighed and said.

After being reborn, Xiao Yuan's beloved two red faces died in the time and space before the rebirth, which made him a little unacceptable, so he comforted himself that everything here was virtual, and the reality before rebirth was not necessarily the case.

"I hope that in the real world, they can all be well, and they can find their own happiness in the trajectory of their lives without me." Xiao Yuan said with heartfelt blessings.

"My brother said he found a girlfriend, you don't know." Lin Ran saw that Xiao Yuan was a little depressed, so he interjected and diverted the topic.

"Really, what's the girl's name, where is she from, and when will you bring it for grandpa to see?" Yang Shancheng asked happily.

"No, don't listen to Xiao Ran's nonsense, I lied to her this morning." Xiao Yuan denied the news, since Tang Sa and Xia Jiuying have both passed away, then in this world, it is impossible for him to have them in his future life, so it is naturally impossible to talk about girlfriends.

"If you don't have one, find one immediately, you are all standing, and it is time to think about starting a family, and grandpa is still thinking about reporting his great-grandson before entering the coffin." Yang Shancheng said with a smile.

"Before I came, I said that if my brother didn't find a girlfriend, he would make do with him, but he didn't want to, and the matter of having a girlfriend must be an excuse for him to come up with to perfunctory me." Lin Ran glanced at Xiao Yuan on the side and said.

"Xiao Ran, as a woman, you want to be a lady, don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Yuan scolded from the side.

"I think this is a good idea, Xiao Ran is not a small boss, but I don't know what Mingxuan and you two think?" Yang Shancheng said.

"If they want to, we'll be happy." Lin Mingxuan said.

"Today is my grandfather's birthday, let's talk about this later, Xiao Ran is a sister, if I marry as a daughter-in-law, I have a psychological barrier." Xiao Yuan said with a wry smile.

…………

After wishing his grandfather his birthday, another week passed, Xiao Yuan found that he had been in the virtual world for a long time this time, and he didn't mean to kick himself out because of too much mental drain, because he was worried about the situation in the outside world, so he tried to quit many times, but no matter how hard he tried, it was unsuccessful, as if everything he had experienced before was a dream, this dream turned into illusion as his grandfather woke up the day before his birthday, it was difficult for him to accept this reality, and he once felt hopeless, Even thought of suicide, swallowing a hundred sleeping pills at a time, if Lin Ran hadn't found out in time, he might have really succeeded in committing suicide, after the suicide attempt, although he did not commit suicide again, but the despair was still there, and this emotion lasted for a long time before slowly fading.

Time passed slowly, three years have passed in a blink of an eye, Xiao Yuan's time in this world has exceeded the time of his rebirth, if it weren't for the fact that there are too many people and things in the real world that he cares about reminding him at all times, he really regards this place as the real world, even so, time is slowly changing his mentality, despair slowly fades away, he begins to try to accept everything in this world, and also begins to try to seriously manage his life in this world.

On the Qingming Festival in the fifth year, Xiao Yuan, accompanied by Lin Ran, went to visit Tang Sa and Xia Jiuying's graves respectively, and gave Lin Ran a promise when he came back, if she was willing to wait for him, he would marry her in three years, and the rest of the days would be okay.

People are not grass and trees, Lin Ran is also thirty-five years old, and has a successful career, and the suitors are almost lined up, but she has always been single, what is this for, he naturally knows that since there is no Xia Jiuying in this world, there is no Tang Sa, only Lin Ran, he feels that he is really obliged to give Lin Ran an explanation, the reason why he has to wait for another three years is because he needs to use these three years to adjust his mentality, and also use these three years to verify whether he really can't go back.

In the next three years, Xiao Yuan slowly put everything in the real world into the deepest part of his heart, and began to seriously manage his life in this world, this time his life is not as turbulent and thrilling as the life after rebirth, low-key, dull has become the theme of life, the original ji in the network is no longer online, blackskull is also far away from his life, although he has not given up his beloved computer and network technology, but he no longer uses a fixed ID, and has never done anything related to hacking again.

Three years later, he kept his original promise and walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand with Lin Ran.

After getting married, he slowly maintained his heart on Lin Ran, managing their lives, Xia Jiuying and Tang Sa were put in the deepest part of his heart by him, only occasionally seeing them in his sleep, and he would burst into tears when he woke up......

After another two years, he had his own child, it has been ten years in this world, the years have crawled over his forty-year-old face, leaving more and more obvious traces, the child was a few years younger, he pushed off almost all his work, and was willing to be a father at home, until the child went to elementary school, he came out to do things again, and in the year when he was no longer a father, grandfather Yang Shancheng finally finished his life and passed away with a smile.

The vicissitudes of life, a dream, the child went through elementary school, junior high school, high school, and then went to other cities to go to college, leaving him and Lin Ran's side, he is also getting old, but his mother Yang Jingchen was rated as an academician of the Academy of Sciences a few years ago, although he is over the age of old, but he still insists on working, until one day he suddenly had a myocardial infarction and fell down forever, Lin Mingxuan was overly sad after Yang Jingchen passed away, his body was not as good as a day, and he also passed away in the second year, Xiao Changtian also died of illness two years after Lin Mingxuan's death.

As the saying goes, seventy-three, eighty-four, the king of Hades doesn't tell him to go, Xiao Yuan didn't survive the hurdle of seventy-three years old in the end, but Lin Ran had already passed away before him.

When he lay on the sickbed, looking at his son, daughter-in-law, and the pair of lovely twin grandsons, when he closed his eyes with a smile, his heart was surprisingly calm, and he couldn't tell whether this life was a reality or an illusion.

"Didi ......"

Just when Xiao Yuan thought that he was really going to die, suddenly a ticking prompt sounded, and he tried to open his eyes, but found himself standing in a black space.

"This is ......" Xiao Yuan looked up and down, left and right, and distant memories came back to his mind like a tide.

"The first phase of the chaos model of the ultimate transformation project of the human brain intelligent system has been deduced and constructed, and the second phase of the transformation project has been officially launched." A line of prompt information appeared in front of Xiao Yuan's eyes.
