Chapter 133: Reunion after a long absence
Xiao Lin woke up?
I was ecstatic and couldn't believe it. I don't have any doubts about whoever tells me this news, but it's the Han Fuyu in front of me who doesn't seem to be reliable. She and I are actually at most one-sided, and we are in Chicago, so there is no reason to know about Chen Xiaolin.
"Who told you this?" Although I was happy, I still had a little more eyes and asked her.
Han Fuyu put away his smile and replied with a serious face: "The process is a bit tortuous. Earlier, Xuan'er's husband from the technical department came in and wanted to talk to you directly to inform you of the news, but Xiao Chen refused, because you were exploring the map at the time and couldn't be distracted. “
"It just so happens that I don't have anything to do, so I'll help you bring a letter by the way by the mission of protecting the deputy commander-in-chief. If it weren't for Xuan'er's desire for me to see your reaction, I wouldn't have chosen to tell you in person, but sent a message to finish the story. “
After listening to it, I calmed down a little and thanked her, not only because of the good news she brought, but also because of the care she has been taking after being entrusted by others, otherwise I would have been split in half as early as the first exercise, not to mention that I would not have entered Xiao Chen's sight later and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
"You're welcome. Chen Xiaolin should be a very important person for you, so I won't bother anymore. "Han Fuyu clenched her fists, just like when I first met her.
With that, she exited the game, and the runes of the enchanted equipment on her body floated out sporadically after her body disappeared, and then melted into the air and completely dissipated.
"I'm going to Chicago when I have time." These were the last words she left me.
……
I exited the game after the north wind, slammed out of my bed and put on my shoes, and tossed the virtual machine aside.
In the dormitory, Victor, Chris and the others were already asleep, and the snoring shook the sky, one after another. After more than a dozen hours of fierce battles in the game, they were exhausted and slept like pigs, and my movement in bed didn't wake them up at all.
I grabbed the door with both feet in my shoes and rushed to the team leader's office with all my might. Luckily, there weren't many people in the narrow hallway of the bunker, so I ran to the door of the team leader's office without much obstruction along the way, and broke in without knocking.
"Rons!" I looked around and shouted.
The team leader's office was unexpectedly noisy, and people of all colors and languages were sitting, standing, or walking around. Normally, it's quiet here, only one or two team leaders are on duty, how can it be so noisy?
Ron heard me calling out to him, poked his head out of a pile of A4 papers, and asked me what had happened.
I got through the gap in the crowd, walked up to him, and asked him, "I heard that Chen Xiaolin of our team woke up, is it true?" Can I go and see it?"
Ron smiled awkwardly, pointed to the crowd at his desk, and replied, "You're so well-informed." In fact, she has been discharged from the hospital, everything is fine, and she is filling out the form there to prepare for the team. “
I looked in the direction of his finger and saw that among the crowds of figures, Chen Xiaolin was lying on the table writing something with a pen. The moment I saw her, I suddenly suspected that I was dreaming, and the person who was unconscious in bed before is now sitting in front of you so well, just like ordinary people.
My heart raced and I squeezed into the crowd to get a closer look at her. She is indeed Chen Xiaolin, with a light yellow hoodie, a refreshing ponytail, and a unique lily-like pure temperament, which I am all too familiar with.
"Xiao Lin." I leaned over and whispered in her ear.
Chen Xiaolin turned around in surprise, and a pair of crystal eyes met my eyes. I suddenly remembered the empty eyes of her unconscious, and some complicated feelings rose in my heart.
"Boss!" She screamed, the pen in her hand fell to the ground, and she hugged me with both hands at once, and she actually cried out, and her head was buried right in my chest. My chest was warm, and I don't know if it was wet with her tears, or melted by her words.
"Hey, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
She cried so much, and I was so clumsy that I didn't know how to comfort her. A few warm-hearted people around saw this scene and handed me a tissue, which I took after thanking her and helped her wipe away her tears.
"I'm unconscious...... Time...... Made a long ...... A long dream......" she said as she cried.
"What a dream."
"I dreamed...... Dream about someone pointing a gun at you...... Your hands are handcuffed...... Handed over......"
"Fool, that's just a dream, it's not real."
"Nope." She shook her head, took a tissue from my hand to wipe her tears, her eyes red, "But I'm scared...... I could only watch from the sidelines...... Watch as you are beaten to death and blood is pouring out of your head...... Keeps ...... The flow is endless......"
"Don't think about it, the nightmare should be forgotten."
"I've had this dream many times...... But...... But I don't dare to save you every time, I'm afraid of death......" Her mood gradually stabilized, but her tone was full of self-reproach, she sobbed a few times, and said to me in a low voice:
"Boss, I've always liked you......"
My mind went blank when I heard this, and I didn't know how to respond. I have never been confessed by a girl since I was a child, whether I am beautiful or ugly, like it or not, in short, I have no experience at all, and I originally wanted to open my mouth to comfort her words but also blocked back into my stomach by this sudden confession, so that I opened my mouth and was speechless for a while.
But before I could think of the words to deal with, Chen Xiaolin continued to take care of herself: "I used to think that I really liked you, but I didn't realize it until I was in a coma, but it wasn't. That kind of liking is actually just admiration, and when you are in danger, I can't stand up at all, or even give up my life......"
I sighed. She is indeed right, it is not valid to regard simple admiration as like, or even as love, this dream brings her not only pain, but also relief and relief.
Unrequited love is a painful and happy dream, and it is by no means a so-called love.
Looking at Chen Xiaolin in front of me, I suddenly remembered my previous self - I said that I liked Nangong Xuan'er, but in fact, I just admired her temperament and talent, not really liked it. Knowing that she and Aota Fujiichi came together, I still have a glimmer of hope in my heart, but this relationship ended in vain and couldn't withstand the impact of the years.
When I thought of this, my heart suddenly became empty.
"Xiao Lin, don't think too much, the past is over." I put away the tissues and said, "You're safe, that's the best news for me." After filling out the form, let's go to the restaurant, and I'll treat you to a delicious meal!"
Chen Xiaolin smiled, like a lily blooming in the sun after the rain.
