“…… Then, let's not bother much, Chu Jia, you don't have to worry about anything else, you can recuperate here with peace of mind. ”

With that, the middle-aged man and woman who were sitting in front of the black-haired girl's bed and had a faint resemblance to her stood up and prepared to leave.

"Ah, thank you, uncle, auntie."

The middle-aged man smiled, then turned his head slightly, and spoke to Rococo, who was sitting on the other side of the dark-haired girl's bed, looking rather restrained.

"Miss Coco too, because Chu Jia usually doesn't have much opportunity to contact her peers, we have always been a little worried that she has no friends, now we are relieved, thank you really for coming to visit Chu Jia."

Rococo, who was solemnly grateful, also quickly stood up and waved his hand.

"Where, this is as it should be, you are too polite, Uncle Jiang."

"Then, Miss Lao Keke, you stay here for a while more Chu Jia, and we will leave."

"Uncle walks slowly."

"Uncle Jiang walks slowly."

After the middle-aged man and woman left the ward, there were finally only two people left in the room, Rococo and the black-haired girl, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.

"Uh, uh...... Hmmm......"

Because of this familiar silent atmosphere, Rococo suddenly remembered the day when he and Chu Jiajia had an awkward quarrel in the game a few days ago, but this time Rococo naturally didn't want to continue, thinking about what to say to break the embarrassment, but when the words came to his mouth, he found that he hadn't sorted out the language at all and didn't think about what to say, so he finally opened his mouth, but just stupidly uttered a few meaningless syllables.

But fortunately, the atmosphere between the two this time is indeed completely different from before.

"Poof......

Seeing Rococo's clumsy "performance", the black-haired girl, who originally didn't know how to speak, laughed subconsciously, and then, perhaps seeing Rococo's hard work in finding a topic, the black-haired girl didn't let her continue to struggle, but spoke first.

"Well, anyway, let's start with the very beginning, right? Just now, my uncle and they are here again, and I haven't even introduced myself to you, Coco. ”

With that, the black-haired girl smiled at Rococo with a familiar well-behaved smile but also a weakness that was unfamiliar to her.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Chujia, 18 years old this year, the ID in "Redemption" is Chu Jiajia, uh, relatives and friends call me Chu Jia, but if it's Keke you, I prefer you to call me 'Jiajia' like in the game."

With Chu Jiajia starting to talk, Rococo, who really had little experience in this area and didn't seem to have much talent, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"I, my name is Luo ...... Luo ......"

A series of words suitable for the name flashed in Rococo's mind, and at this time, she didn't care about complaining about her barren imagination, so she just took "Luo" as her surname and made up a suitable real identity name.

But before Luo Coco could come up with it, Chu Jiajia on the side spoke in some surprise.

"Ah, could it be Coco, your real name is Rococo, right?"

Rococo was stunned for a moment, and for a moment felt that this seemed like a good idea, so he nodded.

"Well, yes."

Chu Jiajia was a little surprised when she heard this, after all, even she, who didn't have much contact with the Internet before playing "Redemption", knew that today's online personal information security is a relatively serious social problem and is valued by everyone, but who would have thought that there was such a "not afraid of death" guy around her who still took his screen name as his real name.

"Uh, don't you feel unsafe like this? For example, there will be bad people who will get some of your personal information through the Internet and use it to do bad things and so on......"

Rococo subconsciously pursed his lips, putting aside that he didn't exist before this in reality, not to mention that he could make trouble on the Internet against her, a former digital life, Rococo thought that he had never encountered it.

"It's okay, no bad guy can hack me."

Listening to Rococo's confidence, just like the tone in the game when Rococo took her and her friends to brush a new boss that everyone didn't understand, Chu Jiajia's original idea of admonishing was suddenly dispelled.

Maybe it's because he doesn't have a shallow understanding of the Internet, or maybe it's because of some kind of "blind obedience" consciousness of Rococo that even Chu Jiajia can't figure out himself, Chu Jiajia will never doubt what Rococo said in this tone.

"Then, I'll call you Coco just like in the game?"

"Hmm."

Smiling and carefully looking at the Rococo in reality, Chu Jiajia spoke very curiously.

"Coco, I've been curious before, you're ...... Hybrid? ”

Rococo blinked, and then realized that he should have natural blonde hair but spoke Chinese like an ordinary Chinese, so Chu Jiajia felt like this.

"Yes, yes, my dad is Chinese, and my mom is...... I'm Russian, but I grew up in China, so I'm Chinese. ”

Chu Jiajia nodded, looking at Rococo's blonde hair with some envy.

"No wonder...... Russians, I've heard that blonde beauties are produced in Eastern Europe and Northern Europe, but your mother must be a big beauty. ”

Rococo had no choice but to laugh dryly when she heard this, she wisely did not answer this conversation, she still understands the truth that a lie needs more lies to fulfill the lie, and making up a virtual life experience is already a flaw, she doesn't want Chu Jiajia's curiosity to focus on her non-existent family background.

Although it was the first time they met in reality, perhaps because of the relationship they had been together for a long time in the game, there did seem to be some kind of tacit understanding between Chu Jiajia and Rococo, and the black-haired girl was keenly aware that Rococo seemed reluctant to mention her family, although she didn't know the reason, Chu Jiajia was still very empathetic and changed the topic.

"By the way, why did you come to the hospital? Is there something wrong with your body? ”

Sure enough, it was the problem that Rococo had been worried about before, but fortunately, the situation was completely different from what she imagined, it was not that she intentionally found Chu Jiajia in the hospital, but that Chu Jiajia "accidentally" met Rococo who appeared here in the hospital...... It's much easier to make up excuses.

"No, I came here to visit a relative of mine who also lives in this hospital, but when I was about to go back after the visit, I didn't expect to meet Jiajia You are also here."

Such a statement sounded quite reasonable, but after Chu Jiajia nodded, she still showed a slightly strange expression.

"I see...... Uh, but Coco, it's really hard for people to tell you're visiting a patient in your outfit......"

"Aha...... It's because, uh, the relative I came to visit is a cosplay...... Well, I just like this kind of exaggerated dress, so it's kind of a favorite......"

Seeing that Rococo was busy explaining in a panic, Chu Jiajia laughed, but she didn't laugh a few times, and suddenly it turned into a slight cough.

"Ahh Jiajia, are you alright? ”

“…… Ahem...... It's okay, ahem...... Sorry to worry you about Coco, I'm fine. ”

Although Chu Jiajia said this, Rococo still insisted on pouring out a glass of warm water from the thermos at hand, and then handed it to the black-haired girl.

"I'm really fine...... Hmm, okay. ”

Stared at by Rococo with "you have to drink", Chu Jiajia was a little happy in her helplessness and took the cup with both hands, and then drank it in small sips.

Looking at such a pitiful Chu Jiajia, Luo Coco couldn't hold back in the end, and slowly spoke after hesitation.

"Jiajia...... What about you? Why are you ...... What does this look like, in the hospital? ”

There was silence for a while, and Chu Jiajia's action of taking a sip of water stopped.

Slowly, Chu Jiajia held the water cup on her lap, her eyes did not look at Rococo, and a smile appeared on her face that did not have the slightest happiness but only made people feel sad.

“…… Hey, hey, I've been thinking just now, how long will you endure to ask this question again? ”

Looking at Chu Jiajia's appearance, Rococo unconsciously bit his lip.

In fact, from the conversation between Chu Jiajia and the two uncles and aunts who came to visit her just now, from the daily necessities and game helmets placed on the table after entering this single ward, Rococo has faintly tasted some signs. It's not that she's as optimistic as she thought when she came, it's just because Chu Jiajia has had a more serious illness in the past few days that Chu Jiajia will be temporarily hospitalized, in fact, the black-haired girl may be hospitalized for a lot longer than Rococo originally imagined...... In other words, Chu Jiajia's body may not be an ordinary disease that can be cured simply.

Sure enough, in the next sentence, Chu Jiajia confirmed the conjecture of Rococo that made her feel worried.

"My illness...... I don't know the names of those terms in medicine, but I just heard Uncle Liu, that is, my attending doctor, say that it is a rare genetic disease, because of this disease, I have been weaker than other children since I was a child, especially the body's resistance is very poor, for other children, it may just be a small illness with a cold and cough, drink more hot water and sleep, but as long as I am not careful, it will evolve into a serious symptom that threatens the body's function...... So, from a very young age, I often had to go to the hospital to be hospitalized, and then one time, on the way to the hospital, I was in a car accident, and my ...... My mom and dad died in that car accident, and although I survived, I was even weaker because of the injuries sustained in that car accident, and I have been in the hospital since then...... It's been about seven or eight years. ”

is obviously an extremely sad past, but when Chu Jiajia herself was telling it, it was calm and a little heart-wrenching...... No, it is more appropriate to say that it is not so much calm as empty.

Looking at Chu Jiajia like this, Rococo's eyes suddenly became a little blurry.

“…… Yes, I'm sorry, Jiajia...... I do not know...... I'm really sorry ......."
