Are you okay? ”
Tingting came to Gu Tao's side and looked at him with concern, and seeing the person in front of him, as well as the disappearing door, Gu Tao knew that he had missed the opportunity to make the final choice, and he stayed, completely cut off from that world.
I probably won't see anyone over there anymore, and it's actually good to stop here forever and live in peace.
But...... He could feel the heart-rending pain now.
Holding his chest, he fell on the sofa, the people around him were in a hurry, but he didn't have the slightest strength, the pain of determination made his whole heart like ashes, although the warmth brought by his parents and wife would one day dilute this feeling, but it was only diluted, and his world would never be the same again.
For Zhang Ting, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad, joy was because Gu Tao didn't leave in the end, and sadness was because the huge sadness visible to the naked eye had swallowed him, and she didn't know what she should do to calm this pain.
In the next few days, Gu Tao's mental state became worse and worse, and he had begun to reflect on his body, and he couldn't find the reason in the hospital, but he had lost his ability to speak and move, and sat in a wheelchair like a wasted person, looking at the leafy fields outside the window of his hometown.
The parents were very anxious, but Zhang Ting was very optimistic, she persuaded the two old people to give Gu Tao a little more time, and during this period, just like the days after Gu Tao jumped off the building, Zhang Ting took care of him as usual, wiped his body, fed him and chatted with him.
His only friend, the guy who was already living in poverty, also rushed back to his hometown, although there was no room for him here, he still brought the KFC family bucket to visit Gu Tao, just like at the beginning.
"For more than ten years, the whole family bucket is getting more and more stingy." He sat in front of Gu Tao, looked at his dead look, and said with a wry smile: "You get better quickly, I'm still waiting for you to teach me how to drive a bed." ”
After taking a sip of beer, he leaned back in his chair and stared at Gu Tao: "I have no family and no friends, if something happens to you again, I won't even have someone to talk to." ”
Gu Tao still didn't react, his eyes were full of death, seeing this scene, the old friend on the other side sighed, got up and said to Zhang Ting: "Tingting, you take good care of him, I will live in the old house at home in the past few days, and then go to the grave of my parents, remember to find me if there is anything." ”
"Okay, Brother Du."
"This guy has been like this since he was a child, and I hope he can survive this time."
"Definitely." Zhang Ting folded her clothes, walked to Siyuan's side, and gently touched his face: "Everything will be fine." ”
And Gu Tao at this moment, he has completely lost his sense of hearing and touch, as if he is a robot with power off, sitting there is not like a human ghost or a ghost, and he doesn't feel anything about all this, he only feels that he is trapped in the boundless darkness, the whole world is like a slime trapped in him, he can't speak or move, just like that, he struggles in the whirlpool.
I don't know how long it took, he suddenly felt a beam of light shining in front of him, the light became stronger and more dazzling, until the whole world lit up, his consciousness finally recovered, and his eyes were slowly adapting, and he saw a vague figure.
He was suddenly very panicked, he was afraid that it was Xin Chen in front of him, and he was also afraid that the person in front of him was Zhang Ting, and he was very afraid...... I'm really scared, because he doesn't want to lose any side, and he probably loses consciousness because he wants to escape from reality.
After the light was completely adapted, he saw Zhang Ting's back, drying clothes on the balcony, wearing the pajamas they bought in the year they got married, looking silly but making people feel stable and comfortable.
"Tingting."
He screamed softly, Zhang Ting turned around quickly, the hanger in his hand fell to the ground, looked at Gu Tao in surprise, and then ran over desperately, and said eagerly with a crying voice: "Brother! You're awake! ”
Gu Tao smiled lightly: "I'm sorry for worrying you." ”
"It's okay, it's okay...... We're all fine. Zhang Ting knelt in front of Gu Tao, threw herself into his arms, and after crying silently for a while, she pretended to be calm and said, "As long as you can wake up, everything will be fine......"
Looking at the girl crying on top of him, Gu Tao seemed to have understood that the world he had been thinking about all these years might really be fake. He may not be the one who calls the wind and rain, maybe he doesn't have any spaceships, Satania may be some strange and conjured name, Xin Chen may be just a microcosm of martial arts, and the sixth son is the white moonlight in his heart.
It's over thirty years old, it's time to return to reality, the world is still running, and Sect Master Gu has become a thing of the past.
Letting go of the struggle in his heart, Gu Tao suddenly brightened, he let out a long breath, and gently stroked Zhang Ting's hair: "Tingting...... I'm hungry and want to eat braised pork. ”
"I'll do it for you!" Zhang Ting got up and wiped away her tears: "You have a good rest, is there anything else you want to eat?" ”
"Sweet and sour pork ribs."
"Hmmm! I'm going to buy it. ”
After Zhang Ting went out, when she returned, she also came back with her parents, they didn't ask Gu Tao what happened, but the whole family began to get busy, and began to put up a table of good dishes like the New Year.
Listening to the noise in the kitchen, the sound of his mother scolding his father for being clumsy, the sound of kitchen knives cutting vegetables, the sound of pressure cookers, the whirring sound of electric fans and the noise of cicadas in the clear world outside, Gu Tao had a complete sense of belonging for the first time.
He turned his head sideways, supported his head with one hand, and muttered in a low voice, "Everyone...... Goodbye, thank you for being with me for so many years, it's time for me to come back to reality. ”
And at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and this voice made his whole person feel as if he had pressed the stop button.
"Time synchronization is underway, nerve readings are being reconnected, consciousness damage caused by overload is repaired, world factors are read, world information is correlated."
"Captain, welcome back."
Gu Tao was stunned for a moment, and he tried to ask: "Satania?" ”
"I'm here."
Suddenly, ecstasy erupted from Gu Tao's body, he stood up directly from his wheelchair, and then jumped directly from the upstairs, and this time he did not fall, but hovered on the balcony.
"Captain, are you crazy?"
Gu Tao slowly returned to the room from the balcony fence, and he breathed heavily with his hands on the desk.
And Satania continued: "Due to the overload pulse, the centaur core system and your consciousness system have been damaged to varying degrees, and after emergency repairs, they have returned to normal, and thirty-seven seconds ago, I reconnected to your consciousness, and the communication that had been cut off by unknown information was restored again. Captain, you're back. ”
Gu Tao felt a little dizzy in his head, and he whispered, "How long have I been asleep?" ”
"Three days and four hours, now that your world of consciousness has been completely reproduced into the virtual arena and occupies 32% of the virtual arena's computing power, Miss Tifa is improving the algorithm and enhancing the performance of the virtual arena, and the final result is that the occupancy rate of this world is about 13 to 15 percent, which is within the acceptable range. And, Captain, you have all the jurisdiction in this world and can carry out any order. ”
"Let's analyze the causes here, and then ......" Gu Tao glanced back at the kitchen and whispered, "Help me see if Tingting is pregnant." ”
"Understood, Captain."
After a long wait of a few seconds, Satania's voice came: "Congratulations Captain, the fertilized egg has been implanted." ”
"Daddy again?"
Gu Tao laughed, Satania's sudden surprise diluted the haze of the previous ten years, just like a poor man who had been trapped by money all his life suddenly won the lottery of 50 million, the kind of joy of clearing the clouds and seeing the blue sky, Gu Tao couldn't wait to rush to the clouds and roar at the sky.
At this time, Zhang Ting walked in, she saw Gu Tao talking to herself again, she was a little worried, but when she got closer, she heard Gu Tao talking to herself that she was going to be a father and was naming the child, she was so ashamed that she couldn't do it at the time, and gently walked behind Gu Tao and put her head on his back: "Fool...... How can it be so fast. ”
Gu Tao turned around: "Tingting......"
"Huh?"
Gu Tao glanced at the kitchen and found that his parents were still busy, so he coughed: "Mom, Dad, I'll go out for a walk with Tingting." ”
"Go ahead, don't go far, eat right away."
"Hmm."
When Zhang Ting looked confused, Gu Tao pulled her to the top of the building, and Zhang Ting covered the sun with her hands: "What are you doing here?" ”
Gu Tao laughed, hugged Princess Zhang Ting, and then he looked at her and said, "I can fly." ”
Of course Zhang Ting didn't believe it, she hit Gu Tao, but the next moment, she suddenly felt that she was in the air, and when she looked back, she found that she was already hundreds of meters in the air, and Gu Tao held her and overlooked the entire county.
"You...... Elder brother...... You ......"
Zhang Ting was a little speechless in surprise, but Gu Tao didn't say anything, just gently put her down and held her hand: "Take two steps." ”
Zhang Ting stretched out her feet in fear and curiosity, this unconditional trust really hasn't changed from beginning to end. Her footsteps were steady in the air, as if she was stepping on the ground, she tentatively took a few steps forward, and when she found that it was really on the ground, she turned around and looked at Gu Tao with surprised eyes.
"I'll go back...... No, I'm back. Gu Tao opened his arms to Zhang Ting: "Tingting, come and hug." ”
Zhang Ting swooped into his arms, and in such a pounce, they had reappeared on the roof of their home.
"Brother...... You really are ......."
"Hmm." Gu Tao pinched her face: "I really am." ”
"That'...... Will you still go? ”
"If you don't go, you don't have to go." Gu Tao shook his head and said, "But you can't go over there for the time being, but I can bring them for you to get to know them." ”
"Captain, I recommend that it is best not to execute like this, Zhang Ting can't accept the fact that you are a scumbag." The inopportune appearance of Satania's reminder made Gu Tao as uncomfortable as eating......
However, Gu Tao's eyes rolled: "Tingting, ......"
"Wait!" Zhang Ting suddenly raised her head and looked at Gu Tao, her expression became solemn: "In other words, I will meet the sixth son who is too beautiful to speak?" ”
"Huh?"
"I ...... I'm so ugly......"
"You're not ugly!" Gu Tao bent down and kissed her: "You are the best-looking." ”
"No way!" Zhang Ting pouted: "I just don't look good......"
To be honest, Zhang Ting is really not beautiful enough, but she is really one of Gu Tao's spiritual sustenance, and Gu Tao also understands from her that sometimes what men need is not their appearance, but more of a trickle over time.
"Husband......"
"Huh?"
"I'm going to get my nose full."
