When I learned that I had cancer, I happened to learn that my wife was pregnant. When she excitedly told him that they would have a child, Ke Qinghe couldn't be happier.

He didn't believe he was terminally ill and could have children.

Whether his wife is having an affair or not, he can find out through a private investigator with just a phone call, but he didn't do it, just silently angry and didn't come home for several days.

He still had a glass of wine in his hand, but it was almost hot in his palm, and he didn't take a sip. There was also a packet of medicine brought back from the hospital on the bar, which had not yet been opened.

To eat or not to eat? To drink or not to drink?

And he suddenly wondered in his heart that if this child was really not his, maybe it would be a good thing......

……

He learned about the hospital's experimental project by chance from a friend who was an investor in the project. Once hibernation is successful, spanning time is not a problem. Everyone wants to go on a trip to the future.

However, Ke Qinghe was the first to participate in the experiment.

Experiments are a sign of risk, and life is no longer important to him anyway, and risk is just a matter of closing his eyes.

Before entering the official hibernation, Ke Qinghe had to conduct preliminary experiments, and he came to the hospital on time that day.

The nurse took him to a laboratory under the hospital, where the lights were bright and blinding in the white environment. The windowless ground is much colder than the above,

He had to freshen up and change into a sterile gown and enter the room.

This room has a closed egg, an oval transparent egg, that falls horizontally to the ground with a faintly visible flowing liquid inside. There are a lot of data cables at the end of it, which are connected to another room, and there are two people in white coats, facing the computer.

"Please relax." The nurse smiled and tried to take off his sterile gown.

"What are these lines for?"

"One power line, one feeding line, and the rest are just data lines for temporary monitoring." The nurse explained, "This is just a model, and the finished sleeping pod will be smaller than it." ”

Ke Qinghe gently touched the egg, there was no temperature.

"The temperature it sets now is the temperature of our human body, and when you enter, it will slowly adjust the temperature, and like your body temperature, your body will quickly adapt, and then it will fix around you, driving your body temperature to gradually drop and enter hibernation."

"Oh......" Ke Qinghe looked at the liquid in it, a little incredible.

"Please come in." The nurse opened the top of the eggshell and signaled that he could enter.

Ke Qinghe had already taken off his clothes, and Guan Yoyo's body was not in the eyes of the nurses, so they were probably not surprised. Ke Qinghe quickly got into it and lay down in a slightly viscous liquid.

Oddly enough, this one feels quite comfortable.

The nurse connected the data cables to his head, chest, and wrists one by one: "These will monitor your status and will also wake you up at the appointed time." ”

"Oh, for how long?"

"The observation phase lasts five to seven days, which is what we all wrote in the notice."

"Oh, I didn't look closely." Ke Qinghe really didn't care about this.

After arranging, the nurse took out a needle and drew out some blood samples: "When you come out, we need to draw blood again, compare it." ”

"Okay, do as you have to be." Ke Qinghe had slowly closed his eyes.

"Alright, I'm going to close. The whole process you can think of as sleeping. ”

"Hmm...... Can you dream? ”

The nurse slowly closed the door: "When you wake up, will you tell us?" ”

With the sound of the edge stuck, Ke Qinghe's surroundings quieted down, and he could feel his breathing and heartbeat, accompanied by the flow of water, which was particularly clear.

The water does not look like stagnant water, but moves slowly, as if it is giving the body just the right massage. With your eyes closed, you can really imagine that you are lying on a peaceful lake, surrounded by mountains, verdant green trees, and white clouds......

"Mr. Ke?"

In the haze, the sound of water in his ears had stopped, and with the sound of his own breathing, he slowly opened his eyes and saw the white-clothed nurse above.

"Mr. Ke, you're finally awake." She smiled, helped Ke Qinghe up from the water, and then dressed him.

Ke Qinghe stepped out of the egg, feeling a little dizzy, and struggled to win his eyes.

"It's a hypoglycemic reaction, normal." The nurse helped him out the door.

I followed the elevator upstairs, and in the lounge, the familiar position was still sunny. He sat down carefully, the sun behind him was warm, and his tiredness slowly dispersed.

"Mr. Ke, your clothes are here." The nurse took all his things out of the cupboard and placed them on the side of the couch, "I'll prepare some food for you right away." ”

"Oh."

Maybe it was because he had just woken up, Ke Qinghe didn't want to say anything, and he had some vague memories in his head, but he couldn't recall them for a moment.

That's fine. What could there be?

He changed into his own clothes, this was the first time he had worn cotton clothes since he hibernated, and this feeling was very special, as if every cell in his body was particularly sensitive, feeling the stimulation of the senses brought by different materials.

He got up and casually touched the things around him: the soft sofa, the graininess of the weaving; Wooden table top, smooth surface texture; There is also the alloy of the table lamp, which is slightly cool and smooth......

"Mr. Ke, please dine." The nurse pushed open the door and brought in a custom-made meal.

"That...... How long did I sleep? Ke Qinghe couldn't help but ask.

"A month." The nurse replied, placing the food on the table.

"A month?" Ke Qinghe was surprised, "Didn't you say that there were only five to seven days?" ”

"Yes." The nurse stood up, "We tried to wake you up many times, but you quickly fell into a deep sleep, and this was repeated several times, and it was only today that you officially woke up." ”

"Huh?" Ke Qinghe was surprised, and suddenly remembered his wife's face in his mind.

He quickly reached for the phone in his pocket, turned it on, and waited for its screen to light up. Finally, the phone still had the only red battery left, and he pressed the blue icon, and before he could find his wife's contact profile picture, he had already begun to pop up unread messages.

"Ke Qinghe, why are you hiding from me?"

"Ke Qinghe, why are you avoiding me?"

"Ke Qinghe, are you ready to give up on me?"

"Ke Qinghe, don't you even want your child?"

Ke Qinghe's hand holding the mobile phone trembled slightly, he didn't know what to reply, he just felt that his head was buzzing, and he sat down.

With dull eyes and weak hands, he accidentally dropped his phone on the ground.

The nurse picked up the phone and placed it to his left: "Mr. Ke, you have to eat something first, you already have a significant hypoglycemic reaction." ”

Ke Qinghe was stunned, and then sighed deeply.

He began to pick up the spoon and stuff food into his mouth, sip after bite, letting the taste on the tip of his tongue temporarily numb his brain.

"Hello, Mr. Ke."

At this moment, a doctor walked outside the door with a report in his hand.

Ke Qinghe knew him, it was Dr. Luo, who received him at that time.

"Mr. Ke, your dormant report has come out." He sat down across from Ke Qinghe and opened the report, "The report shows that your body is able to adapt well and maintain stability when it is dormant. Your brain's nerves are relaxed when they are dormant, which is why you sleep longer than the average person. ”

Ke Qinghe listened and ate everything in three or two clicks.

"Excuse me, did you have any dreams while you were sleeping?"

Ke Qinghe put down the spoon, raised his eyes, and looked at him: "No." He said, but closed his eyes again and thought, "Even if there is, I have forgotten." ”

Doctor Luo on the other side smiled slightly and nodded: "This shows that your state is very good, many people who have many dreams, in fact, the brain is not fully in the state, which will affect the stability of the entire dormancy process." ”

"Oh?" Ke Qinghe leaned back on the sofa, "That means I'm particularly suitable for hibernation?" ”

Dr. Luo nodded: "Yes, it meets the requirements." If you want, after a week, we can start a real hibernation. ”

Ke Qinghe was about to speak, but swallowed again, he was silent for a moment, looking at the water glass next to the food, glowing in the sun.

"I want to go back and think about it." He replied suddenly, "Is it okay to contact you when the time comes?" ”

Dr. Luo glanced at the nurse beside Ke Qinghe, still smiling, and said, "Yes." ”

The nurse took the items off the table and walked out of the lounge.

"Then Mr. Ke won't bother you, if you feel that your body is recovering, you can go back." Dr. Luo said, left a report, and said goodbye to him.

Ke Qinghe looked at the blue-covered report and had no intention of taking it away.

He picked up his phone, and the low battery display popped up, obscuring the conversation on the chat screen. Those conversations all came from the same person, and he didn't reply to a single word, from the beginning to the present.

Finally, it takes a bit of courage to press the word.

"I'm sorry, I've been a little busy lately."

"Message delivery failed."

Before Ke Qinghe could react, the message could no longer be sent.

His heart was beating from slow to intensifying, the strongest he'd felt in all these days.

He quickly grabbed his coat and went downstairs to the parking lot to find his car.

He must hurry back, he must go back and explain!

……

When the car drove back to the building on his outskirts, it was already dark, and the lawn in front of the house had been untended for a long time, and the weeds were growing wildly.

He pressed his fingerprint and opened the door, where the smell of dust reminded him that there was no one here.

"Shi Lan?"

He called, and there was an empty echo, and no one answered him.

"Shi Lan!"

He shouted as he walked upstairs, searching every room, every corner, and there was still nothing here. When he returned to the room, in the closet, his wife Shi Lan's clothes were still there, and he didn't want to run away from home, and he didn't even take away the jewelry and bags she liked.

His phone was still automatically turned off because there was no power. He found the charging cable, plugged in his phone, and lay on his back on the bed.

This double bed, how long has it been since I felt its softness, and even the smell of Shi Lan's shampoo on the pillow is already minimal.

He took his mobile phone and dialed Shi Lan's number, and there was only a prompt to turn off the phone on the other end.

Then he tentatively called his parents and asked him about it, but there was nothing else to say, they should not know about Shi Lan's pregnancy, and her sudden disappearance.

On the other hand, he wanted to call Shi Lan's friend, but after thinking about it carefully, she had no friends, after marrying him, they all revolved around him, and he didn't ask about her life.

Ke Qinghe suddenly realized that he didn't know his wife at all.

He kept rubbing the bridge of his nose to soothe his sore head. Who else can he contact if he doesn't come out, Shi Lan's parents died in a car accident five years ago, and her relatives should only have one aunt who is still living in the town, but Ke Qinghe has no contact information about her.

Everything seemed to be broken, cut off by himself.

Now, he is the only one left in the whole family.

He didn't know where she had gone, he didn't know what had happened to the baby in her womb, and he didn't even know how else to contact her......

And the mobile phone next to the bed seems to have become his only relative.
