16 years

When Fu Yan woke up again, it was already the next morning.

He opened his eyes from the chaotic and heavy dream, and his eyes were pitch black, only sporadic bits of light could be seen from the gaps in the fabric.

He froze for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to touch his eyes, but before he raised his hand, he was blocked by a slightly heavy force.

Liu Ruosong watched him overnight in front of the hospital bed, pulling the quilt for him and opening the window every once in a while. He couldn't hold on until dawn, and took a nap while holding Fu Yan's hand. Before he fell asleep, he felt With a sudden movement of his hands, he woke up instantly.

"Brother?" Liu Ruosong overreacted and leaned over, holding his hand that was about to take off the blindfold: "Is there something wrong with you?"

Fu Yan smelled the subtle smell of disinfectant in the ward, but because he had completely woken up from the chaos, he no longer regarded everything in front of him as his previous life.

——After all, according to the ending of his previous life, he had already been burned to ashes and blown out along the chimney. No matter how special a zombie is, it is not so special that it can make a human from clay.

Fu Yan vaguely remembered that he seemed to wake up once last night, but because he wasn't awake at the time, he didn't remember what happened. He only remembered sporadically that Liu Ruosong seemed to be holding his hand and didn't let go.

"...It's okay." Fu Yan gently squeezed Liu Ruosong's hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you still have to match the password this time?"

Liu Ruosong did not accept this joke like he did countless times before.

He stared at Fu Yan quietly, trying to see something on his face, but found nothing.

Fu Yan is just like the previous restarts, he seems to be well adjusted and conscious, except that his face is a little paler, and he looks a little weaker.

But Liu Ruosong knew it wasn't.

The scene at midnight yesterday is still vivid in my memory, and that can't be explained by a restart chaos.Liu Ruosong clearly knew that Fu Yan's nerves had broken, otherwise he would never have been able to speak out for help when he recognized himself.

He had wounds in his heart, and he was still afraid in his subconscious, but Fu Yan hid all these when he was awake, and didn't want him to worry.

Perhaps it was because he didn't respond immediately, the abnormal silence made Fu Yan feel uncomfortable, he was blindfolded, turned his head uneasily, and turned sideways in the direction of Liu Ruosong.

"Ruosong?" Fu Yan called out.

Liu Ruosong pursed her lips.

Fu Yan has tried his best to hide it, but many clues cannot be hidden in a short time. Liu Ruosong wanted Fu Yan to relax a bit, but he was afraid to tell the truth that it would make him more nervous. I can't wait to fly back to Yancheng immediately and chop Shao Xuefan into pieces.

Liu Ruosong didn't speak, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back if he spoke, so he just held Fu Yan's face and kissed him without saying a word.

Fu Yan was stunned, as if he didn't expect him to come out so suddenly.

His muscles tensed and then relaxed, like some kind of conditioned reflex.

Liu Ruosong kissed very gently, he moistened Fu Yan's lips with the tip of his tongue, and then tentatively explored inside.

Except for the time when he was infected in his previous life, Fu Yan never refused him, he obediently let go of his teeth, and touched the tip of Liu Ruosong's tongue hesitantly.

His lower lip still had the wound from being bitten out last night, and the smell of blood leaked out from his movements. Fu Yan was a little afraid that Liu Ruosong would dislike him, so he subconsciously wanted to back away, but was kissed more deeply by Liu Ruosong. .

"What are you afraid of?" Liu Ruosong said softly, "What do you look like I haven't kissed before?"

At the end of his previous life, Fu Yan had turned into a zombie so that only a little human was left, and he still followed suit.

Fu Yan also seemed to recall that scene, and the muscles in his back froze uncontrollably.Liu Ruosong rubbed his back soothingly, relaxed his movements, carefully wrapped the tip of his tongue around him, and lightly licked the wound on his lip.

It seems that they haven't kissed for a long time, Liu Ruosong thought.

The person he has been waiting for has been separated from him for several years, and most of the time he can only meet through glass or phone. Although he is close at hand, it is more desperate than being separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

Liu Ruosong's eyes were hot, but he couldn't cry, he kissed Fu Yan gently and delicately, like touching a fragile treasure.

Fu Yanqiang was used to it, and was not used to being coaxed by him like this. He seemed a bit at a loss, and looked a little pitifully well-behaved.

Liu Ruosong was very patient. He waited until Fu Yan relaxed and the muscles in his palms were no longer tense, then slowly let go of him, and kissed his eyes through the cloth.

"This is in the ward in City D. You were injured before." Liu Ruosong whispered, "I'll untie the cloth strips for you. Open your eyes and see?"

Fu Yan nodded.

So Liu Ruosong sat on the edge of the bed, facing Fu Yantie very close to each other, stretched his wrist from his front to the back, trying to untie the knot of the cloth strip.

But before he touched anything, Fu Yan suddenly reached out and grabbed his forearm.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ruosong instantly became nervous: "Why are you uncomfortable?"

"No." Fu Yan paused and said, "Ruosong, you don't have to be so cautious."

As Fu Yan spoke, his fingers tightened slightly. He seemed to want to make his words look more believable, and he tried to explain: "It's a repeat, and my body is not harmed."

Liu Ruosong wants to ask what about you, your body is not injured, but what about your heart.

Restarting backtracking time, backtracking the state of the body, and even the progress of the entire world, but not the heart.

Those memories will eventually leave traces time after time, but it's just deep and shallow.

"The last time was too long, and I might not get used to it again this time." Fu Yan whispered: "Give me some time, and I will adjust it."

Does he adjust like this every time?Liu Ruosong thought suddenly.

Hypnotically telling himself that he has come back again, and then covering those painful memories with rational reality - as long as the future doesn't become like that again, everything before can be regarded as non-existent?

Liu Ruosong pursed his lips, wanting to ask him a lot of questions, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Forget it, Liu Ruosong thought, I have to give him time.

And maybe this is also a good thing, Fu Yan's character is more rational, he has his own unique way of dealing with things, as long as he gets used to the current "safe" world, maybe it will be better for his recovery.

I also have to trust him, Liu Ruosong thought.

"Isn't it natural for me to care about you?" Liu Ruosong said lightly, "What does it have to do with your previous life?"

Fu Yan froze for a moment, and loosened Liu Ruosong's hand a little.

Liu Ruosong didn't break free, but leaned forward following this posture, and untied the cloth knot behind Fu Yan's head.

"I like you, I love you, I am your notarized guardian." Liu Ruosong stretched out his hand to cover Fu Yan's eyes, covering most of the light for him: "So I care about you, I am nervous about you, and I feel sorry for your injury. It's not a matter of course. Is it——slowly open your eyes."

Fu Yan slowly adapted to the light outside, and slowly opened his eyes.He held Liu Ruosong's wrist and gently pushed his hand up.

He had been in a coma for more than a week, and looking at Liu Ruosong now, he felt a little haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had lost a lot of weight.

It was a bright day, and Liu Ruosong was wearing a pure black training uniform with a belt tied around his waist, and a pair of high-top military boots. His whole body was so uniformly black that he looked like a demon at first glance.

Fu Yan couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips and said, "Why are you dressed like this?"

Liu Ruosong couldn't help grinding his teeth, and squeezed Fu Yan's hand as a gesture, thinking that he was afraid that you would get confused when you saw the white coat, and you would laugh at me.

"Everything else has been washed." Liu Ruosong made a fool of himself, leaned over and whispered, "Let me see your injury."

Last night, he tossed so hard that most of the healed wounds were torn apart. Liu Ruosong wiped the blood for a long time, and now he is still a little worried.

"...It's okay." Fu Yan said, "I don't feel any pain."

Fu Yan didn't care about this at all. He deliberately controlled it after he woke up. The neuralgia was not as obvious as before, but it still happened from time to time.While talking to Liu Ruosong, he convinced himself in his heart that he had started all over again, and he didn't care about these trivial matters for the time being.

Liu Ruosong also knew that he couldn't get anything out of asking him, so he took a look at his collar and felt relieved when he didn't see any more blood.

He pulled up Fu Yan's collar, and it happened that there was a knock on the door of the ward, and He Tang's voice sounded outside.

"Brother Xiaoliu?" He Tang said, "It's me."

"Ah, good." Liu Ruosong said quickly, "Come in."

He Tang agreed, and pushed the door open from the outside.In her hand was a small tray with some breakfasts and a sachet of oral glucose.

"Huh, Captain? Are you awake?" He Tang was stunned for a moment, then his brows were beaming with joy, he put the tray on the coffee table next to him, and hurried over: "You don't know why you—"

Before she finished speaking, Liu Ruosong suddenly frowned, gave her a wink, and shook his head very lightly.

"What happened to me last night?" Fu Yan asked.

"Ah..." He Tang choked for a moment, and when he got to the edge of his mouth, he forced a twist and replaced it with another sentence: "You suddenly had a fever, you scared Brother Xiaoliu to death."

Liu Ruosong secretly gave her a look of approval, and decided to praise her adaptability in private afterwards.

Fu Yan was not suspicious, he frowned, and turned to look at Liu Ruosong.

"You haven't slept all night?" Fu Yan said.

"I'm sorry, brother, I was wrong. I'll just sit here for a while after dinner." Liu Ruosong said, "No delay."

Fu Yan frowned, and seemed to want to say something, but Liu Ruosong admitted his mistake too quickly, and he couldn't begin.

So he could only turn his attention back to He Tang.

"Why are you back?" Fu Yan asked in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you to watch the research institute?"

"Oh, we've already searched the research institute." He Tang stood upright like a conditioned reflex, and began to report his work: "However, according to the investigation by the explosion-proof team, there are still bombs inside the research institute that cannot be dismantled. .Although Joe Eden may have left in a hurry and did not have time to activate the self-destruct device, but to be on the safe side, we have withdrawn the useful things first. After that, the next step is mainly—"

"Stop." Liu Ruosong suddenly stretched out his hand, and stopped in front of the two of them, blocking them one by one.

"During sick leave, we are not allowed to talk about business affairs," Liu Ruosong said.
