I am in a world where time stands still

Chapter 7 The world of adults

"Mom, I didn't lie to you, I'm really fine!"

"Really, there are no missing arms or legs!"

"Okay, I'll play a video with you after I hang up the phone, I promise, everything is fine..."

Xiao Fan was a little dumbfounded.

Mom finally got the news too.

When she heard that Xiao Fan's plane crashed, his mother suddenly felt that the sky had fallen.

She didn't even dare to call Xiao Fan.

This always strong woman cried on the spot when she finally heard her son's familiar voice on the phone.

To be honest, Xiao Fan was shocked.

Growing up so big, it was the first time he met his mother crying so sadly and unscrupulously.

……

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Fan didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately clicked on the video sent by his mother.

Sure enough, when my mother saw him, she cried so much that she was heartbroken, weeping with joy...

The look of not caring, really turned into a helpless little girl all of a sudden.

Xiao Fan's throat suddenly choked up, as if something was blocking him.

All along, from childhood to adulthood, he relied on his parents.

Parents are ordinary and great.

Even though Xiao Fan is already in his 20s, before his father got sick, he was still the boy he used to be, and he didn't need to change a bit.

Still can be so pure, carefree.

Until this moment, his mother's tears hit his heart like lightning, making him understand instantly.

Whether it is passive acceptance or active choice, he must grow up.

This family, their own parents, they also need their own protection and love.

I am old, and my parents are old.

Especially this year, Dad is sick, and Mom is taking care of Dad alone.

All this is really hard.

But his parents never complained to him, but took it on themselves so that he could continue to concentrate on his studies.

It wasn't until he heard the bad news of the plane crash that his mother collapsed instantly.

She didn't even dare to tell her husband who was lying on the hospital bed, but just dialed Xiao Fan's phone almost desperately.

It's hard to imagine how scared she was.

She was afraid of losing the two most important men in her life one after another!
Hey……

The world of adults, the life of ordinary people, an ordinary family of three in a huge social system.

All of this is really difficult.

……

"How is it? Mom, can you see clearly? I'm fine, don't worry! The doctor will let us leave the hospital today."

Although Xiao Fan had a sore nose, he still grinned, showing his white teeth, and gave his mother a relaxed smile, so as to reassure the frightened mother.

……

"Money? No, no, Mom, I don't need money here."

"Yes, the airline has already paid for the medical expenses, and my air ticket is still insured."

"Really, we don't need to pay a penny!"

Xiao Fan explained a series of aftermath measures to his mother in detail.

In fact, the joint investigation team stationed in Rongcheng for the first time stared at it. The airline did not dare to neglect it at all, and handled all kinds of matters surprisingly quickly and perfectly.

Xiao Fan repeated it no less than ten times before his mother was finally skeptical and no longer worried about Xiao Fan's medical expenses.

"It's good, it's good, it's good, it's good, I'm so worried, I really..."

Until this time, her mother was still a little incoherent, and kept repeating her fears.

And Xiao Fan was also uncharacteristically, listening to his mother's nagging seriously, without the slightest bit of impatience.

On the contrary, he even listened to his mother's nagging endlessly with some joy and satisfaction.

After all, he had thought that he would never have the chance to listen to this nagging again.

At this moment, for the first time, Xiao Fan felt that he had grown up.

He also understands the difficulty of adults.

My father fell ill, and my mother has been strong to carry the family without any complaints.

However, mother is also a woman after all!

How much she must hope that someone can rely on herself!
And at this moment, Xiao Fan told himself very clearly.

I want to be the person that his mother can rely on!
……

"Mom, don't talk about me. How are you? Is Dad feeling better?"

Xiao Fan's eyes were red, and he moved the phone away so that his mother would not notice it.

His father's illness made him feel an invisible pressure.

"Your dad, it's okay, it's quite stable. Don't worry, I'm here..."

Mother hesitated to answer, her mouth opened, as if she wanted to say something more, but she didn't say it after all.

Xiao Fan is not stupid, he can see it right away.

"Mom, what's the matter? Is there any difficulty at home?"

"No……"

"Mom! I'm already this old, and I can help the family share their worries!" Xiao Fan became a little anxious, and his voice raised a lot, "If there is any difficulty, let's find a solution together, at least we can have a discussion with each other, can't we?"

"Hmm..." His mother was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly, but still smiled stubbornly on her face.

"The doctor said that a new drug has been released recently to treat your father's illness, and the effect should be better..."

Xiao Fan's eyes flashed brightly, "That's great! Haha, Mom, our family is lucky! Hurry up and give Dad a new medicine. Will Dad's illness improve soon?"

"Hey..." Mom shook her head, "But that drug has just been launched and is not yet covered by medical insurance, so it cannot be reimbursed..."

"If you can't get reimbursed, you have to use it." Xiao Fan grabbed the phone and pressed his face to the screen. "It's important to treat Dad!"

"Well, I know...Xiao Fan, I think the same way, even if you sell everything, you must cure your father's illness as soon as possible. But..."

Mother's eyes were shining again, and tears were shining.

"But, our family really has no money. I treated your father for so long before, and the money is almost spent."

"How about asking aunt and uncle to borrow some more?"

"Hey, I have already borrowed a lot of money from them. Xiaofan, you have to know, we can't empty out all the relatives and friends because your father is sick? Their family is not rich..."

"Um……"

Xiao Fan lowered his head and fell silent.

What mom said was true.

He couldn't ask for anything more, Mom had done her best.

How much he wished he could do something, but he is a poor student, and he has nothing!

At this moment, Xiao Fan once again deeply realized the difficulties of life.

Even though he had just narrowly escaped death, he had to admit that this did not mean that he would not have to face all kinds of hardships in life after the rest of his life.

……

After the video with his mother ended, Xiao Fan felt extremely heavy.

Standing blankly in front of the window of the hospital bed, he stared at the busy traffic outside the window for a long time in a daze.

Helpless, helpless, and incompetent, Xiao Fan's mood was as low as dust.

How he wished that he could get help from the heavens and quickly change all this terrible situation!
Allowing him to make the impossible possible the way he narrowly escaped a plane crash.

Yes, the system...

Xiao Fan subconsciously opened the system panel again.

Properties are unchanged.

The system point value is 1 point left.

Open the system store, oh, the only lit window bar has changed.

"Time still lv2".

Xiao Fan curiously clicked on the inventory, but he couldn't see the detailed description of the skill, only the purchase price.

[Consume 10 system points to upgrade the "time still" skill to lv2. 】

Ok……

Xiao Fan suddenly became a little excited.

He has used lv1's "time stillness" several times.

Although the scope and duration of the skills are embarrassing, they still have unexpected effects.

After a few times of practice, Xiao Fan had to say that this "time still" skill is really a bug-level existence!

Especially the "Static Time" lv33 special edition that he only used once, it's like turning things around!
Xiao Fan once again ignited his longing, hoping to see what the "time stillness" of lv2 is like as soon as possible.

Well, there are still 9 system points missing.

Earn points now!

but……

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan was embarrassed again.

He doesn't seem to know how to earn points...

The previous 5 points were obtained from successfully escaping from a plane crash.

So, what about the future?

Xiao Fan guessed, the system...should contact him again?

For example, send him a task, or provide some clues?

After all, this can be explained logically, otherwise, where would the system points come from?

At least for now, he hasn't found other ways to get system points, such as exchanging them with real money.

Of course, then again, he has no money!

……

The door was pushed open suddenly, and the nurse Xiao Hua leaned halfway in.

"Xiao Fan, Doctor Yang said that he can be discharged from the hospital." Xiao Hua smiled with her eyes wide open, she seemed happier than Xiao Fan.

No wonder, this is a man of God who got off the crashed plane, and his whole body is almost unharmed.

For Xiao Hua, it was really an eye-opener!

She subconsciously felt that the four of Xiao Fan and the others must be gods, or else they would be out of luck.

With this attribute, many people are willing to be friends with them!

"Oh well!"

Xiao Fan turned around, took a breath, and prepared to bravely face the outside world and the difficulties in his own life.

"Please go to Dr. Yang's office first, Dr. Yang has something to explain."

After notifying Xiao Fan, Xiao Hua didn't enter the door, turned around and ran to notify others.

……

When Xiao Fan walked into Dr. Yang's office, Li Ruoying, Zhang Ruirui, and Qian Kangle had also arrived.

Zhou Jun sat on the seat next to Yang Chengyi, and nurse Xiaohua stood on the other side.

"Everyone is here!" Yang Chengyi nodded at everyone, "We did another set of comprehensive tests to make sure that everyone's health is fine, so we can leave the hospital later."

The four of them looked at each other, their thoughts were quite complicated.

Everyone is a survivor of a tragic plane crash, but they all lost key memories.

In this context, a kind of fate-linked emotion is slowly being established among several people.

Although we were all strangers before.

Except for Xiao Fan who "knew" Li Ruoying unilaterally.

At this time, Zhou Jun cleared his throat with a serious face.

"Attention everyone, Dr. Yang still has important matters to tell you!"
