take the throne [rebirth]

It was already late at night, and there were still a few rooms in the laboratory with lights on, as if they were planning to stay overnight.

This has long been commonplace for the researchers working here.

Even a long time ago, Bian Yi once ran to the laboratory angrily in such a late night, wanting to catch a man who was obsessed with research and forgot to go home, and gave him a good training.

But now, looking intently at these bright lights, following Kou Li in his footsteps, and walking towards the last room at the end of the front bit by bit, his heart seemed to have finally reacted, and began to beat vigorously.

He couldn't hear what Kou Li, who was walking in front of him, said to him in a low voice.

It seems to be waiting for him to turn on the light first, or it seems to be asking him if he is cold?

But the temperature of the entire laboratory is suitable, and the lights in each channel are very bright.

As long as the authority card is inserted into the groove, the temperature and lighting here will reach the optimum temperature in a short time.

It's dark and cold, which doesn't happen in this lab—not even if the power goes out suddenly.

Kou Li's card was inserted in the groove outside the laboratory door, the door opened automatically, and the lights inside also turned on at the moment before the door was fully opened.

Kou Li stood by the door, he stretched out his hand towards Bian Yi, and behind him was a bright light.

It seems that as long as Bian Yi puts his hands on it, he will no longer see darkness, and he will no longer feel cold.

It seemed that as long as he deliberately stepped into that door, all the coldness and darkness he felt in that dark room would be dispelled by something inside the door.

Bian Yi's hands were shaking, and his fingertips were cold.

When he got here, he came back to his senses. When he asked Kou Li, he was in a peaceful state of mind, maybe he just hadn't reacted yet.

So close, the answer he wanted to ask countless times is now only one step away.

But also because he was so close, he was inevitably timid.

Bian Yi began to feel that his whole body was going stiff, and he wanted to raise his hand, but his hand seemed to be completely numb and heavy, and he couldn't lift it up.

Kou Li was waiting for Bian Yi at the door, his eyes fell on Bian Yi's trembling hands, and he moved a small amount, as if he stopped halfway.

Kou Li walked over and held her hand.

He wrapped Bian Yi's cold fingertips in his hands, then held them tightly, and led Bian Yi into the laboratory.

The door closed automatically.

Compared with before the snow mountain trip, there are many more things in this laboratory.

But Bian Yi's eyes still fell on the semi-elliptical machine in the laboratory that Kou Li said was successful in research, but it was temporarily useless.

Bian Yi asked Kou Li if the person who rescued him from the system was Kou Li.

Kou Li didn't answer directly, but brought him here.

In fact, the answer is already obvious.

But Bianyi still wants to know—you don’t need to tell him the whole thing, just tell him the result first.

For those processes that he doesn't know, please tell him little by little in the future.

Because he knows that the process is the most painful and the most difficult for him to bear.

Kou Li came over with two chairs, he motioned to sit down, then squatted at the bottom of the machine, rummaging for something.

He agreed and said, "It will take a while for it to start."

Ben intended to sit in a chair and listen.

Kou Li continued: "I was going back to the laboratory that day. I always remembered that I still had two programs that I hadn't set up. I thought it hadn't succeeded yet."

Bian Yi watched the golden ball in the center of the instrument begin to flash light, heard Kou Li's words, and realized in a daze for a moment that the "day" Kou Li said was the day he escaped from the system space and returned home.

Kou Li said he "always remembers".

Bian Yi breathed out lightly, and didn't go into why Kou Li couldn't remember which step he had reached in his research.

Turning on the machine is easier than I imagined, it seems that it is just connected to the energy source.

Kou Li retreated back, sat beside Bian Yi, his eyes were also fixed on the golden ball, telling Bian Yi not to worry: "It will wake up in one minute."

Bian Yi let out a "hmm", and pinched his leg unconsciously, and the pinch also turned into a pinch unconsciously.

Kou Li lowered his eyes and easily noticed Bian Yi's nervousness.

He stretched out his hand, took Bian Yi's hand pinching his leg, opened the coat, and put Bian Yi's hand on his waist and abdomen, where it was warmer.

He couldn't say something like "take it easy".

In fact, he was equally nervous, nervous about all the reactions that followed.

Looking at it this way, it really seems easier to hate.

Straightforward, without any burden.

1 minutes.

While trying to count his own heartbeats, this method is what he used to relieve tension when winning prizes.

It's a pity that his heartbeat is very chaotic at this moment, and he can't count rhythmically at all, so naturally he can't achieve the effect of calming himself down.

The golden ball lit up completely.

Just like a certain star that Bianyi caught a glimpse of inadvertently after going out, it is very bright and beautiful.

Then, Bianyi heard the little ball make a sound.

--"dad."

Bian Yi's hand grasped Kou Li's hand tightly, his nails seemed to have scratched Kou Li's hand, and two fingers caught Kou Li's sweater.

His heartbeat was empty, and his mind was empty.

All senses seemed to disappear at this moment.

Until the sound came again.

Clear and clean, it is the boyish voice that Bian Yi thought was very nice when he heard it for the first time.

"Did Dad eat on time today?"

Kou Li answered it: "Eat it."

The little ball flickered twice, as if analyzing whether his answer was a lie.

After a while, the voice was a little happy: "Did dad exercise today?"

Kou Li came back again.

Then it asked a few more common questions, and when Kou Li finished answering them one by one, it asked the last one.

"Is dad back?"

Kou Li clenched Bianyi's trembling hand and replied, "I'm back."

It analyzed it again, but this time there was no response.

It seems that the person who designed its question-and-answer function forgot to follow the procedure.

There are no other people in the laboratory, and there are no noises from other mechanical operations, so no matter what they say, they can be heard clearly here.

Bian Yi's lips tried to move several times before finally making a sound in this silence.

He asked Kou Li, "Is it a little tree?"

Kou Li: "Yes."

Bian Yi took a deep breath, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and said, "I haven't heard Xiaoshu's voice since I was seven years old."

"Since then, the system has never spared me any pictures with small trees."

"I didn't know it was his voice."

"I, I don't know..."

I don't know how much you and Xiaoshu paid when I was desperately struggling.

"I've heard it!" Bian Yi suddenly opened his eyes, grasping Kou Li's arm with both hands, his eyes turned red, "I heard it, but, but at that time..."

Kou Li's movements were also sudden.The chair legs rubbed against the ground, making an extremely harsh sound.

Kou Li hugged Bian Yi tightly, hugging him tightly in a panic, interrupting and preventing Bian Yi from saying the following words.

He knew what the words behind Bian Yi said.

He doesn't want to listen.

He doesn't want to listen either.

Bian Yi put his head in Kou Li's arms.

He wanted to open his mouth to say it, but he couldn't make a sound in his throat as if he had heard Xiaoshu's voice just now.

He heard it.

At the end of the previous life, a guy who claimed to be a revenge system found Bian Yi.

It said it could help him escape.

How much Bian Yi wanted to agree, even if it was a demon who came, he would take a high price from him, but no matter what he had to pay, he wanted to go back.

What he wants to say yes to, he wants to answer to it.

However, he died immediately.

He couldn't answer it.

Can't go back!

Obviously he finally waited until the person he loved the most came to save him.They did not admit the wrong person, did not forget him, and did not abandon him.

They obviously lasted longer than him.

Bian Yi held Kou Li's clothes tightly in his hands. The absorbent material would make the wearer feel wet after a while.

He wept bitterly in his arms.

The area of ​​the sweater wetted by tears is getting bigger and bigger, and the temperature transitions from scalding to freezing cold.

But its owner did not let go of the culprit because of this.

In the quiet laboratory, only Bian Yi's crying could be heard.

He seemed to be venting with all his strength, heart-piercing.

The sound insulation effect of the door of the laboratory is very good. Fortunately, people who are still working overtime in this laboratory are not disturbed by it.

Kou Li put his hands on Bian Yi's back and patted him to help him breathe.

I do not know how long it has been.

Bian Yi withdrew from Kou Li's arms, and Kou Li wanted to relax, but Bian Yi put his arms around his neck again.

Bian Yi leaned on Kou Li's shoulder, and his lips were next to Kou Li's ear.

"...I'm sorry." Bian Yi's voice was rough, he was still crying, and the words he spoke were extremely unclear.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't give up, I should hold on for a while longer.

But Kou Li heard it clearly.

His breathing became heavier, and the strength of his arms also increased, wishing to rub him into his bones and blood.

But that couldn't be done, so he just buried his head in Bianyi's neck and took a deep breath.

Of course Kou Li hated it.

Hate him gone, hate how long he had been gone.

I hate him the most. When he found him, when he was just happy, he lost his vitality.

So cruel.

Even though it wasn't out of Bianyi's will, it was still too cruel for Kou Li.

So, even if he went back to 17 years ago, even if he spent a year restoring the research he and Xiaoshu had done in the previous life.

Even though the machine was already running, he subconsciously thought he wasn't done yet.

He was escaping and afraid, afraid that it would tell him again: "The living body has lost consciousness; it has been confirmed that the living body is dead."

So, when he saw Bian Yi on the stairs that day.

What came up first was not joy, but intense hatred.

He just wanted to bite off Bianyi's throat and fall into hell with him.

However, when he tasted Bian Yi's blood, he miraculously regained consciousness.

At that moment, he realized.

His Ah Yi seems to be back.

Kou Li loosened some of the strength in his hands, and he backed away a little, brushing away his hair that was wet with tears.

He wiped away Bianyi's tears, and kissed him on the forehead: "It's okay, just come back."
