On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 141 I traveled back in time?!

Seeing Chen Mo curled up in a ball, Su Yuqing couldn't help but reach out her fair and delicate fingers and gently touch Chen Mo's flushed cheeks, which were red from the fever.

I only felt a soft, hot sensation.

Chen Mo didn't react at all, but Su Yuqing found it quite amusing.

Just as I was tapping, it gradually turned into a gentle caress.

Su Yuqing gently stroked Chen Mo's cheek while silently praying that Chen Mo would recover soon.

Although she liked the current Chen Mo who was gentle and weak and dependent on her, she still hoped that Chen Mo could stay healthy.

After gently stroking it for a while, Su Yuqing used the back of her hand to test the temperature of Chen Mo's forehead again, and it still felt terribly hot.

She immediately took out her phone and started looking up what to do about a cold and fever.

She noticed that she could take a towel dampened with cold water, wring it out almost completely, and apply it to the patient's forehead to help lower the temperature and reduce discomfort.

She immediately got up to do it, but then she heard Chen Mo mumbling something incoherently...

Rumble!
Bah!

As lightning flashed past Chen Mo, Chen Mo, who had just felt a cold, fever, and body aches, suddenly felt light and all the discomfort caused by the cold and fever disappeared.

But some parts of my body are aching slightly.

The continuous rain kept falling on Chen Mo.

Wow!
In a moment of disorientation, Chen Mo suddenly realized that his surroundings were somewhat familiar.

Isn't this the police station rooftop?
A rainy sky, with rumbling thunder.

The cigarette butts piled up in the corner—everything was so familiar.

"No way." Chen Mo stared blankly at his hands, then suddenly lifted his clothes.

The scars on his body were shocking to behold; these familiar scars were his medals as a criminal police officer.

"I...I'm back again?"

I've somehow gone back to my days as a criminal investigator?

Chen Mo looked around in disbelief.

"No, impossible." He rushed to the edge of the rooftop. For a moment, he really wanted to jump off to prove the boundary between reality and illusion.

Was the week I experienced back in the past real, or was it just a hallucination caused by being struck by lightning?

But are hallucinations really that real?

The past week with Su Yuqing is still vivid in my mind; it's impossible for an illusion to fabricate all the details so clearly.

Besides, how could he be completely unharmed after being struck by lightning?

Chen Mo checked his condition back and forth.

He couldn't believe he was back in a world without Su Yuqing.

"Chen Mo... Chen Mo..."

In a daze, Chen Mo heard someone softly calling his name from behind.

When I turned around, I couldn't see anyone.

The figure that always appeared before me on rainy days has somehow disappeared.

"What on earth is going on? Are you kidding me, God?!" Chen Mo looked up at the sky, hoping that another bolt of lightning would strike him back to his high school days.

But all he was met with was the icy rain pounding against his body.

Despite the rain pounding on him, Chen Mo remained standing motionless in the rain.

Until the phone in my pocket suddenly rang.

"Chen Mo, where are you?" "What's wrong?" Chen Mo replied listlessly, his heart ashen.

"Haha, I got a message!"

"What news?" Chen Mo couldn't resonate with the other party's excitement at all; he remained indifferent.

"It's the news you care about most. You might not believe it, but it's like finding a needle in a haystack without even trying!"
The case of that high school girl you've been investigating for so long—now a death row inmate has suddenly confessed before his execution.

Chen Mo, who had just been indifferent to everything, was struck dumb.

"Who told you?" he asked excitedly.

"This person and this girl do have some connection, but they have too few opportunities to interact, so we didn't investigate him back then."

"Who exactly is it?" That was all Chen Mo cared about.

"that is……"

Bah!

A sudden clap of thunder struck Chen Mo, who was on the phone.

Just as Su Yuqing bent down to listen to what Chen Mo was muttering in his sleep, she saw him suddenly shudder and open his eyes.

He looked utterly astonished.

Upon seeing this, Su Yuqing assumed that Chen Mo was having a nightmare and quickly went to check on him.

She sat down beside Chen Mo, one arm around him, the other gently patting the blanket on his chest, and said softly, "What's wrong? Did you have a dream?"

Chen Mo was still in a state of shock when he realized he had returned to his high school days. The discomfort of a cold and fever returned, cough cough cough...

After coughing uncomfortably a few times, he suddenly felt so moved that he wanted to cry; he had actually come back.

He had forgotten about his own condition at that moment, and immediately hugged Su Yuqing tightly in his arms, as if he were afraid of losing her again.

Although Su Yuqing didn't know what was wrong with Chen Mo, it was obvious that he might have been frightened by a nightmare. She didn't struggle at all, letting Chen Mo's small, furnace-like body hug her tightly. She gently hugged Chen Mo back, stroking his back and whispering words of comfort.

"Don't be afraid, I'm always here." Her words of comfort to Chen Mo, who was having a nightmare, struck a chord with him.

"Never leave," he murmured.

But Su Yuqing still heard it.

Her body suddenly trembled.

Chen Mo's words were almost indistinguishable from a confession.

Even if they had a close and intimate relationship before, they had never made any real breakthroughs in their communication skills.

But Chen Mo's words now clearly indicate the conclusion of a contract.

After saying that, he buried his head in Su Yuqing's shoulder.

The moment Chen Mo returned to his days as a criminal investigator, he felt like he was about to shatter.

Whether what I just experienced was a dream or not, this experience was more terrifying than any nightmare!
Chen Mo didn't want to go through that again.

"I will never leave." Su Yuqing gently stroked Chen Mo's back and whispered her reply in his ear.

At this moment, Chen Mo had recovered somewhat from the state of confusion and realized that he had just lost his composure. He immediately and slowly released his arms from Su Yuqing.

Su Yuqing stepped back a little and looked at him with concern, saying, "Are you feeling better? I'll make you a cup of brown sugar ginger soup; it'll make you feel better and calm your nerves."

Su Yuqing had just gotten up to leave when she was suddenly grabbed by a weak yet burning hot hand.

"What's wrong?" Su Yuqing turned around and smiled gently at Chen Mo.

The tangible touch and warmth emanating from that soft little hand with a few calluses on its palm confirmed to Chen Mo that this was indeed the real world.

After confirming everything, Chen Mo slowly released his grip, forcing a smile as he said, "It's nothing."
