Huayu, my cheat code is a bit strange.

Chapter 36 Where to Go From Here (Please read, please recommend, please do everything!)

Gu Xiao swayed, her face turned pale, and she subconsciously reached out to hold onto the back of the sofa to barely keep her balance.

Gu Hui immediately noticed his unusual behavior and frowned, asking, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Gu Xiao tried to brush it off, but the cold sweat seeping from his forehead betrayed him.

This feeling of being completely drained of energy was more intense than ever before, and my body trembled uncontrollably.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Gu Hui immediately helped him lie down and then tried to call for an ambulance.

Gu Xiao stopped her, saying, "No need, it's nothing serious."

"Don't joke around with your health."

Gu Hui said in a deep voice, "Many diseases don't seem serious at first, but they get worse the longer you wait, and it's too late when they fully develop."

"It's really okay."

Gu Xiao tried to regulate her breathing, suppressing the slight spasms in her stomach caused by extreme emptiness, her voice slightly rapid:

"I have experience with this, just eat something and you'll be fine. Prepare plenty, the more the better."

Gu Hui hesitated, but his serious expression showed that he eventually gave up and arranged for someone to bring food.

In less than ten minutes, several staff members came in carrying plates and bowls of various sizes.

When they saw the barely breathing boy on the sofa, they were all stunned for a moment. Then, at Gu Hui's signal, they placed the food on the coffee table one by one.

Soon, the small coffee table was piled high with food.

Gu Xiaoqiang forced himself to sit up, without saying another word. He picked up his chopsticks, took the nearest bowl of noodles, and began to eat in silence.

His movements were not fast, even somewhat mechanical, but his speed was extremely consistent.

He quickly finished the bowl of noodles, put down the empty bowl, picked up a roasted potato with his left hand and a roasted sweet potato with his right.

As Gu Xiao continued to eat, her pale complexion visibly regained its color.

Gu Hui stood to the side, watching quietly.

Half an hour later, Gu Xiao put down the last corn cob and let out a satisfied sigh.

Gu Hui's gaze swept over the stack of empty bowls teetering on the coffee table, and he couldn't help but ask:
How long have you had this condition?

Gu Xiao picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth as she said, "It's been a while. I went to the clinic to ask, but the doctor said they couldn't see anything wrong."

Gu Hui said earnestly, "You still need to go to a major hospital for a proper checkup. I know someone at Peking Union Medical College Hospital."

"I'll go after I'm done with this busy period," Gu Xiao waved her hand to interrupt him.

This is not an excuse.

He only has one life, and he's more afraid of being inexplicably killed by the cheat system than of finding out something is wrong.

Seeing that he understood, Gu Hui didn't say anything more. He turned around, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to him, saying casually:
"Would you like to stay tonight?"

Gu Xiao paused slightly as she took the water glass, then looked up, somewhat puzzled.

Gu Hui explained, "After all, you helped deliver the babies, so at least take a look at them."

Gu Xiao remained silent for a moment, then drank the warm water in her cup in one gulp.

"it is good."

……

……

The next morning, in the nursery.

Gu Xiao stood in front of the incubator, with the squirrel Xiao Jiu perched on his head. The two of them stared intently at the three little snow leopards inside the incubator.

Newborn snow leopards are not much bigger than cats. Their silvery-white fur with dark brown spots is exceptionally eye-catching under warm lights, resembling three breathing plush toys.

"Does it have a name?" Gu Xiao asked.

Gu Hui looked at Song Tao standing to the side.

Song Tao, the bespectacled middle-aged manager from yesterday, said with a smile, "In our district, the person who delivers the baby usually names it."

As they spoke, the eyes of everyone present turned to Gu Xiao in unison.

Gu Xiao was speechless for a moment, thinking that he should stay away from Liu Yifei in the future, because she didn't have so many problems before.

He pointed to the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn in turn: "Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn."

Song Tao scratched his head: "Isn't this... a bit too casual?"

Gu Xiao said, "There is a reason for it."

Song Tao asked curiously, "What's the connection?" Gu Hui, who was standing nearby, seemed to realize something, and his lips twitched almost imperceptibly. He then interjected at the opportune moment:
"Alright, it's just a name. As long as it's easy to pronounce, it's not an important thing."

Song Tao glanced at Gu Hui disapprovingly. How could a name not be important?
Gu Xiao felt that the name was really not important, mainly because he was too lazy to think about it.

"It's getting late, I'll come back to see them another day."

After saying that, he left the nursery.

Gu Hui followed and walked alongside him under the corridor.

Sunlight streamed through the high windows, casting dappled patterns of light onto the tiles.

"What are your plans next?" Gu Hui asked, breaking the silence.

"Go home and catch up on sleep," Gu Xiao said succinctly.

The fatigue from last night hadn't completely dissipated, and he needed some time alone to carefully study the "three-no cheat code".

This kind of unpredictable onset of exhaustion is extremely dangerous; we must figure out the pattern.

“That’s not what I’m asking,” Gu Hui said.

Gu Xiao was somewhat puzzled: "You mean?"

Gu Hui remained silent as the two walked out of the administration building one after the other.

The cool air of early spring morning carries the fresh scent of grass and trees.

"Are you really going to Beijing Film Academy?"

Looking at the park awakening in the morning light, Gu Hui finally asked the question.

……

……

A cool breeze gently blew by.

Gu Xiao stood in front of Elephant Mountain, looking at the elephants leisurely drinking water inside, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

go?

There doesn't seem to be any compelling reason to go.

He didn't crave life in the spotlight, nor did he love performing. His initial motivation for participating was simply to fulfill the original owner's dream, along with some curiosity and going with the flow.

Aren't you going?
There doesn't seem to be any compelling reason not to go.

After all, he had nothing else he wanted to do.

The final results of the football lottery will be announced the day after tomorrow. Judging from the current results, winning the prize is a sure thing.

What happens after that?
Continue gambling? Or use the money to start a business, or simply speculate on real estate or stocks?
These don't seem to be things he wants to do, or at least he doesn't think he can live off them for the rest of his life.

Gu Xiao's thoughts kept wandering, and for a moment she didn't know where to go or what to do.

Gu Hui looked at him quietly and said softly:
"Didn't you say you were offered a role in a period drama set in the Republican era? Don't you want to go?"

"I haven't decided yet."

Gu Xiao looked into the distance. In the morning light, parents held their children's hands and walked into the zoo, their laughter drifting on the morning breeze.

Groups of tourists walked past them, but the lively sounds seemed to be separated by a transparent barrier.

A profound sense of loneliness suddenly overwhelmed me; it was cold and heavy.
Gu Xiao said in a complicated tone, "I suddenly feel a bit confused. I don't know what to do or what I want to do. In fact, I don't even know why I'm standing here."

The moment the words left her mouth, Gu Xiao herself was stunned.

Yes, why is he standing here?

Visiting Gu Hui at the zoo is completely out of character for him lately.

Since his time travel, he has been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding this "father".

When it comes to doing business or buying lottery tickets, they would rather find outsiders like Qiu Xu to cooperate with than ever think about consulting with them.

It was both guilt and self-preservation.

Now that I've calmed down and thought about it carefully, the idea of ​​talking to Gu Hui about stories from the Republican era is absurd in itself.

If you really want to know that period of history, Huo Xuan is clearly a more suitable candidate.

Why did I come here?
The confusion in Gu Xiao's eyes gradually faded, replaced by an extreme sorrow that came from seeing the truth.

Yes.

Why did he come? Naturally, it's because he doesn't belong to this world.

Apart from Gu Hui, his nominal "father," he had nothing.
