I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

Where are Yu Ning and the others?

As soon as Lin Zhou said those words, the atmosphere inexplicably turned cold. He turned his head in confusion, only to find Bai Wanwan smiling at him.

It was just a normal smile, yet it gave Lin Zhou an inexplicable sense of unease, as if it were a forced smile—but even so, Lin Zhou only tentatively asked, "Wanwan?"

Bai Wanwan suddenly leaned closer, "Lin Zhou? Why are you suddenly asking about Yu Ning and the others? What's wrong? Have you thought of something?"

"No," Lin Zhou said, "I was just curious..."

"They haven't shown up for a long time since we got together," Bai Wanwan explained softly. "Lin Zhou, you don't remember anything. You should get some rest."

"so……?"

"So... is everyone still here?" Lin Zhou asked.

Bai Wanwan looked at his profile, and after two seconds, she softly said, "Yes."

"Where?"

"Where they belong."

Lin Zhou: "..."

This answer is exactly the same as the NPC's standard lines.

He wanted to ask more, but Bai Wanwan had already lowered her head to clean up the fruit plate, her long hair hanging down, covering half of her face.

Lin Zhou glanced at her but didn't ask any further questions.

In dreams, everyone except the female lead is just background; he understands that.

"Once the internet is fixed," Lin Zhou said, "let them all come over for dinner."

Bai Wanwan froze.

"Okay..." came the soft reply.

……

In the evening, Bai Wanwan went to prepare dinner. Lin Zhou was getting a little bored playing games—after all, they were all games he had already completed—so he started checking his computer for anything interesting.

Generally speaking—

If it were him, there would probably be some erotica on his computer. Of course, Lin Zhou didn't actually have a taste for it; he just decided he needed to have that kind of thing.

Just like with Ga La Ge Mu, he wasn't after that unmoving, heavily coded CG. You're asking what's so interesting about it...

You can choose not to watch it, but you can't live without it.

The same applies to reading novels; if it weren't for strict regulations, his favorite authors would be able to pursue their passions more freely.

Just as Lin Zhou was opening other drives with great interest, he saw a folder called "Gala for Wood" with a familiar name, because he knew that the folder was probably named by himself.

"Um?"

Lin Zhou clicked on it and found that it was full of oddly placed wooden games.

Lin Zhou found it a bit strange that there was a text named "riji" on it, because there shouldn't be such a thing in general.

This is……

Just then, the door opened.

To avoid the erotic content going undetected, Lin Zhou subconsciously closed all the content.

Bai Wanwan brought dinner into the room. She cooked two bowls of soft noodles and stir-fried two light side dishes.

"Lin Zhou... time to eat," Bai Wanwan said.

"Here you are." Lin Zhou drove his wheelchair to the table.

Bai Wanwan suddenly asked, "What were you doing just now?"

"Playing games," Lin Zhou said, "but without internet, it's not very fun... By the way, Wanwan, did the doctor say when my leg will get better?"

"You'll get better if you take your medicine on time," Bai Wanwan said softly after observing Lin Zhou for a moment.

As he was fed bite by bite for dinner, Lin Zhou couldn't help but show a look of happiness.

"Take your medicine, Lin Zhou."

After the meal, the pills and warm water appeared on the bedside table on time, with the same four familiar words on the label—[Medication].

"good!"

Lin Zhou tilted his head back and swallowed, taking two gulps of water. "I've noticed you're even more punctual than the doctor."

"Take your medicine on time, and you'll recover faster." Bai Wanwan took the cup away. "You absolutely must take your medicine."

"Oh……"

However, Lin Zhou didn't feel anything after taking the medicine; instead, he felt even more tired.

I feel a bit listless.

At night, Bai Wanwan helped Lin Zhou wipe his face and hands, then moved him from the wheelchair back to the bed, covered him with a blanket, and then the mattress gently sank as she lay down next to him, naturally snuggling close to him.

The lights were off, leaving only a sliver of nightlight seeping into the room through the curtains.

Lin Zhou, however, wasn't sleepy at all, because there were many things he didn't quite understand. How should he put it—

It's like playing a save file that's very far in progress; you don't know what happened before.

Lin Zhou looked at Bai Wanwan, only to find that Bai Wanwan was also looking at him.

"Wanwan."

"Um?"

"We..." Lin Zhou stared at the ceiling, organizing his thoughts, "When did we get together?"

"You don't remember?" Bai Wanwan's voice carried a hint of indescribable joy.

"I have amnesia, don't I?" Lin Zhou said confidently, using the premise she had given him. "Tell me about it."

A few seconds later, Bai Wanwan's voice came through, "In the gym, don't you remember?"

"Gym?"

"Mmm," Bai Wanwan said, "That night you were running, and I was with you. Later you stopped, walked up to me, and said..."

"Tell me you like me."

Tell me you want to be with me.

Lin Zhou: "..."

Ok?

The gym, the treadmill... a strand of hair peeking out from the corner, a hammer hidden behind him, the question "Who are you?", and the moment he was cornered and kissed her with a sudden burst of determination.

Was it that time...?

Was it the time you sought help from the little fish?

After that kiss, he frantically pulled out his phone and hypnotized the person for thirty seconds.

Lin Zhou's lips twitched.

Putting everything else aside, his memory of that night was extremely vivid.

"That's it?" Lin Zhou asked tentatively, "I confessed my feelings, you said yes, and then we were together?"

"Um."

"Nothing else happened in between?"

"No," Bai Wanwan said.

Lin Zhou: "..."

"What about Xiaoyu?" Lin Zhou asked again. "I remember she seemed to have come that night too."

"She's here," Bai Wanwan said. "She came over, gave me a small umbrella, said congratulations, and then left."

Small umbrella.

In Lin Zhou's mind, the image of the plastic bag spinning on his fingertips and the boxes of square objects inside it came to mind.

And when Ye Zhiyu threw the bag onto Bai Wanwan's stomach, she said with great energy, "I'm here to help you."

Lin Zhou: "..."

"And then what?"

"And then," Bai Wanwan whispered gently, snuggling close to him, "we just stayed together, living happily ever after, with no one bothering us..."

"Yu Ning and the others are also gradually starting to have their own things to do."

"It's just the two of us left."

Lin Zhou felt that something was wrong.

"...It's just a dream." After a while, Lin Zhou said to himself.

"Wanwan..."

"What...?"

"I want that..."

"Okay..." Wanwan's voice seemed to carry a hint of joy.

Nothing was said that night, just pure movement.

……

……

The next day, Lin Zhou was awakened by rustling sounds. He opened his eyes groggily and found that Bai Wanwan had already changed into her clothes and was stuffing things into her bag. There was a sticky note next to the computer with the groceries she needed to buy that day written neatly.

Are you going out?

"Okay," Bai Wanwan said, "The fridge is empty, let's buy some groceries."

Lin Zhou smiled, "Then I'll go too."

Bai Wanwan said, "You can't get down."

"Why can't I get down?"

There is no elevator.

"what?"

"The stairs are too narrow for a wheelchair to get down."

Lin Zhou refused to believe it and wheeled himself to the door to take a look.

Outside the door was a corridor he had never walked through before. At the end of the corridor, a staircase spiraled downwards, its steps disappearing into the distance.

There really is no elevator!

He tried to move forward a little, and as soon as the two small wheels extended, the whole wheelchair tumbled downwards!

"Holy crap—" Lin Zhou quickly stopped.

That was close.

He sat back in his wheelchair, looked at the staircase, and fell silent.

With his current legs, walking down is impossible; rolling down would be quite fast, though.

"Wanwan, when will you be back?"

"Soon." Bai Wanwan pushed him back into the room from the stairwell. "The water's here, the fruit's cut, the computer's on, you can play by yourself."

"Then my phone..." Lin Zhou looked up, "You're not here, I'm so bored by myself."

Bai Wanwan glanced back at the dressing table.

She walked over, picked up the phone, and handed it to Lin Zhou.

"Give."

Lin Zhou retrieved his phone, which still only contained the Heartbeat app; nothing else was there.

"never mind……"

Lin Zhou casually put away his phone without even glancing at it—a scene that Bai Wanwan noticed. She said, "I'm going out..."

"it is good."

After Bai Wanwan left the room, Lin Zhou pushed his wheelchair back to the computer desk. He propped his face up with one hand and vaguely heard the sound of a door closing downstairs.

Lin Zhou silently opened the folder he had opened yesterday.

Let's play for a while.

However, his gaze fell once again on the [riji] folder.

riji

Journal?

Lin Zhou casually clicked on it, but his expression gradually froze—

【run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!】

There was only one word in the text.
