The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

You're awake.

You don't know how long you've been unconscious.

All you know is that you looked up and didn't see You Lian.

But you saw the contents of the envelope You Lian left for you.

She settled Lu Yuan in Beihai City, leaving him some cell phones and some money.

She told Lu Yuan to take good care of his injury, and then she took Dean Niu to report that leader.

[I could tell from her handwriting that she was happy.]

She said that once her sister has resolved everything, she will take you home to the village to plant rapeseed flowers.

She also specifically instructed Lu Yuan not to show his face in public for the time being.

[Because your injury hasn't healed yet, if things go wrong here, you won't be able to escape even if you want to.]

You Lian also told him that if he couldn't stay idle, he should become a food delivery driver.

This way, the target audience is smaller, and it won't become as viral online as previous matchmaking services.

Lu Yuan became a food delivery driver.

Unfortunately, You Lian was wrong; a great person is great wherever they go.

On his first day as a food delivery driver, he saved a girl from committing suicide on a rooftop.

Two months later, he became the city's model deliveryman.

He left again after spring ended.

On that departing train.

You Lian coldly watched the girl who kept feeding Lu Yuan fruit, her eyes filled with icy indifference.

[This time, due to the long distance, I need to go back to testify.]

[When she saw her leader being arrested, hot tears streamed down You Lian's face.]

She hugged Lu Yuan tightly, telling him: "We can finally live the life we ​​want."

Your expression was complicated as you told You Lian: "I'm sorry, I really can't empathize, because I don't remember."

Honestly, you really want to die right now.

[Because even after being declared free to leave the mental hospital, you haven't yet completed the game.]

[Where do you think you might have made a mistake?]

So you want to go back in time again.

But You Lian said it was okay, she would remember.

She was confidently preparing to start her life anew, working hard to save money.

She had to watch over her younger brother who constantly contemplated suicide while working hard to save money again.

She knew you were going to study, so she rented a house in Nanjiang.

She couldn't afford to rent the whole apartment; she could only afford two partitioned rooms.

She scrimped and saved to buy you a computer; it was secondhand, but it was great value for money.

That day was the first time you asked her to call you "sister."

[You Lian was so excited that tears were about to stream down her face.]

You still don't remember the stories from your so-called youth.

Even without that story, a woman going to such lengths for you is touching enough.

More importantly, without childhood stories, could anyone really go to such lengths for you?

You returned to the hospital under the pretext of presenting a banner to the doctor. The banner was for Dr. Liu, and the old anime fan was overjoyed, running around the room excitedly.

You sat under the ginkgo tree once again.

Because you've finally realized that this pieced-together content is your past life.

The story begins in Daliushu Village.

A child whose parents are divorced becomes addicted to video games and develops a mental illness due to the pressure of reality.

Then, by the river, he met the older sister there for the first time, filled with joyful anticipation for the future.

He felt that his suffering had finally come to an end.

It wasn't until the older sister confessed to the police that she was a criminal.

His worldview collapsed, his condition worsened, and then he encountered a grandfather who gave him terrible advice.

With each new version of the game, the older sister became nothing more than an evil figure in his mind.

But he was not satisfied, so he came to the hospital in person to try to get to the bottom of things from the older sister.

The game's objectives are to leave the hospital and not die, and the cheat code is: time travel, which is his last version of the game.

After he arrived at the hospital.

Discovering that everything was different from what she had imagined, she began to fantasize about going back in time.

But there was no backtracking at all, so his understanding became increasingly confused.

Different memories were fighting in his head.

So he ran away, and Nanjing, Taiwan, and Beihai were the three stops along his journey.

Until he went around in circles and returned to the ginkgo tree, just like Lu Yuan is now.

The child still hasn't passed the level.

Why didn't he complete the game?

At this moment, Lu Yuan's path is very clear.

He got up and went to Dr. Liu's office.

I asked Dr. Liu a question:

"Dr. Liu, do you think forgetting can treat mental illness?"

"Yes, but no one can completely forget unless influenced by external forces, such as an impact..."

Dr. Liu stopped talking as he spoke, because he was afraid that Lu Yuan might do something foolish.

"I see."

Lu Yuan nodded.

Perhaps he had asked Dr. Liu this question before.

Then I chose to forget.

Forgetting is difficult for others.

But for him, it's just a matter of fixing some game settings, right?

Forgetting cures mental illness, and once cured, you can pass the level.

The first objective was to "escape the mental hospital forever."

Curing mental illness is the only way to escape from a mental hospital forever.

Therefore, after completing everything, Lu Yuan forever forgot the experiences he had along the way.

Starting from under the ginkgo tree, the chosen matchmaker, the prince, the yellow sponge... then back to under the ginkgo tree.

A thing without roots is but a fleeting dream.

For Lu Yuan back then, forgetting everything was the way to pass the game.

So what does the second goal, "don't die," mean?

Lu Yuan pondered for a while and then understood.

He returned to his rented room.

You Lian was walking out of the kitchen wearing an apron. She wiped the oil off her hands on the apron and gestured for Lu Yuan to eat quickly.

As she spoke, she wrote down her joy:

"It's a long way, but I've saved enough money. Let's go back and look at the land tomorrow, okay?"

"Who are you?"

Lu Yuan pretended to have amnesia and said with a puzzled look:

Do we know each other?

Upon hearing this, You Lian was instantly horrified, and the shovel in her hand fell to the ground.

Lu Yuan ignored her and went back to his room to go to bed.

A moment later, he heard someone tiptoeing into the room.

A knife was held to his neck.

He turned around abruptly and found You Lian looking at him while crying.

He showed no intention of putting the knife down.

She held the knife in one hand, and with the other hand wrote on Lu Yuan's arm:

"Please, go back in time, please, don't forget me again."
