Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Qin Xuezao felt like he was dreaming.

A very, very distant dream.

In the dream, she seemed to have actually died, and then came back to life.

She returned to Nanling City, not to see her relatives, but to meet the boy who had grown up seven years later.

She didn't remember clearly what she had experienced, but she remembered that she was very happy and content in her dream.

This joyful feeling also remained on her cheeks when she opened her eyes.

When the heart starts beating again.

When the cold skin becomes warm again.

When the suspended animation function was reactivated, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then slowly opened.

I stared at the ceiling with blurred vision. It was still night. The dark room was filled with only the gentle moonlight and the twinkling city lights.

She sat up, her whole body was very stiff, like a rusty and dry machine that had not been used for a long time, and there was a creaking sound deep in her bones.

"What's happening to me..." Qin Xuezhao opened his mouth and made a sound, but his voice was very hoarse.

"woke up?"

She heard a voice, turned her head with a stiff neck, and saw a face.

The young man asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

The long sleep had caused some confusion in her memory. It took her five seconds to remember that this was the person she saw before she fell asleep.

"I……"

"If your throat hurts, there's no need to talk." Bai Yu sat on a chair beside the bed, his expression calm and silent. "I brought you back from the clutches of death and fulfilled my promise, but it took longer than expected, a full seven years."

"Seven, years..." Qin Xuezao's eyes widened: "It's been seven years?"

"Maybe it's longer, but compared to a life, seven years is nothing."

Bai Yu comforted him, "At least you're still alive. Even though you've lost seven years, you still have time to start over."

He turned serious and clapped his hands softly. "Congratulations, Qin Xuezhao. Your fate has been rewritten. From now on, you can live more freely and proudly."

Without missing a beat, he stood up and tossed a cylindrical object over. "This zombie inner core has lived with you for seven years. It's already yours, like a second heart. If you can use it freely, you might even gain benefits beyond your imagination... But it's still a dead object, so don't rely on it too much."

Qin Xuezao took the thing and when he saw the other party was about to leave, he stood up hurriedly: "Wait, wait... I haven't..."

"Living a good life is the greatest gratitude you can give me." Bai Yu stood at the door. "By the way, let me tell you that Su Ruoji has disappeared."

Qin Xuezhao's pupils contracted, and she immediately clenched the zombie inner core in her hand. She no longer refused, but bowed heavily: "Thank you for saving me. Although I don't understand, I can't express my gratitude enough... If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."

"Repay?" Bai Yu smiled. "When will the repayment of favors end? It's all a matter of cause and effect... Hey, why am I talking so flowery? It's making me uncomfortable. Let's just put it this way for now. We'll naturally have the chance to meet again in the future. Live well, Qin Xuezhao... Your talent is truly unparalleled."

Leave a few inspirational words to cheer the other person up.

The young man's back disappeared out of the door.

Qin Xuezao sat back on the bed, looking at the zombie inner core in the palm of her hand. Unlike the original zombie inner core, this time it contained both life and death. She then looked at her hair, which had barely grown, and with a strand of her red hair, she gathered her hair together, cut off a strand of her red hair, tied up the black and white inner core, and hung it around her neck.

Her body was still very stiff, and she had to walk carefully. The circulation of her Qi slowly soothed the discomfort. She looked at the empty ward and felt a little lonely for a moment.

"Seven years? That's really been a long time."

Qin Xuezao leaned against the window and touched her cheek. "It seems nothing has changed... Is it because of the suspended animation?"

She had actually just woken up and still needed a good rest, but now she had no intention of resting at all. Seven years of sleep was too long.

She walked outside slowly, holding onto the wall.

Because now she really wants to see someone.

Although my memory of the person I dreamed of is a little hazy and I can’t remember many things, I really want to see him.

Damn legs, I can't even move.

She could clearly walk as fast as the wind before going to bed.

But his muscles were so stiff that he looked like a zombie that had been buried underground for thirty years.

Just when she finally reached the door, she accidentally tripped over her left leg and lost her balance. She was about to fall to the ground but couldn't stop herself. She cried out in her heart, "Oh no! I'm going to get hurt."

At this moment, a pair of hands held her arms, turned her over, and supported her waist.

A night breeze blew in through the window.

Qin Xuezao looked at the young man and asked softly, "Xiao Yu?"

"That's too cute a name, it's totally unnecessary." The young man bent down, put his other hand through her legs, picked her up horizontally, and put her on the bed.

Qin Xuezao looked at him sternly: "You... have really grown into a big boy."

"But you still recognized me at first sight." Bai Yu changed his skin and returned to the ward: "I slept for seven years."

"Has it really been that long?" Qin Xuezao pressed her head and looked at the boy. She also felt very strange: "Seven years have passed, but it feels like it hasn't been that long. It's as if we've met before."

Bai Yu raised the corner of his lips and began to lie: "I heard from someone who calls himself the Fate Editor that you will wake up today, so I rushed back."

"Really? Editor of Destiny, so that's his name." Qin Xuezao touched his chin and nodded. He only knew this now. It was obvious that Bai Yu had forgotten to introduce himself just now.

She suddenly thought of something: "Oh, what if Ruo disappeared?"

Bai Yu nodded: "He disappeared three years ago and his whereabouts are unknown."

"You're seventeen now?"

"You jump around so quickly... Yes, I'm seventeen years old, and like Ruoli, I'm about to take the college entrance exam." Bai Yu answered fluently, "Just like you seven years ago."

"Well, it looks like we can be classmates."

"Aren't you already 24?" After Bai Yu said this, he saw Qin Xuezao raise his eyebrows.

"What did you say?" Qin Xuezao leaned closer and asked, "I just woke up, and my ears don't seem to be feeling well."

Bai Yu had a blank expression on his face: "Even 24 is still very young."

"You little bastard, I asked you to change your words, not to comfort me!" Qin Xuezhao picked up the pillow and threw it at him.

She sighed immediately, "In the blink of an eye, the little girl who used to follow me around and call me sister has become so~~unlovable. You were cuter when you were a child. Change back now!"

Bai Yu turned the pillow over and put it back, placing it under her waist, and whispered, "Even if you cry and writhe like a spoiled child, you can't get back the lost seven years."

Qin Xuezao hugged her knees and murmured softly: "It's really hard to catch up in these seven years..."

"Although some things have changed, some things haven't changed." Bai Yu stood up and walked to the window. The moonlight fell on his shoulders. He turned sideways and said, "Haven't I always been here?"

Qin Xuezao looked at his profile. The scenery reflected in her eyes was as beautiful as a painting. She wanted to record this moment.

Yes, he has always been there.

It was there seven years ago; it was there during the seven years in my dream; it was also the first to arrive seven years later.

Always with me.

Qin Xuezao suddenly felt a warmth in his chest, and couldn't help but say, "You really like me as your sister, do you like me more than Su Ruoji?"

Bai Yu thought about it, then nodded unexpectedly: "Now, it's like this."

Compared to Su Ruoji, Qin Xuezao takes better care of herself.

The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener took it to heart. Qin Xuezhao's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

From the very beginning, there was a strange feeling of throbbing.

She thought, no way? Am I such a girly person?

She really wanted to take a few more glances, but her reserve as an elder made her look away. She felt embarrassed to stare at the boy whom she treated as her younger brother.

"Oh yeah... I forgot about that."

Bai Yu suddenly remembered something: "Although I just said a lot, none of it counts as an opening statement. Let me repeat it again. I can't waste the prepared remarks."

"It's been seven years."

He took a step closer.

"There's no need to introduce myself, right?"

"This is a long-awaited reunion."

"Hi~ How do you feel?"

The forced lines and the gentle moonlight at this moment unexpectedly complement each other.

Qin Xuezhao laughed immediately, then put her head on her knees, turned her face to the side and looked at him quietly.

There was silence for a while.

When the smile on Bai Yu's lips was about to freeze, she finally heard her whisper in a still hoarse voice, "...I'm back."

"Well, welcome back."

Hear this.

Qin Xuezhao immediately lowered her head, unable to hold back any longer, and began to laugh and cry at the same time.

How long will it take to wait until we reach the edge of reality after seven years of sleep?

This is the reward she deserves.

Crossing life and death, returning to the world.

Congratulations on coming back, and welcome back.

Chapter 171 Life is short, so make a big fuss

Qin Xuezao woke up.

However, many problems followed.

Bai Yu did not get involved and let her handle it on her own.

Her family background is not complicated at all, it's just an ordinary family, but this matter involves the Department of Strange Things, so it is more troublesome, and she can't be discharged from the hospital by just going through the procedures.

Moreover, she slept for seven full years, and her student status was still retained by the school. Whether she should be allowed to come back to continue her studies, and whether the early admissions of various prestigious schools were valid, were all issues she needed to face.

But Qin Xuezao's seven years of sleep were not without benefits.

In the state of suspended animation, her soul was not dead and her brain remained active.

This means that her soul has been honed over the past seven years, and her soul power is even more than twice that of a transcendent of the same level.

Qin Xuezhao, who is able to master special skills at such a young age, has unlimited potential for achievement in the future.

She said it very reluctantly but said it in a hypocritical manner - maybe they would be classmates in the future.

Age twenty-four would be recorded in the files, but both mental and physical age would still be the vibrant seventeen-year-old.

Still quite profitable.

After all, they are already adults at this time.

After chatting with Qin Xuezhao for three hours, Bai Yu also left the hospital, returned to his dormitory, and reported to school the next day.

He thought he had been absent from school for a week without reason, but later found out that he had taken a leave of absence for half a month, and there were still seven days left.

Furthermore, he also noticed that there had been certain changes in history here. It seemed that the news of his breakthrough to the extraordinary had been known to the school, and it was also exposed during this social practice.

In the social practice class, there are still cases of people taking advantage of Xuan Tiansi.

However, the ghost den disappeared, so the increase in miasma naturally no longer existed.

But after arriving at the school, Wu Shanshan and Qiu Tongtong thanked Bai Yu in person again, which made Bai Yu realize that the changes in history are not so thorough... Just like Ditto, it can change, but not completely.

At least……

"Did you hear me? Go buy me some Raccoon instant noodles right now! Buy two packs, hurry up!"

Tao Rusu, the freeloader, hasn't changed at all.

Bai Yu reluctantly went to the small shop five meters away and bought two bags of instant noodles, throwing them to Tao Rusu: "Are you satisfied?"

"Do you think you can get away with just two packets of instant noodles?"

"What else?" Bai Yu asked, "Three guarantees?"

Tao Rusu stepped directly towards his foot, but was dodged.
