#172 - Chapter 172 The World Forgot Me
Fortunately, they encountered time jellyfish this time, not time whales.
Otherwise, it would be miserable to have the evidence of one's existence erased.
The world forgets me?
If Mom and Dad don't remember having a child, Zha Yin doesn't remember having a boyfriend, and everyone he knows doesn't know he ever existed, how terrifying would that be?
Surely that would be more painful than death.
Just thinking about it is despairing.
Fortunately, time whales are almost extinct, with only one "king" left immobile in the sea.
"Good grandpa, where did One Dog go?"
Qi Jing remembered that Gou Yigou was here when he woke up just now, but now he's gone.
"Oh, he said I was annoying, not settling down even at my age, just running around all day, didn't want to see me, so he went to exercise.
You tell me, what's wrong with my age? It's not like I can't move. Since I started cultivating the Source Energy cultivation method, my body has been getting better and better, much better than when I was young. That kid's thinking is still stuck in the past, such a stubborn one.
He also said that I was delaying his cultivation time and that I wasn't allowed to run around anymore. How could I listen to him? I'm going to run around. Mo Laogou runs around all day, and he doesn't say anything, but why can't I!
That little brat just looks down on me..."
Qi Jing watched Gou Dehao talking non-stop, so much so that he couldn't start eating.
"Just once is enough, I'll accompany you to see the end of the world ~"
Finally, a ringtone interrupted his words.
"Little girl, answer the phone quickly."
Tan Zuoyin took out her phone from her pocket and answered immediately when she saw it was Li Rushi, the counselor.
"Hello, counselor, yes, he's awake, he's fine, he's just a little hungry, there's nothing wrong with his body, don't worry, yes, yes, okay, thank you, counselor, goodbye."
Putting down the phone, Tan Zuoyin said:
"The counselor had already come to see you once just now, but you weren't awake yet, so she called again."
"Oh, I almost forgot we had a counselor."
Qi Jing had only seen the counselor once, on the day of enrollment, and the remaining interactions were only the notices posted in the class's official chat group.
So being injured and hospitalized is a counselor summoning technique.
"Eat, eat."
Qi Jing picked up the bowl and ate vigorously, afraid of hearing Gou Dehao continue to nag.
After they were full, they hurriedly prepared to leave here.
Because Qi Jing's physique was too good, he could be discharged after only lying down for a few hours, but Gou Dehao still needed to lie down for three or four days.
"Little Qi, let's go fishing together again in the future."
"Definitely next time, goodbye, Grandpa."
Qi Jing took Tan Zuoyin's hand and quickly walked out of the hospital.
"This is the hospital in Bixiao City? I thought I was still on the giant ship."
After coming out and seeing the familiar starry sky, Qi Jing felt an unprecedented sense of security.
Tan Zuoyin asked:
"How big is that giant ship anyway?"
"Come, let me show you the video I took."
Qi Jing took out his phone. He not only played a few rounds of Dou Dizhu and mahjong while fishing, but also shot several videos of the Time Sea.
The screen showed a giant ship that filled the entire screen. Fortunately, Qi Jing's phone had good enough pixels to see the people on the ship; otherwise, there would be no reference point to compare its size.
"At that time, the waves were bigger than this ship. 'Towering' is not enough to describe it; it should be called 'Heaven-Reaching' giant waves.
And its speed was also extremely fast. When I saw it, it hadn't reached the giant ship yet. When I got into the car, it overturned the car. Fortunately, the anti-dizziness headband was strong enough; otherwise, the windows couldn't be closed.
At that time, I felt that the spider sense couldn't be that simple. I didn't expect it to be true. The jellyfish didn't know when it had wrapped Gou Old Man, and it also缠上了my calf.
I was thinking that the waves had passed, the windows were closed, and the seat belt was fastened, so why was the spider sense still going off? It turned out that a jellyfish wanted to eat me.
Just thinking about it makes me scared. I want a hug."
Tan Zuoyin smiled and looked at him:
"I see you've learned a lot from Gou Old Man. You can say so much now. You couldn't say so many words before.
This fishing trip wasn't in vain. It fished out a Qi chatterbox."
Qi Jing didn't care what Tan Zuoyin said and hugged her directly.
"It's still comfortable here."
Tan Zuoyin also opened her arms and hugged his back.
When Qi Jing first woke up, Tan Zuoyin "heard" the trace of panic and unease in his heart. She knew that he needed some time to digest these emotions, so she walked out of the room to buy food.
She didn't know what Qi Jing had experienced, but if there were things that could make him so scared, he would definitely tell her after he calmed down.
At that time, they could share and face them together.
Unexpectedly, this guy stopped mentioning it after sleeping, and he only showed a little panic when Gou Old Man mentioned time whales.
Until now, there is still a little fear in his heart. If hugging can eliminate it, what if they hug all day?
"Zha Yin, what if I die?"
"Impossible, you can't die. Didn't you say you wanted to be my hero? How could a hero die easily?"
"But there are times when it's not easy. When it's time to die, you have to die."
"When is it time to die? In the future, when Grandpa Hong brings back the mermaid pearl, it will be difficult for you to die of old age."
"But didn't I almost die this time? Tomorrow and accidents, who knows which one will come first."
"But I don't know what will happen after you die. Why don't you take me with you every time you go out? I will definitely die before you, so I don't have to think about this problem."
"Then I still don't want to go out. I don't want a little tail following me all the time."
"Who are you calling a little tail? Be careful I hit you!" Tan Zuoyin stretched out her fist and waved it in front of Qi Jing.
"I'm so scared." Qi Jing showed a scared expression.
"Let's go, go home and deal with you!"
Qi Jing asked, "Go home? Which home? Not back to the dormitory?"
Tan Zuoyin pointed to the west side of the road and said, "It's so late, why go back to the dormitory? Don't we have two apartments here? Just make do for one night."
Qi Jing said:
"We're going to live together so soon? I'm a little nervous."
Tan Zuoyin punched him in the chest:
"Two apartments, one for you and one for me. What living together?"
Qi Jing pointed at Tan Zuoyin with his right finger: "You actually swore. I'm going to punish you to sleep in my guest room and not allow you to go back to your own apartment."
"Dream on. I don't want to hear your snoring."
"I don't snore. I swear you can listen tonight."
"Really?"
"Really, I'm not lying to you."
"I don't believe you. You're very bad."
"No, you have to accompany me; otherwise, I'll be too scared to sleep tonight."
"Then let's have a video call while sleeping. I'll watch you sleep."
"No, no, no, that doesn't count. It's no use."
"Okay, I'll go to your place."
"Ah? You agreed so easily?" Qi Jing didn't expect Tan Zuoyin to agree so readily.
"What? You don't agree?" Tan Zuoyin questioned.
"I'm a little nervous. Or, forget it."
"No, I've already decided. I'll sleep in your guest room."
"Ah, this... that..."
"That what? Let's go!"
