Chapter 361: Chapter 8: Chu Fa Da Patriotism_3
"Wait, I’m going to the lab to fight first."
...
The scene suddenly shattered.
Chu River woke up.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a familiar voice called out, "Chu River, can I come in?"
The person was a stranger, but the voice was so familiar it felt close instinctively.
Chu River responded, and when the person opened the door, the first thing she saw wasn’t the identical hospital gown on the man’s body but rather his gentle eyes and brows.
The details of the features were different, but the feeling was exactly the same.
—Just like in a dream.
Her expression softened from alert to gentle, but she couldn’t recall his name and could only pretend to casually lean against the hospital bed without speaking.
And at that moment, Li Chang’an met her gaze but froze in place—
"You..."
He sighed, "Chu River, have you lost your memory?"
...
Chu River squatted next to Lei Yu by the flower bed below the ward.
She had a two-year-old expired lollipop in her mouth, looking puzzled, "Do I have any significant relationship with Li Chang’an?"
As the provider of the lollipop, Lei Yu rarely got the chance to chat with her, yet he found himself caught in the same question—
"Do you have any significant relationship with Chang An?"
There was none!
Then why did he realize you/I lost your memory right away?
The two stared at each other, and Lei Yu, recalling how he foolishly revealed all his secrets, felt ashamed and changed the subject:
"By the way, Chang An has a lot to do recently. Although the supplies won’t be a problem for you, the base doesn’t have anything good right now."
He leaned forward, looking sneaky, and finally took out a red apple wrapped tightly in plastic wrap from his pocket—
"Here, this is the only apple at the base right now. The underground agricultural base hasn’t fully grown yet, so have a bite!"
He took out a knife from his pocket, hesitating painfully but reluctantly, "You and Chang An can share half each."
He spoke while unwrapping the layers of plastic wrap, his expression tense, unable to break his habit of being secretive.
Chu River seemed to know what kind of bug was around earlier.
She reached out and took the apple, "Didn’t they say the bugs were gone? If there are any, we could fish for another round."
"Snap," and the apple was neatly split into two halves.
Lei Yu took his half, quickly wrapping it back in plastic, as if that would make it fresh again.
Chu River showed no restraint, biting off a large chunk—the truth was, she hadn’t cared much about this stuff in the past.
She thought, perhaps before the disaster, she ate it often.
Three years had passed, and the taste hadn’t faded. How frugal must have her life been these three years.
Yet as soon as the apple entered her mouth, she felt something was off.
"Something’s not right."
"The apples I’ve eaten didn’t taste like this."
Lei Yu couldn’t resist turning his head—three years of synthetic vitamins, but none of the survivors at the base had tasted an apple in three years.
Even the men were craving for it.
"How normal, count the years you’ve been without fruit?"
It’s not like his image didn’t match—as he thought, if someone gave him a sour plum, he could eat it while drooling.
Sigh, the more he thought about it, the more he salivated.
But Chu River felt it wasn’t just that.
She remembered eating many kinds of apples, cheap ones, expensive ones, ones costing hundreds per piece...but none tasted as good, juicy, crisp, and sweet.
This wasn’t just a slight improvement in flavor; it was a leap across multiple grades.
She stared at the half apple in her hand, took a couple bites, and handed the center core back to Lei Yu:
"Give this to Li Chang’an, I think the seed might be special."
"By the way, where did you get the apple?"
Lei Yu still held the sticky core, bewildered, "Well... Song You!"
This was the one Song You had firstly sold; during the cooperation talk, he took it out, and Song You led him into a secret room to taste a grape...
Sigh, he actually tasted a grape!
The big guy, craving like that was really unusual.
Chu River got excited—"Tell me the address, I’ll go catch her now!"
Never mind anything else, if she has apples and attracts bugs, she must have other good stuff. I’ll root her out and clean her up!
All for the base!
She, Chu River, loves her country!
