Chapter 1: No Need to Feel Aggrieved, She Likes It
After raining for over ten days, the weather finally cleared up today.
Gu Yue’s expression was cold. Clutching a piece of paper in his hand, he walked toward the most remote hillside in Xiaba Village.
When he saw the young woman with braided hair standing at the foot of the hill, his brows furrowed involuntarily, his eyes filled with a hint of annoyance.
If it weren't for the note mentioning his grandfather, he truly wouldn't have wanted to come.
He asked coldly, "What do you want with me?"
The woman with the braids was fair-skinned and pretty, but the fierce, overbearing, and frivolous infatuation on her face ruined her beauty.
She looked at Gu Yue with a haughty air. "I’ve already found out. That old man Gu is your grandfather, and you’ve been secretly sending him food lately."
Gu Yue clenched his hands into fists, his voice growing colder. "What exactly do you want?"
"Marry me. As long as you marry me, I’ll keep this secret for you!" The braided woman looked at Gu Yue’s handsome face with eyes full of obsession.
She was determined to get this man today and make him agree to the marriage.
Gu Yue laughed in extreme anger. Just as he was about to speak, a sudden rumbling sound echoed in his ears.
The two looked toward the hillside in unison, then both turned and ran toward the small path.
But they were a step too late; the falling mud and rocks completely engulfed them.
...
It was unknown how much time had passed when the eyelids of the woman buried in the mud twitched.
Crawling out from the soil, Song Chu escaped the suffocating sensation.
She stood up, walked a short distance away, and used her hands to dig through a layer of mud. Sure enough, she saw a man pressed underneath.
So, the extra memories were real. She had died in the apocalypse, and she never expected to be able to continue living in someone else's body.
Looking at the man on the ground, Song Chu wondered whether she should save him. Then, her expression changed—her consciousness space had gained a laboratory, and this laboratory was the exact one she had used at the research institute.
It had actually followed her here? She probed it carefully, only to discover that it was only half of it.
Her laboratory was divided into two parts: one half was a small library, and the other contained various equipment and test subjects.
After sensing it carefully, she suddenly discovered that the other half of the laboratory had ended up on the man lying on the ground.
Song Chu squatted down and touched the man, wanting to merge the other half of the laboratory back into her space, but she failed.
She had a strong feeling that if she wanted to get the complete laboratory back, she had to save him.
Digging him out, she reached out to check his breath—he was still alive.
Thinking of how the original owner was born with great strength, she pulled the man up with effort, threw him onto her back, and walked quickly toward the village.
Carrying an adult man didn't feel very heavy; her strength was indeed extraordinary. Very good!
...
Song Chu arrived at the clinic and placed Gu Yue on the bed. "Quick, save him!"
The village doctor had been stunned when a mud-covered person rushed in, but hearing that voice made him tremble even more. Wasn't this the village bully?
"Why are you staring at me? Hurry up and save him!" Song Chu had inherited the original owner's memories and had no intention of breaking character, so she glared fiercely at the doctor.
The persona of a village bully was great—she could do whatever she wanted without feeling aggrieved. She liked it!
The village doctor jumped in fright and quickly performed an examination on the person on the bed. "His left leg is injured, and he feels a bit feverish!"
Song Chu waved her hand. "Then treat him quickly!"
The doctor hurriedly poured a glass of water and took out a pill, intending to help Gu Yue take the medicine.
Gu Yue was fully awake by now. He opened his eyes and said, "I'll do it myself."
The man's voice had a gentle, jade-like quality that was very pleasant to hear. Song Chu couldn't help but look at him.
At this moment, his face was covered in mud, obscuring his handsome features, but his eyes were deep and bottomless, as if they could suck a person in.
She thought, this is not a simple man.
Gu Yue also looked directly at Song Chu. The frivolous obsession that used to be in her eyes had vanished, leaving only indifference.
His memory flashed back to earlier: this woman had tried to coerce and lure him into marrying her, and then the landslide had suddenly collapsed and buried them.
Now that he was in the clinic, that meant she had saved him?
Seeing him wake up, the village doctor breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the state they were in, they must have encountered a landslide. With the frequent rain lately, this happened often, and fortunately, the injuries weren't too serious.
He looked at Gu Yue and instructed, "Your leg is injured, but fortunately, it’s not broken. Apply a hot compress after you go back, and I’ll give you some medicinal wine to rub on it every day. It’s best not to walk around or do heavy work for the next half month, otherwise, it will get worse."
"Okay, thank you, doctor!"
Then, the village doctor looked cautiously at Song Chu and asked, "Are you injured anywhere?"
Song Chu shook her head. "No!"
Seeing Gu Yue looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze, she looked back, and he quickly withdrew his eyes.
...
Song Chu felt this person was quite interesting. The fact that the other half of her spatial laboratory had inexplicably moved to him meant that this person’s mental power was not low—in other words, his IQ was very high.
To figure out if Gu Yue had discovered the existence of the laboratory and to get it back, she looked at him and asked, "Do you want to stay here, or go back to the educated youth dormitory?"
Gu Yue didn't want to have any involvement with this woman who was always thinking of threatening and pestering him to marry her. Just as he was about to refuse, something inexplicable appeared in his mind, and he was momentarily stunned.
What was this? It looked like a laboratory, but he had never seen the equipment inside before.
Song Chu had been observing Gu Yue’s expression. Although he hid it well, the sudden surprise and confusion in his eyes were still captured by her.
She wanted to curse; this guy had most likely sensed the other half of the laboratory.
"Is there something extra on you?" After turning the thought over in her mind, Song Chu decided to be direct and test him.
Don't let his gentle and refined appearance fool you; she could feel a sense of aloof coldness radiating from within him.
Because of what happened earlier, if she didn't make things clear, he definitely wouldn't have any more contact with her.
Besides, if this guy had already sensed the laboratory, she feared the only way to get it back was to show her cards.
Gu Yue had previously suspected that it was a hallucination caused by his injury, but now, after hearing Song Chu’s words, he could be certain it wasn't a hallucination, but that something truly mystical had happened.
Seeing that she wasn't acting infatuated and was being very straightforward, and thinking of the thing that had suddenly appeared in his mind, he realized this wasn't the place to talk.
Gu Yue didn't answer directly. "I want to go back to the educated youth dormitory, but my leg won't allow me to walk."
Song Chu understood his meaning instantly. "I'll help you back."
Gu Yue wanted to figure out the thing in his mind and deal with the hidden danger of this woman threatening him before they were buried. He nodded and said, "Then I’ll trouble you."
Seeing them about to leave, the village doctor breathed a sigh of relief and handed a small bottle of medicinal wine to Gu Yue. "Rub this on first and see how it goes. If you feel uncomfortable, send someone to call me."
Gu Yue took the medicinal wine and thanked him. "Thank you!"
Song Chu walked to the bed and reached out. "Come on!"
Gu Yue didn't act coy or hesitant; he held her hand and got off the bed.
The educated youth dormitory wasn't very far from the clinic. Song Chu helped Gu Yue take a small path back.
