Chapter 2458 Another Me 1
The way down the mountain was easier than going up, but Li Chi’s physical strength was almost exhausted.
As I reached a resting platform halfway up the mountain, the phone in my pocket vibrated.
Li Chi answered the phone, but before he could say anything, Lin Wan's voice, with obvious anxiety, came over and attacked him.
"Xiao Chi! Where are you? The trip is about to end. Please come back soon. Mom is very worried about you!"
Li Chi listened silently, and the mountain breeze seemed to carry the oppressive feeling from the other end of the phone.
Jinchen retorted in his mind, "Don't believe her, Li Xiaochi."
"She sent people to monitor us. Lanshan was the one she found."
Lin Wan continued to speak earnestly and even a little sadly on the other end of the phone.
"Xiao Chi, be obedient. You are my only son, and I am really worried about you being out there alone for so long..."
Jinchen continued to refute, "That's fake. She has another son abroad named Allen, who is two years younger than you and is hospitalized in St. Mary's Hospital in London."
Li Chi: “…”
"Okay, Mom." Li Chi finally spoke, interrupting Lin Wan before she finished speaking.
"I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now."
Without waiting for Lin Wan to say anything else, he decisively pressed the hang-up button.
The mountain wind seemed to calm down all of a sudden.
Li Chi stood there, rubbing his swollen temples with his hands. He looked out at the empty valley and at Jinchen in his mind, "Brother, I believe in you."
This was the first time that Li Chi made an important decision based entirely on his own judgment.
He looked at the vast mountains that symbolized freedom and courage, and the mountain breeze blew his hair.
"Brother, let's go to Jing City."
Jinchen was stunned. "Okay, we'll live near National Tsing Hua University. We can stay here when we don't have classes."
Li Chi obviously didn't understand Jin Chen's hidden meaning. He nodded slightly, stretched out his hands towards the mountain, embraced the air, and embraced his courage.
[Blackening value detected -10, total 46! 】
The journey to Beijing went smoothly.
Lin Wan soon discovered that Li Chi not only did not return home, but went to the farther city of Beijing.
But since Jinchen sent something to an unfamiliar email address, Lin Wan had no choice but to accept it.
The email contained her son Allen's detailed medical history and diagnosis, as well as several recent photos of Allen lying in bed with a ventilator.
The date was yesterday.
Lin Wan's hands were shaking as she held the mouse, and her whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
She hid it so well that even her current partners in China were unaware of Allen's existence.
Who is the person who sent the email and how do you know?
And at this critical juncture...
Lin Wan couldn't help but suspect that this might be related to Li Chi.
Jingshi, a quiet community near Tsinghua University.
Li Chi signed the lease for a small, well-decorated two-bedroom apartment with plenty of sunlight, clean and tidy, ready for immediate move-in.
Jinchen contacted the security team again and invited the top security personnel to set up a tight protection network around the apartment.
In the following days, Jinchen accompanied Li Chi during the day to familiarize himself with Beijing, buy daily necessities, and occasionally walk around the outskirts of Tsinghua University campus.
At night, you will get familiar with the new body and accelerate the integration of soul and body.
The progress bar has reached 99%.
That afternoon, Li Chi was sitting on the sofa reading a book, and Jin Chen was accompanying him. In his mind, he was chatting idly about the elective courses at Tsinghua University.
Zero Gungun suddenly appeared.
[Host, the fusion process is accelerating abnormally. The current progress is 99.1%…99.3%…and is approaching the critical point.]
【About to be forced to leave the current carrier.】
Jinchen was stunned.
【what happened? 】
[Shouldn't there be a buffer period of about a week? ]
Ling Gungun hesitated.
[…Your energy supply is so abundant that Mr. Jinge in Shanghai…is practically treating you like an endangered species and giving you a lot of supplements.]
[With various top-tier nutrients, bioactive factors, and even the help of a national master, my body's functions recovered much faster than expected, forcing the speed of soul fusion to its maximum.]
Jinchen: "..."
There was much less time than he expected.
"Xiao Chi."
Li Chi, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, slowly put down the book in his hand and cast his unfocused eyes towards the corner of the windowsill.
There was a small pot of cactus there, with two round green balls close together, relying on each other to grow.
"Brother, are you leaving?"
He has always been perceptive, so how could he not notice Jinchen's gentle persuasion these days?
Jinchen's heart tightened. "I'm not leaving, Xiaochi. I'm just trying to find a different way to accompany you, okay?"
Li Chi lowered his eyes and asked softly with a hint of stubbornness, "When can I meet my brother?"
"Soon." Jinchen assured him, "Brother won't keep Xiaochi waiting for long."
Li Chi seemed to accept the answer, and also seemed to be gathering up courage.
He closed his eyes, trying to hide the moisture that suddenly filled his eyes, but the moisture still seeped out through his eyelashes.
He sniffed hard, "Okay, brother."
"I'll wait for you here. I'll... I'll take good care of myself. I won't go anywhere. I'll just wait here for you to come see me."
It's really too good.
He is so obedient that it makes people feel sad and painful.
"Don't be afraid, baby. I will come back to see you."
[Peeling starts! 3…2…1…]
After a long while, Li Chi called out softly, "Brother?"
No response.
It was as if the light source supporting him suddenly went out, and the world fell into endless darkness.
Li Chi couldn't hold back the wetness he had been trying so hard to suppress, and big tears rolled down, hitting the back of his hands that were wrapped around his knees, his forehead resting against his knees.
Dusk fell and the light outside the window gradually dimmed.
The apartment was eerily quiet.
After a long time, so long that the neon lights outside the window lit up, Li Chi slowly raised his head.
He raised his hand and wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, then imitated the way Jinchen usually coaxed him and gently patted his chest.
"It's okay, Xiao Chi."
"Brother...will come to see me."
After saying this, he stopped crying and looked out the window at the lights of thousands of homes in Beijing.
The small figure seemed particularly lonely in the huge apartment.
There was nothing he could do but wait.
