An Ruqiao hasn't been sleeping well these days.

As soon as it's time to go to sleep, you will always enter that state of half-dream and half-awake. When you wake up, not only do you not get the sense of relaxation from sleep, but you are even more tired.

But if she doesn't sleep, her body won't be able to bear it. Between physical discomfort and mental discomfort, An Ruqiao still chose mental illness.

Even though she had returned home, the mental tension was still very serious. That small sip of the drug awakened her neurological memories that had been affected by drugs for more than ten years when she was a child.

The sofa she had slept on for several years could no longer give her a sense of security.

She was originally going to go back to the hospital to work at around seven in the morning, but it seemed that the entire hospital knew about her kidnapping. Early in the morning, the department director sent a message asking her to take a good rest for a few days and treat it as a Labor Day holiday.

An Ruqiao was quite dumbfounded by this kind of "care" that treated her as a fragile thing, but she accepted the kindness heartily.

An Ruqiao usually eats breakfast. After studying medicine for a long time, she always thinks of the dangers of skipping breakfast. Today she indulged herself.

Being used to being fed in the morning, her stomach was growling, and it wasn't until after ten o'clock that An Ruqiao, who rarely stayed in bed, was urged to get up.

Sent a message to Shen Yi.

"?"

Just a question mark. It means are you awake?

After washing up, I found that Shen Yi replied with "."

This is waking up.

An Ruqiao asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Shen Yi replied almost instantly.

"What do you want to eat?"

An Ruqiao thought for a while, "Let's go to the central area to eat fried shrimp."

Shen Yi still replied in seconds, "Okay, half an hour."

Shen Yi is still very punctual. Although his daily schedule is very irregular, he is lazy and loves to sleep, but he never misses the scheduled time.

An Ruqiao dressed up a little and used cosmetics to adjust her complexion. When Shen Yi arrived, she went downstairs.

An Ruqiao bought a set meal from a certain group in advance, and if it was not enough, he would order another one.

She likes umami very much, and she likes river fresh seafood, especially shrimps. Even if they are boiled in salt water without adding any seasoning, they can taste a light fresh and sweet taste.

Shen Yi is not picky at all. She eats whatever she wants. She can even eat instant noodles for more than a week when she is lazy. She doesn't look like a son of a wealthy family.

In addition to fried shrimps, the set meal also includes a portion of crab roe tofu, a portion of garlic lettuce, and a portion of fried rice.

The two of them sat across from each other and ate quietly. It wasn't that they didn't eat or sleep without talking, it was just that they were both in low spirits and a bit too lazy to talk.

While eating, An Ruqiao piled up a plate of shrimp heads in front of her, and she suddenly asked: "Do you remember Aunt Chen?"

Shen Yi, who was engrossed in eating, paused.

"Why do you suddenly ask that?"

An Ruqiao said while eating, as if she mentioned it casually, "It's just... I've been dreaming about her in the past two days."

"I must remember it." Shen Yi mixed crab roe and tofu with rice, "...I don't know how she is doing."

An Ruqiao understood what he meant. She didn't know if Chen Shuyi was still alive.

As for how they escaped in the first place, they could not remember the details clearly due to the drugs, but they still remembered that Aunt Chen helped them.

Chen Shuyi really raised the two of them as her own children, especially An Ruqiao.

An Ruqiao also knew Chen Shuyi's past. Maybe she felt that children could not understand it. Chen Shuyi would talk to them a lot at that time, just like telling them stories.

An Ruqiao felt that Chen Shuyi was so kind to her because she might have regarded herself as a substitute for her daughter who died young. But she didn't mind being such a substitute.

Chen Shuyi's ideas can be said to be completely opposite to An Ruqiao's mother.

When Chen Shuyi, who lost her daughter, saw An Ruqiao being pushed into the fire pit again and again by her mother's own hands, her guilt and anger accumulated deeper and deeper.

All the regret for not protecting his most beloved daughter turned into the motivation to protect other innocent little girls.

An Ruqiao is the biggest beneficiary of Chen Shuyi's protective desire.

Humans are really complex animals. They are controlled by desires and constrained by morality. Pure good and pure bad are both rare, and most people are a collection of good intentions and malicious intentions.

What's ridiculous is that the prophet Aaron thought he had a thorough study of human nature and developed a drug that can amplify people's emotions and desires. However, during the first large-scale experiment, the results were completely different from what he expected.

Aaron originally thought that those people would sink in lust and the experimental base would become a hell of indulgence. However, he did not expect that among the people whose emotions and desires were amplified, a group of women headed by Chen Shuyi appeared...

They wanted to protect the motherhood of innocent children, so they organized themselves spontaneously and carried out an attack without warning. The purpose was to allow the children to escape from those illegal experiments.

At that time, An Ruqiao and Shen Yi were already considered very old among the children, but they were still in their early teens and could not help much during the unplanned escape.

It can be said that 50% of the credit for An Ruqiao and Shen Yi's escape was the blood and sweat of those women.

They fought till death, but all they could do was send people outside the base, and the rest of the escape journey was left to the children themselves.

Most of them were captured within a day. After all, with the legs and feet of a child, the distance that could be covered in a day was really limited.

As far as An Ruqiao knew, she and Shen Yi were the only two people who successfully escaped.

Recalling Chen Shuyi, An Ruqiao thought that if Aunt Chen had not died, according to the temperament of the dog prophet, she would have made her experience pain in the name of punishment.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I wanted her to be alive or to die at that time.

She didn't say anything more. It was as if she just mentioned it casually.

She didn't mention it, but Shen Yi seemed to have something on his mind. He was always wondering whether they would have a chance to repay the huge favor they owed. If there was a chance, how would they repay it.

After finishing the meal, Shen Yi finally figured out that it was useless to think about it now. He should knock down the dog prophet first.

The central area is clearly the city center.

This area was among the first to be demolished and rebuilt in the city, creating a prime location in the business district.

There are six shopping malls around the International Building at that address, and there is also a large pedestrian street underground that connects several major shopping malls.

There is a lot of traffic, especially during holidays, and the traffic is comparable to tourist attractions during the National Day holiday.

In a place like this, if something unexpected happens, the negative impact will be huge.

An Ruqiao and Shen Yi strolled around the mall, making arrangements as they went, arranging their eyeliners, and from now on they would monitor in real time whether there were any suspicious persons.

It is necessary to nip problems in the bud.
