Mother Hu smiled and said, "After you disappeared, Madam Shen scolded me severely. I thought that if I didn't find you, I would only be scolded if I returned to the old house, so I didn't go back. Dean Lu took me in when he saw that I had nowhere to go, and asked me to stay here to buy groceries and cook, and to help take care of these succulents."

Lu Jinyan raised his head and said, "Mother Hu has been a great help to me by staying here. Not only does she cook, wash clothes and keep clean, she also helps me separate these succulents that have grown too densely and transplant them to other places. Without her here, I wouldn't be able to do this."

I walked over to Lu Jinyan and squatted down, saying, "You are a well-known psychologist. You stay in this small yard every day to grow succulents. Don't you think it's a waste of your talent?"

Lu Jinyan raised his head and glanced at me, then lowered his head and continued to plant succulents, and asked, "What on earth do you want to see me about today?"

I said, “I want to know everything you know.”

Before Lu Jinyan could speak, Aunt Hu came to my side and said happily, "Miss, I still have a lot of soup left from the stew I made this morning. Don't leave in a hurry. I'll heat you a bowl."

I smiled and said to Mama Hu: "Okay, thank you Mama Hu."

Mother Hu quickly waved her hands and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. This is what I should do."

After saying this, Mother Hu rubbed her hands happily and turned away.

After Lu Jinyan finished planting all the succulents that Hu Ma had helped him divide, he stood up with a small shovel and said, "Go back to the house and wait for me. I'll wash my hands and then go back."

I had no choice but to stand up and walk back into the house.

At this time, Mother Hu had already heated up the soup and brought it to the table, warmly inviting me to come over and drink the soup.

This is a bowl of American ginseng and black chicken soup.

The chicken soup is clear, without any oil floating on it, which shows that Mrs. Hu put a lot of effort into it.

I picked it up and took a sip. The chicken soup had a refreshing aroma, a sweet aftertaste, and a hint of the sweetness of chicken. It was a good bowl of soup.

I raised my head and smiled sweetly at Aunt Hu, saying, "The soup Aunt Hu makes is the best."

Mother Hu was very pleased with my praise, and she was so happy that she said modestly, "No, no, as long as the young lady likes it."

I hadn't finished my soup when Lu Jinyan came in.

In his hand, he was holding a small pot of pink, tender, very cute and beautiful succulent plants.

He walked up to me, handed me the succulents, and said, "Did you leave the pots of succulents I gave you last time in the hospital?"

I took the small flower pots with both hands and said, "Yes, I was in a hurry last time and didn't have time to take them away. I left them in the ward. I will take them away when I leave."

Lu Jinyan said, "Don't go. Aunt Hu brought those pots of succulents back to me. This one is called Peach Egg, it's pink and tender, I think girls should like it, you can take this pot home and grow it."

I looked at the succulents in my hand, thought for a moment and asked, "You always give me succulents, is there any special reason?"

Lu Jinyan walked to the sofa and sat down, and Mother Hu immediately came forward and poured Lu Jinyan a cup of tea.

Lu Jinyan took a sip of tea and said, "Growing succulents can heal psychological trauma. You have experienced emotional trauma and need something to divert your attention. Planting succulents is the best choice."

I really want to tell him that I am healthy physically and mentally, that I can eat, drink and sleep well, and that the so-called emotional injury has nothing to do with me, but I can't say these words casually. Because I know I still have to go, and Zhao Yiyi will have to face the world when she wakes up, and I can't leave her too much mess to clean up.

I had no choice but to say, "Thank you, uncle. I like it very much."

Lu Jinyan put down the teacup and said, "What do you want to know? Ask."

I asked, "Who is Sun Yi?"

Lu Jinyan didn't expect me to ask this question. He looked at me with a complicated expression and asked, "Why did you mention him?"

I said, "I just want to know the truth. Among all these people, only you and Sun Yi are the two most sober ones. I can't find Sun Yi, so I can only come to you."

Lu Jinyan seemed surprised that I could say such a thing. He thought for a while and asked, "Do you know something?"

I said, "When I was in Dayu, there was a person whose role was the same as yours. His presence was not strong, but his shadow was everywhere. The emperor valued him very much, but he kept a low profile. He even had few servants in his house, and the couple lived worse than ordinary people. He was Li Jin."

Lu Jinyan suddenly laughed after hearing this and said, "How come you are still so smart?"

I was sitting a little far from Lu Jin, so I stood up and walked over, sat directly on the sofa opposite him, and said, "Are you the NPC of this game?"

Lu Jinyan said nothing.

I said, "I spent so many years in Dayu in a daze, and only realized before I died that the so-called crossover was just a plot in your game. After that plot was over, I was brought here to play the plot again. But I really don't want to play with you anymore. Does it mean that as long as I die, the plot will be over?"

Lu Jinyan's face changed, and cracks slowly appeared on his usually calm face.

I ignored his expression and continued, "What are you trying to achieve by involving so many people?"

I believe that in addition to us "players" who have awakened their consciousness, there must be many players who have not awakened their consciousness and are at the mercy of the program, such as Shen Li.

Shen Li likes me, just like my heart beats involuntarily when I see Sun Yi. It's all programmed, so I feel weird.

Because every word Shen Li said was a line, the formulaic lines would sound weird.

This is also the reason why Sun Yi thinks it is impossible for me to like Shen Li, because I have awakened my consciousness. How can a person with independent consciousness like a game player set by a program?

Seeing that Lu Jinyan remained silent, I knew that he would definitely not tell me the truth, because he also had his mission and power limitations. If he revealed the plot, he might be eliminated.

I stood up, put the succulents in my hand back on the table, and said, "I like to keep cats, not grow succulents. Thank you for your kindness."

Lu Jinyan glanced at me and slowly said, "Don't do anything stupid."

I smiled and said, "I just want to know the truth, but it seems that you are not willing to tell me. I can only find it myself."

After saying that, I just walked away.

At this time, Aunt Hu hurried out of the kitchen, stopped me and said, "Miss, please have dinner here before leaving. I just made your favorite sweet and sour fish."

Do I like sweet and sour fish?

I tilted my head and thought about it, I don’t remember, but I probably didn’t like it.

I smiled and said to Mother Hu, "I live in the Shen residence now. Why don't you go back to the Shen residence to take care of me? I like the food you cook."

Mother Hu glanced at Lu Jinyan, but Lu Jinyan didn't say anything.

Mother Hu then said happily, "Okay, I'll go wherever the young lady is. I'll clean up here today and go back early tomorrow morning."
