After that day, the convenience store returned to normal, and Lin Zheng was still used as free labor by Zhao Li. If there was any change, it was that the convenience store did not lose a single old customer.

"Xiaoxue, you're here again, are you still the same as before?"

Dongqing was very happy to see his friend who had come to the right path. Although he knew that it was not Xiaoxue who took the initiative to come to the right path, he was still happy for Xiaoxue.

"Yes, that's right, but are Zhao Li and Lin Zheng?"

Xiaoxue asked Dongqing that after so many days of thinking, she felt that she owed them a very formal thank you. Now thinking back on what she had done, she really felt like she had lost her mind.

Is that the real me?

"No, but I'll be back on time. Look, I'm here."

Dongqing was already very familiar with the time when Zhao Li and Lin Zheng returned to the convenience store. Zhao Li and Lin Zheng walked over, and Lin Zheng was also very surprised when he looked at Xiaoxue.

But after thinking about it, I felt relieved. If I helped him restore everything to its original state, then she would definitely go back to work in the hospital. In the real world, filming a drama can't be completed whenever you want, and she won't disappear from the drama once it's completed.

"thank you all"

Xiaoxue turned around and saw Zhao Li and Lin Zheng nodding and bowing to them very seriously to express their gratitude. Zhao Li immediately helped Xiaoxue up and patted her shoulder, but before Zhao Li opened his mouth to speak, Lin Zheng behind him spoke first.

"You're welcome. As long as you don't blame me, I'll be very grateful to you."

"How dare I blame you? I am very grateful to you. Thank you for saving me."

Xiaoxue's attitude was very sincere. He must have really realized his mistake. Sure enough, once he was no longer a vessel of medicine and was free from the shroud of negative emotions, he could still become rational.

In the face of Xiaoxue's gratitude to Lin Zheng, they still accepted her gratitude. Not for any other reason, but because Lin Zheng felt that this was what she deserved. If he didn't help, Xiaoxue would definitely end up in a miserable situation.

I have no relatives, no friends, and I will never make close friends. I am like a ghost during the day and like a human at night. How long can a person endure this lonely life?

"Although I am very grateful, I still want to ask, is what you said that day true? If I don't separate from the medicine, I will die, right?"

After hearing this, Lin Zheng turned around and looked at Xiaoxue. After seeing that Xiaoxue was just curious and had no other thoughts, he thought about it and answered the question for him.

"It's half true and half false. To be precise, if you are still valuable to the medicine, you will not die with the support of the medicine until the moment when it completely squeezes out of you what it needs."

Lin Zheng smiled faintly and turned to look at Zhao Li. It would be better to let the knowledgeable Zhao Li talk about this situation. Zhao Li of course understood Lin Zheng's little thoughts and couldn't help but give Lin Zheng a blank look but still spoke.

"Xiao Zheng is right. How long one can live depends on the individual. I have told you before what the medicine needs. You still have what he needs. He will not let you die, but if that is gone, he will look for the next host for him to grow."

When Zhao Li said this, Lin Zheng picked up two bottles of soda from the side, opened one and drank the other and threw the other to Zhao Li. Zhao Li took the soda and turned around and said to Lin Zheng.

"You need to give me money, kid."

"I am a shareholder, what should I pay?"

"Fuck your shareholders, I don't recognize you"

Zhao Li couldn't help but roll his eyes at the shameless boy, then looked at Xiaoxue and continued talking about the topic he had not finished just now.

"In fact, I have said some of these things to other people, but no one took them seriously. Some of them were very confident, but they forgot one thing, something very scary."

"what?"

Xiaoxue asked curiously. She didn't understand what it was that even Zhao Li found scary.

"This thing is a habit. People can't maintain a state forever. Once you get used to it, you will gradually become numb."

Zhao Li opened the water and took a sip, then put the bottle on the counter and looked at Xiaoxue.

"Besides habit, there is also loneliness. Just think about it, you completely merged your facial changes, and gave up all your relatives, friends, and even love. But you are old and ugly during the day, and young and beautiful at night. Although you will be pursued and loved by countless people at night, you may think this kind of life is good at first, but what if you get used to it?"

Hearing this, Xiaoxue couldn't help swallowing. He didn't dare to imagine the scene that would happen next.

"Once you get used to it, you will become numb and even bored, especially when you are alone and aging during the day. Then you will know what loneliness is, and this loneliness cannot be alleviated, because at that time you have nothing and can no longer find anyone to talk to. You can only let loneliness swallow you up completely."

Xiaoxue felt a little scared after hearing this. She didn't dare to imagine what the scene would be like. If she really reached that point, she would probably have only one thought: wanting to die.

"So after you get used to numbness and then feel lonely, can the drug still absorb the emotions it needs from you? Once the drug chooses to abandon you, I don't need to say more about the result."

After hearing what Zhao Li said, Xiaoxue couldn't help but take two steps back. She was very scared now, because she knew that if Lin Zheng hadn't separated her from the medicine that day, her fate would definitely be as Zhao Li said.

"thanks, thanks"

Xiaoxue thanked them again very sincerely, but Zhao Li and Lin Zheng just smiled and said nothing. Xiaoxue also understood what they meant and did not say anything more. She just paid the bill, picked up the things she bought and turned to leave. However, before leaving, Zhao Li still reminded her.

"Xiaoxue, you have to remember that anything that comes uninvited and without a clear price tag must have an unspeakable price behind it."

After Xiaoxue left, Lin Zheng walked over and raised the water in his hand and clinked the bottle with that in Zhao Li's hand.

"When it comes to human nature, you are more familiar with it, Brother Li."

"That's right. After all, I haven't lived in vain all these years."

The two smiled at each other, but Dongqing was staring at the cashier. He looked at Xiaoxue's departing back and asked with some sigh.

"Do you think there are other people like Xiaoxue? Someone who is willing to be another biological vessel?"

“Yes, and quite a few.”

Zhao Li leaned on the cash register and looked outside the door and answered very confidently, "As long as the bad nature of human beings exists, the medicine will not disappear, and as long as the medicine does not disappear, such people will always exist."

This is a closed-loop and unsolvable problem. Of course, for Zhao Li and others, they hope that there are as many such talents as possible, otherwise where can they find the medicine?

How can we delay aging without medicine?
