Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

Chapter 74 The way home

"...Xiaobai, do you miss your family?"

have not thought.

Bai Yu came to the conclusion in an instant.

Since traveling through time, he has been constantly acquiring new knowledge and experiencing things that his previous self would never have been able to experience.

Although he was very busy and tired, and the pressure of survival forced Bai Yu to move forward, this was still the happiest time of his life since he was born.

He can run and jump as much as he wants; he can help others instead of being the one who needs pity and help; he can take Fu Fu shopping and play with her openly under the bright sunshine, and Fu Fu will not be like Bai Yu's younger brothers and sisters, who will carefully protect and give in to him.

But, have you really never thought about it?

In the dream, his father's hoarse voice and his stepmother's sobbing pierced Bai Yu's heart like sharp blades.

"...I, I can't even think about it." Bai Yu lowered his head, clutching the blanket tightly. "I've been really happy lately, because I have a healthy 'body' now, and I can do things I never dared to think about before..."

Bai Yu's voice became increasingly hoarse. Fu Fu stepped forward to pry open Bai Yu's clenched fist and placed her hand in his, using body language to tell Bai Yu that she was here.

"...Fufu said I wasn't dead. So I thought: It's just a hospital stay. I'm hospitalized at least half the time every year." Bai Yuhui held Fufu's hand and shamefully yet firmly confessed his true thoughts to her. "I deliberately avoided thinking about the different reasons for this hospitalization.

I don’t dare to think about how worried my family will be when they find out.

Even when I first discovered that I was still alive, I felt a little regretful..."

When Bai Yu said this, Fu Fu pinched Bai Yu's fingers hard, puffed up her cheeks and glared at Bai Yu who was smiling bitterly, but did not interrupt him.

“If it weren’t for the ‘dream’ tonight, I probably wouldn’t be able to remember it.

While I was enjoying myself here, my loved ones in the real world were crying and praying for me.

Fufu, I am really too selfish and terrible, right?"

"You're talking as if we can go back if you're gloomy all the time," Fufu said angrily. She mentally tried not to get angry, not to argue with this "patient." Scolding him would only make Xiaobai more depressed, and it was completely useless.

"Before we accumulate enough energy, we have to survive first! You said that yourself, Xiaobai.

We've only been here about three months, and Xiaobai works so hard every day!

What are you talking about living a carefree life?!

To save someone, I was chased by a skeleton; I learned parkour and broke every bone in my body more than once; I didn't want to lie, but I lied to survive, feeling the pain worse than anyone else; the suspicion and questioning of those I cared about triggered a heart attack that nearly made me want to die. I lied to you about not having enough energy, and you wanted to give up on yourself again.

If you are really selfish and only care about your own happiness, then I really want to thank you!

This way I won't be afraid that one day you, a fool, will be willing to sacrifice your life for others!"

"...Well, you don't have to say that to me, right?" Bai Yu was so overwhelmed by Fu Fu's resentful complaints that he didn't even care about feeling down and spitting at himself.

Bai Yu retorted softly, "To have a better life, studying is a must, and getting sick is not something I can control.

I knew Fufu would help me, so I wanted to save her..."

"Then you should be more willful in other places!" Fu Fu became even angrier after hearing Bai Yu's words.

Bai Yu shrank his neck at Fu Fu's roar and blinked pitifully at her.

"Don't always blame yourself for everything! Xiaobai is clearly working hard to help me accumulate energy.

It was clearly my sudden upgrade that depleted all the stored energy, so Xiaobai should be blaming me."

"How can I blame you, Fu Fu?!" Bai Yu held Fu Fu's hand tightly and said anxiously, "If Fu Fu hadn't chosen me, I wouldn't be in this situation where I can't make ends meet and have to calculate my energy every day.

I know I was wrong. I won’t say anything bad about myself. Fu Fu, please don’t say such things again in the future.

Promise me, okay?"

"I remember it!" Hearing Bai Yu's surrender-like request, Fu Fu snorted complacently and said, "Xiao Bai is the one who should be remembered. If you do this again in the future, I will play this record in your mind on a loop!

He will also hold a loud speaker and tell you every day, "Xiaobai is the best in the world!"

And I will let everyone who knows you say it together!!”

"...Are you trying to save me or kill me?" Bai Yu said with a twitching mouth.

For a otaku like Bai Yu who is not very good at dealing with people and has a little social anxiety, Fu Fu's method is no less than public execution.

"Of course I'm helping you! If I don't tell you loudly, how will you know how deep everyone's feelings for you are?!" The new social gangster Fu said righteously.

"...I understand. I will never do it again."

It would be better for him to die for real than to die socially.

Bai Yu thought with tears streaming down his face.

"Then I'll forgive you this time." Fu Fu finally nodded with satisfaction and recorded the successful "treatment" process in her mind.

It seems that being a psychologist is not difficult!

Fu·Quack·Fu thought in a self-aggrandizing way.

"Xiaobai, don't worry too much about your relatives being sad. We have now started to connect with reality. When there is more energy, I will increase the repair energy of Xiaobai's body. Let Xiaobai perform a medical miracle!" Fu Fu said confidently.

"...That's not necessary. Please be nice to our doctor. Besides, I don't want my body to be treated as a special case for research before I go back." Bai Yuxu looked at him, no longer in the mood to feel self-loathing.

Let me say it again, when Fu Fu is reliable, the method she provides is really unreliable.

"Then take it slow. Let Xiaobai get better first and transfer him to a regular ward." Fu Fu was unhappy that her plan wasn't adopted, but she still obediently switched to a more soothing one. "Although, if Xiaobai's 'conscious body' doesn't return, his 'real body' will remain a vegetable even after it recovers."

But at least ordinary wards are cheaper than intensive care units, which can save a lot of medical expenses.

I wonder if Xiaobai got any reward for his bravery? The family Xiaobai saved didn’t seem to be short of money either…”

Bai Yu raised his hand to cover his forehead. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be relieved that Fu Fu had learned to think about these trivial matters in life, or to complain that the problems she thought about were too realistic.

Thinking of this, the corners of Bai Yu's mouth gradually curled up.

"...Anyway, Xiaobai, don't worry too much about the family's financial situation." Fufu thought for a while, and finally said comfortingly: "As for Xiaobai's family... Actually, when we go back, I can try to choose a time point as short as possible after the day Xiaobai was injured.

In this way, from Xiaobai's family's point of view, you woke up after not being unconscious for too long.

Having said that, I want to ask, Xiaobai, do you want to go back?"

"...If I go back, can I come back?" Bai Yu frowned and asked worriedly: "I have never asked how long I can stay here at most."

To be honest, Bai Yu was actually a little reluctant to go back.

Here Bai Yu met Miss Susan, the sheriff who was very important to him, a woman with strong beliefs but not very rule-abiding.

I met the enthusiastic and generous Master Qiaopu and Uncle Enzo who was looking forward to exchanging technical ideas with him.

There are also Cunning Rabbit House, Baizhi Heavy Industry, Phaethon...

But in reality, he has blood relatives.

"How can I travel between the two worlds?

Fufu said I could be more willful...

Then I want all my friends and family too!!”
