Asano Yushin glanced at Metis, who was preoccupied with her life. She didn't know what was going to happen and was probably still thinking about how to talk to him.

Before reaching the platform, he had to walk a short distance. The pedestrians coming and going on the road became blurred in his eyes, leaving only the extremely clear image of Metis.

After walking a short distance, many scenes from this simulation began to flash through my mind.

Minami Mori, who adopted him as her son and gave him a new life; Shoko, a succubus who had both numerical mechanics and a penchant for absorbing his energy; Nagasaki Soyo, a gentle girlfriend whose rental boyfriend became real; oh, and the light of the Toyokawa family - Toyokawa Sadaharu, the old man who delivered milk and newspapers; and finally, one of the heroines he had locked on, Metis.

When we arrived at the platform, many people were already there waiting for the return train, and everyone had a certain degree of fatigue in their eyes.

Asano Yushin wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at the watch on his wrist. The time on it was ticking accurately, and the most critical moment was about to come.

Metis didn't notice his abnormality because her attention was attracted by the self-service beverage machine next to her.

The strawberry juice she drank before getting on the train tasted average, not the brand she usually drank. Unexpectedly, the self-service beverage machine on the platform while waiting for the return train had that brand of strawberry juice.

When she came, Xiaoxin bought her drinks. Now that she is back, let her buy drinks for Xiaoxin. This is the beginning of a two-way relationship!

She was secretly grateful to Su Shi for scolding her and waking her up. It was not too late to mend the fence after the sheep had been lost. There was still a chance for her to make amends. Thinking of this, she felt much better.

After drinking my favorite strawberry juice and getting on the train back home, it means the end of the journey. In that case, it is the critical time to open my heart and apologize to Yushin Asano.

No matter what, she will try her best to save this relationship, and then walk into the pure white palace with Asano Yushin, make an eternal vow, give birth to lovely children, and live a happy life.

I'm thinking a little too far ahead. Let's start by remedying the situation with the details of daily life.

"Xiao Xin, what would you like to drink? I'll buy it for you."

"...Just like you."

"no problem!"

Metis was so focused on the beverage machine that she didn't notice the slight tremor in his voice.

She trotted to the beverage machine, pressed the transparent button under the strawberry juice, and skillfully stuffed the banknotes into the payment slot marked with the face value. With a clang, the drink fell out and a few coins were spit out on the right.

Putting the coin into her pocket, Metis picked up two bottles of strawberry juice and ran towards her lover with light steps.

As it was getting close to evening, the flow of people was getting heavier and heavier. As Metis's petite body moved in and out of the crowd, she didn't notice that she had quietly crossed the yellow warning line.

She kept waving to her fiancé with a bright smile on her face. Their reconciliation started with the sour and sweet strawberry juice!

What she didn't know was that she was not the only one who was anxious. A strange man dressed in a scenic spot uniform was running towards her, his backpack bouncing up and down as he ran.

At this time, Metis could already see Xiaoxin waving to her. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes were full of indulgence and pampering for her.

Just when all her attention was focused on her fiancé, a voice suddenly sounded in front of her.

"Make way! I'm in a hurry."

Metis's shoulder was hit, and the sudden external force broke her balance, causing her to fall in the opposite direction.

She subconsciously stretched out her hand, trying to grab something, but there was no place in front of her that she could use as leverage.

"Woo!"

Metis's eyes rolled, and in her peripheral vision, a glimmer of light flashed in the darkness at the end of the tunnel, symbolizing that the shrill sound of the high-speed train was infinitely prolonged, and the air seemed to be directly split by an invisible beast.

The light grew brighter and brighter, and a terrifying airflow blew up her long light green hair, like a green snake dancing wildly in the air.

Death is a very distant word to her.

Before her imagined happiness came, the rude and unreasonable god of death cut in line, leaving her no time to despair.

The smile on Asano Yushin's face had long since disappeared. When the voice sounded, he took a step forward, with only his eyes for the lover who was reaching out for help like a drowning person.

The surge of adrenaline brought his reaction to an exaggerated level, but how could any exaggerated reaction compare to a train traveling at 300 kilometers per hour?

So he doesn't rely on reaction, but on prediction.

Having rehearsed this countless times, he pounced forward, accurately grabbed his lover's hand, and pulled it back with all his strength.

Life and death reversed, Metis fell towards the platform, and due to the inertia of the forward rush, Asano Yushin had to face the terrifying high-speed train head-on, and the sinister laughter of the god of death faintly sounded in his ears.

His consciousness was taken away in an instant, and he couldn't even see the blood bursting out of his head before he fell into darkness.

For the first time, Asano Yushin lost his consciousness in the real-life mode and lay motionless on the yellow line of the platform. The feature of death return was not triggered, and he was temporarily stranded in this virtual world.

Metis fell to the ground, and the abrasions all over her body were burning with pain, but she was completely unaware of it. She stared at the fallen Asano Yushin in a daze, and all the sounds from the outside world faded away from her.

The hurricane force wind from the train blew up her long hair, and she only reacted a little.

The helpless girl opened her mouth slightly, wanting to ask passers-by for help, but she was horrified to find that she had lost her voice.

She wanted to get to Youxin's side, with this obsession echoing in her heart. She put her hands on the ground and slowly crawled towards him. The severe pain in her knees did not affect her at all.

Passersby around noticed this sudden accident, and more and more people ran towards Asano Yushin who was lying on the ground.

The beautiful love that Metis had imagined came to an abrupt end, and she was forever stuck in the midsummer of her 18th year.

105. Three Days? Ten Years!

Metis sat blankly on the bench outside the ward. The wound on her knee had long been covered with white gauze. She stood there like a sculpture, waiting for news from inside.

The light in her eyes was gone, and the whole world to her was only black and white, like a broken old TV. Once her "antenna" was pulled out, only a whole snowflake remained.

Minami Mori was pacing back and forth beside her. She could only rely on unconscious movements to ease her anxiety.

Time passed minute by minute. She had never felt time go so slowly. It was like a blunt knife cutting meat, cutting a little bit every second, almost torturing her crazy!

When she received the call from the housekeeper, she was so breathless that she almost fainted. She couldn't even hold the phone steady. She could only yell at the screen and ask him to drive her to the hospital.

Her hands and feet were cold and she had no strength to drive. She could only get into the car with the help of the maid, praying for her adopted son while waiting for the housekeeper to explain the details.

When she learned that he had only lost consciousness due to a head impact, Mori Minami finally regained some strength. As long as he was still alive, it was good. She was afraid that if he didn't even have a human form, the probability of survival would be basically zero.

Cars cannot be equipped with wings, so it is impossible to fly to the hospital in one second. At that time, she could only stay in the car quietly and rely on understanding the ins and outs of the matter to judge the severity of her adopted son's injuries.

Of course, Mori Minami is not a doctor, and a doctor cannot analyze the condition of the injured person based on just a few words. She just uses superficial guesses to comfort herself.

What's the point of traveling for no reason? She suddenly got angry. Wouldn't it be better for Mu Laoshi and Youxin to just get married and stay at home?

The irrational woman was unreasonable. Although she knew it was hindsight, she still couldn't help but blame her daughter.

When she heard the surveillance video showing that her daughter was almost hit under the train by a damn passerby, even though she knew that her daughter was fine afterwards, her heart still suddenly tightened and all her anger was transferred to the passerby.

No matter how you blame someone, it's not the daughter's fault. She is the first victim and the adopted son is the second victim. You can't just let your daughter be hit to death.

If her adopted son had not taken action, her biological child would have died. Accidents are often not generous enough to give the victim the opportunity to choose between the two.

She didn't want to solve the trolley problem, nor would she write down the answer. Her adopted son had already given the best possible answer, sacrificing a head scratch in exchange for her daughter's life. At least on the surface, both of them were saved, but the truth would only be known after a detailed examination in the hospital.

The sound of the door opening with a click interrupted Mori Minami's thoughts. She quickly came to the door of the ward and blocked the doctor from coming out.

A glimmer of light appeared in Metis's lifeless eyes. She turned her head mechanically, waiting for the final judgment like a prisoner.

"terribly sorry......"

Mori Minami's face turned pale in an instant, her body swayed, and she looked like she was about to fall down at any time.

The luster in Metis's eyes was completely extinguished, and her heartbeat became slower and slower, as if it was about to stop.

The doctor, with his hands in his pockets, noticed her expression was off and quickly added, "I'm sorry that all the test results haven't come out yet. Please be patient, family members."

Minami Mori pressed her chest hard. Her breathing difficulties were cured by the doctor's words. As for why she had difficulty breathing, you have to ask the doctor who spoke with heavy breathing.

At this moment, she even wanted to kill someone. He likes to breathe heavily when he speaks, right? If she spent some money to make him shut his mouth forever, he wouldn't have this scary habit.

The lifeless Metis regained some of the vitality of a living person. She stared at the doctor's face without any unnecessary movements.

The doctor, who was stared at with death by the mother and daughter, wiped the sweat from his forehead. The pressure from the patient's family was quite great.

He has been beaten by the irrational family members of patients more than once because of this bad habit of his, but can it still be called a habit if it is easy to change?

"Based on a preliminary examination, Mr. Asano's other body parts did not suffer any serious injuries."

"But if it's a head injury, it's a relatively strong blow, which can cause loss of cerebral cortical function, leaving the patient unconscious or in a coma. Mr. Asano's basic physiological functions are fine, and the hospital will arrange for nurses to take care of his physiological activities."

Mori Minami didn't understand any of this, so she just asked, "How much does it cost to cure it?"

The doctor hesitated. He'd seen too many families of patients like him, believing money could cure all ailments. He considered his words carefully before explaining, "Let's wait for the results of a thorough examination before we discuss this. It shouldn't take long."

"Okay, thank you doctor."

"Duty, no need to say more."

Mori Minami looked at the white figure walking away. The huge stone pressing on her chest moved halfway, and she felt a little relieved.

Just believe it. Medical technology is so advanced nowadays. As long as you spend a lot of money, there should be no problem.

Metis came to her mother and asked softly, "Can my brother be cured?"

Mori Minami patted her daughter's head and said, "Yes, our family is very rich. I work so hard so that I don't have to worry about money at times like this. I just have to wait patiently for Yushin to get better."

She knew in her heart that her daughter would be the one hit the hardest by this incident. She would definitely take all the blame on herself and fall into deep self-blame and guilt.

A new round of waiting began. Mori Minami was less anxious and more patient. Metis was still sitting on the bench, like a lifelike doll. She had lost her former vitality and was only a shell. Only her blinking reflex showed that she was a living person.

All the test results on Yushin Asano came out. This time the doctor didn't take a breath and explained the condition clearly at once.

"The results are in, and they're consistent with the initial diagnosis. The cortex is dead, and the patient will fall into a persistent vegetative state, also known as a vegetative state. Mr. Asano is currently in this state."

"Please be prepared. We cannot predict the time of awakening. Please do not be surprised if the patient opens and closes his eyes. The patient is able to make some reflex movements, but that does not mean he is awake. Now you can go in and check on the patient."

While Mori Minami was still thinking about what the doctor had said, Metis had already rushed into the ward.

The sound of instruments ticking incessantly and the pungent smell of alcohol hit her face. Several nurses were taking care of her unconscious brother.

Asano Yushin, wearing a hospital gown, had a bandage wrapped around his forehead and his brows were furrowed, as if he was experiencing a terrible nightmare.

Metis's pace slowed down, and she even had the urge to escape from here. Endless regret and self-blame turned into waves that swept over her, drowning her rationality and destroying the meaning of her existence.

Escaping is the most cowardly thing to do. If she runs away at this time, even her brother might not be willing to wake up for her.

Perhaps, her birth was a mistake, the personality named Metis should not exist, and she was the culprit that brought all the disasters.

If she hadn't insisted on traveling, if she hadn't gone to buy drinks, if she hadn't been so excited that she crossed the yellow line, these things wouldn't have happened. Her brother would have stayed at home and read quietly, cooked for her and her mother, and chatted with her about college life and various details of the wedding.

But she didn't dare to destroy herself, because this life was saved by her brother with all his might, and it had been completely marked by her brother.

She had no right to make the decision and had to wait until her brother woke up. At that time, her existence would belong entirely to her brother, and her life or death would depend on his words.

Sitting next to Asano Yushin, Metis gently held his hand, unable to control her tears any longer. Crystal clear tears gathered on her chin and splashed onto his hand in big drops.

"sorry."

"I'm really sorry."

"I'm sorry, for someone like me..."

This scene was seen by Mori Minami, who had just entered. A thousand words could only be transformed into a sigh full of complicated emotions. What's the point of apologizing now? He can't hear it.

In the endless darkness, a ray of light appeared in Asano Yushin's consciousness.
