All the Protagonists I’ve Scummed Came To Me For Revenge Chapter 27: Who Is Abnormal (9)

After closing the door, Xia Yu stopped when she turned around. She looked back at the door and turned around to open it again.

The door opened effortlessly.

Xia Yu: “…”

So Ke Yao was just kidding me.

The corner of her eye twitched. She was too lazy to complain about Ke Yao’s bad taste. She didn’t even know that Ke Yao was trying to scare her when she came to open the door.

The key is that she actually believed it.

Xia Yu was in a very complicated mood.

She couldn’t understand these things either. Everything in this world made her doubt whether she was a fool. Why could people perceive each other so differently? It was really stressful to get along with a genius.

Shaking her head, she smiled bitterly in her heart. How could she remember so many things after being in so many different worlds? Everything she had learned before was returned to the teacher.

It has to be very thorough.

After her resurrection, she may have to face her current predicament, which is being out of touch with the times, and she will need to spend a lot of energy to reintegrate into society.

There would be no one waiting for her at that time, and no one would help her.

Let alone lovers, she didn’t even have any enemies. As for friends, she could see clearly that her so-called friends were just superficial friends. It was still unknown whether they recognized her at that time, let alone helped her.

Forget it, why think so much.

She needed to test the system’s standards. She would not deliberately think about clearing Ke Yao’s name. If this world was the same as the previous one, and the system showed no reaction after she was done, then in the next world she would probably just need to go through the motions.

The system remained silent, without any response.

She suspected that something had happened, and now it seemed that it didn’t matter whether she worked hard or not, and the system might not fulfill its promise.

In this case, she might as well follow her own ideas. She is really tired of playing someone else all the time. She can’t even figure out her own identity.

If you wear a mask for a long time, it may really grow into your flesh and become a part of your face.

She discovered the changes in herself, and she was afraid that she could no longer maintain her original heart. She was terrified of that change, so when the system said she needed to do it again, she would get angry.

If your idea is wrong and you completed the task in the previous world, then the system will definitely criticize you for your slacking.

If not, then she’ll just muddle through the rest of the world.

“Someone just came?”

Ke Yao’s voice interrupted Xia Yu’s worries. She suppressed her thoughts and nodded, “Your assistant just sent over some data.”

“Yeah.” Ke Yao nodded.

She didn’t seem surprised by the appearance of her assistant. Xia Yu guessed that the data must have been sent by her.

Xia Yu looked at her and said curiously: “She said this data is about cancer.”

Xia Yu saw that Ke Yao had no expression on her face, but her eyelashes trembled. She was doubtful, and before she could open her mouth, she heard Ke Yao speak.

“Yes, it’s data about cancer cells. Are you interested?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? How can I possibly understand it?” Xia Yu rolled her eyes and said, “Why are you still researching this thing? Have you made any progress?”

“…” Ke Yao picked up the documents on the table and fell silent.

It seems that there is no progress.

Cancer is a terminal disease that plagues the entire world and there is no cure for it.

“Cancer cells are not something that can be solved in this era.” Ke Yao sighed softly, looking at the data with a complicated look in her eyes, and said, “Current technology is not enough to solve it.”

“You can’t do that either?”

“At least you need to give me…” Ke Yao was stunned for a moment, choking back the rest of her words, and said, “It’s difficult. At the moment, I can’t do it.”

Xia Yu wondered why she suddenly changed her tune. She felt something was amiss with Ke Yao, but she didn’t know where it came from.

“I’ll study this data.”

“Okay.”

Ke Yao’s life is very boring. Even with Xia Yu, it is still very boring. Unless Xia Yu asks her to, she will not leave the house at all. It feels like she will stay at home forever.

Influenced by Ke Yao, Xia Yu also developed a desire to learn. Because she had almost forgotten all the knowledge in the real world, she began to spend time re-studying.

After all, what she has learned is hers and she will never forget it. The system will not erase her memory.

Xia Yu was also happy to have some free time. After hesitating for a while, she decided to test the system and stop disturbing Ke Yao.

If Ke Yao hadn’t been by her side as soon as she woke up, she might have thought of not contacting the protagonist and testing whether the system allowed her to come back because of whitewashing.

This kind of situation had never occurred in the system before. It disappeared without a sound.

And so, a month passed.

After a month of contact, Xia Yu began to become more and more confused, because she lived and slept with Ke Yao, and she probably knew Ke Yao’s daily routine. Even if she didn’t want to sleep, Xia Yu would force her to close her eyes. After a month, she would definitely see some results.

But the result was that Ke Yao’s complexion seemed to be getting uglier and uglier. The fatigue on her face was visible to the naked eye, and she looked even more listless than before. Xia Yu hinted at her going to the hospital, but Ke Yao just smiled and said that she was just a little tired and there was nothing wrong with her.

It would be strange if she believed such words.

So she tried a different approach.

She told Ke Yao that she wanted to go home and visit her parents because she missed them.

Of course Ke Yao would not refuse such a request. If she refused even such a request, she would be truly inhumane, and Xia Yu would not let it go.

So I went to my new home with Ke Yao.

Ke Yao was very familiar with the route she came from and must have been there several times. Xia Yu guessed that it might be related to her.

When they got home, Mother Xia was very surprised and took her home to talk to her about her concern. Father Xia sat in the living room and chatted with Ke Yao.

Xia Yu followed her mother to the kitchen, watched her mother make tea, turned around to look at the living room and whispered, “Mom, what’s going on with you guys?”

“What’s going on?”

“You guys just stuffed me into Ke Yao’s arms that day. Am I really your biological child? Even after I went to Ke Yao’s place, you guys didn’t even contact me.”

When Mother Xia heard this, she paused to put down the tea leaves, then sighed and said, “Xiaoyu, Mom wanted to call you and visit you too.”

“Why not?”

Mother Xia also glanced back at the living room, moved her lips, and finally said to her daughter: “This is an agreement with Miss Ke. I can’t take the initiative to disturb you for the time being.”

“Ha!” Xia Yu thought she had misheard and said in disbelief, “Mom, are you kidding?”

Mother Xia shook her head and said, “Don’t you like me?”

“But you are my parents. Why do you have to make such a rule with her?”

Mother Xia hesitated, but finally said nothing. She shook her head and walked towards the living room with the tea.

Xia Yu’s doubts deepened.

She did not follow her out, but stayed in the kitchen. After serving tea, Mother Xia returned to the kitchen.

“Mom, is Ke Yao feeling unwell?”

Mother Xia was stunned and looked at her in astonishment: “Why do you think so?”

“I advised her to go to the hospital but she refused to go. She must know what’s wrong with her.”

“Then you have to go and tell her this.”

“Didn’t she listen to me?”

“You can’t even convince her, do you expect me, your mother, to persuade her?”

“Of course not, I just wanted to ask Mom if you know something.” Otherwise, why would she make that kind of agreement with her and give her to Ke Yao without any discussion.

“How could I know so much?” Xia’s mother said helplessly, “You have to ask your father about these. Your father might know something.”

Dad?

Xia Yu looked at Mother Xia in confusion, very puzzled. Logically speaking, the person who is least likely to get along well with Ke Yao is Father Xia, right?

“The company and Ms. Ke have a cooperative relationship.”

“Ha!” Xia Yu tilted her head, “But our family is not a pharmaceutical company!”

“Transformed.”

This is too big a span, isn’t it?!

However, with Ke Yao’s help, it is indeed a very good choice to abandon the previous things and devote all her energy to the medical field.

Then Xia Yu thought, she understood.

So the Xia family is now relying on, or even depending on, Ke Yao. All the initiative is in Ke Yao’s hands. That’s why Father Xia can sit down and talk with Ke Yao so amicably without blushing once.

It’s not that he sold his daughter for money. After all, seven years have passed. Father Xia probably still dislikes her, but he and Ke Yao must have reconciled, otherwise there would be no cooperation.

This guy Ke Yao is really…

Such a big piece of cake, you can give it to me as soon as you say so.

Mother Xia had already cut up some fruit, put it on a plate, and called out to her daughter, “Okay, what’s the point of staying in the kitchen all the time?”

“I just want to talk to you, mom.” Xia Yu followed behind her mother with a smile.

“Since you’re here, why not stay for dinner?”

“Okay.” Ke Yao turned to look at Xia Yu again: “You don’t have to accompany me.”

Xia Yu nodded to indicate that she knew, and then looked at her mother. She felt that her mother must know something, but just refused to tell her.

When Xia Yu was gone, Father Xia said calmly: “When are you going to tell her? Even if you never tell her, you should know. You can’t hide it for too long.”

“Her mental state is still unstable.” Ke Yao took a sip of tea and spoke to Father Xia in a very calm manner, without feeling like a father-in-law.

“Speaking out now will only irritate her and worsen her condition.” Ke Yao looked at Father Xia and said, “Uncle, you don’t want Xiaoyu’s condition to get worse, right?”

Of course Father Xia was unwilling to do so. If possible, he didn’t even want his daughter to continue following Ke Yao.

But he and Ke Yao have known each other for seven years. Although he was unhappy with Ke Yao from the perspective of Xia Yu’s father, he admired Ke Yao from other aspects.

Ke Yao is a person who cherishes old friendships very much. Xia Yu has helped him a lot over the years. It can be said that Ke Yao has played a very important role in his success today.

That’s why he softened his heart and agreed to Ke Yao.

“Then you know what? If you don’t tell her now, she will get even sicker when you die!”
