CHAPTER 913: CHAPTER 913: LIKE A DREAM

After knowing that Chi Mingyuan wasn’t in serious danger, Mrs. Chi was completely relieved.

Understanding what Shi Yaoguang meant by her question, she didn’t dare delay and immediately explained the situation.

"Mingyuan, ever since the car accident, has suffered nerve damage and can’t use his limbs normally..."

After hearing this, Shi Yaoguang seemed thoughtful, "What did the doctors say?"

"Unless a miracle happens..."

Mrs. Chi sighed.

They said unless a miracle happens, but how easy is it for a miracle to appear?

Even if a miracle really occurs, it might not necessarily befall her son.

Shi Yaoguang withdrew her gaze, not continuing to observe Mrs. Chi’s expression.

Although she had a suspicion in her heart, she decided not to voice it before confirming it, so as not to give Mrs. Chi hope only to let her down later.

...

Meanwhile.

In the Dream Laboratory, Chi Mingyuan finally emerged from the cool-down protective state.

After the experiment was interrupted, he finally remembered what he had forgotten.

Before entering the holographic pod, he just wanted to try if he could move freely in the holographic game.

Then...

He forgot his purpose and started experimenting as soon as he entered the lab.

That was a bit awkward.

Although Chi Mingyuan had some reluctance to leave the holographic lab, he didn’t want his family to mistakenly think something happened to him, so he left with heavy steps.

Before leaving, he thought to himself.

He will definitely come back!

"Beep——"

The holographic pod sounded.

Then, the door opened from the inside.

Chi’s parents were standing nearby, and when Mrs. Chi saw him, her eyes instantly reddened, "Mingyuan!"

Chi Mingyuan instinctively wanted to raise his hand, but when he tried to move, he realized he was paralyzed.

He immediately looked down.

This time, the feeling of dejection didn’t last long.

In reality, he indeed couldn’t move.

But his mental power could still connect with brainwaves.

With brainwaves, he was still a person with functional limbs.

Thinking about it differently.

In the real world, if he wanted to conduct an experiment, he might not have a suitable lab or experimental equipment.

In the holographic pod, he could do whatever he wanted.

Mrs. Chi didn’t know his thoughts, and after confirming he was alright, she was completely at ease.

At this moment, Chi Mingyuan also noticed Shi Yaoguang standing nearby.

He certainly knew who she was.

Seeing her, Chi Mingyuan doubted if not just his limbs but even his eyes were giving him issues.

If not, why would he see his idol at home?

It’s true that Shi Yaoguang was an award-winning actress, but Chi Mingyuan admired her not for her acting, but for the high-tech innovations she brought out.

He genuinely admired Shi Yaoguang.

Before the accident, he had once thought that if he ever had the chance, he would definitely meet his idol.

After the accident, he completely abandoned that thought.

As someone like him, what could he do after meeting his idol?

He might as well obediently stay home and wait for death.

Then...

His dream suddenly and unexpectedly became reality.

Mrs. Chi noticed his gaze lingered on Shi Yaoguang and immediately slapped her forehead, introducing her, "Oh, my memory! Mingyuan, this is Miss Shi, you know her, right?"

Chi Mingyuan nodded.

Still feeling a bit unrealistic.

Mrs. Chi said, "Miss Shi specifically came by because she heard you’ve been in the holographic pod without coming out."

Upon hearing this, Chi Mingyuan suddenly realized what was happening.

He couldn’t even remember how long he’d been in the lab. Although the flow of time outside was different from that in the lab, judging by the time of day, it had been quite a while.

It was only natural that his family would be worried as he hadn’t come out.

He just didn’t expect Shi Yaoguang to personally come over.

Chi Mingyuan felt a mix of excitement and difficulty.

He hadn’t thought that the scene would be like this when he met his idol.

This made him momentarily unsure whether to be excited or sad.

Shi Yaoguang looked at him and suddenly said, "Master Chi, I’d like to talk to you alone, would that be convenient?"

Hearing this, Chi Mingyuan was a bit surprised, "What does Miss Shi want to talk about?"

He didn’t know what he had to warrant a private conversation with Shi Yaoguang.

Shi Yaoguang said calmly, "I saw the experiments you conducted in the lab and thought you had considerable expertise in scientific research, so I wanted to discuss it with you."

Chi Mingyuan’s eyes lit up, "Of course, I’m willing!"

After speaking, his expression darkened again.

His current physical condition was quite awkward.

Shi Yaoguang, aware of his thoughts, simply walked over and sat down next to him.

Chi Mingyuan was still sitting in the holographic pod, and now they were at eye level.

He didn’t expect Shi Yaoguang to do this and felt a bit overwhelmed.

Shi Yaoguang looked at him and said with a smile, "I’m here because I have some questions that I’d like to ask you."

Chi Mingyuan didn’t think he had anything that would deserve Shi Yaoguang to say "ask for advice," and immediately said, "I’m unworthy. Whatever questions you have, if I can answer, I surely will."

Shi Yaoguang nodded and brought up her questions.

After listening for a while, Mrs. Chi and the others couldn’t understand what they were talking about and tactfully left.

Once everyone left, Shi Yaoguang put her hand on Chi Mingyuan’s wrist.

Chi Mingyuan was a bit surprised at her sudden action.

However, he didn’t resist.

Well, even if he wanted to resist, he couldn’t.

He sighed.

He looked at Shi Yaoguang faintly and asked, "Miss Shi, do you know medicine?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded.

Seeing this, Chi Mingyuan didn’t ask anything further.

But then he heard Shi Yaoguang ask, "How was your experience with Gu Qianning in the holographic pod this time?"

"Great!" Chi Mingyuan didn’t hesitate.

And he shared his thoughts.

For someone like him, the holographic pod was truly a blessing.

At the very least, with the holographic pod, he could still conduct experiments in the holographic lab.

Even though he couldn’t bring the experimental results into the real world, at least with his experiments as a precedent, others wanting to do the same would have data to refer to.

Shi Yaoguang smirked lightly, "You’re satisfied just with experimental data?"

Chi Mingyuan smiled bitterly, "What else can I do? I’m now a cripple, unable to even sit up, let alone..."

He hadn’t finished his sentence before he froze.

After all, he wasn’t born disabled.

Sometimes, instinctively, he would attempt certain actions.

Just like a moment ago.

He was trying to sit up, even though he was aware he couldn’t move.

Then...

He actually managed to sit up.

Chi Mingyuan was stunned.

He blankly moved his hand before his eyes, opening and closing his palm, then looked at Shi Yaoguang with disbelief, "Miss Shi, this..."

As he spoke, he also tried to move his legs.

Unfortunately, his legs showed no signs of movement.

Simultaneously, his arms suddenly lost support, and he lay back down again.

All this felt like a dream to him.

Once abruptly awakened from the dream, it felt like nothing was left.
