Chapter 509 Contact Space
Wang Jianguo comforted her softly:
"Be careful, I'll take you back to your room."
He half supported and half carried her to the room. Along the way, He Yushui's steps were slow and she almost stumbled several times. Fortunately, Wang Jianguo was strong enough to prevent her from falling.
After finally sending He Yushui to her own room, putting her on the bed, pulling up the quilt for her and making sure she would not catch a cold, Wang Jianguo turned and left.
Then, Wang Jianguo, still looking drunk, staggered towards his room.
As soon as he entered the room, he immediately stopped being drunk and his eyes instantly became clear and sharp.
He first tiptoed towards the window, fearing that any noise would disturb others who were not yet asleep.
After standing by the window, he carefully moved a corner of the curtain, leaving only a narrow gap. Through this gap, he held his breath, his eyes fixed on every move outside the door.
Time seems to freeze at this moment, and every passing second is infinitely stretched.
Finally, after a long while, he saw the light in Zhao Shuzhuo's room flicker slightly a few times, and then went out completely, and the darkness quickly swallowed up the door like a tide.
Wang Jianguo knew that Zhao Shuzhuo had fallen asleep. Only at this moment did his tense nerves relax a little, but he still did not dare to be careless.
He slowly left the window and walked to the door quietly. He first pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside the door. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he stretched out his hand and slowly and steadily pressed against the door, as if he was completing an extremely sacred ritual.
This impact was like building a safety barrier for his own little world, isolating it from all interference from the outside world.
After doing all this, he quickly returned to the bed, lay down as quickly as possible, pulled the quilt over himself, and wrapped himself tightly.
Then, Wang Jianguo closed his eyes, put aside all distracting thoughts, and began to concentrate his mental energy, trying to open the mysterious system.
At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind - to contact Yu Li and her sister Li Dujuan who were trapped in space.
Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead, his brows were furrowed, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly due to excessive concentration.
Every bit of mental power he mobilized consumed a huge amount of his energy, but he didn't care at all. He only wanted to break through the barriers of reality and space and get in touch with his relatives.
Wang Jianguo's eyes were fixed on the mysterious space interface in front of him that was emitting a faint blue light. His fingers were trembling slightly due to nervousness and excitement, and his heart was beating violently in his chest, as if it was about to burst through his chest.
At this moment, a line of eye-catching, glowing large characters slowly emerged in the space, like the brightest stars in the night sky, instantly attracting all his attention.
[Hello, space users. Today is the traditional Chinese festival, Spring Festival. We are making an exception to open video access for users. You can interact with people in the space through video. Please note that there is only one chance.]
Wang Jianguo's breathing suddenly became rapid and his chest heaved violently. His eyes moved repeatedly over the line of words, trying to confirm that he was not mistaken.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, all the noise around him disappeared, and the only thing left in the world was him and these words carrying hope.
It has been almost a year, more than 300 days and nights, and he has been suffering from the longing for his relatives, especially his sister Li Dujuan, the girl who followed him around and played with him since childhood, and who grew up to be sensible and well-behaved, always thinking of others.
They had spent countless springs, summers, autumns and winters together, shared snacks during breaks at school, and ran home together in the rain in the evenings.
And the moments when they encouraged each other when they encountered difficulties were like precious movie clips, constantly playing in his mind.
Although men are often more reserved in expressing their emotions and are used to burying their thoughts deep in their hearts, this long separation is really unbearable for him.
On countless silent nights, he lay in bed, looking at the dark ceiling, his mind filled with his sister's smiling face. The longing overwhelmed him like a tide, yet he could not express it.
Now, the sudden video permission before him is like a ray of light breaking through the dark night sky, rekindling his hope of meeting his loved ones.
Wang Jianguo's eyes became moist unconsciously, and his throat seemed to be choked by something and he couldn't make a sound.
He blinked hard, trying to hold back the tears that were about to burst out, and clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if he was venting the surging emotions in his heart.
At this moment, he was full of anticipation for the upcoming video call, eager to see his sister's familiar face and hear her kind voice again. Even if it was only for a brief moment, it would be enough to comfort the pain of missing her for a year.
In Wang Jianguo's heart, relatives are of great significance, even though he is surrounded by many relatives such as his grandmother and uncle in life.
They showed care and accompanied him through many unforgettable times, and the warmth of family love often comforted his heart.
However, Li Dujuan has a special status that makes others different. She is the only direct relative in the world who is connected to him by blood. This innate and unbreakable blood bond makes them irreplaceable in each other's hearts.
From the moment they were born to the time they learned to speak, and from ignorant children to what they are today, they have supported and protected each other along the way.
During the years we spent together, every moment of laughter and tears is like a bright star embedded in the depths of memory, forging an incomparably deep brotherly and sisterly relationship.
At this moment, Wang Jianguo's heartbeat accelerated sharply, his hands trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of tension and anticipation.
He concentrated on following the cold yet extremely friendly prompt tone of the space system, tapping his fingers carefully in the air, completing the operation of starting the video call step by step.
Every movement seemed to carry a huge weight, for fear that the slightest mistake would lead to missing this hard-earned and precious opportunity.
As he pressed the last confirmation button, time seemed to freeze and a suffocating atmosphere of tension filled the air.
One second, two seconds... in just a moment, the video call was miraculously connected quickly.
Wang Jianguo's eyes widened instantly and he stared at the screen, afraid of missing any picture.
On the screen, Li Dujuan's familiar and friendly face first came into view, her eyes bright and lively.
There was joy and excitement in seeing his relatives, and tears were faintly flickering in his eyes, as if telling of the longing and grievances he had felt over the past year.
Beside her, Yu Li stood gracefully with a gentle smile on her lips, her eyes full of concern and attachment to Wang Jianguo. Even in a difficult situation, her elegance and composure remained unchanged, which made people feel warm.
